The Anarchic Consort [ Chapter 1 - 199 ]

Chapter 47: Two-Faced Highness

He feigned ignorance and asked, “What are these? They seem very interesting.”

Nangong Lie’s mouth stretched open, almost as if he wanted to talk……

Baili Jia Jue glanced over coldly and Nangong Lie immediately swallowed back what he was about to say. It’s just that felt indignant! He was truly dissatisfied. [When you were six years old, you already played with all kinds of armaments. Now, surprisingly, you shamelessly pretend to be a newbie!? Don’t tell me that you really couldn’t tell what those pieces of scrap iron are used for. Countless materials for you to play with are stored within the Ghost Palace, alright? !]

He had no choice but to admit that a certain Highness was really good at acting. Within that pair of deep and profound eyes was an innocence which never existed before, so that even Wei Wei, an ace secret agent, wasn’t suspicious at all as she lazily and leisurely explained, “Toys to train the hands. Just a regular armament and unfinished right now. Wait till it’s finished and I’ll give it to you.” Having spoken thus, she paused a bit, before continuing, “This can be considered compensation for having seen your body the other day.”

Nangong Lie’s mouth was filled with water which he hadn’t swallowed, but almost spurted back out, choked, and coughed. The way this eldest daughter of the Helian family behaved was…….outrageous!

Within the capital, there wasn’t a single well-bred young lady from a prestigious family who would bluntly say, “saw your body” and so on. He had no choice but to say that a certain Highness’ taste was truly unique.

“I really look forward to it.” Baili Jia Jue at first was stunned. After that, he slowly smiled thinly like a devil.

Nangong Lie looked on from the side and his whole body shivered. He began to calculate how many more days the Helian family’s eldest daughter had left to live.

What he hadn’t expected was that Ah Jue really looked as if his frame of mind was a little better than before, so much so that he even gracefully helped Wei Wei select the usable scrap metal and arranged them in order.

However, this was also not so strange. His Highness’ natural disposition had always been unfathomable, such that there were times when even he couldn’t tell what he was thinking.

Wei Wei raised her eyebrows as she looked at the young man’s movements, then casually said, “You also heard what those people just said. Aren’t you afraid the thing I make will be simply unpresentable?”

“Not afraid.” His manner was as carefree as light breezes and floating clouds. A hand propped up the side of Baili Jia Jue’s face. His black hair half hung down, emanating a strong aura of scholarliness.

Wei Wei’s fingers paused and brought over the scrap iron in her hand, “This thing is no good. If I encounter something suitable in the future, I’ll make it again for you.” Since it’s someone who believed in her, she should treat him sincerely.

Baili Jia Jue had encountered countless armament experts. He naturally also knew these cold iron pieces contained imperfections, but his indolent face only appeared puzzled and disappointed.

Wei Wei knew that generally every new student who entered the academy wanted to obtain an armament that belonged only to them. However, due to the preciousness of armaments, the academy simply could not equip every new student with one. In fact, all resources were delegated to the Superior Compound.

Therefore, it’s not strange at all that the young man in front of her should want to obtain an armament.

However, Wei Wei always felt that there was something strange about him……that’s right, she remembered now!
