However, right now, the issue that she needed to resolve was to visit the principal and properly end her leave of absence.
Master had already helped her ask for three days off but her struggle against Third Prince used up one and a half day’s time. Right now, it’s already the fifth day, and Master was also no longer at White Academy. She wondered how the principal was going to punish her.
That’s why after she separated from Third Prince, Wei Wei didn’t immediately return to the Inferior Compound at all, but rather, she headed off to Tusu Feng’s study.
What she didn’t expect was that when she entered his study, her desk-mate was also there.
He calmly stood at the most distant section of the room. He was wearing a full body pure white robe layered with a slim-fitting black outer robe. His handsome figure stood bolt upright like a sword, his appearance was not clearly seen from the distance.
Somehow, Wei Wei felt that this appearance of his felt very familiar.
He seemed to have been saying something to the principal.
Wei Wei couldn’t clearly make out what they were saying, merely that looking from this direction, that pair of long and narrow matchless dark eyes was peaceful and calm, appearing especially mysterious.
Her desk-mate, when did he change into this figure from a painting?
Wei Wei was just about to look more carefully when she saw him turn his body and extended a hand to place it inside of his jacket, just like a nobleman who walked out of a manga. That pair of eyes was also as graceful and wickedly misleading as they used to be while an arc forming a smile that was not a smile hung on the corners of his mouth, proud and aloof, bewitchingly gazing down at her. With demonic charm, he faced her and smiled. “My respected financial backer finally returned.”
Wei Wei noiselessly rubbed her temples which started aching. How come the words that this guy spoke made people associate them with a fluttering dance. “What brings you here, too?”
“Something came up with my family that required returning for a few days.” Baili Jia Jue’s voice was natural, and seemed like this matter wasn’t important at all.
On the contrary, Little Bald Head sitting by the side eating his stuffed meat bun, when he heard this excuse, his movements paused as the little cute face that was like a bun became stiff and twitched.
Even though he was already used to Third Brother’s ability to pretend, however, when he saw it, it still affected his appetite.
The little Seventh Prince started to wonder, should he go into closed door training and wait until Third Brother resumed his own identity before coming back out!
Otherwise, this could really tire him out.
He had to pay attention to everything he said and couldn’t walk too close to Third Brother, all because of those people at the Superior Compound. All day long, they wanted to bring trouble to Third Brother, and even planned something for the testing event within the academy this time, wanting to use the opportunity to bully Third Brother.
Thinking up to this point, Little Bald Head slightly raised his head, held a stuffed meat bun, and started to observe a moment of silence on behalf of those people.
Tusu Feng didn’t stop his questioning from just now at all, even as Wei Wei entered. He kindly curved his thin lips as his fingers pushed up on the spectacles which had slid down. “The Inferior Compound needs to produce three people to take part in the test within the academy. Why don’t the two of you recommend one more person to me.”
Wei Wei creased her long, shapely eyebrows. If she didn’t remember incorrectly, she was only here to take care of her leave of absence. What’s this about a test within the academy?
“This is White Academy’s tradition, which happens every year.” Yuan Ming’s pondering voice transmitted from the Celestial Boundary Space. “Each compound needs to send three people as their representative for the purpose of the testing. However, students from the Inferior Compound have never won before, and have tended to lose fairly miserably. Who can you guys blame for belonging to the Inferior Compound. If the students with the lowest aptitudes don’t lose, now that would be unnatural.”
Wei Wei’s lips moved up and down as she said an ‘oh’, and was clearly not very interested.
Tusu Feng naturally also perceived her expression. His eyes swept across the handwriting on the fine writing paper, which was an introduction to the Helian family’s most well-known good-for-nothing. His pair of hands were placed on the tabletop as he spoke neither urgently nor slowly. “The compound that tops the test will be awarded one hundred thousand taels of silver and ten days of vacation. How about it? Do the two of you still feel that it’s uninteresting?”
