Eunuch Sun also didn’t say anymore, brushed the dirt from his hands, and left with Baili Jia Jue.
Probably, it was because they were annoyed with Helian Jiao Er’s appearance that none of them discovered that after they left, one imperial guard actually already mysteriously disappeared…
Helian Jiao Er, who’d just eaten a soft nail (tactful retort) from Eunuch Sun, gripped the handkerchief in her hands tightly, her eyes brimming with poisonous thoughts. However, her goal had already been accomplished. After having heard her, she didn’t believe that Third Prince would be unconcerned with what she’d just said.
That slut’s reputation could just disappear along with today.
Staying out at night was punishable at White Academy. If that slut still hadn’t appeared by the time day breaks, that’d also turn her and the Hei family’s young master having some kind of shameful relationship between them into reality.
She certainly didn’t care about what Eunuch Sun had just said. Even though that slut was innocent, she’d still borrow this opportunity to once again stink up her reputation!
Self satisfaction was reflected in Helian Jiao Er’s eyes. She was just about to leave when she discovered that her lantern carrying servant girl was lowering her head without any reason to. With annoyance, she berated her. “Why aren’t you bringing the lantern over here quickly, don’t even have a bit of common sense!”
“Yes.” That ‘servant girl’ deferentially came over. Don’t know if it was because the sky was too dark, so she was afraid that Helian Jiao Er would fall, but from beginning to end, her eyes were lowered and knowing her place, fetched the lantern, not even raising her head for a bit.
And Baili Jia Jue, who had just strolled into the Superior Compound, seemed as if he’d just thought of something, suddenly tightened his pair of eyes and said in a voice cold to the extreme, “Assemble all of the imperial guards over here and take a headcount.”
All of the shadows blanked out not understanding why their master would give this kind of order.
Not until after they’d really gathered did they perspire a thin layer of cold sweat on their forehead. “Reporting to His Highness. We are short one.”
“We are short one.” Baili Jia Jue coldly smiled as he repeated this sentence, within his voice, there penetrated a bone-chilling coldness, making everybody retract their necks a bit.
Especially Shadow, who’d followed by Baili Jia Jue’s side for years on end. The imperial troops was short one person, what did this represent?
This indicated that it’s very possible that Wei Wei had just disguised herself among them and listened to their plans right under their noses.
Yet they weren’t aware of these things at all!
Should he really praise that Helian family’s eldest miss for her top notch disguise techniques, or should he infer instead, that she’s reckless and unafraid to die?
This Wei Wei was still the first person who dared to look down at the people who represented his master’s imperial power.
“Good. Indeed, very good.” Baili Jia Jue slowly pulled off a plastered smile. That kind of evil, ice-cold smile, without reaching the eyes at all, on the contrary, caused people all the more to be able to be aware of his entire body becoming stiff.
So that even Eunuch Sun was finally aware of this matter’s oddness. How was there one imperial guard short at this time, oh my dear mother, by all means don’t let it be what I was thinking.
How could the Helian family’s eldest miss be so fearless in this way, my God!
Even so daring as to pose as His Highness’ imperial soldier!
Baili Jia Jue’s pair of stiffened hands slightly loosened and along with that, the tree behind him swayed without a reason as if a fierce wind struck at it impatiently.
His hair as black as the night was blowing and waved like slithering snakes wandering in the underbrush. That pair of phoenix-shaped eyes that had been concealed behind indifference for years, suddenly flashed with a fierce light. Swish, swish, crash. The leaves fell from the tree as he tilted his head, as if he was considering something.
After a while, that kind of bone-penetrating cold voice sounded out again. “Just now, how many servant girls followed by Helian Jiao Er’s side?”
How many servant girls? Eunuch Sun blanked out. This kind of thing ordinarily simply wasn’t noticed by anyone, right?
“Reporting to Your Highness. There were two.” Shadow recollected for a bit, then finally resolutely responded with a number.
“Arrest them all.” Baili Jia Jue retracted his gaze from the imperial guards’ bodies. His tall and straight back, was as bolt upright as a pine tree, so indifferent and detached that it prevented people from feeling the slightest bit of temperature.
