Chapter 74 (2/2)

His previously apathetic heart seemed to suddenly skip a beat at that moment.

However, this didn’t affect his judgment of the current political situation at all.

Jing Wu w.a.n.g was the Murong Prince’s Mansion and the Su family’s cooperative chess piece, planted within White Academy since ten plus years ago.

With great difficulty, he now finally was put to use. At this crucial point in time, how could Jing Wu w.a.n.g, because of such a trivial matter, be arrested and possibly be used against them!

However, Jing Wu w.a.n.g truly indeed had nothing to say. Currently, he’d already been caught in a quandary. No matter how he replied, it’d be wrong. This was just like holding onto a hot potato.

Wei Wei faintly smiled. This time, she should be able to thoroughly shut up the people who took part in ridiculing her all these years!

The atmosphere instantly fell into an impa.s.se.

All of the students were apparently waiting for the outcome.

“Wei Wei, right now, the truth of the matter has already been revealed. Third Prince is also here and naturally has formed a judgment in his mind. Master Jing certainly doesn’t have the qualifications to make this decision.”

The gorgeous and steady tone of voice interrupted the brief silence.

Wei Wei glanced back and only saw Murong Chang Feng standing behind her with an indifferent expression as his gaze fell on Helian Jiao Er and Jing Wu w.a.n.g. After that, he looked away without exposing any trace of partiality. A short sentence was enough to expel all of the pressure that Jing Wu w.a.n.g had been subjected to.

Wei Wei’s gaze fiercely fixed on him. The second time. This was already the second time that he cut off her plans.

When Lord Murong spoke, naturally everyone would listen.

This was the network of friends within the crowd of aristocrats.

When anything happened, it seemed as if the actual facts wasn’t important at all.

He previously swore an oath at the main hall of a Buddhist temple to stand by her with steadfast loyalty.

Everyone in court, from top to bottom knew that she, Wei Wei, was to be Lord Murong Chang Feng’s future consort.

Yet now, not only did he not support her, on the contrary, over time, he’d been sharpened into a sharp sword directly stabbing into her back from behind, killing her without reservation.

Everyone said that she wrapped herself around him, that she didn’t deserve him, yet no one remembered who it was that originally repeatedly visited the Defense Division just so he could play together with her.

Actually, at that time, it was he who carried her to a hilltop and promised to give her a view of the most beautiful scenery.

Yet now, he’d let go and thrown her down the hill disregarding the blood flowing from her head.

For the sake of consolidating his own power, Murong Chang Feng chose to protect Jing Wu w.a.n.g, defend Helian Jiao Er, and abandon her…

Wei Wei felt a profound disdain and loathing.

However, Murong Chang Feng misunderstood and even thought that she was reminiscing, so his gaze softened somewhat.

Standing by the side, Jing Wu w.a.n.g knew that Murong Chang Feng was giving him a way out so he immediately responded. “Lord’s right. I’m only a teacher of martial qi. How could I know what was punishable or not in this matter.”

Having said that, he turned towards Baili Jia Jue. “How about we let Third Prince make the ruling.”

Once Wei Wei heard this, she felt that everything was hopeless. People from the Imperial Family was best at feigning ignorance. In regards to a trivial matter like this, Third Prince would naturally stand on the side of Jing Wu w.a.n.g and the others, especially when the imperial consort he’d selected behind closed doors was on that side.

And those aristocratic young lads and ladies understood these rules the most. There also would be no one who would help by speaking up for her.

Upon careful examination, she was simply fighting on her own…

Wei Wei’s thoughts hadn’t fully taken shape, when she saw Baili Jia Jue jump down from the horse. His face wearing the silver mask, dressed in gorgeous and opulent clothes appeared exceptionally handsome, the dense eyebrows and eyelashes, deeply hidden black pupils bewitchingly caused people to be captivated…
