“Your Highness, we’ve found Young Master Hei.”
One shadow ran over, leaned over by the side of Baili Jia Jue’s ear and said some things.
Within Baili Jia Jue’s beautiful eyes, there wasn’t a single movement. There were only those wide and s.p.a.cious sleeves which carried the cold winds and made the figure of his back even more difficult to approach, completely ice-cold.
With his skill, soon, Baili Jia Jue arrived in front of Hei Ze, who was being detained.
The shadows naturally wouldn’t really do anything to the Hei family’s young master.
They only obstructed him from leaving, that’s all. However, merely doing this was already extremely daring.
Within the entire capital, probably the only person who dared to obstruct the Hei family’s second young master was Third Prince, Baili Jia Jue.
Having seen him, the corners of Hei Ze’s mouth curved up. “His Highness is indeed very refined, it’s so late and still not sleeping?”
“Isn’t Second Young Master also still not asleep?” The tone of Baili Jia Jue’s voice was very level and almost appeared as if he was indifferent about everything, yet carried a demonic chill that was not easy to withstand. “Where is she?”
When Hei Ze was being obstructed, he already cursed in his mind, sh*t.
After that, he then started to think of every possible script he could use. He thought about the kinds of exchanges he would have with Third Prince when he arrived. No matter how the conversation progressed, he would, step by step, skillfully deflect it.
However!
Third Prince simply didn’t deal the cards according to convention. He approached and asked at once “Where is she?”
Three such graceful and direct words, made Hei Ze thoroughly stunned.
All of the scripts he’d previously devised, became totally useless!
What Third Highness knew was clearly much more than he’d imagined. Thinking up to this point, Hei Ze bluntly smiled devilishly. “If the one Third Prince is referring to is Helian Wei Wei, then she already left the academy.”
The two words, Wei Wei, made Baili Jia Jue’s eyes sink deeper. The smile at the corners of his mouth was even deeper than usual. “Already left?”
“That’s right, she already left.” Hei Ze couldn’t have spoken in a more sincere manner. “We originally mutually agreed to go down the mountain. Later, however, she seemed to be very anxious, and left in advance. At the moment, she most likely has already reached the main road. If Your Highness sends people to give chase right now, they should be able to bring her back.”
Baili Jia Jue profoundly glanced at him, and gracefully and calmly said, “I should thank Second Young Master for offering such an important clue to me.”
“A commoner should only do the things a commoner ought to do.” Hei Ze curved his lips and smiled. A trace of complacency crossed his face as he was thinking of how he’d never been so resourceful before.
Baili Jia Jue leisurely turned the black jade ring on his finger, faced Shadow and levelly commanded. “Allow Second Young Master to leave.”
“Yes.” Shadow hesitated a bit. He somewhat didn’t dare to believe that His Highness would allow Hei family’s young master to leave just like that. There clearly was something going on between him and Miss Helian. If they investigated, maybe they could discover something.
Baili Jia Jue didn’t think that way. That ‘little sly fox’ deliberately let loose Hei Ze, sending him forth as a smokescreen precisely because she wanted to hold him up. It wasn’t necessary for him to waste his time on Hei Ze. What’s more…
“Continue to search for me. Reduce the range; she hasn’t gone anywhere and is still at the academy.”
After hearing that, not only did Hei Ze, who was going to leave, become motionless, even the pit of Wei Wei’s stomach, while she was concealed within the troops, also trembled!
Hei Ze’s lie was seen through!
Not only that, that guy surprisingly even made use of Hei Ze’s words and employed reverse a.n.a.lysis on them to target her real position!
This time, her situation had become even more precarious…
Moreover, since Third Prince already gave the command to allow Hei Ze to leave, then Hei Ze needed to leave.
In other words, from now onwards, she really would be fighting on her own.
Wei Wei chewed on her lips, looked into the dim light of night before she composed herself as before, as upright and tall as a pine tree’s silhouette. Her lanky body’s every graceful movement was calm and unhurried as she immediately straightened out her sleeves, as if everything was within her control.
Also, it could be that he did it on purpose. He deliberately got rid of Hei Ze, thereby cutting off the link she had with Hei Ze.
Heh.
Without Hei Ze, she’d still be able to succeed as before. Even though it’d be a bit more challenging, but it’s no more challenging than just remaining concealed!
