“Pa.s.s on the command.” Not taking notice of the fire qilin’s opinion, Baili Jia Jue dropped his eyes and bit by bit, grasped the coat in his hand tightly. “All imperial guards are to stop the search and remove the check point at the base of the mountain.”
Shadow stared blankly, having some difficulty believing as he asked, “Withdraw them all?” Just now, His Highness even seemed like he swore not to give up until he caught Miss Helian, how did he just become soft-hearted all of a sudden?
Within the next second, Shadow discovered that he was wrong, because His Highness simply didn’t become soft hearted. On the contrary, he changed to an even more ruthless method. “a.s.sign a shadow to every area outside of the city wall and pull up the fis.h.i.+ng net. Setting off arrows are prohibited. I want to capture her alive.”
His voice was very low, yet resolutely and absolutely did not tolerate skepticism.
Even though Shadow was excessively concerned about His Highness acting this way. Weren’t they making too big of a move, it would arouse the four great clans’ attention. However, he understood that His Highness had always conducted his affairs without evading whatever four great clans.
“Watch the city gates closely. If there were elderly, pregnant women, or anyone else whose movements were inconvenienced wanting to leave the city walls, you need to inspect them carefully. In addition, send people to trail Hei Ze.” Baili Jia Jue once more slowly raised his thin lips. He spoke so slowly that it made the ears of those people who were listening go totally numb. “As long as someone approaches him, catch them for me.”
He didn’t know why, but when Shadow heard these words, he intuitively started praying for that girl.
He believed that if Miss Helian was smart enough, then she shouldn’t go look for Hei family’s young master.
Because apparently, His Highness recently had always looked at the Hei family in an unfavorable manner…
At a time period during the very early morning. Wei Wei had just walked out of the forest, her entire body cutting a sorry figure as she breathed out one long breath. After that, she seriously and conscientiously looked herself up and down as she faced the heavens and yelled out with emotion. “I’m so beautiful!”
“Are you really talking about that body of yours covered in smelly mud from head to toe?” The white cat jumped to one side to shrink from her. “Still in the mood to make fun of yourself. Looks like you haven’t been driven insane by Third Prince yet.”
“He’s indeed so astute that he doesn’t seem to be human.” Wei Wei laughed. “That’s me, skin’s coa.r.s.e and meat’s thick (she’s tough). If it has been anyone else, he would’ve already caused them to collapse completely. What do you think, I only refused to cooperate with him in angering Retired Emperor, you know. Was it necessary for him to send so many people filling up the courtyard just to capture me?”
Even though she really shouldn’t have joined hands with the empress to maneuver against him.
However, that Third Prince also didn’t need to be so determined, right?
Could it be because these second generation royal descendants’ need to be in control was much stronger?
Just couldn’t stand other people resisting him?
Wei Wei simply couldn’t figure it out and just stopped thinking about it.
On the other hand, Yuan Ming stroked his chin as a streak of light sparked within his eyes. “Clearly, everything was progressing very well. Why would the ancient spirit beast fire qilin appear there.” Merely coming out to take a stroll? No matter how he thought about it, that was impossible.
It wasn’t just Yuan Ming who had misgivings, even Wei Wei became alerted in regards to the fire qilin’s appearance.
“Somebody wanted to tame it.” The white cat’s cold voice briefly dispelled their misgivings. “During this period of time, there continually have been people who entered Spirit Forest precisely in order to find it. Or maybe it could be said that they wanted to force it to come out.”
Yuan Ming smiled demonically. “A fire qilin is certainly not so easy to tame.”
“That’s right.” The white cat turned its head around and looked at the road behind it. “That’s why those people again and again return empty-handed. Probably, the fire qilin was provoked to anger, so that’s why it set fire to White Academy.”
Wei Wei raised her eyebrows. “Still, everything’s just too coincidental, isn’t it? It didn’t set fire to any other place except for the Superior Compound.”
“Because the person who wanted to tame it lived within the Superior Compound.” The white cat lifted its head up and thoughtfully glanced at Wei Wei. “It’s none other than that young lord from Murong Prince’s Mansion, Murong Chang Feng.”
Hearing this name, Yuan Ming also subconsciously turned towards Wei Wei and looked over as he softly coughed a couple of times.
Wei Wei actually didn’t hold back either as she curled her lips with irritation. “How come it didn’t burn him, that sc.u.m of a man who’s unable to accomplish anything but liable to spoil everything.”
Having no way of learning what the facts were, Wei Wei already pushed all of the blame on Murong Chang Feng.
At once, from the bottom of her heart, she maintained that if it weren’t for Murong Chang Feng wanting to tame the fire qilin, the fire qilin wouldn’t have suddenly appeared among them at the Superior Compound, spoiling all of her plans.
