There were still some people who weren’t willing to believe this result, especially the ones who competed. If they lost to Helian Jiao Er, at least it would be comparatively easier for them to speak of the loss to others as it’d be easier to accept losing to her.

But losing to a good-for-nothing without martial qi…

Merely thinking about it made their hearts feel uncomfortable.

Helian Wei Wei certainly didn’t care whether they were comfortable with it or not as the corners of her mouth wore an indifferent smiling expression. Without paying attention to those gazes directed at her, she packed up some things and put away the treasure she just obtained, ‘Thousand Mechanism Umbrella’. She smugly changed her clothes and properly put on a disguise, then planned to go and collect her gambling winnings.

What could be more enjoyable than winning a compet.i.tion, and even making money in the process.

While Wei Wei was walking, she was cheerfully whistling.

The result!

“What did you say? Two million taels?” Wei Wei looked at the bill in her hand. The always tranquil and calm eyes now contained faint ripples. “Somebody bet ten thousand taels on me?” And even in gold? Just who in the world was so sick! Didn’t they know she was a good-for-nothing! And they even bet money on her! ! !

The person who managed the gambling joint nodded his head as his body shrunk backward.

Yuan Ming ‘haha’ roared in laughter. “Bet one, pay ten, girl, this time you really fell head first!”

Wei Wei narrowed her eyes as she stroked her chin. Her eyebrows lifted as she asked about the person from the one who managed the gambling joint. “Who was the person who bet on me, do you still remember?”

He nodded his head. “I remember. That person had a head of red hair, was dressed in the best fabrics, and was on the second floor drinking tea.”

“Second floor?” A trace of light flashed in Wei Wei’s pair of eyes as she picked up her umbrella, turned around, and was planning to go upstairs.

The person who managed the bets sighed as he said. “Boss, do you really plan on bringing all of this money to that person?”

“How’s that possible?” Wei Wei was completely flabbergasted as she looked at him. “Where did you get this misconception?”

The manager hiccuped. “Then what’re you walking there for?” Looking to be captured? !

“I’m going…to haggle.” Wei Wei curved her lips into a smile, overflowing with a hint of evil influence.

Phoenix House’s second story was famed to have top-notch private rooms. All of the eople who could stay here in the last hour were the most wealthy and respectable young masters within the capital.

According to the waiter, that person already sat in that private room for the last twelve hours. The things he asked for were only the most expensive items. It seemed that the other party’s influence wasn’t small…

However, Wei Wei indeed could not imagine that within Armament City, besides those two people who partnered with her, who else could have such huge financial resources.

Wei Wei looked at the twin wood doors before her eyes, and politely knocked on it.

Immediately, from within came a deep and low, magnetic voice. Separated by the wood door, it was somewhat in distinct. “Come in.”

Only two simple words, yet it resembled the clang of metal and cry of birds when a top-notch double-edged sword was unsheathing, containing the texture of metal, virtually ordering people to serve.

Wei Wei thought to herself, this person must be an expert at bossing people around. When she haggled (beat down the price) in a moment, she must take out every bit of lordliness she possessed, and directly suppress the other party!

One couldn’t help but say at this point that a dream may be plump and perfect, but reality was actually bony and lacking.

At the moment when Wei Wei, filled with confidence, pushed opened the wood door, the person was half leaning against the decorative wooden couch and just happened to look up.

He indifferently switched hands, his hair was as dark as black ink while the clothes were as white as snow. His slender fingers hung on the light cyan porcelain teapot lid, taking advantage of the steam rising in spirals at that moment. Separated by the hazy fog, he was indistinct as he glanced at Wei Wei.

As she was looked at, Wei Wei’s entire scalp became numb, as if she was dropped into the middle of a ten thousand year old ice house all of a sudden. In a flash, she already became frozen and sluggis.h.!.+

How could he be here?

Right now, the political situation was so chaotic. People from every clan were restless, wanting to get rid of the imperial clan all the time.

It’s not a bad idea for him to stay at the capital. Why would he run to Armament City without giving any notice. Was he not afraid he’d be met with an a.s.sa.s.sination!

Wait a minute!

It couldn’t be because he wanted to catch her that he came…

However, there’s nothing to worry about in regards to this matter. In any case, she already changed disguise. Even if Third Prince possessed magical power, it’d be impossible for him to recognize her with one glance.
