“You wanted to oppress me with your status, I heard you loud and clear.” Baili Jia Jue’s apathetic tone was imposing and impossible to defy. “Also, who were you referring to as profligate and unchaste?”

As he finished his question, he raised his long, narrow eyes, permeating with ice-cold intimidation.

Helian Jiao Er froze in fear. She had never seen the Third Prince’s appearance as a grown-up.

She barely recovered from the incident when she merely saw his back in the palace many years ago.

Now, she could finally witness his true appearance, but she dared not even have a peek.

She glanced repeatedly at Yun Biluo, hoping that she would plead for her mercy.

Mother once told me, the Third Prince will surely take heed to anything that Yun Biluo says!

Unbeknownst to Helian Jiao Er, the ‘Golden Card of Immunity’ she supposedly wielded had been chased away by Baili Jia Jue just moments ago.

Meanwhile, Murong Changfeng who was hurrying over from afar, covertly smirked as he watched the scene unfolded.

This unexpected revelation of ident.i.ty caught him a little off guard.

However, this was by no means a negative turn of events.

Father spent all that effort in enrolling Yun Biluo in the White Academy, all for her to encounter Baili Jia Jue as soon as possible.

He had wanted to spread the news to the palace so that the Retired Emperor would find out.

However, there was no need to worry about it anymore. Who would have known that Baili Jia Jue had been in White Academy all along?

This was the most optimal outcome he could wish for. Helian Wei Wei could surely discover that she was no more than a disposable p.a.w.n to that man.

“I am asking you a question. Why are you looking at the others instead?” Baili Jia Jue’s voice rang again.

Helian Jiao Er steeled herself and responded, “It’s my fault for misunderstanding the situation and falsely accusing Elder Sister… I merely a.s.sumed Your Highness would like to chat with Sister Yun after being separated from her for so long. Did Elder Sister not inform you of Sister Yun’s return? They have already met a number of times.”

Helian Jiao Er believed whole-heartedly she would be able to escape from her destiny as long as she could s.h.i.+ft the topic of discussion.

Indeed, Baili Jia Jue did not let her down. He glanced curtly at the shadow guards, smiling inconceivably. This curiously sent a chill down their spines.

“You’ve met each other before this?” Baili Jia Jue seemed slightly nonchalant as he directed this question to Helian Wei Wei.

“Yes.” There was no need to conceal the fact, but Helian Wei Wei could not quite understand what was going on in Bali Jia Jue’s mind…

Helian Jiao Er’s eyes glinted when she saw the exchange, and added, “Elder Sister probably hid the fact from Your Highness because she was worried that Your Highness will be distracted after hearing about Sister Yun’s return. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have that music compet.i.tion with Sister Yun in the tea house last time.”

Baili Jia Jue turned his head around as a cryptic sneer shadowed upon his lips. “They even had a music compet.i.tion? I suppose she has arrived at the White Academy for quite a while now.”

“It’s true, Sister Yun has been here for quite a while.” Helian Jiao Er concluded that the earlier it seemed, the slier Helian Wei Wei would appear to be.

Yun Biluo quietly listened to the exchange. She was convinced that His Highness constantly shunned her because of the past between them.

He must have really cared about my return…

Otherwise, he would not have such a lengthy conversation with Helian Jiao Er.

Yun Biluo inevitably felt hurt when she recalled what had happened. She glared at Baili Jia Jue, tears drenching her eyes.
