The night was getting darker.
At this moment, even Yun Biluo who was outside the academy sensed that something was not right. After getting rid of the guards barehanded, only then did she know that the Third Prince had taken Murong Hongtu away.
“What should we do now? We have not completed our mission.” Sweat beaded the foreheads of the other two young masters. They had been running to and fro but ended up in vain.
Yun Biluo thought for a second and came to a conclusion, “Our time is short, the involvement of the Third Prince this time was beyond our expectation, I’m sure that the dean didn’t expect this as well. Since what’s done is done, I guess we have no choice but to go back first.”
“Go back empty-handed? How are we supposed to explain ourselves when we’re back?”
Yun Biluo shot both of them a look. “Who says we are empty-handed? Murong Hongtu is not here for the auction, but to meet up with somebody. The people whom he met are not just any Tom, d.i.c.k or Harry but wealthy and reputable traders, not to mention they met up in secrecy, which means that they must be hiding something. As long as we reveal this to the board, then our mission will be considered complete.”
“Oh yeah, why this didn’t cross my mind!” That young master’s eyes lit up, “Miss Yun, you’re indeed a meticulous person. Currently, only the three of us know of this information, as for the rest, just forget about them, especially that Helian Wei Wei. There’s nothing she could do about it, I bet she got no news at all and she will definitely be the last on the list!”
Smiling gracefully, Yun Biluo s.h.i.+fted her gaze to the darkening night before speaking at a slow pace, “Since everyone feels like this is a good idea, then let’s head back now as our time is almost up.”
Two of them had no objection for sure, but what they did not know was that the one who they thought would be the last, had already made her way to the Underground Palace.
However, she was caught in an unfavorable situation.
Flickers of candle flames were swaying in the middle of the hall.
The man sitting opposite to Helian Wei Wei placed his cup down, a trace of a hideous smile lingered at the corner of his mouth upon seeing Helian Wei Wei’s empty cup. That kind of smile was spooky enough to send chills down one’s spine.
Helian Wei Wei remained still, her eyebrows knitted together.
She heard him saying, “The thing is, even though you’ve won, you can’t live to enjoy it.”
Right after his voice sank in, Helian Wei Wei’s fingers twitched for a moment and as her neck went weak, the tea in her cup was accidentally spilled over.
In an unhurried pace, the man put the cup in his hand down upon seeing this, “Are your hands and feet cold? Do you feel your head aching slightly? Well, do enjoy the poison inside the tea, my dear.”
As he spoke, he packed his stuff and prepared to leave.
“Are you sure you’re able to leave?” To his surprise, Helian Wei Wei still managed to lift her head up!
Helian Wei Wei continued, “Aren’t you supposed to be the one having cold hands and feet along with a headache?”
