“Devious?” The white-robed Baili Jia Jue turned to the side, his tone was mischievous as he placed the chess piece he held in his hand onto the chessboard. While Baili Jia Jue radiated the demeanor of an educated man but there was also an inexplicable hint of roguishness in him. Standing under the brilliant moonlight with a face so perfect that the earth and heavens were put to shame, he said, “You wish to capture me simply for this reason alone?”

Against such a man, the soldiers dared not advance.

Perhaps it was because of his very presence that emanated the aura of high authority that made the soldiers feel as though he was not just playing a game of chess, but instead, he was directing a war for his kingdom.

Moreover, under such a situation, there were probably very few people that would still be focused on chess.

How could this Private Advisor Long be so different?

The intense gaze of the pair of eyes sent a s.h.i.+ver down their spines…

Imperial Officer Zhang was dumbfounded by the sight of this. Once he finally came to his senses, the first sentence he said was, “You can defend yourself all you want later, but for now, you should come quietly, otherwise, don’t blame me if I don’t go easy on you! ”

“You don’t have to go hard on me,” Baili Jia Jue laughed, a cold undertone hidden in his mischief. In a flash, with incomparable clarity and grace, he said, “I will leave with you.”

At this moment, everyone doubted the functionality of their hearing.

What was this Private Advisor Long thinking of?

Was he really going to just allow himself to be taken away so easily without any resistance?

“If you can bear the consequences of it.” With these few words, the surrounding atmosphere turned silent.

Imperial Officer Zhang objected, “General Liao was right, you’re too arrogant for a private advisor. Lord Wei, you should really discipline your subordinates!”

Helian Wei Wei said nothing and merely looked up at Baili Jia Jue.

Baili Jia Jue nodded his head subtly in her direction.

Only then did Helian Wei Wei speak with a voice colder than ever before, her gaze so sharp that it could almost behead Imperial Officer Zhang’s head as she p.r.o.nounced each word in her reply, “Lord Zhang, you may arrest my private advisor, but if anyone lays punishment on him, I will make that person wish he was never born!”

Lord Zhang had never felt like this before, it was as if he had been eyed by a venomous snake, even his scalp felt numb.

He did not delay any further as he raised his hand and commanded, “Take him away!”

Helian Wei Wei clenched both fists before slowly relaxing them again. As she looked at the dignified silhouette amongst the group of people, she narrowed her eyes, “Yuan Xiaoming, what do you think of His Highness’ decision?”

“He let himself be captured,” Yuan Xiaoming said laughingly, “Your man’s actions are really getting more shameless.”

Unexpectedly, Helian Wei Wei laughed as well, her lips curving into a smile, “Shameless? Why do I think that it was just right?”

“You should worry about yourself for now. In this situation, being outside is even more terrifying than being in a prison cell. If the one named Liao arrested His Highness so fearlessly without even giving a reason, your t.i.tle as a magistrate is probably useless now. He’s willing to use any means possible to remove you from your position.” Yuan Xiaoming was a good judge of character and was even better at a.n.a.lyzing a situation.

Helian Wei Wei lowered her gaze downward mischievously, looking at the strip of paper that Baili Jia Jue had left for her in her palm. “It would be boring if nothing was done.”

“He even prepared this message for you. Just how big of a plot is that fellow laying down?” There was a tone of admiration in Whitey’s cold voice, “No wonder this human being can control a Fire Qilin.”
