“No need.” Helian Wei Wei touched her wrist and smiled with little care: “I can handle it myself, don’t worry. The auction is about to start, you all should go to sit in the places I have reserved. I need to deal with another matter first.”

Chen Yifeng felt uneasy about it. However, Manager Zhang has already politely led them away.

Upstairs in the teahouse, Eunuch Sun reported back Helian Wei Wei’s message to the Grand Emperor. The Grand Emperor was sat back in his original place, watching the screaming Official Li, and had lost all interest in the auction. With a wave of his hand, he left Baili Jia Jue to take care of matter, and left for the palace with the guards. Official Li breathed a sigh of relief and figured that since the Grand Master did not say anything more, the matter today was over.

However, he had forgotten that if was up to his Highness, there would only be two situations. One, his Highness would have completely no interest whatsoever, the Official Li can praise his ancestors and burn them incense as an offering. The other situation would be that his Highness was very interested in the matter, then it is still congratulatory as there are not many matters that his Highness would take an interest in. The result would be to go and join his ancestors immediately.

Sure enough, just as Eunuch Sun thought.

The cold and clear voice of Baili Jia Jue rang out: “Behead him, take him elsewhere to do it, don’t get blood everywhere. It’s dirty.”

“Yes.”

Their shadows were like ghosts, Official Li and his son never had the chance to say a word and were dragged out of the teahouse. The rest of the officials present were stunned and immediately converged their hands and feet.

Baili Jia Jue was still sat at the main table, he looked up and said: “And the Wu family.”

“Wu family?” Someone spoke up puzzled, whispers, the Wu family did not speak so how did they offend the Third Prince?

Baili Jia Jue laughed coldy: “How he broke his leg, I think I know better than you all do. He was dishonest in the military. Upon his discharge from the military he dares to dream of taking a wife. He should have known better than to make this mistake. Castrate him and throw him in jail.”

Eunuch Sun: “….” He thought the matter had blown over, but it seemed his Highness had not forgotten.

Some of the people found this matter strange, the Grand Emperor never used to have an entourage accompany him when he attended. But this year, the Murong family, Yuan family and their subordinates Li and Wu family all received the order to accompany him at the last minute. Come to think of it now, this was all an illusion, it was set up.

However, this did not seem like something that the Grand Emperor would do. If he wanted to behead someone, he usually just gave the order. He wouldn’t use such an unscrupulous method. Who was the mastermind of this scheme? The rest of them who were left, the Murong and Wu clan were puzzled and felt a deep unease in their hearts. The whole time Baili Jia Jue had held on to the teacup, with an expression of indifference in his face.

Eunuch Sun looked at his master, it seemed like those who have fallen today, were the people who have angered Eldest Miss at the White Academy.

No, no it couldn’t be!

Could it be that the rage of the crown? Eunuch Sun choked at his own thoughts and could not stop coughing. This was an appropriate thought about his Highness.

Although, was this not a bit too late? Eunuch Sun face looked at Baili Jia Jue questioningly.

Baili Jia Jue raised his eyebrows, his voice light: “It takes time to get rid of the roots.”

Eunuch Sun: Really, it really was the rage of the crown?

So his Highness’s feelings for Eldest Miss…

Before he could speak, Baili Jia Jue stood up holding a pair of peach blossoms and his looked outside. Shadow instructed: “Go and find out which seat she has reserved for herself.”

“Yes.” And disappeared into the auction house.

Night was slowly approaching. The auction officially started.

However, after his meticulous plan to go on a date in secret, Master Hei saw the person beside him and said: “How is it you?”

“Why would it not be me?” Helian Wei Wei swayed the wine glass in her hand and chuckled: ” Hey, isn’t this is a great place, for a couple to come and talk about love.”

Hei Ze’s eyebrows creased and felt that the question had to be explained: “Hey, listen to me Wei Wei. Although I admire you, I have no feelings for you whatsoever.”

Helian Wei Wei’s smile froze, as if insulted: “Then why did you say you will marry me?”

“That was because…” Hei Ze tugged at his long hair, and felt sudden remorse. It was not an easy task that he was able to sneak out under the watchful eyes of his father today. It was all so he could spend time with that silly girl. So how did he meet Wei Wei instead?

Besides, he doubted that she had feelings for him previously. So how was it that today… Was it possible that the hints that he gave previously were too obvious?

Hei Ze felt deep remorse in his heart, but he was afraid that he would hurt Helian Wei Wei’s feelings were he to be honest with her. He thought for a long time but could not say it.

Helian Wei Wei had a trick up her sleeve. She tilted her head to one side and made a noise like she was weeping: “So you have been lying to me all this while, and to think my feelings for you were sincere.”

Hei Ze was stunned. All this time he had known Helian Wei Wei, she was always calm and collected. He had never seen her cry.

“I, I, I…” Hei Ze sat down dejectedly and put his hand on her hair: ” I am a bastard.”

He had intended come clean to her. However, this scenario looked to bystanders like a couple who had just had an argument and made up.

Eunuch Sun snorted, turned around and headed back.

The silver mask of expression on Baili Jia Jue’s face looked even colder than ever. His eyebrows creased as he frowned slightly, his ivory fingers tightly gripped onto the peach blossoms he had intended to give to Helian Wei Wei. The cold beauty he exhibited could not mask the feeling of destruction he felt. At that moment, the air around him was so cold that even his laugh made people shiver.

Through the noisy crowd, Baili Jia Jue watched as his prey, she who was supposed to be with him was talking about love with another man. Because of this, Baili Jia Jue’s heart was in shock, sorrow spread through him that he could not explain. Was he going to lose his martial qi again?

Oh, so what.

Perhaps, after his prey and her beloved have reconciled, she would have forgotten the contract between them and run away again like before. This series of events played over in his head again and again, and reminded Baili Jia Jue – the prey that he wanted did not belong to him.
