"Dean of the White Academy, Tu Sufeng." Helian Wei Wei lowered her tone, as if it was settled there and then.
Yuan Ming touched his chin and said, "Woman, you should never say any of this to the others. Be careful that people might regard you as a weirdo and try to eliminate you if they find out about your inner thoughts."
"I know this even without you telling me." Helian Wei Wei flicked the weed in her hand and said, "We can go now, but the timing for us to approach the dean has yet to come. The key is to think about ways that would make him admit it himself."
Yuan Ming raised his eyebrows, "Woman, I noticed that you aren't flustered at all. Will you not be sad if the Third Prince is really like what Murong Changfeng said?"
Helian Wei Wei stopped walking. She stood against the light as her hair swayed in the air."When I was little, someone told me not to depend on others because I will become vulnerable."
"Oh?" Yuan Ming smiled, "I like someone who can say things like this."
Helian Wei Wei smiled, and criticised him with what he said before, "Forget about it, things won't end well for human-devil relationships. Besides, he is straight, so he will never be interested in you."
Yuan Ming glared at her, "Woman, please don't tell me that you have another lover unknown to the Third Prince. You sound like you are reluctant to let him go."
"Oh no, what should I do, you got it right." Helian Wei Wei joked and walked toward the Inferior Compound. Indeed, she was unaffected, she was always like this, dauntless.
In this world, no one could really feel the exact same pain as the other person.
You are on your own even if you are in so much pain that you wished you were dead.
People might feel pitiful and mourn, but they will never know to what extent had your wound festered.
Perhaps, there might really be that one person in the world, that he would rather take the pain for you when you are having menstrual pain.
But unfortunately, she never met someone as such.
So it did not matter whether she was sad or not.
Only then can she go into battle in the turmoil and chaos of war without any burden...
However, she couldn't be carefree when she was going through menstruation. Helian Wei Wei quickly returned to the Inferior Compound and laid down on her bed, with a layer of thick blanket covered on her.
This was what Qing Zhan saw when she returned. She quickly asked Helian Wei Wei whether anything happened to her.
Helian Wei Wei sat up while hugging her blanket and waved her hand, "Is it time for dinner?"
"Yes." Qing Zhan looked at Helian Wei Wei's pale face and said, "I'll go and get His Highness."
Helian Wei Wei dragged the blanket closer to her casually and said, "What can His Highness do? He is not a doctor. Also, it is not suitable for a doctor to treat me too. The dining canteen must have run out of food by this time. Let's go to the Trading Compound and drink a bowl of hot soup there."
Qing Zhan retracted her leg and looked at Helian Wei Wei's facial expression. She looked absent-minded as she was thinking about Yun Biluo.
She was so deep into her thoughts that Helian Wei Wei called her thrice but she did not hear her.
Helian Wei Wei looked helpless. She held out a hand and waved in front of her eyes.
Qing Zhan went blank, "Princess consort."
"You've finally collected your wits." Helian Wei Wei pointed at the door frame in front of her and said, "Better be careful when you are walking so you can avoid the danger of disfiguring yourself."
Qing Zhan paused and replied, "Yes."
Helian Wei Wei yawned and her gaze slowly stopped on her, "If you are acting abnormally because of that Miss Yun who suddenly appeared today, you can save the fuss."
Qing Zhan never thought that she would hear the words "Miss Yun" from Helian Wei Wei's mouth!
She lifted her eyes in shock.
The princess consort already knows?
What does she know? To what extent?
Qing Zhan couldn't help but to admit that she panicked at that moment.
So...
"Princess consort, do not be too bothered by my elder sister. She is the past. Since His Highness chose you, he must have his own reasons." Qing Zhan's voice was calm. She was trying to say it calmly but she sounded slightly unconfident at the end.
Helian Wei Wei raised her brows and she suddenly smiled, "Seems like you have a pretty good relationship with her."
Qing Zhan did not see the depth in that smile. She was only thinking about the way she should utter her words to minimise the damage, "We were all death knights who followed His Highness around. Elder sister was already here when I entered the palace that year. She was the death knight who was protecting His Highness for the longest period of time. As the maid who took care of His Highness since he was a child, she knew a lot more than any of us on His Highness' habits and attitudes. His Highness also..." Qing Zhan paused and said, "His Highness had been treating her well too, but a fire destroyed everything. His Highness was badly injured. Everything changed after he woke up. Elder sister went missing and His Highness lost his martial Qi. Everyone was so emotional and grieved. We all thought that elder sister was dead but unexpectedly, she was still alive all this while. The only reason she didn't come back was because the Retired Emperor did not agree with her relationship with His Highness, so he never wanted to let her come back."
Helian Wei Wei was shocked, "So she was a death knight and she even had a relationship with Baili Jia Jue."
Qing Zhan went blank, "Princess consort, you didn't know?"
"Now I know." Helian Wei Wei looked at her with a smile on her face, "Thank you, Qing Zhan. It was very clear and precise."
"But, but just now..." Qing Zhan stuttered. She felt like she was tricked into talking. She thought that the princess consort knew everything or else why would she mention Miss Yun all of a sudden!
Helian Wei Wei was innocent, "I was guessing that you most probably knew Miss Yun, because the way you looked at her wasn't right. Whereas the other stories, I'll just take them as rumors."
Rumors... so that's it?
Qing Zhan lifted her head and looked at Helian Wei Wei's face from time to time. She noticed that there were no changes in her expression whatsoever.
Qing Zhan was confused. Don't tell me that Helian Wei Wei is so fond of His Highness that she couldn't even notice the underlying meaning of my words.
Qing Zhan thought that she really should say it out under such circumstances, "Princess consort, elder sister is different from the others, she..."
"She is the one that His Highness cherishes the most." Helian Wei Wei interrupted steadily, "So who do you want to follow now? Do you want to leave and find her, or stay?"
Qing Zhan went blank again.
Helian Wei Wei moved her finger and black feathers fell down. There was a stretched out sky under the feather.
She was holding the umbrella as raindrops fell on the ground by her foot occasionally. A mute flower bloomed.
She said, "If this was a battle, go find her. You can stay smart, affluent and not be tainted with blood for the rest of your life. You can't get those if you follow me, because every second that you are standing at where you are standing now, there will be someone who will come and attack you. I do not have three heads and six arms, my ability is limited. So I am destined to be tainted by blood. But Qing Zhan, can you believe this? I can show you a world that you have never seen before."
