Originally, it was very difficult for Helian Wei Wei to leave White Academy. Firstly, it was because she had no right. Secondly, after she was driven out by her family, those nobles of the other families had all looked down and despised her. In addition to all that, her master was not around lately so if she wanted to apply for some time off, she had to write down every single little detail for it.
However, now, it was no longer the same. The permit she had in her hand right now was won from the competition that her compound had won and no one would question her on where she was going or what was she going to do.
That was why this time round after she returned to White Academy, Helian Wei Wei did not go to the classroom and made everybody think that she was affected greatly.
After all, for one that only knew armaments but did not know anything on martial qi would be be really embarrassed if she went to class at such a time.
Some people even suspected that she could not understand what the teachers were teaching, that was why she had voluntarily given up on attending the classes, lest they could not help her during practice.
After hearing this news, Helian Jiao Er sneered, "She does know herself at least." She then instructed the servant girl: "There is no longer any need to find out about that slut in the future. Mother was right, it was me who saw the world too narrow and I even got into a fight with that ugly woman. It is simply below me and pulling down my taste. Leave her be, let her put together all those scrap metals and dream. No matter how well she does it, she can't sell a single piece and can't participate in the Martial Qi Competition. Go and see when would Mother be back and help me check on the situation over at Profound Heaven."
"Yes!" The servant girl saw that her Miss was in a good mood and she also relaxed her attitude as she asked, "Does Miss intend to get an armament from Profound Heaven?"
Helian Jiao Er replied with a 'mmm' as she tilted her head up in arrogance: "Father has already helped me pulled some connections, now all we need to do is to wait for Mother to come back."
The servant girl took the opportunity to say, "Miss is really amazing! Slaves heard that armaments from Profound Heaven are really hard to get, out of all the other ladies in the capital, only a few are able to get their hands on it."
"The contacts that Father has are naturally not weak." She glanced at the servant girl and continued, "Not to mention, those that only depend on their family to try to make a name for themselves, how could the likes of them compare to me?"
The servant girl was beaming as she replied with enthusiasm: "What Miss means it that once the owner of Profound Heaven hears of your name and reputation, and know that he had offended you during the Armament Competition, he would want to give you an armament to make up for it."
"Such talk should only be spoken in front of me, don't say anything unnecessary in front of others." Although she had said it sternly as if she was reprimanding, Helian Jiao Er's face was filled with pride and complacency.
The servant girl immediately replied:" Please rest assured Miss, I know that those people outside are all jealous of you. I won't say such things to them, if we were to meet anyone that's like Eldest Miss, that would stir up another storm."
"As long as you understand." Helian Jiao Er leaned back and laid on the sandalwood chair. It was as if she had already had her hands on the armament from Profound Heaven.
The servant girl smiled and bowed down to serve her a cup of tea.
Her heart was relieved, thinking that her lady was finally back to normal. During this time, because of Eldest Miss, her lady had been very temperamental and the ones who suffered in the end were them, the servants.
However, why did Eldest Miss like to always offend her lady? Now that after a major thing has happened, everything reverted back to what it was and most probably knowing that her own martial qi was bad, that was why she had found somewhere to hole herself in.
As she was thinking, the servant girl also paid attention to Helian Jiao Er and when she saw that she seemed to have drifted off to sleep, she gently put the fan down and dozed off shortly.
However, they did not know that at this very moment....
Helian Wei Wei was seated on the second level of Profound Heaven, dressed in a man's attire, with one hand holding a paper umbrella and the attendant that was assisting her was distressed.
"Dear customer, our manager is not in today, we do not know what time he would be back. Would you like to come back another day?" The attendant that was doing odd jobs was still very courteous and polite, his tone calm and gentle. This was the first rule that she had stipulated when hiring. The first thing that she emphasized on was customer service. No matter what skills they had, the first thing she looked out for was their attitude. That was why business of Profound Heaven was so prosperous, it wasn't without any reason.
Helian Wei Wei turned around, looked at the attendant and hooked her lips up slightly as she said, "I'll wait for awhile longer."
The attendant was slightly taken aback, it was obvious he had been stunned by the person in front. He had never seen anyone so gorgeous before.
Helian Wei Wei recovered her smile at this time. She was wearing a robe that had flowing gold clouds and her hair was lazily tugged behind her ears, black and seductive. Although she wasn't dressed very neatly, however her posture was elegant and she exuded a charm that was like the enchanting moon.
Under the glow of the golden sun, her entire being seemed to be aglow and for a moment there, the attendant even thought that he had seen a deity from heaven and he felt confused and lost as he stood there in stupor. His thoughts even trailed off as he started to think which family did this lady come from. Who gave birth to such a stunning person that could bring down nations?
That's right, Helian Wei Wei was currently wearing man's attire.
However, the clever attendant saw through her gender and the more puzzling thing was that he knew quite a number of influential people in the capital. Yet he had never seen anyone more outstanding than this person in front of him.
The odd thing was that he couldn't place her in his mind and no one has mentioned such a person in the capital as well.
The attendant was bewildered as he saw the carriages of the four managers stop at the front of the store.
He was immediately shocked. The usual management of the store required only one or two managers, how did four of them appear together today?
Unless... their Second Boss was coming?
But that wasn't right either, their Second Boss just by the day before and even left a message that because his Father was strict on his control, forcing him to get married and seeing that he was always out, he even suspected that he had stirred up some flowers from outside so he had him stay home and he would only be out two days later.
So what happened that had four of the managers to come?
The attendant kept thinking and no longer cared that there was a guest in front of him as he straightened his collar and rushed down in a hurry.
However, before he could even speak, the manager asked him, "Is there anyone that came to look for me today?"
"Yes." He answered immediately, as he followed their gazes as they searched left and right."Where is that person?" The strange thing was that the usually calm and collected manager was very flustered at this moment.
The attendant pointed up and said, "That customer is still waiting on the second floor."
"Second floor?" He opened his mouth in shock, "How could you arrange for that person to go to the second level?"
