Finding the Wrong Person

"The first handsome man... Li Feng couldn't help but think of the one in the palace. It was rumored that His Royal Highness would also return to Taibai Academy this year. I wonder what his face looks like without the mask? Was it disfigured by the fire, or is he still handsome? Only the Supreme Master and Dean Tu Su know about this matter. Apart from the Emperor Taishang, only these two have seen the adult appearance of that highness. Well, maybe the High Priest knows as well, but it seems the High Priest is still in seclusion and won't come here at all. Otherwise, with the looks and temperament of those two, it would definitely cause a stir in Taibai Academy...

"In any case, don't worry, my excellent apprentice, who would dare to say they don't like you!" The old man said confidently, his face exuding dominance and might.

Li Feng coughed lightly, trying to interject, "That Highness, he not only dares to say it, but he also dares to act on it, like kicking you away. Did the master forget?"

"You!" The Supreme turned around, wondering what happened to Li Feng. Today, he will dismantle the old man's facade!

"Who is this Highness?" Helian Weiwei raised an eyebrow.

Leaning closer to her ear, the Supreme whispered, "He is the Third Highness, and he will also join Taibai Academy this year. That kid is cunning, and his spirit of revenge is still strong. Apprentice, if you ever come across a man wearing a mask, you must stay away!"

"Hmm," Helian Weiwei replied nonchalantly.

Little did the Supreme know that his apprentice had already offended that person in the most deadly way possible.

Helian Weiwei didn't dwell on the issue. Since entering Taibai Academy, she hadn't encountered any masked men. However, there was one thing she needed to instruct the Supreme about. "Master, don't tell others that you have accepted me as your apprentice."

"Why?" The Supreme's eyes widened. He had finally accepted a beginner disciple, and he wanted to show Tutian and the others!

Helian Weiwei smirked, "It's more interesting if the enemy is unaware of our connection. Besides... you only need to teach me, I can handle the rest myself."

The Supreme hesitated for a moment, then shook his head like a child. "Nope! The old man doesn't agree! I still want to teach that Murong boy a lesson!"

Helian Weiwei knew that the old man meant well, so she coaxed him with a chuckle, "Master, Taibai Academy has many people, and you are a respected master here. If people find out that you have taken in a useless disciple like me, they might laugh at you."

"Who dares!" The Supreme turned around and roared, "Li Feng, tell me, who dares to laugh at my apprentice!"

Li Feng wiped his cold sweat and didn't dare to utter a word. He knew the master was truly furious this time.

Helian Weiwei touched her nose and said, "Then let's wait until a month later."

"A month?" The Supreme's eyes lit up. "Apprentice, are you referring to the first test after admission?"

"Yes," Helian Weiwei said, her eyes shining with determination. "I want everyone to know that I, Helian Weiwei, am not a useless person or a flower vase."

The Supreme looked at her, momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter. "Haha, good, good apprentice! Let them all see that my apprentice is not only skilled in martial arts but also capable of defeating others!"

Li Feng was not as optimistic as the Supreme. He hadn't forgotten about Helian Weiwei's previous test results, where her martial qi was nearly nonexistent. Even if she was a martial arts genius, it couldn't change the fact that her qualifications were quite low. With so many talented individuals in Taibai Academy, he was genuinely concerned about how Helian Weiwei would perform in a month.

It was nighttime, with the moon hanging high and casting shadows from the swaying trees.

In the eastern area of the academy, there was a courtyard known as the gathering place for geniuses, inhabited by famous young ladies and masters from prominent families. If someone were to intrude, it would attract the attention of all the new students. And in this case, two people entered at once.

"Ah Jue, this is the place." Nangong Lie grinned mischievously and casually pressed his foot against the wooden door in front of them. "I'll help you find out. That girl lives in this room!"

Helian Jia Jue smirked, his lips thin. He bit the gloves on his left hand, and his flawlessly handsome face took on a cold allure under the moonlight. "Very well." And then...

With a loud bang, he put his hands into his silver trench coat and kicked open the wooden door!

Nangong Lie quickly jumped to the side, stretching his neck and shouting, "Ah Jue, damn it! Next time you kick the door, can you give me a warning? You're so unpredictable!"

Ignoring Nangong Lie, Helian Jia Jue walked slowly into the antique room, causing all the famous girls and young masters to stop what they were doing and look at him.

But his gaze didn't linger, and he continued into the inner room with a graceful posture...

"Isn't he the young master who just entered the academy today?"

"Oh my god, why is he here? Is he here to find Jiao'er?"

"Jiao'er is truly amazing. Even someone like him knows about her."

The girls huddled together, their cheeks slightly flushed as they gazed at Baili Jia Jue's departing figure. It seemed like their eyes could radiate light.

Such a majestic man, even without saying a word, just raising an eyebrow could make their hearts beat faster.

His words, his gestures, his unmatched elegance, it all spoke of strategic brilliance and victory from a thousand miles away.

"Gongzi?" Helian Jiao'er raised her head in surprise, her heart filled with joy. However, she didn't show it openly. After all, there were many young ladies present, and she had to maintain her composure. She looked at the man's cold face and blushed, whispering, "Did you come here for something?"

Baili Jia Jue didn't speak, but upon seeing the woman's face, he furrowed his brows and then turned around, leaving quickly!

"Hey? Ah Jue, why did you come out so soon!? Nangong Lie, who was still charming the girls outside, wore a surprised smile when he saw his friend. "No, is that kitten not able to satisfy you? Baili Jia Jue raised his eyes coldly, his chin slightly raised, his perfect features oozing with an icy aura. "It's not her."

"What?" Nangong Lie's previous playful smile turned serious as he followed his friend into the room and looked at Helian Jiao'er's delicate face. His narrow eyes were filled with astonishment!
