As for Helian Weiwei's response, it didn't come as a surprise to anyone. After all, Murong Changfeng, a prince with an esteemed family background, was a highly sought-after bachelor in the capital. It was widely known that Helian Weiwei had always wanted to marry him, so people didn't find it shocking when she reached out to pull Helian Jiao'er up.
However, at that moment, Helian Weiwei spoke again. Standing in the center of the courtyard, she appeared untouched by any makeup, her clothes fluttering in the wind. She looked directly at Murong Changfeng with unwavering eyes and spoke each word clearly, "However, I want to call off the marriage."
Her words were light, carried by the wind, but they struck the crowd like thunderbolts!
Everyone froze, their actions coming to a halt as they stared at Helian Weiwei in disbelief, their eyes filled with astonishment.
Helian Weiwei maintained her casual demeanor. "My second sister has always emphasized that I resent her because of Shizi. If that's the case, Shizi doesn't need to hide anymore. As long as Shizi agrees to call off the marriage, I will naturally fulfill your wish."
Murong Changfeng's jaw tightened, and his body stiffened. He stared at her, his eyes concealing waves of anger. This woman actually wanted...
Seeing that Murong Changfeng remained silent, Helian Weiwei met his gaze and mockingly laughed. "Since the son of the world is not speaking, I assume you agree."
If it weren't for Murong Changfeng's behavior today, she wouldn't have realized how troublesome this wedding date was. The marriage arranged by the Emperor Taishang couldn't be dissolved easily, even under special circumstances.
Since Murong Changfeng wanted to beg her on behalf of his beloved sister, she had to make him pay a price. Trading her forgiveness for her freedom in the future was a worthwhile deal!
"You... Good, good! Helian Weiwei, you are something else!" Murong Changfeng waved his sleeves, his profile cold like a statue emerging from an icy land.
When did Murong Changfeng become the one being rejected after being the one pursuing? Moreover, she even considered pushing him towards other women!
Anger surged within him, and if it weren't for the crowd watching, he would have strangled her with his own hands!
Wasn't it her who liked him? Now she was pushing him away once again...
Oh, did this woman really think he wouldn't deal with her?
Helian Weiwei frowned, not expecting Murong Changfeng to react this way. It was he who didn't want to become a family with her, right?
She hadn't forgotten that if it weren't for his letter, Helian Jiao'er and Helian Mei wouldn't have dared to beat her to near-death and throw her into the river. Although he wasn't the instigator, he never once helped her. From beginning to end, he watched her with cold eyes and disgust.
Such a man, even if rare in the world, was beneath her contempt!
"Huh?" Nangong Lie, who had just finished his divination test, reached out and touched his chin, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Helian Weiwei unexpectedly brought up the idea of calling off the marriage. Something is amiss, definitely!" Baili Jia Jue, still leaning against the flower tree, held a teacup close to his lips and sipped it slowly. The trembling branches seemed to quiet down.
"Ah Jue, aren't you curious why Helian Weiwei did this?" Nangong Lie tilted his head, deep in thought. "Based on my experience, she must have ulterior motives!" Yes, ulterior motives! I never thought this little kitten was so cunningly infatuated with Murong Changfeng. She doesn't even care about her own reputation for him..."
Nangong Lie abruptly stopped talking, not because of anything else, but due to the gaze of a certain man. His gaze was cold and heavy, as if brewing ice, and he turned slightly as if listening. One hand was casually inserted into his pocket, while the other gently clasped the white porcelain teacup. Though his posture seemed lazy, his actions conveyed extreme danger...
Nangong Lie coughed softly, lowering his head.
Baili Jia Jue glanced at him, his eyes clouded with a dense fog. His fingers tightened around the teacup, and his emotions were indecipherable. "Croak."
Just those two words made Nangong Lie's face stiffen. "Hey, hey, you come back here and explain to me who's making a fuss! I'm here to analyze things for you... First of all, you can't do that! I can talk to you!" Baili Jia Jue didn't pay him any further attention. He tightened his grip on the teacup, and with a slight force...
Nangong Lie touched the bridge of his nose, wanting to follow, but then he heard a loud bang. It sounded like a powerful impact, and the tree behind him collapsed with a crash, shaking off a thin layer of dust.
Upon seeing this, Nangong Lie decided against moving forward, turning his back and starting to ponder who had provoked His Royal Highness...
Meanwhile, the people standing in the center of the courtyard were dumbfounded by Helian Weiwei's unexpected actions and words, one after another.
Only Helian Jiao'er, her eyes filled with malice, glared at Helian Weiwei and wanted to help Helian Mei leave.
At that moment, Helian Weiwei smiled softly and spoke, "Sisters, it seems you've forgotten something."
"Helian Weiwei, I warn you not to go too far!" Helian Mei's usually hot-tempered nature had already been stretched to its limit. She could no longer contain her anger, especially after Helian Weiwei's words.
Helian Weiwei looked at her and curled her thin lips wickedly. "Do you know why I finally found evidence of your involvement? I wanted to see how far you would go to frame me. I never expected that even after everything came to light, my sister could still be so righteous. Who gave you such audacity? Was it Daddy, or these masters who spoke on your behalf? Well, I, Helian Weiwei, make this declaration today: even if my grandfather passed away, and the Helian family changed hands, and I am left all alone, no one will be able to escape without offering an apology after framing me! Even if there are countless masters and powers protecting the person behind you, I will reclaim the justice I deserve!"
Her voice rang out clearly and piercingly, echoing throughout the Nine Revolutions Academy, lingering in the air!
It felt like a slap across everyone's faces.
Not just Helian Mei and Helian Jiao'er, but also those masters who had slandered her!
A cold wind blew, causing Helian Weiwei to raise her head. Her ink-black hair danced in the wind, and her sleeves billowed.
The Supreme Master watched this scene, his eyes slightly reddened, but a smile played on his lips.
This kid is truly clever, what a retreat!
Well said, reclaiming the justice she deserves!
Over the years, how much injustice had his talented apprentice suffered?
Tu Sufeng looked at Helian Weiwei standing before him. Even in the palace, he had never seen a girl like her. She possessed the resilience of her mother, yet she was even more determined and clear-minded.
Initially, he had felt sorry for the Helian family, thinking that their legacy would be relinquished so easily.
But now, Tu Sufeng gently curved his thin lips. Perhaps this little girl would be the only variable in all of this...
