To whom is she speaking?
Everyone exchanged bewildered glances.
Helian Jiao'er felt a sense of unease in her heart as she looked at the calm and composed Helian Weiwei.
Before Helian Jiao'er could say anything, a white mist emerged from Helian Weiwei's shoulders, gradually transforming into a white cat.
The students in the academy remained puzzled at the sight of the white cat, but the guards of the Bai Ze clan standing nearby widened their eyes in disbelief!
Qi Qi exclaimed, "Your Highness!? What? This kitten is actually the prince of the Bai Ze clan?"
"How is that possible?!" they exclaimed.
The cat appeared thin and small, lacking the appearance of being able to transform into a human form. It was hard to believe that it could be the prince of the Bai Ze clan.
Helian Mei, clearly skeptical, asked the chief guard, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"It can't be wrong!" The chief guard approached Helian Weiwei excitedly.
Helian Jiao'er wanted to intervene, but it was too late. The chief guard was already standing in front of Helian Weiwei, gazing at the white cat with sincere trepidation. He asked, "Your Highness, how did you end up like this? Your true identity has been revealed!"
The white cat surveyed the group and spoke in a cold voice, "Who authorized you to send troops? Who informed you that she was pursuing and attempting to kill Prince Ben? If it weren't for Wei Wei, I would have perished in the clutches of the demon beast. Yet, you allowed people to capture my Bai Ze clan's benefactor. It's simply foolish!"
The chief guard, disheartened by the scolding, did not dare to refute.
The revelation from the white cat completely dispelled any suspicion towards Helian Weiwei. Not only was she not a pursuer, but she had also protected the royal descendant of the Bai Ze clan.
This fact hit everyone like a slap to the face!
Helian Jiao'er felt dizzy and her face turned pale. She couldn't have imagined that their covert actions had inadvertently led Helian Weiwei to save the life of the prince of the cat tribe. Jing Wuwei was even more panicked, unsure how to face the questioning gazes directed at him.
"If Master Jing wants to absolve my sins, then do so," Helian Weiwei said nonchalantly. Despite wearing dirty and coarse clothing, with black ashes on her small face, she emitted an indescribable sense of oppression. "I, Helian Weiwei, happen to fulfill everyone's wish. Come down and accompany me, the Helian family's thousands of war souls!"
Her words stirred an uproar in the crowd.
No one expected Helian Weiwei to say something so resolute.
Even Net Hopeless, who had always tried to mediate, couldn't find any excuses this time.
She was asking him to absolve her of her crimes, clearly pressuring him!
As the acting dean of the college, one misstep could lead to his removal from the position. The elders of the four major families had recently managed to remove Tu Sufeng. Net Hopeless had seized the opportunity to rise in status. But now, with this turn of events, the royal family could easily find a reason to bring Tu Sufeng back. If Helian Weiwei continued to be unyielding, he could be accused of mistreating a student of the academy. Not only his position as acting dean, but even his prestigious title as the academy's master could be revoked!
This was what Murong Changfeng witnessed upon arrival. His gaze focused on the woman standing at the center of the crowd, sensing a touch of loneliness and stubbornness in her back.
His usually indifferent heart seemed to skip a beat.
However, it didn't affect his assessment of the situation.
Net Hopeless was a chess piece planted by Murong Wang Mansion in the Taibai Academy through a collaboration with the Su family over ten years ago.
Now that things were difficult, how could he allow himself to be caught in such a critical moment over such a trivial matter?
However, Jing Wu Hopeless found himself in a dilemma, unsure of how to respond. Whatever he said, it would be wrong. It was like holding a hot taro in his hands.
Helian Weiwei smiled faintly. This time, she would finally silence those who had mocked her throughout the years!
The atmosphere grew tense, and all the students seemed to be waiting for a resolution.
"Wei Wei, now that the truth has come to light, and the Third Highness is present, he will form his own judgment. Master Jing doesn't have the authority to make a decision," a calm and elegant voice interrupted the silence.
Helian Weiwei turned her gaze and saw Murong Changfeng standing behind her, his expression composed. His eyes briefly met Helian Jiao'er's and Jing Wu's before moving away. He maintained a neutral expression, shifting the pressure onto Jing Wu Hopeless with just a single sentence.
Helian Weiwei looked at him with heavy eyes. This was the second time he had cut off her escape route.
Murong Shizi's words held weight, and everyone naturally listened.
This was the intricate web of relationships among the upper class.
It seemed that the truth itself didn't matter. He had once sworn an oath in the main hall to treat her as his woman and never abandon her. Throughout the dynasty, everyone knew that Helian Weiwei was Murong Changfeng's future concubine. But instead of being her support, he had become a blade honed by time, stabbing her in the back and leaving her defenseless.
Everyone claimed she pursued him and was unworthy of him, but they conveniently forgot who had ascended to the Protector Mansion just to be with her. He had promised to show her the most beautiful scenery.
Yet now, he let go and allowed her to fall and bleed.
In his pursuit to consolidate his power, Murong Changfeng chose to protect Jing Wu and Helian Jiao'er and abandoned her...
Disdain and disgust flickered at the corners of Helian Weiwei's mouth.
However, Murong Changfeng misunderstood, thinking that she still held onto the past, and his gaze softened a bit as he looked at her.
Jing Wu Hopeless, realizing that Murong Changfeng was giving him an opportunity, spoke up. "Shizi is right. I am merely a martial arts instructor and have no authority to pass judgment. Let the Third Highness decide."
Upon hearing this, Helian Weiwei felt that the situation was hopeless. The members of the royal family were adept at feigning ignorance. In such a small matter, the Third Prince would naturally side with Jing Wu Hopeless, as he had his inner princess.
And the young masters and ladies of the noble families understood these rules best. No one would speak up for her.
Looking closely, she was alone in this fight...
Helian Weiwei's thoughts were interrupted as Baili Jia Jue dismounted from his horse. He appeared striking, with a silver mask covering his face, and his colorful attire accentuating his captivating presence. His deep black eyes held an enchanting allure...
