His Highness Pretended Again

Outside Taibai Academy, Su Jiacheng and Helian Guangyao hurriedly arrived upon hearing the news of Helian Jiao'er's humiliation.

"Grandpa, Daddy, I can't tolerate that useless girl any longer!" Helian Jiao'er's patience had reached its limit, and her eyes glared viciously towards a corner of the room. "I want her expelled from the Helian clan!"

Su Jiacheng listened to his granddaughter's words and responded, "The old man used to believe that a useless person couldn't cause any trouble, but I never expected that she would unintentionally disrupt the relationships I've been managing for so many years!" Since she's so ruthless, let her face the consequences. Guangyao, you take care of this matter. The other ambitious individuals in the Helian family probably don't want a useless person like her around, so tie up the loose ends.

Helian Guangyao nodded, but his cunning nature led him to have a doubt. "How did that illegitimate child and the third prince escape from a dangerous place like the Spirit Realm Forest, despite their lack of martial arts skills? Could it be that the illegitimate child is hiding something from us?"

"What can she possibly do!" Helian Mei covered her injured forehead and exclaimed with disdain, "She was merely lucky to save the prince of the Bai Ze clan and get the family out of the forest. Otherwise, with her mediocre skills, she would have perished in the Spirit Realm Forest long ago!"

"Mei'er, mind your tone and remember your status!" Helian Guangyao's anger towards her had been building up for some time. Today, he lost face in court because of his daughter. Now the entire capital knows that Helian Guangyao has a bastard child. "You've made no progress all these years, and today, you embarrassed yourself at the academy. If you continue to cause trouble for your second sister, I'll write a letter to the dean and have you expelled. Then you can marry someone if you have no sense left!" Helian Mei was scolded, and she didn't dare to retort. Everyone knew that a woman expelled from the academy would have no prospects in the capital, unless she married some elderly man in his seventies or eighties. How could she, who had always been arrogant, tolerate that?

Just the thought of that scenario made her feel sick!

Usually, Helian Jiao'er would have spoken up for her by now, but today, Helian Jiao'er sat quietly on the side, sipping tea without any reaction. Boredom had already filled the corners of her eyes as she observed Helian Mei's immeasurable stupidity.

Helian Mei didn't notice and only wanted to calm Helian Guangyao's anger.

No one noticed that Helian Weiwei had already achieved initial success in her plan for today, the main objective she wanted to accomplish.

To dismantle an organization, you must first sow division from within!

Although Helian Weiwei didn't witness this scene in the carriage, nobody would dare to place an "untrustworthy" element near her, as she knew all their secrets.

Previously, when Helian Mei and Helian Jiao'er lived together in the Protector Mansion, they were insignificant, but now they both attended Taibai Academy.

All their contradictions would gradually surface.

One lived a luxurious life, doted on by thousands of people, while the other, although not suffering, received far less favorable treatment.

Helian Mei was not an easy person to deal with, so it was no surprise that she was jealous of Helian Jiao'er.

And Helian Jiao'er, unaware of the danger, would soon realize that having a sister who "knows" all her secrets was not a good thing when surrounded by a crowd.

"They can tear each other apart without my intervention." Helian Weiwei whistled and returned to her residence in a cheerful mood.

So much had happened in the past two days, and finally being back in her own territory allowed Helian Weiwei to relax. She simply kicked off her shoes and discarded her coat, then lazily lay on the wooden table. She swallowed the "Dragon Pill" she had obtained from Baili Jiajue earlier and began cultivating her qi.

She wanted to attempt waking up the dormant underworld, but she sensed a surge of excitement in the other party's mental state.

Helian Weiwei realized that the slumber of the underworld might not be a bad thing.

So she decided to let it sleep.

Perhaps there would be pleasant surprises when it finally awakened.

Helian Weiwei absorbed the essence of the entire Dragon Pill forcefully into her body, causing the air around her to churn and the ancient scrolls on the table to rattle.

The white cat, basking in the sun, suddenly perked up, surprise flickering in its eyes.

From the beginning, the cat knew she was not ordinary, but it never expected her to be a Qi Manipulator.

Not only was she the only one in the Battle Dragon Empire, but there was also no other Qi Manipulator across the sea.

Such a martial artist was either an ignorant fool or an astonishing genius who could control all martial qi!

It was clear that its master belonged to the latter category!

Previously, people wondered why it chose a well-known useless person in the capital as its master.

To protect her secret, the cat didn't reveal the true reason, only saying it was to repay a favor and that it would return later.

The people at Taibai Academy were oblivious to the fact that she already had her own divine beast!

The cat overheard someone saying, "No, in the upcoming martial arts competition, the Helian family member will undoubtedly lose badly. It's highly unlikely that she'll be chosen as a concubine. Moreover, the Third Prince prefers modest and simple women. She has already been rejected once, so it's basically impossible. Besides, the emperor would never allow a useless person to enter the palace."

Huh.

She wondered how those influential ladies who were gossiping about her would feel after witnessing this scene.

The white cat narrowed its eyes, its expression growing serious.

Furthermore, during the contract signing, it sensed a thick and ancient qi, apart from her original martial qi, within her body.

If its guess was correct, that must be her contracted demon god!

But who could be the contracted demon god with such an ancient aura?

Just as the white cat was about to ask Helian Weiwei, a cold and noble figure, resembling the moon, appeared by the door. The man was incredibly handsome, with ink-like hair flowing over his white clothes and green robe, exuding an untouchable aura.

Although this was the first time he saw this man, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

What in the world was happening here?

The white cat adjusted its beard and became instinctively vigilant.

"Xiaobai, well, he's my little brother," Helian Weiwei said, patting the white cat's head. She lazily propped up her chin and raised an eyebrow at Baili Jiajue. "Why are you here? No money to extort today?"

For the first time, Baili Jiajue removed his mask and found that the green and white attire of Taibai Academy was good. It concealed his true aura completely. Moreover, he could present himself to the world in whatever manner he desired.

For instance, at this moment, Baili Jiajue, with a hint of wickedness, without any reservations, leisurely supported the table with one hand and slowly leaned towards her...
