Strong confrontation

"Kurosawa, do I need to remind you again?" Helian Weiwei withdrew her hand, her tone faintly indifferent. "We are cooperating now."

Kurosawa smiled faintly. "Indeed, our understanding is quite remarkable. We make a great team."

"You seem to have a great understanding with your right hand. Why don't you just marry it?" Helian Weiwei retorted, then turned and changed her position, continuing to hide in the shadows.

Kurosawa's mouth twitched twice, realizing her boldness surpassed that of most men. He hoped the hand she mentioned wasn't what he thought!

She's a girl; how can she speak so boldly?

"No, two people would attract too much attention," Helian Weiwei glanced back at the young master of the Hei family. "We will act separately and meet at the martial arts cultivation meeting."

Kurosawa shrugged nonchalantly. "Sure, I can handle it."

"Well then, take care, young master." Helian Weiwei's lips curled into a smile, and she disappeared into the night in just a few steps, confident that news of her association with the young master of the black family would spread.

Diverting attention by pushing Kurosawa out was a good plan...

"Your Highness, I have found out." A Dark Shadow reported, meeting Baili Jia Jue's cold gaze with trepidation. "Miss Wei Wei is currently at the Youyuan. Baili Jia Jue raised an eyebrow. "Youyuan? What is she doing there?"

"It seems...," Dark Shadow hesitated, finding it difficult to continue. "She went to find the second young master of the Black Family."

Baili Jia Jue's steps seemed to freeze upon hearing this. Then, he tilted his head and let out a low laugh, causing his bangs to partially cover his face, giving him a somewhat lonely appearance.

When Dark Shadow tried to observe more closely, Baili Jia Jue suddenly raised his eyes, discarding the white gloves wrapped around his hands. His eyes shone with a frightening brilliance, exuding an air of loneliness that made him look even more elegant and dangerous. It felt as if something was about to burst forth from his eyes.

Dark Shadow wondered if he was imagining things, but he felt as if his own martial energy had been disturbed, causing his breathing to become uncomfortable. The strange feeling disappeared as soon as Baili Jia Jue's fingers touched his chest.

Then, Baili Jia Jue spoke with a cold indifference, "In that case, capture both her and Kurosawa. No matter who she's with, bring them to the main hall."

Dark Shadow trembled and bowed his head respectfully. "Yes."

"And don't remove the checkpoints from other locations." Baili Jia Jue pondered for a moment, a chilling smile appearing on his face. "That woman is most skilled at playing tricks. Keep an eye on the eastern side as well."

Dark Shadow acknowledged the order, realizing that his Highness was as terrifying as ever. His demeanor now was even more bone-chilling than before, and the demon-like coldness in his smiling eyes could freeze one's blood.

Having served his Highness for so many years, Dark Shadow had never seen him like this before. Moreover, there was no one in this world who could truly challenge his Highness.

His Highness never revealed this side of himself before, but when he did, he was even more formidable than the Emperor himself.

Capturing Helian Weiwei was just a matter of time.

Their people surrounded the entire Taibai Academy, and even Dark Shadow, who knew all the deployments, would struggle to escape. Helian Weiwei, who knew nothing of the situation, had no chance at all.

But did Helian Weiwei truly know nothing?

Of course not.

Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy leads to victory in a hundred battles. She had a clear understanding of Baili Jia Jue's plans. In fact, she wasn't somewhere else; she had infiltrated the guards.

Wherever Baili Jia Jue went, she followed. Even so, when she heard his voice, she couldn't help but shudder. This man left her with no room to breathe.

Fortunately, based on her past life's experience, she could continue to disguise herself. Otherwise, she would be stopped and killed wherever she went.

Helian Weiwei took a deep breath and focused on playing her role as a guard. For the first time, she was grateful for her dark complexion, as it allowed her to blend in with the group of men without arousing suspicion.

Why did she provoke such a difficult man?

Wasn't it just because she rejected him once?

The Third Prince wasn't so petty, was he?

Helian Weiwei sighed inwardly.

Yuan Hao, in his usual arrogant tone, tried to comfort her. "Tell that man that the person you love is like a Buddha figure, and he shouldn't approach love with a knife."

The corner of Helian Weiwei's mouth twitched. "Shut up, and thank you."

"Woman, stop denying it. If you didn't love me, how could you hold me so tightly?" Yuan Yu snorted arrogantly. "Your every little thought has been seen through by that Buddha figure."

Helian Weiwei felt helpless. "Where do you get your confidence? Wake up, dear."

"Forget it, you're too shy. The Buddha figure won't force you. But speaking of him, I still can't understand him completely. Be careful, I feel that things aren't so simple." Yuan Hao's tone returned to normal, but his eyes darkened when he looked at Baili Jia Jue's back.

Helian Weiwei scoffed, well aware of how challenging the Third Prince was.

In an empire that values martial arts, he managed to make even the members of the four major families fear him, despite not possessing martial energy himself. This demonstrated that his methods and mindset were invincible throughout the entire Battle Dragon Empire.

It seemed that Kurosawa wouldn't last much longer.

She needed to find other ways to escape early.

"What about Xiao Bai's situation?" Helian Weiwei walked alongside the guards while conversing with Yuan Hao through their mental connection.

Yuan's voice turned serious. "Everything is going according to plan. Once you leave the academy, a divine beast will be waiting to transport you to the mountains."

"A divine beast..." Helian Weiwei paused, a shrewd light glimmering in her narrowed eyes...
