“That girl is quite interesting,” Yuan Ming’s voice rang in her ears.

Helian Wei Wei did not react when she heard the remark. She just smirked as she said, “There are still others even if it’s gone.”

“That may be true, but there are certain things that cannot be replaced,” The young lady said as her eyes dimmed.

Helian Wei Wei did not continue the conversation. Instead, she placed the sandalwood beads back to their original position. After bidding farewell to the young lady, she disappeared into the night.

“Elder sister, are you just going to let her go?” asked Hei Zhu who had just emerged from the dense bamboo forest. “You might not be aware, but she did something to His Highness, she made him...”

As the young lady arranged the clothes neatly, she continued, “I know, things have just begun, and it’s only fair that I take the time to understand her. Hei Zhu, you’re too impatient, a woman that can pique his interest is not a simple woman. She is definitely a tricky one to deal with, but the more direct a person is, the easier it is for that person to be taken advantage of. Before I came back, I have already heard about her from others. Her actions were bold, but that also means she would easily offend others. Also, I have never met someone who reveals their disdain at the first meeting...” As she went on, her tone became softer. “That is why I can constantly take them down!”

After listening to what she said, Hei Zhu smiled. “I see that Elder Sister has her own ideas. However, you’ve seen the woman’s appearance. She’s tan as coal, how can a piece of coal be compared to Elder Sister?”

The young lady smiled lightly and said, “Come on, let’s go to the Superior Compound.”

“Okay!” Hei Zhu tagged along behind her. She could not help but imagine His Highness’ reaction and that ugly woman’s fate after he laid eyes on her Elder Sister. The thought of it made her heart well up with smugness and satisfaction.

Little by little, rain started to fall on the mountain.

The excitement that came with the commencement of a new semester had started to fade. The returning academy students had settled down and were all lying on their beds, drifting into a deep sleep.

But at this time, Helian Wei Wei sat up abruptly. She glanced at Qing Zhan, who was sleeping in the outer house, before stepping lightly out of the Inferior Compound.

At this time, while everyone was sleeping, White Academy was shrouded in darkness, even more so after it started raining. The guards on patrol duty were also influenced by the peaceful atmosphere, causing them to slack off a little.

This situation made Helian Wei Wei’s covert operation even easier. She squinted her almond-shaped eyes as she slid gracefully onto an obscure footpath, sneaking boldly past the guards while their backs were turned. However, nobody noticed her.

When she arrived at the designated meeting point at a corner of the Trading Compound, Helian Wei Wei finally held up her umbrella. With a soft smile, she said, “Old Man Huan, ambushing someone from behind is usually regarded as immoral behavior.”

“You cheeky little brat!” The old man tried his best to change direction in mid-air, his toes touching down on the floor gently. He coughed lightly, “It’s really hard to catch you off guard these days.”

Helian Wei Wei tossed a strawberry up in the air before stuffing it into her mouth. “I did not join the Battle Spirit Forces just to be caught off guard by you.”

“You!” Before Huan Ming Xiang could explode, Helian Wei Wei nudged him into a discreet grove of bamboo trees. “I got this from the palace. Since I’ve heard that you liked these in your younger years, I made sure to swipe some from the royal kitchens when they were not looking.”

Huan Ming Xiang’s eyes shone when his eyes fell on the wine urn. Despite that, his tone was still serious as he chided, “Look at you, you’re about to become a Princess Consort, but you’re still going around stealing people’s wine. My girl, are the rumors true? Is that icy brat not treating you well?”

“Him?” Helian Wei Wei was at a loss for words to describe His Highness, so she just simply nodded. “He’s fine.”

Huan Ming Xiang glared at her. “Don’t you ever lie to this old man! If you are ever bullied, let me know. No matter how inconvenient it would be, I can still help you say a word or two at the palace.”

This was the second person who had cared so much for her ever since she traveled back in time to this ancient dynasty.

Helian Wei Wei grinned and she replied, “I know.”

Her heart could feel a sense of warmth for some reason.

Her grandfather and mother had passed on when she was younger, so in a way, when it came to memories of familial bonds, everything had stopped when she turned seven. After that, she had stepped into the Tang Sect.

Later on, she rarely got bullied, but she did bleed a lot.

Every time she went out on missions, it was never certain if she could make it back alive.

Tang Sect’s training was very cruel and inhumane.

But at that time, that was the only place that was willing to take her in.

Like a flower blooming in the dark, that place welcomed the ruthless and bloodthirsty into their arms.

That was why Helian Wei Wei, at a certain standpoint, could accept the Third Prince’s actions. The reason was simple, no matter how different they were on the surface, deep down, they were the same type of human beings.

“Old Man Huan, I have made up my mind. I want to join your Battle Spirit Forces.” Helian Wei Wei lifted her eyes, determination sparkling in their depths.

Huan Ming Xiang was overjoyed as he said, “I will let them know of your acceptance tomorrow. Girl, what made you decide to join?”

“Legends have it that the Battle Spirit Forces fight in the dark for the War Dragon Empire,” Helian Wei Wei said wistfully. “It was all to ensure that people can live in peace and not influenced by any family or bloodline. I find it very meaningful to join such a force.”

Huan Ming Xiang laughed as he lifted his hands to comb through his beard. “Then, you should prepare yourself. In three days, I will lead you to the preliminary test to enlist in the Battle Spirits Forces. You need not worry, it should not be too hard for you. There are a lot of fresh faces joining this time, and two of them are new students from the Superior Compound. They are also candidates to join the Battle Spirit Forces.”

Two new students? Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows. As she thought about it, she recalled the unfamiliar girl she saw in the bathroom. Maybe she was one of the new students?

Looks like the White Academy is getting more and more interesting...

The rain dispersed as the night came to an end. The next day, the air was cool and breezy, and the temperature was comfortable.

The abundant sunlight poured into the Inferior Compound.

The teacher had not arrived yet, so everybody was rushing to complete their homework.

Only Baili Jia Jue was sitting at his table lazily, with one of his hands supporting his cheek. His hair drifted freely in the air, while his posture was that of lazy regality. He was so good-looking that nobody could pull their eyes away from him, yet no one dared look straight at him.

Helian Wei Wei yawned as she walked into the compound. The black and white scholar’s hat that she was wearing truly complemented her elegant eyes. Plunking herself down next to him, she greeted cheerily, “Morning.”

Before Baili Jia Jue could even come up with a reply, she rested her head on the desk in preparation to sleep.

Baili Jia Jue looked at her, his mesmerizing eyes squinted ever so slightly.

At this time, all of the students had already settled into their places.

Even the chronically late Nangong Lie had made it to his place. However, when he saw the nerdy-looking youth sitting next to Helian Wei Wei, the cheerfulness in his eyes started to fade.

Qing Zhan knew that he did not want to see her, but she never would have thought that Young Master Lie and His Highness, the Third Prince would have been assigned to the Inferior Compound.

If she had known in the first place, she would have listened to Princess Consort and choose to enroll for one of the other compounds. It could have prevented her from having to be in this situation.

“You seem to be doing quite well these days.”

A familiar voice resonated in her ears...
