Bai Mei frowned. “But it’s difficult to keep hiding this since we are all in the same academy. Qing Zhan will meet Elder Sister sooner or later.”

“There’s nothing to worry about. Elder Sister has all grown up now, and, apart from her personality and her abilities, with her angelic features, Qing Zhan would never be able to recognize her even if they come across each other,” Hei Zhu said, the grin on her face gradually growing as she continued, “Just you wait! When Elder Sister makes her official appearance, Helian Wei Wei will know what shame really feels like. There’s no need for His Highness to even make a choice, she would be defeated in the most horrible way! Moreover, there is no doubt in His Highness’ decision. It must be Elder Sister who was by his side even before we became death knights.”

Bai Mei had to admit that Hei Zhu managed to convince her. In a flash, she felt obliged to tell her about the whereabouts of Baili Jia Jue.

However, upon further consideration, she decided to remain silent.

Let’s wait.

Since she told me that Elder Sister has already made an appearance, it will not be long until both of them encounter each other.

His Highness dislikes others to interfere with his business, so regarding some matters, it would be better to let nature take its course.

“This is your first test question to join the Battle Spirit Forces,” Huan Ming Xiang placed the test papers in the hands of Helian Wei Wei and Yun Biluo.

“Find an old member of the Battle Spirit Forces in the White Academy.

He has the clue of the next direction you need to head to in his hand.”

Helian Wei Wei raised her nice-looking eyebrows. To find someone?

“This shouldn’t be a problem for Biluo.” Luan Yan seemed to be very confident with the person he brought in to the academy.

Huan Ming Xiang turned to Helian Wei Wei and said with a straight face, “The two of you have two chances to ask for assistance. If you truly cannot find this old member, you can retrieve information regarding this old member from the guide. In order to ensure absolute fairness, both of us have no idea about this old member; the key is for him to admit it himself.”

Helian Wei Wei immediately realized. In fact, the beginning part of this task was not difficult. The challenging part was toward the end.

Even if they had found the old member, he might not admit to it.

After all, the confidentiality of the Battle Spirit Forces was more important than anything else at times.

“Please listen clearly. You only have three days’ time.” Huan Ming Xiang caught a glimpse of the bright moon in the distance. “Three days later, we will assess your answer.”

Yun Biluo let out an elegant chuckle, her words laced with a faint cough, “This kind of competition is really interesting. I’d have to ask Miss Helian to provide guidance in the future.”

“Sure,” Helian Wei Wei easily agreed, but could not help knitting her brows.

Yuan Ming’s lips curved into a mischievous smirk. “What is it, woman? Do you think you can’t beat her?”

“Based on my experience, this type of question tests your observation skills at the beginning and the players’ teamwork toward the end.” After all, Helian Wei Wei was a Mercenary Queen with special background, so she could thoroughly understand the ultimate goal of the person who created such a question.

Yuan Ming chortled, “Are you saying you want to cooperate with that woman?”

“I was just stating what their ultimate goal was, and as for cooperating...” The corners of Helian Wei Wei’s thin lips curled upward, “That depends on whether she’s willing. Don’t you always praise her for being interesting?”

A tint of innocent yet evil aura flashed through Yuan Ming’s pupils. “Indeed interesting.”

“You’re a demon, Yuan Xiaoming.” Helian Wei Wei nonchalantly used her stream of consciousness to continue communicating with Yuan Ming. “The words said by the demon have the opposite meaning.”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Ming was dumbfounded, but he immediately started laughing, “Woman, are you sure you have never visited the hell in your previous life? What an extraordinary understanding you have of demons. You seriously surprised me.”

“So, it’s best if you don’t hide anything from me in the future,” One corner of Helian Wei Wei’s thin lips twitched.

Yuan Ming peeked a glance at the crescent moon hanging low in the sky. “Here you go again, talking about the matter regarding the Third Prince and you. Don’t hold grudges on me. It was all for your sake. Aren’t you two getting along just fine now?”

Upon mentioning the Third Prince, it seemed to have suddenly reminded Helian Wei Wei about something. “Oh, no.”

“What is it?” Huan Ming Xiang stared at her with confusion in his eyes. “Is there a problem?”

Helian Wei Wei turned to look at him as her hands still focused on packing her stuff. “It’s nothing, but I still have plans, so I’ll have to excuse myself.”

“Why is this girl in such a hurry?” Huan Ming Xiang watched as Helian Wei Wei vanished from sight within two or three steps. He could not help but shake his head; he could clearly tell the Third Prince’s affection toward Helian Wei Wei.

At this moment, Yun Biluo also retracted her gaze. She turned to Huan Ming Xiang and Luan Yan and said, “Seniors, I’ll make a move as well.”

“Wait a minute,” Luan Yan called out to Yun Biluo. “You don’t want the information either?”

Yun Biluo let out a faint smile, showing her gentleness. “Since Miss Helian didn’t want it, I don’t want it either.”

“Now that’d be interesting.” Huan Ming Xiang stroked his long white mustache with deep meaning. “Both of you don’t want tips. This is the first time I’ve encountered such a situation as a guide. Girl, it can’t be that you and that girl, Wei Wei have a dispute?”

Yun Biluo carried a smile in her eyes. “What are you talking about, Old Man Huan? We have only bumped into each other yesterday, it’s just that she took something that belongs to me by accident, so I need to get it back from her.”

“Oh?” Huan Ming Xiang knew from the start that there was more to this, but he remained a straight face. “What is it that’s so important for you to compete with her?”

Yun Biluo seemed to be blown out in surprise, her eyes widened up and her voice was full of innocence. “Why would you say that, Old Man Huan? I have no intention of comparing myself to her.” As she continued, she bit her lower lip, “Not to mention, I don’t think it is necessary for us to compete against each other. You should stop overthinking about this, Old Man Huan.”

As Yun Biluo finished her words, she nodded at Luan Yan and picked up her pace into the darkness of the night.

Huan Ming Xiang felt flustered. He did not know why but he had a feeling that the girl looked sort of familiar to him. However, upon further consideration, he could not recall the memory of encountering her before.

However, it was normal for new students to feel the need to compete against each other.

This was nothing new to Huan Ming Xiang, so he did not pay much attention to it.

Luan Yan opened his mouth at this instant, “Helian Wei Wei definitely thinks too lightly of this task. This person is at White Academy but still manages to conceal himself. This proves that he isn’t that easy to find.”

“If you think Helian Wei Wei takes it too lightly, then do you think Yun Biluo takes things very seriously?” Huan Ming Xiang remarked.

With a wide smile plastered on Luan Yan’s face, he replied, “Old Man Huan, I did not mean any harm. It’s just that, all these years the candidates for the Battle Spirit Forces are selected from talents with a wide range of knowledge. Yun Biluo is the recommendation of every elder, and I was once a witness to her extensive abilities; they are impressive, not only is her martial Qi is amazing, even her camouflage skills are highly brilliant. As for Helian Wei Wei, I know that she is known for her amazing moves lately. But, Old Man Huan, to find this person, it is insufficient if one relies solely on their martial Qi. They would also have to possess strong observation skills. Do you think Helian Wei Wei can pull this off?”

Huan Ming Xiang simply returned a smile to Luan Yan in response. He did not tell him that, right here back then, it was Helian Wei Wei who saw through his disguise as the old cleaner.

That girl... One should never in their life underestimate her!
