It was night and the moon was hidden behind the clouds, outside the window, the shadows of the trees melded into the darkness.

The steward of the Defense Division held a lantern outside the door and was looking left and right as if waiting for somebody.

After seeing the horse carriage approaching, he then quickly walked over and said with respect, “Madam.”

It turned out that the person who came back in the middle of the night was Su Yan Mo who had been ordered by the Retired Emperor to stay at the temple to pray to Buddha.

This trip to the Hidden Spirit Temple made her lose her reputation, not to mention, she was unable to do anything to that girl. If not for both families pleading on her behalf, she might have really had to stay at the temple for another two weeks or so.

However, even if it was just staying there for three days, Su Yan Mo’s heart was already filled with anger, she swept her cold gaze at the steward and said, “How are the things I’ve asked you to do?”

“Please rest assured Madam, this slave has just found out that lately Profound Heaven is doing a membership system and this slave has already arranged to meet the one managing the affairs there. Tomorrow, Madam would be able to bring Miss there and you would definitely be able to get your hands on a good armament at the auction.” The steward held the lantern in one hand and while he walked behind the carriage.

Su Yan Mo nodded with satisfaction and said, “How about that vile spawn? What has she been up to recently?”

“Eldest Miss has no martial qi on her body and White Academy’s focus has been on martial qi recently. She must have felt embarrassed and have requested for leave.

The steward related everything he had found out from the academy concisely.

Su Yan Mo laughed and her usual arrogance returned to her face as she sneered, “That’s all, you can go. We shall leave for Profound Heaven tomorrow morning.”

After so many years of scheming, she understood that vile spawn more than anyone else.

With an immense inferiority complex, yet she still wanted to stand out and prove herself.? Hmph, well, isn’t that good? Now she had already started to accumulate quite a fair bit.

Wait till this Martial Qi Competition is over, then that vile spawn would understand that she could not be compared to her beloved daughter at all and that they were never on the same level.

Originally, she was just a useless good-for-nothing piece of trash, even when she wanted to sever ties with the family, she did it in such a flamboyant manner.

At that time, wouldn’t she have to be like a beggar and beg them to let her return home, asking them for a way back to live?

The more she thought about the future, the smile of her face became more profound.

Little girl…you can’t be too naive.

Living in such a muddleheaded way, even forgetting the position of oneself, yet she still dared to challenge her?

Sooner or later, that vile spawn would kneel before her and lick her feet.

She was in no hurry, things have only just started…..

In the deep night, the crescent moon illuminated the sky.

In the luxurious palace, a thin white silk was draped over a magnificent golden cage was placed in the middle of the bedchamber. There was a deep azure jade pool just beside it and an intricately carved arabesque bed made of the finest wood was placed in the centre of the cage.

There was something that resembled a bracelet made out of pure gold that was hanging on the big bed. It was decorated with complicated patterns and it looked delicate and enchanting. It was just right to fit the wrist of a person. The inside of the bracelet was fitting and it was inlaid with a layer of soft rabbit fur, making it soft and comfortable. It would not hurt when worn and there was another layer of gold film beneath it. The person who was looking at it from the side donned on a white brocade robe and was leisurely lying on the chaise. One hand was supporting his head while the other held on an old scroll and he had on a very satisfied expression as he looked at the newly constructed golden cage. His lips curved up into a charming smile as he looked in appreciation.

Sitting opposite him was Nangong Lie who was chilled by his smile: “Ah Jue, do you really want to sleep here?”

“Yeah.”Baili Jia Jue replied casually.

Nangong Lie so that a mouthful of tea before asking, “don’t you think that this thing is too eye-catching?” Making a pure gold cage as a bed, was only something that he could think of.

Baili Jia Jue slowly flipped the scroll in his hand as he leisurely replied, “I don’t think so.”

Nangong Lie: “…..”

“The key point is that you are making such a thing. Would do you want to do with it? Don’t tell me that you really want to lock Helian Wei Wei in here?” Nangong Lie had thought that he was only casually talking about it the last time, he didn’t think he’d be serious about it!

Baili Jia Jue looked at him contemptuously, “What does this have to do anything with you?”

“I am just curious… curious only!” Nangong Lie quickly replied and explain himself. “Every person would not be willing to be locked up. Ah Jue, you have to be clear about one thing, she may just be an interesting prey in your eyes, however, when she sees such a thing, she would definitely run away.”

These two words “run away” let light in Baili Jia Jue’s eyes dim as he got up slightly, and shifted his position. Although his posture was casual, and he looked extremely dangerous, “she would not have such a chance.”

Listening to the movements in the room, the eunuchs outside the door had been craning their necks and thinking of all means and ways to come in many times, most probably wanted ask when Baili Jia Jue would like to take his bath, but they didn’t dare to.

Finally waiting until the time when he put down the scroll in his hands, after he stood up, the servants waiting at the side immediately went up and helped him wear his shoes.

He was wearing a white long robe with a large red fox fur. He was about to change into the White Academy’s uniform when he saw a shadow coming over and knelt down respectfully before he reported, “Your Royal Highness, we’ve lost her.”

The slender fingers of Baili Jia Jue froze for a moment, before he looked at the figure as his gaze became as cold as ice. “You lost her?”

“Miss Helian seems to be preparing to meet someone, and halfway she seemed to have known our positions and ditched all of us.” The shadow solemnly reported as he lowered his head.

Baili Jia Jue did not speak as his hand gripped his robes tighter. The light outside the shone on him, making him look like as if he was a precious collection in the museum. It was like a precious ivory sculpture which was very low-key yet luxurious.

Nangong Lie analysed, “She must have gone to meet someone important, otherwise, she would not lose the shadows. Mmm… Don’t tell me she had gone to meet Hei Ze? Ah Jue, have you realised, when we were competing, there was something strange between Hei Ze and her.…”

“Bang!”

He did not wait for Nangong Lie to finish. The teacup in his hand seemed to have been broken by some invisible force. Nangong Lie’s mouth was open, his face was a complete mess as the tea trickled down the side of his face and dripped onto the table, drop by drop.

He looked in the direction of Baili Jia Jue and could only see a glum figure. The man who always had been indifferent to everything around him had punched the wall and his hand was overflowing with blood. He still didn’t seem to notice that he had a smile on, there was a crack in the wall and as the breeze blew over, his hair was swept up and his surrounding aura was cold and oppressive.

Nangong Lie looked at this scene and his eyes narrowed. So intense… This is not like his usual style…
