The Anarchic Consort [ Chapter 1 - 199 ]

Chapter 106: An Appearance That Astonished People

That temperament. That appearance. That figure. Even if the clothes on her body were of crude fabric, it was still difficult to cover up that refined elegance.

How would the shadows lying in wait within the city have the leisure to care about some goddess coming out into the city. The one they most wanted to look for was an ugly girl! Especially an ugly girl with dark skin!

As a result, no one reported this matter to Baili Jia Jue, who knew nothing of it.

On the contrary, Helian Jiao Er, who left on a matter, heard this news upon reaching the capital. The servant girl at her side very disdainfully curled her thin lips. “A village girl also dares to compare with My Lady, truly is ridiculous.”

Helian Jiao Er smiled. That kind of very subtle feeling. “Don’t need to pay attention to it. Just let them say whatever.”

“Jiao Er is right. Paying attention to these things only reduces your own worth!” Helian Guang Yao laughed in a gratified manner as he walked out from within the inn behind the girls.

Helian Jiao Er turned her head around and called out. “Father.”

Helian Guang Yao nodded his head. “This time, Father called you out here, because I’ve obtained a piece of news. This news will of be great assistance to you at the grand martial qi competition.”

“What news?” Helian Jiao Er’s eyes shined.

Helian Guang Yao mysteriously curved his lips. “The armament convention will be starting soon. There is an armament there that is personally made by Young Master Wu Shuang. It’s extremely suitable for you to use. If you could obtain that armament to pair with the martial qi in your body, you could definitely win first place at the martial qi competition!”

“Armament……” The more Helian Jiao Er heard, the more that pair of eyes shined. As far as every martial artist is concerned, being able to obtain an armament that matches them was simply more important than any other matter. Currently, she’d already advanced. If she now possessed an amazing armament, Retired Emperor would definitely sit up and take notice. Even that aloof and remote person who’d always liked outstanding women……

Helian Guang Yao looked at the expression on his dearly loved daughter, and knew that she already had an opinion in her mind, yet she just wasn’t talkative. He directly said. “In regards to the academy, Father already helped you ask for leave. After you go back later, pack well and go on the journey with Lord Murong. He has an invitation card from Master Tu Tian and can bring you into the armament convention. Father also already greeted the person in charge over there. It’ll be more convenient when you go.”

Helian Jiao Er also wasn’t slow-witted. After she finished listening, she asked a question. “Father, rather than wasting so much effort to plan these things, why not speak directly with Young Master Wu Shuang. Does it have something to do with me?”

“Did you think that Father haven’t tried?” Helian Guang Yao let out a long sigh. “Young Master Wu Shuang was born in an influential armament family. You also know that all of the armament masters in this world, no matter how skilled they were, they still have no choice but to concede that they could not duplicate the armaments Young Master Wu Shuang made. In addition, his father is the head of the Armament Assembly. This kind of person never appeared in public easily, even though they also wouldn’t reject anyone. Young Master Wu Shuang actually received my invitation, and also wrote me a reply letter. However, the letter only contained some polite greetings. The general idea was to let the armament choose its own master. Sigh, he indeed really won’t bite on any bait, whether it be soft or firm.”

Helian Jiao Er laughed lightheartedly, the corners of her mouth reflected her complacency. “Father, you don’t need to worry, when the moment comes, Jiao Er will naturally be able to make Young Master Wu Shuang treat me favorably.”

“Since you have this much resolve, Father is also relieved!” Helian Guang Yao happily patted her shoulders as he turned to the servants at his side and ordered. “Take good care of the young miss, not even the smallest mistake is allowed!”

“Yes!” The servants dropped their eyes with a reverent and respectful appearance.

Helian Jiao Er’s personal maid lent an arm to help Helian Jiao Er turn as she said. “This servant heard that that Young Master Wu Shuang is actually quite handsome. Reportedly in this capital, besides Third Prince, no one else can compare with his good looks. It’s a pity that his health is not good. Since young, he was raised inside the official residence. Ordinarily, he only comes out when there’s an armament auction, from head to toe covered with a luxurious and noble air.”

“Really, you, only knowing how to inquire about these meaningless things everyday.” Helian Jiao Er’s head didn’t even tilt at all as she walked in an indescribably arrogant manner.

That personal maid knew that her master’s mood hadn’t been too good recently and was afraid if she said something wrong she’d get pinched at the arm again. She cleverly changed the direction of her words as she said, “This servant is able to listen to these things, because the contents has something to do with My Lady.”
