“I’m not interested in playboys.” Helian Wei Wei gently turned the teacup in her hand, each word pronounced clearly. “What’s more, if you married me, wouldn’t that childhood sweetheart of yours cry on the toilet until she’s all dizzy, hm?”
The smile on Hei Ze’s face became grave in a flash as he extended his hand to swallow a mouthful of wine. “Her? Heh, she’s probably eager for me to hurry and get married. The day before yesterday, she even sent a huge pile of picture scrolls* to my grandfather. Indeed, she loves to trouble herself.”
As Hei Ze was saying these words, he faintly conveyed a sneer, as if he didn’t care about anyone anymore.
Wei Wei certainly didn’t fall for it. Everyone said that the Hei family’s second young master’s sights are set higher than the roof, meeting new girls, yet would never tolerate one for more than half a month.
However, from Wei Wei’s observations, it’s only because he hid a person in his heart….
“You should also leave first.” Hei Ze leaned way over, a sharply defined face speaking with his usual disposition. “You won Young Master Wu Shuang’s armament. There are bound to be people who are not convinced. It’s also not safe for you to stay at Armament City.”
Wei Wei believed this to be the case, so didn’t stay further. After she’d already made the arrangements that she needed to make, she was then going to leave the inn.
Yet didn’t anticipate running into Helian Jiao Er and her group of people.
They seemed to have just returned from the armament convention. Each of their hands were holding a newly selected armament.
After they saw Wei Wei, the expressions on those people’s faces differed from one another.
“Chang Feng, look, that ugly girl also came. She shouldn’t be here looking for you, right?” Somebody laughed.
One can’t blame this person for having this kind of reaction, because the former Wei Wei was indeed very obsessed with Murong Chang Feng. Each day, she stood at the Defense Division mansion and only thought of how she could find out even a bit of news about her future husband.
This was the sort of notion every stay at home young girl had, yet these people considered it to be a basis for mocking Wei Wei.
Wei Wei coldly laughed. The white cat rested on her shoulder. Her hand grasped the umbrella and didn’t pay attention to that crowd of people at all.
When Murong Chang Feng heard people speaking of her, his eyes couldn’t help but look towards her direction. The hands beneath his sleeves also immediately tensed.
Perhaps even he, himself, didn’t know why the image of Wei Wei’s face had been flashing in his mind from time to time.
He thought it probably was him not having readjusted.
After all, a person who was so fanatical about him in the past was now cold and indifferent like this. No one would be able to get used to it.
“Look at that umbrella she’s holding in her hand. It ought to be the one Young Master Wu Shuang made” Jealous and envious gazes fell onto Wei Wei’s body.
Among those aristocratic young ladies, there was no lack of girls who admired Murong Chang Feng and also those with good relationships with Helian Jiao Er. Naturally, they looked at Wei Wei unfavorably.
Adding to that her father’s assured position in Armament City, and that’s why she didn’t bother to be polite with Wei Wei. “Hey, I’m speaking to you. Bring that umbrella over here and let us take a look!”
Wei Wei totally seemed as if she didn’t hear, and minding her own business, walked ahead.
That aristocratic young lady had never been treated this way by anybody before. She walked in large strides over and directly blocked Wei Wei’s path as she coldly said. “I was talking to you, didn’t you hear me?”
Wei Wei indifferently glanced at her and only spoke two words. “Step aside.”
“Hah!” That young girl thought it was ridiculous as she inclined her head. “Who do you think you are? Dare to speak to me like that. You were only lucky to have won Young Master Wu Shuang’s armament, and you really thought that you understand armaments quite well now? Ugly girl, I’m telling you, you’re still far inferior!”
Wei Wei’s pair of eyes looked forward, faced that girl’s eyes, and lifted her thin lips forming words containing a fierce ice-coldness. “I’ll repeat it again, step aside.”
That girl from a prestigious family was also not easy to handle. Seeing Wei Wei not giving her face like that, immediately, her complexion became gloomy.
“Elder Sister!” Helian Jiao Er was standing by that young girl’s side and used a ‘how could you be so insensible’ kind of look to glance at Wei Wei. “This person is the armament assembly’s vice-president’s daughter, Miss Cheng, shouldn’t you treat her with a bit more respect.”
Wei Wei lifted her thin lips a bit as a mocking smile slowly flowed out from her eyes.
When that young girl saw this expression, it didn’t sit well with her and she laughed coldly. “Forget it, I don’t want to lower myself to her level. In regards to these people who haven’t seen many armaments, a country bumpkin who occasionally won once without knowing how high the heaven is or how profound the earth is, how much respect for others do you hope she could have. Younger Sister Jiao Er, after you’ve purchased that armament from Profound Heavens, you really ought to let this country bumpkin see it and have her properly know what is known as a disparity in ability.”
After hearing Profound Heavens mentioned, the smiling expression on the corners of Wei Wei’s mouth became even wider. As it was widening, there was even a little bit of an unidentified, distinctive quality.
Helian Jiao Er laughed softly and hypocritically evaded. “We’re still in the process of negotiating. Whether the armament can be obtained is still uncertain. However, it looks as if there should be a possibility.”
“Sister Jiao Er, what are you afraid of, the Defense Division Mansion has no shortage of money. Moreover, only an excellent armament would be deserving of your talent.” Cheng Cheng patted Helian Jiao Er’s hand and disdainfully swept a glance at Wei Wei. “Unlike some people, currying favors from people everywhere, yet don’t have any genuine talent. I reckon that she hasn’t even heard of what Profound Heavens is. If I was Grandmaster Zi Zun, and accepted a disciple like that, the humiliation would be more than I can bear.”
Cheng Cheng’s words gave rise to hoots of laughter all around.
Wei Wei’s pair of hands were crossed in front of her chest. Her body was leaning on a column behind her, um… how should she tell this Miss Cheng that Profound Heavens actually was established by her, heh.
“All right, we shouldn’t waste our time here.” Murong Chang Feng indifferently cast a glance at Wei Wei. The expression on his handsome face didn’t change in the least. “You also should return to wherever you were returning.”
Cheng Cheng heard Murong Chang Feng speak up to help Wei Wei out of her predicament and felt a fit of unease in her heart. Didn’t Lord Murong loathe this girl the most?
“What Lord said is right, we totally don’t need to waste our time on a good-for-nothing.” Cheng Cheng purposefully misrepresented Murong Chang Feng’s words while she smilingly suggested. “I heard that she will also participate in the martial qi competition not long from now. When that time comes, we can actually properly exchange moves.”
She absolutely must beat this ugly girl to the point where she wouldn’t even be able to crawl to get up!
Wei Wei didn’t respond to her. People who were familiar with her ought to know that she was in a rush. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have endured for so long and would’ve already flown over with her clenched fists!
However, considering that Third Prince was still waiting for her. In addition to that, if this matter gave rise to the four great clans’ attention, it’d be difficult to avoid inviting trouble upon Third Prince.
What she disliked the most was to cause trouble for her partners.
However, at the martial qi competition, she’d properly exchange moves with that girl. She happened to have the same idea, hehe…
“Girl, you smiled very sinisterly, wow.”
(Misty Cloud Translations: ‘Wei’ means miniature and ‘Ze’ means pool. Essentially, she used a combination of hers and Hei Ze’s name for the name of the shop.
The original name is 微泽天下 Wei Ze Tian Xia. I’ve changed it to Profound Heavens for smoother reading, and to all name coma people out there (Yup, that’s me, I blank out when I see too many names). But we’re putting these notes in so that you understand the author’s twist in the naming… haha
