Wei Wei abruptly stiffened, there was basically no time to respond. Fortunately, the young man turned to the side and lowered his leg while a corner of his white robe then coincidentally concealed her. He softly coughed while speaking. “Your Highness, is there something else?”
The corner of Baili Jia Jue’s mouth curved down, even though this was a question, it still gave off a kind of cultured, favorable gracefulness. “There isn’t, anymore.”
She didn’t know why, but she secretly perspired a layer of cold sweat on behalf of her own actions a moment ago.
This Third Prince again deviously wanted to draw her out!
Luckily, the sickly person responded quickly enough and his acting skills were good enough. Otherwise, hah, the usual ordinary person really would have no way of handling that guy.
Wei Wei sort of breathed with relief as she curled on the ground, one hand supporting her chin, without any form to speak of.
“Then this commoner will take his leave.” The young man extended his hand and let down the carriage’s curtains. He lowered his head and glanced at her, then faced outside the carriage to command in a soft voice. “Uncle Liang, let’s go.”
The city gate opened as the wheels rolled across the ground. Wei wei, however, heard a cry of alarm.
“Your Highness!”
It was Shadow. He extended his hand in order to support the dizzy Baili Jia Jue.
But was stopped from acting by Baili Jia Jue’s gaze.
“His Highness...” Even though it was merely a slight touch, however, the temperature that transmitted slowly from his master’s body already indicated how terrible his body’s condition currently was.
However, surprisingly, none of the others were able to tell.
His Highness was strong and would never have exposed the slightest trace of weakness in front of others.
Even now, he still only used his fingers to press on his own forehead as his long eyebrows slightly creased, his voice indifferently issued a command. “Continue to search.”
“But your health...” All of the concern within Shadow’s eyes was inadvertently revealed. Since the time of that big fire, a lot of ailments fell on His Highness’ body. Every single one of them was sufficient to snatch his life.
Yet Baili Jia Jue only turned his ring a bit. “I said continue searching.”
“Yes.” Shadow dropped his eyes respectfully. With his hand raised, he led the rest of the shadow guards and rushed out into all of the capital’s streets.
After waiting until there was no one all around, the fire qilin then appeared from the Dark Illusionary Space and opened its mouth. “Master, you need to rest.”
“The horse just now, was a black flying horse.” Baili Jia Jue’s voice was level, as if he was merely stating a fact.
The fire qilin lowered its head. “Nothing escapes master’s eyes.”
“I didn’t look.” Baili Jia Jia lifted his head up. The place where light resided in his eyes was missing some light. “It was somewhat agitated, became aware of your existence.”
The fire qilin jumped. “Master, your eyes.”
“I can’t see for the time being.” Baili Jia Jue’s voice was emotionless, as before, as if the one who was blind wasn’t him.
The fire qilin fiercely furrowed its dense eyebrows. Just like it had said before, that big fire really brought too, too much harm to its master, just like the kind of situation right now was something that master had encountered before.
Lasting as long as three days, some as short as one day.
It’s just that the interval seemed to be getting shorter and shorter. Don’t know if this situation is good or not.
No matter what, what’s most important right now was to not have anyone become aware that master’s not well...
And Wei Wei, on her stomach inside the horse carriage, was instead facing backwards to take a quick look. Her eyes carried an unknown light, as if there was something different.
“If the young lady regrets it, you can now exit the carriage.” The young man’s voice was very kindly, yet was abnormally penetrating.
Wei Wei’s eyebrows jumped. “Regret?” She merely felt that she had a bit of an unfair advantage. Forget it. If this was a normal Third Prince, he certainly would’ve discovered her hiding inside the horse carriage.
Apparently, sometimes good luck could also be crucial to a battle’s outcome.
Even though right now, her health also wasn’t that much better than Third Prince’s.
Wei Wei moved towards the top of the soft cushion and leaned against it. Her tiredness was manifested most noticeably at the corner of her eyes.
“Everybody wants to get married with Third Prince.” The young man looked at her appearance, an unassuming smile appeared at the edge of his lips. His low and deep voice flowed out like the murmur of running water, as if he was only stating a fact.
His dark blue colored hair was like a rich fabric draped on his shoulders, without the slightest trace of a difference in color. Above his shirt collar was a face like jade that could sweep all living things off their feet. His appearance was like the stars, as if it was an early spring that melts away the snow, was pleased, yet displeased, a light which forcibly pressured this carriage.
This kind of young man made people felt that just taking a glance at him would tarnish him, yet they could not control their desire to approach him.
Wei Wei again sized up the white clothed young man and only saw him sitting there emotionlessly, with only his solitary nature as if he didn’t do anything, yet could still approach on his own accord like a refreshing breeze.
It’s not that Wei Wei hadn’t met this kind of person before, appearing on the surface to be very frail, yet in fact, had the ability to hold heaven and earth in the palm of his hand.
Within the Dragon War Empire, the only person who fit this kind of image
Was precisely him, ranked second in the capital, Liancheng noble family’s Young Master Wu Shuang!
Reportedly, even though the Liancheng’s noble family was not considered one of the four great clans at all, nevertheless, it was one of the Dragon War Empire’s most noble and most mysterious lineage, and seemed to have a relationship to the Baili branch of the royal clan that sits on the throne. The two families practically breathed the same air, or was joined to the same tree branch.
Even though their population size is small nowadays, however, every one of them was a genius at comprehending how to make armaments.
And among the members of the noble Liancheng family, the eldest son, Jing Wu Shuang, was the most outstanding. During childhood, he already became the Liancheng clan’s unanimously approved successor.
The position of Liancheng family’s successor was only determined by virtue and talent, and didn’t take seniority into account. Someone who could be the head of the clan must be able to guide the destiny of all of the talented people in the clan!
Therefore, setting aside the fact that those armaments he manufactured was highly popular, merely based on the approval he was unexpectedly able to obtain from the Liancheng noble clan alone, it’s already not difficult to imagine that this young man’s capability perhaps was so deep that it’s difficult to assess!
“Miss, where do you plan on going next?” The young man consciously turned over the ancient scroll in his hand. There was even a teapot arranged at the center of the carriage. Inside the teapot was warm tea, the steam from the tea rose in spirals, emitting a faintly fragrant scent. He faced Wei Wei and smiled. Even though there was weariness, it nevertheless did not affect his otherworldly gracefulness in the slightest, as if a celestial being had walked out from a painting.
In the beginning, Wei Wei originally was going to threaten this young man and have him directly take her to the armament convention and that’d be it. In any case, he, Jing Wu Shuang, as the armament assembly member’s son, also was a main topic of conversation at this armament convention, and certainly should appear there.
Yet now, seeing that the young man actually didn’t resist and even helped her so much,
Wei Wei was already too embarrassed to mention her head full of fierce words, and could only reply. “After turning by that mountain top ahead, just let me down.”
The black flying horse’s speed was very fast.
Not a moment passed before it spread its wings and flew over a mountain top.
After that...
The young man faced Wei Wei sitting with him by his side and took a glance as he coughed a couple of times. “Shouldn’t the young lady get out of the carriage now? We’re a single man and single lady. Let’s not damage the young lady’s reputation.”
Wei Wei also wasn’t someone who was shameless, and also roughly understood the other party’s meaning.
This was more like him being afraid she’d take advantage of him.
People in ancient times was more complicated than modern people thought. He’d not even passed twenty years of age and thought that the entire world’s women wanted to approach him in order to covet something from him.
Wei Wei smiled as she stretched and while doing so, threw ten taels of silver on the tabletop. “This is a gift as thanks. Much thanks to Young Master Jing for helping me to mediate, see you.”
The young man paused. She’d just called him Young Master Jing...
