The night was getting darker.

At this moment, even Yun Biluo who was outside the academy sensed that something was not right. After getting rid of the guards barehanded, only then did she know that the Third Prince had taken Murong Hongtu away.

“What should we do now? We have not completed our mission.” Sweat beaded the foreheads of the other two young masters. They had been running to and fro but ended up in vain.

Yun Biluo thought for a second and came to a conclusion, “Our time is short, the involvement of the Third Prince this time was beyond our expectation, I’m sure that the dean didn’t expect this as well. Since what’s done is done, I guess we have no choice but to go back first.”

“Go back empty-handed? How are we supposed to explain ourselves when we’re back?”

Yun Biluo shot both of them a look. “Who says we are empty-handed? Murong Hongtu is not here for the auction, but to meet up with somebody. The people whom he met are not just any Tom, Dick or Harry but wealthy and reputable traders, not to mention they met up in secrecy, which means that they must be hiding something. As long as we reveal this to the board, then our mission will be considered complete.”

“Oh yeah, why this didn’t cross my mind!” That young master’s eyes lit up, “Miss Yun, you’re indeed a meticulous person. Currently, only the three of us know of this information, as for the rest, just forget about them, especially that Helian Wei Wei. There’s nothing she could do about it, I bet she got no news at all and she will definitely be the last on the list!”

Smiling gracefully, Yun Biluo shifted her gaze to the darkening night before speaking at a slow pace, “Since everyone feels like this is a good idea, then let’s head back now as our time is almost up.”

Two of them had no objection for sure, but what they did not know was that the one who they thought would be the last, had already made her way to the Underground Palace.

However, she was caught in an unfavorable situation.

Flickers of candle flames were swaying in the middle of the hall.

The man sitting opposite to Helian Wei Wei placed his cup down, a trace of a hideous smile lingered at the corner of his mouth upon seeing Helian Wei Wei’s empty cup. That kind of smile was spooky enough to send chills down one’s spine.

Helian Wei Wei remained still, her eyebrows knitted together.

She heard him saying, “The thing is, even though you’ve won, you can’t live to enjoy it.”

Right after his voice sank in, Helian Wei Wei’s fingers twitched for a moment and as her neck went weak, the tea in her cup was accidentally spilled over.

In an unhurried pace, the man put the cup in his hand down upon seeing this, “Are your hands and feet cold? Do you feel your head aching slightly? Well, do enjoy the poison inside the tea, my dear.”

As he spoke, he packed his stuff and prepared to leave.

“Are you sure you’re able to leave?” To his surprise, Helian Wei Wei still managed to lift her head up!

Helian Wei Wei continued, “Aren’t you supposed to be the one having cold hands and feet along with a headache?”

The man narrowed his eyes abruptly, his trembling fingers curled into a ball as he glanced at Helian Wei Wei, who was supposed to be the victim in his original plan. Subconsciously, he looked at the teacups on the table.

Helian Wei Wei chuckled, “Thinking of poisoning me with just a cup of tea? Sorry to say that you have underestimated me.”

“You...” He stretched his hands out, reaching for Helian Wei Wei’s neck, but then an unbearable and intense pain radiating from his entrails struck him all of a sudden. This woman, she swapped the cups!

When on earth did that happened?

Why didn’t he realize it at all?

Helian Wei Wei stood up and looked at him indifferently. “Your acting skills are incredible, but it was the dark spot on your neck that gave you away. That dark spot triggered my doubts as Murong Hongtu’s hand has one on it as well. Thus, I suspected that whoever drank the blood of the mythological beast will have a dark spot on their body as if they have been marked. However, is the blood of the mythological beast really that good? So good that even the mentor of the Battle Spirit Forces falls for its temptation?”

“Hahaha.” The man laughed as blood spurted from his mouth, his expression started to change, showing traces of being possessed, “You have no idea how desperate the elders are to gain immortality and furthermore, the blood can also be a source of unlimited energy. My intentions of doing so were only to make the Battle Spirit Forces stronger! As for you, you are nothing but a loser ever since young, your heart is only set on men, yet you have forgotten all about the Old Master’s wishes. Instead of passing the Battle Spirit Forces to a person like you, it will be much better for me to lead this invincible force!”

Helian Wei Wei smiled, her tone was full of mockery, “Sounds pretty noble, but the truth is, you just want to own the entire Battle Spirit Forces, end of the story.”

“So what? The capable can do more work.” His eyes reddened, “I have been putting all my heart and soul into the Battle Spirit Forces. I am the one contributing to all the great achievements of the forces. It’s all because of me that they are what they are today. So who the hell do you think you are?”

Helian Wei Wei parted her lips and said, “It’s all because of you? As far as I know, the reason that the Battle Spirit Forces was able to maintain its state of peace for all these years was not because of you but was because of the dean who dealt with all the families. Apart from your excessive vanity, you couldn’t cope with the pressure anymore, and this pushed you into being a double agent for the four influential families. I know the reason that you can’t wait to get rid of me is not just because of the orders from the four influential families, but also due to your reluctance to pass the managing authority of the Battle Spirit Forces to someone else after holding it for years.”

“You’re right.” His fingers were pressing on the table, supporting himself as he sneered, “Your dean is a capable man indeed, but unfortunately he is too blindly devoted to his job. All this while he intends to pass the entire Battle Spirit Forces to you just because he owes Old Master his life after he once saved him. Sigh, what is a silly little girl like you capable of?”

Helian Wei Wei’s expression remained calm upon his doubts, but what she said next was infuriating, more than enough to drive someone mad, “And yet you lost to the silly little girl whom you have looked down upon. So can you see what an idiot you are?”

As expected, the man’s face contorted with rage upon hearing what she said. He dragged his poisoned body and threw himself toward the direction of Helian Wei Wei.

Helian Wei Wei narrowed her eyes, preparing for the fight.

Bang!

The man was hit by a stick flying out of nowhere, sending him flying to the ground.

Helian Wei Wei looked back and saw Tu Sufeng walking toward them in his long shirt and green robes, his phoenix eyes glowing with malevolence.

“Why on earth are you here?” He vomited a mouthful of blood as he looked at Tu Sufeng in disbelief. He thought he had set Tu Sufeng up to leave town.

Tu Sufeng’s aura tended to tense people up when he was not smiling. “After getting along for so many years, it seems like you don’t understand me at all, but I understand you well. Think about it, why would I let you know that Helian Wei Wei holds the Military Seal? It was a test and you... you disappoint me.”

“You’re saying that you were here all this while and never left town!” His eyes were jerking, the realization started to sink in as dissatisfaction rushed through him. “Tu Sufeng, you tricked me, how dare you!”
