The Anarchic Consort Novel - Chapter 198
Chapter 198: Why Did His Highness Choose Wei Wei
Su Yan Mo knew more than anyone that the reason Helian Jiao Er had received so much protection was because it’s rumored that she was the reincarnation of the phoenix.
Even though the imperial family was in power in Dragon War Empire, however, there were many, many affairs which, before they carry them out, they couldn’t help but carefully consider the four great clans’ positions.
This is the situation that’d been present ever since the founding of Dragon War Empire. No one could break it.
Yet after the godly monk divined that the phoenix would descend, a change occurred to the situation.
Those elders from the four great clans wanted to use the phoenix to rule the the government, so they had the godly monk extrapolate where the phoenix would emerge.
The godly monk refused. To divulge the will of heaven like this would usually bring about calamity.
No one wanted to die.
If the elders didn’t use the lives of all of the monks in the temple as hostage, the godly monk simply wouldn’t have agreed to continue.
In the end, after three days and three nights, that godly monk finally calculated the female phoenix’s birthplace, but it turned out that within that courtyard, there were two children.
The godly monk also couldn’t be sure which of the children it was. Su Yan Mo then simply pushed her own daughter to the forefront and locked up that little vile spawn in the storehouse, not letting her out again.
For the sake of performing this divination, he was forced to age ten years and no longer wanted to mind worldly affairs.
However, Su Yan Mo still couldn’t feel at ease. The only person who knew what really happened at the time was this godly monk. Only by eliminating him would her daughter become the world’s only phoenix!
Consequently, she dispatched three waves of assassinations in succession, until that godly monk was finally forced to jump over a cliff.
Right now, that old monk should’ve already turned into a pile of bones.
Certainly, now that these two children had become older and older, it’d soon be time to determine who really had the constitution of a phoenix.
Of course, Su Yan Mo felt that only her daughter could be the true reincarnation of the phoenix.
But she also couldn’t prevent something else unforeseen from happening…
Due to this incident involving entrapping a person, Retired Emperor’s mood didn’t appear very good at all, that’s why even customs from previous years were cancelled.
Everybody returned to their room, and prepared to rest.
Of course, some people still hadn’t forgotten to carry out their jobs.
At this moment, Head Abbot Fang Zhang was sitting in his room while rotating the Buddhist beads in his hands, the air pressure was a bit low. The novice monk standing outside didn’t even dare to come in.
Before him sat Baili Jia Jue. Within his apathetic, demonically cold appearance, there was even a trace of an evil aura.
That kind of evil aura was impossible to suppress even though they were in a sacred temple. On the contrary, because of this kind of environment.
It made him appear even more pure and handsome, like an immortal devil.
Head Abbot Fang Zhang inclined his face as he gazed at the young man’s two eyes.
While Baili Jia Jue also slightly lifted raised his chin, making his own gaze emit a kind of graceful indifference.
“I know that everytime you come here, you won’t say anything, but…” Head Abbot Fang Zhang’s unadorned finger pointed outside the window. “Someone is worried about you. Every year, the old person appears to come and pray for blessing on the surface, but in reality, what he’s most concerned about is still you.”
“What do you want me to say?” The unenthusiastic voice only echoed inside the room the two were in, imbued with a hint of coldness. Baili Jia Jue’s slender fingers tapped on the wood chair’s armrest, body leaning back, a long leg crossed over the other, looking straight at Head Abbot Fang Zhang. The curve at the corner of his mouth made a person think of a series of negative words, for example, haughty, cold and detached…
Head Abbot Fang Zhang closed his eyes and sighed, using his own fingers to massage his temples.
He dared to bet that all of today’s cleansing to worship Buddha, as well as meditation and recitation of scripture had been wasted, because this person that he wanted to cure, completely didn’t have any intention of listening to him talk.
For the past several years, Retired Emperor was like this every year, asking him to enlighten Third Prince.
However, Baili Jia Jue was a pool of stagnant water, a gorgeous deep pond of stagnant water.
When he smiled a smile that wasn’t a smile, that’s when he possessed the most potential for an attack.
When he looked up, it seemed as if he’s capable of instantaneously prying into a person’s inner thoughts. Conversing with this kind of person, was truly very tiring!
“For example, how has your state of mind changed recently.” Head Abbot Fang Zhang was truly out of options. “You understand very well that you’re like an armament that can explode at any time and kill people. You recently should’ve recovered your martial qi, right? Don’t tell me that there’s nothing you want to do?”
Baili Jia Jue smiled a bit. That kind of smiling expression seemed like a red spider lily opening on the road to hell, like an unstoppable wildfire. “Does killing people count?”
Head Abbot Fang Zhang almost spurt the tea he was drinking back out.
He must write this down!
Because this stinky fellow was very possibly telling the truth!
Beside his killing people, what Retired Emperor feared most was that he’d find no other joy in life.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, does this mean that his chances at deciding victory or defeat had increased!
Baili Jia Jue looked up behind him, his voice like cold, calm water. “You seem to be very excited.”
“Cough, besides killing people, do you have nothing else you want to do?” Head Abbot Fang Zhang called to mind the main question that he wanted to ask this time. ‘For example, you’re no longer very young now, right? Haven’t you thought of looking for a beautiful marriage? I heard your imperial grandfather say that you choose that oldest daughter from the Helian family, mm, today, she actually appears quick-witted and intelligent, however, haven’t you always liked white and clean, easy to bully bunny rabbits, why has your taste changed?”
Actually, Head Abbot Fang Zhang especially wanted to ask this, are you thinking of using her.
Yet a curve slowly drew open on Baili Jia Jue’s mouth, Head Abbot Fang Zhang’s scalp was numbed by his grin.
He then spoke with a voice that didn’t undulate one bit. “A good prey, how’s that related to how it looks?”
Prey?
A question mark covered Head Abbot Fang Zhang’s entire face, but this was a good response! It truly was was good response! When they sat together in the past, if he didn’t shut his mouth, he was spouting poison! (hurling insults)
Answering his question so normally, like he’s doing today, was truly too rarely seen!
Head Abbot Fang Zhang wrote at a tremendous speed, almost moved to tears!
Being able to obtain the tiniest bit of information about what this stinky fellow’s thinking, was truly too, too not easy!
“Today, I’m in a good mood, I can talk chat with you more.” Baili Jia Jue’s fingertips braced his chin, covered from head to toe with an air of arrogance and aloofness.
Head Abbot Fang Zhang was startled and immediately looked up, a little bit not daring to believe what he himself had heard!
Wait a minute…these words coming from Third Prince should probably be interpreted as the opposite!
On the corners of Baili Jia Jue’s mouth hung a smiling expression, his tone was level, if he wanted, he could almost make the listener feel like they’re bathing in a spring wind. “If I told you that I’ve always wanted to obtain a person, yet until now, she’s still out of reach, what kind of advice will Fang Zhang give me.”
“In this world is there still someone you can’t have?”
Head Abbot Fang Zhang was shocked, how strong must that person be and how much willpower must she have, to be able to refuse this face that could eat both females and males alive!
Baili Jia Jue appeared rather distressed, however the words he spoke didn’t contain the slightest bit of emotion. “That’s why I’m thinking, how about I remove her claws and directly kidnap her.”
Head Abbot Fang Zhang: “…”
