The Anarchic Consort Novel - Chapter 408

Chapter 408: The Dazzling Prince

The air in the yard became stagnant for a moment.

Yun Biluo lowered her face. Nobody noticed the curl on her lips.

Baili Jia Jue said, his tone was cold as ice, “What do you mean she’s gone?”

“I didn’t see the princess consort around here just now.” The shadow guard made a slight pause and continued, “Second Master Hei’s gone too.”

Upon hearing that, Baili Jia Jue clenched his fingers into a fist so tight, his knuckles hidden under the sleeves had clearly turned white.

They could hear the exclamations from the crowd, “Even Second Master Hei’s gone too?”

“Heh! In my opinion, the first young lady from the Helian family must have been terrified by the situation outside, yet she still remembered to bring along her old flame!”

Listening to the chatter of tongues around her, Yun Biluo subconsciously glanced in the direction of Baili Jia Jue as though she wanted to console him in some way. She said after some hesitation, “Your Highness, it’s understandable why Wei Wei would take such a step. After all, everyone will feel like running away from such a situation. You…”

Yun Biluo lifted her head, thinking that she would see a furious face. Unexpectedly, she was unable to read any emotion on Baili Jia Jue’s face. He was playing with the black jade thumb ring on his finger without even bothering to raise his eyelids. Nobody could tell what he was thinking.

Even Shadow was at a loss, unable to understand his master’s thought as well. He felt like it would seem, at first blush, that Miss Yun was sticking up for princess consort.

There’s no doubt that the princess consort has left. However, I’m afraid it’s not a good idea to conclude so soon since we still don’t know the real reason behind this.

But seriously, why did the princess consort want to leave though?

Baili Jia Jue finally opened his mouth to speak after a while, but it was not related to Helian Wei Wei at all. His voice sounded nonchalant and casual but in reality, one could see his long eyes spelled death. “Send out the people who wanted to leave first. And also, who told you that she fled?”

Everyone’s spine stiffened at his tone.

They did not know how his voice could be so cold.

They could not figure out why they could feel a chill running down their spines even though they would be sent out of this place soon.

Meanwhile, the know-it-all Shadow nodded his head in reply. His Highness’ words must have been words of anger at first.

But now, His Highness is really flying into a rage.

Perhaps this was all because of them badmouthing the princess consort just now?

“Your Highness!” Seeing that Baili Jia Jue disregarded all the advice, Yun Biluo’s eyes slowly turned red. She tagged along behind him at double-quick step and stepped into the room. “I know you’re up a stump that Miss Wei Wei is gone, but it has happened. Shadow has reported to you just now. When you were a child, you used to tell me that the thing you hated the most was a betrayal. I regret it all these years. If I were by your side back then, would you treat me better now?”

“Who gave you such a wrong impression?” Baili Jia Jue sneered mockingly. He casually took a teacup and played with it in his hands. It felt like he was holding a chess piece for the decisive battle instead of a teacup, probably because of his temperament. Above all, he was standing beside the window and watching with his dark eyes, like a superior waiting for the right time to take action and let the remarkable battle begin.

Yun Biluo was taken aback by his words, her face turned pale but she was unwilling to give up. “I understand that it’s very hard to earn Your Highness’ forgiveness, but anyone will get scared when they see golden light coming out from a kid’s eyes. You were too brutal back then that you were even more frightful than a pack of wolves. I didn’t abandon you, I…I was just going to ask for help.”

At that time, His Highness was fully covered in blood and looked horrifying. He was only 10 years old, but he was laughing while standing in a pool of blood. It was as though he enjoyed the massacre.

No one on earth would act that way. Only monsters…only monsters would act in that way.

However, the kid eventually became more honorable, and only then did she know that she was wrong.

But I have offered an apology, didn’t I?

Why didn’t His Highness give me a second chance!

Yun Biluo grasped the handkerchief in her hand tightly, biting her thin lips and said, “What about Helian Wei Wei? She was even more afraid of you back then, hiding herself away whenever she saw you. Have you forgotten all this?”

Baili Jia Jue stopped playing with the teacup in his hand for a moment upon hearing that.

Bang!

Something burst open the door of the academy, making a shocking noise.

Numerous infantries barged in and stood at the entrance.

Without sparing a glance for Yun Biluo, Baili Jia Jue locked his eyes on the magistrate who barged in. He was still in his cold majesty, the smile in his eyes grew deep but there was a depth of emotion behind the smile.

“It seems like I haven’t lost my temper for so long. Too bad I’m in a bad mood today…”

Upon saying that, he slowly twisted his left hands. Swift and fierce martial Qi appeared out of thin air.

The soldiers who barged in could not get a clear look at his move.

In the twinkling of an eye, all the bodies of the people who barged in exploded at the same time, splashing warm blood all over the place.

“Ahh!!” Wretched cries could be heard in the whole area. There were dozens of soldiers who self-destructed at the same time, their blood and flesh were splashing all over the magistrate who was standing from a distance.

The magistrate’s limbs were slightly trembling. He found it hard to breathe, his face went pale and his teeth were chattering. He nearly dropped to his knees on the spot!

In spite of that, he realized that he could not even move. All he could do was staring blankly at the demon-like man who was walking directly toward him.

“Lord Magistrate, why didn’t you say anything when you come to see me?” The man curled his lips into a smile and uttered softly with a hint of a smile.

However, such a smile was no better than a death spell for the magistrate!

The face before him was over dazzling. Apart from that, the feeling of oppression he gave was even more memorable than his dazzling face.

It had made his dazzling face turned cold and sharp, like a sword that was about to be unsheathed…

Right at this moment!

The deafening noise of hooves could be heard outside the door. The noise was so loud. There must be thousands and thousands of horses out there, to be able to create such noise.

The shining spears and armored horses were here!

The place was really besieged by the enemy troops, a great massacre was about to take place!

Emperor Murong was not as stupid as the magistrate to be at such a short distance away from Baili Jia Jue, he was riding on a horse several meters away.

He locked his eyes on Baili Jia Jue from a distance.

He did not want Baili Jia Jue to recognize him, which was why he covered his face with a mask. A row of archers stood before him to prevent Baili Jia Jue’s sudden attack.

But Baili Jia Jue looked at him and sneered, like a superior god or demon overlooking humans who were as tiny as ants. The surrounding soldiers somehow cowered in terror by his cold and imposing manner. “How dare you, Emperor Murong? Are you not afraid that I will slaughter your whole clan?”
