The Anarchic Consort Novel - Chapter 430
Chapter 430: Unpredictable
Shortly after that, a huge ruckus occurred at the entrance to the long street.
Helian Jiao Er turned around to look and she saw a group of guards regally marched toward her. They then systematically cleared a path in the crowd…
The honor guard of the royal family was always extravagant.
Among them, a jet black imperial chariot was the most prominent of all.
Needless to say, everyone knew who was in that carriage.
Many could not help but guess that the Third Prince and the officials were there to handpick a brilliant and charming woman from the Capital. Could it be that he had got enough with Helian Wei Wei’s hideous look? Therefore, they were here today to select a fine woman to be brought back to the palace.
For someone like the Third Prince, only a very talented and attractive woman could match with him and only then their relationship would last.
Helian Jiao Er was thinking about the same thing. Since they did not receive any news about the Third Prince’s return from the start, hence they were surely excited to see him in person right now.
No matter what the Third Prince did to her previously, she did not mind.
As long as she could see Helian Wei Wei suffer, she would be thrilled.
Maybe it is just as Yun Biluo has said. Although the Third Prince seems to be distancing himself from Yun Biluo, actually that is just because he is unable to let go of what had happened back then. Nevertheless, deep down, he still cares about Yun Biluo, otherwise, why would he show up at the selection of the secondary consort? He must be hoping to see Yun Biluo being selected.
As Helian Jiao Er thought of this, she glimpsed over at Yun Biluo. The latter’s eyes were slightly red and she was exchanging affectionate glances with the Third Prince who was sitting inside the imperial chariot. Seeing that, Helian Jiao Er was assured that even if she did not win the selection of the secondary consort, Yun Biluo would win. Basically, it had nothing to do with the others…
However, she did not expect that b*tch, Helian Wei Wei would be the one to get down from the chariot after Baili Jia Jue.
Shouldn’t she be hiding in the imperial palace, afraid of human contact?
Why would she be present on such an occasion?
Helian Jiao Er furrowed her thin eyebrows confusingly. Just then, she heard Eunuch Sun announcing in a high pitched voice, “Since the last contestant has arrived, I announce that the first round of the contest officially starts now!”
This… What does this mean?
Helian Jiao Er watched as Helian Wei Wei handed an unknown number to the staff in charge.
The staff responded as if he was struck by lightning!
It was an obvious sign of bewilderment!
He was likely baffled by the fact that Helian Wei Wei would be daring enough to participate in the selection of the secondary consort when she was so unsightly. Was she here to be criticized?
After identifying Helian Wei Wei, a string of dark glitter darted through Yun Biluo’s gaze. Yet, her reaction was not obvious. She lowered her gaze and nobody knew exactly what was in her mind.
The arrival of Helian Wei Wei ignited an uproar.
Some people thought that she had always created miracles and they were burning with excitement inside.
Nevertheless, most of the onlookers still thought that it might have been better for her to stay in the palace instead of humiliating herself.
“I heard that she did not light up the crystal ball during the competency assessment in the White Academy. I’m wondering if she would be slightly more capable than before?”
“That might not be the case since she had won in the previous match. Although she really did not show martial Qi back then, it’s hard to tell this time.”
“Everyone, be quiet!” Lord Liao who was dressed in official attire stood up and gestured with his hand. “From now on, enter the small side door consecutively according to your order number to sit for the test. Those who lost shall not participate in the final selection.”
This meant that in order to ensure a speedy selection of the secondary consort, a group of participants would be eliminated right away. The remaining participants would then participate in the crystal ball evaluation in front of the audience.
At first, there was no problem up until that point. Yet, Helian Jiao Er suddenly realized that every participant with the respective number was gathered.
Which meant that woman was also here?
The strange thing was that she did not see her!
Helian Jiao Er entered the first round of tests in doubts.
No matter what, it would be delightful as long as everyone knew that Helian Wei Wei was a grotesque trash!
Due to the huge number of participants, nobody knew which courtyard each person went into.
In the end, nobody could decipher anything. It was then someone said, “Do you even need to think? The Third Princess Consort will definitely lose!”
When the little one with a bottle gourd on his back observed that his master was quiet, he rolled his big round eyes and pointed at the parchment held by the judge. “Those disqualified ones will have their names crossed out. Yet, Helian Wei Wei’s name is still there. Didn’t you guys notice?”
They… clearly did not realize!
It was due to the fact that they had a preconception that Helian Wei Wei would undeniably fail in the first round. It was an obvious outcome.
Yet, who knew!
Helian Wei Wei had not only won the first round but had retained her name on the list even after three consecutive matches?
The more they thought about it, the fishier it seemed…
Just when everyone was puzzled, the participants that would be competing in the final round had formed a line nicely on the stage in front of the audience.
When Helian Jiao Er saw Helian Wei Wei who was beside her, astonishment and doubt flashed across her eyes!
But this was great too!
She was now at Gold League Level Nine, only a level away from the maximum level!
No matter how capable Helian Wei Wei was, the best bet would be her being in the Water League!
She was familiar with Helian Wei Wei’s skills. In the competition previously, the softness that the latter had shown was surely that of a Water League.
That was why she said this was fine. With this, she would have the chance to mess around with Helian Wei Wei in front of everyone for once!
The most important thing was that even though she did not know what number Helian Wei Wei got, yet, from the name list, Helian Wei Wei was clearly behind Yun Biluo.
Everyone knew Yun Biluo’s martial Qi, it was beyond comparison, possibly she had achieved Gold League Level Ten already.
If Helian Wei Wei was to be tested after such people, the contrast would be exceedingly obvious. Everyone would think that the b*tch was unfitting for the third prince.
Helian Wei Wei would then be sandwiched in between her and Yun Biluo. That would further intensify Helian Wei Wei’s weakness.
“Elder sister, I did not expect to see you here,” Helian Jiao Er smiled at Helian Wei Wei. “But don’t you worry, Sister Yun and I will take care of you. Sister Yun, isn’t that right?”
Yun Biluo was more gentle than ever. She looked sympathetically at Helian Wei Wei as she said, “As long as it could clear the misunderstanding between me and Wei Wei, I would do anything.”
Helian Wei Wei glimpsed casually at both of them. A brilliant woman like her surely knew what the other two were scheming. Her thin lips curled into a smile. Yet, she did not further waste her energy on the sequence of the test. To her, it made no difference to be tested first or later.
However, Eunuch Sun did not want Helian Wei Wei to come after Yun Biluo. Since the martial Qi of Yun Biluo was remarkably abundant, if Helian Wei Wei were to come after her, it would be more embarrassing than usual.
But the rules of the selection were already set, hence it was impossible to change…
