Chapter 314: Was She Merely A Prey?

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

The water was receding in the secret tunnel.

Tu Sufeng stood by the stone wall, with another master who was still standing on his right.

“Old Bai, do you still think that she has not joined the Battle Spirit Forces?” Tu Sufeng stroked the broken stone wall with his finger, “Not everyone can break this stone wall so easily. She carries secrets that we do not know.”

The master, with the name old Bai, did not change his expression. Instead, he chuckled, “This girl has surprised me. Nonetheless, the test has just begun. Let’s observe further. What say you?”

Tu Sufeng deepened his gaze. “You’re right. The test has just begun, but we need to conduct an internal investigation within the Battle Spirit Forces.”

“Internal investigation?” Old Bai furrowed his brows. “Why?”

Tu Sufeng retrieved his gaze. “Someone is using our first test to allow the Demon-Transforming Beast into the academy. Besides, I have just received news.”

Upon hearing the statement, Old Bai went pale, “What is the news about?”

“Someone is hunting for the sacred beasts at a large scale.” Tu Sufeng raised his head. “We must inform the Retired Emperor about this.”

Old Bai further furrowed his brows, “Don’t forget that the Battle Spirit Forces must not get involved in the fight between the four influential families and the royal family. This is a rule that was set in the beginning. The longevity of the Battle Spirit Forces depends on its independence.”

“Do you remember what the Old Master said when he was alive?” Tu Sufeng threw a glimpse at him, “The Battle Spirit Forces are independent because it will never be influenced by other powers, never yield and do the unrighteous things.”

“Then, I don’t understand. Why are we informing the Retired Emperor instead of the elders of the four influential families? The issue will be solved more efficiently with their help.”

Old Bai’s advice was constructive.

But, Tu Sufeng had his own concerns, “There is something that I can’t reveal just yet. But, we can’t form an alliance with the four influential families on this issue,” he paused, “Furthermore, Helian Wei Wei is holding the Military Seal of the hidden army right now.”

“What?” This was the greatest surprise for Old Bai. All of them thought that the Military Seal of the hidden army had disappeared following the fall of the Helian Family. How did the seal end up in the hands of Helian Wei Wei?

Tu Sufeng’s eyes were gentle as he continued, “Before Old Master died, he said that we were both the Battle Spirit Forces and the hidden army. The moment the descendent who holds the Military Seal passes the test, he or she will lead the entire hidden army. After the Old Master passed on, the legacy of the Helian Family plummeted. After that, we have been presenting ourselves as the Battle Spirit Forces in public. Now that the Military Seal has resurfaced, we can finally end our days of misery...”

The dawn broke and the morning dew slid along the big green leaves.

Qing Zhan was standing at the front door uneasily as she looked at the sky that was slowly getting brighter. She furrowed her brows.

She was usually a calm person with little words. If she had not encountered an issue, she would not have acted like this.

Most importantly, the Princess Consort had been missing since last night.

Moreover, His Highness had sent an extensive crew to carry out a search across the whole White Academy, but to no avail.

From what the public knew about His Highness’ character when the Princess Consort was found, she would face an unimaginable consequence.

Wind whizzed past and shook the tree branches.

The lush green bamboo forest swayed along with the wind while the sunlight scattered on the sandalwood table. The rose petals were bright red as though it was stained by fresh blood.

Every minute and second felt extremely slow.

The man lazily supported his body with his arm on the table while he casually toyed with the petals with his other hand. His bright-colored eyes were glowing as he grinned icily, “Has she not returned yet?”

None of the shadow guards was audacious to speak. Only a day ago, they were greatly affected by His Majesty’s immense rage, to the extent that they felt as though their organs were bruised.

Baili Jia Jue elegantly supported his chin with his hand. While the black tassel on his sleeve concealing his disdainful grin, he scoffed, “You are telling me that you can’t even find me a person? Then, what’s the use of you?”

“Your Highness!” Shadow interrupted. He was not worried about himself, but about his master’s sudden eruption of ruthlessness.

The Retired Emperor once said that His Majesty could always do according to his own will. But, he must be stopped before he went on a killing spree.

Otherwise, the nation would be painted in blood.

“What is it?” Baili Jia Jue spoke nonchalantly and lifted up the cup next to him, then gently shook the cup. His side profile with a fair complexion was inconceivably handsome but devilish, “Shadow, your words better lift up my moods. Otherwise, get lost!”

He ended his sentence in a cold but menacing tone.

Shadow knew better than anyone else about the number of shadow guards who were made redundant by his master.

Shadow knelt down on one knee with his forehead covered in cold sweat, “From what I know about Princess Consort, she will not leave just like this before she retrieves the legacy of Helian Family. When the Princess Consort left, she appeared as if she was going to run some errands instead of leaving this place for good. If she truly has the intention to leave, she will definitely go to Second Master Hei. Yet, she hasn’t been to the Fine Compound.”

Baili Jia Jue was listening and his emotion was indecipherable. He looked into the distance and replied, “You’re right. She has always been planning to leave me and she’s not in a hurry.”

As Baili Jia Jue spoke, he wore no emotion. But, his left hand that was resting on the sandalwood table was clenched into a fist.

He gently touched the red rose before him gently and his expression turned cold.

A loud bang resonated!

The flowers, with color as fiery as the fire, implied warmth. They were now lying quietly in the corner.

Baili Jia Jue stood up and placed his one hand into his pocket. He looked at the red plants arrogantly.

Something was stuck in his chest.

If she is able to run away this time, there will be a second time.

Even if I can bring her back.

Her heart will always belong to another man.

Another thud resonated!

Baili Jia Jue landed a punch on the sandalwood table and then took a deep breath. He raised his face with an expression full of pride. He appeared graceful and devilish as usual with his long black hair that coupled with his cold yet perfect face.

She was merely a prey to him.

There were many other women who were better, more beautiful and more obedient than her!

The elegant Third Prince turned around. With his back facing Shadow, he slowly disappeared into the distance. However, no one could ignore the loneliness he carried with him.

He removed his white robe as he walked and threw it casually on his giant bed along with the white ribbon that was tied to his hand.

His eyes were as dark as the night sky, shimmering chillingly. At the same time, there was a hint of sorrow in his eyes that even he could not quite understand himself.

Fire Qilin was the closest to him. It absolutely could sense the abnormality of his emotions.

“Master, have you ever thought that maybe the woman is more than just a prey to you?”

Baili Jia Jue’s eyes were still freezing cold, “What else can she be?”

“You have never treated a prey like this before...” Fire Qilin was playing with its beautiful fur as it ranted. For instance, it was fed with plain leaves, something that even the dogs refused to eat, for an entire month.
