The Anarchic Consort

“Fine.” Helian Wei Wei interrupted Ni Hu. She was calm and composed in dealing with Ni Hu’s arrogance. Her voice was not too loud, a little indifferent, but filled with a sense of strength that could not be ignored, “You said that yourself, Young Master Ni. Shadow, get the red flag. We shall let Young Master Ni get a good look at who placed the red flag.”

A figure flashed by the others’ eyes with extreme speed the moment Helian Wei Wei finished her sentence. The red flag was erected right in front of Ni Hu in the blink of an eye.

That red flag was not large so Ni Hu did not really bother when it was erected right in front of him and blocking him, his words were even showing hints of disdain, “What? Are you trying to show off by summoning that and calling this evidence? We have plentiful of tactics like this in the Ni family.”

Helian Wei Wei took an indifferent glance at him. She turned over the red flag with one hand as she pressed on the bamboo stick with her slender forefinger. She stood there ever so nonchalantly, her voice somewhat languid, “Young Master Ni, you are really thinking too much. I’m not showing you Shadow but the red flag. You should get your father to take you to see a physician in order to check your eyes when you have time. Did you really not notice these large words?”

Ni Hu was still very much pleased with himself, his chin remained in the air. He finally laid his eyes on the red flag upon hearing Helian Wei Wei’s words.

After one look, both his eyes widened and his pupils contracted quickly as if he was choking. His initial arrogant smile was frozen on his lips!

Ni Biao also took a look at the flag. It had been hung facing the right direction and it was now flipped over.

He had only noticed that there were words written on it!

There were a few strokes, but the calligraphy looked full of power and grande. Based on the fact that the ink was already dry, it was clear that the words were written there for quite some time.

In an instant!

All the exorcists exploded into chatter like boiling water!

“It’s Zhuge! The characters written on the flag are Zhuge!”

“That means that Zhuge Yun is the one who placed the red flag there!”

“So, the first team to reach the entrance of the tomb isn’t the Eldest Young Lady of the Ni family, but the Young Master of the Zhuge family?”

“Heavens! They were a whole three hours earlier than us. How did they do that?”

“I took a look at the map just now and the route they took is tougher. Apparently, they need to pass through a waterfall and who knows what’s in there. I really thought that they were going to die!”

“That’s amazing, they are truly amazing!”

The commotion arose from all four corners like floodwater.

Even Zhuge Yun himself was a bit stupefied. He stood there frozen as he was unaware that there were words written on the flag. Those two had never told him that the initials of the Zhuge family were written on the red flag!

Noticing his dumbfounded face, Helian Wei Wei did not say anything but only let out a faint smile. Her usual way of doing things was always to hold back a trick or two.

What was more, as a bossy president and Mercenary Tycoon, she was a very territorial person. So, how could she not leave her own marking when she was the one taking the lead on the mountain?

“Does that mean that the Ni family has lost?” Someone asked and looked over to Ni Hu and Ni Biao.

Ni Hu had never expected it to end like this. He had never been stared at in such a light by others and he never experienced things as such. He was only used to getting flattered by people ever since he was born. He felt his face sizzling with heat and he was seized with a strong desire to lift his sword and just get rid of Helian Wei Wei in one swing.

However, Ni Hu knew that he could not lay a finger on her, much less kill her in front of the public!

Ni Biao’s expression was also not too well. The original plan which was well within his grasp had suddenly become an issue with lots of twists, the other party had even won the first round. It was undoubtedly a slap to the reputation of the Ni family!

Perhaps he had been too soft. He should have just commanded Old Xu to get rid of these three if he had known about it earlier!

Yet, the immensely displeased Ni Biao had totally forgotten the fact that Old Xu had yet to appear.

Ni Feng stood behind Ni Biao, her willow-brows knitted together involuntarily and her pale white fingers interlaced. Although she was not involved with the issue initially, she was clear of the situation at home so she also knew what her father and her younger brother wanted to do and she just went along with it. However, she had not expected that the other party would actually beat her.

How is this possible?

She was escorted by the guardians of the Exorcising Tribe on her way here. How could they be faster than her?

The red flag marked with the characters ‘Zhuge’ made everything clear enough.

No matter how shameless the Ni family could be in arguing on their own behalf, they could no longer utter a sound after looking at the red flag!

Helian Wei Wei observed their expressions indifferently. She traced the surface of the flag lightly with her fingers and her lips were curved into a smile as she said, “Young Master Ni, you saw the evidence. Now, what’s next? Is it your turn to go down on your knees and greet us as your grandfather? Hmm?”

“You!” Ni Hu exploded with rage as he had never thought that she would dare to ask him to actually do that, “Who do you think you are? How dare you ask me to kneel down for you! Dream on!”

Both Helian Wei Wei’s eyes turned icy, her glance at Ni Hu was piercingly cold. “Are you going back on your words?”

Ni Hu was immediately conscious of the looks that everyone around him was sending his way due to her words. Those sarcastic mocking glances with a tinge of disgust caused his temper to rise once again, yet all he could do was swallow all that fury back down again!

Helian Wei Wei was never one to suffer losses, not to mention in such a situation where they were trying to humiliate her. She turned her head around and said to Ni Biao, “Old Master Ni, you were the one who said that we should stop tarnishing the Ni family’s reputation if we didn’t have any evidence. Right now, it seems like the behavior of your son is the right interpretation of thick-faced, shameless, and speaking without integrity. Old Master Ni, is this really how the Ni family teaches its members? Hehe, is ‘the defenders of the way of life’ just a slogan that you use to cheat others with?”

Ni Biao had never been pressured by anyone to such a low point, his entire face was completely green. He was so displeased that he could not even squeeze out the tiniest bit of a smile.

Helian Wei Wei continued, “I understand that we are but just a few foreign exorcists in the eyes of Young Master Ni, we have neither power nor are we able to exorcise demons so it wouldn’t matter even if we are taken advantage of. He’s the Young Master of the Ni family after all.”

Her simple sentence brought the issue to a whole new level of severity.

Bullying the weak was something unacceptable for those who practiced exorcism.

The exorcists were already having their own thoughts about Ni Hu’s actions. After listening to Helian Wei Wei, the look that they were giving to the Ni family was full of desire to battle.

Ni Biao knew that he needed to give everyone an answer or the many years he spent on building up his name and reputation would all go to waste!

Ni Hu was still arguing as he had not realized the key point, “What nonsense are you saying? When did I ever bully you?” It was clear that those two were the ones who had beaten him up in front of the Zhuge Residence!

“Our previous debts have not been cleared! Don’t you dare…”
