Chapter 387
“Have you heard?”
“What?”
“The Third Prince is going to appoint his secondary consort.”
“Really?”
“Of course, it’s real. Even the Royal List is out. I heard that the chosen one must be endowed with both beauty and talent. Miss Yun must be the first chosen one…”
“Shh, keep your voice down. Helian Wei Wei is right in front, don’t let her hear this.”
The noise around them got louder and louder. Helian Wei Wei did not respond to it, instead, she slightly slowed down her pace, and then strode into the yard where Tu Sufeng stayed.
Little Seven was not in today, and hence the place showed traces of coldness.
Yuan Ming also heard the gossiping along with Helian Wei Wei all the way. His hands were placed at the back of his head as he glanced sideways at Helian Wei Wei. That man is going to choose his secondary consort, then what she is going to do next.
If he could say so, there was not a single good man in the world.
While the man’s heart is still on you, you should get on him a few times to get your yang energy back, and then leave him.
Yuan Ming told Helian Wei Wei his thoughts.
Helian Wei Wei replied to him with two words and a slight smile, “Shut up.” She turned and went into the room.
After Tu Sufeng saw her, he put down the calligraphy brush in his hand. Hints of warmth appeared amidst his brows, “Have a seat.”
“Dean, why did you call me over alone?” Knowing Tu Sufeng, Helian Wei Wei knew he would not confuse his roles as the dean and the general of the Battle Spirit Forces unless something emergency had happened.
Hearing this, Tu Sufeng’s eyes sank. He gazed out of the window and said, “Recently, the aura of the White Academy has been unstable. The information that you previously obtained had the White Academy involved, and someone wanted to destroy the auspicious aura of the White Academy. I fear that soon it would appear here, so I sent Little Seven back to the palace. However, the others can’t know this because in the entire War Dragon Empire, including the palace, the White Academy is the place with the most auspicious aura. If even the White Academy were to have a problem, the entire world would be in chaos.”
“Dean, what do you want me to do?” Helian Wei Wei also wanted to solve the problem of the aura soon. She had been having nightmares which made her feel frustrated.
Tu Sufeng raised his gaze, and his eyes shone brightly. “You have tamed the Green Dragon, and the people who had managed to tame it is extremely rare. Do you know why the Green Dragon had been repressed in the Green Dragon Lake?”
“Isn’t it because it committed a crime, and got into trouble, so someone trapped it at the bottom of the lake?” Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows.
Tu Sufeng smiled, “So many years have passed, and the Green Dragon’s memory got a little confused, but the person who recorded the incident would never be wrong. The reason behind the long rest of Green Dragon in the lake was that it had caused too many killings and that this placed needed its protection.”
Helian Wei Wei frowned, “Protection?”
“That’s right.” Tu Sufen held the teacup, and the beam of his eyes was reflected in the water, “When it breathed fire and slaughtered the city, everything was burned with the only exception of this place. It could have escaped by dragging its heavy body, but it ended up repressed by the Mysterious Ice Iron Lock onto the bottom of the Green Dragon Lake. It wasn’t because it couldn’t avoid it, but because this was the place where its master was most likely to awake in.”
Helian Wei Wei bit her lower lip, and guessed, “The underground palace was also built by the master of the Green Dragon?”
“You’re really smart indeed.” The corners of Tu Sufeng’s mouth curled up even more, “The Divine Mainland back then was not as peaceful as it is now. The demons were rampant in the world, and the people were plunged into an abyss of misery. Humans had no status at all, but amidst such a special period, the leader of these demons was a human being.”
“A human?” Helian Wei Wei was interested, and her eyebrows were raised.
Tu Sufeng said, “Mmm, but we can’t say that he was completely a human. Some people said he was the child of a demon and human, but specifically, no one knew. What I want to say is that when he led the group of demons, he didn’t go too far because not only did he get the respect of the demons, the humans also had a love-hate relationship with him. However, some people didn’t want to be ruled, so they drove him into the Nine Abyss by combining the power of the Taoist masters. Little did the people knew that without this man, the world would be even more chaotic. Ever since then, the demons rampaged without a leader, and devoured and did evil whenever they wanted… A Taoist master couldn’t bear to see the suffering of humans, so he shed off his Divine Bones, and gathered four monks that had great power in Taoism and Buddhism. With his flesh and blood as the guide, they set up four seals that could drive off demons in each of the four directions along the Divine Mainland. This had sealed all demons beneath the netherworld for years.”
“That man hasn’t appeared until now.” Helian Wei Wei’s eyes shone lightly. “Otherwise, the Green Dragon wouldn’t have continued to stay at the bottom of the Green Dragon Lake, not going anywhere. It’s waiting for its master.”
Tu Sufeng took a glance at Helian Wei Wei as if to praise her quick thinking, “Yes, as long as that man doesn’t come back, the Green Dragon would never leave. The auspicious aura on the Green Dragon had endlessly affected the White Academy over the years. As the guardian of the palace, it was always protecting the White Academy, but now, a problem has occurred.” After saying this, he froze for a moment, and said, “Aside from the role of repressing the body of the Green Dragon, the main role of the Mysterious Ice Iron Chain was to ensure that without the presence of its master, the Green Dragon wouldn’t be affected by any aura. Once the Mysterious Ice Iron Chain is broken, the Green Dragon would become a mythical beast that could be easily influenced by the external world…”
“I shouldn’t have unleashed the Mysterious Ice Iron Chain.” Helian Wei Wei clenched her fists. She did not expect such a consequence.
Tu Sufeng shook his head, and smiled, “This isn’t your fault. As we come into this world, everything is fated. When the Green Dragon was repressed back then, it was prophesied that the Mysterious Ice Iron Chain would one day be unleashed, and the Green Dragon would soar by riding the clouds. All these would be the signs of the awakening of the man. So you shouldn’t be too guilty, and all you need to do now is to go to the Green Dragon Lake more often. The Green Dragon is still keen on drawing close to you, and… the imperial court isn’t very stable recently. I’m afraid that this will affect the White Academy, so you should pay more attention to this around Jue Er. Those two nephews of mine are always worrying,”
Hearing Tu Sufeng mentioning Baili Jia Jue, Helian Wei Wei absent-mindedly mumbled, “Mmm.”
This time, Yuan Ming listened more intently than Helian Wei Wei. His gaze landed on her face. “If you’re investigating on the resentment aura, I suggest that you bring your family’s men along.” Although he was unable to understand the Third Prince, however, as someone that could bring the Fire Qilin around, he would surely not be as simple as he seemed…
