“I’m not interested in your speculations.” Baili Jia Jue turned and glanced at the little figure that was beside Helian Wei Wei. Unexpectedly, his eyes darkened and his voice became slow, he let go of Elder Wu and lazily adjusted his robes, “However, since the Princess Consort had agreed to your promise, then I’ll see what kind of preposterous possession this is.”

Preposterous?

Elder Wu held his hand over his neck and coughed violently while thinking menacingly to himself, wait till you see the shadow of the demon that will appear behind Helian Wei Wei and you won’t think that all of this is preposterous!

“Go and tell the eminent monks to chant louder.”

“Yes!”

In a blink of an eye, the mantra that was circulating the hall rang louder!

The actions of Helian Wei Wei’s fingers paused as she held onto Little Seven. Nonetheless, she still sat steadily on her seat.

Elder Wu stared at her rigid back and sneered silently. He wanted to see how long she could last!

Not to mention it was time to let the Third Prince, this fortune’s favorite child who was beside him, know what it’s like to be smacked in the face by the truth!

No matter what, he was still an elder.

Yet, Third Prince did not even bother to give him face.

Just wait and see. After finishing off Helian Wei Wei, he will proceed to finish off Bali Jia Jue!

“Your Highness, please do observe carefully,” Elder Wu said with a smile, acting as if he cared for Baili Jia Jue. “Those who are possessed would usually sweat excessively and a shadowy figure would appear behind them. We wouldn’t be able to capture the shadow but we would be able to see it with our naked eyes. Your Highness would not want to be absent-minded and miss any interesting sights.”

Baili Jia Jue looked up and slowly give him a glance.

His gaze was icy cold!

It was so chilly that Elder Wu’s scalp had turned numb from the stare and a short moment after, he heard that person’s mild voice, “If there’s nothing interesting, I’ll use Elder Wu’s head as compensation.”

It was only a few words but his utterance was as if it could lower the temperature in the hall.

Upon hearing that, Elder Wu further narrowed his eyes.

He knew from the start that no matter who became the Emperor.

The four great elders from the Elder Compound would receive power and rights that others could not achieve and they would gain respect from the people of the country.

Yet, only this Third Prince, who were immune to both soft and hard tactics, would ruin everything that they have.

That was why he made this huge decision today!

It is nearly time now…

Elder Wu paced toward Helian Wei Wei and when he saw the cold sweat on her forehead, the smirk on his face widened, “Princess Consort, you shouldn’t force yourself. It’s not even been half an hour yet. If you can’t take it, you might as well confess it yourself. No matter what you do, you’ll still be punished, so why not lighten your burden to decrease your sin?”

“Do I look like I’m forcing myself, Elder Wu?” Helian Wei Wei smiled lightly and pinched Little Seven’s hand, “I was just listening to the mantra and thought it would be best for me to use this opportunity to chant and pray for the well-being of His Highness. This is just me sweating slightly from the chanting but Elder Wu sure is exaggerating.”

“Huh, hopefully the Princess Consort was just sweating like what you said earlier. Then, I hope the Princess Consort would be willing to wait because the chanting session of the eminent monks would not end until an hour is up. I’m worried that the Princess Consort might not be able to take it…” Elder Wu was beaming when he stood up and asked for the volume of the mantra to be raised.

In his heart, he was sure that Helian Wei Wei was at her wits’ end and she was just toughing it out to no avail.

However!

As time gradually ticked away.

Helian Wei Wei really did not show any other signs other than sweating!

This made Elder Wu slightly uneasy and he lowly ordered the eminent monks.

Yuan Ming was observing at the side and he laughed wickedly, “Woman, you really are brilliant to come up with this method. I think that old man would never have dreamt the reason why you could sit here so calmly.”

“There is much more to come that he cannot foresee,” Helian Wei Wei replied nonchalantly. “I had thought about bribing those eminent monks but after thinking about it carefully, it was too dangerous because there might be the elders’ subordinates among them. If I were to bring them money, it would become an evidence to pull me down and that was why Baili Jia Jue did not do so. Besides, you and Whitey said that Little Seven was stronger than Fire Qilin. So, he would definitely block some of the eminent monks’ chanting if he’s around me. Since he can handle it, of course we should put him to use. Plus, Little Seven is far less conspicuous than Fire Qilin.”

Whitey’s voice was cool when he continued where Helian Wei Wei left off, “If Little Seven is really ‘it’, then ‘it’ is definitely not low-key at all.”

“Which ‘it’ is this that you guys have been talking about?” Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrow, “All in all, you guys think that Little Seven is that beast?”

The little figure’s ears twitched when he heard Helian Wei Wei brought up his name. Essentially, he furrowed his brows at first because he was unsure why his name was mentioned. Then, he seemed to have figured things out when he turned his small handsome tiger-like face and said in an authoritative way, “Third Aunt, do you want to have a bean paste bun?”

Helian Wei Wei: …Little Seven will only think of food no matter what it the matter is.

“Third Aunt, you don’t have to be shy, just let me know if you want to eat, I brought a lot of bean paste buns!” the little figure said as he beat his chest.

The corner of Helian Wei Wei’s mouth twitched. He appeared to have carried all the bean paste buns from the imperial kitchen and had hid them all away despite his small figure.

“Third Aunt doesn’t want to eat them, you should eat them instead.” Helian Wei Wei smiled and patted him on the head. She felt the spikiness in her palms, “Little Seven, isn’t it about time you shave your hair?”

The little figure stopped eating his bean paste bun and widened his tiger-like eyes, “Not shaving.”

“How could you not shave it? Won’t the dean tell you off?” Helian Wei Wei did not forget how strict that person was with him.

The little figure shook his head, “Third Brother took me back so I don’t have to follow the dean anymore. Actually, I knew that those uncles in the White Academy who had fought with me before would miss me.”

Helian Wei Wei: …You think too much! They would be launching fireworks to celebrate your leave!

As the adult and child was happily chatting away, Elder Wu’s face darkened!

How could this be?

It shouldn’t be like this!

Shouldn’t Helian Wei Wei be agitated and scratching her own face by now?

Why does she seem like she’s fine!

No!

Where did it go wrong?

Did the eminent monks recite the wrong mantra?

Impossible, he had compared them one by one.

Besides, the eminent monks who entered the palace this time round were the subordinates of the Elder Compound so it was impossible to have anything go wrong.

Yet, why did Helian Wei Wei not show any reactions?

Secretly in his mind, Elder Wu had a bad feeling about this…
