Chapter 94: He Chases, She Hides

Commerce Plaza. Inside the armament shop. Grandmaster stood up all of a sudden, looked at Wei Wei drinking tea, and paced back and forth. “It’s no good, disciple. It certainly is not so easy to dodge from being targeted by that icy fellow. What’s more, in front of so many people, you even rejected him like that. This time, he definitely will hold a grudge against you.”

“Master. Don’t worry, Retired Emperor already held Third Prince back. No matter what, I reckon he must’ve punished him.” A grandson who was so disobedient must’ve been punished. As Wei Wei was speaking, she was stroking the white cat held in her bosom. How very indolent.

Grandmaster shook his head and replied, “Girl, you don’t know how much Retired Emperor dotes on that icy fellow. Listen to Master. Let’s hide from him a bit!”

“Putting it that way…” Wei Wei seemed to have thought of something, her eyes tightened up, “Just now, he even said he’d sort me out.”

Grandmaster blew on his beard, “What did I say, and you still won’t take it seriously!”

Wei Wei yawned lazily, “How could I have thought that he would choose me. This prince really is normally too bored, so he wanted to find a bit of excitement from me, and nicely made Retired Emperor get angry.”

“It’s not necessarily like that.” Grandmaster let out a sigh, “Retired Emperor also wants him to find someone who’ll keep him company. His Highness has been too solitary in life.”

Helian Wei Wei’s hand paused and didn’t say anything.

Grandmaster seemed to be caught up in reminiscing and told Wei Wei about all the things that happened that year, including the part about how Third Prince was betrayed.

Wei Wei’s eyebrows jumped. “Master, you telling me these things, are you trying to tell me something?”

“What I mean is, if it’s not possible to hide, you can just let it be and marry him.” Grandmaster raised his head and looked at the ceiling, “In any case, you don’t have a person that you like, right? Is it possible that Murong Chang Feng is still constantly on your mind?”

Wei Wei knead her forehead, “Master, don’t use words to incite me. I’ve said it many times. I’m not interested in things like getting married.”

She finally experienced how it feels to have someone push her into getting married.

Indeed, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry (It’s both funny and embarrassing).

Anyways, she wasn’t some leftover vegetables to be sold at the market, getting ready to be marked down so that it’ll sell.

Well alright, so even though at this age, she’s already considered an ‘old maid’ in ancient times, however, in modern times, she’s still a teenager, ok? !

“Fine. If you truly don’t want to marry that icy fellow, then you now need to first leave White Academy.” Grandmaster looked at her, the light in his eyes profoundly deepened. “These couple of days, master also wants to go down the mountain, to make preparations for the grand martial qi competition not long from now. At the Flower Gifting Festival, you were in the limelight like that, it will inevitably draw people’s jealousy. I’m afraid that once I leave, at that time, something will happen to you here. I also won’t be able to rush back quickly enough to stand up for you. Moreover, from what I see of that icy fellow’s intent, he’ll come find you tonight. What’s most important is that I called you over this time also in order to have you leave White Academy for three days and go participate in an armament convention.”

Wei Wei looked up in an interested manner. “An armament convention? Master, are you talking about the armament convention where we compete in the assembly and disassembly of armaments, and also could conduct an armament auction?”

“Correct, it’s precisely that armament convention.” Zi Zun smiled. “Right now, these people mock you like this, only because you’re not a genuine armament master. Only by getting acknowledged there will you have the qualifications to be an armament master and obtain other people’s respect.”

The armament convention was an extremely important event for every armament master. This is the place to unearth talent. It’s conducted once every three years and the purpose was to allow the armament masters to unceasingly discover fresh new blood.

Zi Zun wanted Wei Wei to go and participate. Firstly, it’s as he had said, Wei Wei needed to pass through a test like that in order to prove her own ability. Secondly, the armament convention was where talents gather. Only by meeting a well-matched adversary would his dear disciple’s competitive spirit be aroused.

Allegedly, ranked second in the world, Young Master Wu Shuang would also participate in this year’s armament convention.

This son of an old friend’s someone he was previously acquainted with him. He’d completed an armament at a very young age.

In regards to being naturally gifted, he really didn’t know if the opponent was more gifted or if his own disciple was even more gifted.

Speaking of which, this dear disciple of his was simply too good at concealing herself.

Up until now, she still won’t let him tell other people about her mastery in the field of armaments.

Those elders at the academy were constantly pitying him. No small number of teachers sent people to him precisely because they felt it was easy to look down upon his dear disciple and wanted to take over her position.

Humph!

Really treating him like an old dotard who could no longer make sense of what he’s looking at.

His dear disciple was being thoughtful and didn’t want to create more troubles for him.

Otherwise, she would’ve already made an armament and lord it over them.

However, Grandmaster’s only worry right now was that he’s afraid his dear disciple would feel that going to the conference was too troublesome and refuse to go.

Speaking of this point, in this regard, she and that icy fellow were exactly alike!

He often felt as if he saw illusions. Looking at his dear disciple sometimes felt as if he was looking at that distant and aloof Third Prince.

Even within their indolence, they never lose their poise.

They looked to be indifferent, yet held heaven and earth in the palm of their hand. Figuratively speaking, with a flip of their hand they could make clouds and with another flip they could bring rain.

However, the single difference was that that icy fellow’s heart was too dark!

It’s still his own dear disciple who’s the lovable one!

Borrowing Nangong Lie’s nickname for him, that group of elders had already been scared off by ‘Ah Jue’s tyranny. With Third Prince as the baseline, he reckoned they ought to be satisfied with just about any other champion.

Seeing that Wei Wei didn’t say anything for so long, he even thought that there was no hope for this matter.

His shoulders were just about to droop.

When he heard Wei Wei smile and asked, “That armament convention, how can I participate?”

“Master has an invitation card right here!” His eyes shined and turned his body to fish out a gold invitation card. “Half a year ago, they already sent me the invitation. This card right here was snatched from Tu Tian’s* team. In any case, he has so many disciples, the armament convention also gave him many invitations, so he won’t miss this one. You can use it to get in; no one will dare to block your path.”

(*Translators note: from this point forward, Tu Lao’s name will be changed to Tu Tian.)

Wei Wei received that invitation card, but she was actually thinking about another matter. She might participate in that armament competition if it’s convenient. However, what did that auction represent?

It represented big moolah!

Such a good opportunity to make money.

As the boss of an armament business, how could she not take part, heehee.

Ah.

She’d need to bring the Hei family’s young master along in a moment, so he could act as a ‘front’ for her business.

There’s no time to lose. She certainly didn’t want to be intercepted by Third Prince before she even left for the journey.

That guy was even more difficult to deal with than she had imagined. She needed to hide first.

Let’s be clear, she wasn’t afraid of him. It’s just that provoking this kind of character was just too troublesome…

“Master, I’m leaving first.” Wei Wei had always been a person who got things done. A person like her would never let an opportunity slip. “In regards to the academy, will Master make the request for a few days of absence on my behalf.”

Grandmaster subconsciously nodded his head. Frankly, he was still a little confused. What in the world did he say to have that disciple of his, who always disliked being the limelight, instantly agree so simply and easily like that?
