Chapter 34 – Blade of Tai Ya (3) (2/2)
“Hmph, praising me half-heartedly again. I’m going to go bathe now, you just sit here and don’t move.” Tigress snorted lightly, seemingly a bit unhappy with Ye Lang’s way of praising her, and ordered him not to wander off, before entering into the house to go bathe.
“Oh, got it.” Ye Lang replied very naturally and continued on with reading his book, enjoying this moment of serene.
After a good while, a young lady rushed into the courtyard from outside, and chopped on Ye Lang’s head as she asked: “Little brother, what did you hire a mercenary group for, the mercenary group has already come to our house, just what do you want to do? You couldn’t be trying to be prodigal again, and playing around right?”
Needless to say, this young lady was Ye Lan Yu, and according to her experiences, all of these kind of similar conducts of Ye Lang, most of the time, would belong to him being prodigal, purely just his prodigality.
Ye Lang oddly went into a daze for a while, then slowly lifted up his head and continued being in a daze as he looked at Ye Lan Yu, as if he was thinking about something.
At this time, Ye Lan Yu still had not discovered Ye Lang’s odd behavior, and continued saying: “It must be like this, if not why would you want to hire Anna Mercenary Group. They are one of the top 100 large scale mercenary groups in the entire continent, and moreover, one of the few mercenary groups which consisted of only females. Little brother, your motive is not pure oh……”
“I am pure.” Ye Lang replied blankly.
“……” Ye Lan Yu remained silent.
“Little brother, what are you trying to do this time. Not only did you hire them, you also requested for them to dispatch their entire group, there should not be one person less. Since you hired them for an escort mission, just what is it that you want them to escort?” Ye Lan Yu was somewhat unable to grasp the situation, the situation made her feel very muddle-headed.
From her understanding, Anna Mercenary Group had received Ye Lang’s commission request 2 months ago, but only now did they show up to do the escort mission. This was also not because they were too busy, but because that Ye Lang’s request was a bit weird.
Ye Lang’s request was that he wanted her entire mercenary group to carry out this mission. It must be the entire group, and the time was of no issue, he could wait for their entire group to gather together.
The mercenary group only knew that the mission this time was an escort mission, and as for the other details, they completely knew of nothing at all. Originally, for this kind of thing, mercenary groups would normally ask clearly about the situation, then afterwards they would look at the situation, before deciding on how many people to dispatch. They would not dispatch the entire group. Even if the client wanted the group to dispatch the entire group, they may also not agree to it. But they agreed to it this time, just because the commission fee which Ye Lang put forward was just too generous. An amount which would make any mercenary group not be able to reject it at all.
Right now, they understood one thing clearly, which was that this Ye Family‘s thirteenth prince was indeed worthy to be called an ultra-prodigal son, completely not treating money with seriousness at all!
“You sure that this is not one of your new tricks to be prodigal?” Ye Lan Yu looked at Ye Lang who was in a daze, and asked very suspiciously.
Although Ye Lang was much more peaceful for the past 3 months, and practically did not go out to be prodigal at all, and also did not do any things which were off the scale, but the impression he gave to other people was just too strong. Thus, making it hard for others not to suspect that this was a new trick which he came up to play with, making others suspect that the treasure which he wanted to be escorted was not a treasure at all.
Moreover, Ye Lan Yu had been by Ye Lang’s side since they were little, and she felt that he absolutely had nothing which needed to be escorted. This was because he did not have anyone to escort to. Since he was born, he had always been in the Imperial Capital, and did not have any contact with the people outside, so how would he have anything that he needed to send off somewhere.
“No!” Ye Lang seemed to have sobered up, then afterwards used a tone which brought forth a faint feeling of being worried: “This time is not for playing, it is for a serious matter……”
