Chapter 73 – The emperor’s puzzle (2)

Translated by Magpie

“That is because the emperor used a reason to give a puzzle to his children. In this way, he wants to find out whether his children are wise or not.” Brother Seven said.

“Oh, got it. Let me think about it …” Ye Lang nodded and said.

“Take it easy, but we only have three days!” Brother Seven felt embarrassed to urge him to figure out the answer.

“I understand, and I will try to find the answer as soon as possible.” Ye Lang waved his hand and said.

“Don’t forget, please …”

“Stop talking about it, or I will immediately forget it!!”

“…” Brother Seven immediately shut his mouth.

…

The goal: To not let anyone walk on the ground of a bustling street!

Conditions: Don’t destroy the ground, put anything on the ground, or block off an area…

Under these conditions it was almost impossible to achieve such a simple goal. Brother Seven and his fiancee could not work it out no matter how hard they tried, so they turned to Ye Lang.

They turned to Ye Lang because he was not only an “alchemy genius” but also a lucky dog. They thought they might pass the test because of his good luck.

Ye Lang’s brother even believed that even if Ye Lang failed to find any solution and there weren’t any changes, as long as he participated, people would stay away from that area magically.

Goddess of good luck, you must help your baby this time. Don’t go away!

Brother Seven thought because the time was not fixed, they could choose a period of time when no one passed there if they would be lucky enough.

They also understood that even if they chose such a period of time, the emperor might still send someone there to pass by, or some other people, and not let them pass the test so easily.

And they had thought about how to keep people away in this fixed period of time, but had never considered how to do so at the peak time.

In the evening, Ye Lang told brother Seven that he came up with a solution…

“What? You plan to let the emperor come at the peak time? ” Brother Seven asked with great surprise. As it was mentioned above, he never thought about how to do so during that period of time.

“Yes, the more people, the better. We may fail if there are few people. In addition, we should choose a period of time during the day when there is enough light.” Ye Lang nodded and replied.

“Why? I have to remind you that we can’t do anything, how are you planning to keep them away from that area?”

“Who told you that you can’t do anything? If nothing can be done, why does the emperor give this test?”Ye Lang smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I will satisfy you. If I fail, we still have two days. Our time is limited but we can keep on trying.”

“That’s true…” Brother Seven nodded and replied. All the tests given by the emperor were the same, they had to be completed within a limited amount of time, but you could try as many times as you wanted!

The next day, the emperor, as well as his escorts, dressed casually and reached the most bustling street. They stopped in the most crowded place and waited for the answer.

“Are you sure you want to try in this place at this time?” The emperor frowned and asked.
