Chapter 88 – Cousin (2) (2/2)

“Idiot!” Ye Lang’s cousin in one move embraced Ye Lang in a hug. “You are such an idiot!”

“??” Ye Lang didn’t understand. What was wrong with his cousin, why did it seem like she was very moved all of a sudden?

Even though he didn’t understand, he didn’t try to understand, because he thought being hugged like this was very comfortable.

After a very, very long time, the two of them didn’t even know how long had passed, they finally parted!

“Cousin, do you want me to do it for you now, we can go play after and you won’t need to wear a veil anymore.” Ye Lang said after they parted.

“Let’s go play now, we can wait until night to do it. Either way, even if it was healed, I would still have to wear a veil here anyways…” His cousin wryly smiled.

“Why? Are you too ashamed?” Ye Lang asked, puzzled.

“Sometimes I really want to rip your mouth off!” His cousin angrily said. “Even though your meaning isn’t quite right, but there is some truth in that statement, your cousin cannot be seen here.”

“??” Ye Lang’s face was full of confusion and at this time, he appeared to remember that his cousin would not wear a veil only in front of him and a few others, in front of everyone else, she would always wear the veil.

Ye Lang at the start had immediately thought this was because she didn’t want others to see her scar, so she covered everything up, now he thought that didn’t seem quite right.

His cousin only had to dress up a little in order to completely cover the scar, which would allow her to show her beautiful and charming appearance. Dressing up was easier than using a veil, if that was the case, why go the extra step?

Ye Lang hadn’t finished thinking when his cousin pulled him out to play and quickly forgot this matter. He was just that kind of person, some things he wouldn’t understand if no one explained them to him clearly, and if he didn’t understand, he wouldn’t think about it too much, he would selectively forget!

“Idiot, there are even people chasing behind you, who knew you would be so welcomed here.” Ye Lang’s cousin panted out of breath, she had already pulled Ye Lang along for who knew how far.

She didn’t think that the two of them going out to play would encounter this kind of situation.

At that time, when the two of them stepped out the front gate, there was a horde of “ambushers”. Everybody in the surroundings rushed out and surrounded the two of them.

At that time, Ye Lang’s cousin had directly drawn her sword and prepared to cut up those people. She thought they were there to ambush the two of them!

Afterwards, she discovered that these people were actually there to look for her cousin. They weren’t there to ambush him, but were waiting for him to come out so they could beg him to take out more alchemy items from his ring.

These people weren’t strangers, they were actually the Imperial alchemists that Ye Lan Yu had chased away!

Of course, these people were only regular alchemists, they were of lower rank. The leaders had already left and ambushing was something done by the lower ranks.

Ye Lang wrinkled his eyebrows and straightforwardly said: “You guys go back and tell your leader, as people, you ought to understand contentment, what I could give you I have already given you, the rest is up to yourselves! If you can understand these crucial points, you wouldn’t need to ask me anything else!”

“Thirteenth Young Master…”

“Guards come, stop these people, don’t let them get in my way.” Ye Lang directly commanded the Ye Family’s guards to stop the alchemists who wouldn’t give up until Ye Lang walked far away.

Yet Ye Lang and his cousin didn’t think that as soon as they left the encirclement of alchemists, they would attract another encirclement! The encirclement of the whole city, an encirclement of people ranging from commoners to nobles!

“Thirteenth Young Master! Thirteenth Young Master! Everybody quick, come look! It’s the Thirteenth Young Master…”

“It really is the Thirteenth Young Master…”

“Hurry, don’t let the the Thirteenth Young Master run, he still owes us a meal!”

“That’s right, Thirteenth Young Master don’t leave! You haven’t told us your story yet…”

………………..

Just like this, Ye Lang was surrounded. Under these circumstances, Ye Lang used an expression of smelling a stinky fart to say: “Forget the story, you guys are here because you all want to know my alchemy, in truth, this is just 1% talent and 99% hard work!”

[TL note: I think Ye Lang is trying to quote Thomas Edison here]

You work hard? This seemed a little reasonable regarding Ye Lang and alchemy. He definitely put in some work. Only………..

Did you really use 99% hard work? It would appear that you just run around a bit more than everyone else, going around being prodigal everywhere. It’s also because of being prodigal that you would have more opportunities to experiment than everyone else and achieve the results you have today.

So in conclusion, your success was 3 parts talent, 1 part work, and the rest was all thanks to being prodigal!

Ai, who knew that being prodigal was a way to increase strength? This was the first time this had occurred, it wasn’t guaranteed to be the last case, but it was definitely the first, and it was only the Ye family’s Thirteenth Young Master who could create this kind of legend!
