Chapter 241 (2/2)

If their fire was re-ignited, then what was up with this matchmaking ceremony?

“That’s because…” Edward hesitated, then slowly said, ”she wants to use this method for her father to agree.”

“Oh, I understand! She’s the judge so she’d pick something you’re the best at, and help you cheat!” cried Ye Lang, pounding his fist.

“...How did you understand so quickly? You’re not a clueless anymore?!” Edward was speechless. He noticed Ye Lang was suddenly very sharp, to be understanding of his situation.

“When have I ever been clueless?” sulked Ye Lang, “Not only your skin turned black, your eyes turned black too…”

“Can you not talk about that?!” frowned Edward. He was struggling because of this problem!

“Okay, I won’t talk about it! Since you have Kesha, the head judge’s help in cheating, why are you still so worried? You just need to show up!”

Ye Lang was very familiar with this situation. When he was the head judge, Zhen Xiaoyan passed because he wanted her to pass. No matter how dumb Zhen Xiaoyan was, he’d still find a way for her to pass.

“Because of you! You made me black, so now I can’t even pass the first test!!” whined Edward.

“???! What do you mean?” Ye Lang asked, puzzled. Would it affect anything?

“It’s a matchmaking ceremony. They’d first look at the person. If you can’t even pass the ‘looks’ test, then you don’t even need to consider anything else!”

“I see… That doesn’t matter. Just use whatever methods you used last time!” offered Ye Lang.

“What methods? What did I use… Fuck, do you really think I was ugly?” Edward didn’t understand at first but soon understood. Ye Lang was suggesting that he’d have to look for a way to pass the test even if he wasn’t black.

“You weren’t?” asked Ye Lang stupidly.

“You’re the ugly one! As I said, I’m very handsome- at least better-looking than you!!” Edward regarded Ye Lang. Although Ye Lang wasn’t handsome, he had a friendly, down-to-earth quality. Not everyone would notice this though.

“Pfft, I’ve never been good-looking, so that means you aren’t much either!” said Ye Lang very straightforwardly.

“...” Edward didn’t expect Ye Lang to say that, he was momentarily speechless.

“Let’s forget about what I looked like. Do you have a way for me to get better? I know you have some weird medicine, and you know peculiar medical techniques. Help me settle this!! Even if it’s just temporary!!” said Edward after a while. During their journey, Ye Lang had once prescribed medicine for a very sick patient.

In his words: since he saw the person, might as well save him. He wasn’t one of those people who won’t save a dying person, and it wasn’t going to affect himself either. In reality, even if it did, he’d still save the patient.

Of course, that was someone he saw. He didn’t deliberately seek out patients he couldn’t see. There are so many people on Earth, he’ll never treat them all!

The person he saved was a very pitiful orphan. He was so sick, he collapsed on the street! At the time, Ye Lang thought the orphan collapsed from hunger, so he brought some food over and gave him some gold coins.
