Chapter 311 (1/2)

The Pretty Thief (2)

Did this mean there had been a misunderstanding?

Ye Zhiqing started to suspect, started to wonder. She very quickly composed her thoughts to realise there was a possibility for a misunderstanding. She might have been misled by the people outside.

And at the same time, the Light Riders were thinking the same too. There was something wrong with Ye Zhiqing’s requests, she didn’t seem like she was here to look for trouble either!

They were each looking for an explanation, the other party’s explanation!

Of course, before all explanation, the first request was made by the Light Riders was for her to let Ye Lang go. If there was an accident while he was still in her hands, then there would be a huge problem.

Ye Zhiqing knew she obviously wouldn’t let Ye Lang go. There was only a possibility of a mistake, but what if it wasn’t? She had to hold on to this person!

As a gesture of sincerity, she softened her grip on Ye Lang. Keeping one hand around his wrist, the most dangerous part, the sword, was moved away from his neck- but still rested on his shoulder!

“Excuse me, are you all Light Riders?” Ye Zhiqing asked, looking at the riders with Ye Lang in her grip.

“Yes!”

“From the Sacred Teachings?” she had to confirm.

“…” Was that necessary? Other than the Light Riders of the Sacred Teachings, were there any other types of Light Riders in the mainland?

It wasn’t as if the Sacred Religion banned the usage of this name. It was the law across the mainland, where every mercenary group had to have a unique name, no names shall repeat.

“Hey hey, leave your greetings for later, let me go. Sister, I’m begging you,” Ye Lang pressed his legs together, jogging on the spot as if he was about to pee immediately.

“Oh…” Ye Zhiqing grunted, then let him go.

“Eh, why did I call you ‘sister’? Whatever, you all talk, I’ve gotta pee…” Once he was released, he immediately ran off.

A second later, Ye Zhiqing realised what she had done.

She didn’t understand why she did it, that she would let her hostage go. Why? Why was it like magic, when he called me ‘sister’? Why did I listen to him?

She didn’t let him go voluntarily, she wasn’t that dumb to release a very important trading piece. She wasn’t sure why she did it, as if she’d done it out of habit.

It felt very familiar too, and it was this feeling that made her listen to him.

Soon after, after the mystery was solved, she would come to realise that this was her cousin!

As for Ye Lang, he didn’t give out his ‘sister’ title that cheaply. Forget about strangers, he wouldn’t even call people he knew very well ‘sister’!

Even he didn’t know why he suddenly called Zhiqing ‘sister’.

He didn’t care because he was in a hurry…
