Chapter 314 (1/2)

Reanimated Spirit (2)

The seventh princess didn’t laugh not because she didn’t want to hurt Lanyu’s feelings. Usually, she would’ve laughed harder than anyone else. This time she couldn’t because she was involved.

Ye Lanyu said ‘we’ so Ye Lang’s ‘violent and unreasonable’ was also meant for her…

“...” Ye Lanyu’s face turned red. She wanted to pinch him to death! How could he insult her in front of everyone again!

“Cough, Zhiqing, please continue. Ignore them!” said the princess to temporarily cease the matter.

“It was like this…” Ye Zhiqing briefly explained what had happened, starting from why she was here.

“...” Ye Lanyu and the seventh princess gave each other a look when they heard why. They knew they were partially responsible for this because they’d forgotten everyone else once they saw Ye Lang.

That as why while Ye Zhiqing talked, they also sent a messenger to send Strongman’s team a message, at the same time telling him about Ye Lang being here. Ye Lang was one of their team members after all.

Ye Zhiqing continued, “At that point, I knew I couldn’t fight the duke and his men alone, so I wanted to alert the people inside. That’s when I broke the gate’s roof with a dual-fireblade…”

“The Light Riders then arrived, and when they saw that I was the one who made the hole, they thought I was here to cause trouble, and I thought they had kidnapped you all…”

“And that’s how we started to…”

“That poor gate! It’s been broken twice now! But at least my signboard is still alright…” Ye Lang mourned for the gates, at the same time relieved.

“You mean the sign for the House of Confusion? I think…” Once Ye Zhiqing heard him, she started to say something meekly but mumbled the rest of her sentence.

“Sir, your signboard is here…” Coincidentally, a guard passed by. He was about to send what was left of the signboard to the kitchen as firewood.

Ye Lang looked at the four pieces from the signboard, then said, “From this afternoon?”

“No, we’ve already burned the pieces from this afternoon. This was from tonight!” The guard shook his head.

“Fuck! Which bastard did this?! What did my signboard do to offend anyone? It was broken this afternoon and now this! No, I must make another one tonight!” cried Ye Lang. He decided he was going to make another one himself.

“...” Ye Zhiqing fell silent.

“Thud!” Ye Lanyu and the seventh princess smacked him at the same time. It was obviously not to stand up for Ye Zhiqing, but…

“What’d you hit me?!”

“Who did you call a bastard?!” questioned Ye Lanyu.

“The person who broke my sign-- Ah---” She smacked Ye Lang again.

“I broke your sign, so what now? You’re calling me a bastard?!” she glared at Ye Lang.

“I didn’t call you one, I’m cursing the person from tonight, not you!” whined Ye Lang, feeling wronged.

“...” Ye Zhiqing felt even more upset. She should’ve just told him she was the one who broke his sign!

Ye Lanyu pinched his cheek, “You said ‘and’! You meant the afternoon one too?!”
