Chapter 352 (1/2)

Sacred Lady (2)

“Ye Lang,” the archbishops approached Ye Lang.

“Oh, have you decided?” asked Ye Lang without even turning around. He was still staring at the crystal, deep in thought.

“We have decided for you to attempt this,” said one of them.

“Since you’ve decided, please leave the room,” Ye Lang gestured for the archbishops to leave.

The archbishops were so surprised they could only grunt, then turn to leave. Very quickly, they realised this was wrong.

“Why should we leave? We want to watch.”

“What use would you be? You’ll only distract me. Also, you might not be able to bear seeing the Sacred Lady with her injuries.”

“Oh, then we’ll wait outside at the door. Call us at once if anything happens,” said one of them. They looked at Ye Lang, then at the crystal, then walked out of the room.

“Sister, Little Seven, Xiaoyan, you all should go too. It won’t be pleasant later, I’m afraid you might not be able to watch,” Ye Lang suggested for them to leave after the archbishops left.

“Alright, we’ll wait outside too,” Ye Lanyu didn’t insist on staying at all but rather agreed very quickly. This surprised the seventh princess.

Then again, it made sense that Ye Lanyu didn’t want to see the Sacred Lady’s tattered body. It would be horrifying.

Ye Lanyu agreed not only because of this. It was mainly because she wouldn’t be able to help, and might even distract Ye Lang.

“I want to help…” Zhen Xiaoyan was the only one who was qualified to help.

“It’s alright, you should leave with them. Let me handle this, there’s no need for you to witness something like that…” Ye Lang shook his head, giving Xiaoyan a warm smile.

Zhen Xiaoyan’s heart felt warm as she saw his smile. She knew he wanted to work alone to protect her.

However, this only lasted a second. In a moment, her cheeks were puffed up…

“We don’t know if you’d faint again if you stay in here either. I won’t have time to deal with you too.” This was what Ye Lang thought. He didn’t want to have to look after another person.

“Hmmph! I’m not speaking to you!” Xiaoyan stomped her foot, then turned to leave.

“Oh, right. Don’t wait outside the door, I’ll need a very long time. A minimum of seven days, but it might be ten or even half a month.

“Do you need such a long time?” Ye Lanyu was surprised. She thought he was going to be done within a day.

Ye Lang nodded, “And that’s an optimistic estimate too. If the Lady isn’t in good condition, we might need more time.

“Won’t you be exhausted?” said the seventh princess, her heart aching.

“I don’t think so, I’ll only be controlling a few alchemy formations, and they’ll be running automatically on their own. I’ll just be watching them,” Ye Lang shook his head.
