Chapter 452 (2/2)

“Huh?! How will we make a living then?” Ding Lin was troubled.

“Go look for Liu Feiyan and then rest, tell them what happened. They will help you.” Ye Lang replied simply, “Remember, today is your only chance!”

“Are you the one chasing us away?”

“No, I’m not. If it were as easy as that, the situation won’t be as bad as it is now. Now leave!” Ye Lang denied.

“Then who is it? The Li family? Aren’t you in a more precarious situation then?” Ding Lin was truly concerned.

“No, it will be the empress’s people.”

“Her Majesty the empress? Why?” The girl did not understand.

“I don’t know!”

“?! Wha-what?! You don’t know?” Her expression turned to shock.

“Yep, I have no idea.”

“How is it that you know she will come then?” the entire situation did not make sense to Ding Lin.

“Sigh. It’s just a feeling. We cannot use logic to predict what that crazy woman would do.” Ye Lang shook his head.

“......”

“Fine, I’ll leave. I can’t afford to attract too much attention.” Ye Lang led Little Zero out as he left, leaving behind the confused audience.

Do we leave, or was he just a crazy dude? The audience wondered, including Ding Lin.

Most decided it was nonsense because of how the kid fled the scene immediately. They believed that as long as the Li family was here, there wouldn’t be a problem.

After all, they could not imagine the empress being involved, and the gruesome torture methods she prepared for them. The poor fellas will soon regret not leaving…

But of course, there were still a fair number of people who left, including Ding Lin. Amongst them, some thought Ye lang was convincing, while the rest merely followed Ding Lin blindly. Liu Feiyan would have a new batch of talents under her wing...

“Teacher, what’s up with the ears and tail?” Little Zero stroked them as she spoke. The audience was now gone.

“It’s fake. You can do it with alchemy too…” As he started mumbling, Little Zero’s heart fluttered. This was what she’d always wanted, to be his sole disciple, to learn from him.

Ye Lang flagged a horse carriage for themselves and set off for the Hundred Beast District. Never did he expect himself to return to Athena so soon, but with all the things going on, he needed someone to take care of Little Zero.

He didn’t think of calling the Coldblood group to come get her either. The Coldblood Group must have their hidden contacts here, they were a mysteriously powerful team.

What he wouldn’t have expected was that Little Zero had always been closely watched by the Group too. They would never let her out on a mission alone and were there to save her in case she was in danger.

However, Ye Lang’s sudden appearance greatly confused the members who were hidden away. They were troubled at the identity of the mysterious saviour.

Soon after Ye Lang shook off the crowd, unbeknownst to him, he also shook off the Coldblood Group. This was what he was best at after all, he could disappear right under anyone’s nose!
