Chapter 522 (1/2)

Leaving Is The Best Solution (4)

“Not bad, Li Yue! Your skills are getting more and more amazing! With you here, I don’t have to worry anymore.”

You’re shameless enough to say such a thing? His skin must be so thick! If I were you, I would’ve slipped off with my tail between my legs!

“Thank you!” Li Yue blushed again, savouring his praise.

Love must really make people blind. You still like him after what just happened? You should leave this useless asshole!

Everyone shook their heads at her behaviour, they were sure infatuation had blinded her senses. But who knew what had happened between them? Of course she would know if he was a coward.

If he was a coward, would he have fought the First Swordsman’s son, would he have put his life on the line to save her in the forest? If he was a coward, would he have kept his cool in the water chamber, would he have saved us?

He must have a reason for behaving like this, perhaps he just didn’t like fighting!

What Li Yue didn’t know was that Ye Lang couldn’t attack, for he would expose his identity. He usually used alchemy in duels and martial arts from the treasury.

The techniques from the martial arts treasury were rare so not many people would recognise it. However, if anyone had seen Ye Lang fight before, they would immediately recognise such movements.

And there were many people here who had seen Ye Lang in action!

That was why he could not do anything! He chose an option he thought was very normal- let Li Yue fight, he would give her moral support from behind.

Yeah, moral support! He wasn’t hiding!

“Pretty boy, is hiding behind women all you know?” roared Animal Man as he charged at Ye Lang. However, he dared not force himself past Li Yue, not only because Li Yue was a lot more capable than he was, but also because he did not want to anger her.

“No, I know many things!” said Ye Lang.

“Like what?”

“Like… knowing when leaving is the best solution! Li Yue, your Li family does not welcome me, I don’t like events like this either! It’s all so annoying! Goodbye, we’ll meet tomorrow!” Ye Lang left at top speed after this.

There was no need to stay anymore. There were only annoying people pestering him, he had no chance to develop his relationship with Li Yue. They’d have to wait until tomorrow.

“Alright! See you tomorrow!” nodded Li Yue.

“Ah…”

Everyone was left in shock to see Ye Lang leave just like that. Just when they snapped out of it and wanted to run after him, he had disappeared.

“Hmmph, he’s a coward!” scoffed Li Yan and the rest.

“Li Yue, how could you be with a person like that? He’s awful! Absolutely useless!” Many people surrounded Li Yue, including the aristocratic ladies who were initially swooning when they first saw Ye Lang.

“Is he?” Li Yue merely asked with a smile. “I’m a little tired, I’m going to rest. Apologies, everyone!”
