Chapter 540 (1/2)

Working Alone (1)

“Your Majesty, why are you so sure he’ll come back for me? With the current situation, he should be running far from here. His disguise has been found out, he will never come back…” Li Yue frowned, as if thinking it was impossible.

Privately, she was a little disappointed too. She felt like if it wasn’t for the task he had to accomplish, he would definitely not come back for her.

“I believe he will return. He hasn’t gotten your Tianji Armour yet, he will come back- he’s just that kind of idiot- he won’t stop until he gets what he wants,” said Zhao Yarou with a smile, shaking her head and staring up at the night sky.

“??” The crowd looked at Zhao Yarou in confusion, Li Yue even more puzzled.

To everyone, Ye Lang was a clueless kid who didn’t care about anything. How could he be the person she was describing? A person who would never give up until he reached his goal? That wasn’t Ye Lang, was it?

Why did she think so? We don’t understand at all…

Her Majesty must’ve mistaken…

“Is that true?” Li Yue muttered.

“I don’t mind you all doubting my speculations, just wait and see. Also, you are all allowed to hurt him, it’s fine if he’s half-dead. But he must not be killed.” Zhao Yarou’s tone turned icy as she reached the end of her sentence. They knew that if anyone disobeyed her orders, they would definitely die.

Or maybe the consequences would not be as simple as death.

Based on what she just said, no one thought Zhao Yarou even cared about Ye Lang. If she did, why would she not care about his wellbeing?

But if she didn’t, then how would one explain what just happened? How would you explain the fact that she organised a party to meet him, her happy smiles with him, the different attitude she had towards him?

Was all that really just to catch Ye Lang? Perhaps that was it… but it still didn’t seem right.

So what if that didn’t seem right? Saying Zhao Yarou cared for Ye Lang sounded more wrong. They were sworn enemies!

“Yes, Ma’am.” Li Yue straightened her posture, answering with the air of a subordinate. In front of Zhao Yarou, she was indeed just another subordinate. She was just a little distracted because of Ye Lang.

Even if Zhao Yarou was wrong, and made wrong arrangements, she still had to obey without objection.

“I’ll remind you once again: you must bring him back alive. If that is not possible, let him escape,” said Zhao Yarou.

“??” The crowd did not understand. They understood the part where she wanted him back alive, but the second part was confusion. Usually, people would rather kill their enemy so other people would not get him.

Perhaps because Ye Lang’s identity was too special here. If any party killed him, it would only trigger a lot of trouble. And not everyone could afford to face such consequences.

Yeah, it must be because of that.

No matter what Zhao Yarou was thinking, it was a hundred percent confirmed that she wanted to hide her men near Li Yue for an ambush. She engaged many masters for this mission, similar to the number of skilled fighters she hired for her birthday party.
