Chapter 542 (2/2)

No matter what, this meant that Athena was not just a supporting character to Ye Lang. She was important- or at least, he cared about her safety.

This was probably the best thing that came out of the situation, to Athena because there weren’t many people in this world whom this clueless idiot cared about.

Such extra kindness didn’t come from nowhere. She’d been looking after him along the way, helped him with his plans… He knew to repay her after all this too.

“But…” Athena and the other two were still worried.

“Don’t worry, I escaped from what just happened! Now that I’m more prepared, it’ll be easier. Believe me, no place in this world can hold me,” said Ye Lang with a smile.

“What do you plan to do?” asked Athena.

“You’ll know when it happens, you’ll receive updates. When you do, remember this: do not behave any differently,” reminded Ye Lang again. He did not want them to find Coldblood Five and Athena.

“Please be careful, look for me if anything happens. No matter what, I will help you.” With a long look, Athena finally agreed to let him work alone. She didn’t want to but she could feel the resolution in his tone. She could not stop him even if she wanted to.

“Little Five, don’t even think about following me.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t. If anything happens, I’ll do my best to save you. If you die, I’ll kill everyone who was involved,” said Coldblood Five coldly with no emotion like it was nothing.

Coldblood Seven and Ye Lang were already used to this. They knew this was her personality, she would speak like that no matter how serious the situation was.

Athena was not used to it at all. She stared at her questioningly.

“Alright, it is settled then. We’ll go our separate ways. Go do your own stuff tomorrow, I’ll deal with this within a few days. I don’t want to drag this matter any longer, I want to treat Tigress’ father as soon as possible,” said Ye Lang, staring up at the sky.

“Alright,” answered the three girls. Then, they disappeared into the darkness back to where they came from. From that moment on, until all of this was over, they would not do anything related to Ye Lang.

Right now, Ye Lang was left alone. This wasn’t a bad thing to him. Instead, he had more freedom this way.

“What will he do? Look for Li Yue? Or return to the Ye Residence?”

These questions would plague Athena over the next few days, she felt like both were equally possible. Both routes were difficult too-- though perhaps talking to Li Yue was more challenging.

Yep, Zhao Yarou did not know there was another set of Tianji armour in Ye Lang’s alchemy laboratory or she would’ve sent more men to the Ye Residence, plus plant hidden fighters as strong as the ones around Li Yue at the mansion.

No one knew of this though, all their focus was on Li Yue. Li Yue was the bait to lure Ye Lang into the open, their efforts and eyes were all on her.

That was why taking the Tianji armour from Li Yue would be a lot more troublesome.
