Chapter 561 (2/2)

“What’s there to not understand? Well, if other people know you, Li Yue, are here, they’ll know I’m here, and we match their stories. Actually, if I use a fake name, everyone would not think of me from the rumours…. you’re Li Yue but there are many people called Li Yue in this world...

“They think I would use a fake name but you’ll use your real name… then they’ll think we’ll both use fake names out of convenience… with you using your real name, it’d probably drive away suspicion instead!” Ye Lang explained, this was exactly what Li Yue was thinking.

“You’re right! Looks like you can be quite smart sometimes.” Li Yue stared at him and felt like he could be quite intelligent if he wasn’t clueless.

“Of course!” he said proudly.

“Not shy at all,” she huffed.

“What’s ‘shy’? I do not know what that means,” he said casually then started eating. Li Yue too, the both of them ate leisurely then sipped tea and chatted.

“Ye Lang, we should leave,” she said after a while. At this point, she felt like those people would have almost caught up by now. It was going to be very annoying soon.

“Leave? Where? Aren’t we going to stay here for the night?” he asked as if nothing had happened.

“...” Li Yue was speechless. “We can’t stay here, those people will come to take revenge. Although we’re not afraid of them, it’s going to be a lot of trouble, it’s going to delay the journey!”

“Oh, is that so? Let’s leave then,” he replied.

“Good!” she nodded.

She suddenly felt like things had turned weird. She was the one who was kidnapped, why did it feel like she was helping him finish the mission now…

“You’re leaving? You really think you can leave?!”

Just as they arrived at the entrance, a group of people were already there, blocking off the entrance. They were here, though the two did not know who these people were.

“Yep!” Ye Lang replied.

“...”

It was a rhetorical question…

“You can try, I’ll watch and see how you’ll leave this place,” a leader said cooly, standing right in front of them.

“I’ll be leaving with my lion. Busboy, bring my lion here!” Ye Lang answered his question.

His answer made the man’s expression change. They felt like Ye Lang was patronising and it angered them. “Boss, this kid thinks he can joke with us! You must take revenge!”

“Eh, your arm’s recovered? Looks like you have great doctors here.” Ye Lang recognised the speaker to be one of the soldiers who got his arm chopped off.

“Hmmph!” the soldier grunted, his face filled with contempt.

“You think this is it? You’re wrong! With this connecting method, your arm will only partially recover its strength. You’ll be able to carry out daily tasks but to wield your knife and kill people? That will be impossible,” Ye Lang said as he looked at the soldier.

“That’s bullshit, what do you know? Our army doctor said as long as I rest, I’ll be good as new soon,” the soldier said immediately. It was obvious his doctor did not tell him the entire truth.

Perhaps it was to give him hope. The doctor did not want his patient losing hope.
