Chapter 627 (1/2)

Lining Up (3)

“..., Debbie, do you really like him? Why do you keep defending him?” asked Qi’er as she looked at Debbie.

Qi’er was mostly joking with Debbie, making fun of her for something she thought was ridiculous. Now that it seemed that there was a possibility that Debbie did actually like Ye Lang, Qi’er was worried.

Although she still treated him decently, that didn’t mean that she would let her younger cousin get together with Ye Lang. He’s a commoner, living with him would mean a hard life for her.

She understood that he had the potential to be something great but no one knew when that potential would be fulfilled. For all they knew, he could die not showing the world what he was capable of.

That being said, Ye Lang could also hit it big right away. All in all, she wouldn’t let Debbie be together with a commoner like Ye Lang. It was too much of a risk.

Even though it could be said that she was looking out for her cousin’s happiness, deep down she still looked down on him.

Debbie shook her head and said, “No way. He’s so mean but we can’t blame him, can we…”

To make it clear, Debbie doesn’t like Ye Lang that way, she did feel a slight attraction towards him at that time but her grudge against him was stronger. If she were given the choice, she would rather beat him up than kiss him.

Even though Debbie was rash, she wasn’t one to lie. She didn’t like it when people accused others of something they didn’t do, she would clear their name any chance she would get.

“Then that’s good… Debbie is actually right, he isn’t what you expect him to be. I could tell that he really wasn’t interested in me.” Qi’er told the curious young ladies.

“Is there really someone like that?”

“Yes. Well, there’s Ye Lang!” replied Qi’er.

She said it with so much confidence and she rarely lied so it seemed really convincing to the girls.

“Sis, I saw him. Look there, he’s lining up for a token,” Debbie said excitedly.

“Where?” asked Qi’er.

“In the commoner section! There…” said Debbie as she pointed at Ye Lang.

The commoners and nobles were separated as they lined up for their numbers. It showed the differences in their status.

There were a lot of people participating this year. It took the organisers a long time just to hand out the tokens.

The commoner section had noticeably fewer people than the nobles.

This was a usual occurrence. Although commoners were the majority in the population, many don’t participate in this event.

Most commoners joined just to have fun, they knew they couldn’t win against the magicians and warriors that were mostly noblemen.
