Chapter 733 (1/2)

Paradise (2)

“That’s for sure. Once I deliver the goods, he promised that he will come out and handle these matters for me.”

“But why do you guys think Ye Lang forbids anyone from entering, even if it’s for privacy? Does he really have to exclude you lot?” a man took to ask, albeit frustratedly.

If it was Ye Lang’s intention to hide its identity from the outside world he would have opted against keeping it a secret from Ye Lanyu and company. Thoughts spiralled as suspicion grew.

It was however a thought that had crossed Zhen Xiaoyan’s mind, in which she did took to clarify, she believed it was spacious enough for few more within, and she was certain that Ye Lang would not have decided upon keeping a secret from Ye Lanyu and the seventh Princess, for they never kept secrets, never had, never will.

The only explanation she could muster was that it is currently off limits for the common folk, and it was why he had decisively prevented his dearest sister and his fiancee from entering.

The reason she got from Ye Lang provided Zhen Xiaoyan with further affirmations. The alchemy formation was sealed from the outside world. Excluding goods, no one was permitted in or out of the space.

Hence, it was beyond Ye Lang’s decision if he would prefer to exclude Ye Lanyu for peace and quiet.

“Why aren’t they out yet, how long more do we have to wait, it can’t be until the end of today right…?”

Time passed very slowly. The crowd waited until the sun slowly sank beneath the horizon. Yet at that moment, Ye Lang was still nowhere to be seen. The crowd shrank as patience wore thin.

Members of the Ye clan gradually returned home, naturally preoccupied with more pressing matters and having given up on this increasingly meaningless wait!

Yet the only ones who had yet to leave were those sitting at the teahouse, their faces glowing as they chatted the day away, with no signs of anxiety seen.

Right at that moment...

“Huh? What’s with the crowd?” Ye Lang and the little princess appeared before the eyes of the many.

“…”

The crowd went dead silent, unsure of how to react to Ye Lang’s abrupt reappearance.

“You little punk, took you long enough! If you stay in there any longer I would’ve blown the place up!” Ye Lanyu hurled herself towards him and gave him a little punch as formal greeting, completely devoid of any elegance.

“Huh, what’s up? It’s not that I wasn’t eager to leave, but I have to wait for my alchemy formation to take shape, and anytime before it does, no one is allowed to go in and out.” Ye Lang painstakingly explained.

“Take what shape?” Ye Lanyu quickly followed with a question.

“The thing inside, do you want to go take a look?” Ye Lang pointed at the alchemy formation. At that point, it was still shielded from the outside world.

“It’s not much, I did some timely modifications insde...I know all of you must be brimming with curiosity by now, so why don’t we all enter together! This will be open for the public in the near future, but for now, not yet…” Ye Lan chuckled as he waved his hand and cleared the alchemy formation.

That moment, everyone in attendance was certain that they had witnessed a miracle as it happened, and they knew it was the right choice to stay back.
