Chapter 754 (2/2)

Long Anqi was stunned. “Just from a feeling? And what if you’re wrong?”

Ye Lang waved her off with a chuckle. “Don’t worry, my gut is never wrong! Don’t you all call me the son of Lady Luck? The old lady won’t make me die.”

“...”

Usually, Long Anqi would scold him for jinxing it with a laugh but this time, she was not in the mood to laugh.

“Also, if I don’t go, Eldest Brother and Second Sister will definitely be harmed. And if I do, they’ll be alright. As for myself, we’ll have to see. In the end, we still make a profit -- one in exchange for two,” said Ye Lang.

“...”

Everyone understood the situation, they just did not want to say it out loud. They had been forced into the corner. There must be a sacrifice. If it wasn’t Ye Lang, it would be Ye Hui and Second Sister.

And if Ye Lang went, there could be a chance. If he didn’t, they wouldn’t stand a chance. That was why they wanted to listen to his opinion.

Now, it was obvious that he was definitely going to go. He was willing to sacrifice himself for both of them. And from his demeanour, he seemed quite confident. It shouldn’t be a problem.

The only thing they could do now was to trust him. Trust that he could perform a miracle, trust that Lady Luck would still smile over Ye Lang.

But everyone still wondered why he seemed so confident…

“Why are you so sure Zhao Yarou would let your siblings go once you arrive?” asked Long Anqi, looking at him in confusion.

“Because I believe she wouldn’t make empty promises,” said Ye lang.

“Why would you believe that? She’s mad! Have you forgotten that she killed her father and his whole family?” said Long Anqi immediately, not understanding his explanation.

Ye Lang looked out into the sky, then at the empty horizon. After a pause, he said mildly, “She’s mad, she’s psychotic but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t keep her words! Based on her past actions, she hasn’t broken any.”

“I hope so then!” Long Anqi and the rest did not refute because it was true that she had not broken any promises in the past.

“Alright, tell me. Where does she want me to go? Any time limit?” Ye Lang did not care what they thought, he just needed the details.

“The archaeological ruins. She says you’ll know where it is. Not sure why she chose that place,” said Ye Chengtian.

“It’s all the same. Or perhaps she needs help with the relics in the ruins,” shrugged Ye Lang.

“I think so too. She wants your alchemy knowledge! Once she gets you, she’ll be able to defeat all her enemies! You must cheat your way out wherever you can, don’t actually do what she says!” Ye Chengtian advised solemnly, putting his hand on Ye Lang’s shoulder.
