Chapter 755 (2/2)
It had already been eleven days, which meant he had around three days. How could he make it to the ancient ruins in the Imperial City of Soaring Sky within three days?
“Where’s the person who passed the message?” When Ye Lang saw that everyone had fallen silent, he knew there wasn’t a solid interpretation of the deadline given.
“Here! It’s me!” A girl about Ye Lang’s age rushed forward. She was one of his cousins and he was familiar with her.
“Cousin, tell me exactly what Zhao Yarou said,” said Ye Lang.
“She said: Tell that idiot to get himself here. I don’t care if he flies, he must land here in half a month. If not, he’ll see,” imitated the cousin in her tone.
“Ugh! This psychotic woman! She’s obviously playing me! You want me to fly? Fine, I’ll fly!” scoffed Ye Lang, annoyed.
Everyone now understood that Zhao Yarou had really given him an extremely short time frame to rush over.
“You still can’t arrive in such a short time span, even if you fly! She’s playing you, there’s no sincerity in this at all! You shouldn’t go, I don’t know what she’ll do to you,” said the seventh princess wistfully. She was worried for Ye Lang but also embarrassed about the situation with Zhao Yarou.
Zhao Yarou was still her younger sister after all. No matter what, she still felt very bad for what her sister had done to the Ye family and Ye Lang.
Ye lang shook his head. “It’ll be alright. Your little sister is so weird, she didn’t actually state what will happen if I didn’t arrive in half a month. This means she knows I’ll be late. It doesn’t matter if I don’t arrive by the deadline, just that she’ll use this against us during negotiations and might even do something to Eldest Brother and Second Sister.”
“...”
Everyone mulled over his words. They now understood what Zhao Yarou meant but there was one more thing.
“Ye Lang, why does it seem like you know her so well?” asked the seventh princess, confused. Everyone was staring intently, wanting to know the answer.
“Of course I must know her well. If I don’t, she would’ve captured me a long time ago! You don’t have to know your friends well but you must know everything about your enemy. You must know them better than you know yourself,” said Ye Lang directly.
“Uh…”
He made sense. Not knowing your enemy well could result in disastrous consequences.
“Alright, since she wants me to be late, I’ll be early on purpose. I shall fulfil her request and fly over there. Three days, it’s enough!” said Ye Lang. Then, he left hurriedly.
“Have you gone mad? Three days! How could you make it in time?! Also, you should be going in that direction, why are you going back?” yelled Ye Lanyu.
