"... You little brat, if you say I'm old again, I'll beat you up!" Ye Lanyu waved her fist, threatening Ye Lang.
Ye Lang immediately fell silent, because he knew that this was not just a threat. Ye Lanyu had proven with her actions countless times that she really would beat him up!
"Let's go. Those who want to say goodbye, say it quickly, or you won't have another chance." Ye Chengtian reminded Long Anqi, Ye Lanyu, and the others when he saw that it was almost time.
Of course, Long Anqi wanted to say goodbye to Ye Lanyu. It was natural to feel a little reluctant to part with her daughter who was leaving her for so long. She had been holding Ye Lanyu's hand the whole time.
"Xiaoyu, you're not going to talk about your brother anymore. You need to take care of yourself too!" Long Anqi said to Ye Lanyu with reluctance.
"I understand, I will!" Ye Lanyu nodded in response, then turned to look at Ye Lang and said something similar to what Long Anqi had said to her.
At this moment, the Seventh Princess, just like Ye Lanyu, was also instructing Ye Lang, telling him to pay attention to this and that...
Zhen Xiaoyan's instructions were much simpler; she only gave one order—
Remember to eat well!!
After saying goodbye, the group finally set off in a grand procession...
"Little brother, you just said you wanted to change the song, what song is it?"
"I Victorious Smile, I Victorious Smile..."
"Go to hell!!"
A few days after Ye Lanyu and the others left, Ye Lang opened an auction house. Before he could even enjoy the fun of auctioning, he was preparing to leave again.
According to the plan, he was going to the Orcs tribe in the north, and it was about time.
Since they are currently located in the south, to reach the Orcs tribes in the north, they would have to pass through the Xiangkong Empire, which is obviously not feasible. They can only take a detour, as it would be more convenient to go through the Aila Empire.
It seems that the Ye Clan and the Aila Empire have no enmity, so no one will make things difficult for Ye Lang!
Ye Lang originally wanted to travel alone, but everyone was worried and insisted on having Anna Mercenary Group escort him. Anna herself came to escort Ye Lang, the young master, to the Tiger Tribe.
Everything was arranged for the day, and all that was left was to set off.
They waited, but the most crucial condition never came: Ye Lang!
By then, the agreed time had arrived. Anna waited at the encampment for a while but didn't see Ye Lang appear. She thought it was normal for Ye Lang, the young master, to be late.
So she waited a little longer, giving Ye Lang more time!
This was out of respect for Ye Lang; otherwise, she wouldn't have waited. This is understandable, as she wouldn't have personally intervened if it weren't for Ye Lang's sake.
However, even when she gives face, there are limits. As a mercenary, she doesn't like people being late.
So, after a while, she went to the City Lord's Mansion to pick him up. She wanted to do this herself, but Ye Lang said that the two places were only a few steps apart and he could come by himself.
That's right, it's just a few steps away. Anna's location is right next to the City Lord's Mansion. It's only a two-minute walk from the gate. Of course, this isn't because they want to take advantage of the convenience, but because Ye City is so small now, they can't afford not to live nearby.
Anna walked straight through the gate, which was unguarded, and entered the City Lord's Mansion to look for Ye Lang, but she searched everywhere and could not find him.
So she went to the hall, where Ye Chengtian and the others were discussing matters. They would be busy for a long time for the city, which was in dire need of rebuilding, and they had even neglected some other things.
"Does anyone know where Thirteenth Young Master is?" Anna entered without attracting anyone's attention. Everyone continued their discussion, seemingly ignoring Anna's question.
Therefore, Anna was left out in the cold!
So Anna asked again, raising her voice. "Excuse me, where is the Thirteenth Young Master?!"
"..."
Let's continue the discussion...
Ye Chengtian and the others were arguing about something, and it was getting heated. They were all red in the face from arguing about the issue, so of course they didn't pay any attention to Anna's "little voice".
After many such fruitless attempts—
"Ah..." Anna was furious and screamed in a very unladylike manner, silencing the entire hall and finally letting everyone notice her presence.
"Ahem!" Seeing everyone looking at her, Anna blushed slightly, coughed a little embarrassedly, and then immediately asked, "Excuse me, where is the Thirteenth Young Master?"
"Isn't he with you?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, then asked.
"If he's with me, I won't need to come looking for him!" Anna said irritably.
"Is he still in the room? Go and check!" Seventh Brother replied, seemingly a little annoyed with Anna for coming here to find Ye Lang, when they were discussing important matters.
"We've searched the whole place, but he's not here!" Anna said.
"Did he forget he was leaving today and went out to play?" one person said uncertainly.
"Probably not. He said this morning that he was leaving and told us to take care of ourselves," Ye Chengtian said. "Ask An Qi; the last thing they did was talk to each other."
"Aunt An Qi, I can't find her either, otherwise I wouldn't have come here to ask you," Anna said, shaking her head.
"That's strange. Where did the mother and son go? Could it be that An Qi couldn't bear to part with her son and had him arrested?" Ye Chengtian was somewhat suspicious. This possibility wasn't out of the question; in fact, it was quite likely.
Long Anqi had always opposed Ye Lang going out alone, and she was very worried about him. She tried everything, even kidnapping her own son, which was something she was capable of doing.
"That's all for today's meeting. Now go and find that mother and son!" Ye Chengtian ordered, and the others shared the same thought.
Even if what they were just discussing was important, nothing was more important than Ye Lang. Don't forget, he's the City Lord...
Of course, this is only a very small reason and can be ignored. The most important reason is that everyone cares about Ye Lang and is afraid that something might happen to him.
Ye Lang's personality is too worrying; who knows what he might do?
Soon, everyone found Long Anqi. She had just gone out alone to buy some groceries, intending to use food to ease her pain of separation. When she returned and saw everyone's situation, she was somewhat confused.
She is a person, a person!!
"Wife, where's our son?" Ye Chengtian asked anxiously.
"Son? Didn't he leave? Oh, Anna, why are you still here? Aren't you going to escort Ye Lang?" Long Anqi was answering when she suddenly noticed Anna was there, and she was a little unhappy.
She thought that Anna was here because she didn't want to escort Ye Lang herself, but wanted her subordinates to do it for her!
