However, this is only natural. Besides, how long has Ye Lang known Kasha? And how long have they been together? If the roles Ye Lang and Ye Lang became Edward, he would have long forgotten Edward and wouldn't even think of him when he had free time.

As for why Edward was able to pass through each level, without Ye Lang's help, he should have been eliminated long ago. How could someone as ruthless as him be worthy of Miss Kasha!

This was actually because he was badmouthed by others that he was able to pass smoothly!

The Alexandria City happened to see Edward, but instead of having Edward thrown out, he said, "Let this man pass by. Someone should accompany him so that my citizens can know that I treat everyone equally."

The City Lord believed that with his daughter's discerning eye, she would never be interested in this dark thing, so there was nothing to worry about!

But the result was unexpected. Even the City Lord himself didn't know that he was actually helping to bring about this destiny!

Perhaps this was Edward's luck, or perhaps it was because Ye Lang brought him this good fortune.

"Ye Lang, Prodigal Son? Are you sure you want to use this and don't want to make any changes?" The first person to review Ye Lang's information frowned and asked.

"Yes, no need to modify it!" Ye Lang replied.

"Alright then, let's begin. This test will assess your knowledge..."

These tests only cover basic knowledge, and you don't have to pass them all. It's all about your total score. There will always be people who are weaker in certain areas. We're not looking for an all-rounder; as long as you excel in one area, that's enough.

If we compare a jack-of-all-trades who knows everything with a specialist who only has one skill, but the specialist's skill is far superior to the jack-of-all-trades', then others will definitely choose the specialist.

Being a polymath is actually the same as being mediocre, unless you can be a top performer in every field. But a person's energy is limited, and you can't bite off more than you can chew. Being good at one skill is already very impressive.

Getting back to the point, Ye Lang passed these test questions with ease, because they were far too easy for him. In this kind of exam, he believed no one on the continent could surpass Ye Lang!

Ye Lang has an enviable super memory, and he always has a book to read when he has nothing to do!

It seems that Ye Lanyu and the others also like Ye Lang reading, because Ye Lang is very quiet when he is reading, he won't run around, so he won't get lost or cause trouble.

"Is there any more? Is that all?" Ye Lang said with some disappointment.

At this point, Ye Lang had finished all the questions, and he was even feeling a little unsatisfied, wanting to continue the exam...

Who is this person? Is he addicted to taking exams?!

"You should go in. Even if there are others, you don't need to take the test. You're too outstanding!" The examiners seemed to be trying to get Ye Lang to leave.

Ye Lang just got full marks on all the tests. No matter how difficult the questions the examiners asked, he could answer them. He even answered questions that the Ye Lang didn't know the answers to.

According to the rules this time, Ye Lang could pass even if he took fewer tests, let alone since he took all of them!

Soon, Ye Lang went inside to meet with the successful people. This was a reception room in the city lord's castle, where they were all waiting for the last person to arrive, namely Ye Lang.

Of course, they didn't think Ye Lang was so slow, because in their minds, Ye Lang shouldn't be the last one; there would be many more people behind him.

They believe that perhaps this day will come, and they can wait here, drink tea and chat, and get along with their competitors.

Perhaps this was also a test, which is why these people maintained their composure and did not mock ordinary people, such as the Little Black in the movie, uh, Edward.

When Ye Lang entered, he attracted everyone's attention, not because they knew he was the last one, nor because Ye Lang did anything outrageous, nor because Ye Lang said anything special.

Ye Lang hadn't said a word since he came in; he just walked along at a leisurely pace!

What caught everyone's attention was Xiao Rui, who was standing next to Ye Lang. Besides being attracted by Xiao Rui's perfect appearance, there was another very important reason: Xiao Rui was a girl!

In this setting, none of the people present brought any female relatives, not even their closest ones, even those they used to be inseparable from.

After all, this is a blind date!

But Ye Lang has brought such a perfect Xiao Rui with him, which naturally makes people feel very strange and attracts a lot of attention!

Hehe, that's exactly what I wanted. I want you all to watch me. I'm going to take you all down one by one and make sure that kid Little Black gets his happy ending with his lover!

Look at me! Look at me now!!

Ye Lang accepted everyone's gaze with composure, and slowly walked into the hall with Xiao Rui. They found a seat, ate the exquisite pastries, and enjoyed the fragrant tea.

At this moment, Ye Lang did not go to talk to Edward. It was not because he knew Edward's thoughts, but simply because he wanted Edward to keep a low profile so that he would not attract attention!

"Young Master, may I ask your name?" A Young Master nearby struck up a conversation with Ye Lang. Since he was waiting here anyway, it wouldn't hurt to make another friend.

"My name is Ye Lang. May I ask your honorable name?" Ye Lang cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and replied in kind.

"My name is Johnny. Judging from Young Master Ye's accent, you don't seem to be from the Aila Empire?" Johnny asked tentatively.

"No, I was just passing by and saw that the city lord's daughter wanted to get married, so I came to take a look," Ye Lang said casually.

This statement confirms that he did not come because of her reputation, that he had no feelings for Miss Kasha, and that he was merely there for the sake of joining in the fun!

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but cast a contemptuous glance at Ye Lang, looking down on his behavior. This was a sacred matter; how could he be so casual about it, as if he were just passing by shopping?

However, upon closer examination, these people are not much different from this one in essence. Like Ye Lang, they have no feelings for Miss Kasha!

"So how much do you know about Miss Kasha?" Johnny asked, while also sharing a sip of tea with Ye Lang as a gesture of goodwill.

Ye Lang thought for a moment and said, "I know she's a woman..."

Nonsense, everyone knows that, do I need to say it?

"Also, I know her name is Kasha, but I don't know her last name."

Upon hearing this, those nearby, as well as those who were watching Ye Lang, once again expressed their utter contempt for him...
