"...You don't even know your own surname, so don't you know the origin of this Alexandria City?" Johnny shook his head, seemingly a little helpless.
Ye Lang replied, "I think I've seen it before. This Alexandria City was founded by a great man named Alexander Nicholas. Legend has it that during a riot, he and some others fled here and established a small village. Due to its geographical location, it gradually developed into a small town, then a town, a small city, and now a large city!"
"Back then, this village was called Alexandria, so now this place is called Alexandria City. And the Nicholas Nikola Family has always been the lords of this city. The Nikola Family is also the only Lineage in Alexandria City that has survived to this day. Oh, I know, her surname is Nicholas, and her name is Kasha Nicholas, right?"
"...Yes, it seems you know quite a bit about the history here," Johnny said.
"I know all of history. I know everything that is recorded in history books!" Ye Lang replied calmly. This seemingly proud statement had a different kind of calmness in his mouth, making people feel no pride.
"Are you a historian?" Johnny asked.
"No, I've only dabbled in it!" Ye Lang replied.
"So what is your main job?"
"Prodigal Son!"
"What?!" Johnny wondered if he had misheard, or if Ye Lang had said something wrong.
"My main job is to Prodigal Son!!" Ye Lang confirmed once again.
Are you kidding me?
"No, I'm serious!"
"..."
At this moment, a group of people filed in, led by the City Lord. At the same time, Miss Kasha also appeared. She was indeed a beauty of unparalleled grace and charm. No wonder so many people were infatuated with her.
Of course, Ye Lang thought this was just average, a little worse than Xiao Rui, and even less so than Ye Lanyu!
With Miss Kasha was another girl, who was just as beautiful as Kasha, possessing a similar level of attractiveness!
"Sigh, what a waste of a beautiful flower on a pile of cow dung!" Ye Lang said with a hint of regret when he saw Miss Kasha. Edward overheard this and gritted his teeth in anger.
"What?" Johnny asked, puzzled.
"It's nothing. I was just thinking about something. Some toads want to eat swan meat. If these toads succeed, wouldn't that be like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung? What a pity, what a real pity!" Ye Lang said, shaking his head.
"That's right. Some people don't even know their place. How dare they come here to participate in Miss Kasha's marriage contest? They should take a good look at themselves in the mirror and see what kind of people they are." Once someone starts talking, others will usually chime in.
Ye Lang's words were endorsed by some nobles, while some in the middle spoke up directly, showing great disdain for the commoners who had come in.
Ye Lang shook his head and said calmly, "I'm not just talking about them, but also about all of you!"
"What?!" someone roared, questioning Ye Lang, "Are you saying we're toads trying to eat swan meat?"
"That's right! If you know you're toads, you should leave on your own to avoid making a fool of yourselves here!" Ye Lang waved his hand dismissively.
"You... do you want to die?!" the man said through gritted teeth.
"Ahem, everyone, could you please calm down and let me finish speaking before you deal with your problems?" the City Lord reminded them. Ye Lang and the others ignored his presence and started fighting below.
This is disrespectful to himself as the city lord, and also disrespectful to the person who has a chance of becoming his father-in-law!
"I'm sorry, I was rude! Please speak!" Ye Lang smiled and apologized.
This attitude made the City Lord feel very comfortable. He looked at another person, the one who had clashed with Ye Lang. At this moment, this person was quite sensible and immediately offered a similar apology.
"I don't need to explain why you've all come here today; it's all for my daughter. The fact that you're all here shows that you are all outstanding individuals. I wish you could all become my sons-in-law, but unfortunately, I only have one daughter. Therefore, you must undergo another test!"
The City Lord continued, "Since this is my daughter's marriage selection, she shall decide what tests to conduct and act as the chief referee. I will simply observe and serve as her assistant."
He's called a deputy, but I believe this deputy position isn't necessarily lower in rank than the head!
"Daughter, I'm entrusting her to you now!" the City Lord said, pointing towards Kasha, as if to signal Kasha to take over.
At this moment, Kasha was looking for Edward's shadow. Edward was her biggest concern, and she had started this event because of Edward.
However, she couldn't find Edward anywhere. Although her gaze had lingered on Edward and she had suspected him, Edward was just too dark, which made her give up on the suspicion.
"Edward, where are you?" Kasha murmured, and only the girl beside her could hear her. She had no intention of hiding it from the girl.
It seems that this girl is her best friend, and the two have no secrets from each other and can talk about anything!
"Daughter, daughter, now it's your turn..." The City Lord's soft call, coupled with the girl's reminder, brought Kasha back to her senses.
"Ah, sorry, I was lost in thought for a moment!" Kasha apologized to everyone. "My question today is very simple. I want to see how strong you are. I am a martial artist. My husband must be either smarter or stronger than me, otherwise how can he control me!"
Hmm, why does that sound so familiar? Oh right, isn't that what my older sister said?
Ye Lang recalled Ye Lanyu's words from that time. When Long Anqi asked her what kind of person she planned to marry, she said just that.
This made Long Anqi a little worried. According to Ye Lanyu's standards, only a very small number of people on this continent would be qualified. However, these people might not necessarily be with her. What would she do if she couldn't get married?
At that time, Long Anqi also asked this question, and Ye Lanyu's answer was, "So what if I can't get married? I have my younger brother to support me, I'm not afraid!"
In response, Ye Lang said one thing at the time, "Sister, you should lower your expectations. I don't want to support you."
Then, another sibling rivalry ensued!
Because of this sentence, Ye Lang's goodwill towards Kasha increased a lot, and he wanted to match her with Edward even more. At the same time, he also made a small gesture towards Edward - giving him a thumbs up!
