What's so tricky about that question?
The tricky part is that if Ye Lang disregards Xiao Rui's opinion and directly says that Kasha is important, Xiao Rui will definitely feel resentful, which will cause a rift in their relationship.
Of course, this is just their opinion. They don't know that Xiao Rui is not human, but an emotionless Alchemy Puppet who has no opinion on these things.
Ye Lang was unaware of this, and even if he had, he wouldn't have cared, because—
"Of course my Xiao Rui is more important!" Ye Lang answered without hesitation.
"Ah..."
At this moment, everyone in the room was stunned. No one expected that Ye Lang would give such an answer, which was exactly the opposite of what they had thought.
What does this mean?
"You say your Xiao Rui is important, then what is the meaning of your coming here this time?" The City Lord frowned and said unhappily.
Ye Lang smiled and said slowly, "I came here just to take your daughter as a concubine!"
What?! A concubine?!
Of course, it's a concubine. The wife already has Little Seven; if there's any less, it's a concubine...
You actually want Miss Kasha to be your concubine?!
Everyone glared at Ye Lang, wishing they could devour Ye Lang, including Edward, who seemed to be getting into character again...
However, amidst this anger, some people secretly thought to themselves, "I've actually thought about this too, but I just don't dare to do it!"
Ye Lang, you're a true man!
Of course, they wouldn't help Ye Lang; they would continue to attack Ye Lang!
There are some things that everyone has thoughts about, but they just don't dare to say them. And although they also have these thoughts, they will still stand on the moral high ground and condemn those who say such things with righteous indignation!
"Hey, what are you standing there for? Now it's your turn to shine, I'm leaving the stage!!"
At that moment, Ye Lang's words suddenly rang in Edward's ears, reminding Edward of his original purpose and that Ye Lang was helping him.
If I were to go out at this moment and defeat Ye Lang, I would become a hero in everyone's eyes, even if this heroism is only temporary and not particularly glorious.
But as long as Edward comes out at this moment, he will definitely receive the support and goodwill of everyone in the audience!
And this is exactly the result Ye Lang wanted to see!
Perhaps Ye Lang wanted Edward to appear at this moment not because he thought it was the best time, but simply because he didn't want to continue. He felt a little tired, and things were almost done, so he would let Edward handle the rest himself.
This is ultimately Edward's business. Ye Lang is just assisting. If Edward doesn't show his appreciation, how can Kasha be happy? Even if Edward suffers a little, it will leave them with wonderful memories!
If Ye Lang has taken care of everything, then all they'll remember is Ye Lang, and it seems like it has nothing to do with them. This doesn't seem like a good thing!
Of course, Ye Lang hadn't thought about this issue; he simply wanted to leave and didn't want to continue!
"What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up, or someone will steal your Miss Kasha, and that won't be my problem!!"
Edward was still in a daze for a while, but luckily Ye Lang reminded him, and he immediately jumped out before anyone else could get there first.
"Ye Lang, you should go back yourself! You're not welcome here!" Edward could only say coldly at this moment. He couldn't scold Ye Lang or blame him; he could only use this seemingly indignant but speechless attitude.
"Oh, then I'll be going..." Ye Lang nodded, seemingly wanting to leave, with no intention of challenging Edward to a duel.
Edward remained silent. Brother, you should at least go through the motions, otherwise it will seem very strange and people will suspect that there is something between us.
At that point, even if I jumped into the Yellow River, I couldn't clear my name!
Brother, please, come back soon, I can't bear this alone...
At this moment, Edward almost wanted to rush out and pull Ye Lang back, but he couldn't do that. He could only pray silently in his heart.
"Oh, right, I shouldn't have left! If you tell me to leave, wouldn't it be embarrassing for me to just leave?" Ye Lang seemed to have heard Edward's prayer, stopped, turned around, and replied very seriously.
At this moment, Edward almost wanted to hug Ye Lang and cry, to thank Ye Lang for turning back at this time.
Meanwhile, outside the arena, Kasha's entire attention was focused on Edward. From the moment Edward spoke, she was certain that this dark figure—no, the boy—was her beloved Edward Jane.
However, Kasha's eyes were filled with doubt. Why had Edward become so dark? Was it makeup on purpose, or had something happened?
Kasha didn't know, and soon she stopped worrying about that problem and started worrying about another one: how Edward should deal with Ye Lang, this "despicable villain".
At this moment, in everyone's mind, Ye Lang is the epitome of despicable behavior, a pioneer of shamelessness...
Of course, in Edward's mind, Ye Lang was not like that, and only he thought so, because he knew the reason behind it!
He believed that Ye Lang would definitely use proper methods in their duel, and would not resort to underhanded tactics. It would be a fair and proper duel that would allow him to fully demonstrate his strength, making it a very exciting match!
However, this is only Edward's own idea, and it is uncertain whether Ye Lang will cooperate!
"Then we'll... rely on..." Edward said to Ye Lang with the above feelings, but he saw Ye Lang fire the gun without thinking twice, without even saying hello!
Edward immediately moved, watching the dazzling energy blast sweep past him with spectacular speed. Cold sweat broke out on his face, simply because the energy blast had almost grazed him!
What exactly does this kid mean? What if I accidentally can't avoid it?
Edward wanted to give Ye Lang a strong rebuke, but it seemed inappropriate for him to do so at this time, and more importantly, Ye Lang didn't give him the opportunity to do so.
Ye Lang did not stop firing just because it was Edward!
Damn it, Ye Lang, you bastard! I'm starting to suspect you have ulterior motives towards Kasha. Are you even helping me?!
