"Chen Pi, bring your mother in. I need to take a closer look! You two just talk here." Ye Lang said and walked straight in, seemingly forgetting something important: introducing the three of them.

And so, the three of them stood there awkwardly for a while, until the Seventh Princess spoke first. After all, she was an imperial princess and had seen many formal occasions before.

"Hello, Alvin! Nice to meet you. I am Ye Lang's fiancée, Zhao Yazhu, and she is Ye Lang's older sister, Ye Lanyu!" The Seventh Princess gave a brief introduction, without revealing her own or Ye Lanyu's identities.

She no longer seems to be the princess of the empire. Her current identity is actually very simple: Ye Lang's fiancée and the future daughter-in-law of the Ye Clan. In other words, she and Ye Lanyu both belong to the Ye Clan.

In other words, before Ye Lanyu got married, they were all members of the Ye Clan!

It seems that she likes the identity of the Ye Clan much more, or rather, far more, the identity of the Seventh Princess!

"Ah, you are the Young Master's family. Alvin greets you!" Alvin hadn't expected the identities of the two people in front of him to be so surprising—one was his sister, and the other his fiancée.

"Don't be so formal. How long have you been with Ye Lang?" The Seventh Princess stopped Alvin from bowing and looked Alvin up and down before asking.

At the same time, Ye Lanyu, like the Seventh Princess, was also sizing up Alvin, which made Alvin feel very uncomfortable.

"I've been following the Young Master for a few months now. After he gave me food that day, I've been staying by his side, helping him with some things. The Young Master is quite absent-minded, as you both know," Alvin said, trying to divert Ye Lanyu and the other woman's attention with the topic.

"I know that. We wouldn't normally leave him out alone, but he got lost and wandered off on his own," Ye Lanyu replied.

"Yes, it seems that the Young Master often gets lost, and so does Xiao Rui. The two of them often get separated," Alvin nodded, saying with a hint of helplessness.

"Xiao Rui?! Who is that?" Ye Lanyu and the other asked at the same time.

"Don't you know? She's always been with the Young Master, never saying a word, just Young Master and serving Young Master." Alvin was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected that even Ye Lang's sister and fiancée didn't know Xiao Rui's identity.

"Could it be Taiya? Did this kid bring Taiya back?" Ye Lanyu and the Seventh Princess looked at each other, both suspecting that Xiao Rui was Tiger Girl.

In their memories, Ye Lang only ever had Taiya serve him and keep her by his side. They were all jealous of this, simply because Ye Lang was unwilling to take them with him. Just like this time when he said he was going on a trip, he was going alone.

"Taiya? Young Master calls her Xiao Rui. I don't know her full name, but she's very powerful. She can knock down a master with one punch!" Alvin said, which made Ye Lanyu and the other person misunderstand even more.

"It should be Taiya!" Ye Lanyu nodded. Tiger Girl was a Tiger Clan girl who relied on strength. When people say someone is very strong, they are referring to her.

"Let's forget about Taiya for now. Tell us, how did that Prodigal Son squander his entire fortune?" the Seventh Princess asked.

"It's complicated. Young Master he even arrived in a city, he looted all the goods in the city, including... Let me show you the list, I have it written down." Alvin didn't want to say the names of the goods because they were just too long.

"What kind of nonsense is this? What's the point of buying all this? Is it even useful? He says he's doing charity, but why don't you stop him?" The Seventh Princess said this immediately after seeing the list, but she quickly added a sentence.

"Forget it, even if we were here, we couldn't stop him, let alone you!"

They no longer stop Ye Lang from buying what he wants, because they are powerless to stop him; in this world, no one has that ability.

Alvin originally wanted to say something about stopping Ye Lang, but he found that the Seventh Princess had already said what he wanted to say, and he felt a sense of great understanding.

So he nodded and said, "That's right, I couldn't stop it! However, these things of Young Master aren't useless; most of them have come in handy!"

"Useful? You're saying all these things are useful? How is that possible? Tell me, where are they used?" The Seventh Princess was very curious about this. These things seemed useless no matter how you looked at them, at least for Ye Lang, they were almost impossible to use.

"Use it right here, under your feet, and everything around you!!" Alvin pointed to the ground, then to the surroundings, and then waited, waiting for the surprised expressions on the faces of the Seventh Princess and the other girl.

Anyone who hears this news will be surprised!

Sure enough, the Seventh Princess and Ye Lanyu were very surprised and asked, "You mean everything here? Could it be that he built this entire city?"

The Seventh Princess's ideas are quite bold, but that's normal, because Ye Lang wouldn't dare to do anything, so you have to be bold in speculating about his affairs!

And indeed, that's the case; this Miracle District can be said to have been established by Ye Lang!

"Yes!! This new district was built by Young Master. It was planned by you and it used Young Master materials. We are just using Young Master materials and following Young Master plan to build this district!" Alvin nodded and said.

"Ye Lang... is there anything you can't do..." the Seventh Princess murmured, but when she said this, she was full of pride, proud of Ye Lang.

"As expected of my brother Ye Lanyu, he has even built his own city here in the Holy City." Ye Lanyu was even more proud, even more proud than when he himself had achieved something.

"There was no other way. If this district hadn't been built, hundreds of thousands of people would have been homeless. Now, the Young Master has not only built this district so that we have a roof over our heads, but he has also given us the tools to live on..." Alvin said, his tone becoming a little strange towards the end.

The so-called tools were also acquired by Ye Lang, things he initially thought were useless!

"Building such a city and keeping hundreds of thousands of people alive is something even the richest people might not be able to do. It's normal for them to squander it all!" The Seventh Princess handed the list back to Alvin. Looking around at the surroundings, she thought of the district she had just entered and realized she no longer needed to look at it.

Just as the Seventh Princess said, to build such a city and ensure the survival of hundreds of thousands of people, one's entire fortune could be squandered, and it might not even be enough. Therefore, it's normal that Ye Lang is broke.
