"I don't know, anyway, they claimed to be our maternal grandmother's uncles, but I didn't acknowledge them," Ye Lang replied, shaking his head.
"..."
Ye Lang's words made it clear that the first guess was correct: their maternal grandmother was the Empress Dowager, and Long Anqi was a princess of the Vermilion Bird Empire.
What's puzzling is why Ye Lang won't admit it?
"Why won't you admit it? Is it because your cousin won't admit it?" This was the only explanation the Seventh Princess could think of. If Ye Lang's cousin had a conflict with them, then Ye Lang would naturally side with his cousin.
"No, she said yes too!" Ye Lang shook his head and replied.
"Then why won't you admit it?" Ye Lanyu, somewhat confused.
Ye Lang said calmly, "Mom didn't say anything!"
"..."
Ye Lanyu and the other girls remained silent. They seemed to understand Ye Lang's thoughts. Although theoretically there was no mistake and it couldn't be faked, Ye Lang still wouldn't admit it unless Long Anqi personally confirmed it.
Ye Lang may have sensed a significant problem between Long Anqi and the Vermilion Bird Empire, which is why he has never revealed his true identity to them.
If it was because she was afraid of what others would say and deliberately kept it a secret, then there was no need for her not to mention it even to Ye Lang and his sister. Therefore, there must be a reason why Long Anqi didn't want to bring it up.
"Yes, Mom didn't say that, so we won't admit it!" Ye Lanyu nodded in agreement. The mother and daughter had such a good relationship that they could naturally think of some of the issues involved.
"It's better if you don't admit it, so you don't get involved with them again. You should continue to tell us about what happened to you afterward..." The Seventh Princess frowned. She didn't seem to like Ye Lang's connection with the Vermilion Bird Royal Family. Perhaps it was because of her own experience, or perhaps it was because she simply didn't like it.
"Later, where was I? Oh right, it was me..." Ye Lang began to recount his experiences.
Although Ye Lang's words did not tell the truth, the girls present were all very intelligent, and they could imagine what had happened to Ye Lang at that time.
They laughed when they heard about Ye Lang's reckless buying spree; but when they heard about Ye Lang's antics in the Vermilion Bird Imperial Palace, they were left speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry...
And so, time passed little by little...
"Hey, what's going on with those three Young Mistress? Didn't they say they were going to check on them? Why haven't they come back yet?" On the other side, the strongman leader in an inn said with a headache.
Ye Lanyu and the other two had completely forgotten about the incident after seeing Ye Lang, and did not send anyone to inform him.
"Teacher, shall I go take a look?" someone volunteered. This person appeared to be a promising young man, and if nothing unexpected happened, he was one of the suitors of one of the three girls!
"You should probably skip this!" the strongman leader said, frowning. He knew about this talented young man and that the three Young Mistress had already rejected him, but he was still persisting.
"Ye Zhiqin, go check on your cousin. Only you can make her listen to you a little," the strongman leader said to one of the girls.
"Oh, I understand!" the girl replied obediently, and then went to the Muddleheaded Hall alone.
The strongman leader didn't send anyone with Ye Zhiqin. He trusted Ye Zhiqin's abilities and didn't want her to be in such a dangerous place as the Holy City.
Ye Zhiqin is an outstanding member of the Ye Clan in this generation. She is a member of a branch family of the Ye Clan, Level 8 Martial Warrior, and uses Dual Swords as her weapon. She has a gentle personality and is the obedient girl type, but you should not provoke her, otherwise her other personality will appear and it will be very terrifying.
That's right, Ye Zhiqin has a dual personality. Under normal circumstances, she is the obedient girl type, but her other personality will only appear when she is stimulated or when her life is in danger.
This other personality is a terrifying existence, ruthless and exceptionally calm. When this personality appears, her strength will jump directly from Level 8 Martial Warrior to Earth Grade, and she will be a master among Earth Grade, even approaching the level heaven.
Even Ye Chengtian would have to be wary of the cold-hearted Ye Zhiqin!
Fortunately, this personality only appeared three times. Although each appearance made things unimaginable, it was still considered lucky overall, considering that it only appeared three times in more than twenty years, which is a very, very small probability.
It's possible that she lost both her parents when she was very young and experienced some tragedies, which caused her to develop this dual personality!
Chapter Ten: Peeing? Hostage?
Ye Zhiqin's life has been very stable. After being found by the Ye Clan, she has been staying in the Zong family of Soaring Sky Imperial City. She has lived in the same courtyard as Ye Lang and Ye Lanyu, but they don't spend much time together, unlike Ye Lanyu and Ye Lang who are inseparable all the time.
When Ye Zhiqin arrived at Soaring Sky Imperial City, she was already ten years old. Later, she entered the Royal Academy, so she naturally didn't have much contact with Ye Lang. However, she did have some contact with Ye Lanyu, since the two were in the same grade.
Ye Lanyu and Ye Zhiqin are the same age, but Ye Zhiqin is a month older than Ye Lanyu!
As for Ye Zhiqin's dual personality, only the Ye Clan knows about it; outsiders are unaware. Therefore, Ye Zhiqin has not lost any suitors because of this.
Many people pursue Ye Zhiqin; after all, she is a member of the Ye Clan, and her abilities are extraordinary!
If people knew that Ye Zhiqin had this side to her, especially after seeing the scenes she created, they would probably lose 90% of their group!
If the strongman team leader knew this, he probably wouldn't have let Ye Zhiqin go alone. Even the smallest possibility is still a possibility, and it's better to be on the safe side!
Under the tranquil starry night, in the newly established Miracle District, Ye Zhiqin walked along the stone-paved streets. Compared to the daytime, there were relatively few pedestrians nearby.
When pedestrians pass by Ye Zhiqin, they all turn around to look at Ye Zhiqin!
This is simply because Ye Zhiqin's appearance is of the highest caliber, and although she may just barely qualify, she will definitely turn heads.
Furthermore, with two long swords on her back at this moment, Ye Zhiqin exuded a heroic and dashing aura, making her even more captivating!
Ye Zhiqin kept her eyes forward and walked slowly, unaffected by the stares of passersby, as she was already used to it.
Before she arrived, Ye Zhiqin had already found out how to get to the Muddleheaded Hall. Since the route to the Muddleheaded Hall was easy, she quickly found Muddleheaded Hall location.
