Could it be that there is some misunderstanding involved?
Ye Zhiqin began to have doubts and hesitate, but she quickly sorted things out and found that there was indeed room for misunderstanding. It seemed that she had been led astray by those people.
At this moment, the Knights of Light had the same thought. They sensed something was amiss from Ye Zhiqin's request; it seemed Ye Zhiqin wasn't there to cause trouble!
So they wanted an explanation, an explanation from the other party!
Of course, before explaining, the Knights of Light's first request was for Ye Zhiqin to release Ye Lang. Otherwise, if anything happened to Ye Lang while he was in her hands, he would be in serious trouble!
Ye Zhiqin had the same thought. Of course, she wouldn't let Ye Lang go now. The current situation was only a possibility; what if that possibility wasn't true? It was safer to hold onto some leverage!
However, at this moment, in order to show her sincerity, Ye Zhiqin loosened her grip on Ye Lang a little, holding his wrist with one hand, and the most dangerous sword was no longer at his neck, but was still resting on his shoulder!
"Excuse me, are you Knights of Light?" Ye Zhiqin asked, grabbing Ye Lang and looking at the Knights of Light in front of her.
"Yes!" the Knights of Light replied.
"Excuse me, is this the Holy Church?" Ye Zhiqin asked again to confirm.
"..." Do you even need to ask that? On this continent, besides the Holy Church Knights of Light, are there any other Knights of Light?
This is not the Holy Church's power to prevent others from using this name; it is the rule of the continent that every Knights Order has a unique name and no two Knights Order will have the same name.
"Hey, stop greeting me, let me go, sister, please..." Ye Lang ran in place with his legs clamped together, looking like he was about to pee.
"Oh..." Ye Zhiqin responded, and then released Ye Lang.
"Huh, why should I call you sister? Never mind, you guys chat, I'm going to pee first..." After being relieved, Ye Lang immediately ran away, leaving only a blur in everyone's eyes.
A moment later, Ye Zhiqin suddenly realized what was happening and was shocked!
She didn't understand why she would do this, why she would let go of the chips in her hand. Why? Why, when he called me "sister," did it feel like magic, making her naturally obey and let him go?
Ye Zhiqin didn't really mean to release Ye Lang. She wouldn't be so stupid as to release a key hostage at this moment. She herself didn't know why she did it; it was just a habit.
At that moment, she felt a sense of familiarity Ye Lang her "sister," and it was this feeling that made her subconsciously obey him!
All of this puzzled her at the time, but soon after, when the mystery was solved, she completely understood—it was because he was her cousin!
Ye Lang's sister is not so cheap. There aren't many people he can call "sister." Not to mention people he just met, even people he's known for a long time, he still wouldn't call them that!
Therefore, at that time, Ye Lang didn't know why he suddenly called Ye Zhiqin" sister".
At that time, Ye Lang didn't pay attention to these things; he was simply too impatient...
The Knights of Light were also stunned for a moment. They were thinking, "So calling her 'sister' is more effective than our threats! If we had known that, we would have made the Young Master call her 'sister' much sooner!"
At this moment, Ye Zhiqin was in a dilemma. She didn't know how to deal with the situation at hand. Should she run away first, or wait for things to be clarified?
However, there are two aspects to clarifying the matter. One is that things went smoothly and there was a misunderstanding in the middle. The other is that things were as she had imagined before. If she wanted to escape again, she would lose the initiative!
Now she faced a choice, a choice that gave Ye Zhiqin a headache, and in the end, she chose not to run away!
This wasn't because she believed what was happening was a misunderstanding, but because she had no other choice. These Knights of Light had already surrounded her, and with her abilities, it was too late to escape now!
However, things naturally didn't turn out badly, and Ye Zhiqin's worries were unnecessary!
"Miss, it seems there's been a misunderstanding between us. Could we talk this out calmly?" The Knights of Light didn't approach; instead, some people stepped back.
Ye Zhiqin thought for a moment and said, "Okay! I'm sorry to have troubled you!"
It's a bit of a hassle, but fortunately it's not a big problem. If it's just a misunderstanding, then it's nothing. It's just a pity about the gate that was destroyed twice.
"No trouble at all! May I ask what brings you here?" the Knights of Light asked. This was the most direct question, the quickest way to find out what was going on.
"Excuse me! I'm here to see three girls, they are..."
"Where's the thief? Where's the thief?..." At this moment, Ye Lanyu and the other three girls had already run over here because of Ye Lang's shout!
Ye Lanyu seemed very excited; catching thieves seemed like a very interesting thing!
She was the first to appear. When she saw Ye Zhiqin, she didn't seem surprised, perhaps because she hadn't quite realized what was happening yet. She even asked Ye Zhiqin, "Zhiqing, where's the thief?"
Although Ye Zhiqin is Ye Lanyu's cousin, they are only a few months apart in age, so they address each other by their first names!
"..."
After Ye Lanyu asked that question, the Knights of Light was certain that it was a misunderstanding, and that he would soon need to wash up and go to bed...
"Lan Yu, weren't you arrested?" Ye Zhiqin asked blankly.
This statement further clarifies that the matter was a misunderstanding; some of the Knights of Light have already left the scene and gone to bed!
"Huh?" Ye Lanyu looked at Ye Zhiqin in surprise. "What? You were arrested?"
"A middle-aged man just told me that you were captured by the people here, and when I asked these people, they said they fought with you, so..." Ye Zhiqin glanced at the knights nearby and continued, "I fought with them!"
"... You're really courting death! They're all Earth Grade experts, and you're only at level eight. Are you trying to force out your other one?" Ye Lanyu looked at Ye Zhiqin. "If that's the case, then there's still a chance!"
Another one? What does that mean?
"No, I didn't mean that, because that would cause a lot of trouble for everyone. Lan Yu, why are you staying here?" Ye Zhiqin asked apologetically; the apology was just a habit.
