"Why did you stay here? The answer is simple: it's because my brother is the legendary 'Muddleheaded Divine Physician'!" Ye Lanyu smiled and said with pride.
Ye Zhiqin was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Is Ye Lang the 'Muddleheaded Divine Physician'? Does he know medicine?"
This is a question that everyone who knows Ye Lang would ask, because in their minds, Ye Lang is just an alchemist. His alchemy is amazing, but they have never heard of him being involved in medicine!
"Yes, and I'm really good at it!!" Ye Lanyu said proudly.
Ye Zhiqin smiled slightly. She was also proud of Ye Lang. After all, he was her cousin, so she felt a sense of honor. Moreover, Ye Lang was liked by almost everyone in the Ye Clan, including Ye Zhiqin herself.
"Ye Lang is really interesting... Wait, could it be that the person just now..." Ye Zhiqin suddenly remembered something. Since Ye Lang was here, then the hostage she had just captured, the hostage who seemed to resemble Ye Lang, was Ye Lang himself?
No wonder, no wonder it worked on her when he said "Sister, please". If it were Ye Lang, it wouldn't be surprising. Normally, many people would agree to his request, including her!
Of course, Ye Lang rarely asks for favors, almost never. The favor he just asked was mostly due to his coquettishness. Occasionally, he would act coquettishly towards older relatives, which was quite necessary. And this was the only time he would ask for favors.
Ye Lanyu looked around, searching for Ye Lang's shadow, and said casually, "What? By the way, Zhiqing, have you seen Ye Lang? He just came out to use the outhouse and suddenly shouted something about thieves. Where is he now?"
"..."
Ye Zhiqin remained silent. It really was Ye Lang! I wondered how there could be someone in this world so similar to Ye Lang; who would have thought it was the same person!
"You don't know? Then where is the thief you caught?" Ye Lanyu asked immediately upon seeing this reaction, because Ye Zhiqin didn't know.
At this moment, since so many Knights of Light have gathered here, they must know where the thief Ye Lang was talking about is, and Ye Lanyu and the others cannot connect the fact that the thief is Ye Zhiqin.
"She's the thief! Arrest her right now!!" Just then, Ye Lang returned after finishing his business and overheard the question. He pointed at Ye Zhiqin and said.
"..." Everyone fell silent!
Ye Lanyu and the others remained silent because they couldn't understand what was going on, how Ye Zhiqin had become a thief.
Ye Zhiqin's silence was due to Ye Lang's confusion; he still couldn't figure out who she was. But thinking about it, it made sense. Given his personality and slow reaction time, it was normal that he couldn't tell. Even if she explained it in more detail, he might still not be able to tell.
The Knights of Light remained silent? It seemed there was no need for them to speak anymore.
"You little scatterbrain, take a closer look at who she is..." The Seventh Princess had already come to Ye Lang's side and gently took his hand as she spoke.
Ye Lanyu looked at the Seventh Princess, her eyes revealing displeasure. "You Little Seven, you've taken advantage of him again!"
Hehe, you found out, but—too late!
The Seventh Princess gave Ye Lanyu a victorious smile. For her, this was another small victory in a long battle!
Ye Lang looked at Ye Zhiqin, confirming her identity, but—
"She's a thief, I just said that!"
"..."
Ye Lang was certain that Ye Zhiqin was the female thief who had just kidnapped him; however, he still couldn't figure out anything else!
"Take another look!" Ye Lanyu and the Seventh Princess said at the same time.
Ye Lang examined it very carefully this time, and then gave an answer—
"Look closely, she's a beautiful female thief!!"
Boom...
Everyone was stunned!
"Bang!"
Ye Lanyu and the Seventh Princess couldn't help but tap Ye Lang on the head. Sometimes, they really wanted to see what Ye Lang's brain was made of. He could easily handle such difficult alchemy, but he was confused about the simplest things.
"Ouch... Why are you hitting me?!" Ye Lang cried out, clutching his head in protest, and slowly moved to the side, trying to get away from the two terrifying girls.
"Where do you think you're going?! You little scatterbrain, have you forgotten? She is Zhiqing!!" Ye Lanyu pulled Ye Lang back, reminding Ye Lang.
"Zhiqing, that name sounds familiar..." Ye Lang seemed to remember it after being reminded, but he still couldn't immediately retrieve the character's information.
"Thirteen, don't you remember me? I'm your Cousin Zhiqing!" Ye Zhiqin said softly. "No wonder you don't recognize me. We haven't spent much time together, and it's been so long since we last saw each other!"
Ye Zhiqin was very obedient and found a good reason for Ye Lang. This was her usual style; she always found reasons for others!
"Ah..." Ye Lang remembered. He could remember it as long as he associated the name with his cousin. In fact, he might remember it even faster if he used his cousin's name.
"So it's my Cousin Zhiqing! No wonder you looked familiar! I remember you, you've always been so good to me, even better than a biological sister..."
Ye Lang's earlier words relieved Ye Lanyu and the others. Thankfully, he remembered, and the Knights of Light also learned that she was the Young Master's cousin. It seemed they could finally go to bed tonight!
Huh, how many times have I said I'm going to wash up and go to bed?
"What did you say?!" Ye Lanyu was displeased. Ye Lang's next words made her very unhappy. What did he mean by that? It was clearly his dissatisfaction with her.
"I'm saying, my Cousin Zhiqing is even better than my own sister!" Ye Lang seemed oblivious to the problem with his statement.
"How dare you say that?!" Three black lines appeared on Ye Lanyu's forehead.
"What's wrong? Why don't you dare to say?" Ye Lang asked, puzzled.
"You said Zhiqing is better than your own sister, which means she's better than me, right?" Ye Lanyu said calmly, but everyone knew that this was the calm before the storm.
"Uh, no, absolutely not!!" Ye Lang said immediately. He reacted quickly to this, knowing that if he didn't, he would be beaten up by Ye Lanyu.
"How can she be better than you? You're my own sister! I'm talking about my Second Sister Second Sister. She's never been kind to me. I've hardly ever seen her since I was little. She's even less of a friend than my Cousin Zhiqing." At this moment, Ye Lang suddenly became very shrewd, bringing up his somewhat unfamiliar Second Sister to block Ye Lanyu's gun.
"That's more like it! But it's not that your Second Sister doesn't love you. It's just that she and your eldest brother are always at that top academy. They want to become the elite of the Lineage and inherit the Lineage business... These are things that neither you nor I can do. In fact, they are also sacrificing for us!" Ye Lanyu suddenly became very serious at this moment and said in a solemn tone.
