Men (2)
"Hey, Cousin Zhiqing, what are you doing here?" Ye Lang was somewhat surprised to find that Ye Zhiqin was one of the girls.
"I was watching your competition. Your drumming was beautiful. It's been so long since I've heard you play music." After saying this, Ye Zhiqin blushed slightly, though it was unclear why.
"Hey, little brother, did you only see Zhiqing and not me?" another girl asked, sounding a bit annoyed.
"Oh, Second Sister, you're here too... Ah, Mia ... Give me a feather..." Ye Lang said to Mia, who was next to his Second Sister. He didn't seem surprised at all by Mia's appearance. It seemed that wherever his Second Sister was, Mia would be there too.
"..."
Aside from wanting feathers, don't you have anything else to say?
"Hmph!" Mia snorted, saying nothing more. She no longer wanted to discuss the feather issue with Ye Lang, and she wouldn't try to get the feathers back.
"By the way, what are you all doing down here? This is the competition venue," Ye Lang asked rather heartlessly at this moment.
"..." Everyone fell silent.
"I was just worried about you. When did you get such a strong girl by your side? Is it Taiya? No, Taiya is a girl from the Tiger Clan," the Second Sister said irritably.
"Her Xiao Rui, my darling!" Ye Lang said. No matter how you look at it, Xiao Rui is indeed a darling.
"Baby? Aren't you afraid your Little Seven will get jealous if you say that..." The Second Sister looked at Xiao Rui, who had returned to Ye Lang's side, with a bit of a puzzlement.
"It's alright, Xiao Rui is indeed his precious darling!" At this moment, the Seventh Princess appeared beside Ye Lang with Ye Lanyu, and Fei also came with them.
It seems this competition can no longer continue!
"Why are you all here? Aren't you going to compete? And Xiao Fei, you're over there, don't come here to join in the fun!" Ye Lang pointed to Edward on the other side, indicating that Fei should go over there.
"What's the point of competing now? I concede. Winning like this wouldn't be glorious for me. Besides, Miss Ye and Her Highness the Princess are indeed very strong and admirable!" Fei said nonchalantly.
Soon after, Fei suddenly noticed how Ye Lang addressed her. "What did you just call me, Xiao Fei? Did I give you permission to call me that, you scoundrel, trying to take advantage of me!"
"What's so advantageous about calling me Xiao Fei? I call you Little Seven, Little Five, Little Zero, and Xiao Rui the same way. Oh, and there's also Xiao Little Black over there." Ye Lang pointed at Edward. "It's because your name is so complicated. I'm not used to calling you by a single character, and your surnames are placed at the end, so calling you Yun Yingfei isn't appropriate either."
Little Five, Little Zero? Who are they?
Ye Lanyu originally wanted to ask this, but since Ye Lang pointed at Edward and said his name was Little Black, she lost interest in asking. Perhaps he was just an unimportant person.
"Hey, what do you mean by this? Who's admitting defeat?!" Edward shouted, still trying to get back at him.
"Lord Fengxing, what should we do with this person?" the Knights of Light asked Feng Xing, who was also present. However, Feng Xing was avoiding Ye Lang at this moment, afraid of being discovered by Ye Lang.
"Feng Xing? How can you be so bored? I see you everywhere!!" Ye Lang immediately grabbed Feng Xing as soon as he heard the name Feng Xing.
Feng Xing was afraid of this, so he scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, "Hehe, of course I had to come and support your competition, Young Master! It turns out I made the right choice, otherwise how could I have heard Young Master exciting drumbeats!"
No one present could deny the power of Ye Lang's drumming; they would all feel excited and want to hear it again—no, a hundred times.
"Little brother, what exactly did you do to earn such respect from the Holy Church?" The Second Sister found it a bit strange; this relationship was really too odd.
She knew what kind of organization the Holy Church was, and if given the opportunity, she would like to befriend Holy Church, as this would definitely benefit the Ye Clan.
She never expected that Ye Lang held such an extraordinary position in the Holy Church, a position that went far beyond simply being on good terms with him. At the same time, she didn't understand how this was possible.
"It's nothing..." Ye Lang himself didn't really understand, but he said, "Because I'm a good person, and good people are respected wherever they go."
"..."
Everyone fell silent, but those who knew Ye Lang's past would have to admit that this seemingly absurd reason might actually be the truth!
Ye Lang is indeed well taken care of and respected wherever he goes: Soaring Sky Empire, the Vermilion Bird Empire, the Holy City, the Ye Clan, the Cold-Blooded Group, the Holy Church...
Well, it's all because this kid is incredibly lucky, blessed by Goddess of Luck. But to be fair, this kid does have admirable qualities, both in his character and in the knowledge and power he possesses.
Although he may be a bit absent-minded, he is not absent-minded when it comes to doing things!
Uh, that should be it...
"Pah, you're a strange person. Everything you have is given to you by the women around you, and by the Holy Church, isn't it all thanks to the Holy Maiden!" Edward said discordantly, seemingly believing that Ye Lang's status in the Holy Church came from the Holy Maiden.
The Knights of Light, including Feng Xing, merely sneered at this. They respected Ye Lang even more than the Holy Maiden, so how could it have been given by the Holy Maiden? However, they couldn't say anything about this, as it involved too many internal matters of the Holy Church.
Ye Lanyu and the Seventh Princess stared coldly at Edward...
"Holy Maiden? You mean Xuan Yuanbing? What did she give me?" Ye Lang asked, somewhat puzzled. "She didn't say she was going to give me anything last night, she just said she would come to see me again in a few days."
These past few days, Xuan Yuanbing has been staying at the Cloudtop Palace, handling her duties. Every night, she goes to bed early to wait for Ye Lang to appear in her dreams, and Ye Lang always appears as expected.
After that, Xuan Yuanbing figured out a few things. First, the "connection in dreams" between herself and Ye Lang still existed, but it would be lost if they got too close. It could only be restored if they were separated by a certain distance. This might be an explanation that dreams have a distance.
Furthermore, the prerequisite for establishing this dream connection is that she must fall asleep first, followed by Ye Lang. If Ye Lang falls asleep before her, the connection cannot be established.
It felt like Ye Lang could enter her dream, but she couldn't enter Ye Lang's dream!
However, none of this mattered to Xuan Yuanbing; as long as there was a connection, that was enough...
"She had the Alchemy Group championship given to you, and then she said she didn't!" Edward continued, and this time it seemed even more outrageous. It turned out that when he said Ye Lang got the championship because of a woman, he was referring to this incident as well.
