Unexpected Victory (3)

"It's already pretty good that we've gotten this far. Our Ye Family Academy's ranking won't be low!" Ye Lanyu had no objections to this. Both of them had been killed by her Second Sister, let alone one person alone.

The Seventh Princess shared the same thought, but she didn't give up. Instead, she fought with all her might, making the battle interesting and remarkable!

In the end, although she lost, she won everyone's applause!

As Ye Lang tossed the trophy to his Second Sister, he praised the Seventh Princess, saying, "Little Seven, you did a great job. In a few years, you'll surpass your Second Sister. Second Sister's only a few years older than you!"

"Mm!" The Seventh Princess was very happy to hear Ye Lang's praise and nodded.

However, at this moment, Ye Lang seemed not to notice that his Second Sister was standing right next to him.

"Ye Lang!!" The Second Sister glared angrily.

"Ah, Second Sister, you're still here..." Ye Lang said blankly.

Just pretend I don't exist!

"Oh, I see. Little Seven, let's go, I'll take you to celebrate." Ye Lang really acted as if his Second Sister didn't exist, actually saying that he was going to celebrate with the Seventh Princess instead of with his Second Sister who had won the championship.

Before the Second Sister could even speak, Ye Lang had already left with the Seventh Princess. Even Ye Lanyu couldn't catch up, let alone anyone else.

On this day, Ye Lang and the Seventh Princess wandered around the Holy City. There were only the two of them, or three if Xiao Rui was included!

The Seventh Princess liked this very much, getting rid of Ye Lanyu and living a life of just the two of them with Ye Lang.

This was also the tranquility she longed for amidst the noisy gathering...

After the Ranking Tournament ended, when everyone was calculating their ranking points, they were surprised to find that Ye Family Academy was ranked first by a narrow margin.

The champions of the Alchemy and Hybrid groups, the runners-up and third-place winners of the Magic group, the third-place winner of the Martial Arts group, and the runners-up of the Academy group—this pile of achievements led Ye Family Academy to inexplicably win first place.

This outcome was unexpected by everyone, including the Ye Family Academy itself.

There are many reasons for this. The First Academy did not get points due to some coincidences. For example, if it weren't for Fei's appearance, they would have won the championship in the martial arts group. In that case, their points would have been much higher than Ye Family Academy.

Meanwhile, Ye Lanyu's team won against the First Academy in the mixed group competition, even though they only got a small number of points. This led some academies to send people to participate in the mixed group competition as well, because every little bit counts and could become the key to victory, just like this time.

While the result was surprising, it was also expected, because although it was Ye Family Academy's first time participating, the main force of the Ye Family Academy came from the Royal Academy, and they were practically the representatives of the Royal Academy.

Originally a top-three powerhouse, the addition of Ye Lang and Fei as unexpected factors, along with the strong emergence of Ye Lanyu and the Seventh Princess, allowed Ye Family Academy to win first place by a narrow margin.

Because of the loss of talent from the Royal Academy, they fell behind in this Ranking Tournament, not only ranking behind the Violet Academy, but also being pushed down by the Vermilion Bird Academy.

After the rankings were calculated, the Holy City held a banquet to celebrate the successful conclusion of the competition. Every academy was invited, and the banquet was held at Miracle Square.

However, Ye Lang did not attend this banquet. At that time, he was engaged in a war with Xuan Yuanbing, a war between the two of them.

"You silly girl, I won't let you go!"

"I must leave!"

"I'll lock you up and see if you can leave!"

"Give it a try..."

"Let's give it a try!!"

At that time, Ye Lang was reading the last few books. He just casually mentioned that he was leaving the next day and was going to leave this place.

Upon hearing Ye Lang's words, Xuan Yuanbing jumped up, trying to stop Ye Lang from leaving. However, this seemed impossible; no one could stop Ye Lang from doing whatever he wanted.

Thus, a small-scale war broke out between the two. As a result, Ye Lang was captured and imprisoned by Xuan Yuanbing. Of course, Xuan Yuanbing himself was also imprisoned along with Ye Lang.

However, she only detained Ye Lang for one night, and released Ye Lang the next day, personally seeing Ye Lang off.

It wasn't just because she had figured things out, but also because she knew she couldn't keep Ye Lang in check. Ye Lang had already disappeared early in the morning, and she knew Ye Lang had run away.

Originally, she thought Ye Lang had already abandoned her and left. She was a little depressed. If she had known this would happen, she should have agreed to Ye Lang's Ye Lang. That way, she could at least have seen him off.

Just as she was regretting it, she discovered that Ye Lang had run back...

"Xuan Yuanbing, I'm leaving!"

"Why did you come back again?" Xuan Yuanbing immediately grabbed Ye Lang and asked a question she couldn't understand.

"I want to say hello to you. Don't even think about catching me. You can't catch me. Even if you lock me up, I can still run away!" Ye Lang said.

"Did you run back just to say hello to me?" Xuan Yuanbing asked.

"Hmm! I think I need to talk to you about this, otherwise I won't be able to leave in peace." Ye Lang nodded and said blankly.

"Silly boy!" Xuan Yuanbing stared at Ye Lang for a while, then hugged him in her arms. At this moment, she felt that even if Ye Lang left her, it would be fine, because he still had her in his heart.

"What are you doing? Don't hug me. I'm leaving now. My sisters are waiting to see me off," Ye Lang said in Xuan Yuanbing's arms.

"Let me hold you for a while, I'll take you home later!" Xuan Yuanbing said softly, holding Ye Lang tightly as he struggled. Soon, Ye Lang gave up struggling.

After a while, Xuan Yuanbing released Ye Lang, then took Ye Lang's hand and left, walking on the main road in the Holy City after leaving the Cloudtop Palace.

In the Holy City, two people were seen walking hand in hand on the road...

In the past, some people would have found it strange and tried to stop the two from holding hands, because Xuan Yuanbing was Holy Maiden and could not be intimate with a man.

But things are different now. Everyone knows about their relationship, and there's nothing that can be done to stop it; we can only learn to adapt!

However, some people who oppose the two of them find it quite nice when they see them together, because they feel good and comfortable with them.

"Little brother, why are you only coming back now? The carriage is already prepared." Ye Lanyu frowned slightly when she saw Ye Lang arrive, seemingly not noticing Xuan Yuanbing beside him.

Beside Ye Lanyu were the Seventh Princess, Ye Zhiqin, and others; there seemed to be quite a few people.
