A Single Arrow Kill (1)
Seeing Li Yue walk alone in one direction, Ye Lang immediately ran ahead in that direction. He was preparing to give Li Yue a "surprise"—a surprise was certain, but a pleasant surprise was another matter!
After Li Yue left, some of the pretentious nobles followed her. Their target was Li Yue; they were Li Yue suitors. Although Li Yue hadn't invited them, how could they possibly let such an opportunity slip by?
Not only these people, but also some of those who had already entered were paying attention to Li Yue, wanting to create an opportunity to spend this Hunting Competition with Li Yue.
Ye Lang had already anticipated all of this; even the dumbest person could have foreseen it, let alone someone who wasn't dumb, just a little slow-witted. But what he never expected was that Zhao Yarou, that perverted woman, would actually have someone pursuing her.
"Damn, are these guys crazy? They even dare to get close to this woman!"
When Ye Lang saw Zhao Yarou move, he realized that the number of people following her seemed to be no less than Li Yue's, and in fact, there were many more!
This was something Ye Lang hadn't expected, but it was also quite reasonable. In Ye Lang's eyes, Zhao Yarou was a pervert, a dangerous being who couldn't be approached, but this wasn't the case for others.
Some people think that although Zhao Yarou is dangerous, if you can win her heart, she will definitely turn into an obedient rabbit and become a harmless and cute little woman.
Ye Lang's response was that this was absolutely wishful thinking. Zhao Yarou, that pervert, could never become like that. She might just go crazy one day and kill the person she loves.
However, some people knew this situation and may have already foreseen their own death, but they still pursued Zhao Yarou without hesitation!
These people weren't looking for death; they were simply drawn to Zhao Yarou's incredibly tempting position, possessing a fatal allure!
The identity of an Empress of an empire alone explains everything!
At the pinnacle of power, some people would be happy and have no regrets even if they died there...
"Don't bother with these people, they don't deserve any sympathy!" Cold-Blooded Fifth said in the shadows, having seen far too many of these kinds of people.
"Hmm! I don't have time to deal with them, I'm already too busy to handle anything!" Ye Lang frowned and asked, "Little Five, what do you think is the best way for me to appear in front of Li Yue? What method should I use?"
"Whatever, you can use a brick, what are you thinking?!" Cold-Blooded Fifth didn't care at all, and even looked down on Ye Lang a little. If he could do something like that, why bother thinking? Just go pick up something and ask if it was dropped by Li Yue.
"That makes sense, let's use these leaves... But Little Five, we've already used this trick, wouldn't it be inappropriate to use it again?" Ye Lang picked up a leaf and held it in his hand, saying with some difficulty.
"You know it's not appropriate, right? Actually, it would be better to use another method. You can slowly walk out and say to her, 'Miss Li Yue, what a coincidence, we meet again!'" Cold-Blooded Fifth said. This seems to be a more normal method, and it's something many people would use.
"Change it!" Ye Lang said directly.
"??" Cold-Blooded Fifth was slightly puzzled. She felt that given Ye Lang's personality, how could he reject this? Even if it was very ordinary, Ye Lang should still use it.
Soon, Cold-Blooded Fifth realized that there was a young nobleman standing in front of Li Yue, and this young nobleman seemed to be using this trope.
"Miss Li Yue, what a coincidence that we meet here, it's truly fate!"
"Get out of the way! Don't block my way!!"
Clearly, this was a failure!
"Miss Li Yue, the weather is so nice today..."
"..."
Fail...
"Little Five, think of something else!" Ye Lang urged, watching Li Yue getting closer and closer.
"That's it. I didn't expect Li Yue to have so many suitors. They've used every method I could think of!" Cold-Blooded Fifth had given up and didn't want to say anything more about this issue.
Along the way, countless people have encountered Li Yue by chance and tried to strike up a conversation, using all sorts of methods, including everything Cold-Blooded Fifth could think of and nothing he couldn't. However, the result was always the same: none of them succeeded.
Even Cold-Blooded Fifth found this situation somewhat unbelievable!
"Forget it, you don't need to think about it!" Ye Lang replied. It wasn't that he was disappointed in Cold-Blooded Fifth, but rather that there was no time left, since Li Yue was already by his side.
"Ford Fox?" Li Yue spoke first when she saw Ye Lang. She wanted to ask Ye Lang why he hadn't appeared before.
"Hi, Miss Li Yue, are you here for the hunt too? Me too! Let's go together!" Ye Lang seemed to have nothing more to say.
"..." Everyone fell silent.
Everyone knows that people come here to hunt, and you're definitely waiting here. But you're quite straightforward; you just said we should go together!
"Hmph! Who wants to be with you? What we said before is in the past!" Li Yue snorted. She was very unhappy with Ye Lang's previous rejection. Although he made amends later, what does it matter now? They're not even going to set off together.
"No way, how can you go back on your word? I've been waiting for you here!" Ye Lang said immediately, revealing that he had been waiting for Li Yue.
"Are you waiting for me here?" Li Yue suddenly thought of this.
"Of course, otherwise what would I be doing here? Waiting for those people behind you... Sigh, I've waited in vain. I can only go hunting alone..." Ye Lang seemed a little disappointed. It seemed that he had failed this time. It looked like he would have to find an opportunity to bump into her by chance.
Wait, Athena's people? Didn't she say she was going to assign us some tasks?
"Wait a minute! You didn't leave with me this morning, was it because you were waiting here?" Li Yue asked.
"Let's set off together? Why? Have we made such a promise before?" Ye Lang asked, somewhat puzzled.
"...No! Fine, I'll go with you since you waited for me." Li Yue said expressionlessly at this moment.
She wouldn't admit that she waited for Ye Lang at her doorstep that morning, and now she seems to have realized that they hadn't actually agreed to set off together, but only to hunt together.
"Okay, together!" Ye Lang nodded, and at the same time he sent a message to Cold-Blooded Fifth, because he seemed to have remembered something!
"Little Five, why should I think about how to strike up a conversation? Li Yue and I agreed to go hunting together, so why don't I just ask her to come along?"
"Yes!" Cold-Blooded Fifth in a cold sweat.
"Then why did you say so much before?"
"..."
