Acting Alone

"Your Majesty, how can you be so sure he'll come looking for me? In the current situation, he should have fled far away. He's already been exposed, he won't come looking for me again..." Li Yue frowned, seemingly thinking that this was impossible.

Li Yue felt a little disappointed. She thought that Ye Lang would never have come for her if he didn't have ulterior motives.

"I believe he will come back. You haven't gotten your Heavenly Mechanism Armor yet, so he will come again! He's the kind of person who's stubborn and will never give up easily until he achieves his goal!" Zhao Yarou shook her head and looked at the night sky with a smile.

"Huh?" Everyone looked at Zhao Yarou in confusion, and Li Yue was even more puzzled.

In everyone's perception, Ye Lang seemed to be the kind of clueless person who didn't care about anything. How could he be the kind of person Zhao Yarou described, who wouldn't give up easily until he achieved his goal? Ye Lang was definitely not the kind of person to be described.

How did His Majesty come to the conclusion that the Thirteenth Young Master is that kind of person? I don't understand, I absolutely don't understand!

Your Majesty, this must be your imagination...

"Is that really true?" Li Yue murmured.

"I don't mind if you doubt my judgment. Just watch when the time comes. You can hurt him, even if he's half-dead, but you absolutely cannot let him die!!" Zhao Yarou's tone turned icy cold at the end, making it clear that anyone who dared to disobey this order would surely die!

Perhaps it's not just about death!

However, based on Zhao Yarou's words, no one would think that Zhao Yarou was worried about Ye Lang. If she were worried, why would she say that as long as he doesn't die, she'll do anything?

However, if I'm not nervous, how do I explain all those things that happened before? How do I explain the reason for this birthday party? How do I explain Zhao Yarou's happy smile before? How do I explain Zhao Yarou's different attitude towards Ye Lang?

Could it be simply because she wanted to capture Ye Lang? That seems to be the only explanation, but it also seems a bit far-fetched.

But so what if it doesn't make sense? If Zhao Yarou is said to care about Ye Lang, then it's even more unreasonable, since they are mortal enemies.

"Yes, sir!" Li Yue immediately straightened her posture and responded in the manner of a subordinate. In front of Zhao Yarou, she was indeed a subordinate. Just now, because of Ye Lang's matter, she had been a little distracted.

Even if Zhao Yarou is wrong or makes the wrong arrangements, she has to listen and cannot have any objections!

"I'll remind you again, you can only capture him alive. If that doesn't work, let him escape!" Zhao Yarou said.

"??" Everyone was stunned again. They understood that they could only capture him alive, but the last sentence about letting him escape was puzzling. In such situations, people would usually say that it's better to destroy him than let someone else get him.

It's probably because Ye Lang's identity is too sensitive now. If any party were to kill him, it would cause a lot of trouble, and no one could afford to bear such trouble.

Yes, that should be it!

Regardless of Zhao Yarou's thoughts, it is 100% certain that she has people lying in wait around Li Yue to capture Ye Lang, and that she has many experts to carry out the plan. It seems to be no less impressive than the arrangements made at the birthday banquet.

At this moment, Ye Lang had already disappeared into the night in the Imperial City, and no one could find his whereabouts except for Cold-Blooded Fifth, who was by his side.

As for why Cold-Blooded Fifth was by his side, it wasn't because Cold-Blooded Fifth knew Ye Lang was flying over here, but because Ye Lang had notified Cold-Blooded Fifth to come when he left.

"Little Five, let's go back and prepare for the next operation!!"

"What? What happened in there? Why did you escape like this? Did you get discovered?" Cold-Blooded Fifth was still unaware of what had happened. He only knew that Ye Lang had left the Imperial Palace in an abnormal way, which was, in essence, an escape!

"Yes, we've been discovered!" Ye Lang nodded, replying very calmly, as if he were talking about something very ordinary.

"..." Cold-Blooded Fifth was silent for a moment, then said, "Then let's evacuate immediately!"

"No need! They won't find me. I'm just one person, too insignificant! This matter isn't over yet. I still need to think of a way. You go and inform Cold-Blooded Seventh, and I'll inform Athena! We'll meet at the Wind Flower Snow Moon Tower!" After Ye Lang finished speaking, he disappeared into the night, leaving no trace.

Concealment is a skill that Cold-Blooded Fifth possesses, and Ye Lang also knows it!

There is a connection between the two. Ye Lang learned from Cold-Blooded Fifth, but now Cold-Blooded Fifth can no longer teach Ye Lang anything.

The Wind, Flower, Snow, and Wind Flower Snow Moon Tower was a place that Zhao Yarou and the others knew about but always ignored. They didn't think Ye Lang would go there again because it was too obvious.

However, Ye Lang chose that place once again, perhaps because the most dangerous place is also the safest place!

Ye Lang's decision to notify Cold-Blooded Seventh and Athena at this time was, in principle, a rather dangerous thing. If this were discovered, it would become very troublesome.

However, given Cold-Blooded Seventh and Athena's shrewdness, it's impossible for them to be discovered, not even Zhao Yarou!

Previously, Ye Lang and his group were in the open while Zhao Yarou was in the shadows, and no one noticed them. Now that Athena and Cold-Blooded Seventh are even more vigilant, it's even less likely that they will be discovered.

Besides, at this time, Ye Lang's whereabouts are a mystery to Zhao Yarou and the others. If they can find Athena and the others, it will be the same as finding Ye Lang's existence.

"Young Master, why do you like this place of pleasure so much? You called me here so late at night, what do you want to do to me?" Athena quietly appeared in the Wind Flower Snow Moon Tower, found Ye Lang lying in the courtyard, and asked with a grin.

Before coming here, Athena was worried about Ye Lang's situation, but only about his situation in the Imperial Palace. She was most afraid that something unexpected would happen to Ye Lang in the Imperial Palace. Now that Ye Lang was safe and sound in front of her, she naturally didn't have to worry about anything.

As long as people are alive, everything else can be resolved gradually!

"You're here? Sit down for a while, we'll wait for Little Five Wu and the others to arrive." Ye Lang said softly without moving.

Athena didn't say anything else, and sat down next to Ye Lang. The bluestone steps made her feel a chill, but perhaps because she was next to Ye Lang, the chill wasn't so bad.

At this moment, Ye Lang was lying on the bluestone steps, without any tables or chairs!
