I'm Here to Find You (1)
"I know all this. If you go out like this, and he shows up, it won't be easy to catch him... Wait, daughter, you don't want us to catch him, so you're going out?" Li Tianjun suddenly realized this problem.
Li Yue going out like this is most advantageous for Ye Lang, as it will disrupt Zhao Yarou's plans and give Ye Lang a great deal of convenience.
Given Li Yue's personality, keeping her at home wouldn't be a big problem. Li Tianjun believed that normally, she would be obedient if he kept her at home, unlike now.
Therefore, there must be a problem here, and after thinking about it, the only thing that comes to mind is that she wanted to reduce the trouble for Ye Lang and didn't want him to fall into Zhao Yarou's hands.
Li Yue is now surrounded by a tight trap set by Zhao Yarou, and all that's left is for Ye Lang to arrive!
"Yes! I don't want him to be caught by Zhao Yarou, especially because of me!!" Li Yue nodded, unexpectedly admitting it directly.
"Why?" Li Tianjun was very surprised, his mouth wide open. Perhaps it wasn't because of Li Yue's answer, but because of Li Yue's attitude, this attitude of disregarding everything.
There are more than just Li Yue and Li Tianjun here; there are others, both overt and covert. Li Yue's words will surely reach Zhao Yarou's ears.
"For no reason, I just can't stand it. However, I won't ruin your plans. I just won't participate. Under permissible conditions, I'll create a good opportunity for him." Li Yue clearly didn't want to explain the reason, but it was certain that she was on Ye Lang's side.
However, although she sided with Ye Lang, as a soldier, she continued to obey orders and would not do anything outside of those orders, nor would she do anything to hinder Zhao Yarou. This was the best she could do.
"..." Li Tianjun looked at Li Yue in silence for a long while before slowly asking, "You... have you fallen for that Ye Clan thirteenth boy?"
"Huh? Of course not, Father, what nonsense are you talking about?!" Li Yue was stunned for a moment, then immediately denied it, and at this moment, her face couldn't help but blush a little.
"Really not?" Li Tianjun a little doubtful, and his expression became somewhat strange.
"No!! I hate him! He lied to me twice. Humph, if I ever see him again, I'll tear him to pieces..." Li Yue said hurriedly, seemingly a little anxious.
At this moment, Li Tianjun was about to say something, but a voice came and made him freeze in surprise.
"Damn, you don't have to be so harsh. I didn't lie to you on purpose. The first time it was the astrologer who said it, and this time it was someone else's suggestion."
"It's you, it's you! You believe whatever the astrologer says? He said you can go die, so are you going to go too? Also, if you want the Heavenly Mechanism Armor this time, just say so. It's not like I won't lend it to you. Do you really need to... wait..." Li Yue hadn't reacted yet and was still shouting angrily. Soon, she realized something was wrong.
"You... you... how did you get here?" Li Yue pointed in one direction, utterly shocked.
"..." Li Tianjun and the others fell silent. They all stared at the newcomer with the same expression, looking dumbfounded, as if they had witnessed the most unexpected thing in the world.
That's right, this is probably the most unexpected thing for them. What are they here for? To capture Ye Lang. They had expected Ye Lang to appear, and they had expected Ye Lang to appear in many ways.
However, even if they had considered many possibilities, they could never have imagined it would be in this way. They never expected Ye Lang to appear so quickly and in this manner.
Without a doubt, the person who made the sound was Ye Lang. He walked in slowly, his expression as if he were entering the home of a relative or friend, without any hint of trespassing.
This situation would be unbelievable to anyone. If Zhao Yarou were here, she would stay for a long time before reacting.
"I came to find you," Ye Lang replied casually.
"Why?" Li Yue asked. Her question was not why he was looking for her, but why Ye Lang was doing this.
"I want your Heavenly Mechanism Armor," Ye Lang said directly, unaware of what Li Yue wanted to ask.
"I know you want the Heavenly Mechanism Armor, but why? Why do you want the Heavenly Mechanism Armor? You're willing to risk coming here alone for it, knowing how difficult it is, yet you still do it!" Li Yue said to Ye Lang, and there was another sentence she only said in her heart, without the courage to ask it out loud.
Is it worth it for you to pursue me just for this?
"I only borrowed this to study it, I'll return it to you. I can give you something in exchange. How about this Dragon Scale Armor..." Ye Lang took out a piece of scale armor at this moment, the faint blue light of which made people feel that this thing was no ordinary item.
"Dragon Scale Armor? This... isn't this the legendary defensive artifact made from azure dragon scales? How come it's in his hands? And its value is even higher than the Heavenly Mechanism Armor!! What exactly does he want to do?"
When Ye Lang took out the Dragon Scale Armor, Li Tianjun and the others were stunned. They couldn't understand what Ye Lang wanted to do. It was obvious that it wasn't just for the defensive capabilities of the Heavenly Mechanism Armor, because Ye Lang had something of even greater value.
Even without the Dragon Scale Armor, no one would believe that Ye Lang came solely for the Heavenly Mechanism Armor. It's truly baffling. Who is Ye Lang? He represents the pinnacle of alchemy and is also a notorious Prodigal Son. The Heavenly Mechanism Armor is utterly insignificant to him.
Even if it's worthy of his attention, he wouldn't risk it for the Heavenly Mechanism Armor!
"Why do you want our Li Family's Heavenly Mechanism Armor? You already have the Dragon Scale Armor. Besides, you already said you understood my Heavenly Mechanism Armor thoroughly and didn't need to look at it anymore. You said you could make an even better one," Li Yue said, looking at Ye Lang.
Many people know about this. Back then, Ye Lang took the Heavenly Mechanism Armor and studied it for quite a while. Given the relationship between the two families at the time, plus Ye Lang's alchemy skills, Ye Lang easily borrowed it.
Therefore, Li Yue found this matter strange, and others also felt it was a bit odd.
Meanwhile, those nearby began to approach Ye Lang and notified others to carefully complete the encirclement. What they wanted most was for Ye Lang and Li Yue to continue talking, as more time would allow them to make more arrangements.
Now they just hope that Ye Lang won't discover these actions!
