I Came to Find You (3)
"I don't think chasing you is a waste of time, so I shouldn't do it." Ye Lang said without thinking much. At this moment, he didn't care much about the people lying in ambush beside him, as if they were nothing.
"If you dare say that again, believe me, I'll chop you in half with my sword!!" Li Yue roared, brandishing her sword as if she were about to pounce on him.
"Stop, stop. I was just saying. Those things have already happened, and there's no point in saying anything more." Ye Lang was also afraid that Li Yue would draw her sword. It wasn't that he was afraid of Li Yue, but he just didn't want to have any conflict with her.
"Hmph! You know that's good. If you want to shirk responsibility, I won't let you off the hook, even if you go to the ends of the earth!" Li Yue snorted.
"What responsibility do I have? I didn't do anything to you, I just deceived your feelings," Ye Lang said blankly.
"..." Everyone was speechless. You made it sound so easy. Deceiving a girl's feelings is a serious matter, and it seems that you have succeeded in deceiving her. Otherwise, Li Yue would not have said such a thing.
"You brat, what exactly did you do to my daughter? What are you responsible for?!" Li Tianjun listened to Li Yue and Ye Lang's conversation and felt more and more uneasy.
"I didn't do anything to her. I have principles. I only deceived her feelings, not her body. Don't slander me," Ye Lang said, shaking his head and vehemently denying the accusations.
"What do you mean no? You've held me and seen my body..." Li Yue said with a smile.
"That was unavoidable. You were almost raped, and I only saw it by accident while saving you. I thought I was doing it willingly. As for holding you, that was only because you were poisoned," Ye Lang said casually, leaving Li Tianjun stunned.
"Why didn't you get rid of the poison? With your abilities, Thirteenth Young Master, it would be easy for you to get rid of a poison. You just wanted to hug me on purpose and take advantage of me." Li Yue said angrily. She got angry just thinking about it. She immediately thought of this matter after Ye Lang's identity was revealed.
With Ye Lang's abilities, it would be easy for him to counteract the Ten Fragrance Weakening Powder. Even Zhao Yarou could concoct an antidote, so how could he, an alchemical genius, not be able to?
He let himself be weakened for so many days for nothing, which was obviously a deliberate attempt to detoxify him, just to take advantage of him while he was weak.
However, it feels quite nice to be taken care of by him...
Although Li Yue was angry, it was only temporary. In fact, she was mostly happy because she was able to enjoy Ye Lang's care at that time, which was something very few people could enjoy and could be said to be unique.
Because of this, even though she was very angry that Ye Lang had deceived her, she didn't actually need Ye Lang to do anything. As long as Ye Lang could make her feel a little angry and coax her a little, she would let the matter pass.
However, given Ye Lang's personality, it seems he can only make her angry, and it's practically impossible for him to make her happy.
"Cure the poison? That would just let you know who I am. I'm not that stupid," Ye Lang said bluntly.
"..."
"What did you just say? What? She's about to be raped?" At this moment, Li Tianjun spoke up, filled with deep anger. He had just recovered from his shock.
Any father would react the same way upon hearing that his daughter was almost raped: shock, followed by rage...
Fortunately, he hadn't let his anger cloud his judgment. Some people, on the other hand, would have pointed at Ye Lang asked him what he had done without even thinking.
With just a little thought, it becomes clear that this matter has nothing to do with Ye Lang; it's obvious that Ye Lang is the benefactor who saved Li Yue from the clutches of evil.
"Her! Back then, all her clothes were taken by that Li Xiande..." Ye Lang said, unaware that there were some things he shouldn't have said.
"Ye Lang!!" Li Yue tried to shout at Ye Lang, but it seemed too late; Ye Lang had already uttered the name Li Xiande.
"What?" Ye Lang asked.
"You're such a big idiot!!" Li Yue really wanted to kick Ye Lang.
"Li Yue, what did Li Xiande do to you? Does Li Xiande want to die? Don't think that just because he's the son of the Sword Saint he can act with impunity. He dared to touch my daughter. I will never forgive him!" Li Tianjun furious. If Li Xiande were in front of him at this moment, he would have killed Li Xiande without hesitation.
"That's right, he was courting death, so I killed him..." Ye Lang's words were always shocking.
What? He killed the Sword Saint's son? This is the second time, and the Sword Saint only seems to have two sons. Doesn't this mean the Sword Saint has run out of sons?
How pitiful!
"Bang!" Li Yue appeared beside Ye Lang some point and gave him a hard knock on the head. She really wanted to crack open his head to see what was inside, since he was sometimes so confused.
"Why did you hit me!" Ye Lang said innocently.
"Don't you have enough trouble already? Do you want the Empire's First Sword Saint to hunt you down? Not only did you reveal Li Xiande's affair, but you also admitted to killing him. Even if you had revealed it, it wouldn't have mattered. At most, you would have denied it. When he disappeared, who would have known that you killed him? But now you've actually admitted it yourself!!" Li Yue was a little angry, but her anger was because of Ye Lang.
Everyone found Li Yue's unusual behavior a bit strange, but what they found even stranger was—
"Ahem, it seems we're here to arrest Thirteenth Young Master, but things are getting a little strange. It seems we're here to see Thirteenth Young Master reminisce with Miss Li Yue."
This situation is really strange; there's no sense of tension at all!
After this reminder, Li Yue seemed to realize the problem and wanted to back off, wanting to quietly watch Ye Lang get arrested without helping either side.
"Wait a minute, we'll talk about your business later!" Ye Lang didn't let Li Yue leave at this moment. He reached out and grabbed Li Yue's hand. After being grabbed, Li Yue didn't struggle. She just looked at Ye Lang curiously.
Ye Lang continued, "Li Yue, I want to clarify one thing: I will not deny that I killed Li Xiande, because he deserved to die. I don't mind if your empire's number one sword saint comes looking for trouble. I only kept it a secret before because I didn't want him to ruin my plans here, but now it's no longer necessary!"
No, it's unnecessary. Once he leaves Soaring Sky Empire, does Ye Lang still need to fear the Sword Saint? They already have a grudge, so one more time won't make any difference!
