Who Was Playing Whom (3)

"That's right, you should have said that a long time ago. That's what bullies usually say. I'm not used to you not saying it!" Ye Lang said to the group of thugs.

"What did you say?"

"I am the law!"

"..."

"Alright, I don't have any protection money. Could you move aside and not get in my way while I'm picking up the money?" Ye Lang started picking up money from the ground again at this moment.

"Kid, don't be stubborn and end up getting what's coming to you!" the thugs said.

"I don't drink!" Ye Lang replied casually.

"..." The thugs were silent for a while, then looked at each other.

"Boss, it seems like this kid is playing us?"

"I noticed it too!"

"Then what do we do?"

"What to do?! Of course, we should beat him up!!"

"Superior!"

Several thugs pounced on Ye Lang, intending to teach him a lesson and let Ye Lang know whose territory this was.

"Swish swish..."

The thugs only felt a flash of light before their eyes, and then the kid in front of them disappeared just like that, and they crashed into each other hard.

"Ah!"

"Kid, you think you can just leave?!"

Turning around, they saw Ye Lang walking to one side and hurriedly tried to chase after him, but soon they were tripped by something, which seemed to be their pants.

Their pants had all fallen down by this point...

"Haha..." The people in the square burst into laughter upon seeing this scene.

"Oops, why did my belt break?"

"Boss, we are too..."

"It seems we've been tricked..."

At first, they thought it might just be one person, but when they saw that several people were in the same situation, and looked at the neat cut on the belt, they knew that it had been broken with a sharp weapon.

Just now, it seemed that only Ye Lang was with them!

Could it be him? If so, his attack was incredibly fast!

The thugs looked at Ye Lang in disbelief, wondering if all of this was thanks to him. If so, they would have to consider their own worth and see if they were good enough to go against Ye Lang.

If you can cut your own belt in an instant, you can also cut your own neck at the same time.

This suspicion made them stop chasing Ye Lang and instead think of picking up the money left on the ground. However, when they tried to pick it up, they found that there were no coins left on the ground.

"??"

What's going on? There were still plenty of them under our feet just now. Could it be that kid's fault again?

"Excuse me, where does House Harder live?"

On a street, Ye Lang asked for directions again. He had asked for directions many times before, not because he still couldn't get them, but because he couldn't find his way after asking.

After walking for a while, he lost his way and could not reach his destination.

Before, he was only two blocks away from the House Harder, but now he's a full ten blocks away!

"The House Harder? I'm going there too, let's go together." Ye Lang was lucky this time, he found someone to go with him.

"Thank you!" Ye Lang said.

"Don't mention it. We might need to look after each other in the future," the man said with a smile.

This man was dressed similarly to Ye Lang, both in coarse linen clothes, seemingly ordinary people. Perhaps that's why he felt a sense of kinship with Ye Lang.

Soon, Ye Lang followed that person to House Harder. There were many people gathered at the door, but although there were many people, they seemed to be very orderly and were all queuing up.

Seriously? We have to queue to get in? What's going on with this House Harder? It's always packed!

Ye Lang didn't know that the House Harder wasn't usually this busy. Although they had a lot of visitors, it wasn't to the point of having to queue up.

The reason for this situation is simply that the House Harder is currently holding a recruitment drive. They are looking to hire servants, and the House Harder's servants have always been well-paid. In addition, the House Harder is a large Lineage that has frequent contact with those in power, so many people want to do this job.

Every day, people line up here to go for job interviews, and this number keeps increasing over time!

Ye Lang was unaware of this situation and thought he had to queue to see the person. If the person with him hadn't made him queue, he might have just asked and gone in to find the person.

Although others might not let him in, there's no need to queue.

And so, Ye Lang lined up, lined up, and kept lining up...

"Name, age, special skills..."

"Ye Lang, twenty-two, specializes in swordsmanship, is a swordsman!"

"A swordsman? What level of martial artist are you?"

"I don't know, I haven't taken the test!"

"Then let's go in first!"

Ye Lang finally got to line up, and when others asked him questions, he answered casually, without thinking about why they were asking him these questions.

All he knew was that after answering the question, they let him in and led him to a place.

At this moment, the person who came with Ye Lang looked at Ye Lang with envy, even though the place he was going to was different from Ye Lang's.

This time, the House Harder is recruiting servants from many different areas, almost every position in the mansion is open to people, it's a very large-scale operation, which is the main reason why there are so many people.

The reason that person envied Ye Lang was because Ye Lang was going to be taken to a better place than him, namely the guard post of the House Harder. People who know swordsmanship are naturally taken there.

"Huh?" Ye Lang was a little confused. Why did they separate? Where were the people in front of him taking him? Why didn't they ask him? Did they know who he was looking for?

Perhaps they were seeing too many people, so they were being treated separately. Anyway, this matter didn't necessarily require meeting with Migen first; meeting with other people first and having them relay the message to Migen would be the same.

Thinking this way, Ye Lang continued to follow the people in front of him without a care in the world!

Soon, he arrived at the House Harder's training ground, which was the testing ground for guards. He had to pass through here before they could decide whether or not to invite them.

House Harder hires someone, they naturally need to investigate their background thoroughly. However, they don't do it right away; they only investigate after the candidate has passed the initial screening. Otherwise, how many people would they have to investigate before they could proceed to the second step?

When Ye Lang arrived, everyone looked at him. Some of them were those who were taking the test, and others were naturally the people who were going to take the test.

Regardless of who they were, everyone showed a disdainful expression when they saw Ye Lang. They thought that a commoner like Ye Lang could at most be an ordinary guard, and they didn't have high expectations for him.

Meanwhile, some people noticed the long sword hanging at Ye Lang's waist. They found it a bit strange, as the sword looked a little small. Could it withstand battle Battle Qi techniques?
