Leng Xuewu (3)

Everyone fell silent. Those who didn't know what Ye Lang was talking about, and those who didn't know what Leng Xue Ling or Leng Xueqi were talking about, had no idea.

Those who knew the truth were speechless; the supposedly ruthless Cold-Blooded Group had been turned into the Cold Snow Group by him.

"Leng Xuewu, these are good names. Actually, Leng Xue is a good surname. How about we..." The Empress Dowager murmured, as if she had a new idea about the Cold-Blooded Group, specifically regarding their names.

The Empress Dowager thought the name Leng Xue was quite good. If people simply said "cold-blooded," they would understand the meaning. As a secret organization, the name should be more subtle.

The numerical code names are too simple. They can choose a new code name from now on, which is to use Leng Xue and Leng Xue as surnames and the rest as given names.

Of course, the cold-blooded numerical code will still be retained, as it represents identity!

Because of this, the Cold-Blooded Group began to undergo a strange change. From then on, the title "Cold-Blooded Fifth" became just a ranking, and very few people used it as a real name.

This made the Cold-Blooded Group even more secretive...

And from then on, the surname Leng Xue was added...

"Leng Xuewu, Xiaowu, these are very good names." Long Anqi said with a smile. Obviously, she also knew Cold-Blooded Fifth, but as someone close to Ye Lang, she felt that a more normal name was needed, especially for a girl.

"My name is Cold-Blooded Fifth!" Cold-Blooded Fifth coldly corrected.

"Alright, it's decided then. Little Five, from now on, you'll be called Leng Xuewu in front of others. Do you really want to tell people that you're the king of assassins in the Cold-Blooded Group?" Ye Lang waved his hand and said casually.

"The King of Assassins?!"

Almost everyone was surprised by Ye Lang's title. Looking at Cold-Blooded Fifth's petite figure, although she was cold, no one could tell that she was a ruthless killer.

"Okay, that works too! So you want me to be by your side openly, instead of protecting you in secret like before?" Cold-Blooded Fifth Ye Lang, his tone very calm, as if he were asking a very ordinary question.

"Yes! No need. The situation was different before, and it's not necessary now," Ye Lang nodded and said.

"Okay, but I'm only responsible for your safety. I won't do anything else. If you want to pick up girls, I won't help you. Also, don't say I'm getting in your way," Cold-Blooded Fifth said.

"I know, there's no need to lie to anyone now, so why would I bother picking up girls?" Ye Lang said nonchalantly.

"Little Seven, can you understand what they're saying?" Ye Lanyu frowned.

"I can understand some of it! First, Ye Lang said that Leng Xuewu is an assassin, and the queen of assassins. Second, Leng Xuewu used to protect Ye Lang. Third, it seems that they used to date girls together." The Seventh Princess summarized.

Ye Lanyu nodded, thinking that the Seventh Princess made a lot of sense, so what were you waiting for?

"Ye Lang, explain yourself! Have you been cheating on me with other women behind my back?!" The Seventh Princess rushed to Ye Lang's side and questioned him loudly. As his fiancée, she had the right to do so.

"No, I didn't." Ye Lang immediately shook his head in denial.

"So what were you guys talking about just now, picking up girls?"

"It was about pursuing Li Yue. At that time, Little Five was right next to me offering to be my bodyguard. The ones who came up with the ideas were Athena and Cold-Blooded Seventh," Ye Lang said.

"Athena? Who is that?"

"A Fox Spirit, uh, a Fox Tribe girl, who was very clever. She helped a lot back then."

"By the way, tell me about this..."

"It's like this..."

Ye Lang began to recount these things, which were also what they wanted to know. Although there had been reports about them, they still needed to ask the person in question to find out.

The Little Princess looked at Ye Lang with her big eyes, sitting next to Ye Lang and listening intently.

"You just said that what Zhao Yarou found, could it be this underground ruin you mentioned?"

"Yes! This is it."

What's in there?

"I've examined it; the essence of the entire Tiangong Yue Clan is contained within. If we can fully study what's inside, then her domination of the entire continent will be just around the corner!!"

"..."

Everyone fell silent. They didn't want to see Zhao Yarou get such a powerful item. Given Zhao Yarou twisted personality, who knew what she might do?

"You don't need to worry!" Ye Lang said.

"Of course I'm worried!! You little fool, why didn't you just kill Zhao Yarou back then? There were only the three of you then, don't tell me you couldn't kill her." Princess Longji squeezed Ye Lang's hand to vent her emotions.

"How could I possibly have the chance to kill her? And don't underestimate her. If you encounter her in the future, don't do anything to her, or you'll be the ones who suffer," Ye Lang warned.

"Could she eat me? I really don't know what your relationship is. Why doesn't she kill you, and why don't you kill her? Are you enemies?" Princess Longji couldn't understand it at all.

Many people are confused about this issue. Ye Lang and Zhao Yarou seem to be mortal enemies, but neither of them seems to want to kill the other. They both had the opportunity to kill each other, but they didn't do so.

"What good would killing her do? It would only cause chaos in the Soaring Sky Empire, and the common people would suffer. Imperial City is; to the common people, it's all the same. She was a good emperor," Ye Lang said casually.

"..."

Ye Lang's words made people think deeply, as they had never considered these issues before. They had only thought about the struggle for power and how to deal with enemies, but they had never considered things from the perspective of ordinary people.

From the perspective of ordinary people, it doesn't matter who the leaders are, as long as they are not oppressed.

"You don't need to worry. Those things can't be digested in a year or two. From organizing to applying, and then to preparing, it's impossible without twenty years," Ye Lang said casually.

To contend for the world, one needs to prepare far more than just a few things. Therefore, even if Zhao Yarou obtains the ruins, she will still need to painstakingly manage them for many years before they become useful.

"Twenty years, everything could have changed..." Princess Longji and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, they also planned to do something to keep an eye on Zhao Yarou's development.

"Now tell me, how did you end up going to the Aila Empire, and how did you bring this Little Princess with you?"

"Oh, that's a coincidence..."

Ye Lang started talking again. He found that his mouth was almost dry from talking so much. Why did these people have so many questions? Fortunately, everyone was here now, so he didn't have to repeat himself.

"Ah..."

"You actually pretended to be poor, and you're being so hard on yourself..."
