Departure and Return (1)

Do you remember what Long Anqi's attribute was? It was the rare Ice type!

This should have been a happy occasion, because a special ice element can only benefit a person's future achievements, and Long Anqi's current strength proves this point.

However, this only applies to ordinary families and ordinary people!

Long Anqi is a member of the royal family of the Vermilion Bird Empire. Without exception, all members of the royal family of the Vermilion Bird Empire are of the fire element, which is why they have the legend of the Vermilion Bird bloodline.

However, Long Anqi is of the ice attribute, which made the royal family think there was something wrong with her. They raised her outside from a young age and never told anyone that she was a princess, rarely mentioning her existence.

Because of this, Princess Long Anqi was rarely known, or even unknown to anyone. Over time, even members of the royal family were unaware of her existence, and even Long Anqi's own siblings were unaware of having such a sister.

Simply put, Long Anqi is an abandoned being!

Even so, Long Anqi wouldn't have minded anything and wouldn't have stopped seeing each other altogether. However, she later met Ye Chengtian by chance and fell in love with him, but this was suddenly opposed by the Vermilion Bird Empire.

At that time, some members of the royal family said that Long Anqi was the princess of Zhuque, so how could she be with someone from the Soaring Sky Ye Family? It was absolutely impossible.

As a result, Long Anqi became furious. "You never treated yourselves as princesses, or even as royalty, so why are you suddenly trying to stop us?"

It seems that when they tried to stop the two from being together, a series of conflicts occurred, and some people were even injured or killed, all of which were on Suzaku's side.

Ye Lang didn't know the specifics, and Ye Chengtian and Ye Lang didn't go into details. They seemed unwilling to mention it because they felt that the matter was already in the past and there was no need to talk about it anymore; it was meaningless!

Seeing this, Ye Lang naturally didn't press the matter. Whether he was pretending to be confused or genuinely confused, he simply let the matter pass.

One day, when Ye Chengtian and his wife were preparing to return home in a couple of days, they discovered that someone had already run away because they couldn't wait any longer!

"What? You're saying that little bastard has already run away?" Long Anqi seemed to jump up and down, as if she had heard something intolerable.

"Yes, Auntie, that little rascal actually ran away without telling us! He left a note saying he's already back in Ye City and is waiting for you Ye City! Honestly, he couldn't even wait two days!" Princess Longji said with a hint of complaint, quite annoyed by Ye Lang 'Ye Lang sudden departure. She secretly vowed to give him a good beating if she encountered him again.

Of course, she's made this vow many times, but it seems she's never fulfilled it!

"Mom and Dad, has my brother left?" Ye Lanyu ran over at this moment, as if she had also received the news.

"Yes!" Long Anqi nodded.

"Damn Little Seven, I thought she was doing something mysterious yesterday, turns out she secretly ran away with her brother! Humph, just wait, I'll beat you up when we get back!!" Ye Lanyu said through gritted teeth, feeling even more frustrated. Why didn't they ask her to come along? Were they afraid she wouldn't be able to keep the secret?

"It's not just Little Seven Qi who left, it seems Liu Feiyan and the others left too... Lan Yu, you're such a failed sister, Ye Lang took everyone with him, but not you!!" Princess Longji gave Ye Lanyu a little provocation at this moment.

"Hmph!!" Ye Lanyu snorted.

"That little brat..." The Empress Dowager gritted her teeth upon receiving the news, but there was nothing she could do.

Two days later, Ye Chengtian and the others also set off, heading back to Ye City. They hoped to catch up with Ye Lang on the way, so they deliberately sped up their journey.

However, when they finally arrived in Ye City, they did not catch up with Ye Lang, or rather, they did not encounter Ye Lang!

At the New Ye Residence in Ye City, Ye Chengtian and his entourage returned weary from their journey, but few people came to greet them. This was not because something special had happened, but rather because such things were common in the Ye Clan —they would go out for some business and then return.

Unless it's something important, no one will go out of their way to welcome them back. Since Ye Chengtian and the others went out for personal reasons, no one will be there to greet them.

At most, we'd exchange greetings after bumping into each other, like when we happened to run into Seventh Brother in the courtyard...

"Fifth Uncle, Fifth Aunt, you're back!" Seventh Brother greeted everyone, then prepared to walk around and continue with his business.

As for Uncle Wu, just like Ye Lang and the others, Ye Chengtian was the fifth in his generation!

"Hmm! You're back! Seventh Brother, wait a minute, don't rush off!" Ye Chengtian called out to Seventh Brother, who was about to leave.

Seventh Brother stopped in response, looked at Ye Chengtian with some confusion, and asked, "Fifth Uncle, is there anything else?"

"Has your thirteenth brother returned yet?" Ye Chengtian asked.

"Thirteen? He didn't come back. Is he coming back? If so, he should have come back with you. Didn't you meet in the Vermilion Bird Empire? Could it be that he didn't come?" Seventh Brother asked in surprise, blurting out all the questions that had been on his mind. He spoke so fast that no one could interrupt him.

"He did arrive! He said he would come back with us, but he came back two days early. Logically, he should have arrived before us," Ye Chengtian said.

"He hasn't arrived yet, he's probably lost again! You know that better than I do! I'm wondering why he's two days early, can't you all come together?" Seventh Brother looked at Ye Chengtian, quite puzzled.

Everyone in the Ye Clan knows that Ye Lang has no sense of direction, so why would they ask him to come back two days early instead of coming back together?

"We wanted to too! He couldn't stand the situation in Longcheng, so he came back early without saying a word. But he shouldn't get lost this time. He's with Little Seven and Liu Feiyan and the others." Ye Lanyu interjected at this moment, her expression quite resentful. This expression told Seventh Brother not to provoke Ye Lanyu.

Ye Lanyu is a formidable figure within the Ye Clan, and few dare to provoke her. When people know that Ye Lanyu is in a bad mood, everyone will keep their distance.

"He was probably delayed on the way, he'll be here in a few days! It's good that he's here, I have a lot of things to discuss with him, he's caused us a lot of trouble along the way!!" Seventh Brother changed the subject, and he was quite happy to see Ye Lang return.
