Breakthrough (1)
"Yes, Ye Lanyu has done very well recently. She doesn't need to go to that level. She can't compare to her Cousin Zhiqing's resilience," the Seventh Princess said. Her words seemed to be helping Ye Lanyu, but they also seemed to be belittling her.
"Tch, what right do you have to talk about me like that? You're no different yourself!"
"I'm taking it step by step. Just because others can do it doesn't mean I can. Constantly comparing myself to others might backfire," the Seventh Princess said.
"That's right. Everyone's physique and characteristics are different. You can compare yourself to others, but you can't force it, or you'll only get the opposite effect." Ye Lang nodded. "Alright, you guys continue. I'll go do some work now!"
"Then get lost and stop hindering my breakthrough!" Ye Lanyu snapped at this moment.
"..."
Ye Lang didn't say anything and left directly, after all, he still had a lot of things to do.
And so the day began. During this period, almost every day was like this, and time would pass by in the familiar routine, and soon it was evening.
Every day at this time, Zhen Xiaoyan would prepare dinner. In the Alchemy Group, her task was relatively light, with Ye Lang and Little Zero being the main force. Usually, after she finished her work, she would still have time to cook.
Perhaps this was Ye Lang's deliberate arrangement. No matter what you do, you must have a regular routine, and the routine of eating must not be broken, especially for something that takes a long time. You must take good care of your body.
At this time, Zhen Xiaoyan would pack the food into a special food box, place it on the long table where they usually ate, and then wait for the person to come back for dinner.
The long table was right by the lake. She could always lean on it, watching the beautiful sunset slowly descend, waiting for the person she was waiting for to return.
For Zhen Xiaoyan, this wait was not torment, but a kind of happiness, a gentle and warm happiness!
And the person she waits for first is usually not the person she most wants to wait for!
"Xiao Yan, I'm going to take a shower and then I'll wait with you!" The Seventh Princess said to Zhen Xiaoyan after returning from her cultivation. She was used to saying this every day.
"Mm!" Zhen Xiaoyan nodded in agreement. She was used to it. At this time, the first to return were usually the Seventh Princess or Ye Lanyu, and the time interval between their returns was very short. Usually, after one of them appeared, the other would appear shortly afterward.
"Xiao Yan, what dishes did you make today?" Ye Lanyu returned shortly after. As soon as she got back, she checked what was for dinner. Only after figuring it out did she go to take a shower.
Then, the three of them waited together!
The fourth person to wait, who will be the fourth to return, will definitely be Ye Zhiqin. Although she tries her best, she always comes back on time for dinner and eats with everyone.
The Little Princess, who had been cultivating with Ye Zhiqin, immediately ran to Ye Lang's side after finishing her cultivation. Of course, she didn't disturb Ye Lang's work; she just sat quietly to the side.
At this moment, Ye Lang also knew that the Little Princess would be nearby. He would usually give her a specific place and set up an Alchemy Array to prevent her from being harmed.
During Ye Lang's alchemy experiments, countless accidents occurred, sometimes with power that was frightening. Fortunately, Ye Lang's own defenses were strong enough that he always emerged unscathed. Naturally, Little Zero and Zhen Xiaoyan's defenses were also very strong, and they too emerged unscathed.
However, such situations would alarm the other girls, causing them to rush over to check on him. Even knowing that Ye Lang always acted this way, and even knowing that Ye Lang was always unharmed, they would still come immediately.
Every time, they would say that it was fortunate that it was here, so that those outside could not hear the noise inside, otherwise, the Ye Clan, especially Long Anqi, would frequently come here.
At the same time, I believe that the people of Ye City will no longer be like they are now, not talking about Ye Lang, but instead guessing what Ye Lang is doing every day and why he often makes such big commotions.
"You say Ye Lang can teach us and guide us, but what level of cultivation does he actually possess?"
During the conversation, Ye Zhiqin suddenly brought up something that everyone had overlooked. Everyone thought that Ye Lang could do anything, but no one had thought about how far Ye Lang himself was capable of.
They are already close to reaching the Heavenly level, yet Ye Lang can still guide them. Doesn't that mean he himself might have already reached the Heavenly level?
This is somewhat unbelievable, especially since Ye Lang uses both martial arts and magic. Doesn't that mean he's a Heavenly-level expert who cultivates both martial arts and magic?
"I'm also curious about this. Why don't we ask him when he comes back?" Ye Lanyu said. She was also very curious. It wasn't that she hadn't thought about it, but she hadn't thought about it in detail.
"Actually, this answer doesn't matter. He will tell us when the time is right," the Seventh Princess said nonchalantly. She didn't care about Ye Lang's strength; as long as he was Ye Lang, that was enough.
"It would be a miracle if he told me. He might not even consider it a big deal. If you don't ask him, he'll never tell you," Ye Lanyu said irritably.
She felt somewhat helpless about Ye Lang's habit. Many times, things that everyone thought were important, Ye Lang thought were unimportant and didn't tell them.
Only after the incident occurred did everyone realize that he had known about it all along...
Just as the sun was about to set, at its most beautiful moment, Ye Lang returned. Without saying hello, he plopped down on a stool and watched the sunset.
He seemed to have rushed over to see the view, and perhaps wanted to share this beautiful moment with everyone!
Everyone was used to Ye Lang's behavior; it happened frequently. Unless Ye Lang forgot the time, he would always come to eat before sunset.
"Dinner's ready!" Ye Lang called out.
"Hmm!" Zhen Xiaoyan got up and took the food out of the food box. The steaming hot food looked as if it had just come out of the pot.
"Little brother, I have a question for you?" Ye Lanyu asked after dinner.
"What's wrong?" Ye Lang asked casually, picking his teeth with a toothpick.
"What kind of strength do you possess? Have you reached the Heavenly level?" Ye Lanyu asked directly.
Ye Lang was also very direct, shaking his head and answering, "No!!"
"Are you lying? You clearly can get us to this level, so how could you not?" Ye Zhiqin asked at this moment, her words were straightforward and without any pretense.
This is Ye Zhiqin's personality, and it also reflects her understanding of Ye Lang. Ye Lang doesn't like beating around the bush; no, it should be said that Ye Lang doesn't understand beating around the bush.
