As Ye Lang left the Li residence, he was spotted by a passerby at a corner. He could evade the Soaring Sky officials, but not the common folk; they were everywhere. "Thirteenth Young Master..." The passerby paused, surprised, as Ye Lang crossed in front of him, holding Li Yue. He hadn't expected Ye Lang to appear before him. In that moment, he felt he should place a bet; his luck was truly amazing. At the same time, he noticed Li Yue and felt a little strange. Why was Thirteenth Young Master running with Miss Li Yue? What was he doing?
Before the group could process what was happening, knights in black armor appeared. They were Zhao Yarou's knights, and everyone in Xiangkong was aware of their presence. One of the knights asked, "Have you seen Ye Lang?" "No! Is Thirteenth Young Master here?" The group immediately shook their heads, feigning excitement, as they tried to find Ye Lang. "Tsk, who doesn't know that the Queen and Thirteenth Young Master are sworn enemies? Telling you wouldn't be sending Thirteenth Young Master to his death? Would I do that? If I did, I'd be utterly despised." Because of this, even if Ye Lang walked through the streets of Xiangkong Empire, as long as Zhao Yarou's men didn't see him, everyone would pretend they hadn't seen him. They would absolutely not reveal any information about him to their captors, and might even mislead them. **Biquge** Ye Lang was unaware of this. He simply carried Li Yue carefully and left the imperial city. With his abilities, he had many ways to escape without alerting the city guards. "It's been so long, it seems he's gone! Let's go back and report to the Emperor."
After three hours, the searchers had given up, some remaining to make a show of it while the others retreated. "Three hours already! He's already gone! No need to look anymore!" Zhao Yarou, upon receiving this news, halted the pursuit. She understood Ye Lang's abilities better than anyone else and knew it was now impossible to find him. Continuing would be futile, so she simply withdrew. "I'm incompetent! Your Majesty, please punish me!" The men involved in the operation knelt before Zhao Yarou, anxiously awaiting her punishment. This was something they had long been prepared for. Working under Zhao Yarou meant being prepared for rewards and punishments. This applied to mistakes and inadequate performance, but there were also rewards for completing tasks and performing well. Clearly distinguishing rewards and punishments was Zhao Yarou's custom, and she was meticulous in both her rewards and punishments, especially her punishments! This time, so many of them couldn't catch Ye Lang, not even having a chance to fight. This made them believe they would be severely punished. But what they didn't expect was, "All of you retreat. This matter is your responsibility. I knew this would happen, but I hope you don't fail again on your next mission!" Zhao Yarou said with a gentle wave of her hand and a faint smile. "?!" Everyone was puzzled, unsure of what Zhao Yarou meant. But no matter what, they had to obey her and retreat first. Staying would definitely not benefit them.
When everyone had left and Zhao Yarou was the only one left in the imperial study, she slowly stood up. Ye Lang, who had been eating there, was stunned. "I never thought you had such ability. You could easily take Li Yue away from all the people I had placed..." Zhao Yarou was a little surprised at how easily Ye Lang had broken her ambush. She hadn't thought her ambush would be difficult for Ye Lang, but she hadn't expected it to be so simple.
The reason it was so simple was because he wanted to harm the Li family. Those he had placed there were innocently implicated, making it so easy for him to escape. What kind of thing was that? He was the son of the goddess of luck. If she didn't look after him, who would? He really hoped he could maintain this luck... "What exactly do you want with Li Yue? Why did you want the mecha? Are you going back to Yecheng now? You should go back. A lot has happened in Yecheng since you left..." Zhao Yarou, unsure of Yelang's intentions, assumed he was going back. She kept a close eye on Yecheng, not only wanting to know about the family's current situation but also the whereabouts of Yelang and the Seventh Princess. According to the information she had obtained, Yecheng was undergoing a profound transformation, its status on the mainland rising dramatically. This had nothing to do with Yelang, but recent events in Yecheng were somewhat related to him, and if he returned, he would surely be surprised. This was exactly what Zhao Yarou wanted to say. She didn't want Ye Lang to return to Yecheng, because this situation wasn't what she wanted to see unfold. "Ye Lang, you bastard! Don't let me catch you next time, or you'll never escape my grasp again!" Zhao Yarou finally extended a hand and clenched a fist, making a silent vow. At this point, Zhao Yarou seemed relieved, as she didn't know what to do with Ye Lang now that she had captured him. Ye Lang was too much of a problem right now, a hot potato. Perhaps, running away on his own would be the best outcome. Of course, if she could capture them, Zhao Yarou still hoped... "Hey, hey, do you know..." "Thirteenth Young Master and Emperor Xiaoonv, right? I know about that. There's something wrong between them." "No, that's old news. The latest news is that Thirteenth Young Master just kidnapped Miss Li Yue. They said it was a direct kidnapping..." "What?!"... "That idiot, why did he just kidnap someone!" Cold-Blooded Seven was stunned after receiving the news. "But this isn't a bad idea. It's straightforward. Why didn't he do it before?" "He wanted to do it before, but you guys objected. He said he wanted to pursue Li Yue," Cold-Blooded Five said. "..."... "Not bad. Kidnapping may be a bit shady, but it's really straightforward. This way, we can get the mecha. As long as the mecha is on Li Yue, there's always a way to get it..." Athena was also stunned after receiving the news, secretly scolding herself for not thinking of this before. That would have saved her from so much trouble and put Ye Lang in such a difficult situation. Actually, with Athena's wisdom, it would have been easy for her to think of this, but her heart wasn't so evil that she didn't think about it. ...
