"Why did you bring me back?" the man looked at Ye Lang and said arrogantly. "Stop pretending. You're alone now. You can speak now." Ye Lang tapped the table with his fingers and said slowly. "What are you talking about? I don't understand!" The Pi-man looked confused.
"From your eyes, I see a desire to survive, but more of it is greed. I really don't understand why your country would choose someone like you to do such a thing! Well, as long as you tell me what you know, I will let you go and give you a new identity, as well as endless wealth and glory!" Ye Lang said slowly, and every time he said a word, the man's face would change.
"I'm not..." The man originally wanted to argue, but when he saw Ye Lang's eyes, he finally lowered his head and said, "Okay, I admit that I am such a person, but I didn't expect that you could actually see what I meant. It seems that you are not as simple as you said in the teleportation!" "Of course I'm not simple, I just live a low-key life." Ye Lang did not feel embarrassed at all and accepted the compliment completely.
Why didn’t I realize before that this kid was so shameless? But come to think of it, I haven’t realized before that this kid has such unusual wisdom. Could it be that he is just pretending?
Regardless, it wasn't a mistake to ask him to do this. He actually managed to exceed his own task! "What do you want to know?" the man asked. "It's simple. Tell me, what is your purpose in bringing spies from so many countries together here?" Ye Lang asked.
"I'm not entirely sure about that, but I heard from the higher-ups that we're all spectators here, here to see the same sights, and if possible, take advantage of the opportunity to profit!" The man recounted everything he knew, but the problem was, his words still didn't fully explain the situation. "What sights?" Ye Lang asked. "I don't know, I just know it's something internal to your empire, and it was your people who invited us over to see the sights," the man replied. "What?!" Everyone in the darkroom was shocked. They had never imagined that this unusual movement could be caused by their own internal forces. He was also now puzzled: who was it, and why? "Alright, take him away!" Ye Lang realized he couldn't get any more answers, so he ordered him to be taken away. "Didn't you say you'd give me freedom and a life of wealth and glory?" the man struggled. "I did, but not now. Besides, these things are none of my business! I've had enough fun today, I'm leaving!" Ye Lang stood up and stretched. "You are so shameless!" "Who said I have no teeth? I have a mouth full of good teeth!" Ye Lang opened his mouth to show his perfect white teeth.
After completing his mission, Ye Lang returned to his study, explained his situation, and prepared to leave. Of course, the Emperor and the others hadn't figured things out yet, so they wouldn't let him go so easily. "Ye Lang, how did you know that person would say something?" This was the Emperor's first question.
"That's simple. I just killed a man, and he was so proactive even with eleven other companions. That means he's either loyal or wants to negotiate individually. So I just gave it a try, and it worked out," Ye Lang said nonchalantly. "So you were just testing it out. I thought you knew. But that man is also strange. If you really kill him, wouldn't he be in trouble?" The Seventh Princess asked. "Who knows what he's thinking? He's probably going to die!" Ye Lang wasn't sure either. Only the man himself could know. After the scene, it didn't seem important. Whatever his motives were, it didn't matter. "Then let me ask you again, why did you release those who shouldn't be released and keep these people?" The emperor's second question. "What do you mean by shouldn't be released? Didn't you say casually? I see those people are so noble, so let them go. There aren't many like them anymore!" This was Ye Lang's response. "..." The emperor and the others were silent, thinking to themselves, I should have thought of this earlier. This kid doesn't care about who should be released and who shouldn't be released. He only cares about whether he likes it or not. This question is actually useless!
But things became very interesting later. Although those who were released had high moral integrity and were loyal to the country, they were all executed one by one, and the countries began to suspect each other.
The reason is simple. Although they are telling the truth, the situation is so absurd that everyone thinks they are lying. They even think that they have betrayed their country and are spreading false information for the Soaring Sky Empire.
If they stayed here, perhaps after a period of imprisonment, their countries would offer to exchange them for them, as they were all rare talents. However, Ye Lang's careless release of them had earned them no trust, and all he gained was jealousy! As for those who were imprisoned, they were actually valued by their countries, who considered them to be good spies and role models!
Loyal individuals are executed, while disloyal ones might rise to power, indirectly causing their countries' strength to decline. In a sense, this impacts the power of other nations. This situation has led many to wonder: Could this have been Niu Lang's original intention? "So, that head from earlier, was it your alchemical artifact?" "Yes, it can replicate an identical object in an instant. Not just the head, but everything else as well," Ye Lang nodded.
As expected, this kid has all kinds of weird tools, even the handwritten note... Oh, the handwritten note... "Yan, let me ask you a question, how come you have the handwritten note, and it's blank?" This question is very serious and must be clarified.
"I bought it..." Ye Lang gave a very surprising, yet very likely answer, simply because he often bought some strange things.
"...Where did you buy it?" The emperor and others were speechless.
"I bought it on Baker Street, where there are a lot of fun tools. I accidentally saw this blank handwritten letter and took it with the intention of deceiving people. This time it really came in handy." Ye Lang replied, his tone very relaxed and calm, as if he didn't know how serious his situation was. "Is your handwritten letter real?" the emperor asked seriously. "Fake!" Ye Lang replied directly, very straightforward and clear. "..., fake?" The emperor and others looked at the handwritten letter and felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't tell what was wrong at the moment. "Can't you see? The seal of the jade seal on this handwritten letter is intact!" Ye Lang said.
"Oh right, this is it! The imperial seal. The lower left corner is missing a little corner, and there's a little gap, but this one is intact." Everyone was awakened as if from a dream, having actually forgotten this detail. Although they saw the imperial seal every day, seeing it every day sometimes makes people overlook some small details. And since no one dared to counterfeit the imperial seal, they would pay even less attention to this! "Who did this? How dare they carve the imperial seal!!" The emperor said in a deep voice. He would definitely investigate this matter. "I don't know. This is the one I had back then. Besides, even if I told you about this, there's no way to investigate it." Ye Lang waved his hand. "Why?" the emperor asked.
"Although this handwritten note looks new, it was actually made two hundred years ago. The paper used on it is Huixue paper, which disappeared two hundred years ago." Ye Lang said. Just as he was about to continue, someone interrupted and said, "Perhaps this is Huixue paper left behind by later generations."
"Well, that's possible, but there's a small piece of evidence on this. The person who made this handwritten note left a signature on it, along with his name and the date. I know you can't see it, but within these patterns, he's used lines to cover up his handwriting. Don't accuse him of impersonating someone else. No one else could have made such a seal... 'The world's most skilled hand, Hongye, on a certain day in a certain year...'
"Hongye's handwritten note is truly the most skillful craftsman in the world, so convincingly real! This is a treasure worth collecting. Ye Lang, scribbling on it like this is a complete waste!" Someone complained. "Tsk, my handwriting is worth more than his. This note will be worth even more because of my handwriting!" Ye Lang shook his head, then ignored everyone and left!
Ye Lang left, and the two girls left too, but the emperor and his men couldn't leave. They still had to figure out who was behind the invitation and why...
Although they are not sure about these things, they are certain that something will happen, so they have to strengthen their defenses, but this defense cannot be known to others for fear of alerting the enemy.
However, now they had to figure out who to find to carry out these defenses. They needed someone they could absolutely trust, as this was likely an inside job. Ye Lang?!
Everyone thought of Ye Lang first, but they immediately rejected him. He was totally unsuitable and there was no way he could complete such a task.
Then, everyone naturally thought of their children. No matter what time, children are always the most trustworthy people. Even the emperor would think of his own children first. Of course, the emperor also eliminated those children who were least likely to betray him and who could complete the task well... Ye Lang was eliminated, Ye Lanyu was also eliminated, and the Seventh Princess was also eliminated!
It's not that these three people are untrustworthy, but because these three people are unsuitable people. Compared with this dark struggle, their hearts are too pure. Perhaps those who are with Ye Lang will slowly be purified by their hearts.
No matter what others say, it won't affect the relationship between these three people. From childhood to adulthood, the three of them have always been together and have never been separated. Although quarrels are very frequent, the bond between the three of them is getting deeper and deeper...
