Chapter 699 The Popular Wanhua Building (3)
Yes, your Highness!
Im not really used to that, just call me Young Master or Sir. Ye Lang frowned. It was like a joke to him that hed become a prince in this place.
Yes, Young Master Cousin. The guard did not insist either. They worked for Princess Longji, sometimes they called her Miss too. Her younger cousin was naturally Young Master Cousin.
He was a second-generation prince, hence formalities werent strict. Since hed told them to change, they did.
Im going to the palace for a while, you guys go ahead. Ye Lang left after answering his question.
Very soon, Ye Lang stopped because he realised there were riders following him.
What are you all doing? You need to stay behind, you need to protect Kaline! said Ye Lang, turning around.
Young Master, the princess wants us to protect you. There are other people there to protect Princess Kaline, said the rider respectfully.
Ye Lang frowned. I dont need protection, its too troublesome with you all following me! He obviously didnt like the feeling of being followed.
We wont, we wont disturb you, said the rider solemnly.
Alright then! You can follow me but its none of my business if you lose me! Ye Lang grinned and then quickly entered the entrance hall.
The riders quickly followed him. There were too many people at the entrance, it could be dangerous. Initially, they thought hed use the side gate but they did not know him well. Ye Lang always used the main entrance.
This time, he wanted to use the main entrance even more badly to shake off these people. A crowd would have that effect.
When Ye Lang appeared at the foyer, many people soon noticed him and started squealing. There were many people trying to get closer.
Boss?! Why is he here? Whats that pot of flowers for? The girls performing on stage were confused. Hed never appeared here at this hour.
Sir Ye, can we talk about
No, we cant!
Sir Ye, Im from the Liu family, we want to
Just talk to my cousin, shell discuss with you.
Sir Ye
Ye Lang was surrounded by people trying to talk to him but he rejected them all. They also thought it was weird that he could still move so easily when he was surrounded by people.
It was explicable if there were few of them but this place was packed! How could he squeeze past the crowd so effortlessly?
The boss is so cool! I love you, Boss!
On the stage, a beauty playing an instrument yelled at him, though she was drowned out by many more declarations of love. When the aristocratic ladies saw him, they went mad.
Sir Ye Lang, would you be interested in dating me! said a romantic aristocratic lady
Not interested!
Ye Lang, lets fall in love! said a bold aristocratic lady
No!
Ye Lang, Ye Lang, I love you! Lets get married! said an aggressive aristocratic lady
Apologies, I have a fiancee!
Young Master
The group of riders wanted to squeeze through the crowd but could not get past them, unlike Ye Lang.
Very soon, they realised that he was about to disappear. They werent worried because there were reinforcements outside. They just had to watch for Ye Lang.
However, what happened next caused panic because as he walked and spoke to everyone, he suddenly disappeared under everyones noses.
Wheres he? Sir Ye?
Wheres Ye Lang, my beloved Ye Lang?
Boss
Ye Lang had disappeared under so many pairs of eyes. Everyone started searching but did not see him. They were surprised and confused.
They did not know what he did. They gave up after failing to find him.
This is bad! What will we do if the princess knows we lost Young Master? said the rider frantically. He could imagine her reaction.
These people were part of her mercenary group, of course they knew how much she loved Ye Lang. Itd be fine if nothing happened to him but shed go crazy if something did!
Dont worry, didnt he say hell be going to the palace? We just have to catch up, reminded another. If they knew the destination, the task was simple.
Right, why didnt I think of that? What are we waiting for then, lets go!
Ive sent people after him already, Im just being a good friend here, lending an ear to your woes!
Screw you!
Vermilion Bird Palace. After several turns, Ye Lang finally arrived at this magnificent structure. He almost regretted shaking those men off, for he had to ask for directions before arriving.
Thank goodness the palace compound was huge or itd be very troublesome.
This was also why the riders had a huge problem. They took the shortest route to the palace, waiting at the nearest palace gates. Yet they still couldnt find him.
How would they know that hed taken the wrong path? Hed made so many turns before arriving. He was now on the opposite side of the palace so although he found the palace gates, he was very far from them.
Excuse me, is this the royal palace? Ye Lang found an entrance. It wasnt grand, looks like it wasnt an important one. However, it was still much grander than an ordinary door. It was the palace after all.
Yes, it is. Now that you know the answer, please stay away, said the palace guard. It was his job to say this, it wasnt because he discriminated commoners.
