"Ice Arrow Rain!"
After saying this, Ye Lan Yu casually released an upgraded version of a high-level group attack magic, as the name suggests, an upgraded version of the Ice Arrow.
"Oh my, how could I forget about this little lady..."
Now that group of people regretted it, thinking they were too stupid. How could they forget about Ye Lan Yu, who, apart from being an infinitely charming young beauty, was also an absolute master of violence, proficient in ice magic, causing countless people to suffer losses.
Among the so-called experts in the academy, this little lady was at the top, someone ordinary people wouldn't dare to offend. In front of her, those young masters were like ants, she could play with them as she pleased.
"I told you to leave quickly. You have to get hurt to understand, people!" Ye Lang shook his head, sighed, and then went to the alchemy academy with his classmate.
Ye Lan Yu continued as usual, separating from Ye Lang at the edge of the alchemy academy, going to her own magic academy. As mentioned earlier, the alchemy academy was safe.
After several similar incidents, even the dumbest people understood that if they wanted to bully Ye Lang in Tiger Girl's absence, they had to go through Ye Lan Yu. Some people were also careful enough to find out who came after Ye Lan Yu, and they could confirm that there was at least another Seventh Princess, Ye Lang's "fiancée."
So, they all gave up. At least they wouldn't think of using violence. They could only use sly methods, but they seemed to have overlooked Ye Lang himself, as if without anyone else, Ye Lang was easy to handle.
In the following years, Ye Lang's "low-key" made many people forget about his existence, and those who were jealous of him also gradually grew up and matured, no longer having the idea of bullying Ye Lang.
Time passed quickly, and in the seemingly short but not short five years, Ye Lang had basically mastered the alchemy of this world. At the same time, he had created his unique alchemy, combining traditional Chinese medicine and alchemy from the martial arts treasure trove, among others.
However, in front of others, he was just a very ordinary alchemist, progressing alongside his classmates. He was neither particularly ahead nor behind.
It was because of this reason that he became more and more ordinary, less and less noticed by people. It seemed that he also enjoyed this kind of life, practicing martial arts every day, researching alchemy, and occasionally indulging in extravagance, making it as comfortable as possible.
Of course, it was impossible for him to go completely unnoticed. He would often do something that attracted everyone's attention, and the most frequent of these was his extravagance, a god-like extravagance.
Today, someone came to him because of his extravagant behavior, while at that time, he was playing the piano and singing a song...
"Darling, how are you now? Over there, what are you thinking? Why is there a faint sadness on your innocent face? Tonight, I want to tell you that I will look at the me from many years later..."
"Thirteen, are you thinking about Taiya again?" the person who came said to Ye Lang.
"No, where would I think of her? I'm just singing casually." Ye Lang shook his head in denial.
Five years have passed, and it was initially expected that Tiger Girl would return within two or three years, but it has been five years and there is still no news. The only thing that is certain is that Tiger Girl has safely returned home, to her people.
According to the Anna Mercenary Group's report, when Tiger Girl entered the Tiger Clan, she was quickly greeted by a group of warriors from the Tiger Clan and sent out of the territory.
Of course, Anna Mercenary Group had confirmed that Tiger Girl was safe before leaving, and it was also confirmed by Tiger Girl herself.
During these five years, Ye Lang had also sent messages to Tiger Girl through others, but the only reply he received was an oral message, saying that Tiger Girl asked him to wait for her for a few years as she had some things to handle, and finally reminded him to take care of himself.
...
"Don't pretend. Besides thinking of Taiya, you sing songs and play the piano casually. Otherwise, even if a knife is held to your neck, you can't be bothered to do anything," the visitor directly exposed Ye Lang's lie.
"Cough, cough, the weather is really nice today. What's the matter, Seven?" Ye Lang put away the piano; yes, "put away," with a spatial ring it was as easy as turning the palm of one's hand.
Seven, the visitor was Ye Lang's cousin, the seventh son of the Ye family, and was now a high-ranking official in the empire, managing some affairs, specific to what, Ye Lang did not know, but it seemed to be something related to a military factory or the like.
"Oh right, almost forgot about the important matter. Have you bought Alas Mountain?" Seven asked anxiously.
"Alas Mountain? I don't remember. What's the matter?" Ye Lang's reply made Seven speechless, but it was also as expected. He had known this brat would forget.
"I knew you wouldn't know! Quickly go and find out your property, see if Alas Mountain is in your name." Seven urged.
"Oh, I'll check..." Ye Lang took out a bunch of things from the ring, there were a variety of certificates, land deeds, shares in merchant guilds, and so on, all the results of his extravagance over these years. He had no idea whether it had been profitable or loss-making in between.
Seeing this scene, Seven could only sigh and marvel at how this Thirteenth was so mysterious. Clearly, he was a prodigal, but his wealth kept growing, and perhaps something important would pop up under his name at any time, just like today's matter.
Alas Mountain, originally a very poor mountain, in a remote geographical location, was a place that nobody cared about, so this mountain was not very valuable.
However, recently, the imperial survey department found that this Alas Mountain has extremely rich strategic mineral deposits, so they began to negotiate with the owner of the mountain. However, they found that the mountain had long been sold by the original owner, and at an unreasonably high price.
Of course, now the original owner is crying and regretting, realizing that the price he sold it for was a mere drop in the ocean compared to the value of the mineral deposits beneath.
The empire naturally doesn't care about the original owner's regrets, they just asked who he sold it to, and his answer was that he didn't know. It was several years ago, and the transaction was done through a middleman, who also can't be found.
So the empire began to have a headache, trying various methods to find the owner of the mountain, but the results were fruitless. They even offered a high reward for the appearance of the owner, but still, no one showed up.
Normally, after a mountain changes hands, the new owner would register with the empire, just in case they lose the certificate and need to reapply for it. But this new owner never appeared or registered, making it impossible to trace.
