On the afternoon of the next day, Ye Lang was in the academy's arena, looking at his opponent with a calm and composed manner, as if he had dueled countless times before.
However, everyone knew that this was Ye Lang's first time in the arena, his first duel!!
From childhood to adulthood, Ye Lang always had someone backing him up. In addition, he was considered a waste, so no one would seek to duel him. If he won, it wouldn't be glorious. If he lost, it would be shameful, and regardless of the outcome, it would definitely create a group of enemies!!
Moreover, whenever someone wanted to duel him, he would refuse directly, never agreeing. He wouldn't feel embarrassed and would consider it a loss of face!
So, this occurrence made many people feel very strange. Why did Ye Lang agree?
This goes back to this noon. When Ye Lang and Zhen Xiaoyan were out for a walk, a group of people appeared, blocking the path and staring at Ye Lang with aggressive intentions!
At the time, Ye Lang looked at the group and said something bewildering— "The teaching building is on the right, the teachers' office is on the left, and the toilet is in the middle!"
"..."
Clearly, Ye Lang, in his dullness, thought that this group had come to ask for directions, not to trouble him. So after saying that, he continued walking with Zhen Xiaoyan!
"Stop!!" After standing there in a daze for a long time, the group caught up to Ye Lang and continued to block his way.
"Do you want to ask for directions? I don't know much about that, go ask over there by yourself..." Ye Lang continued to believe that they were asking for directions.
"Ye Lang..." Zhen Xiaoyan couldn't stand it anymore. "They're here to pick a fight with you!"
"Really? Are they looking for trouble with me? Do I know them?" Ye Lang looked at the people ahead with great confusion.
"You don't need to know them, it's enough that they know you," Zhen Xiaoyan said irritably.
"Why do they need a reason? I've never offended anyone." Ye Lang tried to recall if he had offended anyone, which was completely unheard of for him.
"You may not have offended anyone, but you're just too annoying!" before the people could say anything, Zhen Xiaoyan spoke out first.
"How could that be? I don't look annoying. Fatty, give me a mirror to see for myself." Ye Lang reached out for a mirror.
"..." Zhen Xiaoyan was speechless, and the group of people stood there dumbfounded, their minds temporarily short-circuited.
"Give it to me, why the delay!" Ye Lang took the mirror from Zhen Xiaoyan and looked at himself.
"Although I'm not very handsome, I'm not very despicable either," Ye Lang humbly remarked, he wouldn't say anything like, "I'm very handsome, charming and dashing" but only speak in a modest manner, saying he was just average, not very handsome.
"Don't waste time with him, just take him directly to duel!" Among the group, someone started to become impatient, thinking that continuing to talk to this slow and foolish fool would turn them into idiots.
"Just a moment, you want to duel with me? Why?" Ye Lang asked.
"Why? Ask yourself why you want to cling onto Princess Qi and not let go!!" The suppressed emotions of that group seemed to erupt at that moment.
"You mean Little Qi? I'm not clinging onto her, we just have an engagement." Ye Lang casually replied, completely unaware of how provocative his words were.
"Ye Lang, don't be arrogant. I want to duel with you. I want to take Princess Qi away!" The group shouted.
"Boring! Fatty, let's go," Ye Lang ignored them and continued walking with Zhen Xiaoyan.
However, this group did not give up, repeatedly blocking Ye Lang's path. As a result, Ye Lang became angry, yes, a little angry.
"Aren't you guys tired? Since you want to duel, let's go to the arena later, and any weapon is allowed!"
... "Ye Lang, are you ready?" In the arena, the representative with the highest strength amongst the group was holding a sword, shouting at Ye Lang.
"Not yet, my weapon hasn't arrived!" Ye Lang replied and sat down to wait.
"Your weapon hasn't arrived yet? What do you need? We can lend you," the group questioned, thinking that Ye Lang was delaying time.
However, regardless of their questioning, no one knew what weapon Ye Lang was using, because he had never used one!
"This is not something that can be borrowed. Just wait a little, it will arrive soon!" said Ye Lang with a smile.
Helplessly, the group of people could only wait. They were afraid that if they didn't wait, Ye Lang would directly refuse the duel. They had finally arranged for this duel and it absolutely couldn't be spoiled. What was waiting a little longer anyway?
After a while...
"Younger brother, who are you dueling with?" Ye LanYu and Seventh Princess rushed in, expressing their dissatisfaction.
"It's them. Hehe, my weapon has arrived. You can prepare at any time," Ye Lang stood up, clapped his hands, and said to the group of people.
"Is it them? Why are you challenging him to a duel?" Seventh Princess saw the group of people and seemed to have some understanding, but she still couldn't be sure.
"Don't ask so many questions, just take them all down. How dare they bully my brother?!" Ye LanYu said firmly, regardless of the reason.
"Miss LanYu, it is Ye Lang who is dueling with us. You can't act rashly, otherwise Ye Lang will never be able to hold his head up as a person." The group of people immediately reminded Ye LanYu, they were certainly afraid of her acting recklessly.
Usually, there won't be any interference before a duel, no matter what the reason is, it must be left to be discussed after it ends. Otherwise, it would become a reason to be despised for a lifetime.
If it was just her own reputation that was damaged, Ye LanYu naturally wouldn't care. But this would involve Ye Lang, so she could only endure it for the time being!
"Ye Lang, hurry and ask your sister for the weapon. Let's get started," the "rival" on the scene shouted.
"Weapon? Little brother, what weapon are you using? Is it with me?" Ye LanYu, after hearing this, became confused and somewhat expectant.
Like everyone else, she didn't know what weapon Ye Lang was using, and she didn't know what weapon Ye Lang had placed with her.
And Seventh Princess was also very curious, eagerly watching Ye Lang, wanting to know what weapon he would use!
"Alright, listen up! My weapon is—my sister Ye LanYu!! Sister, knock that person down!" Ye Lang smiled and said slowly.
"..." Silent.
For a while, the whole scene fell silent, unable to understand Ye Lang's words. What did he mean by calling Ye LanYu his weapon?
Ye LanYu was clearly just one person, could she be considered a weapon?
Even if she was considered a weapon, wouldn't that mean there were two people?
But even if it were just Ye LanYu alone... Wait a minute...
I think I understand...
