"...you little rascal, if you call me old again, I'll beat you up!" Ye Lan Yu threatened while raising her fist at Ye Lang.
Ye Lang immediately fell silent, as he knew that this wasn't just a threat. Ye Lan Yu had demonstrated countless times that she would really hit him!
"Let's go, say goodbye quickly, or you won't have another chance," Ye Cheng Tian reminded Long An Qi, Ye Lan Yu, and the others, as he looked at the time.
Of course, Long An Qi had to bid farewell to Ye Lan Yu. Her daughter was leaving for so long, naturally leaving her reluctant. She had been holding Ye Lan Yu's hand the whole time.
"Xiaoyu, don't forget about your brother, take care of yourself!" Long An Qi looked at Ye Lan Yu affectionately and said with reluctance.
"I know, I will!" Ye Lan Yu nodded and then turned to look at Ye Lang, saying similar words to those of Long An Qi.
At this time, Princess Qi was also instructing Ye Lang, telling him to pay attention to this and that...
Zhen Xiaoyan was much simpler. She only instructed one thing— remember to eat well!
After bidding farewell, the group finally set off grandiosely...
"You said you were going to sing another song. What song is it?"
"My arrogant smile, my arrogant smile..."
"You go to hell!"
...Several days after Ye Lan Yu and the others left, Ye Lang opened an auction house. He hadn't even enjoyed the pleasure of an auction before having to prepare to leave.
According to the plan, he was going to the northern orc tribe, and the time was almost ripe.
Because they were currently in the south, going to the northern orc tribe meant crossing the Sky Soaring Empire, which was obviously not feasible. They had to take a detour, which would be more convenient passing through the Ella Empire.
It seemed that there were no grievances between the Ye Family and the Ella Empire, so no one would make things difficult for Ye Lang!
This time, Ye Lang originally wanted to go alone, but everyone was worried and insisted on having Anna's mercenary group escort him. For this reason, Anna personally came to escort Ye Lang, the young master, to the Tiger Tribe.
On this day, everything was almost arranged, just waiting to depart.
Waiting, but not able to arrive at the most crucial condition, which is Ye Lang!
At that time, the agreed-upon time had already passed, and Anna, stationed at the camp, waited for a while and didn't see Ye Lang's appearance. She thought that it was normal for the young master not to be punctual, so she continued to wait a while, giving Ye Lang more time!
This was still giving face to Ye Lang. If it were someone else, she wouldn't have waited. This was natural. If it weren't to give face to Ye Lang, why would she personally come out?
However, even if giving face, there was a limit. As a mercenary, she didn't like it when others were not punctual.
So, after a while, she went to the Lord's Mansion to receive him, intending to bring the young master out herself. She originally wanted to do this, but Ye Lang said the two places were just a few steps away, so he could come by himself.
Indeed, it was just a few steps. Anna's location was right next to the Lord's Mansion, just a two-minute walk from the gate. This was not for the sake of convenience, but because Ye City was so small that they couldn't live anywhere else.
Anna entered the Lord's Mansion without guards and searched for Ye Lang, but she couldn't find his presence anywhere.
So, she went to the hall, where Ye Chengtian and others were discussing matters and seemed to have ignored Anna's presence.
"Does anyone know where the thirteenth young master is?" Anna came in and didn't attract anyone's attention. Everyone continued the discussion, seemingly oblivious to Anna's question.
Therefore, Anna was ignored in this way!
So, Anna started asking again, with a raised voice, "Please, where is the thirteenth young master?!"
"..."
Continue discussing...
Ye Chengtian and others were in a heated debate, ignoring Anna's "small voice" because of this important issue, and they seemed not to notice her.
After several such fruitless attempts...
"Ah..." Anna got angry and screamed without any decorum, quieting the entire hall and finally making them notice her existence.
"Cough cough!" Seeing everyone looking at her, Anna's face blushed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed, and then immediately asked, "Where is the thirteenth young master?"
"Isn't he with you?" Everyone was puzzled and asked.
"If he were with me, then I wouldn't have come to find him!" Anna replied impatiently.
"Is he still in his room? Go check!" Seven Brother suggested, seemingly blaming Anna for coming to find Ye Lang here, where they were discussing important matters.
"I've checked the whole place; he's not there!" Anna said.
"Did he forget that he was supposed to leave today and went out to play?" another person suggested uncertainly.
"He shouldn't have. This morning, he said he was leaving and asked us to take care of ourselves," Ye Chengtian said, "Ask Auntie Anqi; she was with him before they left."
"Auntie Anqi, I can't find her either, or else I wouldn't be here asking you all," Anna shook her head.
"This is strange. Where did the mother and son go? Could it be that Anqi doesn't want to let go of her son and has taken him captive?" Ye Chengtian speculated, and this possibility was quite significant.
Long Anqi had always opposed Ye Lang going out alone and was very worried. She had tried every method and even tied her son up. This was something she was capable of doing.
"The meeting ends here today. Now go and find them, mother and son!" Ye Chengtian ordered, and others shared the same sentiment.
Even if the matters they had just discussed were important, they couldn't be more important than Ye Lang. Let's not forget, he is the Lord.
Of course, this was a very small reason, negligible. The most important thing was still that everyone was concerned about Ye Lang, afraid that something might happen to him. Ye Lang's personality made people very uneasy, and who knew what he might do.
Soon, everyone found Long Anqi, who had just gone out to buy some food to ease her pain of parting, and when she returned and saw the situation, she was puzzled.
She was alone, she was alone!!
"Wife, where's our son?" Ye Chengtian asked anxiously.
"Son? Didn't he leave? Oh, Anna, why are you still here? Aren't you supposed to escort Ye Lang?" Long Anqi answered and suddenly noticed Anna's presence, feeling a bit unhappy.
She thought that Anna was here because she didn't want to accompany Ye Lang herself and wanted her subordinates to do it!
This thirteen-year-old young master, always keeping people worried, how can he just disappear like this!! This day, the small town of Yecheng was once again in chaos, previously it was chaotic for some reason, but today it was chaotic for a person's sake... The people of the Ye family, Anna's mercenaries, searched all day but couldn't find a trace of Yelang, not even a clue, as if he vanished from the world as soon as he left home. This doesn't seem like taking the wrong path, could it be that he's gone missing again, did he suddenly change his mind and want to go find Tiger Niu alone?
Everyone thinks this possibility is becoming increasingly likely. Otherwise, how could there be no trace at all? Normally, when he goes missing, at least some clues are left behind to know what he did and where he went. And after this incident, everyone has agreed on one thing, in the future, even if it's just a few steps, even just one or two steps, they must see Yelang off, otherwise he'll disappear in the blink of an eye again!!
Where did Yelang go after all? Has he changed his mind, wanting to ditch Anna and the others and go to the Tiger Clan on his own? No, he didn't have that thought. The entire incident was just a coincidence, an accident. At least, that's what he believed. Absolutely a coincidence, an accident!!
At that time, when Yelang left, he headed towards the place he knew, he didn't go the wrong way, Anna's mercenary group was indeed over there. It's just that - in the middle, there was an alley with a sign posted on it, "XX Mercenary Group". Because the preceding characters were blocked by something, it wasn't clear what kind of mercenary group it was.
Mercenary group, that should be Anna's station, why is it so close? Didn't they say it's a two-minute walk away? Yelang was puzzled but didn't bother to find out, so he just entered the alley and followed the sign to the location of the XX mercenary group!
