All Clear (2)
“...” Edward stayed quiet. He understood and was very embarrassed at what Ye Lang did. He hoped no one saw them.
If soone found out, he definitely wouldn’t admit to knowing Ye Lang. It was too embarrassing! He’d be looked down on, maybe even hated on!!
“You... You’re shaless!!”
No one had ever seen soone who’d do sothing like this just to face fewer opponents!
People in the mainland tend to be more transparent and fair while participating in competitions like this one. Everyone wanted to win fair and square.
Even the most selfish ones, the one who planned to cheat, would only play so tricks on the field. They’d never even think of doing so nonsense right at the registration point so the rest wouldn’t even be able to register.
“Shaless?! What’s there to be shaless about? This is the cleanest, most direct thod! If you’d told earlier, I can guarantee no one would be able to register, and you’ll be the only one!” said Ye Lang. He liked using the simplest thod to solve a problem. He’d never consider aningless factors like his reputation.
“...” Edward didn’t know what to say. He believed Ye Lang. And when that really happened, people would be cursing them.
However, if he were with Kesha, did it matter if they were cursing him?
When he thought of this, Edward seed to understand Ye Lang’s point of view, even agreeing with him. It didn’t bother him anymore, and they entered together. He didn’t want to stay here with Ye Lang any longer, people might realise they were here together. He’d probably be hated on too. Let Ye Lang deal with that alone!
Brother, thank you for the trouble!!
After this incident, Edward drew clear boundaries between them both, pretending to not know Ye Lang!
Ah... One would knife a brother for a woman...
Ye Lang only had this to comnt. Although it was a little exaggerated, it was fitting!
He didn’t have ti to think about Edward, he only wanted to deal with all the people who wanted to enter, so they’d leave earlier and wouldn’t have a chance to participate!!
With Ye Lang there to help Edward, everyone else was definitely going to fail anyway. Might as well let them leave earlier!
Of course, that was what Ye Lang thought!!
“Gentlen, apologies, there was a small accident. Our event has been postponed, please co back tomorrow!”
At this point, a teenage girl stepped forward to apologize to everyone. This girl was dressed very elegantly. She must be from an aristocratic family and was as pretty as Lady Kesha herself.
Could she be Lady Kesha’s friend? Mm, she must be!
And because of that, everyone started to leave. One, ten, a hundred people left...
As more and more people turned back, naturally no one would suspect. They all thought the matchmaking event was postponed, so the crowds dispersed and at the sa ti started to spread the news.
In a short ti, the entire city knew of this. They knew an accident happened at Lady Kesha’s matchmaking event, so it would be postponed to the next day!
However, no one knew that within the duke’s compound, the matchmaking event was still going on. No one inside knew of the postponent announcent!
Why?
The reason was simple. The girl was Little Xin!
Since Little Xin made the announcent, that ant Ye Lang made the announcent. Ye Lang was spreading fake news himself. He wanted these people to go ho, leaving behind only those who were already inside. This would save him a lot of trouble.
“Hey, where’s everyone? What happened?” Soone ca out from inside to see the crowded area suddenly beco empty. There were only a few people collapsed on the floor (not sure if they were alive or dead), Little Xin and Ye Lang. Hence the person decided to ask Ye Lang.
“I don’t know, They said they’re not coming back today, they all went ho. Probably because of the people on the floor,” said Ye Lang pointed at the unconscious people.
“Oh, whatever. The ones who should co are already here!” shrugged the guy. Although they said every citizen had a chance, they still had their ‘preferred candidates’.
In reality, the ‘everyone-has-a-chance’ declaration was because of Lady Kesha. It wasn’t sothing the duke wanted, but he didn’t want to refuse his darling daughter hence he agreed to it.
At the sa ti, the duke also personally invited his chosen potential sons-in-law over, so these people obviously didn’t need to line up outside. They’d been inside since the beginning.
To be honest, to the duke and the rest of the people inside (including Ye Lang, Edward and Kesha herself), it didn’t matter if they entered or not. Kesha only wanted Edward to show up.
If Edward didn’t show, she’d find an excuse to say they weren’t suitable. Matchmaking didn’t an she had to marry them imdiately anyway!!
“Then why are you here, aren’t you coming in?” The person thought Ye Lang was a little strange. It wouldn’t be as strange if Ye Lang was just a curious passerby, but...
Ye Lang was holding a registration form, aning he was a participant. Then why was he still outside, and why did he bring a girl with him?
“I’ll co in later. And it’s not my turn anyway. I think everyone’s very tired anyway, you don’t have to call in!” waved Ye Lang.
He was here to stop other people from turning back. Of crouse, it was also because he wanted to avoid the queue inside. Let the people inside deal with everything first, then he’d enter.
In his words: he was the last one anyway, he could take his ti!!
“It’s your turn soon, there aren’t many people left. I ca because I noticed no one was coming in!” said the person, slightly cocking his eyebrow.
This gentleman was a little odd. He didn’t seem to be here for the Lady. Did he have other intentions?
‘Oh, then I’m coming in!” answered Ye Lang, walking slowly. His footsteps weren’t fast, but not slow either. They were very natural, a little too natural that you’d think he wasn’t nervous for this at all.
Of course, many people inside were very calm too. They were all aristocrats, and they were definitely not just ordinary rich people!
“Ye Lang, what are you doing outside? What took you so long?” Edward had already passed many tests by this ti. When he finally had ti, he noticed Ye Lang hadn’t appeared yet.
Sigh, the things we do for won...
