Chapter 101: The Seventh Princess (1)

  "No way, then don't say I'm breaking the rules of the game. If you have the ability, remove me as a referee, otherwise, today's winner will definitely be Zhen Xiaoyan, not you!" Ye Lang's words were shameless, but also very persistent and straightforward... "You...you..." Now everyone was speechless. "What are you talking about? Now I declare, Zhen Xiaoyan wins! You're out!!" Ye Lang said with a smile. "Ye Lang, if you want to help, be a bit more subtle, don't be so obvious!" The instructor who rushed over upon hearing the news said with a headache.

  "I didn't help, you see, Fat Lady has already finished, while he's still chattering away with me and even forgot what he was supposed to do." Ye Lang pointed at Zhen Xiao Yan, and only then did everyone notice that during the conversation between Ye Lang and the other contestant, Zhen Xiao Yan had quietly completed hers.

  As long as everyone acknowledges that Ye Lang's actions did not affect the outcome, then the result is Zhen Xiaoyan's victory! But will everyone acknowledge it?

  It turned out that most of them did, not because they were afraid of Ye Lang or giving him face, but because what Ye Lang said next benefited everyone greatly.

  "Although I admit that I'm a bit selfish, there's one thing I want to say: as an alchemist, no matter what the situation is, you should never be influenced by people or your environment. Even if you've done something that makes others angry, like me, you should ignore it and complete your alchemy without being affected! If you can't even do this, then you'll never reach the pinnacle of alchemy, and there's no need for you to participate in the tournament!"

  If it weren't for Ye Lang, even if someone else had done something extremely overboard, he would still complete his alchemy as usual, and without any difference whatsoever. After all, alchemy isn't like other things where a slight deviation can lead to drastic changes.

  If you fight with alchemy, remember this even more, otherwise, there is only one dead end!

  Although the people present still feel that Ye Lang's excuse is a bit far-fetched, they can't help but admit that this is indeed the case, and just now Zhen Xiaoyan's opponent was indeed affected.

  Zhen Xiaoyan did a great job in this regard. Although Ye Lang's behavior made her face burn with embarrassment, she still remained unaffected and completed her alchemy first. So, in this regard, Zhen Xiaoyan won!

  "Alright, I've finished my task this time, and now I can take a break for 10 or 8 days!" Ye Lang said with a smile, finding another excuse to give himself a holiday. "Do as you please, anyway, I couldn't manage you!" The beautiful instructor replied in an ill-tempered tone.

  "Thank you, teacher! I'm a bit hungry, let's go eat!" Ye Lang directly pulled Zhen Xiao Yan away, while the latter made an apologetic bow to everyone before following Ye Lang.

  And halfway through walking, Ye Lang stopped and seemed to have thought of something, turning around one by one.

  "If anyone wants to challenge Zhen Xiaoyan, then I'll come back as the judge. You can all come, it's fine."

  Look at you, acting as a judge, who would still dare to challenge her!

  Come on, don't worry? This is a **naked threat!!

  Afterwards one by one

  "Yerong, you're really biased!" The Seventh Princess said with a raised eyebrow.

  "What's wrong with being biased? I was just playing around anyway, and since I can help Fei Zhu, of course I will. Am I supposed to go help someone else?" Ye Lang replied casually.

  "It's not what I said!" Seventh Princess continued to pout.

  "What are you talking about?" Ye Lang asked.

  "What I'm saying is that you're so good to Zhen Xiaoyan, and even protect her, but you ignore me!" The Seventh Princess's vinegar was a bit too strong.

  "You don't need me, she's dumber than you, and you're so clever, where would you need my help?" Ye Lang replied.

  "I don't care, you're just being biased!" The Seventh Princess pinched Ye Lang's hand, her expression seemingly very wronged and pitiful.

  "Even if I'm biased, I'm better to you than to her, what's there for you to be jealous about?" Ye Lang looked at Seventh Princess with some confusion.

  "Really?" The Seventh Princess's eyes lit up.

  "Of course it's true, you and I grew up together since childhood, we are childhood sweethearts. You're very important!" Ye Lang said, although this would make Zhen Xiaoyan a bit uncomfortable, but it was an undisputed fact. "This is more like it!" The Seventh Princess smiled contentedly, leaning on Ye Lang's shoulder. "Little Seven..." Ye Lang looked ahead, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by the Seventh Princess.

  "Yè Làng, call me by my name, it's as if you've never called me that before." The Seventh Princess suddenly said with a surge of emotions. From childhood to adulthood, Yè Làng had always addressed her in three ways: from "Lǎo Jī" to "Seventh Princess" and now "Little Seven", but he had never called her by her name.

  "This... 'Little Seven' is still better, it's more intimate!" Yè Làng thought for a moment. At this time, he didn't know whether he was feeling embarrassed or what, but he still didn't call her by her name.

  "Then call me wife, that's even more intimate!" The Seventh Princess said lightly.

  "Oh, wife..." Yè Làng replied blankly.

  "Well-behaved!" The Seventh Princess hadn't expected Yè Làng to actually call her that. It had been many years since she'd heard this term of endearment, which made her blush but also filled her with nostalgia.

  In fact, Ye Lang listened to her like this also because he had just discovered a very serious problem, which was the fundamental reason why he didn't call Seventh Princess! He found out that he actually didn't know what Seventh Princess's name was!!

  It's no wonder, he had never called her by name, nor did others, either calling her Seventh Princess or Your Highness, no one dared to address her directly, after all, she was a noble princess!

  He doesn't care about names at all, as long as there's a title, it's fine, just like some people only know nicknames and not real names, it's no big deal.

  But if Seventh Princess were to find out about this situation, she would probably be furious!

  For this, Ye Lang decided to figure out what the Seventh Princess's name was, so as not to be discovered by her that "he himself had just said they were childhood friends, yet he didn't even know her name, this most basic thing!" But, this situation was a bit strange - "What's Little Seven's name? Hmm, I think it's Zhao something..." Ye Lang was stunned, then tried his best to recall. Zhao something, who doesn't know that she's surnamed Zhao! Failure! "What's the Seventh Princess's name? How would I know, don't you know, Ye Lang?" Zhen Xiaoyan asked Ye Lang, looking at him. "Cough cough, how would I not know, I was just asking you!" Another failure! "Oh, you're talking about the Seventh Princess? What's her name again?" a random passerby. "Depend on it, I knew that and still asked you!" Yet another failure!

  After investigation, Ye Lang found that regarding the name of Seventh Princess, almost no one in the entire imperial city knew about it, which was too mysterious. As for other princesses, although not many people knew about them, there were still some who did.

  Now all that can be said is that Seventh Princess is too low-key, except when she's with Ye Lang and slightly shows her face, at other times, basically no one can detect her existence!

  Even Ye Lang's parents, regarding their future daughter-in-law, were also vague about her name and couldn't quite remember it. They knew the two characters "Zhao Ya" but that was about it, because all the princesses nowadays had names in this format - Zhao Ya something!

  Finally, Ye Lang decided to find an opportunity to ask Seventh Princess herself, because asking others would be futile, and if Seventh Princess found out that he went to ask others about her name, she would probably get angry again. It's better to ask her directly, so she would only be angry about this one thing. Waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity... the opportunity wouldn't come immediately! In the darkness...

  "How is the plan going?" A cold and eerie voice was saying softly, and this voice made his subordinates feel a bit chilly.

  "Everything is going according to the master's plan, they don't know that it's all part of our plan! I believe it won't be long before this place belongs to us today." The subordinate replied respectfully. "Good! Hmph! Ye Lang, you just wait and see, I'll make you regret what you did in the beginning!" That cold voice became even colder, like a gust of wind blowing out from an ice cellar. What plan? Why is it related to Ye Lang? Who are these people anyway? No idea, only knowing that there's a conspiracy unfolding right now, and Ye Lang seems to be involved!

  The plan is underway, and the trial is also in progress, and it's getting more intense. The teams participating in the competition have been basically confirmed!

  After several days of final screening, the team that Royal Academy sent to this ranking match was determined. Next is to let them receive training and tempering, while improving their own strength, they also need to cultivate teamwork coordination ability.

  According to the usual practice, this training session would be held directly outdoors and would take different routes to the competition venue. In other words, after the start of this training session, these students wouldn't have time to return until after the competition was over. Isn't that... "Fatty, I'll miss you..." Ye Lang thought deeply about Zhan Xiao Yan leaving for a long time after learning about it and gazed at her with deep emotions. "Hmph! You're thinking of my food!" Zhan Xiao Yan wasn't moved at all because she knew Ye Lang too well. "Brilliant! From now on, you'll prepare food for me every day, enough for a year." Ye Lang praised. "Hmph! I won't prepare any for you, let you starve to death instead!" Zhan Xiao Yan said somewhat angrily, how could he not show even the slightest bit of reluctance when she was leaving for over a year?

  Is it because I'm not as good as a little food, all you know is eating, eat yourself to death! Eat yourself to death!!
