n“No, since father also agreed, it means that he is also in a dilemma. As his son, I should do something to help him.” Ye Lang shook his head and told them another important reason.

n“You’re right, it’s easy to kill several people.” Ye Lanyu and Princess Qi had the same idea. In a world with the law of the jungle, killing and being killed happened almost every moment. Everyone became numb to it.

nAnd at this moment, it seemed that they found that Ye Lang was not as vulnerable as they had thought, because he dared to agree to do this and looked calm.

nMaybe he knew the rule behind it. Maybe he failed to make an immediate response.

n“In spite of this, don't join me. After all, this is not a good thing.”Ye Lang waved his hand and walked towards a direction.

n“No, I want to go with you!” Ye Lanyu and Princess Qi said. When they intended to chase him, they were pulled back by the people following them.

nAnd those who pulled them back were no one else but their fathers!

n“Dad. Hmph, you guys are not good people, asking him to kill...” Ye Lanyu and Princess Qi complained to their fathers.

n“He isn’t going to kill anyone, he just needs to pretends to do so, but actually, it will be done by us. After all, he is a member of the Ye family, so sooner or later, he will have such kinds of experiences. If you always protect him, he will be even more helpless. How can he survive in the future!” Ye Chengtian looked away, and said seriously.

n“...”

nYe Lanyu and Princess Qi finally understood why they asked Ye Lang to do this. It was because they thought Ye Lang was the most suitable. What's more, they wanted to temper Ye Lang because they cared about him!

nHowever, did Ye Lang even need the training to improve his ability to survive?

nMaybe…

n“So in the end, what did you ask him to do?” Princess Qi asked since they still didn't know what on earth the task was.

n“You know, the three empires look very peaceful now, as if there is no war or conflict, but in fact, we have had military conflicts. Some battles often break out on the borders, and the spies of different countries are always active!” The Emperor tried to explain and told them the situation briefly.

n“Yes!” Both Ye Lanyu and Princess Qi nodded.

n“The existence of the spies has always been an open secret among countries, and some even know that some of the spies are scouting, but allow it secretly.” The Emperor added.

n“The aim is to let them get the wrong message!” Princess Qi guessed.

n“Well, yes! Under the proper situation, something bad can bring benefits!” The Emperor nodded, feeling satisfied with Princess Qi’s words.

n“The situation is the same all the time, but recently, something wrong has happened. There are more and more spies and it seems that something is being carried out.” The Emperor said and frowned.

nPrincess Qi did not ask what it was, because she did not want to know about it. She never participated in these struggles from beginning to end!

n“We are still not clear about what their purpose is right now, because these spies only know what they need to do, but do not know the purpose! However, it is certain that they have an agreement!” The Emperor added: “Though we do not know what their purpose is or what makes them unite to fight against us, we can seize this chance to end their cooperation!”

n“Maybe... let the cat out of the bag!”

nThey planned to kill some of the spies, put some in prison, and let others go. Even those who sent the spies knew that it was a trick, but this would still lead to conflicts and mutual suspicion among them.

nThis was the purpose that the Emperor and the others had. Moreover, they did not tell Ye Lang who should be killed, imprisoned or set free. It was random!

n“Got it. And now, we do nothing but wait?” Princess Qi was a little worried and asked. She was afraid that Ye Lang would get into trouble.

n“Of course not, we will follow him to find out what Ye Lang would do in the end.” The Emperor shook his head and said. Although they thought Ye Lang was the prime candidate, it didn't mean they would be assured that he would make it.

nThat was because Ye Lang often did something unimaginable to bring unexpected changes! And some of these changes brought benefits, but most of them caused harm!

nThey came to a palace which looked very luxurious, but was actually very horrifying. This was the place where the prisoners were given a sentence secretly. There were all kinds of tools used for torture.

nWhen Ye Lang went into it, he found that the hall looked as clean and tidy as the other palaces.

nIn the hall, there was only a table with a chair and it looked like a judgment hall*!

nTL: * the government office in feudal China

nYe Lang directly rushed to the only chair, and sat down comfortably, then he heavily knocked on the desk with a square-

n“Snap!”

n“Bring the prisoners!”

n“...”

nHe really imagined that he was in a judgement hall, but in this world, no one knew what he meant by doing this. They were staring at him, and were thinking that he became silly again.

nBut even so, they still understood that Ye Lang asked them to bring the prisoners to...

nThat’s wrong!

n“Thirteenth young master, what? Why did you come here today?” The staff member on duty asked and soon found that Thirteenth young master was not their boss, so he wasn't in charge.

nThe staff naturally didn't know the arrangement that the Emperor made. If they did, all that planning would’ve been done in vain.

nAnd at this moment, people in a dark room were fixing their eyes on the hall, praying that Ye Lang wouldn't forget the things that had been said to him.

nPuzzled by what Ye Lang said before, they forgot to tell him how to start!

n“No, don't I look serious? I am busy, and I am not kidding you. Hurry up and bring the prisoners here! This is the Emperor’s handwritten order. I am in charge of this!” He opened the handwritten order.

n“Hey, when did I give that to him?” The Emperor felt a bit strange, because he just gave him a token. What happened next shocked everyone.

n“Thirteenth young master, nothing is written here… ” The staff member on duty said helplessly. He saw such a blank written order for the first time, but the seal there told him it was real.

nWhether a handwritten order was real or not depended on the seal!

nBut such a blank order document carrying the imperial seal, it should be impossible!

nIs it really true that the Emperor absolutely trusted that he would not betray him?

nIt seems that Thirteenth young master really won the Emperor’s heart. I should avoid offending him from now on.

nThat was not the case, no one knew how he got that! If the Emperor heard their conversation, he would’ve loudly said so...

n“Oh, nothing? Please wait a minute, I will write something on it!” Ye Lang was going to write on it, but could not remember what to write. “How to write this?”

nHe had never written such a handwritten order!

nForget it, write it like this -

nYe Lang’s words were the imperial edict! On behalf of the Emperor!

nFuck, he was such a rascal, he even dared to write such an order document! The Emperor was speechless, and he was curious about how Ye Lang got such a handwritten order.

nBut this made it better, since it proved that what he did, had nothing to do with us!

n“Well, bring the prisoners here and serve a pot of tea and some pastries.” Ye Lang put his legs on the table, leaned on the chair, and slightly tilted backwards. He looked really relaxed.

n“This…”

n“Why aren't you taking action? Guards! Come take him away!” Ye Lang directly shouted. The guards outside the palace swarmed in to take away the man on duty that had hesitated.

nThese guards were different from those inside the hall. Ye Lang had a written order in his hands and they knew of his personal circumstances. They naturally believed Ye Lang and chose to believe him unconditionally.

n“How to punish him? Ask him to sing outside, he is not allowed to stop unless I say he can!” When the guards asked how to punish the man, Ye Lang proposed a strange idea.

n“...”

nThen, after some twists and turns, Ye Lang finally began to do what he should do...

n“You thirteen people do not know one another?” Ye Lang looked at the anguished looks on their faces and guessed that they must have been tortured.

n“We are all good people. We are innocent Thirteenth young master!” Seeing Ye Lang, those people became very excited, as if they saw the hope.

n“You all know me?”

nNonsense. In the imperial city, everyone knows you, including the common folk, let alone the spies!

nPerhaps because of this, they thought that Ye Lang may set them free, because he was stupid and always caused chaos. Anyway, they thought they had gotten an opportunity to leave the prison.

n“We all know you. We all like you, Thirteenth young master. And we all know that you are a good and kind man.” Those people kept speaking highly of him.

nCan I be fooled by your words? Do you think I am so stupid!

nYe Lang looked at them with disdain, and then said -

n“Well, go on. Praise me… ”

n“...”

nAfter keeping silent for a while, those people immediately began and strove to praise Ye Lang. They even described his shortcomings as advantages making Ye Lang doubt if they were talking about him...
