Chapter 448
The Development of The Li Family (1)
âIf that is the case, I really hope youâll like her. I donât like my sisters mixing with⊠random men. At least youâre alright,â muttered the lady bitterly.
âWeâll see. Is your boss Li Yan?â asked Ye Lang.
âYeah, he manages this place now.â She nodded. There was no need to hide the truth because everyone knew.
âWhen will he be here? Can I meet him?â Ye Lang asked calmly, so calm no one knew what he intended.
âI donât know when Mr Li will be here. He usually comes when he can but heâs been very busy recently. Thereâs a new girl today so he might visit, why do you want to meet him?â
Ye Lang waved. âNothing much, I just wanted to ask who gave him the right to use this piece of land with this name.â
âOh, I see⊠Wait, what? You want to ask him that? Are you here to cause a scene? I suggest you donât start anything here, maybe you should leave before he comes. The Li family is not a group of people you can afford to offend,â warned the lady, not because she was looking out for the business but out of concern for Ye Lang.
Perhaps Li Yan wasnât the best boss, or she wouldnât have warned Ye Lang like this.
âIâm not looking for trouble, I just want to ask him a few questions. How has the Li family been these years?â asked Ye Lang, once again with hidden intentions.
âItâs best you donât ask. The Li family is currently the largest clan in Soaring Sky, the Ye family isnât doing wellâ or I should say, the Ye family here isnât doing well. The true Yeâs have left the empire,â said the lady. If she dared declare this in public, this meant it was something everyone knew and would not deny.
âI guess the Ye lineage here isnât great but they canât be so weak even the Li family could overpower them. What happened?â Ye Lang was perplexed, for he was familiar with the power struggles of the families. He knew that the Yeâs were much, much more powerful than the Liâs and even if his side of the family had already left the empire, the ones who were left were still enough to hold the fort.
âLetâs not talk about this here. If youâre interested, we can talk inside but youâll be charged a fee. You donât want our girls so guess Iâll have to do,â said the lady as she dragged Ye Lang inside.
This woman was cunning indeed. The customer didnât want a girl and yet he was now paying a fee for a girl⊠who was the manager herself.
Then again, she wasnât THAT old and she was an attractive woman too. Her position of leadership meant she didnât have to engage in relations if she didnât want to. Though a portion of the customers had requested for her, she never did entertain them.
Ye Lang was in for a treat! âWell, that was what some of the customers thought, jealous of the way he was pulled into a room for a chat with an attractive woman.
If only they knew Ye Lang would not let the lady touch him. What would they think? Theyâd probably guess that the fox kid had some peculiar preferencesâŠ
Very few beastmen showed up in places like this, especially such an intellectual, elegant tribe like the foxes. They would never be seen at a place that reeked of sin.
Was this fox gentleman not pure-blooded? Perhaps he was half-human, half-fox? He must be.
âSir, is your last name Fox?â The lady spoke first. As the head lady of the brothel, she knew a lot about many people.
âHey, how did you know? I havenât told you but my nameâs Ford Fox.â Ye Lang was puzzled. He hadnât told her his fake name yet and had only introduced himself once at the auction. Had news of his purchases reached this brothel already?
Fine, it didnât matter. It was a fake name anyway, it didnât matter if they knew.
Ye Lang did not dwell on the matter, it was all fake anyway.
âSo you ARE from the Fox clan! Why are you here? A holiday?â she asked politely.
âYeah.â Ye Lang nodded, still confused.
Fox clan? Does this mean itâs an actual family? What a coincidence, I only made it up!
From the ladyâs reaction, they must be quite influential, though not the kind with too much power. Perhaps influential enough for people to be polite but not enough to avoid trouble.
Ye Lang didnât mind. It was one more familyâs name to protect him.
âYouâre from the Fox family, you wonât have trouble getting the girl you want tonight. All I request is for you to treat her nicely. Donât make my sisters suffer, they have been trough enough,â said the lady.
âAlright. Hey, werenât you going to tell me about the Li family?â Ye Lang didnât want to dwell on the topic, he only wanted to know what happened between the Li and Ye family at Soaring Sky Empire.
âItâs just what it is. One power falls, another rises. Itâs very common, itâs not much of a story to tellâŠâ sighed the lady, about to elaborate whenâ
ââŠâ Ye Lang was stunned for a moment. âWhat the hell, are you kidding me? âNot much of a storyâ?! Then why did you drag me in here?!â
ââŠâ
âSir, I didnât say I wasnât going to tell you the story! Iâm just preparing myself!â huffed the lady, rolling her eyes flirtatiously at Ye Lang.
Ye Lang was completely immune to her advances and ignored her.
âTell me when youâre ready⊠Hey, it still looks the sameâŠâ once he entered the Chamber of Hearts, he realised the room looked exactly the same as before. He took a chaise lounge out of the room into the yard, then lay in it, staring at the sky.
â?? Sir, youâve been here?â From his tone and his actions, she could tell it wasnât his first time here.
âYeah, I have but this place didnât belong to Li Yan then, it should belong to⊠Nevermind, you carry onâŠâ Ye Lang stretched, looking for a comfortable position.
âWhere should I start⊠The story begins when the Ye family split into two. At that point, the head of the Ye family didnât stay to cooperate with the empress, he left the empire and brought Mr Ye Chengtian and the thirteenth prince with him instead. Soon, many descendants of the Ye family also left to follow the old patriarch.â
