Little Sorceress (2)
âDo you know something happened at the town gates? A girl chopped up more than ten guards!â someone ran inside, found his friends and sat down.
âWhat?!â the people who heard him were shocked.
âThe soldiers had an unlucky day. They saw how pretty the girl was and wanted to take advantage of that. They didnât know she was a little sorceress, she didnât even speak much then just chopped them up! All of them either had an arm or a leg chopped off.â
As they spoke, they wouldnât have guessed that the main character was sitting nearby.
âSorceress? Li Yue, this nickname suits you,â Ye Lang said with a smile.
âHmmph!â she ignored him.
âThen whereâs the little sorceress now?â said those people.
âI donât know, she probably ran away with the fair-faced bastard. Why would they stay here waiting for the soldiers to come back for revenge? Although those few soldiers werenât strong, they are still the Tanlang military group. Offending the military group here will have greater repercussions than offending the empress!â
âFair-faced bastardâŠâ Li Yue forgot about everything they said other than Ye Langâs nickname. âThis doesnât suit you at all, youâre not fair, and youâre not handsome!â
ââŠâ Ye Lang was irritated. âWhat do you mean, look at my skin!â he pointed at the part on his arm where the sun couldnât reach under his clothing. âAlso, look at my face! Iâm no Pan An but I am still handsome!â
âHandsome? Has the meaning of the word changed recently?â Li Yue jabbed. She didnât know who Pan An was but guessed that he must be a handsome man.
âNo, I am definitely a handsome man, you can ask the people here if you donât believe me.â Ye Lang shook his head, preparing to get up to ask the people nearby if he was a handsome man.
The results were as expected. Even if he wasnât handsome, everyone would say yes anyway⊠Plus he looked average. Although he was far from actual handsome celebrities, they could still bring themselves to say that he was handsome.
Plus, Ye Lang had hidden potential. If he put on some makeup and styled himself up, he was a pretty boy who can make teenage girls fall in love instantly.
But he didnât like to dress up like thatâŠ
âYou said the sorceress is called Li Yue? Then whatâs the guyâs name?â people continued to talk in the hall. Li Yue had mentioned her name plus Ye Lang kept calling her name too hence her name wasnât a secret.
âI donât know, he didnât introduce himself!â
At this point, Ye Lang realised he never declared his own name.
âLi Yue, do you think I should tell people my name?â Ye Lang realised he was going to continue meeting situations like that. The people here were going to ask for his name at some point.
âYeah! But donât use your real name!â Li Yue said.
â?? Why?â
âIf you donât tell them your name, other people will guess who we are. But if you tell them a fake name, they wonât know,â she said simply.
âOhâŠâ he nodded.
âYou understood me?â Li Yue was weirded out. Youâre always so clueless, you shouldnât be able to understand this. I havenât explained further.
âWhatâs there to not understand? Well, if other people know you, Li Yue, are here, theyâll know Iâm here, and we match their stories. Actually, if I use a fake name, everyone would not think of me from the rumoursâŠ. youâre Li Yue but there are many people called Li Yue in this worldâŠ
âThey think I would use a fake name but youâll use your real name⊠then theyâll think weâll both use fake names out of convenience⊠with you using your real name, itâd probably drive away suspicion instead!â Ye Lang explained, this was exactly what Li Yue was thinking.
âYouâre right! Looks like you can be quite smart sometimes.â Li Yue stared at him and felt like he could be quite intelligent if he wasnât clueless.
âOf course!â he said proudly.
âNot shy at all,â she huffed.
âWhatâs âshyâ? I do not know what that means,â he said casually then started eating. Li Yue too, the both of them ate leisurely then sipped tea and chatted.
âYe Lang, we should leave,â she said after a while. At this point, she felt like those people would have almost caught up by now. It was going to be very annoying soon.
âLeave? Where? Arenât we going to stay here for the night?â he asked as if nothing had happened.
ââŠâ Li Yue was speechless. âWe canât stay here, those people will come to take revenge. Although weâre not afraid of them, itâs going to be a lot of trouble, itâs going to delay the journey!â
âOh, is that so? Letâs leave then,â he replied.
âGood!â she nodded.
She suddenly felt like things had turned weird. She was the one who was kidnapped, why did it feel like she was helping him finish the mission nowâŠ
âYouâre leaving? You really think you can leave?!â
Just as they arrived at the entrance, a group of people were already there, blocking off the entrance. They were here, though the two did not know who these people were.
âYep!â Ye Lang replied.
ââŠâ
It was a rhetorical questionâŠ
âYou can try, Iâll watch and see how youâll leave this place,â a leader said cooly, standing right in front of them.
âIâll be leaving with my lion. Busboy, bring my lion here!â Ye Lang answered his question.
His answer made the manâs expression change. They felt like Ye Lang was patronising and it angered them. âBoss, this kid thinks he can joke with us! You must take revenge!â
âEh, your armâs recovered? Looks like you have great doctors here.â Ye Lang recognised the speaker to be one of the soldiers who got his arm chopped off.
âHmmph!â the soldier grunted, his face filled with contempt.
âYou think this is it? Youâre wrong! With this connecting method, your arm will only partially recover its strength. Youâll be able to carry out daily tasks but to wield your knife and kill people? That will be impossible,â Ye Lang said as he looked at the soldier.
âThatâs bullshit, what do you know? Our army doctor said as long as I rest, Iâll be good as new soon,â the soldier said immediately. It was obvious his doctor did not tell him the entire truth.
Perhaps it was to give him hope. The doctor did not want his patient losing hope.
