From the looks of it, this female martial artist seemed more like a mercenary.
Almost all the experts present had been mercenaries before. That was the most common way to gain experience on this continent. Therefore, almost all martial artists and mages had been mercenaries before.
Since she was a mercenary, there was a problem. Logically speaking, she shouldn't have hired a mercenary for this. Was she trying to deceive others? Even so, she should have hired a top-notch mercenary. How could such a mercenary deal with them?
As for how Zhen Xiaoyan had been captured, this was a question that everyone would understand. Zhen Xiaoyan didn't know Dou Qi or magic. Although she knew alchemy, she wasn't quick to react to a crisis. It was easy for others to take advantage of her.
As for this "palace", although it was called a palace, it was just a very ordinary residence of the city lord. There were many loopholes in its defenses!
No matter what, everyone wanted to know what this female martial artist was trying to do and why she had captured Zhen Xiaoyan!
"Go away, all of you go away! Otherwise, I can't guarantee that she will be in one piece! " The female martial artist shouted at Ye Lanyu and the others. She tightened her grip on the sword on Zhen Xiaoyan's neck. A trace of blood could even be seen.
"Lady, don't be anxious. Just tell me what you want. I, Ye Chengtian, can guarantee that as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you. As long as you let go of the girl in your hands!" Ye Chengtian looked at the female martial artist and said in a deep voice.
Who was Zhen Xiaoyan? She was a girl who had followed Ye Lang through thick and thin. Even if she faced the threat of becoming a fugitive of the empire, even if she knew that the empire would hunt her down, she would still stand by Ye Lang's side.
As Ye Lang's father, how could Ye Chengtian not protect such a girl? He and Long Anqi were just short of calling her their daughter-in-law. They were too good to her!
"General Ye, I believe you can guarantee it. However, I still want to see her before I let her go!!" The female martial artist said calmly. She didn't seem surprised by the existence of Ye Chengtian and the others. Moreover, she also knew their identities.
If that was the case, it meant that this female martial artist might not have captured Zhen Xiaoyan by mistake. Instead, she had done it on purpose. She had obtained their information and knew that Zhen Xiaoyan was an important person who had no combat power.
"Speak. What is your motive?" Ye Chengtian frowned. He felt that something was wrong and understood that this female martial artist was probably targeting them.
"My goal is very simple. I want them to release the young master they took away!" The female warrior pointed at the group of people from the "palace".
"Young Master?"
At this time, everyone was stunned. Both sides did not understand what this female martial artist was saying. At least, no one could understand at this moment.
Could it be that this female martial artist had come for her Eldest Young Master, but her Eldest Young Master had been captured by the people here?
As long as she could get Ye Chengtian and the others to move, she could also achieve her goal. Perhaps it would be more effective. Therefore, she kidnapped Zhen Xiaoyan.
The question now was, who was her young master, and why did the kingdom want to capture her young master?
Ye Chengtian and the rest looked at the people from the 13 allied countries. From their confused expressions, they understood one thing. They didn't know what was going on either.
"Eldest Young Master? Are you talking about the strange young man who gambled with King Gao Fei? " At this time, the person who went in earlier suddenly thought of this and linked the two events together.
"Gamble? Does the Eldest Young Master know how to gamble? " The female martial artist was confused. It made people feel that she wasn't sure about the young man inside, or that she didn't know her Eldest Young Master.
The word "gamble" also gave Ye Chengtian and the rest a piece of information. It turned out that the reason why the king didn't want to see them was because he was gambling with someone else!!
Regarding this, they weren't angry. They were angry that the King put them aside because of gambling!
They just felt sorry for the kingdom. With such a king, he didn't care about the future of the kingdom and only cared about gambling with someone else!!
But thinking about it, a small kingdom like this didn't have much of a future …
"Doesn't your Eldest Young Master know how to gamble? Then it might not be him. Since he could stay with His Majesty for two days and two nights, he must be someone who knows how to gamble! " The person who spoke was a servant who knew King Gao Fei. They were very sure that the young man inside was definitely a gambling expert.
There weren't many people in this mainland who could gamble with King Gao Fei for two days and two nights. They might not even be able to count ten fingers.
"I don't know if he knows how to gamble. I've never seen him gamble before. That's right, a prodigal should know how to gamble. And someone who squanders so thoroughly like him should be even more amazing," the female martial artist said with some emotion.
"Prodigal …"
These three words evoked the memories of Ye Lanyu and the rest, reminding them of Ye Lang. Ye Lang was the most amazing prodigal among them. It made people forget the original meaning of the word prodigal.
"Then, can you confirm that your Eldest Young Master is the young man inside? Actually, even if he is, it's not a problem. Because when His Majesty gambles with others, he never makes things difficult for them. If he wants to make things difficult, it's through gambling! "
The servant continued, "So, you don't have to worry about his safety. You can let this lady go first."
"Let her go? Don't even think about it! How would I know if you're lying to me? Before I see him, I won't let Miss Zhen Xiaoyan go! "The female martial artist didn't let her guard down. She was still holding Zhen Xiaoyan hostage.
"Since you know her name, it means that my guess is right. From the beginning, you've already targeted her. You wanted to use us to pressure them. And since you know our identities and understand us so well, it seems that you're not a simple character!" The Seventh Princess looked at the female martial artist coldly.
"I …" The female martial artist was a little hesitant.
"I don't want to know who you are. It's none of my business! First, tell them what kind of person your Eldest Young Master is and what characteristics he has! " The Seventh Princess only wanted to confirm if the person inside was that Eldest Young Master. She just wanted Zhen Xiaoyan to be safe.
"What kind of person is he? He's a Young Master of a noble family, and a prodigal at that. He likes to find things to waste money on. To him, the more he spends, the happier he will be. He'll never feel heartache because he spends too much," the female martial artist explained.
Why was this person becoming more and more like someone?
