Another thing was that Xiang Kong's Chief Alchemist had also entered Ye Clan's academy. Moreover, he had been living in Karghalik with a very subtle identity. This was also a strange thing that no one could understand.
Who was this Chief Alchemist? Everyone knew that she was Dorchid, who had been defeated by Ye Lang and Zhen Xiaoyan. She could have cleared up the matter, but she didn't do so.
Now, Zhen Xiaoyan and the others understood that it was impossible for Dorchid to have a child because she was still a virgin. Now that she was a virgin, there was no need to talk about her past!!
Dorchid's identity in Karghalik was quite mysterious. She often hung out with Zhen Xiaoyan and the others as if they were friends. This was very surprising and puzzling, but they didn't think too much about it.
After all, Dorchid was very low-key and mysterious. No one could figure out her goal or her personality.
At the same time, everyone understood from Dorchid that Ye Lang had to come back 10 years later. This was something that couldn't be changed …
Although Li Yue had also explained this point, everyone still had some hope. Dorchid's explanation, as well as the fact that five years had passed, made everyone believe her.
As for Li Yue, ever since Ye Lang and Zhao Yarou disappeared, she had been guarding the ancient ruins. She hadn't left at all in the past five years, and she had only told the Ye family about it.
Right now, there was a very strange gathering in Karghalik. There were representatives from almost every faction. It seemed like a negotiation, but at the same time, it wasn't.
Karghalik, as a neutral city, was protecting the safety of all factions. At the same time, they wouldn't be biased towards any side. Even the people from Xiang Kong were treated equally.
Perhaps Karghalik wanted everyone to peacefully negotiate and have a perfect ending. At the very least, they couldn't let the stalemate continue.
This gathering wasn't very official, because the government wouldn't recognize it. As such, the location wasn't very official and was held in a private place.
In Karghalik, the best place to hold this private place was the Ye family's residence!!
"Lanyu, don't be angry, don't be angry!! This matter is very important. It's related to the well-being of the people. " This wasn't the first time someone had reminded Lanyu. This time, it was her second sister, Ye Lanyun.
"I know, second sister! I won't be so reckless. Furthermore, what's the use of getting angry at them? My brother won't come out … If they had a way, they wouldn't have been unable to save Zhao Yarou. "Ye Lanyu said indifferently, as if he was very reasonable.
"I know you know about these things, but you also said the same thing last time. Didn't you still kick him out?" Ye Lanyun said a little helplessly.
Ye Lanyun believed Ye Lanyu's words, but she also knew that even if Ye Lanyu knew these things, it didn't mean that she wouldn't be angry.
Every time she saw Dorchid, Ye Lanyu would get angry. She, who was a Heaven Rank expert, had wanted to kill Dorchid many times. If it wasn't for the fact that Dorchid had someone to protect her, she would have died long ago.
After all, Dorchid was the one who imprisoned Ye Lang. Li Yue had mentioned this, and Dorchid had admitted it.
At the same time, Ye Lanyun and the others felt a little strange. It was strange that Dorchid knew how dangerous this place was, but she still stayed here. She said that she was here to study the alchemy left behind by Ye Lang, but no one was sure what her real purpose was.
Although everyone was studying the alchemy left behind by Ye Lang, no one could completely understand it. Even she, the chief alchemist, couldn't understand it at all, not even a little bit.
This made Dorchid and the other alchemists admire Ye Lang. They sighed that Ye Lang's alchemy skills were unrivalled!!
Dorchid usually studied the alchemy left behind by Ye Lang, but she also studied in the alchemy college. She learned the teaching materials that Ye Lang left behind, which benefited her a lot.
Of course, the people of the Ye family weren't idiots. They wouldn't let a special person like Dorchid learn the things inside for free. The Ye family suggested that if Dorchid wanted to study here, she must teach here and teach everyone everything she knew about alchemy.
In other words, Dorchid wasn't just a student, she was also a teacher. While she was learning, she also had to pass on her knowledge to others.
Originally, Ye Clan's people proposed this condition in order to embarrass Dorchid. Because everyone thought that it was impossible for Dorchid to teach, it was impossible for her to teach others. If that was the case, wouldn't they be leaking Xiang Kong's secret?
However, they didn't expect that Dorchid would actually agree. Moreover, she wasn't faking it. She really taught everything she knew about alchemy to the college. Because of her, some of the alchemy devices in Xiang Kong started to become clear, and they weren't that mysterious anymore.
When things became less mysterious, everyone would be able to decipher and defend against them.
Regarding this, Xiang Kong didn't seem to care. They didn't feel that Dorchid was betraying them. They still gave her the position of the chief alchemist and simply said that she came here to learn and exchange knowledge.
In fact, for Xiang Kong, mastering Ye Lang's alchemy was just as important. What Dorchid knew wasn't everything that Xiang Kong had mastered. There were still many secret weapons that they hadn't used yet, so they weren't afraid.
Many people were willing to trade something they already knew for something they didn't know, and it was also useful to them.
Although on the surface, Dorchid's leak had benefited others greatly and made it more and more difficult for Xiang Kong to advance, no one knew what was really going on.
This time, Dorchid was representing Xiang Kong in this gathering. She would definitely attend the Ye family's gathering. In other words, Ye Lanyu had a high chance of seeing her. If that was the case, no one could be sure what would happen.
"Miss Lanyu, Dorchid isn't actually a bad person. She and Ye Lang are the same. They just care about alchemy! She shut down Ye Lang because of Zhao Yarou's order. This isn't something that she can control. " Zhen Xiaoyan was also present. This time, she was the chef for everyone. She would use delicious food to make everyone happy.
As long as they were in a good mood, anything could be discussed. Perhaps they could reach a satisfactory result. This was Zhen Xiaoyan's role, and this was also the arrangement of the Ye family's Old Seven.
"Xiaoyan, you're too kind. You can forgive anyone!" Ye Lanyu shook her head and said helplessly. She couldn't say anything to Zhen Xiaoyan.
Ye Lang had always treasured Zhen Xiaoyan. Although it was for Zhen Xiaoyan's delicious food, Ye Lanyu loved her too.
"Actually, at that time, both Ye Lang and I were in the wrong … The one who should be forgiven is me," Zhen Xiaoyan said as she looked forward.
"This isn't your fault. She didn't want to clarify herself. This is her own will. She wanted to die. Could it be that she can say that you killed her?" Ye Lanyu said indifferently. Almost everyone knew about this matter.
"…" Zhen Xiaoyan didn't say anything. She couldn't understand this either. She had asked Dorchid, but she couldn't accept Dorchid's answer. She felt that a girl's reputation was more important than anything else. How could she not clarify?
This was a problem of values. Some people thought that things were important, but in the eyes of others, they weren't.
"Forget about her. I heard that Cousin Long Ji will be here too, and Ella's little princess. I haven't seen her for five years. I wonder what she's like now! It is said that she has already become slender and elegant, and is about to bloom … "Ye Lanyu said with some anticipation.
Since even Sky Soaring's party was attending this gathering, Vermillion Bird, Ella, and some other forces, including the orcs, would naturally be there.
"How uncultured. Since she's already a beautiful bud, how can she still be a bud?!" The Seventh Princess provoked Ye Lanyu.
"Pfft, I'm just describing it. She should be a bud. Even after five years, she shouldn't be growing too fast … At least, she won't have breasts as big as yours …" Ye Lanyu looked at the Seventh Princess with a hint of jealousy, but she spoke calmly.
"You're really hopeless. You're almost thirty, yet you're still so frivolous. No wonder no one dares to pursue you!!" The Seventh Princess blushed slightly.
"What do you mean almost thirty? I'm still a few years away. If I'm fast, you're almost there too!! Also, no one dares to pursue me because I beat them away, not because I'm frivolous … Pfft, who's frivolous!! "Ye Lanyu spat.
"That … Are you guys … talking about me?" At this moment, a timid voice sounded.
"No, I'm saying … Eh, little girl, you look familiar. Have we met somewhere before?" When Ye Lanyu replied, she suddenly discovered the source of the voice. It was a very petite and cute little girl who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old.
Beside this little girl stood a noble young girl. The young girl revealed a faint smile as she looked at Ye Lanyu and the others.
"Ah, Cousin Long Ji, when did you come? Why didn't you tell us? We're going to pick you up. "Ye Lanyun spoke up and pointed out the noble young girl's identity.
"With our current identities, how could we come with great fanfare? You've been surrounded by Xiang Kong." Princess Long Ji smiled and said softly.
Immediately after, Princess Long Ji looked at Ye Lanyu and said, "Lanyu, don't look anymore. The little girl you're talking about is Karin. She's been with you for a long time. Why can't you recognize her?"
"That's right, Little Princess Karin. But, this …" Ye Lanyu came to a sudden realization. She remembered who the little girl in front of her was, or it should be said that she confirmed who the little girl in front of her was.
"But what? Did she change so much that you couldn't recognize her? "Princess Long Ji asked with a smile.
"No, it's not that she changed a lot, it's that the change is smaller than I imagined. I thought she would at least have the feeling of a bud, but now it seems that she's still in the bud." Ye Lanyu said very directly.
"…" The little princess was silent and looked at Ye Lanyu with an innocent expression.
"You really don't know how to keep your mouth shut. Little Karin's change is a little small, but at least she's changing. Maybe it's because she hasn't developed for too long, so she's a little slow! This is someone else's sore spot, don't mention it … "Princess Long Ji said very seriously. However, she seemed to have forgotten that she was also provoking the little princess.
"…" The little princess continued to remain silent.
"That's true! Little Karin, it's fine. If you grow like this, in another five years, you'll be able to get married. At that time, your brother will come out, and then let him preside over your wedding. " Ye Lanyu patted the little princess's head. She still treated the little princess as a child and never thought that she was the representative of a force.
"Brother …" The little princess called out and didn't continue. She looked a little sad, as if it shouldn't have appeared on her young and tender little face.
However, this young and tender appearance was just an appearance. Her real age wasn't young.
"Alright, let's talk about these things later. Is everyone here?" Princess Long Ji asked.
"Almost! We're just missing the representative of the beastmen … "Ye Lanyu replied." I don't know who the beastmen will come. If Tai Ya comes out, then it'll be funny. "
"What's funny?" Princess Long Ji asked in confusion.
"You still don't know, but unfortunately, most of the people who came to this gathering are girls. Furthermore … all of them have an affair with my brother … No, they're related to him." Ye Lanyu said with a smile.
"What? That's interesting? "Princess Long Ji's eyes lit up. She seemed to be looking forward to this gathering even more.
"Hehe, you'll know once you go in!!" Ye Lanyu smiled and kept her in suspense.
So be it. It's just a little later anyway, and it'll be clearer this way.
Princess Long Ji quickly entered the temporary meeting hall that had been prepared. This was a living room of the Ye Family, an inconspicuous small living room. However, she didn't expect that an important meeting that would affect the situation of the continent for the next few years would be held here.
Of course, although Princess Long Ji quickly entered, she didn't show any signs of anxiety. She was still as noble and calm as ever. As soon as she entered the temporary meeting hall, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Princess Long Ji also enjoyed this gaze. Perhaps it was because she was used to it. All along, she had been the focus of everyone's eyes. It had always been like this.
At this moment, Princess Long Ji discovered that almost all the people in this living room were girls. Furthermore, these girls' looks and temperaments weren't inferior to hers.
What kind of scenery was this? She believed that many people wanted to see it. Girls of the same level as Princess Long Ji gathered together. What a gorgeous scene it was.
"Who are you?" A young girl looked at Princess Long Ji and asked indifferently.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Long Ji from Vermillion Bird! May I ask who you are … "Princess Long Ji asked with a smile. She wanted to know who these girls were and what their relationship was with Ye Lang.
"Princess Long Ji? Ye Lang's cousin? "The young girl from before asked in a daze.
It was obvious that this young girl knew that Princess Long Ji was Ye Lang's cousin, so she definitely knew the power that Princess Long Ji represented. At the same time, she should also know Princess Long Ji's current status.
None of the people here were ordinary girls, so they naturally knew about this!
And she didn't care about other identities. She only cared that Princess Long Ji was Ye Lang's cousin. This meant that she cared about Ye Lang more than anything else.
"That's right!" Princess Long Ji nodded.
"Xuanyuan Bing, from the Holy City!" The young girl nodded and said softly.
"So it's the Holy Maiden. I've heard that little bastard Ye Lang mention you, but I've never seen you before." Princess Long Ji immediately said.
And Princess Long Ji's words seemed to indicate a situation …
"Likewise, I've also heard him mention you, but I've never seen you before!" Xuanyuan Bing replied indifferently.
That's right, it was this. The few girls present all seemed to have a deep relationship with Ye Lang, but they seemed to have never seen each other before.
However, they should understand each other very well. It could be said that they had known each other for a long time!
"You must be Cold-Blooded Five. He seems to like you very much." At this moment, Xuanyuan Bing looked at an ice-cold young girl beside Princess Long Ji who had not spoken or moved. Suddenly, she said something that puzzled people.
"?!" Ye Lanyu, Princess Long Ji and the others looked at Xuanyuan Bing in shock.
Ye Lanyu and the others were shocked because they did not know that the person beside Princess Long Ji was actually Cold-Blooded Five. Cold-Blooded Five's current attire was the same as an ordinary member of the cold-blooded group. He was also masked and concealed himself extremely well. If he did not explain himself, he would definitely not be able to tell that it was her.
Princess Long Ji did not introduce herself just now, so Ye Lanyu and the others thought that Princess Long Ji had only brought a guard with her. After all, she had gone deep into the enemy's camp this time.
"You can tell it's me?" Cold-Blooded Five did not hide it anymore. He took off his mask and asked.
"Yes!" Don't forget, my heart and his are connected. I can more or less sense his feelings towards you. "Xuanyuan Bing said indifferently.
"If that's the case, do you know what's going on with him?" Cold-Blooded Five asked directly.
"… If I knew, we wouldn't have to talk to this woman here." Xuanyuan Bing said helplessly and looked at the young girl with hostility.
This young girl was none other than Dorchid!
Similarly, if they hadn't gathered together today, they probably wouldn't have known Dorchid! And Dorchid wouldn't know Princess Long Ji, Xuanyuan Bing and the others.
"That place is isolated from the rest of the world. Even if you have telepathy, it's impossible for you to sense it." Dorchid said coldly at this time. She happily accepted all kinds of hostile gazes.
"Holy Maiden, how does he feel about me? Does he like me too?" At this time, beside the little princess, the red-clothed girl who had come with Princess Long Ji and the others said.
If she didn't speak, everyone seemed to have forgotten her existence. Although her beauty was also top-notch, she seemed a little more ordinary here.
"Xiao Fei, could it be that you've fallen in love with my little brother?" Ye Lanyu asked with a smile. This red-clothed girl was none other than Fei.
This time, Fey was escorting the Little Princess. Fey was now a great expert of the Ella Empire. She had the power of a Heaven-rank expert and was about the same age as the Little Princess. As a woman, she naturally became the first choice for the Little Princess's bodyguard.
Of course, this time, Fei was also very willing to accept the mission, because she wanted to come here to see the situation and ask some questions about Ye Lang.
"No, I just want to know how he feels about me. I think he hates me a little more." Fei shook her head and said very directly. There was no extra emotion in her tone, as if she was only concerned about what a friend thought of her.
"This … He indeed doesn't like you a little, but he doesn't hate you …" Xuanyuan Bing said a little embarrassedly. Right now, she didn't want to lie, nor did she like him.
"I knew it!" Fei smiled. She wasn't disappointed because of this. This was something she had already thought of.
"Third Brother, this place is too strange. Let's go and let them talk first!" At this time, Seventh Brother was originally accompanying the various representatives, but after seeing this situation, he felt that it was a little strange. How was this a gathering of various parties? It seemed like a gathering of Ye Lang's friends.
"Mm, that's true!" Third Brother nodded and got up to leave.
At this moment, Third Brother and Seventh Brother had already become the leaders of the Ye Family. They had basically taken over the previous generation's leader, and it was also because of this that they would attend this gathering.
"Why are you guys leaving!! And you guys, hurry up and get to the main topic. Don't talk about Ye Lang anymore. You'll have plenty of time in the future. "Dorchid frowned and looked at these girls.
"Alright, let's get to the main topic! I think we should also talk. If the war continues like this, it won't be good for either of us. "Princess Long Ji said to Dorchid.
"Our thoughts are the same. Let's temporarily stop the war!" Dorchid said. Her suggestion was a little confusing.
Originally, everyone thought that Xiang Kong wouldn't easily ask for a ceasefire. From their arrangements, it seemed that they wouldn't stop until they annexed the entire continent.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Xiang Kong was the first to propose a ceasefire, even though it was only temporary.
