Chapter 6 Missing

With the previous experience, they had become more cautious and decided to observe from the sidelines this time. And they were glad they made that decision. In learning to be a lord, one had to study some imperial laws and understand the current state of the empire.

After seeing these, the Thirteenth Young Master came up with some ideas that made the Ye family jump in fear.

"Such laws are unfair. Why is there such a big difference between the standards for nobles and commoners? The law should be equal for everyone. Even if the emperor breaks the law, he should be convicted and beheaded!"

"The slave system should be abolished..."

"The leaders of the country should be chosen by the people..."

...

Regarding the Thirteenth Young Master's nominal career battle, after countless attempts and failures, Ye Chengtian and his wife had a headache. They even started to feel a bit lost and directly asked the Thirteenth Young Master what kind of person he wanted to become in the future and what he wanted to do.

The Thirteenth Young Master thought for a moment and then said with a smile, "I want to become a prodigal son!"

"..." Ye Chengtian and his wife looked at each other in dismay. After a long time, they asked, "What? Say that again?"

"I want to become a prodigal son." The Thirteenth Young Master repeated and added, "A prodigal son with power, influence, money, and beautiful women. Hmm, it would be even better to have some lackeys!!"

"What do you want to be that for?" At that time, Ye Chengtian and his wife didn't know what to say and asked foolishly.

"I want to squander, I want to be a prodigal!"

"..."

"Ye Lanyu!!!" Ye Chengtian and his wife roared and rushed towards a certain place, or rather, towards a certain person, which was the Thirteenth Young Master's elder sister, Ye Lanyu. In their opinion, the Thirteenth Young Master couldn't have such strange ideas. The only possibility was that Xiao Lanyu had instilled them in him. Therefore, they wanted to give Xiao Lanyu a good lesson.

Poor Xiao Lanyu was inexplicably made a scapegoat again. Similarly, the Thirteenth Young Master also looked at his parents in confusion. He didn't understand what this had to do with his elder sister. At this time, the Thirteenth Young Master was only a little over five years old, yet he already had such grand ambitions. He was indeed a prodigy.

There was also another matter, which was the Thirteenth Young Master's name. Regarding this, the Ye family also felt a bit strange. Originally, they had given the Thirteenth Young Master the name Ye Tianyou, with the obvious meaning of hoping for heaven's blessings upon him. However, strangely enough, after the Thirteenth Young Master learned to read and write, he always wrote his name as Ye Lang, and when others called him Ye Tianyou, he would ignore them. Calling him Ye Lang, on the other hand, would elicit a response from him.

Although it was strange, after getting used to it, everyone gradually forgot the name Ye Tianyou, and it was replaced by the two characters Ye Lang. This became the Thirteenth Young Master's lifelong code name, his name.

Ye Lang? Was this a coincidence or was there another reason? No one knew the answer yet. All they knew was that since Young Master Ye had decided to be a prodigal, he needed to spend money. And the first thing to do to spend money was to have money. If you didn't have money, how could you spend it, how could you squander it, how could you be a prodigal?

However, this matter was easy to solve. Although Young Master Ye had never left home and didn't need to spend money, the amount of allowance he received every year was immeasurable, almost comparable to that of a small wealthy man. And this was just his allowance. If he asked for it, he would get even more.

With this economic foundation, the next thing to do was the second step, which was the key to this problem: going out! For many people, going out was a very ordinary thing, but for our Thirteenth Young Master, it was a rather troublesome matter. No one in the entire Ye family would let him go out, at least not yet.

But then, something strange happened to Young Master Ye again.

"Master, Madam, it's not good! The Young Master is missing." With the maid's hurried and frightened cry, the Ye family suddenly discovered that the rarely seen Thirteenth Young Master had disappeared. They searched the entire Ye residence but couldn't find him.

At first, they thought Xiao Lanyu was playing some kind of game with the Thirteenth Young Master, but they quickly ruled out this idea. Xiao Lanyu was currently being punished and was isolated from the Thirteenth Young Master, making contact impossible. In fact, at that time, Xiao Lanyu was meditating and cultivating magic. When she heard about this, she immediately gave up her cultivation and rushed to find her younger brother.

This time, the entire Ye family was shaken. It was hard not to be. The head of the Ye family almost mobilized the entire clan to search. At this time, no one bothered to investigate how the Thirteenth Young Master had disappeared, although everyone was very curious about it. How could a five-year-old child, a fool, disappear without a trace like this? It was too strange.

But for now, their top priority was to find him. Regardless of whether the Thirteenth Young Master was a good-for-nothing or not, he was the grandson of the current head of the Ye family and the son of Ye Chengtian.

Soon, the streets and alleys of the entire imperial capital were filled with people from the Ye family, as well as the city guards who had received the news, all searching for the Thirteenth Young Master. This scene confused many unknowing onlookers. They couldn't guess what had happened to cause such a commotion.

So these unknowing onlookers began to inquire. Although they didn't find out who they were looking for, they did learn that they were looking for a five-year-old noble young master, a noble young master with black hair and black eyes who might be a little slow.

Some more perceptive people had already guessed who this noble young master was. In this imperial capital, there weren't many people who could cause such a stir, and only a few fit the description. They were now curious why this young master would get lost, as he had always stayed at home.

Some people went looking for the young master with this question in mind, while others went with other motives. Soon, the number of people searching for the young master in the entire imperial capital grew larger and larger.

Now, unless the young master had already left the imperial capital, he would be found, and it would be very, very soon. Well, at least that was what everyone thought.

However, things were not as easy as everyone imagined.

They searched for three whole days, practically turning the imperial capital upside down, but they still couldn't find any trace of the Thirteenth Young Master.

Where could the Thirteenth Young Master have gone? How could he have avoided the search? Could he have been kidnapped? All these questions swirled in everyone's minds...
