Chapter 626: A Sudden Situation 2
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
To eradicate the problem at its source, the thing she most desired to do now was to eliminate Ye Lengan.
However, despite the significant impact this incident had on her, it did not lead her to lose her composure.
If she impulsively took action against Ye Lengan, she would violate the rules of the Hidden World. Regardless of success, the Enforcement Team would not spare her.
Moreover, if she harmed Ye Lengan, her parents would undoubtedly be displeased when this matter eventually surfaced. She would risk distancing herself from them even further.
Hence, her current objective was to capitalize on the situation before it escalated, working diligently to strengthen her position in her parents’ hearts.
Crucially, she needed to enhance her standing within the family.
Certainly, she wouldn’t remain idle regarding Ye Lengan.
While she wouldn’t take any action against Ye Lengan, the same assurance couldn’t be given by Lian Zixin.
She intended to promptly disclose the fact that the infant from years ago was indeed Ye Lengan to Lian Zixin. Lian Zixin was unlikely to sit back and do nothing. Dealing with an ordinary person from the mortal world should be within Lian Zixin’s capability!
Furthermore, Lian Zixin probably feared the eruption of this matter more than she did. Ye Leng’an’s existence was akin to a ticking time bomb.
As for what actions Lian Zixin might take, that was beyond her consideration.
Throughout the night, everyone harbored their own thoughts. Some slept well, while others did not. However, by the time the sun rose on the following day, each person had composed themselves and went about their respective activities.
Given the lackluster nature of the first day’s competition, Ye Lengan chose not to go to the square for the second day’s matches.
If Ye Leng’an abstained, Huangfu Ruiling would certainly follow suit. He wasn’t interested in such matters and had only attended to accompany Ye Lengan.
The absence of Huangfu Ruiling drew no comments from the other families after a brief glance. Evidently, they had grown accustomed to such occurrences.
Originally planning to take Ye Lengan out for a date and some fun, Huangfu Ruiling received an unexpected call just before leaving. The nature of the call instantly sobered him up.
“What’s happening?” Ye Lengan stood by his side, so she naturally noticed his unusual behavior. “Has something occurred?”
“Yes.” Huangfu Ruiling began, “Do you remember our encounter at the southern boundaries?”
“You mean…” Ye Lengan frowned.
“The incident involved an evil cultivator utilizing forbidden techniques for cultivation,” Huangfu Ruiling explained with a serious expression. “l just received a call from Li San. It seems there’s a trace of that evil cultivator in a small village within the Hidden World. People there were found conducting the same ritual as Duo Ji.”
“What?” Ye Lengan was shocked. “Could it be that this evil cultivator has deceived others?”
“It’s still unknown,” Huangfu Ruiling replied, shaking his head. “We need to go there and investigate to determine the specifics.”
“Then let’s go now!” Ye Lengan stood up, urging, “We can’t afford to delay. Let’s go!’
Huangfu Ruiling took Ye Lengan with him, departing the Huangfu family on a flying sword.
As they left, many observed the scene.
“Master is amazing. I wonder when I’ll reach the level of sword flying.”
“Just think about it. Sword flight isn’t that easy! Given our current cultivation, who knows if we’ll achieve it in a few hundred years? Also, we’re not sure if our cultivation will let us live until then.’
“Master and Miss Ye are truly a match! 1 wonder when they plan to get married. Their wedding will surely be grand.”
Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan were unaware of the discussions within the Huangfu family, but Huangfu Ruixiang listened attentively to everything.
At this moment, he looked toward the direction Huangfu Ruiling had departed, eyes flickering with thoughts unknown to others.
“Ruixiang.” Zhong Yating approached Huangfu Ruixiang with a sweet smile. “What are you looking at?”
The sudden voice brought Huangfu Ruixiang back to reality. He felt a bit
puzzled at the sight of her. “Yating, it’s already late. Why haven’t you gone to the square?”
“I’m about to go.” Zhong Yatings face blushed. Then, as if recalling something, she suddenly asked, “Ruixiang, I heard that you moved to another place to live. Is that true?”
Upon hearing this news, she was quite surprised. Generally, if outer sect disciples like them lost in the competition, they were expected to leave the family promptly. After all, outstanding performance was necessary to be selected by the family and accepted into the inner sect for further cultivation.
However, Huangfu Ruixiang lost the first match just yesterday, and it could be said that he didn’t lose gracefully. Unexpectedly, he wasn’t expelled from the family but was instead accepted into the inner sect for further nurturing. This further convinced her that Huangfu Ruixiangs relationship with the Huangfu family was extraordinary.. Otherwise, why would he receive such treatment?
