Soon, Lian Mengzhu returned.
After lunch, the four of them returned to the square.
It was almost time for the last match to begin, so there was no need to continue walking around.
After Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu returned to the square, the first thing they did was to go to the inner room to take a look at Ye Wanwan.
Upon seeing her parents enter, Ye Wanwan’s eyes flashed with surprise. She then asked, “Father, Mother, why are you here at this time?”
“We came to see you!” Lian Mengzhu directly sat down by Ye Wanwan’s bedside. Then, she stretched out her hand and touched Ye Wanwan’s pale face, saying with some heartache, “You still don’t look too good. Otherwise, let’s forget about the competition in the afternoon!”
“No.” Ye Wanwan’s attitude was very firm. “Mother, I’ve already come this far. I can’t stop at the last step. Moreover, even if I lose, I have to lose fair and square. I definitely won’t run away.”
After hearing Ye Wanwan’s words, Lian Zixin opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say.
Ye Hongxuan took a step forward and gestured for Lian Mengzhu to move aside. Then, he sat down and began to take Ye Wanwan’s pulse.
A moment later, he looked at Ye Wanwan and said, “Wanwan, although you’ve already taken the healing pill, your injuries aren’t light. You haven’t fully recovered yet. Even if you go on stage, you won’t be able to win. Huangfu Changmao’s cultivation is higher than yours to begin with. Even if you weren’t injured, you wouldn’t be able to defeat him, let alone now…”
“Father, I know you want to persuade me, but I insist on going on stage,” Ye Wanwan insisted. “So, you don’t have to say anything else.”
Looking at Ye Wanwan’s stubborn appearance, Ye Hongxuan couldn’t help but sigh. “l really don’t know whose personality you take after!”
If it was in the past, when Ye Wanwan heard such words, she would definitely act coquettishly towards Ye Hongxuan and say that she resembled her father.
However, now that she knew about her past and heard such words again, she felt guilty for a moment. She could only lower her head and remain silent.
Ye Hongxuan looked at the silent Ye Wanwan and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. Then, he continued, “Since you insist, then we won’t say anything else. However, Wanwan, I still want to remind you of something. Wait a minute, if you really can’t win, then just admit defeat!”
Listening to Ye Hongxuan’s words of concern, Ye Wanwan nodded her head, feeling touched. “Father, I understand. Don’t worry! I’m not a child anymore. I just have to do what I have to do.”
Ye Hongxuan nodded.
However, when he looked at Ye Wanwan, he couldn’t help but recall what Ye An’an had said. For some reason, the more he looked, the more he felt that Ye Wanwan and Lian Zixin really looked alike.
“Father, what’s wrong?” Sensing Ye Hongxuan’s gaze, Ye Wanwan felt a little strange. “Is there something on my face? Why do you keep looking at me like that?”
She didn’t know if it was because she felt guilty, but when she faced her father’s gaze, she felt a little flustered, as if she had been seen through.
“Nothing, I just feel that Wanwan has really grown up.” Ye Hongxuan smiled and shook his head. Then, he said teasingly, “Back then, you were just a little dumpling. Now, you’ve grown into a big girl. You really have a lot of changes!’
He felt that he had gone crazy. He had actually been swayed by Ye An’an’s words. It seemed that he had been too tired recently. Otherwise, he would not have been so easily affected.
“That’s true!” Lian Mengzhu smiled and said, “In the blink of an eye, Wanwan has become a big girl. In a few years, she might be engaged.”
In the Hidden World, no one would get married too early. After all, they had such a long lifespan. It would not matter if they got married later. Moreover, compared to marriage, everyone paid more attention to cultivation.
However, this did not stop them from getting engaged. This was especially true for large families like theirs. In order to form a strong alliance, they would set up an engagement early when the time was right. Then, when they reached the age of marriage, they would discuss the marriage.
Once the engagement was decided, it was absolutely impossible to change it at will. After all, it represented the honor and promise of the two families. Therefore, many times, the promise of an engagement was more binding than marriage in the mortal world.
“Mother.” After hearing Lian Mengzhu’s words, Ye Wanwan’s face couldn’t help but turn red. She said shyly, “What are you talking about?! I’m still young, so I don’t need to think about these things.”
“You’re not young anymore.” Lian Mengzhu smiled and shook her head. Then, she said teasingly, “It’s not too early to decide on the engagement now. It’s not like you’re getting married right away. Besides, didn’t you pester us to agree to your marriage with Huangfu Ruiling?”
At this point, Lian Mengzhu stopped. She also realized that she had said something wrong. She should not have mentioned Huangfu Ruiling at this time. Especially now that Wanwan had let go of Huangfu Ruiling and was going to accept Murong Xingrui.
“Wanwan, I was just spouting nonsense. Don’t take it to heart.” Lian Mengzhu hurriedly explained.
“Mother, don’t worry. I don’t care about Huangfu Ruiling anymore.” Ye
Wanwan smiled and continued, “So, you don’t have to be cautious in front of me.”
“It’s best if you can think it through.” Ye Hongxuan nodded and said, “If you really like Murong Xingrui, then after the Family Competition ends, Murong Jingming and I will discuss your matters together..”
