He glanced at Ye Wanwan, his eyes filled with disappointment.
He had never demanded his daughter to secure a victory. Even before the competition, he had advised his daughter to give up, but due to her persistence, he had no choice.
However, he never expected that Ye Wanwan would resort to such underhanded means to win the competition. Moreover, being exposed on the spot by Huangfu Ling was akin to vigorously rubbing the Ye family’s face into the ground.
Although Lian Mengzhu was not skilled in alchemy, having been married to Ye Hongxuan for many years, she had lived with medicinal herbs and spirit plants. Naturally, she recognized the fragrance as that of the Immortal Serene
Flower.
She looked at Ye Wanwan in her arms, her eyes carrying a hint of indescribable meaning.
Initially, she felt that Wanwan was unjustly accused and that Ye An’an was being aggressive. However, reality had slapped her in the face. From start to finish, it was Wanwan’s fault.
Recalling the words she had spoken to Ye An’an, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of shame.
Now that the truth was exposed, Ye Wanwan didn’t dare to meet her parents’ eyes. She gritted her teeth, her body went limp, and she collapsed.
“Wanwan!” Lian Mengzhu exclaimed.
Despite disagreeing with her daughter’s actions and feeling disappointed, she couldn’t help but be concerned seeing Ye Wanwan faint.
Ye Hongxuan was no exception.
He quickly approached, checking Ye Wanwan’s pulse. Then, he took out a bottle of pills from his storage ring, poured out two, and placed them directly into Ye Wanwan’s mouth.
Once he felt Ye Wanwan’s pulse return to normal, he signaled for a few people to escort her back.
Lian Mengzhu, still worried about Ye Wanwan, followed them back.
As for Ye Hongxuan, being the head of the Ye family, he couldn’t leave just yet since the matter was unresolved. Leaving prematurely would only fuel gossip.
No one objected to Ye Wanwan being sent away; the truth was clear, and the presence of Ye Hongxuan was enough to represent the Ye family.
Ye Lengan observed coldly. When Ye Wanwan was taken away, a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes.
She believed Ye Wanwan was feigning unconsciousness. However, given her injuries, even if she fainted, no one would suspect anything. Whether Ye Hongxuan saw through it or deliberately let Ye Wanwan leave first was uncertain.
If it was the latter, she couldn’t help but genuinely praise him as a good father!
“Master Ye, what are your plans now?” Huangfu Haochang was the first to step forward, addressing the situation directly. “The truth is already apparent. Don’t tell me you intend to continue shielding your daughter!”
No one was more suited than him to speak first, considering his eldest grandson was the one injured.
Ye Hongxuan composed himself, then clasped his fists and looked at Huangfu Ruiling, saying, “Master Huangfu, I apologize sincerely. I was too hasty just now, reprimanding without fully understanding the situation. I request your magnanimity, and I hope you won’t take it to heart.”
“It’s fine,” Huangfu Ruiling replied with a cold expression. “But, Master Ye, what is your perspective on today’s final competition?”
Embarrassed, Ye Hongxuan admitted, “I’m truly ashamed. It’s my failure to teach my daughter properly. According to the rules, Wanwan should be disqualified. Therefore, Huangfu Changmao of the Huangfu family wins this competition.”
Even though he was reluctant to admit it, the truth was undeniable. Additionally, due to Ye Wanwan’s actions, he had lost face. If he didn’t acknowledge Wanwan’s mistake first, it would only make matters worse.
After Ye Hongxuan spoke, the other family heads had no objections.
They didn’t want the Huangfu family to win this time, given their already formidable strength. The rewards from this victory would likely accelerate their growth, potentially placing them at the forefront of the top ten families.
Yet, faced with the undeniable truth, they couldn’t deny it.
Soon, the other family heads came forward, offering congratulations to Huangfu Ling.
However, Huangfu Ruiling had no time for these formalities. He left the square with Ye Lengan, leaving the elders to handle the aftermath.
With such an incident, Ye Hongxuan naturally wanted to leave promptly. After admitting the Huangfu family’s victory, he departed quickly. However, his retreating figure conveyed a sense of awkward retreat.
Murong Jingming watched Ye Hongxuan leave, his eyes revealing hesitation.
After the incident, he felt uncertain about the matter involving Ye Wanwan and Xingrui, pondering whether to proceed..
