Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ye Yikun’s birthday was fast approaching. Representing the Huangfu family were Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an.

Several elders in the family were quite surprised by Huangfu Ruiling’s decision. They hadn’t expected the family head to choose to attend Ye Yikun’s birthday celebration.

Typically, the family head avoided such occasions. Normally, the duty fell to the Grand Elder or other elders. Besides, the relationship between the Huangfu and Ye families wasn’t exactly amicable. It was unexpected for the family head to rush back with his future wife, Miss Ye, just to attend.

Despite the many questions, Huangfu Ruiling’s authority silenced any objections.

With their invitations in hand, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an arrived at the Ye residence.

Seeing them, the butler immediately left his post at the door and hurried inside.

Though the butler was unsure of Ye Leng’an’s relationship with the Ye family, Huangfu Ruiling’s status was undeniable. His presence debunked rumors of discord between the two families. Naturally, the butler should inform the old master and the current family head immediately to prevent any potential mishaps. Otherwise, he would truly bear the blame if anything were to go wrong.

Meanwhile, Ye Yikun was in the main hall. Despite being over five hundred years old, he still appeared remarkably energetic. This was likely attributed to his profound cultivation level.

He was dressed in a dark red robe, exuding vitality and a dignified demeanor, yet there was still a hint of a gentle smile on his face. This softened his overall appearance, making him seem less stern.

The main hall buzzed with activity as guests gathered. Yet, the focus remained on Ye Yikun’s sons and grandchildren, especially Murong Xingrui, who, despite being unrelated, stood by Ye Wanwan like a devoted guardian.

This garnered envy towards Ye Wanwan from many present.

Murong Xingrui was not just a member of the Murong family’s direct line; he was also the favored heir of the current Murong family. This meant that in the future, Murong Xingrui would be the head of the Murong family, and thus, Ye Wanwan would become the matriarch of the Murong family.

Many women present couldn’t help but envy and begrudge Ye Wanwan. Although this was the Hidden World where strength reigned supreme, as a woman, the best path forward was to marry a good husband.

Murong Xingrui not only had a bright future ahead of him, but he was also boldly by Ye Wanwan’s side now, showing just how much he valued her.

With such an outstanding future son-in-law, it was no wonder Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu were beaming with joy!

Despite the calm in the main hall, the butler’s arrival disrupted the peace.

Ye Yikun’s frown didn’t escape notice as the butler rushed over with important news.

“Master Huangfu and his fiancée are here, waiting outside,” the butler reported.

The imminent arrival demanded immediate attention, despite any inconvenience it caused.

“Leng’an is here,” said Lian Mengzhu, pleasantly surprised. “Where is she? I’ll go meet her.”

Previously, she and her husband had personally gone to find Ye Leng’an. Unfortunately, the latter didn’t budge at all. Because of this, she was still very saddened.

Unexpectedly, there was a silver lining. Ye Leng’an, who she had thought wouldn’t come, actually came on her father’s birthday. Did this imply that, in Ye Leng’an’s heart, there wasn’t as much resistance as it seemed on the surface? If that was really the case, could she also hope that Ye Leng’an would return to the Ye family one day?

Just thinking about these things, her heart couldn’t help but blaze with excitement.

Ye Hongxuan’s quiet joy was evident, as was Ye Yikun’s mixed feelings.

“Since they’re here, Hongxuan, go welcome them. Since he is the patriarch of the Huangfu family, we must maintain decorum.”

Despite Ye Leng’an’s earlier reluctance, her presence, along with Huangfu Ruiling’s, was a welcome development.

Indeed, Ye Leng’an’s return could mean a union between the Ye and Huangfu families, bolstering the Ye family’s fortunes.

With Ye Yikun’s approval, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu wasted no time in greeting their guests, leaving Ye Wanwan behind.

As her adoptive parents hurried away, Ye Wanwan couldn’t help but feel a pang of uncertainty.

Although her parents continued to treat her with the same affection as always, and she remained in the Ye family, enjoying all the resources it offered, even advancing her cultivation with her grandfather’s assistance, she couldn’t shake the deep-seated understanding within her. Everything had changed. Without the backing of blood ties, she felt that her world was built on shaky ground.
