Ye Leng’an, unaware of the events unfolding at the banquet, exited the restroom only to find someone waiting by the sink, unmistakably aiming for her attention. It was none other than Ye Wanwan. From the moment Ye Wanwan laid eyes on her, her gaze remained fixed, leaving no doubt that she was being targeted.

With such blatant behavior, even if she claimed the contrary, no one would believe it!

Yet, Ye Wanwan said nothing. She simply stared at Ye Leng’an.

Although Ye Leng’an couldn’t decipher Ye Wanwan’s intentions, since the latter remained silent, she treated her as if she were invisible. After washing her hands, she turned to leave the restroom.

“Ye Leng’an!”

As she turned, Ye Leng’an heard Ye Wanwan’s voice, dripping with animosity.

Turning back, Ye Leng’an’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Miss Ye, what brings you to me? You don’t intend to strike up a friendly conversation with me in the restroom, do you?”

The expression on Ye Leng’an’s face ignited a blaze of anger within Ye Wanwan. Her features contorted with fury. “Ye Leng’an, you’re quite arrogant, aren’t you?”

In that moment, she detested Ye Leng’an to the core. If given the chance, she would have loved nothing more than to eliminate this loathsome woman standing before her. In her heart, she continually lamented. Why did Lian Zixin send Ye Leng’an to the mortal world back then? Wouldn’t it have been better to just eradicate her? She wouldn’t have had to deal with so many future troubles.

“Does Miss Ye doubt my arrogance?” Ye Leng’an lazily brushed her sideburns, a smirk playing on her lips. “But Miss Ye’s life doesn’t seem to be going smoothly! How ironic! After all, you’re now the sole young lady of the Ye family!”

Her words dripped with sarcasm, constantly reminding Ye Wanwan of her usurped status.

“Ye Leng’an, don’t get too cocky.” Ye Wanwan gritted her teeth, glaring at her. “Don’t think you’ve triumphed just because Father and Mother are paying more attention to you. I’m the one who’s been by their side, and I’m the one who remains in the Ye family. Ye Leng’an, you’ll never have the chance to return to the Ye family.”

A pensive glint flickered in Ye Leng’an’s eyes as she glanced at the night sky. It appeared that despite the Ye family’s proclamation, severing all ties, and Ye Wanwan’s elevation as the sole young lad Ye Wanwan’s days weren’t as rosy as she might have hoped.

Initially, Ye Wanwan had been overjoyed. With the Ye family cutting off all connections with Ye Leng’an, and her being barred from ever returning, she had become the sole heiress of the Ye family. She no longer had to worry about her status being threatened by Ye Leng’an’s return.

Yet, as time passed, she realized that precisely because Ye Leng’an could never return, her parents felt even more remorseful towards her.

Often, she noticed her mother’s gaze lacking its usual warmth, replaced by a mixture of complex emotions. Though her father remained silent, it was evident that this matter weighed heavily on him.

This dampened Ye Wanwan’s initial excitement. She grew to resent Ye Leng’an even more.

“Miss Ye, don’t assume everyone desires to live in a family like yours!” Ye Leng’an sneered. “And how can you be sure I want to return to the Ye family? If I truly wished to return, none of this would have occurred. It’s best to know your place, Miss Ye. Like you, it’s best to recognize your true identity. Don’t try to provoke me. I wonder if the Murong family is aware of this! Tell me, if they discover you’re not the biological daughter of the Ye family but Lian Zixin’s daughter, will your marriage still hold?”

At the mention of her marriage, Ye Wanwan’s pupils constricted. Fear flashed in her eyes, though she concealed it well. Meeting Ye Leng’an’s gaze, she brimmed with vigilance. “Ye Leng’an, what are you planning? Let me remind you, if you sabotage the marriage between the Ye and Murong families, Grandfather won’t let you off.”

Deep down, she knew her grandfather had chosen her not only because he despised Ye Leng’an but also because of her marriage to Murong Xingrui.

Currently, her greatest asset was her union with the Murong family. If anything went wrong with this marriage, she couldn’t guarantee her position as the Ye family’s young lady would remain secure.

“Hehe, do you think I’m afraid of that?” Ye Leng’an chuckled as if amused. “If I were truly fearful, I wouldn’t have crippled your cultivation. So, don’t provoke me, Miss Ye. Otherwise, your marriage will crumble, or you’ll experience the agony of having your cultivation destroyed once more. And that won’t bode well.”

At the mention of her past ordeal, pain and fear flashed across Ye Wanwan’s eyes. The torment she endured when her dantian was shattered remained etched in her memory, a constant reminder of her vulnerability.

Ignoring Ye Wanwan, Ye Leng’an turned to leave the restroom. Yet, before she could take two steps, she sensed a surge of spiritual energy behind her. Swiveling around, she discovered Ye Wanwan had summoned a stream of spiritual power.

However, to her surprise, Ye Wanwan wasn’t targeting her. Instead, after condensing her spiritual energy, she directed it at herself.
