Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

It seemed like an eternity before Ye Yikun finally spoke, “Don’t mention anything to anyone for now. And as for your second brother and the others, tell them to keep quiet too. As for Wanwan, once she wakes up, have her come over to my place.”

Ye Yikun’s tone remained calm, giving no hint of his thoughts at the moment. However, this only added to the unease in the air.

“Father, what about the Murong family?” After some consideration, Ye Hongxuan asked, “Murong Xingrui was present throughout tonight’s events. He must be suspicious by now. We might not be able to keep this from the Murong family any longer.”

“We’ll leave the Murong family aside for now.” A glint flickered in Ye Yikun’s eyes. “Even if they come to know about Wanwan’s background and consider calling off the engagement, it won’t happen that quickly. They also have their pride. Ending the engagement over such a reason would only make them a laughing stock.”

Hence, as long as Wanwan had the means, there was still a chance to win back Murong Xingrui.

Ye Hongxuan didn’t add anything further.

After giving his instructions to Ye Hongxuan, Ye Yikun waved him off.

Once out of Ye Yikun’s courtyard, Ye Hongxuan breathed a sigh of relief. He had been on edge while facing his father. Now, the tension dissipated, leaving him feeling almost drained.

Yet, despite leaving his father’s presence, his mind was fraught with doubts. Even before reporting to his father, he had anticipated his anger. He had even prepared himself to plead. Though he had voiced his discontent with Wanwan in front of Lian Mengzhu, she was still his child. He couldn’t help but feel concerned. Hence, he had decided to persuade his father to let Wanwan rest for a while, even if it meant facing his father’s wrath.

But he hadn’t anticipated his father’s surprisingly patient response upon learning of tonight’s events. Though he couldn’t fathom the reason, it brought him relief.

Still, it didn’t alleviate his worries. With so many attendees at the banquet, news of the incident would surely spread. From tomorrow onwards, he’d have to strategize to minimize the fallout.

On the other side, the day after the banquet, news of the incident quickly circulated within the Hidden World. Speculations about the relationship between Ye Leng’an and the Ye family were rife.

The Ye family remained silent, offering no statements or clarifications.

As for Ye Leng’an, she remained uncharacteristically quiet, preoccupied with her own affairs.

Huangfu Ruiling stayed back at the Huangfu family to attend to urgent matters. Meanwhile, Ye Leng’an visited the herb store to scout for new spiritual herbs.

Unfortunately, rare spiritual herbs were hard to come by, and she returned empty-handed.

Although she didn’t find any rare herbs, she stocked up on medicinal herbs. With the winter break underway, she often spent her time refining pills in the alchemy room, depleting her stocks quickly. Hence, this trip was an opportunity to replenish her supplies.

Satisfied with her purchases, she relaxed. All her herbs were safely stored in her storage ring.

With her shopping done, she wandered the streets, feeling somewhat bored. Eventually, she decided to head home. She planned to stay at the Huangfu family for the next few days to continue her alchemy practice.

During the New Year period, she hadn’t devoted much time to alchemy. Now, with some days in the Hidden World, she could restock her inventory.

As she quickened her pace, she rounded a street corner, only to almost collide with someone.

Swiftly evading, she watched the other person tumble to the ground.

Upon closer inspection, she recognized the other – it was an acquaintance!

“Miss Zhongyu, what a coincidence!” she remarked as she helped Zhongyu Lingshan up. An enigmatic glint shimmered in her eyes. “But who would’ve thought we’d meet again under these circumstances!”

Her gaze flickered to Zhongyu Lingshan’s injured hand.

Perhaps due to the fall, Zhongyu Lingshan seemed unsteady as she stood, her hand bearing bruises. Despite her discomfort, she maintained a smile.

“Miss Ye, it’s you!” Zhongyu Lingshan’s eyes betrayed a hint of reluctance, but she greeted Ye Leng’an politely. “I apologize for almost colliding with you earlier. Are you alright?”

It was unfortunate. Zhongyu Lingshan had spotted Ye Leng’an from a distance earlier. Having returned to the Hidden World just last night, she hadn’t attended the banquet. Consequently, she was unaware of the events that had unfolded. Her intention in confronting Ye Leng’an today was to create a chance encounter, feigning an accident to injure her slightly. Then, she planned to apologize and escort Ye Leng’an back to the Huangfu family, seizing the opportunity to meet Huangfu Ruiling.

Yet, she hadn’t expected Ye Leng’an to react so swiftly, turning the tables and becoming the injured party herself.

“Miss Zhongyu’s vision seems rather poor!” Ye Leng’an quipped with a smirk. “Such a wide road, yet you failed to notice someone as big as me. As a cultivator, your reflexes seem lacking!”

Despite her resentment at Ye Leng’an’s taunts, Zhongyu Lingshan gritted her teeth, unable to retort. “It was my mistake, Miss Ye. I apologize to you once again. I hope you won’t hold it against me.”
