“You insolent…” Ye Yikun was so infuriated that he could barely articulate his words. “Ye Leng’an, you wretch! Let me make it clear; you’ll never gain the acknowledgment of the Ye family in your entire life.”
“Father, Leng’an is just…” Ye Hongxuan began, but he was promptly cut off by Ye Yikun.
“Ye Hongxuan, Lian Mengzhu, let me solemnly tell you both that Ye Leng’an will never step through the doors of the Ye family,” declared Ye Yikun with an icy demeanor. “Your daughter is Ye Wanwan. Remember that.”
Since the details of Ye Leng’an’s actions were known only to those present, outsiders remained oblivious. Despite Ye Wanwan’s current disabled state, being in the Ye family with its alchemists and precious elixirs offered a high chance of her eventual recovery.
Moreover, Ye Wanwan had been raised and educated by the Ye family since childhood and was now engaged to Murong Xingrui. Unlike the arrogant Ye Leng’an, she was better suited to be the Ye family’s young lady.
Unnoticed by others, the unconscious Ye Wanwan displayed a subtle smile after Ye Yikun’s words.
Despite their dissatisfaction with Ye Leng’an’s recent behavior, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu found it too cruel not to acknowledge her as their daughter. Therefore, they intended to intercede.
However, before they could voice their plea, Ye Yikun’s subsequent words left them speechless.
“If you can’t bear to part with your daughter, then leave the Ye family with her.” Ye Yikun’s voice was frigid, almost freezing. “Choose for yourselves. Stay in the Ye family or depart.”
There was no need for contemplation; Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu would never abandon the Ye family. Their decision was unequivocal.
The two cast guilty glances at Ye Leng’an, internally justifying that their choice wasn’t driven by a desire for the Ye family’s power. Instead, leaving would subject their family to the disdain of others. Moreover, having been the Ye family’s leaders for years, they had made enemies. Leaving the Ye family meant being unable to protect their daughter.
Staying in the Ye family remained the best option for them. They could still assist Ye Leng’an discreetly.
Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu’s decision was within Ye Yikun’s expectations. Looking at Ye Leng’an, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. “Huangfu Ruiling, Ye Leng’an, today you’ve harmed someone in the Ye family. Don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Seeing Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu’s evasive reactions, Ye Leng’an felt no sadness. She smiled and said, “Wonder how Old Master Ye plans to be impolite? Didn’t you already make a move just now? Or was that attack a mere joke?”
Ye Yikun’s expression grew uglier with each sarcastic remark. Coupled with his injuries, he was on the verge of collapse.
“Very well, very well.” Ye Yikun laughed in anger. Gazing at Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an, malice flickered in his eyes. “I’ll inquire with the Huangfu family. Let’s see if they want to be enemies with us, the Ye family.”
“So what if we’re enemies?” Huangfu Ruiling directly confronted Ye Yikun. “Our Huangfu family isn’t afraid to be at odds with the Ye family. Furthermore, Old Master Ye, don’t forget you initiated the attack.”
“Huangfu Ruiling, what qualifications do you have to speak here?” Ye Yikun laughed heartily, as though he had heard the funniest joke. “Can you represent the Huangfu family? You’re just a Huangfu family disciple. Do you have the right to challenge me?”
“I can represent the Huangfu family.” Huangfu Ruiling’s tone remained cold, his gaze unwavering. However, his words made everyone’s eyebrows twitch. “If the Ye family truly wants to declare war on our Huangfu family, then I will represent the Huangfu family in the fight.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Yikun, Ye Hongxuan, and Lian Zixin couldn’t help but look at Huangfu Ruiling, their eyes reflecting uncertainty as if pondering something.
“Huangfu Ruiling, Huangfu Ruiling!” Ye Yikun mumbled softly. Suddenly, a spark illuminated his mind. He raised his head and looked at Huangfu Ruiling, and his eyes revealed astonishment. “You’re Huangfu Ling!”
Initially a mere conjecture, Ye Yikun was shocked by his own words after uttering them.
Seeing that Huangfu Ruiling, standing across from him, offered no denial, his widened eyes betrayed disbelief.
Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu, too, stared at Huangfu Ruiling in shock.
Until now, it seemed that only members of the Huangfu family had seen Huangfu Ling’s true face. Moreover, Huangfu Ruiling’s formidable cultivation surpassed even the Huangfu family’s Grand Elder. Such a person couldn’t be insignificant in the Huangfu family.
Combined with the resemblance in names between Huangfu Ruiling and Huangfu Ling, it strongly suggested they were the same person.
In the past, Huangfu Ruiling had always been in a wheelchair, and no one had considered such a possibility.
But now, Huangfu Ruiling stood up. Perhaps it was more accurate to say he had never sat in a wheelchair; it had all been a ruse.
“Old Master Ye, Ye Leng’an is my fiancée.” Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Yikun and continued, “She will also be the future matriarch of the Huangfu family, so she doesn’t care about being the young lady of your Ye family. You don’t have to worry about this.”
Still reeling from shock, Ye Yikun felt the urge to vomit blood upon hearing Huangfu Ruiling’s words.
“Old Master Ye, the matter has been resolved.” Ye Leng’an glanced at Ye Wanwan, who had “fainted” on the ground. Her lips curled into a mocking smile. “Ye Wanwan wanted to destroy my talent and cultivation. I’m just giving her a taste of her own medicine. You don’t have to feel too wronged. Also, I’m at the Huangfu family’s place. If you want to avenge Ye Wanwan, I’ll be there anytime. However, let me make it clear in advance that I won’t show mercy to you because of that little bit of blood relationship. After all, I can be a very vicious woman.”
