Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

As the engagement date of Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an approached, the anxious individuals were not limited to Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu alone; within the Huangfu family, another person was feeling the urgency, Huangfu Ruixiang.

As the date drew nearer, he hadn’t received any news about his parents intending to attend the ceremony in the Hidden World. This was the engagement of Huangfu Ruiling, how could his parents possibly be absent?

If, by any chance, Huangfu Ruiling decided not to have their parents present, it would signify that in his eyes, their parents held no significant position. This would inevitably broadcast a clear message to the entire Huangfu family, portraying his supposed younger brother as someone of little importance in Huangfu Ruiling’s mind.

Moreover, the change in attitude from the family members towards him during this period was noticeable. Initially, when they learned of his relation to Huangfu Ruiling, many sought to win his favor. Even in the absence of overt attempts at flattery, they treated him with respect and courtesy.

It wasn’t that these people were deliberately making things difficult for him. Rather, the way they treated him now resembled how one would treat an ordinary inner sect disciple, devoid of the previous attempts at ingratiating.

Such a transformation left him feeling uneasy.

Consequently, he decided to personally seek out Huangfu Ruiling to inquire about their parents. Simultaneously, he aimed to remind those who had distanced themselves that he was indeed the brother of Huangfu Ruiling.

To his surprise, he found himself unable to meet Huangfu Ruiling. The messengers relayed a message stating that as a low-level disciple, he had no qualification to meet the head of the family.

This only intensified his desire to meet Huangfu Ruiling, understanding that all his predicaments would likely find resolution upon doing so.

After exhausting all possible avenues, he finally intercepted Huangfu Ruiling one day as he prepared to leave.

Observing Huangfu Ruixiang blocking his path, Huangfu Ruiling gestured for the intended escort to step back. He then looked at Huangfu Ruixiang with a cold gaze, remaining silent.

Ye Leng’an, standing nearby, blinked curiously, wondering about Huangfu Ruixiang’s intentions.

Though Huangfu Ruixiang had much to say, the ice-cold stare from Huangfu Ruiling left him unable to articulate his thoughts.

“If you have nothing else, step aside.” Huangfu Ruiling’s frigid words lacked any hint of emotion. “We don’t have time to engage in a silent confrontation with you here.”

“I…” Huangfu Ruixiang struggled to suppress his inner turmoil. After taking a deep breath, he gathered his courage and said, “Big Brother, I just wanted to ask when Mom and Dad will be arriving. I was concerned that you might be too busy and forgot to notify them.”

After expressing himself, he swallowed nervously, allowing himself to retreat under the intense pressure emanating from Huangfu Ruiling.

“Why would they come?” Huangfu Ruiling furrowed his brows. “There’s no need for them to attend. We’ll have an engagement ceremony in the mortal world, and they can attend that.”

He had never considered inviting Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying to participate in the Hidden World engagement ceremony. He held no affection for his so-called parents, and he saw no necessity for their presence at such an event.

“What?” Huangfu Ruixiang was taken aback. Anxiously, he questioned, “Brother, it’s such an important occasion, and you won’t even let Mom and Dad come. Isn’t that inappropriate?”

“They aren’t the main characters; does it matter if they come or not?” Huangfu Ruiling responded indifferently. “Besides, whether they come or not won’t impact our engagement ceremony.”

“But, this…” Huangfu Ruixiang was growing more anxious but couldn’t find the right words. Turning to Ye Leng’an, he appealed, “Sister-in-law, won’t you persuade my brother? In such a situation, don’t you care about the blessings from our parents?”

Ye Leng’an looked at Huangfu Ruixiang with a puzzled expression. “Are you sure they’ll come to bless us? Weren’t they vehemently opposed to us being together initially?”

Huangfu Ruixiang couldn’t argue with Ye Leng’an’s words, especially considering he had been one of the individuals aiding in their separation.

“If you’re here just for this matter, now we’ve heard it.” Huangfu Ruiling glanced at Huangfu Ruixiang. “We have other matters to attend to. Please move aside.”

Confronted with Huangfu Ruiling’s nearly emotionless eyes, Huangfu Ruixiang shivered involuntarily. Unable to utter a word, he slowly stepped aside.

“If you have time, focus on cultivating properly!”

Before leaving, Huangfu Ruiling reminded him, “Don’t think that becoming an inner sect disciple guarantees a carefree life. The Huangfu family conducts assessments periodically. If you can’t pass, you won’t be able to retain your position as an inner sect disciple.”

Huangfu Ruixiang could hardly believe his ears. Stammering, he asked, “Brother, do you mean that if I fail the assessment, I’ll also be expelled?”

He had never anticipated such a reality. Initially, he believed that becoming an inner sect disciple meant a permanent place within the Huangfu family. Now, he was being informed of the possibility of expulsion. How was this conceivable? He was Huangfu Ruiling’s biological brother!

“That’s correct.” Huangfu Ruiling nodded. “This is common knowledge among all inner sect disciples. Someone should have informed you on the first day you arrived.”

“But…but…” Huangfu Ruixiang didn’t know what else to say. He could only emphasize, “I’m not someone else! I’m your biological brother!”

“So you became an inner sect disciple!” Huangfu Ruiling frowned and continued, “Do you think you could become an inner sect disciple based on your own strength?”

Huangfu Ruixiang was rendered speechless. He couldn’t argue because it was the truth.

“If you weren’t my brother, you wouldn’t even have the opportunity to enter the Huangfu family.” Huangfu Ruiling continued mercilessly, “I’ve given you a chance. Whether you can establish yourself within the Huangfu family is entirely up to your ability. Even if you’re my brother, you must adhere to the family’s rules.”
