Upon hearing such a clear directive to leave, Ye Wanwan’s expression soured. She chose to disregard Ye Lengan and turned her attention to Huangfu Ruiling.
“Ruiling,” she began, “The Ye and Huangfu families have always had a good relationship. Yet, your girlfriend boasts so shamelessly. Is she trying to sabotage our families’ relationship?”
Huangfu Ruiling furrowed his brows and cautioned, “Don’t use my name so casually. Miss Ye Wanwan, are you implying that you can represent the Ye family?”
Faced with Huangfu Ruilings direct question, Ye Wanwan hesitated in response. Although her father was the current family head and she held a significant position in the family, she couldn’t fully represent the Ye family.
Huangfu Ruilings statement felt like a stinging slap to her face.
“Ruiling.” Ye Wanwan attempted to salvage the conversation. “With the Family Competition about to start, can’t we sit dovvn and discuss the matter?”
While speaking, she shot a challenging look at Ye Leng’an. The young woman from the mortal world couldn’t comprehend the gravity of the situation. Even if she did understand, she had no way to participate. This exemplified the stark contrast between Ye Wanwan and Ye Lengan. Their starting points were worlds apart.
Huangfu Ruiling raised his head, his gaze cool, as he remarked, ‘Given that this is a family competition, the Ye and Huangfu families are now in opposition. Do you genuinely believe there’s anything left to discuss between us as adversaries?”
This response left Ye Wanwan’s face flushed with anger.
Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but cover her mouth, stifling a laugh. Though she tried to conceal it, the office was small, and few individuals were present, making her restrained laughter conspicuously audible.
Ye Wanwan’s countenance had already deteriorated, and upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s subdued laughter, it only grew worse. She shot Ye Lengan a gaze filled with murderous intent.
“Hey, don’t look at me like that.” Ye Lengan quipped in response to the look, showing no fear. In fact, she found it amusing. didn’t make that statement; I just laughed. I didn’t offend you. You can’t possibly think I’m an easy target to tease, can you?”
“Are you mocking me?” Ye Wanwan retorted through gritted teeth, her anger intensifying. As the Ye family’s daughter, her willingness to marry Huangfu Ruiling was an act of courtesy. However, now that she had come in person, she was met with such treatment. Even a young woman from the mortal world dared to ridicule her.
This thought kindled Ye Wanwan’s anger, and without any warning, she extended her hand. A ball of flames flew towards Ye Lengan. As an alchemist, she possessed excellent control over fire. The flame on her body had been discovered by her father in a secret land within the Hidden World.
With her father’s assistance, she had managed to harness this spiritual fire. It had since fused with her, allowing her to manipulate it as she wished. The existence of this spiritual fire had facilitated her significant advancements in alchemy.
However, she didn’t intend to harm Ye Lengan. She simply aimed to teach her a lesson. After all, the rules of the Hidden World were clear, and she didn’t want to incur the wrath of the law enforcement team over a girl like Ye Lengan.
Huangfu Ruiling refrained from intervening, as he knew that this small flame posed no real threat to Ye Leng’an. However, when he looked at Ye Wanwan, his gaze radiated a chilling intensity.
Witnessing Huangfu Ruiling’s inaction, Ye Wanwan felt a surge of relief. In her view, it seemed that Huangfu Ruiling didn’t hold Ye Lengan in particularly high regard. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have remained passive in the face of Ye I ,eng’an’s nredicament..
