Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan appeared, everyone involuntarily directed their gaze toward them. Both wore identical masks, and their casual outfits seemed coordinated, unmistakably suggesting they were a couple. What struck everyone even more was the extraordinary aura emanating from both.
Speculations arose about when the Hidden World had gained two such exceptional individuals.
However, the most astonishing part was the position the hotel staff led them to. It was well-known that proximity to the auction stage indicated higher status. The first row was reserved for prominent families. Astonishingly, the hotel staff guided them to the Huangfu family’s designated area. Without hesitation, they took their seats.
In an instant, when everyone looked at Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan, a trace of wariness and restlessness filled their expressions. Wary because the other party belonged to the Huangfu family – a force not easily offended. Restless because armed with an invitation, it was evident they held a significant position in the Huangfu family, sparking a desire to make connections.
People speculated about the roles Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan played in the Huangfu family. Achieving such prominence at a young age indicated formidable strength.
At this moment, Ye Wanwan, accompanied by Ye Hongxuan, entered the venue. She clung to Ye Hongxuan’s hand, playfully chatting and laughing. Yet, there was no room for misunderstanding their relationship. The Ye family, as the Hidden World’s foremost alchemist clan, made Ye Hongxuan and Ye Wanwan familiar figures.
Inside the venue, Ye Hongxuan greeted acquaintances, introducing his cherished daughter to others.
Guided by hotel staff, Ye Hongxuan and Ye Wanwan reached the first row. The Ye family’s reputation as a renowned alchemist clan granted them a prominent seat in the Hidden World. In such gatherings, the first row was rightfully theirs.
Ye Wanwan spotted Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan at a glance. Her pupils contracted, freezing her in place. Particularly when she saw Ye Lengan, memories of her merciless assault on Ye Min’er flooded back.
Ye Hongxuan quickly sensed something amiss with Ye Wanwan. He reached out, patting her shoulder, and asked with concern, “Wanwan, are you alright?”
“Father, it’s them.” Ye Wanwan clutched Ye Hongxuan’s sleeve, her gaze fixed on Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan. “They were the ones who injured Min’er today.”
Upon hearing Ye Wanwan’s words, Ye Hongxuan couldn’t help but frown. He looked over, and when he saw the two masked figures, his expression changed. “It’s him.”
“Father, do you know them?” Ye Wanwan immediately asked upon hearing Ye Hongxuan’s words. “Who exactly are they?”
“Wanwan, come with me to say hello!” Ye Hongxuan looked at Ye Wanwan with a strange expression. “Apologize to them while you’re at it!”
“Apologize?” Ye Wanwan widened her eyes as if she found the suggestion unbelievable. “Father, do you know what you’re saying? What happened today was clearly their fault. Why do I have to apologize?”
Ye Hongxuan fixed Ye Wanwan with a stern look. “Wanwan, did you really tell me the truth about what happened today?”
Hearing her father’s questioning tone, guilt flickered in Ye Wanwan’s eyes.
Nevertheless, she raised her voice, seemingly attempting to assert herself.
“Father, what are you talking about? Am 1 such a person in your heart?”
“Wanwan, I won’t say that for no reason,” Ye Hongxuan responded, maintaining his gaze on Ye Wanwan. “Do you know that person’s identity? He showed mercy today. If they’re truly angered, your life may be at risk.”
More importantly, even if they did harm Ye Wanwan, seeking justice for her wouldn’t be straightforward. Moreover, the other members of the Ye family might not support him..
