“Father, what kind of person is he?” Ye Wanwan couldn’t help but ask. “He’s so young. Is his cultivation very high?”
“Don’t be misled by his age,” Ye Hongxuan cautioned, a hint of fear crossing his eyes. “l can’t discern his true cultivation. There are only two possibilities. Either his cultivation surpasses mine, or he has no cultivation at all. Which one do you think it is?”
“Is his cultivation higher than yours?” Ye Wanwan was astonished. “But, Father, you’re already in the late stage of the Golden Core Realm. If he surpasses you, does it mean his cultivation is higher, or is it grandfather’s cultivation?”
Her grandfather, the previous head of the Ye family, had reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. Just one step away from the late stage, this level of cultivation was considered quite high in the Hidden World, with only a few individuals achieving the Nascent Soul Realm.
“I’m not certain.” Ye Hongxuan shook his head. He then cautioned, “However, Wanwan, Huangfu Ling is not someone to underestimate. Becoming the patriarch of the Huangfu family at such a young age indicates he’s no ordinary person. Moreover, when he assumed leadership, he conducted a ruthless purge in the Huangfu family, stabilizing it. Crossing paths with such a ruthless individual won’t end well.’
Ye Wanwan nodded repeatedly. “Father, I understand. I’ll be cautious in the future.’
Reflecting on today’s events, she still felt a lingering unease. If Huangfu Ling had attacked her due to her provocation, she might not be sitting unharmed now. However, the woman named Ye An’an, Huangfu Lings fiancée, seemed formidable, injuring Ye Min’er today.
But the names of these two individuals…
“What’s bothering you?” Ye Hongxuan couldn’t help but ask when he noticed Ye Wanwan’s furrowed brows, suggesting something was perplexing her. “If there’s something on your mind, just speak up. Maybe I can help clear things up for you.”
“It’s nothing. I just find it a bit strange.” Ye Wanwan didn’t hold back, expressing her doubt. “Father, when Master Huangfu introduced his fiancée earlier, did he say her name is Ye Anan?”
“Yes, he did,” Ye Hongxuan confirmed. “Why do you ask? Do you know her?”
That seemed unlikely! The Ye family didn’t have anyone named Ye An’an. Moreover, if they were acquainted, why would there be a conflict today?
“Father, did I ever mention that the woman Huangfu Ruiling likes is named Ye Lengan?” Ye Wanwan’s mood soured as she recalled this. “Huangfu Lings name sounds similar. Is it just a coincidence?”
“It’s probably just a coincidence,” Ye Hongxuan replied promptly. “Don’t overthink it. And, don’t think about Huangfu Ruiling anymore. You can like anyone, just not him.”
Since they were on the topic, he had to caution his daughter again. Huangfu Ruiling wasn’t a suitable match for her. The Hidden World was filled with eligible bachelors; there was no need to fixate on someone like Huangfu Ruiling who didn’t reciprocate her feelings.
“Father, it’s all because of Ye Lengan. Otherwise, Huangfu Ruiling wouldn’t treat me this way,” Ye Wanwan complained. “But don’t worry, I’ve given up on Huangfu Ruiling. However, I still don’t want to let them off easily.”
Compared to Huangfu Ruiling, she harbored more resentment toward Ye Lengan. In her view, if Ye Lengan hadn’t interfered, Huangfu Ruiling wouldn’t have treated her this way.
Moreover, the crucial point was that from the moment she first saw Ye Lengan, she disliked her. For some reason, the initial familiarity was devoid of any joy, replaced by a sense of impending crisis, as if Ye Lengan would take away many things from her.
Reality seemed to confirm this suspicion – it was Ye Leng’an’s presence that led to Huangfu Ruiling rejecting her.. Perhaps, she and Ye Lengan were destined adversaries!
