However, whether to retain Huangfu Ruixiang rested solely in Huangfu Ruilings hands. If Huangfu Ruiling decided to let Huangfu Ruixiang stay, even with Huangfu Ruixiangs ordinary talent, he could remain.
“Let him stay!” Huangfu Ruiling responded calmly. “It’s also giving him a chance. However, I can only offer him an opportunity to stay. As for the future, I won’t be involved anymore.”
He was willing to extend this chance based on their blood relation. However, this familial tie only went so far. Beyond that, he had no concern.
Ye Leng’an wasn’t surprised by Huangfu Ruilings decision. She sighed and commented, “Then Li Yiran doesn’t know what to do. She’s still pregnant! It won’t be so easy to reunite with the child’s father in the future.”
Though she expressed this, there was no trace of pity on her face. Instead, it bore a hint of coldness.
“No.” Huangfu Ruiling shook his head. “Considering Huangfu Ruixiang’s talent, although he can stay, he’ll likely return within a year and a half. He can’t stay in the Hidden World indefinitely.”
Ye Leng’an understood and nodded.
As they conversed, a hesitant voice interrupted them.
“Miss Ye, is that you?”
Both turned towards the voice and recognized an acquaintance approaching Nangong Xuyao. Without exchanging words, the two observed him.
Nangong Xuyao hesitated but proceeded towards them. Unaware of Huangfu Ruiling, he only recognized Ye Lengan as the woman he had seen at the herbal store, identified solely by her surname, Ye.
Ye Lengan raised an eyebrow, expressing doubt. “You are…”
“Miss Ye, you may have forgotten, but we met at the herbal store. I was with Zhongyu Jiarui,” Nangong Xuyao explained, aware that she likely didn’t recall him.
Upon hearing Nangong Xuyao’s words, Ye Lengan appeared to have an epiphany. “Oh, it’s you! What brings you here? Don’t tell me it’s to seek revenge for Zhongyu Jiarui! ”
She doubted that Nangong Xuyao had identified her true identity. As Huangfu Ruiling suggested, even if someone recognized them, confirmation was impossible. As long as they denied it, no one would bother about their true identities.
Huangfu Ruiling regarded Nangong Xuyao with a cold gaze.
Nangong Xuyao initially looked curiously at Huangfu Ruiling, but sensing the coldness in his eyes, he shivered and averted his gaze.
“No,” Nangong Xuyao hastened to explain, “I’m not here for that. 1 just have something to ask Miss Ye.”
He had wanted to inquire with Miss Ye before but refrained due to her previous conflict with Zhongyu Jiarui. He couldn’t abandon Zhongyu Jiarui to pursue Miss Ye, risking the loss of his previous efforts.
Considering approaching the Huangfu family, he hesitated, uncertain of Miss Ye’s status within the family. Brashly seeking her out might result in being barred from entry.
Originally, he had already planned to give up. However, unexpectedly, today, when he went out for a meal and ran into her. So, he was determined to seize the opportunity to inquire about the things he wanted to know.
“Oh, what is it?” Ye Lengan propped her chin on her hand, looking at Nangong Xuyao. “If I remember correctly, we’ve only met once. We haven’t even spoken before!”
She doubted that Nangong Xuyao recognized her. If he truly did, he would also recognize Huangfu Ruiling. If that were the case, Nangong Xuyao wouldn’t be so composed.
“Miss Ye, I’d like to inquire about the Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill,”
Nangong Xuyao asked straightforwardly.. “Have you ever used the Nine-Cycle
Soul-Returning Pill to save anyone?”
