Time passed swiftly, and Ye Lengan had spent quite a while in the Hidden World, with the imminent Family Competition approaching.
During this period, Ye Lengan enjoyed her time here as if on vacation. On regular days, Huangfu Ruiling accompanied her on various outings if he had the time. Otherwise, she explored the surroundings on her own. Occasionally, she joined Huangfu Ruiling in handling official matters and offered insightful suggestions. Many times, her suggestions left a profound impact.
In a short span, the elders of the Huangfu family fully accepted Ye Lengan. Apart from her innovative ideas, they were impressed by the occasional displays of her strength. Upon learning that she was also a high-level alchemist, they adapted well to the revelation.
The elders were ecstatic. While politeness was initially extended to Ye Lengan due to her being Huangfu Ruilings fiancée, witnessing her capabilities made them realize the family head’s discerning judgment in choosing a fiancée. They couldn’t compare.
Therefore, Ye Lengan’s status within the Huangfu family was steadily rising, now on par with Huangfu Ruiling.
One day, Huangfu Ruiling and the elders discussed the upcoming Family Competition. Uninterested, Ye Lengan chose not to participate and left the Huangfu family alone for some outdoor recreation.
While passing the martial arts field, she encountered Huangfu Ruixiang again. Unwilling to reveal her identity, she didn’t spare Huangfu Ruixiang a glance before departing.
Observing her departure, Huangfu Ruixiang felt an inexplicable familiarity, not just with Miss Ye but also with the family head. However, due to his status, encounters with them were rare.
A fellow female outer sect disciple couldn’t help asking when she noticed Huangfu Ruixiangs contemplative expression, “Ruixiang, what are you thinking?”
Her cheeks reddened as she spoke to Huangfu Ruixiang. She had harbored feelings for him since their first meeting. Despite being just an outer sect disciple, Huangfu Ruixiang stood out, resembling a refined scion of an aristocratic family. Furthermore, his surname, Huangfu, suggested a connection with the Huangfu family. She speculated that Huangfu Ruixiangs status as an outer sect disciple was temporary; he would likely advance to the inner sect in the future. Thus, she liked him and harbored her own aspirations.
Observing Huangfu Ruixiangs distraction after encountering Ye Lengan, she didn’t dwell on it. Everyone knew Ye Leng’an’s identity – she was the family head’s fiancée, beyond their reach.
“I’m fine.” Huangfu Ruixiang shook his head and turned to her. Softening his tone, he inquired, “l don’t know why, but 1 feel like I’ve seen the family head’s fiancée somewhere before. Right, Yating, do you know what kind of identity that Miss Ye has?”
Despite both being outer sect disciples, Huangfu Ruixiangs status in the Hidden World differed from Zhong Yatings background in a remote mountain village. He was an outer sect disciple of the Huangfu family, while Zhong Yating, without a fortuitous encounter, would never have become one. Moreover, being an outer sect disciple might be the pinnacle of Zhong Yating’s achievements in her lifetime.
Zhong Yating, infatuated with him, naturally noticed. However, despite enjoying Zhong Yatings tenderness, Huangfu Ruixiang had never contemplated developing any relationship with her. In his heart, Zhong Yating couldn’t compare to Li Yiran. At least Li Yiran’s face retained an ethereal allure, while Zhong Yating was, at most, a modest girl from a humble family..
