In comparison to Ye An’an, he leaned more towards Huangfu Lings side.
Because the recent competition was indeed a bit peculiar. Initially, Ye Wanwan was clearly at a disadvantage. However, within moments, she managed to reverse the situation. Moreover, Ye Wanwan was still injured, and her body had not fully recovered. No matter how one looked at it, it seemed unreasonable.
“Master Zhongyu, you are mistaken,” Master Murong chimed in. “Everyone witnessed this match. If Wanwan had truly used some tricks, how could we not have noticed?”
He doubted that Ye Wanwan’s subtle maneuvers could deceive them, seasoned individuals.
Furthermore, Ye Wanwan was the chosen future wife of his eldest son Murong Xingrui. In this situation, he naturally sided with the Ye family.
Other family heads also voiced their opinions, but there was no unanimity. Some believed in Huangfu Ruiling, while others trusted Ye Wanwan.
Ye Wanwan, currently being supported, felt a sense of anxiety. At this moment, she only wanted to leave quickly and dispose of the sachet she still carried. If this continued, she feared her actions might be exposed.
“Enough arguing.” Ye Leng’an rebuked them directly. Without saying anything more, she descended from the stage and approached Ye Wanwan. She reached out, seemingly intending to take something from her.
Seeing this, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu attacked Ye Lengan simultaneously. In their eyes, Ye Leng’an’s actions were an assault on their daughter.
As their attacks were about to land on Ye Leng’an, some of the more timid onlookers couldn’t help but exclaim.
However, what perplexed everyone was that Ye An’an was Huangfu Ling’s fiancée. Just earlier, Huangfu Ling spoke up for Ye An’an and even granted her the right to stand on equal footing with him. Yet, when Ye An’an was in danger, Huangfu Ling didn’t make a move, displaying no intention to intervene. Was Ye An’an truly unimportant to him?
Just as speculations arose, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu’s attacks reached Ye Leng’an.
Unexpectedly, Ye Lengan faced the two’s relentless attacks without any change in expression. She promptly mobilized her spiritual power, accepting and effortlessly countering their assaults. Then, she swung her hands, sending a wave of spiritual power at them, forcing their retreat.
Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu were repelled by Ye Lengan. Though unharmed, the shock in their hearts was undeniable.
Ye Lengan had casually displayed this skill, astonishing everyone present. None had anticipated that when facing the combined assault of Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu, Ye Lengan not only avoided harm but also had the strength to retaliate. What level of cultivation did she possess?
For a moment, all eyes were on Ye Lengan with shock and disbelief. It was inconceivable that such a young girl possessed such high cultivation. They couldn’t fathom her strength.
As expected, Huangfu Ling was no ordinary individual. Hence, the fiancée he chose couldn’t be an ordinary person.
While the Huangfu family elders appeared composed, turmoil stirred within them.
They had always known that Miss Ye had formidable cultivation. However, it was merely knowledge. Now, witnessing her cultivation matching the family head’s, how could they remain calm inwardly?
However, amidst their shock, there was also a sense of relief. With such a powerful patriarch and future matriarch, the Huangfu family would undoubtedly grow stronger.
“You…” Ye Hongxuan looked at Ye Leng’an with a complex expression. Evidently, he hadn’t anticipated her having such cultivation at a young age. For a moment, he couldn’t articulate his feelings.
Ye Lengan ignored Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu. She reached out, and before anyone could react, she pulled a sachet from Ye Wanwan’s body.
“Give it back to me.” Ye Wanwan, already severely injured, immediately reached out after seeing Ye Leng’an’s actions. Enduring the pain, she tried to snatch the sachet back.
Ye Leng’an wouldn’t allow her to snatch it. Just as Ye Wanwan reached out, she stepped back, dodging the attempt.
Ye Wanwan’s actions were too hasty, and she couldn’t stop her fall, landing on the ground. This worsened her already injured body.
“Wanwan!”
Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu hurried to Ye Wanwan’s side, helping her up.
“Ye Aryan, you…” Lian Mengzhu looked at Ye Lengan, her tone carrying resentment and faint blame.
Seeing Lian Mengzhu’s resentful and blaming gaze, Ye Lengan was momentarily stunned, then shook her head with a bitter smile..
