“Huangfu family?” Zhong Lingwan exclaimed with surprise upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s words. “Are you a member of the Huangfu family, Miss?”
No wonder the ease with which she produced a Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning
Pill. The depth of the Huangfu familys resources was absolutely astonishing. Especially under the current leadership, the Huangfu family’s progress had been remarkable, possibly surpassing other families to become the leading force.
“l suppose so.” Ye Lengan nodded. “You can deliver the items to the Huangfu family. As for this spiritual plant, I’ll take it with me.”
Now aware of Ye Lengan’s identity, Zhong Lingwan’s tone became even more respectful. “Certainly, Miss Ye, rest assured, we’ll ensure the delivery.”
During the conversation, Zhong Lingwan had already taken down the Seven-Colored Enchantress and handed it over to Ye Lengan.
Zhongyu Jiarui, upon learning that Ye Lengan belonged to the Huangfu family, was momentarily stunned and then struggled with disbelief. The person they initially thought was a country bumpkin had turned out to be a member of the prestigious Huangfu family.
Recalling her earlier bold words, offering the Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill in exchange for the protection of the Zhongyu family, Zhongyu Jiarui couldn’t help but wonder if the other party had silently mocked her arrogance.
With these thoughts, her mood soured. Hearing Zhong Lingwan address Ye Lengan as Miss Ye, she couldn’t contain herself and blurted out, “Your surname is Ye. What’s your connection with the Ye family?”
In the Hidden World, the surname Ye was rare, and almost all with that surname belonged to the Ye family. So, hearing this surname prompted her instinctive inquiry.
Ye Leng’an, hearing the mention of the Ye family, couldn’t help but frown. “l have no connection with the Ye family.”
From the beginning, Zhongyu Jiarui had mentioned buying the Seven-Colored Enchantress for Wanwan, which seemed to refer to Ye Wanwan. She hadn’t anticipated encountering a friend from the Hidden World so quickly.
It seemed their compatibility was indeed lacking!
After acquiring the Seven-Colored Enchantress, Ye Lengan couldn’t help but smile, then turned and left.
Observing Ye Leng’an’s departure, Zhongyu Jiarui was furious. Yet, she didn’t dare detain her, knowing only that she was from the Huangfu family, unaware of her standing within the Huangfu family. For now, she refrained from making enemies recklessly.
Such minor clashes were inconsequential, but if matters escalated and harmed the Zhongyu family’s interests, her father would not support her.
Nangong Xuyao, who had been silent, found himself recalling a figure upon hearing the woman’s surname was Ye. Strangely, when he saw this Ye-surnamed girl, he thought of Ye Lengan.
A woman with the surname Ye from the Huangfu family. Considering this combination, his mind immediately went to Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an.
Upon careful consideration, he found it improbable. Even if Huangfu Ruiling had come to the Hidden World, he wouldn’t have brought Ye Lengan. No matter how powerful he was, he could only sit in a wheelchair. If Ye Lengan had been brought to the Huangfu family, her safety wouldn’t have been guaranteed. His thoughts seemed overly speculative.
Now that he knew the Ye-surnamed woman was from the Huangfu family, he at least had a direction. He needed to find an opportunity to privately meet her and confirm whether she was the one who saved him. If not, was there any connection between her and his savior?
“Xuyao, what are you thinking?” Zhongyu Jiarui’s tone held impatience. “Did you hear me?”
Nangong Xuyao, still lost in his thoughts, irritated Zhongyu Jiarui. Although she liked Nangong Xuyao, it didn’t mean she would completely temper her attitude before him.
As the third daughter of the Zhongyu family, she was born into privilege, and her father currently led the Zhongyu family. Even if she liked Nangong Xuyao, it was an honor for him. She expected Nangong Xuyao to be always devoted to her.
“Nothing, just pondering something.” Nangong Xuyao’s eyes revealed a hint of impatience upon hearing Zhongyu Jiarui’s words, but his tone remained gentle. “With the Family Competition approaching, my mind has been preoccupied. I apologize for not listening attentively earlier.”
Zhongyu Jiarui’s mood improved upon hearing Nangong Xuyao’s explanation. She quickly suppressed her temper and smiled. “l understand your concerns about the upcoming Family Competition. Don’t worry; your strength is already impressive, and everyone will surely take notice.”
Nangong Xuyao nodded casually. “1 hope so.”
“Good.” Zhongyu Jiarui nodded and then, somewhat embarrassedly, said, “After this Family Competition, why don’t you come home with me to meet my father?”
Although there were men pursuing her with higher status than Nangong Xuyao, she simply preferred him. So, since she had set her sights on him, she hoped to settle matters as soon as possible.
Upon hearing Zhongyu Jiarui’s words, a trace of hesitation flashed across Nangong Xuyao’s eyes, but he didn’t immediately respond.
He also knew that Zhongyu Jiarui was the best choice for him. Now that Zhongyu Jiarui proposed meeting her parents, it was undoubtedly a positive development.
However, when it came down to it, he hesitated. He wasn’t sure if he truly wanted to commit to Zhongyu Jiarui. He didn’t know if he would regret such a decision in the future.
“What, you’re unwilling?” Seeing Nangong Xuyao’s silence, Zhongyu Jiarui couldn’t help but raise her voice. “Have you never considered this?”
“No.” Nangong Xuyao immediately denied, “It’s just that I didn’t know how to react when you suddenly brought this up. Additionally, would Master Zhongyu be displeased if he knew we were involved? After all, the difference in our status is quite significant.”
Hearing Nangong Xuyao’s words, Zhongyu Jiarui breathed a sigh of relief. “No, my father will definitely like you..”
