“Hongxuan, how is Wanwan now?” Lian Mengzhu asked urgently, “Is her condition severe?”
Ye Hongxuan reassured her in a soft voice, “Don’t worry, Wanwan’s condition has stabilized. However, she is seriously injured this time and needs to bed rest for the next three months.’
Upon hearing Ye Hongxuan’s words, Lian Mengzhu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Though she still felt deeply for her daughter’s injuries, the fact that her life wasn’t in jeopardy eased her worries.
While Ye Hongxuan attended to Ye Wanwan, the Huangfu family took measures to treat Huangfu Changmao.
After confirming the stabilization of Ye Wanwan’s injuries, Ye Hongxuan intended to have her taken down for proper rest. Of course, he also remembered the need to seek justice for his daughter.
“Master Huangfu, shouldn’t you explain?” Ye Hongxuan stood up, his sharp gaze fixed on Huangfu Ruiling, “During the competition, Huangfu Changmao hadn’t conceded yet, so Wanwan’s attack was justified. Master Huangfu, by favoring Huangfu Changmao, you violated the rules and attacked Wanwan.
What are your intentions?”
Each word carried a tone of hostility.
Evidently, Ye Hongxuan’s anger had reached its peak due to Ye Wanwan’s injury. He now sought justice for his daughter. If Huangfu Ruilings explanation failed to convince him, the Ye family and Huangfu family would be irreconcilable in the future.
Huangfu Ruiling didn’t directly respond to Ye Hongxuan’s question. Instead, he ordered someone to prevent Ye Wanwan from being taken away.
“Huangfu Ling, you’ve gone too far!” Lian Mengzhu almost pointed at Huangfu Ruiling and scolded, “Although our Ye family is not as powerful as your Huangfu family, we won’t tolerate your bullying. You’ve injured Wanwan, and now you’re preventing her from resting. Are you trying to kill Wanwan?”
Everyone present was taken aback by this sudden turn of events. Such incidents had never occurred in previous family competitions. Furthermore, no family leader had ever intervened to prevent their disciples from getting injured.
Regardless, Huangfu Lings actions were evidently inappropriate.
Therefore, though the other family heads didn’t voice their opinions, they instinctively sided with the Ye family.
“Master!” Grand Elder Huangfu Haochang looked at Huangfu Ruiling, frowning with puzzlement.
Though he was grateful to the family head for saving Huangfu Changmao, he couldn’t understand his actions.
As elders, they couldn’t completely fathom the family head’s character, but they still had some understanding. Especially him, who usually represented the family head in most situations. He interacted with the family head the most, so he had a bit more insight. Therefore, he didn’t believe that Huangfu Ruiling intervened to prevent Changmao from getting injured.
Faced with the anger of Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu, Huangfu Ruiling maintained a stoic expression. He lifted his head and spoke slowly, “Master Ye, if there is a need for explanations, it should be your Ye family explaining to our Huangfu family, shouldn’t it? What exactly did Ye Wanwan do? Are you truly unaware?”
As soon as he spoke, everyone’s attention shifted to Ye Wanwan.
The people present weren’t fools; they naturally grasped the implied meaning behind these words. It seemed that Huangfu Ling had suddenly attacked because of something Ye Wanwan had done.
At this moment, Ye Wanwan, supported by someone, faced the gaze of everyone. Although she appeared calm on the surface, panic had already set
in.
Because she had indeed taken certain actions. She knew well that her strength didn’t match Huangfu Changmao’s, especially considering her previous serious injuries. Therefore, she was destined to lose in this final match.
In the past, she wouldn’t have cared about the outcome of this competition and believed that even if she lost, her father wouldn’t blame her.
However, ever since learning about her background, she couldn’t face victory or defeat calmly. She desperately wanted to elevate her status within the family. This competition presented the perfect opportunity.
She had struggled to reach the final match, and winning this Family
Competition would secure priority rights to mine the spirit stone for her family, making her a hero, Even if the truth came out later, her status in the family wouldn’t easily be affected.
To win this competition, she decided to take a risk and use a unique knockout drug. This drug only needed to be smelled and would gradually take effect. Unlike other drugs, it didn’t induce overall weakness; it merely caused occasional bouts of lethargy.
Most importantly, after being drugged, as long as one didn’t continue to smell it, all traces of the drug would disappear within half an hour.
In the recent competition, she seized the moment when Huangfu Changmao felt powerless to launch her attack. Unexpectedly, she was injured by Huangfu Ling at the last moment, who seemed to have seen through her tactics..
