Ye Lengan nodded and said, However, compared to the Hidden World, Im more concerned about the mortal world. After all, the mortal world is larger. I think Duo Ji t s matter is not an isolated case.

Ive already sent people to investigate in the mortal world, Huangfu Ruiling said. Its just that theres no news yet.

While they were conversing, Li San returned with the results of the search conducted by their subordinates.

Master, Miss Ye, within a radius of many miles, there are no traces. Most importantly, there were no corpses or bones. However, not far away, theres a cliff. I speculate that those bodies might be at the bottom of the cliff.

After pondering for a moment, Huangfu Ruiling instructed, Then send someone down to search as soon as possible. At the same time, investigate the cultivators who have inexplicably disappeared in the past hundred years. Ill do it immediately, Li San replied before leaving.

When Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan returned to the Huangfu family, it was already evening. After a busy day, the two of them were somewhat tired. After having a meal, they went to rest.

The next day, Ye Lengan still showed no interest in the Family Compet.i.tion. If she didnt attend, Huangfu Ruiling naturally wouldnt attend either.

Therefore, the two main seats at the Huangfu familys table remained empty.

However, others didnt find it strange to see these empty seats since the head of the Huangfu family was frequently absent.

Nevertheless, there was still much curiosity about the fiance of Mater Huangfu. Huangfu Lings fiance seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, and no one had heard anything about her before. Therefore, everyone was intrigued about her ident.i.ty.

Especially when they learned that her surname was Ye, many people started asking the Ye family. When they found out that the fiance wasnt from the Ye family, everyone was a bit surprised.

Regardless of the various speculations, most of the attention remained on the Family Compet.i.tion. This was because the outcome of the compet.i.tion was linked to a spirit stone mine, and everyone was prepared for the contest.

It was already the third day of the compet.i.tion, and the Huangfu family was leading. People from other families naturally felt a bit uneasy.

Spirit stone mines were scarce, and this particular one had proven to be excellent after exploration. Who wouldnt want to secure the mining rights first?

The Huangfu family was now subtly positioned above the other families. If they managed to obtain the spirit stone mine, they would undoubtedly become the foremost clan in the Hidden World within a few years.

Such a situation wasnt something the heads of the other nine great families wanted to see.

However, the Huangfu familys elders were all wearing satisfied smiles. It was clear they were content with the current results.

Ye Wanwan had just completed a match and returned to her seat. Unsurprisingly, she had won.

Although her expression didnt reveal much, it was evident she was pleased with her performance.

Ye Hongxuan looked at Ye Wanwan and nodded approvingly. He then offered a reminder. Wanwan, your performance these few days has been very good. But remember, you must not be arrogant, understand?

Father, dont worry. Ye Wanwan nodded and smiled. Although Ive won these few matches, Im well aware that I havent reached the end yet. I havent encountered a truly strong opponent. Theres always someone better than you.

I still understand that principle.

Ye Hongxuan didnt say anything more after hearing Ye Wanwans response. However, his appreciative expression indicated he was satisfied with her reply.

Standing on the side, Lian Mengzhu looked at Ye Wanwans demeanor and spoke with a smile, During this period, Wanwan has really grown a lot! Your father and 1 are very pleased.

Even though they didnt know the reason, their daughter had indeed changed significantly during this period, and it was a positive development. Therefore, the couple was genuinely happy..
