She pondered whether she truly lacked a blood connection! In the past, Lin Wanqin continually reproached her, the adopted daughter, for the sake of her biological daughter. And now, Lian Mengzhu, her biological mother, was blaming her for the sake of Ye Wanwan, who had no blood relation to her. She, as a daughter, genuinely felt like a failure and failed to win her mothers affection.

Huangfu Ruiling seemed to sense Ye Lengans unfavorable mood. He promptly rushed to her side. Without uttering a word, he reached out and tightly held her hand.

A warmth emanated from their palms. Ye Lengan lifted her head, gazing at

Huangfu Ruiling beside her. She smiled and spoke, Dont worry, Im fine.

She merely sighed inwardly and felt no sadness. After all, she had long surpa.s.sed the age where parental approval was crucial. Over the long years, all her yearnings for familial bonds had eroded away. Her sentiments just now were merely a fleeting touch, with no ripples in her heart.

Master Ye, Mrs. Ye, dont you want evidence? Ye Lengan held the sachet taken from Ye Wanwan, smiling as she continued, This is the evidence. Upon these words, everyones gaze immediately converged on Ye Lengans hand.

Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu exchanged glances, both discerning suspicion in each others eyes.

No, its not like that.

At this moment, Ye Wanwan, disregarding the pain in her body, tried to move forward and reclaim the sachet. However, due to her severe injuries, her body was unresponsive. If Lian Mengzhu werent supporting her, she would have already fallen to the ground.

Yet, Ye Wanwans actions fueled suspicions among onlookers. If there was nothing dubious about that sachet, why would she be so agitated?

Looking at her daughter, Lian Mengzhu hesitated in her tone, Wanwan,

you

Naturally, she wanted to believe in her daughter. However, Wanwans actions couldnt help but sow doubt. Did Wanwan genuinely resort to some underhanded means to win the compet.i.tion?

Just as everyone pondered, Ye Lengan suddenly tossed the sachet into the air. Subsequently, she unleashed a stream of spiritual energy.

Instantly, the sachet split into two halves mid-air, and its contents scattered. The powder, once a subtle fragrance, now diffused completely. The heads and elders of the major families, upon catching a whiff, immediately underwent facial transformations. When they looked at Ye Wanwan again, there was a hint of inexplicable meaning in their eyes. Moreover, their gaze toward Ye Hongxuan became a bit peculiar.

Ye Hongxuans expression changed drastically. Being an alchemist, he comprehended the nature of the fragrance. It was the powder of the Immortal Nether Flower.

The Immortal Nether Flower bore an elegant name but was merely an ordinary spirit plant. Yet, it possessed a unique effect; if one inhaled its scent for an extended period, their movements would become sluggish. Typically, this plant was employed to craft knockout drugs. However, some individuals purified it and utilized it to ensnare spirit beasts.

Although the Immortal Nether Flowers fragrance could induce momentary sluggishness, its toxicity was moderate. Consuming a regular antidote pill would nullify its effects. In fact, even if one did inhale it, ceasing to smell it would cause the medicinal properties to dissipate.

The powder of the Immortal Nether Flower in the sachet had evidently undergone substantial purification. If used in a compet.i.tion, it wouldnt be surprising for the opponent to experience a momentary slowdown.

Not everyone present could discern the scent of the Immortal Nether Flower. Consequently, many remained perplexed. However, witnessing the transformations in the expressions of the family heads, they could sense that things were more complex.

Huangfu Ruiling turned his gaze to Ye Hongxuan and calmly stated, Master

Ye, this is the explanation you sought.

A simple sentence instantly cast a shadow over Ye Hongxuans face.

Nevertheless, he couldnt muster a retort. The truth stood before him; indeed, Ye Wanwan had breached the rules first, justifying Huangfu Lings intervention..
