After gradually calming his emotions, Huangfu Ruixiang began to contemplate what he should do next.

After todays probing, he started to question whether his initial speculation was indeed incorrect. However, since his arrival at the Huangfu family, he hadnt once encountered Huangfu Ruiling. Moreover, he hadnt heard anyone within the family mention Huangfu Ruiling. The crucial point was that Huangfu Ruiling was conspicuously absent from the current Family Compet.i.tion.

Earlier, during his attempt to probe, Ye Lengan displayed no signs whatsoever. If the other party hadnt been prepared, then it meant his speculation was flawed.

Regardless of which possibility held true, the current circ.u.mstances were highly unfavorable for him. Moreover, if all his conjectures were off the mark, his actions today had undeniably left a negative impression on Ye Anan.

Ye Anan, being the masters fiance, could easily influence the masters perception with a few words. Even if the master wasnt acquainted with him, he would have formed a negative impression. What prospects could he have within the family?

Contemplating these thoughts, he couldnt help but regret the rashness of his actions today. Had he known, he would have thoroughly investigated to confirm Huangfu Ruilings presence within the family before making any decisions.

However, now that things had turned out this way, he had no way to change this fact. Moving forward, he should continue to inquire within the family, checking whether Huangfu Ruiling was indeed in the main family. It was said that Huangfu Ruiling held a high position in the main family. Finding Huangfu Ruiling might still be a good thing for him.

Huangfu Ruixiangs appearance had no impact on Ye Lengan whatsoever. She still went out to enjoy herself, and when she encountered Huangfu Ruiling in the evening, she briefed him on the situation.

Upon hearing that Huangfu Ruixiang had come looking for her, Huangfu Ruiling smirked sarcastically. Hes clever, managing to figure it out.

Its normal for such suspicions to arise. Ye Lengan couldnt resist rolling her eyes at Huangfu Ruiling. Just look at our names; they differ by only one word. Anyone can see whats going on! Initially, you confidently declared that even if someone figured it out, they wouldnt come to inquire. Now, isnt Huangfu Ruixiang here attempting to probe?

Huangfu Ruiling responded calmly, So what? As long as we dont admit it, what can he say? He lacks the capability and the courage to force us to confess.

Thats true. Ye Lengan agreed with a nod. l didnt say much to him; I just took a firmer stance, and he immediately backed down.

Because hes only speculating, with no evidence whatsoever, Huangfu Ruiling said nonchalantly. Discussing something he wasnt certain about would naturally make him feel uneasy.

Ye Lengan nodded. However, whatever he thinks is inconsequential now. In a few days, well be returning to the mortal world. Even if Huangfu Ruixiang is suspicious, he wont uncover anything.

Huangfu Ruiling added indifferently, It doesnt matter even if he finds out. As long as we dont admit it, its pointless even if hes confident in our ident.i.ty. Nioreover, even if we do admit it, so what? Does he believe hell gain any special privileges?

l think thats probably what he thinks. Ye Lengan chuckled. Otherwise, why would he go through so much trouble just to find out if youre Huangfu Ruiling? If hes truly certain, he might exploit your younger brothers ident.i.ty to seek advantages on the main familys side.

Ideals may be lofty, but reality is harsh, Huangfu Ruiling said bluntly. In the Huangfu family, no one will open any doors for him.

All the elders and important figures within the Huangfu family were aware of his ident.i.ty, but none of them regarded Huangfu Ruixiang with any particular esteem. This was because he had not shown any favoritism toward Huangfu

Ruixiang, and Huangfu Ruixiang did not possess significant cultivation talent.

In the Hidden World, strength reigned supreme.

Speaking of which, weve spent quite some time in the Hidden World. I wonder if the princ.i.p.al misses me.

Thinking of Zheng Anyang, Ye Lengan couldnt help but find it amusing. I think that after I go back this time, the princ.i.p.al wont let me take any more leave until the end of the college entrance examination.

Huangfu Ruiling raised his eyebrows. But, if you insist on taking leave, your princ.i.p.al will still approve it.

For so long, every time Ye Lengan requested leave, Zheng Anyang would ultimately yield, despite harboring numerous complaints.

Ye Lengan considered it and shook her head. Forget it! The princ.i.p.al isnt young anymore. Its better for me not to make him angry often. After all, we have to respect the elderly and care for the young!

Hearing Ye Lengans words, Huangfu Ruiling couldnt help but shake his head in amus.e.m.e.nt. If your princ.i.p.al heard what you said, I dont know if he should cry or laugh.

Of course, he should laugh. It means that I miss him! Ye Lengan stated with righteousness. However, I have to say that our princ.i.p.al is really not bad.

To others, she didnt know what kind of person the princ.i.p.al was. However, ever since her rebirth, the princ.i.p.al had afforded her a lot of convenience. Nioreover, he had consistently sided with her. Therefore, she was very grateful to the princ.i.p.al.

Thinking of this, Ye Lengan suddenly decided. Since thats the case, Ill bring some gifts for the princ.i.p.al when I go back this time!

Arent you afraid that hell find it strange? Huangfu Ruiling raised his eyebrows.

Its nothing, Ye Lengan smiled and said. Isnt the Zheng family also a big family? The princ.i.p.al must be aware of the existence of the Hidden World. So, even if the gift we bring back is a little unconventional, he wont find it strange. After youve finished your tasks, lets go out together and see if we can find a suitable gift.

Huangfu Ruiling never objected to Ye Lengans words, so he nodded readily and continued, Actually, there are many good things in the Huangfu familys warehouse. You can go in and see if there are any suitable ones..
