Chapter 733: A Chance to Showcase Your Strength

Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

Its precisely because the Ye family is renowned for alchemy that they need to form alliances with other families, Huangfu Ruiling explained slowly. Indeed, within the Hidden World, the Ye family is considered the largest alchemy family. However, their focus on alchemy has hindered their overall cultivation compared to other families. In the past, when alchemists were scarce, major families highly valued the Ye family. However, times have changed. Many alchemy families have emerged in the Hidden World. Some aristocratic families even support alchemists within their own ranks. The Ye familys advantage is no longer as significant. In recent years, the Ye family has produced few high-level alchemists. Thus, while they remain one of the top ten families in the Hidden World, they are not as formidable as before. Ye Yikun has been eager to restore the familys former glory, and forming alliances is the quickest way.

Having listened to Huangfu Ruilings explanation, Ye Lengan understood. I didnt expect Old Master Ye to be so ambitious! Its a pity hes not willing to take the righteous path.

In her view, any marriage alliance was superficial. The key to a familys prosperity and strength was continuous self-improvement, not resorting to dubious means. Regardless of the external a.s.sistance, true strength came from within.

Moreover, marriage alliances were fragile. For instance, Ye Wanwans cultivation had been crippled, yet the Ye family dared not spread the news, fearing the Murong family might break off the engagement.

Self-reliance was better than dependence. Strengthening oneself was the basis for survival.

Although Ye Hongxuan is the current head of the Ye family, in reality, the one making decisions is Ye Yikun, who has already taken a back seat, Huangfu Ruiling explained calmly. Ye Hongxuan is indecisive and cannot achieve great things or lead the Ye family to its former glory. To make the Ye family strong, Ye Yikun believes forming alliances is the best option.

Although Ye Hongxuan was Ye Lengans biological father, Huangfu Ruiling truly had little regard for him. If he were in Ye Hongxuans position, he would ensure all power rested in his hands after becoming the family head, rather than just holding a t.i.tle.

Ye Hongxuan was overly cautious due to Ye Yikun being his father, enduring much. He was unlikely to achieve anything significant.

Perhaps indecisiveness makes control easier! Ye Lengan stated bluntly. Thats why I say the Ye family is truly chaotic. Thankfully, I never considered going back.

The Ye family was nothing but a quagmire, and she had no intention of stepping into it.

After Ye Lengans remarks, Huangfu Ruiling shook his head amusedly. Its alright. Well leave the Hidden World tomorrow. The Ye familys matters wont trouble you anymore.

Ye Lengan stuck out her tongue and sighed. Seems like Im truly a person without family ties!

Indeed! Back in the mortal world, the Ye family favored their biological daughter, Ye Xiyuan. In the Hidden World, her biological parents had been reluctant to give up on their adopted daughter.

However, Ye Lengan was just casually complaining and felt no emotional ripples.

Huangfu Ruiling also perceived that Ye Lengans mood was unaffected, so he offered no comforting words. He merely smiled and continued, Thats good! In your world, Im the only one.

Your possessiveness is quite strong! Ye Lengan couldnt help but roll her eyes. Shouldnt you be saying some sweet words to comfort me at a time like this?

Huangfu Ruiling raised his eyebrows and asked, Do you need my comfort?

Ye Lengan didnt know how to respond. Currently, she truly didnt need any comfort.

She had never harbored expectations for her so-called parents, so she wouldnt be disappointed. Moreover, she exposed Ye Wanwans ident.i.ty this time merely as payback. Regardless of Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhus att.i.tudes, she didnt care and wouldnt be saddened.

Alright! I cant argue with you.

After saying that, she released his hand, turned around, and jumped onto his back.

Huangfu Ruiling reacted swiftly, immediately reaching out to support her on his back.

Ye Lengan lay on his back, a radiant smile on her face. The broad back beneath her provided a sense of security.

Darling, just carry me on your back! Her tone was filled with hearty laughter. Consider this an opportunity for you to showcase your strength!

Good! As long as you dont come down, Ill carry you all the way.

With that, Huangfu Ruiling carried Ye Lengan on his back, strolling leisurely through the garden. The care he took was as if the entire world rested on his shoulders.

Lying on Huangfu Ruilings back, Ye Lengan smiled. Actually, this feels quite nice. Ling, in the future, lets find time to go on a trip together! Just the two of us, without anyone else.

They had only traveled together once, to the southern boundaries, and it wasnt for leisure but to deal with Gu poison.

That reminded her of Xiao Jin. Before her college entrance exams, Xiao Jin had already fallen into a deep sleep, possibly due to consuming many elixirs, indicating an impending evolution. This had caught her off guard.

However, since Xiao Jin was still asleep, she didnt bring it to the Hidden World. Otherwise, she genuinely wanted Lian Zixin to taste Xiao Jin.

Noticing Ye Lengan lost in thought on his back, Huangfu Ruilings eyes revealed a hint of doubt. He then asked, Anan, what are you thinking about?

After Ye Lengan snapped out of it, she smiled and continued, Its nothing. I was just thinking. By the way, you havent answered my question yet!

Sure! Huangfu Ruilings tone was indulgent. You can go anywhere you want. You can set the time and go anywhere you want.

With Huangfu Ruilings response, she smiled and said, At least you know whats good for you.
