Chapter 773: Unexpected Visitors

Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

After the departure of Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu, life for Ye Lengan returned to tranquility as if nothing had happened.

However, Huangfu Ruixiangs life wasnt as peaceful. Due to the jealousy between Zhong Yating and Li Yiran, he felt like he was caught in a dilemma, no matter whose side he took, it seemed unappreciated in the end.

Of course, despite the intense quarrels between Li Yiran and Zhong Yating, they didnt dare to go too far. After all, they were well aware of their social status and feared provoking Huangfu Ruixiang, which would benefit no one.

During these days, Ye Lengan found Huangfu Ruixiangs troubles quite amusing, almost like listening to a story.

However, when some issues arose that involved her, it didnt feel as enjoyable anymore.

Due to the National Day holiday, the school was closed for seven days. Apart from Zhou Cuian, who couldnt afford the travel expenses, everyone else went home. Ye Lengan was no exception; she returned to her villa.

During these seven days of rest, she planned to make progress. She had already reached the peak of the late stage of the Nascent Soul Stage and aimed to see if she could achieve the DemiG.o.d Stage during this time.

For three consecutive days, she remained in her room. Having informed Sister Li beforehand, she was undisturbed during this time.

Three days later, Ye Lengan woke up with a furrowed brow. Despite making attempts at breaking through, she felt frustrated as if there was a thin barrier preventing her progress. Despite touching the edge of the DemiG.o.d Stage, she couldnt seem to break through.

Feeling restless and somewhat defeated, she decided to halt her cultivation. She understood that continuing without calming her mind would be fruitless. Moreover, prolonged frustration might lead to adverse effects.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Ye Lengan descended the stairs. Despite not needing to eat, she still preferred the routine of three meals a day.

Having skipped meals for the past three days, she felt a genuine appet.i.te now. Therefore, after freshening up, she headed downstairs to have Sister Li prepare something for her.

However, upon arriving downstairs, she was surprised to hear from Sister Li that someone had been looking for her for the past three days, visiting several times.

Unable to reach Ye Lengan, Sister Li refrained from allowing the visitors in without instruction. Consequently, the visitor lingered at the doorstep each time before leaving. Now that they had returned, Sister Li was uncertain whether to invite them in. Upon seeing Ye Lengan, she promptly informed her of the situation.

Upon hearing that, Ye Lengan was taken aback but instructed Sister Li to invite the visitors in. She was curious to see who was persistently seeking her out.

In the living room, Ye Lengan nibbled on the snacks prepared by Sister Li while awaiting the visitors.

Given Ye Lengans unpredictable movements these days, Sister Li always had snacks prepared, fearing she might feel hungry upon coming downstairs.

As Ye Lengan leisurely savored her snacks, Sister Li entered with the visitors. Seeing them, Ye Lengan furrowed her brow.

The visitors were none other than Ye Li and Lin Wanqin.

Seeing the unexpected guests, Ye Lengan was puzzled. She hadnt antic.i.p.ated their visit, especially not for three consecutive days.

Recalling that their paths shouldnt cross anymore, she wondered why they were here.

Respecting the guests, despite their past discord, Ye Lengan politely invited them to take a seat.

Ye Li and Lin Wanqin complied.

However, after sitting down, they appeared somewhat reserved, exchanging glances but neither initiating conversation.

Ye Lengan, however, seemed more at ease, being in her own home. Nonetheless, she was curious about the purpose of their visit.

Considering their previous animosity, their visit couldnt possibly be merely social. Even a fool wouldnt believe that.

With Ye Li and Lin Wanqin remaining silent, and Ye Lengan refraining from questioning, the living room atmosphere became uncomfortably quiet.

It was only when Sister Li brought tea that the silence was broken.

After Sister Li left, Ye Li and Lin Wanqin exchanged glances. Finally, taking a deep breath, Lin Wanqin spoke first.

Lengan, I heard youve been admitted to university, is that true? Lin Wanqins tone was somewhat dry. I didnt expect you to excel to this extent, sitting the college entrance exam in your first year of high school and emerging as the top scorer. Were all very proud of you!

Hearing this, Ye Lengan found it amusing. She nodded lightly and replied, Yes.

It was a simple response, and then silence followed.

Ye Lengan was almost certain that Ye Li and Lin Wanqin had come with a request. Otherwise, they wouldnt have been so polite, almost flattery-laden, in their approach.

Ye Li and Lin Wanqin had hoped to engage in casual conversation to ease the atmosphere before broaching the main topic. However, Ye Lengans curt response left them unsure of how to proceed.

Unrushed, Ye Lengan continued to enjoy her snacks while observing the awkward demeanor of Ye Li and Lin Wanqin. She was eager to discover the purpose behind their shameless persistence.

Lengan. Ye Li rubbed his hands, sporting a smile. Its been a while since weve seen each other. Your mother and I have missed you. Despite our past conflicts, we cant deny that we raised you for over ten years.
