Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

Brother, I Huangfu Ruixiang began, gathering his courage and lifting his head to look at Huangfu Ruiling, intending to speak up.

However, before he could even start, he was promptly cut off.

I wont show favoritism, Huangfu Ruiling interjected directly, halting Huangfu Ruixiangs words. After spending so much time cultivating within the family, if you cant even pa.s.s such a simple a.s.sessment, then theres no point in staying and wasting resources.

But, Huangfu Ruixiang persisted, Im your younger brother. Cant you help me just this once?

Regardless, they were blood brothers. He didnt desire treasures or lofty positions within the Huangfu family. He simply wished to stay and cultivate within the family. Even being just a humble inner sect disciple would suffice.

Was such a modest wish too much to ask for?

Its already generous of you to remain within the Huangfu family as an inner disciple, Huangfu Ruiling stated indifferently. This is the Hidden World, where cultivation resources are scarce. If you lack the talent for cultivation and the drive to improve, theres no need for you to stay here. There are many other disciples in the family who also require these resources.

These words left Huangfu Ruixiang speechless, unable to retort.

Ignoring both Huangfu Ruixiang and Zhong Yating, Huangfu Ruiling took Ye Lengans hand and walked away.

Watching Huangfu Ruiling depart, Huangfu Ruixiangs heart brimmed with discontent. He knew encountering Huangfu Ruiling here today was purely luck.

Huangfu Ruiling was the head of the Huangfu family, while he was just a simple inner disciple there was a stark difference in their statuses. He rarely even had the opportunity to meet Huangfu Ruiling. Allowing Huangfu Ruiling to leave today would make it even less likely to encounter him in the future.

Yet, Huangfu Ruiling had made his stance clear, even ruthlessly so. Continuing to press on would be undignified.

As Huangfu Ruixiang hesitated, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan disappeared down the corridor.

Seeing Huangfu Ruixiangs sour mood, Zhong Yating quickly offered comfort. Ruixiang, dont dwell on it too much. Theres still time before the familys a.s.sessment. With proper training, youll surely pa.s.s.

After a comfortable period in the mortal world as a member of the Huangfu family, Zhong Yating had lost her motivation to cultivate diligently. She even thought it would be fine if Huangfu Ruixiang failed the a.s.sessment and returned home. The only downside was dealing with Li Yiran and the illegitimate child in the mortal world.

You know nothing! Huangfu Ruixiangs eyes flared as he glared at Zhong Yating. What right do you have to say such things? If not for me, you wouldnt even qualify as an inner sectdisciple.

He unloaded all the frustration he received from Huangfu Ruiling onto Zhong Yating. He even felt that if he had married another woman who could help his future instead of Zhong Yating, he wouldnt be in this predicament now.

With these thoughts, Huangfu Ruixiang left abruptly.

Left behind, Zhong Yating felt unfairly treated. She had done nothing wrong, merely offering solace to Huangfu Ruixiang, yet she faced his disdain.

Nevertheless, she didnt regret marrying Huangfu Ruixiang. She knew what she wanted. Only by marrying him could she live the life she dreamt of.

After gathering her thoughts, Zhong Yating quickly followed.

She and Huangfu Ruixiang were now married. Even if she wasnt an inner sect disciple, she could still reside with him in the inner sect.

Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan returned to the main courtyard.

Having instructed not to be disturbed upon their return, no elders came to bother them, showing tactfulness.

Upon entering, Ye Lengan noticed an exquisite invitation on the main courtyards table.

Is this from the Ye family? Ye Lengan asked.

Approaching, she picked up the invitation and opened it. We didnt even invite the Ye family to our engagement banquet. I didnt expect Ye Yikun to send us an invitation to his supposed birthday celebration!

Its likely to show outsiders that the relations.h.i.+p between the Ye family and the Huangfu family isnt strained, Huangfu Ruiling remarked casually. Because we didnt invite the Ye family to our engagement ceremony, many are speculating about our relations.h.i.+p.

Ye Lengan examined the date of the birthday celebration. Its in two days. Seems were on a tight schedule!

We still have two days, plenty of time, Huangfu Ruiling said nonchalantly. Besides, even if we cant make it, the Grand Elder will arrange it. Someone will investigate then.

Even if the Grand Elder sends someone, its uncertain if theyll find anything, Ye Lengan remarked casually, placing the invitation back. Its better if we go ourselves. At least well know whats happening.

Regarding the matter of visiting the Ye family, she didnt have any particular feelings. Of course, even though she knew her own background and had gone through so much, she couldnt possibly feel any sense of belonging to the Ye family.

Huangfu Ruiling nodded. After the Ye familys celebration, I need to visit the enforcement team.

Any progress on the matter of the evil cultivator? Ye Lengan asked, understandingly. Have they found anything?

They might have found something, but progress seems limited. Huangfu Ruiling shook his head gently. If there were any significant breakthroughs, they wouldve reported immediately. Theyve only found some minor details, so it shouldnt be anything critical.

Hearing this, Ye Lengan felt a bit disappointed. I thought wed soon find out whos behind all this!
