Chapter 793: When Enemies Met, Hatred Ensued

His cold words, coupled with an expressionless face, seemed to instantly chill the air several degrees. Those around couldnt help but s.h.i.+ver involuntarily.

Ye Hongxuan stood motionless, his expression soured. He hadnt antic.i.p.ated Huangfu Ruilings lack of respect. After all, he was Ye Lengans biological father and Huangfu Ruilings future father-in-law.

Huangfu Ruiling was fully aware of this. Considering Ye Lengans relations.h.i.+p with Ye Hongxuan, he should have shown more courtesy, shouldnt he?

However, most people around were unaware of the truth. So, seeing Huangfu Ruilings att.i.tude didnt come as a surprise. After all, although he rarely appeared, his cold nature was well known.

Observing Ye Hongxuans displeased demeanor, Ye Lengan knew his inner conflict. She sneered and spoke, Master Ye, is there anything else?

If Huangfu Ruilings att.i.tude irked Ye Hongxuan, then Ye Lengans distant demeanor exacerbated it.

Yet, despite his myriad emotions, Ye Hongxuan couldnt afford to reveal them in front of so many people. He managed a forced smile and said, Since Master Huangfu honors us with your presence, we naturally should show our hospitality. Please, Master Huangfu, come in!

With that, he took the lead.

Lian Mengzhus intense gaze remained fixed on Ye Lengan, reflecting a mixture of affection, guilt, and the pain of Ye Lengans refusal to acknowledge her.

Sensing Lian Mengzhus burning gaze, Ye Lengan couldnt help but furrow her brow.

She disliked Lian Mengzhus gaze as if she owed her something. There was no clear right or wrong in this matter, as the root cause was Lian Zixins jealousy. However, since Lian Mengzhu had chosen Ye Wanwan, she shouldnt have played the victim before her. It wouldnt induce guilt, only irritation.

Perceiving Ye Lengans thoughts, Huangfu Ruiling pulled her aside, blocking Lian Mengzhus view. Then, he shot Lian Mengzhu a warning glance.

Lian Mengzhus gaze, initially fixed on Ye Lengan, was suddenly blocked. When she looked up, she met Huangfu Ruilings cold, warning eyes. She held her breath and immediately averted her gaze, but her racing heart betrayed her composure.

Despite Huangfu Ruilings younger age, his imposing aura intimidated her. Yet, this was to be expected, given his position as the head of the Huangfu family and his superior cultivation.

Seeing Huangfu Ruiling defend Ye Lengan, Lian Mengzhu felt a mix of joy and sorrow. His stance reflected Ye Lengans.

If Ye Lengan truly regarded her as a mother, Huangfu Ruiling wouldnt disregard her like this. She pondered how she could earn Ye Lengans acknowledgment.

Each person present harbored their own motives.

As thoughts swirled, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu led Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan to the main hall.

Upon entering, Ye Lengan spotted Ye Yikun seated at the head.

Ye Yikun appeared rejuvenated, indicating his recovery from previous injuries. Yet, this was expected. Huangfu Ruiling hadnt dealt a fatal blow last time, and the Ye family was proficient in alchemy.

Upon their arrival, they felt Ye Yikuns scrutinizing gaze, devoid of any lingering resentment.

Witnessing this, Ye Lengan couldnt help but smirk inwardly.

It seemed Ye Yikun hadnt held a grudge against them for past events, but it wasnt due to magnanimity.

She knew that if Huangfu Ruilings ident.i.ty hadnt been exposed, if the Huangfu familys influence hadnt been formidable, they wouldnt even qualify to be here. And Ye Yikun wouldnt spare them due to their previous grievances.

Of course, she didnt overlook Ye Wanwan standing beside Ye Yikun.

Seeing Ye Wanwan, she was momentarily stunned. At this moment, Ye Wanwan appeared anything but haggard; she positively glowed.

She had personally destroyed Ye Wanwans dantian, so she understood the consequences. Under normal circ.u.mstances, even with ample medicinal pills, Ye Wanwan couldnt have recovered to this extent.

Yet, not only had Ye Wanwan fully recuperated, but her cultivation had also improved. Something was amiss. However, Ye Wanwans aura was unstable, suggesting she had resorted to unorthodox means to advance her cultivation.

Ye Lengan approached Huangfu Ruiling and whispered, What do you think Ye Wanwan did to recover and advance her cultivation? Her aura is truly unstable.

Undoubtedly dishonorable methods. Huangfu Ruiling frowned. I wonder if any harmful means were employed.

A glint of darkness flickered in Ye Lengans eyes. It seems a thorough investigation is warranted.

As Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan conversed discreetly, many guests observed. Some envied the close bond between the engaged couple, while others harbored jealousy and resentment.

Among them was Ye Wanwan, consumed by hatred. From the moment she laid eyes on Ye Lengan, every fiber of her being screamed for vengeance.

The hatred intensified when the enemies met face to face.

The animosity between her and Ye Lengan transcended mere enmity. It had escalated to a life-and-death vendetta. She remembered every single thing Ye Lengan had ever done to her, and it was all etched deep in her heart.
