Zhongyu Lingshans departure left the atmosphere in the living room somewhat awkward. Especially for Huangfu Jingzhang, he found himself in a dilemma. His primary reason for coming today was to create an opportunity for Zhongyu Lingshan. Otherwise, he wouldnt have wanted to face Huangfu Ruilings cold demeanor.

However, now that the main figure had left, what purpose did he have in staying?

Huangfu Jingzhang cursed Zhongyu Lingshan inwardly for wasting his time. If he had known, he wouldnt have bothered to come and subject himself to this.

With Zhongyu Lingshan gone and Zhongyu Liuying looking pale, seemingly on the verge of fainting, coupled with Huangfu Ruilings aloof aura, Huangfu Jingzhang had no desire to linger any longer. Thus, without saying a word, he stood up and left.

Huangfu Ruixiang and Zhong Yating, who had accompanied them, were also unaware of Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuyings intentions. Their purpose was simple: to build rapport with Huangfu Ruiling. Seeing everyone else leave, they too felt it was best to take their leave.

The group came and went in haste.

In just a few moments, only Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan remained in the s.p.a.cious living room.

Seeing everyone depart, Ye Lengan couldnt help but chuckle. They certainly left in a hurry! Barely exchanged a few words before taking off.

Amused, Huangfu Ruiling shook his head at Ye Lengans remark, then jokingly suggested, Should we call them back and have New Years Eve dinner together?

Nah. Ye Lengan shrugged with a smile. I barely know them. On a day like today, Id rather not have such a dull dinner.

Normally, she might not have minded, but today she just wanted to be comfortable. As for others, it was none of her concern.

Moreover, Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying didnt seem genuinely interested in reuniting. Anyone observant could see through their intentions. Perhaps only they thought they were being subtle.

That sounds perfect. Huangfu Ruiling couldnt resist reaching out to tousle her hair. A hint of tenderness flickered in his eyes. Just being together like this is enough for a day like today. In the future, lets spend every day like this.

Of course. Ye Lengan beamed. Then, as if recalling something, she asked, By the way, speaking of Zhongyu Lingshan and Zhongyu Jiarui, theyre sisters, right? Why do I feel like their brains dont seem to function well!

She recalled Zhongyu Jiarui trying to s.n.a.t.c.h spiritual herbs from her before. Now, with Zhongyu Lingshan mimicking her, it was clear what they were thinking.

Probably because the Zhongyu family prioritizes the cultivation of boys, Huangfu Ruiling explained calmly. Their cultivation techniques are geared towards boys. Boys have inherent advantages from birth, leading the family to allocate resources towards them, neglecting the girls development.

Why dont they seek cultivation techniques suitable for girls then? Ye Lengan couldnt help but voice her curiosity. Wouldnt that be better?

Its a good idea, but not very feasible, Huangfu Ruiling explained, ruffling her hair. Quality cultivation techniques are hard to come by, and major families arent keen on sharing their techniques.

Understanding dawned in Ye Lengans eyes.

Indeed, the Hidden World differed from the cultivation world. Though both involved cultivation, the former paled in comparison in all aspects.

Furthermore, even the most powerful in the Hidden World could only prolong their lifespans; ascending was beyond their reach. It was evident that cultivation was in decline in this era, nearing its end.

Feeling Huangfu Ruilings hand in her hair, Ye Lengan playfully swatted it away. Dont mess up my hair.

Huangfu Ruiling felt a pang of regret at having his hand pushed away, but he relented.

Suddenly, Ye Lengan remembered something. Looking up at Huangfu Ruiling, she asked, By the way, speaking of Zhongyu Jiarui, wasnt she with Nangong Xuyao before? How are they now? Did Master Zhongyu agree to their request?

Having seen Nangong Xuyao with Zhongyu Jiarui several times before, Ye Lengan had heard rumors that Master Zhongyu had never agreed to their relations.h.i.+p. After all, Nangong Xuyao was from the mortal world and not even from the Hidden Worlds Nangong family.

Their backgrounds didnt align, but it was perhaps more challenging for Nangong Xuyao. Back in the mortal world, he was the heir of the Nangong family, a sought-after suitor among n.o.ble ladies. But in the Hidden World, his status was reversed, becoming a less desirable match.

For someone with weaker resolve, such a change might be insurmountable.

Surprised by Ye Lengans sudden mention of Nangong Xuyao, Huangfu Ruiling paused before responding, a hint of complexity in his eyes. Master Zhongyu has agreed to Nangong Xuyao and Zhongyu Jiaruis marriage. Theyre said to be engaged already, and a wedding date is being considered.

What? Ye Lengans eyes widened in disbelief, almost dropping her jaw. Is that true? Master Zhongyu agreed? Didnt you say before that hed never agree to this?

Huangfu Ruiling glanced calmly at her before speaking softly, You seem quite concerned about Nangong Xuyaos affairs, dont you?
