Chapter 874: Her Greatest a.s.set

Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

Ye Lengan, unaware of the events unfolding at the banquet, exited the restroom only to find someone waiting by the sink, unmistakably aiming for her attention. It was none other than Ye Wanwan. From the moment Ye Wanwan laid eyes on her, her gaze remained fixed, leaving no doubt that she was being targeted.

With such blatant behavior, even if she claimed the contrary, no one would believe it!

Yet, Ye Wanwan said nothing. She simply stared at Ye Lengan.

Although Ye Lengan couldnt decipher Ye Wanwans intentions, since the latter remained silent, she treated her as if she were invisible. After was.h.i.+ng her hands, she turned to leave the restroom.

Ye Lengan!

As she turned, Ye Lengan heard Ye Wanwans voice, dripping with animosity.

Turning back, Ye Lengans lips curled into a mocking smile. Miss Ye, what brings you to me? You dont intend to strike up a friendly conversation with me in the restroom, do you?

The expression on Ye Lengans face ignited a blaze of anger within Ye Wanwan. Her features contorted with fury. Ye Lengan, youre quite arrogant, arent you?

In that moment, she detested Ye Lengan to the core. If given the chance, she would have loved nothing more than to eliminate this loathsome woman standing before her. In her heart, she continually lamented. Why did Lian Zixin send Ye Lengan to the mortal world back then? Wouldnt it have been better to just eradicate her? She wouldnt have had to deal with so many future troubles.

Does Miss Ye doubt my arrogance? Ye Lengan lazily brushed her sideburns, a smirk playing on her lips. But Miss Yes life doesnt seem to be going smoothly! How ironic! After all, youre now the sole young lady of the Ye family!

Her words dripped with sarcasm, constantly reminding Ye Wanwan of her usurped status.

Ye Lengan, dont get too c.o.c.ky. Ye Wanwan gritted her teeth, glaring at her. Dont think youve triumphed just because Father and Mother are paying more attention to you. Im the one whos been by their side, and Im the one who remains in the Ye family. Ye Lengan, youll never have the chance to return to the Ye family.

A pensive glint flickered in Ye Lengans eyes as she glanced at the night sky. It appeared that despite the Ye familys proclamation, severing all ties, and Ye Wanwans elevation as the sole young lad Ye Wanwans days werent as rosy as she might have hoped.

Initially, Ye Wanwan had been overjoyed. With the Ye family cutting off all connections with Ye Lengan, and her being barred from ever returning, she had become the sole heiress of the Ye family. She no longer had to worry about her status being threatened by Ye Lengans return.

Yet, as time pa.s.sed, she realized that precisely because Ye Lengan could never return, her parents felt even more remorseful towards her.

Often, she noticed her mothers gaze lacking its usual warmth, replaced by a mixture of complex emotions. Though her father remained silent, it was evident that this matter weighed heavily on him.

This dampened Ye Wanwans initial excitement. She grew to resent Ye Lengan even more.

Miss Ye, dont a.s.sume everyone desires to live in a family like yours! Ye Lengan sneered. And how can you be sure I want to return to the Ye family? If I truly wished to return, none of this would have occurred. Its best to know your place, Miss Ye. Like you, its best to recognize your true ident.i.ty. Dont try to provoke me. I wonder if the Murong family is aware of this! Tell me, if they discover youre not the biological daughter of the Ye family but Lian Zixins daughter, will your marriage still hold?

At the mention of her marriage, Ye Wanwans pupils constricted. Fear flashed in her eyes, though she concealed it well. Meeting Ye Lengans gaze, she brimmed with vigilance. Ye Lengan, what are you planning? Let me remind you, if you sabotage the marriage between the Ye and Murong families, Grandfather wont let you off.

Deep down, she knew her grandfather had chosen her not only because he despised Ye Lengan but also because of her marriage to Murong Xingrui.

Currently, her greatest a.s.set was her union with the Murong family. If anything went wrong with this marriage, she couldnt guarantee her position as the Ye familys young lady would remain secure.

Hehe, do you think Im afraid of that? Ye Lengan chuckled as if amused. If I were truly fearful, I wouldnt have crippled your cultivation. So, dont provoke me, Miss Ye. Otherwise, your marriage will crumble, or youll experience the agony of having your cultivation destroyed once more. And that wont bode well.

At the mention of her past ordeal, pain and fear flashed across Ye Wanwans eyes. The torment she endured when her dantian was shattered remained etched in her memory, a constant reminder of her vulnerability.

Ignoring Ye Wanwan, Ye Lengan turned to leave the restroom. Yet, before she could take two steps, she sensed a surge of spiritual energy behind her. Swiveling around, she discovered Ye Wanwan had summoned a stream of spiritual power.

However, to her surprise, Ye Wanwan wasnt targeting her. Instead, after condensing her spiritual energy, she directed it at herself.
