Ye Leng’an’s words left her feeling utterly perplexed. She even began to wonder if Ye Lengan had somehow learned of the existence of the system. The system had been assisting her in dealing with Ye Lengan before it went offline. However, she had been unable to reconnect with it since then. Could it be that Ye Lengan had truly done something?
Yet, the system was an abstract, intangible presence. Ye Lengan couldn’t possibly have discovered it. That couldn’t be the case. It was impossible, absolutely impossible.
The loss of contact with the system might be attributed to some technical malfunction or an unplanned upgrade, just like in previous instances. That had to be it.
Although she mentally prepared herself continuously, Ye Xiyuan’s heart raced, and the persistent anxiety couldn’t be suppressed.
“What do I know?” Ye Lengan smiled mysteriously. “Is there some secret you can’t bear to share with me? Let me think! Are you referring to that so-called system within you, or is it about your rebirth?”
As Ye Lengan spoke, Ye Xiyuan’s eyes widened, revealing clear shock and apprehension. Even her lips quivered involuntarily. She found it unbelievable that Ye Lengan was aware of her most significant secrets, including the system and her rebirth.
How was that possible? No, it had to be a lie. It couldn’t be true.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Xiyuan struggled to regain her composure and quivered as she said, ‘E l… I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
She was in denial, as if her words could somehow deny the existence of these facts.
“Haha, say what you will.” Ye Lengan smirked coldly, approaching Ye Xiyuan.
“Aren’t you curious how I’ve come to know all your secrets?”
Gritting her teeth, Ye Xiyuan gazed at Ye Lengan, her lips moving but failing to articulate a response. She was unsure if she should ask at this moment, and if she did, wouldn’t it be an acknowledgment of the truth in Ye Leng’an’s words?
“I know you must be itching to ask, so I’ll be generous and share it with you!’ Ye Lengan continued, “Can’t you contact your so-called system anymore? Perhaps, it’s because you lost all connection after instructing your supposed system to attack me yesterday.”
“It’s you!” Ye Xiyuan suddenly lifted her head and stared at Ye Lengan with urgency. “Ye Lengan, what have you done?”
Could it be that the system’s loss of contact this time wasn’t due to a malfunction but because of something Ye Lengan had done? But how was that possible? How could Ye Lengan possibly manipulate the system?
“l haven’t actively done anything, but if you think you can get away with making me a passive target, that’s impossible,” Ye Lengan said slowly. “Usually, when someone, be it a person or an object, attacks me, I make a prompt decision and retaliate immediately, much like when you attempted to slap me just now.”
“You…” Ye Xiyuan gazed at Ye Lengan, her teeth clenched, and she spoke with a quiver in her voice, “Ye Lengan, if you’ve done something to the system, I won’t let you off.”
“System?” Ye Lengan looked at Ye Xiyuan with a sly smile and continued, “The system no longer exists. Ye Xiyuan, you’ve lost your most significant advantage since your rebirth. What’s your plan now?”
“You’ve destroyed my system?” Ye Xiyuan promptly comprehended the situation. “Ye Lengan, you dare to destroy my system.”
“Why wouldn’t I dare?” Ye Lengan found it amusing. “You unleashed it to attack me. Do you think I’d passively await my fate? Instead of worrying about the system, shouldn’t you be concerned about your own future? Without that so-called system’s assistance, what will you do?”
As Ye Leng’an’s taunting words reached her ears, Ye Xiyuan’s eyes brimmed with animosity. “Ye Lengan, I won’t let you off. I absolutely won’t let you off.”
“Now it seems that, despite being adversaries, we share one similarity.” Ye Lengan nodded in agreement.. “Do you believe that by repeatedly attempting to harm me, I’d let you off the hook? Nevertheless, now that you’ve lost your ace in the hole, what means do you have to deal with me in the future?”
