Even if Zhongyu Liuying didn’t hear, she could probably guess the idle gossip these people would engage in next. However, she had no way to stop Nangong Xiyu because what the latter spoke was the truth.
Huangfu Jingzhang’s expression was also unpleasant. While Huangfu Ruilings actions were directed at Zhongyu Liuying, it felt like a slap to his face. He inwardly resented the fact that if only Huangfu Ruiling had died during that incident, none of this would have occurred today.
Simultaneously, he held a grudge against Zhongyu Liuying. If only she had convinced Ye Leng’an back then, tonight’s handover ceremony wouldn’t have taken place, and he would still be the nominal head of the Huangfu family. This could have brought him both prestige and benefits.
Furthermore, if Zhongyu Liuying had been capable enough to protect what was hers tonight, the second branch wouldn’t have managed to seize half of her power.
At this moment, Zhongyu Liuying didn’t notice Huangfu Jingzhangs dissatisfaction. After scanning the venue, she noticed her youngest son’s absence and felt puzzled. “Jingzhang, where do you think Ruixiang has gone?
The banquet hasn’t been underway for long. Why would he be missing?”
“How would I know?” Huangfu Jingzhang’s tone carried a hint of impatience.
“He’s already grown up. He won’t just get lost. Why do you care so much?”
“l just find it strange,” Zhongyu Liuying murmured. “The banquet hasn’t been underway for long, and Ruixiang wouldn’t leave at this time.”
“If you have time now, focus on thinking about how to retain the power within your grasp!” Huangfu Jingzhang said irritably. “Although you and Nangong Xiyu are in charge now, the specifics aren’t settled. Think about what to do next! ”
Sensing Huangfu Jingzhang’s dissatisfaction, Zhongyu Liuying refrained from further discussion but took the words to heart. contemolating her next steos.
On the other side, the atmosphere between Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an improved considerably as they chatted and laughed.
“l could tell your mother was quite upset with you just now!” Ye Leng’an’s tone carried a touch of schadenfreude. “She’s probably really angry with you. And not just your mother, but your father too, I imagine.”
“If I remember correctly, wasn’t it your suggestion in the first place?” Huangfu Ruiling raised an eyebrow and smiled. “Why is all the blame on me now?”
“But, the final decision-maker is you!” Ye Leng’an argued confidently. “And, don’t forget what day it is today! You just took the position of family head away from someone and now you’re taking half of the power of domestic affairs. No matter how one looked at it, you’re the one inviting trouble!”
Huangfu Ruiling responded with an affectionate smile, unperturbed by Ye Leng’an’s twisted reasoning.
“Let’s not dwell on that.” Ye Leng’an changed the subject. “When does the
Hidden World Family Competition begin? I’d like to apply for leave early.”
“In about a month’s time,” Huangfu Ruiling replied. ‘All the major families will send their elite descendants to participate. The rewards this time are much richer than before, so the major families are all eager to make a move.”
“There are rewards?” Ye Leng’an expressed surprise. “l thought it was just an ordinary competition! ”
“Of course, there are rewards,” Huangfu Ruiling explained with a smile. “If it were merely a regular competition, the major families wouldn’t pay much attention to it. The Family Competition is designed to motivate the descendants of major families to excel. It occurs once every four years, with all the major families contributing to the rewards. The winning family gets to claim the prize.”
“So it’s a paid competition!” Ye Lengan nodded seriously. “No wonder you all seem to take this competition so seriously.”
“It’s not just about the rewards; it’s also about standing out,” Huangfu Ruiling continued. “If you perform well in the Family Competition, you can attract the familys attention, and perhaps even receive special training.. Who doesn’t want to seize such an opportunity!”
