Upon hearing this, Ye Yikun furrowed his brows even tighter. “Ye Leng’an, what do you mean? Do you want me to hire eight palanquins to carry you back? Let me tell you, if you continue to be ungrateful, you’ll never return to the Ye family.”
“Father, please calm down,” Ye Hongxuan quickly intervened. “Leng’an just needs some time to adjust. She didn’t mean to defy you. Please forgive her this time.”
“Leng’an, apologize to your grandfather,” Lian Mengzhu urged, casting meaningful glances. “Your thoughtless words angered him. Apologize and seek his forgiveness.”
Ignoring the others, Ye Leng’an looked directly at Ye Yikun. “Old Master Ye, you might have misunderstood. I didn’t mention this to return to the Ye family. Didn’t Master Ye inform you?”
Ye Yikun’s arrogance blinded him. He believed the Ye family was superior, and everyone desired to join them.
“What do you mean?” Ye Yikun’s displeasure showed. He turned to Ye Hongxuan with a sharp gaze. “Explain, what happened?”
Not trusting Ye Leng’an’s words, Ye Yikun demanded an explanation. If she had no intention of returning, why disclose this matter here?
“Leng’an is speaking out of turn,” Ye Hongxuan hurriedly defended. “She needs time to adjust. Please forgive her, Father.”
Ye Yikun’s face darkened. He warned Ye Leng’an, “Regardless of your past life in the mortal world, now that you’re back, learn the rules.”
“You all seem to enjoy talking to yourselves!” Ye Leng’an sighed. “I’ve said it before, I won’t return to the Ye family. Can’t any of you understand that?”
“I came to the Ye family this time for two reasons: firstly, to prevent Ye Wanwan from taking advantage and nesting too comfortably. Secondly…”
At this point, Ye Leng’an’s expression turned icy. “My guiding principle is simple. I believe in retaliation. If someone wishes to harm me, I won’t let them off.”
Facing Ye Leng’an’s cold gaze, Ye Wanwan felt a pang of guilt. Ye Yikun, unaware of the details, recognized that Ye Wanwan had offended Ye Leng’an.
With a smirk, Ye Leng’an stood up abruptly, approaching Ye Wanwan. She channeled spiritual power into her hand and aimed for Ye Wanwan’s dantian.
Unexpectedly, Ye Leng’an possessed cultivation. Others, unaware of her abilities, were shocked by the sudden revelation.
Before Ye Wanwan could react, Ye Leng’an struck, and Ye Wanwan’s resistance proved feeble.
“Ahh!” Ye Wanwan’s screams filled the air, conveying immense pain. She writhed on the ground, feeling the agony in her dantian, along with a pervasive weakness.
Realizing Ye Leng’an had ruined her cultivation, Ye Wanwan knew she could no longer heal herself.
“Ye Leng’an, how dare you!” Ye Yikun bellowed, launching an attack. Witnessing Ye Wanwan losing her cultivation worried him. She was not just a Ye family member but also engaged to Murong Xingrui. If she lost her cultivation, the Murong family might break off the engagement.
Ye Leng’an’s actions not only harmed Ye Wanwan but also jeopardized the alliance between the Ye and Murong families.
Driven by anger, Ye Yikun sought to kill Ye Leng’an. In his eyes, she was no longer his granddaughter but the one who had shattered the family alliance.
“Father, no!” Ye Hongxuan rushed to intervene. Although Ye Leng’an’s actions were inappropriate, she was still his daughter, and he couldn’t bear to see her harmed.
Faster than anyone, Huangfu Ruiling stood in front of Ye Leng’an, directly facing Ye Yikun’s attack.
Ye Yikun paid no heed to Huangfu Ruiling, attacking with full force. However, the unexpected happened – Huangfu Ruiling sent Ye Yikun flying after a brief exchange.
Indeed, he was sent flying.
Ye Yikun barely stabilized himself, sensing a metallic taste in his throat. He struggled to swallow it back.
