“Brother, I…” Huangfu Ruixiang began, gathering his courage and lifting his head to look at Huangfu Ruiling, intending to speak up.
However, before he could even start, he was promptly cut off.
“I won’t show favoritism,” Huangfu Ruiling interjected directly, halting Huangfu Ruixiang’s words. “After spending so much time cultivating within the family, if you can’t even pass such a simple assessment, then there’s no point in staying and wasting resources.”
“But,” Huangfu Ruixiang persisted, “I’m your younger brother. Can’t you help me just this once?”
Regardless, they were blood brothers. He didn’t desire treasures or lofty positions within the Huangfu family. He simply wished to stay and cultivate within the family. Even being just a humble inner sect disciple would suffice.
Was such a modest wish too much to ask for?
“It’s already generous of you to remain within the Huangfu family as an inner disciple,” Huangfu Ruiling stated indifferently. “This is the Hidden World, where cultivation resources are scarce. If you lack the talent for cultivation and the drive to improve, there’s no need for you to stay here. There are many other disciples in the family who also require these resources.”
These words left Huangfu Ruixiang speechless, unable to retort.
Ignoring both Huangfu Ruixiang and Zhong Yating, Huangfu Ruiling took Ye Leng’an’s hand and walked away.
Watching Huangfu Ruiling depart, Huangfu Ruixiang’s heart brimmed with discontent. He knew encountering Huangfu Ruiling here today was purely luck.
Huangfu Ruiling was the head of the Huangfu family, while he was just a simple inner disciple – there was a stark difference in their statuses. He rarely even had the opportunity to meet Huangfu Ruiling. Allowing Huangfu Ruiling to leave today would make it even less likely to encounter him in the future.
Yet, Huangfu Ruiling had made his stance clear, even ruthlessly so. Continuing to press on would be undignified.
As Huangfu Ruixiang hesitated, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an disappeared down the corridor.
Seeing Huangfu Ruixiang’s sour mood, Zhong Yating quickly offered comfort. “Ruixiang, don’t dwell on it too much. There’s still time before the family’s assessment. With proper training, you’ll surely pass.”
After a comfortable period in the mortal world as a member of the Huangfu family, Zhong Yating had lost her motivation to cultivate diligently. She even thought it would be fine if Huangfu Ruixiang failed the assessment and returned home. The only downside was dealing with Li Yiran and the illegitimate child in the mortal world.
“You know nothing!” Huangfu Ruixiang’s eyes flared as he glared at Zhong Yating. “What right do you have to say such things? If not for me, you wouldn’t even qualify as an inner sect disciple.”
He unloaded all the frustration he received from Huangfu Ruiling onto Zhong Yating. He even felt that if he had married another woman who could help his future instead of Zhong Yating, he wouldn’t be in this predicament now.
With these thoughts, Huangfu Ruixiang left abruptly.
Left behind, Zhong Yating felt unfairly treated. She had done nothing wrong, merely offering solace to Huangfu Ruixiang, yet she faced his disdain.
Nevertheless, she didn’t regret marrying Huangfu Ruixiang. She knew what she wanted. Only by marrying him could she live the life she dreamt of.
After gathering her thoughts, Zhong Yating quickly followed.
She and Huangfu Ruixiang were now married. Even if she wasn’t an inner sect disciple, she could still reside with him in the inner sect.
Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an returned to the main courtyard.
Having instructed not to be disturbed upon their return, no elders came to bother them, showing tactfulness.
Upon entering, Ye Leng’an noticed an exquisite invitation on the main courtyard’s table.
“Is this from the Ye family?” Ye Leng’an asked.
Approaching, she picked up the invitation and opened it. “We didn’t even invite the Ye family to our engagement banquet. I didn’t expect Ye Yikun to send us an invitation to his supposed birthday celebration!”
“It’s likely to show outsiders that the relationship between the Ye family and the Huangfu family isn’t strained,” Huangfu Ruiling remarked casually. “Because we didn’t invite the Ye family to our engagement ceremony, many are speculating about our relationship.”
Ye Leng’an examined the date of the birthday celebration. “It’s in two days. Seems we’re on a tight schedule!”
“We still have two days, plenty of time,” Huangfu Ruiling said nonchalantly. “Besides, even if we can’t make it, the Grand Elder will arrange it. Someone will investigate then.”
“Even if the Grand Elder sends someone, it’s uncertain if they’ll find anything,” Ye Leng’an remarked casually, placing the invitation back. “It’s better if we go ourselves. At least we’ll know what’s happening.”
Regarding the matter of visiting the Ye family, she didn’t have any particular feelings. Of course, even though she knew her own background and had gone through so much, she couldn’t possibly feel any sense of belonging to the Ye family.
Huangfu Ruiling nodded. “After the Ye family’s celebration, I need to visit the enforcement team.”
“Any progress on the matter of the evil cultivator?” Ye Leng’an asked, understandingly. “Have they found anything?”
“They might have found something, but progress seems limited.” Huangfu Ruiling shook his head gently. “If there were any significant breakthroughs, they would’ve reported immediately. They’ve only found some minor details, so it shouldn’t be anything critical.”
Hearing this, Ye Leng’an felt a bit disappointed. “I thought we’d soon find out who’s behind all this!”
