Chapter 817: Meeting Ye Yikun

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Although Ye Wanwan had her grandfather’s backing and Ye Leng’an’s return shouldn’t affect her status, she still worried, especially since Ye Leng’an was not only a true descendant of the Ye family but also engaged to Huangfu Ruiling.

Thinking of Huangfu Ruiling made her heart ache with anger. She had been the first to set her sights on Huangfu Ruiling, but Ye Leng’an had snatched him away in the end. If it weren’t for Ye Leng’an, she would be Huangfu Ruiling’s fiancée now. With that title, she wouldn’t even care about being the Ye family’s young lady.

If Ye Leng’an returned, her parents would inevitably side with Ye Leng’an. She genuinely feared losing her parents’ love. Even if she continued to feign helplessness, it wouldn’t be a sustainable strategy.

However, she was grateful for one thing: her grandfather would always support her. She had that confidence. After all, her grandfather…

Just as Ye Wanwan was lost in thought, she heard the servant report that Ye Leng’an had gone to see her grandfather once again.

Upon hearing this news, her initial panic subsided. She had a feeling that Ye Leng’an’s meeting with her grandfather would be unpleasant.

With that in mind, she couldn’t help but smile. She ordered someone to discreetly watch Ye Yikun’s courtyard from afar and report any developments immediately.

On the other side, Ye Leng’an followed the servant to Ye Yikun’s courtyard.

As Ye Leng’an entered the courtyard, she glanced around and couldn’t help but smirk knowingly.

Although Ye Hongxuan was the current head of the Ye family, it was clear that Ye Yikun still held the reins. Just looking at the courtyard confirmed it. Though Ye Hongxuan and his wife resided in the main courtyard, this was undoubtedly the best courtyard in the entire Ye family.

Stepping into this courtyard, one could feel a dense spiritual energy, far surpassing that of the entire Ye family. Cultivating here would undoubtedly yield remarkable results.

Moreover, precious spiritual plants were scattered throughout the courtyard, perhaps the most valuable ones in the Ye family.

Soon, guided by the servant, Ye Leng’an arrived at a pavilion in the courtyard, where he saw Ye Yikun enjoying tea at a stone table.

After the servant left, leaving only Ye Yikun and Ye Leng’an in the vast courtyard.

Because normally, the old master wouldn’t casually allow anyone in. So, she didn’t dare to delay, fearing it might anger the old master, and even more so, fearing she might hear things she shouldn’t. At that point, it might even cost her her life. After all, this was the Hidden World, where some lives were deemed worthless.

Ye Leng’an wasted no time. She walked over and sat down in front of Ye Yikun before the latter could speak.

Ye Yikun initially remained silent, intending to exert his authority and unsettle Ye Leng’an.

Seeing Ye Leng’an’s sudden visit to the Ye family today, Ye Yikun felt that she had acquiesced and intended to return to the Ye family. He wasn’t surprised by her decision.

Though Ye Leng’an was now engaged to Huangfu Ruiling, establishing herself in the Huangfu family solely on Huangfu Ruiling’s favor was no easy feat, especially given the stature of the Huangfu family. Only with a powerful maternal family backing her could Ye Leng’an thrive in the Huangfu family.

By spreading such news, Ye Yikun provided Ye Leng’an with a graceful exit.

Ye Leng’an’s visit today confirmed the success of his plan. Ye Leng’an’s return to the Ye family was beneficial for both parties.

Ye Leng’an would have the Ye family’s support, and the Ye family would receive assistance from the Huangfu family.

However, Ye Yikun didn’t expect Ye Leng’an to display such rudeness. Before he could speak, Ye Leng’an seated herself directly opposite, displaying no manners.

“Ye Leng’an!” Ye Yikun frowned, his tone tinged with displeasure. “Do you realize how uncouth your behavior is?”

“Does that concern you?” Ye Leng’an shrugged nonchalantly. “Old Master Ye, do you know why I’ve come to the Ye residence today?”

Upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s words, Ye Yikun smirked disdainfully. “Of course, I know your intentions. As a member of the Ye family, it’s only natural for you to return. However, Ye Leng’an, you must improve your demeanor. Otherwise, people will think poorly of the Ye family.”

Ye Leng’an’s return was advantageous for the Ye family. However, Ye Yikun found Ye Leng’an’s wild nature distasteful, especially considering Ye Leng’an’s ruthless actions in the past, like crippling Ye Wanwan’s Dantian.

If not for the Huangfu family’s face, Ye Yikun wouldn’t even allow Ye Leng’an to step foot in the Ye family. However, if Ye Leng’an returned, she would have to obey. She needed to shed her bad habits quickly.

“Pfft!” Ye Leng’an chuckled as if amused. “Old Master Ye, you overestimate the Ye family. Do you think everyone wants to join you? Even if they did, I wouldn’t.”

“You…” Ye Yikun’s anger was palpable at Ye Leng’an’s sarcastic remark. He slammed his teacup on the table and narrowed his eyes. When he looked at Ye Leng’an, his dissatisfaction was evident. “Ye Leng’an, if you look down on the Ye family, why did you come today? There’s no need to pretend. We all know what you’re thinking. Also, don’t try to test my limits. Without my approval, you’ll have no place in the Ye family.”

“Oh, really?” Ye Leng’an’s indifference was apparent. “So what? Do you think I care? Also, when Ye Hongxuan sent someone to inform you earlier, didn’t he tell you the real reason for my visit today?”
