While Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an were having lunch, a sudden ringtone interrupted their conversation. It was Huangfu Ruiling’s phone.

Glancing at the number on the screen, Huangfu Ruiling answered the call, his tone cold, “What’s the matter?”

Ye Leng’an was unable to hear the conversation on the other end, but she saw Huangfu Ruiling’s brows furrow visibly, his expression darkening.

After the call ended, Ye Leng’an put down her chopsticks, looking at Huangfu Ruiling with curiosity. “Is something wrong? You don’t look too good!”

Huangfu Ruiling glanced at Ye Leng’an, his brows still knitted. “Rumors have spread in the Hidden World claiming you’re Ye Hongxuan’s biological daughter.”

“What?” Ye Leng’an frowned upon hearing this. “From the Ye family? Are they willing to reveal Ye Wanwan’s ident.i.ty? And what about her marriage to the Murong family?”

Shaking his head, Huangfu Ruiling continued, “The rumor is that you and Ye Wanwan are twins, but you were stolen at birth.”

“Heh!” Ye Leng’an scoffed. “The Ye family has quite the scheme! Trying to force me back while still pursuing Ye Wanwan’s marriage to Murong Xingrui.”

“That’s probably Ye Yikun’s doing,” Huangfu Ruiling speculated, “Without his approval, the Ye family wouldn’t spread such rumors.”

“He’s quite cunning.” Ye Leng’an sneered. “But he forgot about me. If they want to benefit, they’ll have to ask if I’m willing. ”

Huangfu Ruiling continued, “Actually, even if you’re unwilling to return to the Ye family, they can still benefit from these rumors. At least those families friendly with the Huangfu family will give the Ye family some face due to our reputation.”

“Truly scheming.” A hint of sarcasm flashed in Ye Lengan’s eyes. “Unfortunately, I’m not someone they can manipulate easily. If they want to gain from me, it depends on my willingness. Otherwise, they’ll have to return as much as they take.”

Huangfu Ruiling asked, “What do you plan to do? Clarify the rumors?”

“Can they be clarified?” Ye Leng’an smiled coldly. “The Ye family spread these rumors knowing I won’t clarify. Because the truth is, I am Ye Hongxuan’s daughter. That’s a fact.”

Nodding, Huangfu Ruiling asked, “What’s your next step?”

“I’ll personally visit the Ye family.” Ye Leng’an blinked innocently. “I think it’s time I had a chat with my dear grandfather.”

“When do you plan to go?” Huangfu Ruiling immediately began planning how to accompany her back to the Hidden World.

“In a few days,” Ye Leng’an replied indifferently. “I still have three days of alchemy to do. I won’t change my plans for this.”

Though she found the Ye family’s matter repulsive, she didn’t let it bother her much. The Ye family held little significance for her beyond a mere blood tie.

Relieved by Ye Leng’an’s response, Huangfu Ruiling realized the matter wasn’t significant to her.

“By the way, Ling, you don’t need to accompany me,” Ye Leng’an said. “I can manage alone.”

Frowning, Huangfu Ruiling disagreed. “I’ll go with you. In case…”

“It’ll be fine,” Ye Leng’an cut him off. “It’s a minor issue. I planned to return the same day. You don’t need to come.”

Though Huangfu Ruiling wanted to argue, he relented after seeing Ye Leng’an’s determination. He understood this wasn’t a major concern. Ye Yikun wouldn’t dare harm Ye Leng’an, and her strength surpa.s.sed the Ye family’s.

While the Ye family matter didn’t affect their mood, Huangfu Ruiling decided to spend the afternoon with Ye Leng’an, knowing they wouldn’t have time together for the next few days.

They went shopping and watched a movie like any other couple until returning home after dinner.

The next morning, Ye Leng’an headed straight to the alchemy room after breakfast.

Seeing Ye Leng’an enter, Sister Li didn’t object. She knew she couldn’t enter without her permission and didn’t dare risk it.

She had entered a few times before, each time feeling somewhat uneasy. On one hand, there were many precious medicinal herbs inside, and she worried that accidentally damaging them would be difficult to explain. However, there was another, more critical aspect: the presence of numerous poisonous herbs. She feared that one wrong move could lead to poisoning and endanger her life.

One time, she saw a fat golden worm inside, cute but dangerous. She avoided the room unless necessary.
