Chapter 1018: Revenge

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Early the next morning, Ye Leng’an saw Huangfu Ruiling waiting for her outside the door as soon as she got out of bed. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

“What’s going on?” Seeing Huangfu Ruiling waiting at the door, Ye Leng’an stretched and joked, “Did you mess up and now you’re here to apologize bright and early?”

Of course, it was just a joke.

Huangfu Ruiling looked at her, serious, and said, “I got news this morning that Ye Yikun passed away in the middle of the night.”

Ye Leng’an’s stretching paused briefly, then resumed as usual. “Really? Well, he died right on time.”

Everyone in the Hidden World was after Ye Yikun now, waiting to see what would happen to him. It could be imagined that his end wasn’t going to be pretty. Now that he had gone, it was a clean slate.

Seeing Ye Leng’an’s nonchalant reaction, Huangfu Ruiling continued, “I’ve already had the Enforcement Team send Ye Yikun’s body back to the Ye family. What they do with it is no concern of ours.”

Ye Leng’an nodded and brushed off the matter. “Anyway, the weather’s nice today. How about we go for a stroll in the suburbs? We’ll be heading back to the mortal world soon, so let’s make the most of these days!”

“Sounds good.” Huangfu Ruiling never opposed her ideas. But he added, “We’ll have to wait until this afternoon though. I have a meeting.”

“With whom?” Ye Leng’an was curious. She smirked. “Some beautiful woman you don’t want me to know about?”

“Come on!” Huangfu Ruiling lightly tapped her forehead, laughing. “I’m meeting Nangong Xuyao.”

Ye Leng’an’s eyes widened. “You’re meeting Nangong Xuyao?”

No wonder she was surprised. Before, she had just bumped into Nangong Xuyao, and Huangfu Ruiling got jealous. Now, Huangfu Ruiling had arranged to meet him. That seemed pretty odd. Was this his way of asserting dominance over Nangong Xuyao?

Seeing Ye Leng’an’s puzzled look, Huangfu Ruiling laughed. He playfully tapped her forehead. “What are you thinking?”

“Nothing.” Ye Leng’an blinked innocently. Then, she switched to a confident tone. “I’m just curious why you’re meeting Nangong Xuyao. You didn’t seem too happy about him before.”

That was a rather subtle way of putting it. Every time Nangong Xuyao came up, Huangfu Ruiling got jealous.

Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes gleamed with intent. “Just want to talk about the Zhongyu family with him. He has some skills. I reckon he could take on Master Zhongyu. Plus, he’s Zhongyu Jiarui’s fiancé, practically family, isn’t he?”

“You want to back Nangong Xuyao.” Ye Leng’an understood his intentions. “Because of what happened before?”

“Master Zhongyu has too much time on his hands, so he’s plotting against us with Ye Yikun.” Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes darkened. “In that case, why not keep him busy with something else?”

With the Zhongyu family in turmoil, there wouldn’t be time for all these petty schemes.

And there was another thing he didn’t say. Once Nangong Xuyao took action, he’d be locked in with Zhongyu Jiarui for good. If Nangong Xuyao gained power, he’d only be Zhongyu Jiarui’s husband, no matter what. Otherwise, Nangong Xuyao would lose everything he’d gained.

Of course, Huangfu Ruiling had full trust in Ye Leng’an. He knew Ye Leng’an didn’t have any romantic feelings for Nangong Xuyao. In fact, to her, Nangong Xuyao was almost like a stranger.

But he didn’t like seeing Nangong Xuyao around Ye Leng’an. After all, he was a man too, and he couldn’t shake the feeling that Nangong Xuyao might have some feelings for Ye Leng’an, especially considering that Ye Leng’an had saved his life.

Ye Leng’an was unaware of Huangfu Ruiling’s schemes. She gave Huangfu Ruiling a thumbs-up but then voiced her doubts, “Nangong Xuyao doesn’t stand a chance against Master Zhongyu. Will he really go along with this plan? If he fails, he’ll lose everything he’s gained in the Zhongyu family.”

“He’ll agree.” Huangfu Ruiling smirked. “For Nangong Xuyao, this is a high-stakes gamble. Lose, and he loses everything. But if he wins, he could gain at least half the power of the Zhongyu family. It’s too tempting for him.”

And if Nangong Xuyao was okay with settling for less, he wouldn’t have passed that note to Ye Leng’an. Ye Leng’an nodded and grinned. “No matter what, the Zhongyu family is going to pay a hefty price. That’s sufficient.”

She wondered where Master Zhongyu got the audacity to plot against them like this.

“What about Master Murong?” Ye Leng’an suddenly remembered another player. “What’s the move there?”

“Do you have any thoughts?” Huangfu Ruiling cut to the chase, raising an eyebrow.

“I reckon Master Murong is siding with Ye Yikun because of their marriage alliance,” Ye Leng’an stated, adopting a righteous expression. “Given his loyalty, he must be satisfied with this marriage. So, despite the Ye family’s tarnished reputation, I doubt Master Murong will call off the engagement. What do you think?”

Huangfu Ruiling immediately got what Ye Leng’an meant and nodded. “You’re right. Since both families value this marriage so much, we should get them married as soon as possible.”

Ye Leng’an’s eyes lit up, and she nodded eagerly.

They settled on the matter with ease, skipping any consultation with the involved parties.
