Although Huangfu Ruiling wasn’t aware of the method Ye Lengan intended to use for verification, he nodded and responded, “The Family Competition is about to begin. Ye Hongxuan and his wife will attend together.”
For such a pivotal event like the Family Competition, the heads of major families were expected to attend. While they couldn’t participate in the competition, their keen interest led them to be present.
Previously, Huangfu Ruiling seldom attended such occasions. Typically, it was the Grand Elder of the Huangfu family who took the lead. The reason for Huangfu Ruilings attendance this time was twofold: first, because Ye Lengan wished to witness it, and second, due to the lavish rewards promised for this Family Competition.
“That’s good.” Ye Lengan nodded, continuing, “I’ll inform you of the results after I’ve confirmed it.’
Upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s assurance, Huangfu Ruiling refrained from further inquiries. “Since you suspect the woman in black to be Lian Zixin, I’ll dispatch someone to investigate whether she left the Hidden World seventeen years ago.”
“It’s been 17 years; investigating might not be simple.” Ye Lengan nodded. “However, if it’s confirmed that she indeed left the Hidden World, her suspicion intensifies.”
The bracelet, with the engraved letters “ZX” matching Lian Zixin’s initials, heightened her suspicion.
“Don’t worry; it’s not challenging to trace,” Huangfu Ruiling explained with a smile. “At the entrance and exit of the Hidden World, there are image stones recording the comings and goings, stored in the Enforcement Team’s archives. These recordings are cleared every hundred years, with three years left until the next clearing. Therefore, we still have recordings from seventeen years ago.”
Ye Leng’an’s eyes brightened upon hearing Huangfu Ruilings explanation. “l hadn’t anticipated that! It seems I arrived in the Hidden World at the right time. If I had come three years later, finding evidence might have been impossible.”
Huangfu Ruiling smiled and continued, “Actually if you’re eager for answers, why not take the initiative?”
“Take the initiative?” Ye Lengan was puzzled. “You mean…”
“Considering you have a bracelet that might belong to Lian Zixin.” Huangfu Ruiling suggested, “Why not return it directly to her?”
With this suggestion, Ye Leng’an’s eyes lit up as she quickly grasped the implication. “Moreover, it would be best if I personally hand it to Lian Zixin. If the bracelet indeed belongs to her, she’ll likely become flustered. If she panics, it’ll be easier for her to reveal her true colors.”
Huangfu Ruiling nodded. “When desperate, she’ll likely make impulsive moves. By keeping an eye on her, our investigation will proceed more smoothly when she acts.”
“I never expected such a fruitful outcome in the Hidden World!” Ye Leng’an’s lips curled into an intrigued smile. “It seems I made the right choice to come this time.’
Initially, her curiosity about the Hidden World and the allure of the Family Competition had driven her visit. Little did she anticipate such an unexpected revelation.
Even though she had always been curious about her background, she never imagined its connection to the Hidden World.
Huangfu Ruiling raised an eyebrow and asked, “What do you plan to do after confirming your identity?”
“l don’t know, but there’ll be a way,” Ye Lengan replied casually, extending her hands. “You know, I’ve lived through three lifetimes, so my desire for familial ties isn’t strong. I’ve been investigating all this time merely to provide myself with an answer.”
“So, even if you discover who your biological parents are, you don’t intend to acknowledge them?”
Though Ye Lengan didn’t explicitly state it, Huangfu Ruiling had likely already deduced the identity of Ye Leng’an’s biological parents. Nevertheless, a thorough investigation was required to understand how Ye Lengan arrived in the mortal world. Regarding Lian Zixin, if she was indeed involved, the nature of her role needed clarification..
