Chapter 624 - 624: Confirming the Speculation

The first day of the competition concluded quite early, given the limited participation allowed for each family. Otherwise, those with larger numbers could have employed a wheel battle, ensuring a certain victory. Furthermore, the first round was a knockout, swiftly concluding matches regardless of the level of contestants’ strength.

Returning to the courtyard, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan didn’t head directly to their rooms; instead, they went to a small side hall.

Ye Lengan couldn’t resist stretching, poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then spoke, “Ling, do you think tomorrow’s competition will be as dull as today?”

To her, such contests were genuinely tedious. The fights lacked excitement, mainly due to the participants’ low cultivation levels, leaving her with no desire to watch.

“It should be more thrilling tomorrow.” Huangfu Ruiling chuckled. “However, this family competition focuses on the younger generation. Due to age restrictions, their overall cultivation tends to be modest. Though it might be better tomorrow, it might still seem uninteresting to you.”

Ye Lengan shrugged, expressing helplessness. “l was initially quite intrigued by this family competition. Now, hearing you talk about it, I’m completely disinterested.’

“Then we’ll skip tomorrow,” Huangfu Ruiling suggested. “After all, there are still three days until the finals; we can attend then.”

“Huh? Can we?” Ye Leng’an blinked, looking at Huangfu Ruiling. “The heads of other families have shown up, except you. Is that acceptable?”

“l rarely attend such occasions in normal times,” Huangfu Ruiling casually remarked. “They’re used to it. Moreover, the elders are always present. This event mainly revolves around the younger generation. Even if we don’t appear, it won’t have any impact.”

Hearing Huangfu Ruiling discuss the younger generation, Ye Lengan couldn’t help but chuckle. “You make it sound like we’re old. In the end, we’re still quite young, even younger than many contestants today.”

Huangfu Ruiling laughed, shaking his head before asking about the events of the day. “So, how was today? You haven’t told me yet!’

“l should be the daughter of the Ye family,” Ye Lengan stated indifferently as if narrating someone else’s story. “I’ve used a secret technique to sense a bloodline connection between us.’

“So, it seems you and Ye Wanwan were swapped back then.” Huangfu Ruiling understood. “According to my previous speculation, it should be Lian Zixin who switched you and Ye Wanwan.”

“Has Lian Zixin given birth?” Ye Lengan suddenly asked.

“She has a son and a daughter now,” Huangfu Ruiling replied. “However, according to the investigation, before these two children, she had another child, but it died.’

Since Ye Lengan started suspecting Lian Zixin, he had extensively investigated her. People were still discreetly monitoring Lian Zixin.

“It seems the child who died prematurely should be Ye Wanwan.” Ye Lengan understood. She then wore a sarcastic smile. “She’s scheming well, swapping her child with the Ye family’s so that her child could inherit everything from the Ye family.”

Ye Lengan then turned to Huangfu Ruiling, inquiring about the relationship between Lian Mengzhu and Lian Zixin.

“Although 1 know Lian Mengzhu is my biological mother, I still can’t bring myself to call her ‘mom’ Ye Lengan expressed. “Moreover, despite the blood ties, we haven’t interacted much, let alone developed any feelings.”

“Lian Mengzhu treats Lian Zixin very well,” Huangfu Ruiling explained. “According to the investigation, Lian Mengzhu is much older than Lian Zixin. From a young age, she took good care of her sister. As for how Lian Zixin treats Lian Mengzhu, that’s unclear.”

“Is that so?” Ye Lengan recalled the situation at the Ye family’s residence. “l always felt Lian Zixin was quite jealous of Lian Mengzhu. Are the two sisters treated differently at home?”

“That’s not the case,” Huangfu Ruiling clarified. “Although the Lian family isn’t a top-tier family, it’s still a mid-tier one. Both Lian Mengzhu and Lian Zixin are legitimate descendants of the Lian family, receiving similar treatment within the family. However, the people they married led to vastly different fates. At that time, Ye Hongxuan was still the young master of the Ye family. He had his eye on Lian Mengzhu and actively sought her hand in marriage. On the other hand, Lian Zixin chose the second young master of the declining Yan family and insisted on marrying him. After marriage, their lives took two extreme paths. Now you see the difference between them. Lian Mengzhu became the matriarch of the Ye family, while Lian Zixin married into the declining Yan family. If not for Lian Mengzhu!s support, Lian Zixin’s life would be even more challenging.”

After listening to Huangfu Ruilings explanation, Ye Lengan understood. “So, 1 now roughly understand what happened. Lian Zixin must have been jealous of

Lian Mengzhu, so she switched me with Ye Wanwan.”

“It seems Lian Mengzhu has raised an ingrate,” Huangfu Ruiling remarked. “What are you planning to do about the Ye family now? Do you want to acknowledge your biological parents?”

Ye Lengan did not immediately respond. At this moment, she wasn’t sure what she wanted. Although she had been investigating her origins, she didn’t know how she would feel once she knew who her parents were.

She had previously wondered about her feelings upon discovering her background. Now that she knew all the facts, she felt no excitement. Instead, she remained calm, as if the matter had nothing to do with her. Or perhaps, she had always felt like an outsider.

Seeing Ye Lengan fall into silence, Huangfu Ruiling didn’t press. He couldn’t offer advice on this matter as he wasn’t directly involved. Regardless of Ye Leng’an’s choice, he would stand by her.

After a while, Ye Lengan sighed involuntarily. “Well, I don’t actually know what I want to do. For now, let’s stay put! Even though we know all the facts now, it’s all just speculation on our part without any substantial evidence. Even if we tell Ye Hongxuan and the others, they might not believe us.”

Huangfu Ruiling nodded. “I’ve already assigned someone to keep an eye on Lian Zixin. Shortly after you went to the Ye family, she met with Ye Wanwan outside. I’m not sure what they discussed. However, after that meeting, Ye Wanwan secretly sent someone to the mortal world.”

“So, it seems Ye Wanwan also knows the truth now.” Ye Lengan found it strange. “However, Lian Zixin has been hiding it for so many years. I didn’t expect her to tell Ye Wanwan now.”

“Because Lian Zixin has no influence,” Huangfu Ruiling said indifferently. “The Yan family has declined severely, and even now relies on Lian Zixin’s dowry for support. Due to your probing, Lian Zixin is anxious, but she herself probably doesn’t have the manpower to do anything, so she can only seek help from Ye Wanwan.’

“Now Ye Wanwan should also be feeling uneasy.” Ye Lengan chuckled, “But if she sends someone to investigate, she should find out that the baby from back then is me.’

However, Ye Wanwan would know it was Ye Lengan, not Ye An’an.

Huangfu Ruiling nodded. “As to the Ye family, do you really intend to do nothing?”

“Before leaving the Hidden World, I will find an opportunity to meet with Lian Mengzhu again,” Ye Lengan said after some thought. “l will remind her. Of course, if she suspects anything, she can find out the truth herself.”

Huangfu Ruiling said nothing more.

On the other side, in the Ye family, after a day of watching from the sidelines, even though they were just sitting there, the time was a bit long, so Ye

Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu were also a bit tired.

After returning to their rooms, the two began to talk.

“Hongxuan, did you have a strange feeling today?” Lian Mengzhu seemed to recall something and suddenly spoke, “Today on the square, there was a moment when I had a very strange feeling.”

“It’s like a sudden surge from the depths of the bloodline.” Ye Hongxuan’s eyes flashed with a hint of gloom. “Or, it’s like the bloodline is summoning something.”

“Yes, that’s the feeling.” Lian Mengzhu nodded repeatedly. “It was when Master Huangfu came over to greet us today. I suddenly had this feeling. But it came and went quickly. In a moment, it disappeared. I even thought it was my own illusion.’

“The actions of Master Huangfu today were also strange. He came over to greet us specially, but didn’t say anything else,” Ye Hongxuan said with a low voice. “I always feel that he should know something, or more precisely, he is hiding something from us.”

Of course, this matter was definitely related to them. Otherwise, he wouldn’t use the words ‘hiding’ to describe it..
