Ye Leng’an nodded and said, “However, compared to the Hidden World, I’m more concerned about the mortal world. After all, the mortal world is larger. I think Duo Ji t s matter is not an isolated case.”
“I’ve already sent people to investigate in the mortal world,” Huangfu Ruiling said. “It’s just that there’s no news yet.”
While they were conversing, Li San returned with the results of the search conducted by their subordinates.
“Master, Miss Ye, within a radius of many miles, there are no traces. Most importantly, there were no corpses or bones. However, not far away, there’s a cliff. I speculate that those bodies might be at the bottom of the cliff.”
After pondering for a moment, Huangfu Ruiling instructed, “Then send someone down to search as soon as possible. At the same time, investigate the cultivators who have inexplicably disappeared in the past hundred years.” “I’ll do it immediately,” Li San replied before leaving.
When Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan returned to the Huangfu family, it was already evening. After a busy day, the two of them were somewhat tired. After having a meal, they went to rest.
The next day, Ye Lengan still showed no interest in the Family Competition. If she didn’t attend, Huangfu Ruiling naturally wouldn’t attend either.
Therefore, the two main seats at the Huangfu family’s table remained empty.
However, others didn’t find it strange to see these empty seats since the head of the Huangfu family was frequently absent.
Nevertheless, there was still much curiosity about the fiancée of Mater Huangfu. Huangfu Lings fiancée seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, and no one had heard anything about her before. Therefore, everyone was intrigued about her identity.
Especially when they learned that her surname was Ye, many people started asking the Ye family. When they found out that the fiancée wasn’t from the Ye family, everyone was a bit surprised.
Regardless of the various speculations, most of the attention remained on the Family Competition. This was because the outcome of the competition was linked to a spirit stone mine, and everyone was prepared for the contest.
It was already the third day of the competition, and the Huangfu family was leading. People from other families naturally felt a bit uneasy.
Spirit stone mines were scarce, and this particular one had proven to be excellent after exploration. Who wouldn’t want to secure the mining rights first?
The Huangfu family was now subtly positioned above the other families. If they managed to obtain the spirit stone mine, they would undoubtedly become the foremost clan in the Hidden World within a few years.
Such a situation wasn’t something the heads of the other nine great families wanted to see.
However, the Huangfu family’s elders were all wearing satisfied smiles. It was clear they were content with the current results.
Ye Wanwan had just completed a match and returned to her seat. Unsurprisingly, she had won.
Although her expression didn’t reveal much, it was evident she was pleased with her performance.
Ye Hongxuan looked at Ye Wanwan and nodded approvingly. He then offered a reminder. “Wanwan, your performance these few days has been very good. But remember, you must not be arrogant, understand?”
“Father, don’t worry.” Ye Wanwan nodded and smiled. “Although I’ve won these few matches, I’m well aware that I haven’t reached the end yet. I haven’t encountered a truly strong opponent. There’s always someone better than you.
I still understand that principle.”
Ye Hongxuan didn’t say anything more after hearing Ye Wanwan’s response. However, his appreciative expression indicated he was satisfied with her reply.
Standing on the side, Lian Mengzhu looked at Ye Wanwan’s demeanor and spoke with a smile, “During this period, Wanwan has really grown a lot! Your father and 1 are very pleased.”
Even though they didn’t know the reason, their daughter had indeed changed significantly during this period, and it was a positive development. Therefore, the couple was genuinely happy..
