“No, Ye Leng’an. You mustn’t inform Master Hhuangfu,” Yuan Silei pleaded urgently. She even attempted to reach for Ye Leng’an’s hand, but she skillfully avoided her. Looking at Ye Lengan, her tone softened compared to before, “If you tell him, our family is truly done for.”

“The fate of your family rests entirely on your decision.” Ye Lengan gazed at Yuan Silei and calmly stated, “I’ve said it before, treat me as a stranger. However, it seems you haven’t taken my words to heart. You’ve caused me trouble, so I should gain some interest in return.”

“Ye Lengan, I promise I will never appear before you again.” Yuan Silei quickly grasped Ye Leng’an’s meaning. Her expression showed no fear, but she still assured her, “Even if I see you from a distance, I’ll avoid you. Is that acceptable?”

Though she was aware that Ye Lengan might be the only one capable of curing her illness, when it came to the survival of the family business, she had no choice but to yield.

Without the family business, her future would be bleak. If the family enterprise persisted, even if she couldn’t have children in the future, she would still have a refuge.

Most importantly, she could sense that Ye Lengan had no intention of assisting her. Her current plight was all in the pursuit of resurrecting the family business. If, in the end, the family business faced problems, all her struggles would be utterly meaningless.

Thus, she had no alternative but to agree.

“As long as you keep your promise, I can treat it as if we never met,” Ye Lengan calmly stated. “Yuan Silei, we can’t deny that we may have been friends in the past, even if there was an ulterior motive. From now on, let’s be strangers! ”

Despite her internal discontent and frustration, the current circumstances did not permit her to act willfully. Yuan Silei could only nod in agreement.

“Ye Lengan, now that we’re strangers, there’s one thing I hope you’ll promise.” Yuan Silei looked at Ye Lengan. “l want you to swear that you won’t disclose the information I shared about that mysterious woman.”

“Are you saving…” Ye Leng’an squinted. her expression inscrutable.

“You must promise me this,” Yuan Silei urgently implored, “If you reveal it, our entire family will be in jeopardy. Since we’re strangers now, can’t you leave us with a way out?”

After hearing Yuan Silei’s words, a trace of understanding flashed in Ye Lengan’s eyes. She nodded. “l won’t divulge this information.

Evidently, Ye Wanwan had used Yuan Silei’s family’s lives as leverage to threaten her. That explained Yuan Silei!s fear. However, even though Yuan Silei had assisted Ye Wanwan in harming her this time, it didn’t amount to sacrificing her entire family.

Cultivators emphasized karma. If Yuan Silei’s family faced calamity because she leaked information to Ye Wanwan, it would impede her future cultivation.

Therefore, agreeing to Yuan Silei’s request was acceptable. However, other matters were non-negotiable.

In the end, Yuan Silei could only leave in despair.

She looked back repeatedly while walking, but in the end, there was still no hope. At this moment, she couldn’t help but think that if she hadn’t stood on Ye Xiyuan’s side in the beginning, all of this wouldn’t have happened today! If she and Ye Lengan were still friends, then if something happened to her family, Ye Lengan would definitely not turn a blind eye. That mysterious woman wouldn’t have taken advantage of the situation, and she wouldn’t have ended up like this.

Not only that, Ye Lengan was also the girlfriend of the head of the Huangfu family. If she was still Ye Leng’an’s good friend, she could also get to know the people of the four major families through Ye Lengan. She might even have the chance to marry into the four major families.

However, there were no ifs in this world.

The reality was that she had fallen out with Ye Lengan. Her body was crippled, and she no longer had the possibility of becoming a mother.

Most importantly, she had to be on tenterhooks every day, worried that the mysterious woman would come looking for trouble with her.

On the other side, after Yuan Silei left, Ye Lengan frowned.

She hadn’t expected Ye Wanwan to be so audacious. Not only did she dispatch people to the mortal world to exploit Yuan Silei, but now she was openly and brazenly threatening Yuan Silei. If the information were leaked, it would cost the lives of Yuan Silei’s family.

Ye Wanwan’s actions were simply defying the Hidden World’s rules.

Thinking of this, Ye Lengan called Huangfu Ruiling directly.

It only took a few seconds for the call to be picked up.

“Why are you looking for me at this time?” Huangfu Ruilings deep voice came from the other end of the phone. “Did you miss me?”

Although she was mentally prepared, when she heard Huangfu Ruilings voice, she could not help but think of the proposal from the previous night. For a moment, her heart beat a little faster, and she felt a hot breath on her face.

Huangfu Ruilings voice sounded again as if he heard the heartbeat on the other end of the phone, “An’an, are you nervous?”

“How is that possible?” Ye Lengan subconsciously retorted, “It’s not a big deal.

Why would I be nervous?”

That was right, it was just a proposal. What was there to be nervous about? The one who proposed wasn’t nervous, so why should she be nervous? Besides, she and Huangfu Ruiling had been dating for some time, so it was natural.

After hearing Ye Leng’an’s words, Huangfu Ruiling laughed softly. “Alright, you’re not nervous. I’m the one who’s nervous.”

“That’s right, it’s you.” Ye Lengan’s eyes darted around, and her tone carried a hint of slyness. “l wonder who it is. He even prepared several plans for a marriage proposal! ”

“It’s me.” Huangfu Ruilings tone was filled with endless pampering. “So, Mrs.

Huangfu, are you calling now to check on me?”

Ye Lengan could not help but roll her eyes. However, when she realized that the other party could not see her at all, she immediately restrained herself. Then, she said, “Ling, when are we going to the Hidden World? I think it’s better to settle this matter as soon as possible..”
