After departing from the Ye family, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an returned to the Huangfu family. Given the severed ties with the Ye family and their public exit, Huangfu Ruiling opted not to remain in the wheelchair.
Witnessing the pair entering the Huangfu family, the disciples were astounded. When Huangfu Ruiling left, he was wheelchair-bound, yet upon his return, he stood tall. Moreover, both walked towards the family head’s courtyard, successfully gaining entry.
Entering the family head’s courtyard wasn’t a casual affair; it was guarded by a forbidden spell. Nevertheless, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an effortlessly made their way in. Reflecting on their names, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an – Huangfu Ling and Ye An’an – one could easily draw connections.
Swiftly, news of Huangfu Ruiling assuming the role of the Huangfu family’s head, Huangfu Ling, spread throughout the entire clan and beyond.
Grand Elder Huangfu Haochang, upon hearing the news, inadvertently sprayed out the tea he was sipping. Hastily, he made his way to Huangfu Ruiling’s courtyard.
Indeed, in the outer courtyard, he witnessed Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an enjoying tea leisurely. They appeared carefree, sipping tea, nibbling on snacks, and chatting as if unaware of the speculations outside.
“Grand Elder, what brings you here at this time?” Ye Leng’an, observing Huangfu Haochang not far away, raised her eyebrows and teased, “Could it be you’re here for a cup of tea?”
After a glance at Huangfu Haochang, Huangfu Ruiling withdrew his gaze, saying nothing.
Huangfu Haochang, seated, remarked, “You two seem oblivious. Do you not know what’s happening outside?”
“Huh?” Ye Leng’an’s eyes flashed with doubt. “We haven’t done anything!”
Despite causing a commotion at the Ye family, the matter shouldn’t have spread so quickly. Moreover, the Ye family would likely attempt to cover up such an embarrassing incident.
Without ceremony, Huangfu Haochang poured himself tea before continuing, “It concerns the family head. Almost everyone in the Huangfu family now knows that Huangfu Ruiling is the family head, Huangfu Ling.”
He then drank the tea, and his eyes widened in shock. The tea seemed to open his pores, absorbing spiritual energy. The fragrance indicated that the tea was extraordinary. Pouring another cup, Huangfu Haochang savored it, saying, “Excellent tea!”
“This is herbal tea.” Ye Leng’an smiled. “Grand Elder, if you like it, I’ll pack some for you when we leave later.”
The Grand Elder’s eyes lit up. “That’s wonderful. Thank you, Miss Ye.”
He marveled at the fortune of the family head in finding such a remarkable fiancée. When Miss Ye became the matriarch, the Huangfu family was bound to thrive.
Ye Leng’an grinned. “Grand Elder, do you think people outside already know Ling’s true identity?”
“Yes.” The Grand Elder nodded. “When Master returned, he didn’t hide anything and came straight to this courtyard. How could those outside not have guessed it? But…”
At this point, he turned to Huangfu Ruiling, asking, “Master, you don’t intend to continue hiding, right?”
“There’s nothing to hide,” Huangfu Ruiling said casually. “Previously, I just didn’t want to deal with some trivial matters, so I always wore a mask. Now that they know, it’s fine.”
He had never considered hiding anything; it was all a matter of coincidence. Even if others knew, he didn’t find it significant.
Hearing Huangfu Ruiling’s words, Huangfu Haochang sighed in relief. Pride crossed his face as he said, “We should let those outside know that our Huangfu family’s head is young, promising, and possesses formidable cultivation. It’ll inform them that our Huangfu family will only grow stronger.”
In the Hidden World, only the Huangfu family had such a young family head, and his cultivation was powerful and mysterious.
Even when several elders joined forces, they couldn’t be certain of holding their ground against the family head. Moreover, that was without the family head deploying any hidden cards. If the family head were to truly use the trump cards at his disposal, it was likely that the entire Huangfu family wouldn’t stand a chance.
After the Grand Elder’s words, Ye Leng’an found it amusing. “It can’t be that exaggerated! Even if they knew Huangfu Ruiling was the head of the Huangfu family, it would only be a topic of discussion outside.”
The Grand Elder didn’t elaborate, merely smiling and shaking his head. Then, he suggested, “Master, since you’ve revealed your identity, wouldn’t it be better for you and Miss Ye to hold a grand engagement ceremony?”
Though the entire Huangfu family knew that Miss Ye was the Master’s fiancée, an engagement ceremony was still necessary. It was a declaration of sovereignty to those outside, informing them who the future matriarch of the Huangfu family would be.
