Chapter 846: Jaw-Dropping News

However, now that the main figure had left, what purpose did he have in staying?

Huangfu Jingzhang cursed Zhongyu Lingshan inwardly for wasting his time. If he had known, he wouldn’t have bothered to come and subject himself to this.

With Zhongyu Lingshan gone and Zhongyu Liuying looking pale, seemingly on the verge of fainting, coupled with Huangfu Ruiling’s aloof aura, Huangfu Jingzhang had no desire to linger any longer. Thus, without saying a word, he stood up and left.

Huangfu Ruixiang and Zhong Yating, who had accompanied them, were also unaware of Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying’s intentions. Their purpose was simple: to build rapport with Huangfu Ruiling. Seeing everyone else leave, they too felt it was best to take their leave.

The group came and went in haste.

In just a few moments, only Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an remained in the spacious living room.

Seeing everyone depart, Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but chuckle. “They certainly left in a hurry! Barely exchanged a few words before taking off.”

Amused, Huangfu Ruiling shook his head at Ye Leng’an’s remark, then jokingly suggested, “Should we call them back and have New Year’s Eve dinner together?”

“Nah.” Ye Leng’an shrugged with a smile. “I barely know them. On a day like today, I’d rather not have such a dull dinner.”

Normally, she might not have minded, but today she just wanted to be comfortable. As for others, it was none of her concern.

Moreover, Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying didn’t seem genuinely interested in reuniting. Anyone observant could see through their intentions. Perhaps only they thought they were being subtle.

“That sounds perfect.” Huangfu Ruiling couldn’t resist reaching out to tousle her hair. A hint of tenderness flickered in his eyes. “Just being together like this is enough for a day like today. In the future, let’s spend every day like this.”

“Of course.” Ye Leng’an beamed. Then, as if recalling something, she asked, “By the way, speaking of Zhongyu Lingshan and Zhongyu Jiarui, they’re sisters, right? Why do I feel like their brains don’t seem to function well!”

She recalled Zhongyu Jiarui trying to snatch spiritual herbs from her before. Now, with Zhongyu Lingshan mimicking her, it was clear what they were thinking.

“Probably because the Zhongyu family prioritizes the cultivation of boys,” Huangfu Ruiling explained calmly. “Their cultivation techniques are geared towards boys. Boys have inherent advantages from birth, leading the family to allocate resources towards them, neglecting the girls’ development.”

“Why don’t they seek cultivation techniques suitable for girls then?” Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but voice her curiosity. “Wouldn’t that be better?”

“It’s a good idea, but not very feasible,” Huangfu Ruiling explained, ruffling her hair. “Quality cultivation techniques are hard to come by, and major families aren’t keen on sharing their techniques.”

Understanding dawned in Ye Leng’an’s eyes.

Indeed, the Hidden World differed from the cultivation world. Though both involved cultivation, the former paled in comparison in all aspects.

Furthermore, even the most powerful in the Hidden World could only prolong their lifespans; ascending was beyond their reach. It was evident that cultivation was in decline in this era, nearing its end.

Feeling Huangfu Ruiling’s hand in her hair, Ye Leng’an playfully swatted it away. “Don’t mess up my hair.”

Huangfu Ruiling felt a pang of regret at having his hand pushed away, but he relented.

Suddenly, Ye Leng’an remembered something. Looking up at Huangfu Ruiling, she asked, “By the way, speaking of Zhongyu Jiarui, wasn’t she with Nangong Xuyao before? How are they now? Did Master Zhongyu agree to their request?”

Having seen Nangong Xuyao with Zhongyu Jiarui several times before, Ye Leng’an had heard rumors that Master Zhongyu had never agreed to their relationship. After all, Nangong Xuyao was from the mortal world and not even from the Hidden World’s Nangong family.

Their backgrounds didn’t align, but it was perhaps more challenging for Nangong Xuyao. Back in the mortal world, he was the heir of the Nangong family, a sought-after suitor among noble ladies. But in the Hidden World, his status was reversed, becoming a less desirable match.

For someone with weaker resolve, such a change might be insurmountable.

Surprised by Ye Leng’an’s sudden mention of Nangong Xuyao, Huangfu Ruiling paused before responding, a hint of complexity in his eyes. “Master Zhongyu has agreed to Nangong Xuyao and Zhongyu Jiarui’s marriage. They’re said to be engaged already, and a wedding date is being considered.”

“What?” Ye Leng’an’s eyes widened in disbelief, almost dropping her jaw. “Is that true? Master Zhongyu agreed? Didn’t you say before that he’d never agree to this?”

Huangfu Ruiling glanced calmly at her before speaking softly, “You seem quite concerned about Nangong Xuyao’s affairs, don’t you?”
