“If we suspect foul play, then it’s best to let the enforcement team investigate thoroughly,” Huangfu Ruiling said casually. “If indeed any underhanded methods or harmful actions were used, they must be dealt with accordingly.”

Ye Leng’an nodded in agreement and added, “While the Ye family is known for alchemy, it’s highly unlikely they possess pills with such effects. However, whether lives were endangered remains uncertain.”

Acknowledging this, Huangfu Ruiling turned to Ye Leng’an. “I’ll visit the enforcement team tomorrow, and the day after, we’ll return to the mortal world.”

Ye Leng’an voiced no objections. She rose from her seat, stretched lazily, and replied, “That’s fine. I’ll stay here tomorrow to refine a batch of pills.”

Despite the serene atmosphere, tensions brewed within the Ye family.

In the study room, Ye Yikun sat sternly, accompanied by Ye Hongxuan, Lian Mengzhu, and Ye Wanwan. Others, including members of the second branch, had been dismissed. Though filled with questions, they dared not speak under Ye Yikun’s command.

Ye Yikun remained silent, and so did the rest, fearful to break the quietude. The study became eerily tranquil, almost unsettling.

After a while, Ye Yikun finally spoke, addressing Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu with a serious tone. “What are your thoughts on Ye Leng’an?”

This question left Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu exchanging helpless glances. They hesitated to respond.

For them, answering was daunting. Their decisions were not their own; they lay with Ye Leng’an.

Despite Ye Leng’an’s presence, her reluctance to return was evident from her actions. Though biological, their relationship lacked nurture and years of bonding.

At the mention of Ye Leng’an, Ye Wanwan’s gaze darkened, revealing a trace of resentment. She truly didn’t want Ye Leng’an to return to the Ye family. She understood deep down that although her parents stood by her side now because of her feigned vulnerability, if Ye Leng’an were to return, it was uncertain whose side they would take.

In comparison, Ye Leng’an had a significant advantage: the blood of the Ye family flowed within her veins. Therefore, if Ye Leng’an were to come back, it would undoubtedly have a profound impact on her.

Unable to voice her concerns, Ye Wanwan remained silent, aware that her status forbade any input.

Observing their hesitance, Ye Yikun’s expression soured, his tone growing impatient. “Are you mute? Did you not hear my question?”

“We…” Ye Hongxuan began cautiously, “We’re not avoiding the question. Leng’an seems resistant. Despite our efforts, she remains unmoved.”

“She’s your daughter,” Ye Yikun reminded sharply, eyeing Ye Hongxuan and his wife. “Do you intend to let her wander indefinitely? And do you truly wish to miss her wedding?”

The implications struck Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu hard. The possibility was unsettling.

During Ye Leng’an’s engagement to Huangfu Ruiling, they were not even invited, let alone considered as parents. They had to impose themselves.

Ye Yikun’s unwavering gaze bore into Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu. “Blood ties endure. Ye Leng’an is your daughter. If you humble yourselves, she may relent.”

Their resolve wavered under Ye Yikun’s words.

“We’ll try to mend things with Leng’an and convince her to return,” Ye Hongxuan promised.

“Good.” Ye Yikun nodded. “Act swiftly. Rumors suggest the quality of the spirit stone mine is promising. If Leng’an returns and fosters ties with the Huangfu family, it could benefit the Ye family.”

Ye Yikun’s words momentarily stunned both Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu. However, they weren’t overly surprised. They understood their father’s character well, so it was natural for them to realize that his urgent insistence on finding a way to bring Ye Leng’an back was driven by potential gains.

Nevertheless, even if their father hadn’t mentioned it, they genuinely wanted their biological daughter to return. Of course, they wouldn’t overlook their adopted daughter, Wanwan. After all, they had raised her, and they would undoubtedly treat both daughters equally.

“Pay heed to Leng’an.” Ye Yikun fixed his sharp gaze on Lian Mengzhu. “And don’t go soft on Lian Zixin and the Yan family!”

Though addressed collectively, his words targeted Lian Mengzhu, the root cause of their predicament.

Years of leniency towards her sister, Lian Zixin, had led to this situation.

Lian Mengzhu shuddered, vowing, “Rest assured, Father. I won’t falter with Lian Zixin. Our ties are severed, and I’ll never acknowledge her again.”

Her words dripped with apprehension.
