Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Lian Mengzhu kept her head down, avoiding any eye contact with Ye Yikun. Yet, she could keenly sense his piercing gaze upon her. Uncertain whether her response would appease him, she dared not lift her gaze.

Though she was the victim in this matter, the perpetrator was her own biological sister. Hence, she fretted over the possibility of her father redirecting his anger towards her.

Her heart seethed with hatred towards Lian Zixin. The events orchestrated by her sister had led to a decade-long separation from her biological daughter, jeopardizing her standing within the Ye family. All the kindness she had extended to Lian Zixin over the years seemed utterly wasted.

Ye Yikun remained silent, observing Lian Mengzhu intently.

This only heightened Lian Mengzhu’s mental strain, leaving her feeling fragile and unsteady.

Ye Hongxuan’s eyes brimmed with concern as he watched his wife’s distress. Yet, under his father’s watchful eye, he was powerless to intervene.

After a prolonged silence, Ye Yikun withdrew his gaze. “If you’re certain, then so be it.”

A sigh of relief escaped Lian Mengzhu.

Shifting the conversation to Ye Wanwan, Ye Yikun asked, “How are things between you and Xingrui?”

While the alliance with Ye Leng’an and the Huangfu family was crucial, the union between Ye Wanwan and the Murong family could not be overlooked.

Facing Ye Yikun’s inquiry, Ye Wanwan remained composed. “Xingrui and I get along quite well. He treats me kindly, but…”

At this point, Ye Wanwan hesitated, meeting Ye Yikun’s gaze with a troubled expression. “After today’s events, Xingrui is confused about the relationship between our Ye family and Ye Leng’an. He probed me several times when I saw him off. Yet, I’m unsure how to respond.”

Ye Yikun furrowed his brows. After a moment’s contemplation, he spoke, “Tell him the truth: you and Ye Leng’an were twins, separated because of Lian Zixin’s jealousy. This is an internal matter of the Ye family, kept under wraps.”

He had intended to reveal this publicly once Ye Leng’an returned.

This approach would legitimize Ye Leng’an’s identity without tarnishing Ye Wanwan’s reputation. It was a solution that served dual purposes.

Grateful for Ye Yikun’s response, Ye Wanwan’s eyes gleamed with relief. “Understood, Grandfather.”

Though she knew the Ye family wouldn’t forsake her, her grandfather’s persistent desire for Ye Leng’an’s return was undeniably pressure-inducing. She feared Ye Leng’an’s return might expose her true identity. Yet, with her grandfather’s endorsement, she found solace.

Ye Yikun nodded, then continued, “Although your engagement with Xingrui is recent, I must caution you. Despite appearances, unforeseen changes may occur in the future. Your marriage with Xingrui is no exception.”

“Father,” Ye Hongxuan interjected, alarmed, “Wanwan is still young. How could she…”

He grasped the implication behind his father’s words. His father hoped Wanwan and Murong Xingrui would marry as soon as possible.

In the Hidden World, higher cultivation often delayed marriage. Cultivators in the Hidden World were different from ordinary people in the mortal world; maintaining youth wasn’t a challenge with sufficient cultivation. Cultivators could live up to two to three hundred years, or even longer with higher cultivation.

Hence, they seldom married early. Most considered marriage after reaching a century of age.

But Ye Wanwan was merely a teenager. How could she marry so soon?

Lian Mengzhu’s expression soured, clearly opposed to the idea. She didn’t want her daughter to marry at such a tender age.

“Wanwan is indeed young.” Ye Yikun remained composed. “But Xingrui is already in his seventies. Even if they marry now, it’s acceptable. Besides, this concerns Wanwan. Let her decide.”

Murong Xingrui’s age exceeded Ye Yikun’s by several decades, a common occurrence in the Hidden World. Some even surpassed a hundred years. Long lifespans in the Hidden World made such differences insignificant.

All eyes turned to Ye Wanwan, awaiting her response.

Though her expression flickered, Ye Wanwan swiftly regained composure. “Understood, Grandfather. I’ll urge the Murong family to propose marriage promptly.”

The Murong family must initiate the proposal; otherwise, the Ye family would appear hasty.

Initially resistant to her grandfather’s suggestion, Ye Wanwan found merit upon reflection.

Even if Ye Leng’an returned, announcing them as twins wouldn’t jeopardize her status.

Yet, no wall was impervious.

If her true identity surfaced, the Murong family’s response was uncertain. But if she and Murong Xingrui were married, even if the Murong family knew, as long as the Ye family acknowledged her identity, she’d retain her position as the matriarch of the Murong family.

After a brief deliberation, she assented.

“Wanwan!” Ye Hongxuan was incredulous. Frowning, he protested, “Do you understand what you’re agreeing to? You’re still so young! How could you marry so soon?”

Their longstanding bond couldn’t be disregarded. He cared deeply for his daughter, Ye Wanwan. Thus, her agreement left him vehemently opposed.

After all, Ye Wanwan was too young for marriage.
