Chapter 986: Discussion about Their Marriage

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

On the sidelines, Lian Mengzhu couldn’t help but feel a twinge of doubt upon witnessing Ye Hongxuan’s demeanor.

After years of marriage, she understood her husband well. She could tell that amidst the congratulatory messages from the crowd, her husband wasn’t genuinely pleased.

More than that, she detected an indiscernible sense of worry in him. This puzzled her and sparked some concern.

However, the timing wasn’t right to voice her thoughts. Nonetheless, she resolved to discuss it with her husband later tonight.

On the other hand, Ye Leng’an, witnessing Ye Wanwan’s prominence, felt little fluctuation in her mood. Yet, during Wanwan’s battles, she observed peculiarities.

After some pondering, Ye Leng’an leaned closer to Huangfu Ruiling and whispered, “Ling, don’t you find something strange with Ye Wanwan’s performance?”

“Yes.” Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes shimmered with insight. “Her cultivation has undoubtedly advanced, yet her actions and mindset during the battles seem incongruent. Fortunately, her opponents had significantly lower cultivation levels, otherwise, victory wouldn’t have been possible.”

Ye Leng’an frowned. “Considering her current state, it’s rare she hasn’t fallen into demonic cultivation. I’m genuinely curious about her rapid advancement.”

Huangfu Ruiling’s gaze turned icy, “There are numerous ways to advance one’s cultivation, but achieving such rapid progress through conventional means is impossible.”

Ye Leng’an mulled over his words, a realization dawning on her. “Are you implying…”

Huangfu Ruiling nodded. “I have some leads, but the investigation is ongoing. I anticipate results soon.”

Ye Leng’an sighed involuntarily. “I hope for swift conclusions! However, whatever the outcome, it will only bring endless sorrow.”

Hearing this, Huangfu Ruiling fell silent.

In the ensuing matches, Ye Wanwan dominated effortlessly. Regardless of her opponents, she emerged victorious with absolute supremacy.

Witnessing her performance, the crowd showered Ye Wanwan with admiration. She had undeniably become the star of her generation, poised for unparalleled success.

At this moment, Ye Wanwan was immersed in joy and pride, basking in the unexpected limelight.

She had never imagined garnering such attention. Previously, she felt a twinge of guilt over her rapid cultivation. Now, she relished the feeling.

Once scorned and ridiculed in her lowest moments, she now shone as the brightest star. Her parents would surely beam with pride.

She aimed to prove herself as the true heiress of the Ye family, a source of greater pride than Ye Leng’an.

The competition was nearing its conclusion, with the showdown scheduled for the next day. It was evident to everyone that the first place was undoubtedly destined for Ye Wanwan.

Despite a day of intense competition, Ye Wanwan appeared undaunted, radiating energy and vitality.

Meanwhile, in the main hall, seated at the head was none other than Ye Yikun, flanked by Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu. Opposite them sat today’s guest, Master Murong.

Master Murong wore a satisfied smile, particularly when his gaze fell upon Ye Wanwan.

In truth, Murong Xingrui had expressed his desire to wed Ye Wanwan at the earliest opportunity. Initially, Master Murong opposed the idea.

Although due to Murong Xingrui’s insistence, he did not cancel their engagement, he was beginning to regret it. After all, because of the events that had occurred previously, Ye Wanwan’s reputation was almost tarnished beyond repair. Moreover, the revelation that Ye Wanwan was not even of the Ye family’s bloodline further fueled his discontent.

However, it was only because Murong Xingrui refused to cancel the engagement that they remained at an impasse.

So, when Murong Xingrui proposed to finalize the marriage early that morning, he was strongly opposed.

However, after witnessing the Elite competition, his stance softened.

At such a young age, already at the Golden Core Stage, Ye Wanwan was truly exceptional. Moreover, her youth promised limitless potential. Despite not sharing the Ye family’s bloodline, she was acknowledged by the family. Thus, a union between Murong Xingrui and Ye Wanwan would enhance ties between the Ye and Murong families.

In that case, early completion of the marriage would also be a good thing. Most importantly, he could sense that after the Elite Competition, quite a few families had begun to see the value in Ye Wanwan. This undoubtedly increased Murong Xingrui’s rivals. Completing it as soon as possible had become a necessary matter. Therefore, today he came knocking at the door.

As juniors, Murong Xingrui and Ye Wanwan remained silent throughout.

Surprisingly, it was not Ye Hongxuan who broached the topic of marriage, but Ye Yikun. The discussion with Master Murong flowed smoothly, and both parties agreed to expedite the wedding.

In no time, the wedding date was set for two months hence. After finalizing the details, Master Murong departed with Murong Xingrui.

Left alone in the main hall were the Ye family members.

Ye Hongxuan could no longer contain himself and spoke up, “Father, is it truly necessary to rush this marriage? Wanwan is still young. There’s simply no need to hurry into marriage, right?”

He had no objection to this marriage. However, he didn’t think it was necessary to marry so early.
