Full-Level Rich Daughter Makes a Strong Comeback

Chapter 998: A Casual Talk

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

At that moment, Ye Wanwan received the unexpected news of Ye Leng’an’s visit, invited by her grandfather himself.

This stirred panic within her. Was Ye Leng’an being brought in to replace her? Her grandfather had previously expressed his desire for her to defeat Ye Leng’an in the Elite Competition, proving her superiority as the Ye family’s young lady. But now, having lost to Ye Leng’an publicly, was her grandfather planning to displace her entirely?

Ye Wanwan couldn’t shake these thoughts, even though her grandfather swore Ye Leng’an wouldn’t come back to the Ye family. It was worse now that everyone in the Hidden World knew how powerful Ye Leng’an was and that she was Huangfu Ruiling’s fiancée and the future matriarch of the Huangfu family.

Desperate for information, Ye Wanwan found herself isolated. No longer the center of attention, she feared worsening her family’s opinion of her.

Meanwhile, Ye Leng’an was oblivious to the speculation surrounding the Ye family, already seated in Ye Yikun’s courtyard.

Ye Yikun calmly prepared tea, unperturbed by Ye Leng’an’s lack of deference. As he poured her a cup, he offered himself the first sip.

Ye Leng’an, unfazed, took a sip and cut straight to the chase. “Old Master Ye, how about we address the matter you mentioned in the invitation?”

Ye Yikun, smiling faintly, saw no urgency. “Why rush? Let’s chat first. We’ve never had the chance to do so calmly.”

Ye Leng’an shrugged, nonchalantly responding, “Old Master Ye, we both know we’re not exactly the sit-and-chat type, right?”

“Indeed.” Ye Yikun deeply glanced at Ye Leng’an, his expression carrying a hint of complexity. “Ye Leng’an, if you had grown up here, you would definitely be the most promising descendant of the Ye family.”

He might even skip Ye Hongxuan and pass the family head position directly to her. But it was all just hypothetical. In fact, Ye Leng’an didn’t grow up in the Ye family and had no emotional attachment to it.

Facing what could be seen as praise, Ye Leng’an’s expression remained unchanged, not even a hint of surprise. She casually glanced at Ye Yikun and then nonchalantly remarked, “Even if I hadn’t grown up in the Ye family, I still consider myself outstanding. In fact, if I had grown up in the Ye family, maybe I wouldn’t have achieved what I have now.”

If it weren’t for Lian Zixin’s swap incident, she would have grown up in the Ye family from birth. Then she wouldn’t have been killed by Ye Xiyuan in her first life, nor would she have had the experiences of her second life. She would probably have been like Ye Wanwan, a pampered young lady. Even if she had some achievements in cultivation, they wouldn’t have been as remarkable as they were now.

Sometimes things just worked out in mysterious ways. Even though her past experiences were tragic, without those experiences, she wouldn’t be who she was now.

Hearing Ye Leng’an’s words, Ye Yikun wasn’t angry either. He even couldn’t help but laugh a few times before continuing, “You’re right. If you had really grown up in the Ye family, everything would still be unknown. However…”

At this point, Ye Yikun deeply glanced at Ye Leng’an. “I’m really curious, how did you achieve such an unfathomable strength at your age? You’re just a girl of eighteen or nineteen, yet you have such cultivation. It’s simply impossible.”

It shouldn’t be just him; this was something the entire Hidden World was curious about. Ye Wanwan’s Golden Core Stage cultivation was already unparalleled among her peers. That was achieved through forcibly enhancing it with pills, and the consequences were severe. Though they hadn’t manifested yet, they would soon appear.

Different from Ye Wanwan’s, Ye Leng’an’s cultivation was solid and built up step by step like a sturdy building, still standing firm and stable.

“Many things you can’t do don’t mean others can’t do it either.” Ye Leng’an raised an eyebrow, continuing calmly, “But Old Master Ye, you didn’t call me here today just to chat casually, did you?”

“Of course not.” Ye Yikun shook his head. “Ye Leng’an, you’ve always wanted to know where the thing you lost is, right?”

Hearing Ye Yikun’s words, Ye Leng’an remained calm. “Naturally, otherwise I wouldn’t have come here in person today.”

Originally, she hadn’t planned to accept the invitation. But later, Ye Yikun sent another invitation, mentioning that he knew where the lanugo she lost was.

Huangfu Ruiling had sent people to investigate the whereabouts of the hair she lost, which had been used by the Ye family to exchange for a large sum of money. However, they didn’t find any results.

That thing was crucial for cultivators. If it fell into the hands of someone with ill intentions, it would be a big trouble for her.

So, after receiving the second invitation, Ye Leng’an decided to come in person.

Of course, at the same time, she also wanted to see what Ye Yikun was up to and why he insisted on inviting her over in person.
