    Huangfu Ruiling didn’t even spare a nce for Zhongyu Liuying. He simply said to Ye Wanwan with indifference, “If you want to file aint, go ahead.’


    His nonchnt demeanor was almost as if he was about to ask, “Shall 1 escort you there?”


    Seeing Huangfu Ruiling’s attitude, Ye Wanwan’s anger red up even more. She turned away and left. Before departing, she couldn’t resist shooting a hateful nce in the direction of Ye Lengan.


    Zhongyu Liuying stood in ce, watching Ye Wanwan depart and then observing Huangfu Ruiling, who remainedposed. She found herself at a loss, unsure of what to do.


    Ultimately, Zhongyu Liuying followed after Ye Wanwan. Her top priority was to figure out how to prevent Ye Wanwan from filing aint.


    However, when she came out, Ye Wanwan had already disappeared without a trace. So, Zhongyu Liuying returned to the office.


    Upon entering the office, she saw Huangfu Ruiling, who remained remarkably calm. She then nced at Ye Lengan, the source of all the trouble, and her anger intensified.


    Without hesitation, she pointed at Ye Lengan and scolded, “Ye Lengan, do you even understand what you’ve done? You’ve caused such a massive mess, and you don’t show an ounce of remorse!”


    “What is there to feel remorse for? I haven’t done anything wrong!” Ye Lengan shrugged, entirely unconcerned. “I was merely defending myself. As for her getting hurt, it was because her skills werecking. She can’t me anyone


    “Do you know who she is?” Zhongyu Liuying felt like she was on the brink of losing herposure. “She’s the youngdy of the Hidden Worlds Ye family! Your actions right now are making you an enemy of the Ye family. If you want to die, don’t drag us into it!”<div>

    “l don’t care who she is,” Ye Lengan retorted. Compared to Zhongyu Liuyings agitation, Ye Lengan remained surprisinglyposed. “However, if you expect me to stand there and get beaten, that’s absolutely impossible.”


    Hearing this reply, Zhongyu Liuying felt like her head was about to explode.


    She believed that if she continued talking to Ye Lengan, she might faint at any moment. So, she turned around and said to Huangfu Ruiling directly, “Ruiling, what should we do now? The main family won’t stand up against the Ye family for you.”


    “This matter has nothing to do with you, and you don’t need to worry,” Huangfu Ruiling remarked, ncing at Zhongyu Liuying with a tone of warning. “Furthermore, you’d better refrain from getting involved in such matters in the future, or else you’ll have to bear the consequences yourself.”


    “Ruiling, why don’t you understand?” Zhongyu Liuying tried to persuade him earnestly. “Ye Lengan is not suitable for you at all. Look at the speed at which she causes trouble. All she’ll do is drag you down.”


    “Stay out of my business,” Huangfu Ruiling replied coldly, gazing at Zhongyu Liuying. “If you want to continue livingfortably within the Huangfu family, then behave yourself. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee you’ll maintain this level offort in the future.’


    Confronted by that icy stare, Zhongyu Liuying couldn’t help but shudder. When she looked at Huangfu Ruiling, she felt a genuine fear brewing in her heart. Here was her son, the one she had carried in her womb for ten months, and yet, in the face of this son, she inexplicably felt a sense of dread deep within her.


    “Are you threatening me?” Zhongyu Liuying asked, suppressing the fear in her heart. She felt a tinge of sadness as she added, “Ruiling, I’m your mother! How can you treat me this way?”


    “This is not a threat,” Huangfu Ruiling responded with an unwavering tone. “I’m merely stating a fact.”


    Being looked at with such eyes, Zhongyu Liuying felt like she was on the verge of suffocation. Overwhelmed, she turned and left without uttering another word.


    Her hasty footsteps, however, seemed more like a hasty escape.


    “You seem to have scared her away,” Ye Lengan remarked, finding the situation amusing. “l never expected your own mother to be afraid of you!’


    “She meddles too much,” Huangfu Ruiling stated calmly. “And she hides her self-interest under the pretense of doing what’s best for me. The real reason she’s so angry is that she failed to secure any benefits.”


    “Does it really matter to you what happens to Ye Wanwan?” Ye Lengan inquired, raising a hand to support her chin. She blinked at Huangfu Ruiling and asked, “She’s the youngdy of the Ye family, after all.”


    Seeing Ye Lengan’s expression, Huangfu Ruiling couldn’t help butugh. So, he directly asked, “What would you do if I said yes? Tell me, what’s your n?”


    He was curious to hear whether Ye Lengan could articte a coherent n.


    “There’s no other n!” Ye Lengan straightened up and leaned back. She spread her hands and adopted a nonchnt attitude. “The one who starts the provocation is in the wrong. No matter how you reason with me, I don’t feel like I did anything wrong. Besides, I already showed restraint. Ye Wanwan is indeed quite audacious. She actually dared to y with fire in front of me. She’s overestimating herself. I merely destroyed the fire clone, and that was already an act of restraint.”


    She was the ultimate fire maniptor! If she had really wanted to take action, she could have easily used that fire clone to extinguish the source of the fire on Ye Wanwan’s body. It was just a small spiritual fire, yet Ye Wanwan dared


    to act so arrogantly in front of her. It was simply asking for trouble.


    “That’s right!” Huangfu Ruiling added. “If that’s the case, why do you even care about what she does? I don’t think you should be concerned about such matters.”


    “I’m just afraid you’ll end up at a disadvantage!” Ye Lengan smiled and exined, “If the Ye familyes knocking at your door, I’m afraid you won’t know how to handle it.”


    “Even if the Ye family doese, they won’t gain any advantages,” Huangfu Ruiling said nonchntly. “Although the Ye family is known for alchemy, there are other alchemical families in the Hidden World that have been keeping a close eye on them. While they might not be as powerful as the Ye family, they’ve always been coveting the Ye family’s position. The Ye family excels in alchemy, but in terms of cultivation, they can’tpare to other families.’


    If the Ye family acted unreasonably, there were ways to nurture other alchemical families so they could potentially rece the Ye family. Despite being an alchemical family, the Ye family was undoubtedly not as formidable as the Huangfu family..
