    “It’s precisely because the Ye family is renowned for alchemy that they need to form alliances with other families,” Huangfu Ruiling exined slowly. “Indeed, within the Hidden World, the Ye family is considered thergest alchemy family. However, their focus on alchemy has hindered their overall cultivationpared to other families. In the past, when alchemists were scarce, major families highly valued the Ye family. However, times have changed. Many alchemy families have emerged in the Hidden World. Some aristocratic families even support alchemists within their own ranks. The Ye family’s advantage is no longer as significant. In recent years, the Ye family has produced few high-level alchemists. Thus, while they remain one of the top ten families in the Hidden World, they are not as formidable as before. Ye Yikun has been eager to restore the family’s former glory, and forming alliances is the quickest way.”


    Having listened to Huangfu Ruiling’s exnation, Ye Leng’an understood. “I didn’t expect Old Master Ye to be so ambitious! It’s a pity he’s not willing to take the righteous path.”<div>


    In her view, any marriage alliance was superficial. The key to a family’s prosperity and strength was continuous self-improvement, not resorting to dubious means. Regardless of the external assistance, true strength came from within.


    Moreover, marriage alliances were fragile. For instance, Ye Wanwan’s cultivation had been crippled, yet the Ye family dared not spread the news, fearing the Murong family might break off the engagement.


    Self-reliance was better than dependence. Strengthening oneself was the basis for survival.


    “Although Ye Hongxuan is the current head of the Ye family, in reality, the one making decisions is Ye Yikun, who has already taken a back seat,” Huangfu Ruiling exined calmly. “Ye Hongxuan is indecisive and cannot achieve great things or lead the Ye family to its former glory. To make the Ye family strong, Ye Yikun believes forming alliances is the best option.”


    Although Ye Hongxuan was Ye Leng’an’s biological father, Huangfu Ruiling truly had little regard for him. If he were in Ye Hongxuan’s position, he would ensure all power rested in his hands after bing the family head, rather than just holding a title.


    Ye Hongxuan was overly cautious due to Ye Yikun being his father, enduring much. He was unlikely to achieve anything significant.


    “Perhaps indecisiveness makes control easier!” Ye Leng’an stated bluntly. “That’s why I say the Ye family is truly chaotic. Thankfully, I never considered going back.”


    The Ye family was nothing but a quagmire, and she had no intention of stepping into it.


    After Ye Leng’an’s remarks, Huangfu Ruiling shook his head amusedly. “It’s alright. We’ll leave the Hidden World tomorrow. The Ye family’s matters won’t trouble you anymore.”


    Ye Leng’an stuck out her tongue and sighed. “Seems like I’m truly a person without family ties!”


    Indeed! Back in the mortal world, the Ye family favored their biological daughter, Ye Xiyuan. In the Hidden World, her biological parents had been reluctant to give up on their adopted daughter.<div>


    However, Ye Leng’an was just casuallyining and felt no emotional ripples.


    Huangfu Ruiling also perceived that Ye Leng’an’s mood was unaffected, so he offered noforting words. He merely smiled and continued, “That’s good! In your world, I’m the only one.”


    “Your possessiveness is quite strong!” Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “Shouldn’t you be saying some sweet words tofort me at a time like this?”


    Huangfu Ruiling raised his eyebrows and asked, “Do you need myfort?”


    Ye Leng’an didn’t know how to respond. Currently, she truly didn’t need anyfort.


    She had never harbored expectations for her so-called parents, so she wouldn’t be disappointed. Moreover, she exposed Ye Wanwan’s identity this time merely as payback. Regardless of Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu’s attitudes, she didn’t care and wouldn’t be saddened.


    “Alright! I can’t argue with you.”


    After saying that, she released his hand, turned around, and jumped onto his back.


    Huangfu Ruiling reacted swiftly, immediately reaching out to support her on his back.


    Ye Leng’any on his back, a radiant smile on her face. The broad back beneath her provided a sense of security.


    “Darling, just carry me on your back!” Her tone was filled with heartyughter. “Consider this an opportunity for you to showcase your strength!”<div>


    “Good! As long as you don’te down, I’ll carry you all the way.”


    With that, Huangfu Ruiling carried Ye Leng’an on his back, strolling leisurely through the garden. The care he took was as if the entire world rested on his shoulders.


    Lying on Huangfu Ruiling’s back, Ye Leng’an smiled. “Actually, this feels quite nice. Ling, in the future, let’s find time to go on a trip together! Just the two of us, without anyone else.”


    They had only traveled together once, to the southern boundaries, and it wasn’t for leisure but to deal with Gu poison.


    That reminded her of Xiao Jin. Before her college entrance exams, Xiao Jin had already fallen into a deep sleep, possibly due to consuming many elixirs, indicating an impending evolution. This had caught her off guard.


    However, since Xiao Jin was still asleep, she didn’t bring it to the Hidden World. Otherwise, she genuinely wanted Lian Zixin to taste Xiao Jin.


    Noticing Ye Leng’an lost in thought on his back, Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes revealed a hint of doubt. He then asked, “An’an, what are you thinking about?”


    After Ye Leng’an snapped out of it, she smiled and continued, “It’s nothing. I was just thinking. By the way, you haven’t answered my question yet!”


    “Sure!” Huangfu Ruiling’s tone was indulgent. “You can go anywhere you want. You can set the time and go anywhere you want.”


    With Huangfu Ruiling’s response, she smiled and said, “At least you know what’s good for you.”
