Chapter 975: Something Is Wrong

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Father, I’m certain I’ll win this time.” Ye Wanwan’s confidence was palpable as she spoke to Ye Hongxuan. “I’ll show everyone my true strength.”

Her eyes betrayed a hint of ambition and determination, revealing her inner resolve.

Ye Wanwan knew she was the subject of ridicule in the entire Hidden World. Ever since the banquet incident, everyone knew she was switched with Ye Leng’an back then. Though no one dared to speak openly, she could feel the scrutiny, knowing they were waiting for the moment she would be ousted from the Ye family.

She intended to showcase her prowess in the Elite Competition, proving that she was no lesser than Ye Leng’an. As long as she existed, Ye Leng’an would never become the young lady of the Ye family.

Unaware of Ye Wanwan’s hidden intentions, Ye Hongxuan nodded in approval before saying, “Your confidence is commendable, but I must remind you. Cultivation is a journey against the odds, with no shortcuts. Only by staying grounded can one achieve longevity.”

Ye Hongxuan pondered if Ye Wanwan truly grasped his message, feeling it necessary to remind her.

Previously, he would have been more direct. However, Wanwan’s cultivation was solely guided by his father, leaving him no room for intervention.

Uncertain of the methods employed by his father to rapidly improve Wanwan’s cultivation, Ye Hongxuan couldn’t shake off his unease.

Startled by her father’s words, Ye Wanwan masked her emotions and merely nodded. “Father, rest assured. I understand.”

She couldn’t discern if her father had sensed something, but she felt there was an underlying message. Nevertheless, she had more pressing matters at hand. Regardless of the circumstances, she had taken the pills, and her cultivation had surged.

She now stood at the Golden Core Stage. Regardless of her peers or even some elders, none could match her cultivation. Despite the mystery surrounding her sudden progress, it was hers to claim.

Observing Ye Wanwan’s demeanor, Ye Hongxuan refrained from further discussion. With his father now siding with Wanwan, he could no longer interfere.

Lian Mengzhu’s gaze shifted between Ye Hongxuan and Ye Wanwan, sensing something amiss but unable to articulate it.

Meanwhile, Huangfu Ruiling diverted his attention from the Ye family and said to Ye Leng’an, “I’d rather not see Ye Wanwan.”

“I’m not one to be overbearing.” Ye Leng’an chuckled. “But there’s something peculiar about Ye Wanwan! She’s already at the Golden Core Stage!”

She had noticed that earlier. Despite the short interval since their last encounter, Ye Wanwan had already achieved the Golden Core Stage, indicating her unprecedented speed.

Glancing at Ye Wanwan, Huangfu Ruiling discerned the instability in her cultivation. “Although her cultivation has surged quickly, it’s also quite unstable.”

Ye Leng’an nodded. “I once crippled Ye Wanwan’s cultivation, yet it swiftly recovered. Even after injuring her at the banquet, her wounds healed rapidly, accompanied by an accelerated cultivation. It’s quite strange.”

Huangfu Ruiling’s gaze darkened. “The Enforcement Team investigated but found nothing amiss in the Ye family.”

“However, something feels off,” Ye Leng’an admitted, shaking her head. “We might uncover something from Ye Wanwan.”

“The Enforcement Team will continue their investigation,” Huangfu Ruiling affirmed, his brows furrowing in thought. “Yet, we can’t discount the possibility of the Ye family possessing special pills or methods.”

“I’m uncertain if the Ye family has any covert methods, but…” Ye Leng’an’s lips curled confidently. “When it comes to pills, I dare say, I surpass everyone in the Hidden World.”

After nearly restoring her cultivation to its former glory, she faced a bottleneck due to the world’s suppression, hindering her ascension.

Yet, she wasn’t in a rush, content with her cultivation progress and her relationship with Huangfu Ruiling. She harbored no desperation for ascension, cherishing their companionship.

Even before her cultivation fully recovered, her alchemy skills had already reached the pinnacle of her previous life. During her time in the cultivation world, she was nearly unmatched as an alchemist, standing at the zenith of the field.

Confident in her alchemical prowess, she surpassed even the Ye family, renowned for their alchemy skills.

Seeing Ye Leng’an’s assurance, Huangfu Ruiling softened. “So, you’re implying that no pill can elevate one’s cultivation in this manner?”

“Indeed, there are pills that can help improve one’s cultivation,” Ye Leng’an elaborated, “but typically, no one chooses them as they may hinder future cultivation paths. Even if consumed, they wouldn’t yield such rapid improvement. Of course, I mean…”

Ye Leng’an paused, redirecting the conversation. “Those normal pills. As for unorthodox ones, I haven’t delved into them much, to be honest.”

The crucial point was that even if she wanted to delve into the study, she couldn’t find any valuable information.
