After hearing the Grand Elder’s proposal, Huangfu Ruiling’s brow moved slightly, and a hint of interest appeared in his expression.

He turned to Ye Leng’an and asked, “Anan, what do you think?”

He found the suggestion appealing, but he respected Anan’s opinion. If she disagreed, he wouldn’t insist.

Ye Leng’an was momentarily surprised by Huangfu Ruiling’s words but quickly nodded. “It’s fine; you can arrange it!”

Since they were planning an engagement ceremony in the mortal world, having another one in the Hidden World seemed reasonable.

With Ye Leng’an’s approval, a glint of satisfaction crossed Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes. He then turned to the Grand Elder, saying, “Arrange this matter promptly and prepare a detailed plan. I’ll review how to proceed later.”

“Alright, I’ll go now.”

The Grand Elder acted swiftly. After receiving the order, he stood and left.

However, after taking a couple of steps, as if recalling something, he turned back and shamelessly asked Ye Leng’an for the promised herbal tea.

Thinking the Grand Elder had more to say, Ye Leng’an chuckled but obliged. A small, exquisite tea can appeared on the table with a wave of her hand.

Recognizing it instantly, the Grand Elder eagerly pocketed the jar like a treasure and left, content.

Within a short day, news of Huangfu Ruiling becoming the head of the Huangfu family had spread throughout the Hidden World. Even smaller families were aware, causing a greater shock to the larger families.

For the major families, this revelation was more profound. The Huangfu family patriarch had always been mysterious, appearing suddenly one year and taking control before anyone could react.

Surprisingly, few in the Huangfu family opposed this, and the elders supported Huangfu Ling. In Huangfu Ling’s absence, the Grand Elder handled all clan affairs, never harboring thoughts of usurping power.

While many knew of Huangfu Ruiling, an inner sect disciple with significant strength despite being disabled, they hadn’t connected him with Huangfu Ling until now.

Huangfu Ruixiang, also an inner sect disciple, heard the news promptly. Initially, he dismissed the idea that Huangfu Ruiling and Huangfu Ling were the same person, but the sudden revelation made it seem true.

Feeling as if fortune had smiled upon him, Huangfu Ruixiang couldn’t help but smile at the thought of his elder brother being the patriarch.

Though their relationship was somewhat distant, the blood ties couldn’t be ignored. As the younger brother of the Huangfu family’s head, his future position in the clan was evident.

Returning from the training ground, many greeted him, well aware of his brother’s newfound status.

Despite his good mood, seeing Zhong Yating made Huangfu Ruixiang’s joy vanish.

“Why are you here again?” He frowned, expressing clear displeasure. “Didn’t I tell you not to come unless it’s important?”

Unperturbed by his dislike, Zhong Yating wore a bright smile. “I heard the news and came to congratulate you.”

Though aware of Huangfu Ruiling’s high status, Zhong Yating hadn’t expected him to be the patriarch.

Feeling exceptionally fortunate, she believed her choice in Huangfu Ruixiang was exceptional. Now, she was practically the daughter-in-law of the Huangfu family patriarch.

With this identity, entering the inner sect would be effortless. Her judgment seemed impeccable.

“What does this have to do with you?” Huangfu Ruixiang’s cold gaze focused on Zhong Yating. “Zhong Yating, don’t forget you engaged me under false pretenses. Why try to benefit from our engagement now? Your audacity knows no bounds.”

Previously unworthy, Zhong Yating was even more unfit for him now that Huangfu Ruiling’s identity was known. Engaged or not, he held no affection for her.

“Ruixiang, how can you say such things?”

Faced with Huangfu Ruixiang’s sarcasm, Zhong Yating remained unfazed. Not a hint of sadness crossed her face, and there was no change in her complexion. “Regardless, we are already engaged. Moreover, I’ve made it clear; no matter what happens, I won’t agree to annul our engagement. If you want to break it off, there’s only one way – you’d have to kill me!”

As she spoke, a trace of madness and triumph flashed across her face. “Do you dare? Do you dare to kill me? Even if Huangfu Ruiling is your elder brother, he won’t be able to save you if you really kill me!”

Hearing such a threat, Huangfu Ruixiang felt a surge of anger. He glared at Zhong Yating, teeth clenched, and retorted, “Zhong Yating, do you truly believe I wouldn’t dare to lay a finger on you?”

“Ruixiang, I know you dislike me,” Zhong Yating said, unbothered. She extended her hand, caressing Huangfu Ruixiang’s chest with a hint of allure. “But don’t you think I’m the perfect wife for you? I can assure you that after we’re married, I won’t interfere with your affairs outside. Few women can promise that, right?”
