Watching Ye Leng’an about to leave, Lian Mengzhu felt a sense of urgency. She even reached out, wanting to grab Ye Leng’an’s arm. However, under Ye Leng’an’s icy gaze, she reluctantly withdrew her hand, feeling a bit at a loss

“I… I didn’t mean anything else.” Lian Mengzhu resembled a child who had done something wrong, her expression filled with anxiety. “I just wanted to offer my blessings.”

She was well aware that their uninvited presence wasn’t appropriate. In the eyes of others, it might even be a subject of mockery. Despite that, she still wanted to attend because it was her biological daughter’s engagement ceremony – a significant life event. She had missed too much of her daughter’s life, and missing such a crucial moment would be a lifelong regret.

“Mrs. Ye, we have received your blessings,” Huangfu Ruiling coldly remarked. “Guests are welcome, and today, you are our guests. I hope you can play your role as guests.”

These words were somewhat hurtful, causing a hint of sadness to appear on Lian Mengzhu’s face.

Observing Lian Mengzhu’s expression, Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but furrow her brows. “Mrs. Ye, today is my special day. I don’t want to utter harsh words, but I hope you won’t upseton such an occasion, alright?”

She genuinely found Lian Mengzhu peculiar. Wanting to acknowledge her biological daughter while being reluctant to let go of the adopted one. However, she knew well that the relationship between an adopted daughter and a biological one was almost irreconcilable. It was impossible for them to get along.

It was apparent that Lian Mengzhu struggled with her decision, but it felt like everyone was pressuring her.

These blunt words made Lian Mengzhu even more distressed. She hastily began to explain, “I didn’t mean to, I just…”

At this moment, Lian Mengzhu felt exceptionally wronged. She had conly to avoid missing a crucial moment in her daughter’s life. However, she didn’t expect her daughter to resist her this way, not even showing a friendly face. Did she really make a mistake by coming?

“Leng’an, there’s no need to be so sharp.” Ye Hongxuan frowned, speaking up. “We never intended to make you angry. I understand that you don’t want to associate with us because of Wanwan. However, you should also understand our feelings! Wanwan has been under our care for many years. Even if it’s raising a pet, feelings are bound to develop, let alone with a person! At the moment, we truly can’t let her go.”

Hearing Ye Hongxuan’s lofty words, Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but find it amusing. “Master Ye, you don’t need to explain anything to me. Your thoughts have nothing to do with me, and I don’t care. However, I don’t want to see you act like I owe you something. It disgusts me.”

Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu couldn’t possibly expect her to feel gratitude for their willingness to cover! Were they overestimating themselves or underestimating her? The current her had no intention of acknowledging her so-called biological parents.

Upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s words, Lian Mengzhu was on the verge of tears.

Observing his wife’s state, Ye Hongxuan felt a pang of heartache. He wanted to say something, but before he could, Huangfu Ruiling interrupted.

“Master Ye, Mrs. Ye.” Huangfu Ruiling coldly addressed the couple. “Today is our engagement day, and I apologize for not welcoming you properly. Our engagement ceremony is about to begin, so please enjoy yourselves.”

Huangfu Ruiling took Ye Leng’an’s hand and left without sparing Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu a glance, not giving them a chance to speak.

Lian Mengzhu stood in place, her face expressing grievance and sorrow. Especially when she gazed at Ye Leng’an’s departing figure, she seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Ye Hongxuan, on the other hand, wore a stern expression, not looking pleased.

Since Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu entered the banquet hall, almost everyone’s attention had shifted towards them, either subtly or overtly.

Everyone knew that the Ye family hadn’t received an invitation from the Huangfu family. Due to this, many had speculated about the situation. Now, with Master Ye and his wife arriving uninvited, the situation had taken a peculiar turn.

Seeing the strange atmosphere between Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Hongxuan, onlookers couldn’t help but let their imaginations run wild. Was there sundisclosed grudge between them?

Despite their speculations, no one spoke out. After all, it was a private matter. As guests, regardless of their thoughts, they maintained a calm facade.

Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an walked hand in hand onto the stage. In front of everyone, they made their vows and exchanged engagement rings.

Gazing at the delicate figure in front of her, Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes were filled with affection. He spoke slowly, “I, Huangfu Ruiling, swear that in this life and all eternity, I only want Ye Leng’an. If I break this oath, I am willing to accept the punishment of the Heavenly Dao.”

Finishing his words, he placed the ring on Ye Leng’an’s finger.

Hearing Huangfu Ruiling’s oath, Ye Leng’an smiled and made her own vow. “I, Ye Leng’an, swear that in this life and all eternity, I only want Huangfu Ruiling. If I break this oath, I am willing to accept the punishment of the Heavenly Dao.”

She, too, placed the ring on Huangfu Ruiling’s finger.

Those below the stage were astonished as they witnessed the couple make their engagement vows.

In the Hidden World, a cultivator’s oath was a solemn commitment to the Heavenly Dao. Violating it could lead to the development of inner demons, impacting future cultivation.

Hence, cultivators rarely took oaths. However, once made, they were bound to uphold them.

In the Hidden World, many had held engagement ceremonies, but making such an oath at this moment was unheard of. Although most engaged couples eventually married, a small number would fail to reach the final step for various reasons. Such an oath, aside from self-inflicted consequences, could significantly impact their future cultivation. Therefore, few would take such a risk.

In fact, many cultivators hesitated even when getting married, unwilling to make vows.

Who would have expected that Huangfu Ruiling, the head of the Huangfu family, would make such an oath during their engagement ceremony? It seemed he had already firmly decided on Ye Leng’an!
