Chapter 657: Inside Information
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ye Lengan shook her head, rejecting Huangfu Ruilings suggestion outright.
“Let’s go outside! The items in your wareroom are too conspicuous.”
The mortal world differed from the Hidden World. Offering overly expensive gifts might not be wise for the principal. Therefore, it was better to explore outside and find something suitable.
Huangfu Ruiling did not object, nodding in agreement. “Alright, let’s go for a walk tomorrow! ”
Ye Lengan was somewhat surprised. “Have you sorted out the family matters? Why do you have time to accompany me?”
“It’s almost settled.” Huangfu Ruiling smiled, saying, “So, we can return to the mortal world anytime. You can set the time.”
“Is that so?” Ye Lengan nodded. After a moment’s thought, she continued, “In that case, let’s go back in two or three days! It’s been quite a while since I arrived here. I’ll return and focus on preparing for the college entrance examination!”
The college entrance examination was an effortless task for her. However, she believed in reviewing to ensure perfection. After all, she aimed to be the top scorer.
Huangfu Ruiling had no objections to Ye Lengan’s decision.
After Huangfu Ruixiang returned to his residence, he began searching for information about Huangfu Ruiling. Unexpectedly, things didn’t progress as smoothly as he anticipated.
For some reason, he couldn’t find any information about Huangfu Ruiling from the main family. When he mentioned Huangfu Ruilings name, no one seemed surprised. It was as if everyone knew about Huangfu Ruilings existence but was unwilling to disclose any information.
Faced with this situation, Huangfu Ruixiang felt defeated. However, if others were unwilling to speak, he couldn’t force them. Additionally, being a new inner sect disciple, his influence was limited.
Nevertheless, this situation puzzled him even more. Despite his inquiries, there was no progress. Eventually, he had to give up.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Yating approached him at this time.
Looking at Zhong Yating, Huangfu Ruixiang couldn’t help but frown. “Why are you looking for me?”
Since entering the inner sect, there had been little interaction between them. He was well aware of Zhong Yatings admiration for him. However, as an inner sect disciple, he no longer cared about such sentiments. So, they hadn’t met recently, and he wondered why she sought him out.
“Ruixiang, is it necessary to act this way?” Seeing his cold attitude, Zhong Yating felt a bit hurt. “Weren’t things good between us before? Why such a sudden change in your attitude?”
Hearing Zhong Yatings words, Huangfu Ruixiang seemed impatient. “Is this why you came to find me? I don’t think my attitude has changed. You’re overthinking. If you don’t have anything else to say, I’ll go back. 1 still need to continue my cultivation. You know that the inner sect competition is much fiercer than the outer sect.’
After saying this, he turned around to leave. However, before he could take a step, Zhong Yating stopped him.
“Ruixiang, I know what you’ve been investigating.” Seeing him about to leave, Zhong Yating quickly said, “l know some inside information. Don’t you want to hear it?”
Huangfu Ruixiang immediately halted. He turned around, looking at Zhong
Yating, and asked, “What do you know?”
“Don’t you want to investigate Huangfu Ruiling?” Zhong Yating smiled smugly. “l don’t think anyone in the Huangfu family would be willing to tell you! Coincidentally, I know some insider information. I just don’t know if you want to hear it?”
She had heard that Huangfu Ruixiang had been inquiring about this recently. While she might not know about other matters, she happened to have some insight into this issue.
She accidentally heard it once when she was accidentally called in to serve tea. However, it was just a single occurrence. Later, they realized they had called the wrong person and let her go. After all, she was just an outer sect disciple and lacked the qualifications.
“You really know?” Huangfu Ruixiangs tone was filled with doubt. “How is that possible?”
He couldn’t be blamed for doubting. He had secretly asked many inner sect disciples in recent days, and even many senior brothers and sisters didn’t know about these things. Even if they did, they refused to tell him.
And Zhong Yating was just an outer sect disciple. How could she possibly know any insider information?
“Logically speaking, it’s indeed impossible for me to know.” Zhong Yating said smugly, “But once, by chance, I overheard the elders talking.”
“What did they say?” Huangfu Ruixiang asked anxiously. “Hurry up and tell me!”
Compared to Huangfu Ruixiangs eagerness, Zhong Yating remained calmer.
“What I know is inside information. Moreover, someone warned me not to speak casually about it.”
After hearing Zhong Yatings words, Huangfu Ruixiang slowly calmed down. “Then what do you want?”
He didn’t believe that Zhong Yating had come just to tell him that she knew some inside information but couldn’t disclose it. Therefore, Zhong Yating must have something to ask of him, prompting her visit.
“Ruixiang, I want to ask you a question.” Zhong Yating suddenly asked, “What is your position in the family? You are also surnamed Huangfu, so you are from the same family, right?”
This had always been her question. She had always felt that Huangfu Ruixiang was a little mysterious, and perhaps, there was a powerful figure in the family backing him.
It was also because of this that she had always regarded Huangfu Ruixiang as her target. After all, her cultivation talent was not high, and entering the family’s inner sect was challenging. However, if someone helped, things would be much simpler..
