Chapter 1007: Night of the Full Moon

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Huangfu Ruiling crushed the note in his hand into powder, which then scattered in the wind.

Li San, who was standing respectfully at the side, was shocked. Even though his master’s expression didn’t change, Li San could feel the tension brewing beneath the surface.

His master was on the verge of exploding because of Miss Ye’s disappearance. Li San couldn’t imagine what his master’s reaction would be if something really happened to Miss Ye.

“Li San!” Huangfu Ruiling’s voice was calm, but his words made people tremble with fear. “Spread the word: Watch the Ye family closely. Report any activity immediately. Also, tell Ye Hongxuan that if anything happens to An’an, the Ye family’s done.”

In An’an’s heart, the Ye family had never held any place. If she was really hurt because of the Ye family, then no matter who the culprit was, the Ye family would have to take responsibility.

At the Ye family’s residence, after Ye Hongxuan received the message from Huangfu Ruiling, he felt his entire body turn cold and he couldn’t help but fall back on his chair.

He hadn’t anticipated Huangfu Ruiling’s ruthlessness. He tried to reassure himself that Huangfu Ruiling was only speaking and wouldn’t actually act on it. After all, the Ye family was among the top ten families. If Huangfu Ruiling destroyed them, there would surely be consequences. It would also tarnish the reputation of the Enforcement Team. Plus, the Ye family wouldn’t fall so easily. If Huangfu Ruiling truly acted ruthlessly, both sides would suffer.

Ye Hongxuan tried to reassure himself, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t shake off the unease. A voice inside him kept insisting that Huangfu Ruiling wasn’t just bluffing; he meant it. If anything happened to Ye Leng’an, the Ye family wouldn’t come out of it unharmed this time.

He silently prayed that his father wouldn’t harm Ye Leng’an, otherwise, the Ye family was truly in danger this time.

Time passed quickly, and two days went by.

Still, there was no news from Ye Yikun and Ye Leng’an. However, during these two days, the entire Hidden World was in turmoil. Members of the Enforcement Team and the Huangfu family were patrolling everywhere, all wearing serious expressions.

The commotion not only alarmed the members of the ten major families but also made ordinary people feel uneasy.

These past couple of days have been rough as hell for Ye Hongxuan. He was practically pulling his hair out dealing with everything right now. Besides Ye Yikun and Ye Leng’an vanishing, there was also Ye Wanwan’s situation. Plus, the elders bugged him every day for advice on what to do.

Right now, he couldn’t help but resent his father, who was always seen as the one in charge.

Finally, it was the night of the full moon. Ye Yikun came to see Ye Leng’an again.

Ye Leng’an didn’t flinch when she spotted Ye Yikun’s arrival. “Oh, you’re here? Must be a full moon night.”

For the past two days, she’d been stuck in this secret room, completely clueless about what was happening outside or how much time had passed. Seeing Ye Yikun show up, she figured it must be time for something.

Most people, after two days in such a place, would be feeling pretty rough mentally, even if they didn’t lose it completely. But Ye Leng’an looked as chipper as ever, looking like she’d been on holiday for the past two days.

Ye Yikun frowned when he saw Ye Leng’an because things didn’t turn out as he expected.

In this secret room, there were no windows or anything else except a bed. Being locked up there for two to three days made it hard for anyone to sense time passing or feel good mentally. However, Ye Leng’an was an exception.

“The time’s up.” Ye Yikun sneered at Ye Leng’an. “After today, you’ll vanish from this world. You’re surprisingly calm.”

“Then what?” Ye Leng’an shrugged. “Would I be set free if I cried and begged?”

“You’ve got it figured out.” Ye Yikun smirked with a hint of pride. “After today, I’m going to be the most powerful in the whole Hidden World.”

With that, he stepped forward and poured Ye Leng’an another mouthful of tea.

Ye Leng’an didn’t resist. Or rather, she couldn’t resist at all in this secret chamber.

After confirming Ye Leng’an had fainted, Ye Yikun carried her out of the secret chamber.

When she woke up, Ye Leng’an found herself in Ye Yikun’s courtyard, lying in the center. Beneath her was a peculiar pattern formation. Ye Yikun was standing not far away from her.

Ye Leng’an wanted to get up, but she realized that she couldn’t move her body no matter what.

“Don’t bother trying. Ye Leng’an, you can’t move a muscle.” Ye Yikun’s face twisted with madness. “Before, I had your lanugo, but I lost control of you quickly. You broke free. But now, it’s different. With your blood and lanugo, you’ll never break my hold.”

Hearing Ye Yikun’s words, Ye Leng’an had a sudden realization. She lifted her head. “It’s about the match with Ye Wanwan. You orchestrated all of this. Your aim is my blood, isn’t it?”

“Exactly,” Ye Yikun replied without hesitation. “I might not have known your cultivation level back then, but I knew Ye Wanwan couldn’t beat you. But Ye Wanwan hates you to the core, so manipulating her was a breeze. She’s also gullible. I just kept hammering home that I’d only recognize her as the sole young lady of the Ye family if she defeated you. That was why she risked everything to win. But I never imagined this fool couldn’t even scratch you. She was useless. She has squandered so many of my pills for nothing.”
