Ye Lengan nodded and inquired, “Don’t say so much, just tell me directly, what is the reward for this year?”

“It’s the priority mining right for a spirit stone mine.” Huangfu Ruilings eyes sparkled. “This time, the reward isn’t provided by the major families, but by the Enforcement Team. They’ve discovered an untouched spirit stone mine in the Hidden World. Although we don’t know the quality of the spirit stones inside, it has never been mined before. The family that secures first place in the family competition will have the mining rights to the spirit stone mine for three years. After that, the spirit stone mine will be returned to the

Enforcement Team.’

“That kind of reward is indeed very enticing.” Ye Lengan was also taken aback. “l didn’t expect the Enforcement Team to be so generous! However, I’ve often heard you mention the Enforcement Team. What’s their status in the Hidden World?”

“The Enforcement Team is equivalent to the governmental department in the mortal world,” Huangfu Ruiling explained. “They manage all the affairs in the Hidden World and have established numerous rules. Everyone in the Hidden World must adhere to the rules set by the Enforcement Team, or they’ll face penalties.”

Ye Lengan understood and continued to ask about the Hidden World. Huangfu Ruiling patiently provided explanations without any sign of impatience.

Their conversation was filled with laughter and flowed harmoniously. However, this harmonious atmosphere was suddenly disrupted.

A servant with an unusual expression hurried over. She didn’t dare to approach directly and stopped in front of Li San, whispering a few words to him.

Li San frowned, then walked over and stood in front of Huangfu Ruiling, looking like he wanted to speak but hesitated.

“If you have something to say, just say it,” Huangfu Ruiling said calmly.

“There’s no need to beat around the bush.’

Li San promptly spoke up, “Master, something has happened. Young Master

Ruixiang and Miss Yiran, they… they were discovered together.”

“Cough, cough, cough!” Before Huangfu Ruiling could react, Ye Lengan choked on her saliva. “You mean they were found in bed together?”

This was truly a big surprise! What on earth had happened to lead to such an unexpected development?

“Um…” Li San glanced at Huangfu Ruiling and continued, “Madam is very upset now and wants to drive Miss Yiran away. The banquet is still ongoing. How should we handle this situation?”

After a moment of consideration, Huangfu Ruiling said, ‘Let’s go and see for ourselves.’

Li San led the way, and Ye Lengan followed. Soon, the three of them arrived at the room upstairs.

Upon entering the room, the oppressive atmosphere inside was palpable.

Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying sat on the sofa with stern expressions, clearly furious. As for Huangfu Ruixiang, he sat on another sofa, his brow furrowed in contemplation. Only Zhongyu Yiran stood there, her face still flushed, her eyes brimming with tears that seemed on the verge of falling at any moment. Her hair was disheveled, and her clothing appeared disordered as if hastily thrown on.

Seeing this, Ye Lengan couldn’t help but silently condemn Huangfu Ruixiang in her heart. Regardless of the circumstances, the two of them had ended up in bed together. However, since it was two people discovered, Zhongyu Yiran shouldn’t be left standing there as if she were the guilty party.

Of course, her sympathy wasn’t directed at Zhongyu Yiran, because if her guess was correct, everything that had transpired today was likely orchestrated by Zhongyu Yiran. She simply couldn’t tolerate Huangfu

Ruixiangs indifferent attitude.

“Ruiling, you’ve arrived at the right time,” Zhongyu Liuying immediately said as soon as she saw Huangfu Ruiling. “Take Yiran away from here now. I don’t want to see her again.”

She could never have anticipated what had unfolded today. She had originally intended to find a room to rest, but upon entering, she stumbled upon Huangfu Ruixiang and Li Yiran on the bed together. Moreover, the room was filled with the scent of intimacy, leaving no room for doubt about what had happened between the two of them..
