Chapter 876: Seeking Justice
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
All eyes were fixed on the entrance as Zhongyu Jiarui and Ye Wanwan stepped into the venue. The sight of Ye Wanwan, battered and bloodied, drew particular attention, with blood staining her lips and clothes.
Ye Wanwan leaned heavily against Zhongyu Jiarui, her complexion pallid, her breath shallow. She appeared fragile, as though teetering on the brink of collapse.
Witnessing this, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu rushed over, their concern evident.
Lian Mengzhu swiftly took charge, supporting Ye Wanwan, while Ye Hongxuan wasted no time retrieving a vial of medicine from his storage artifact. Pouring out a pill, he gently placed it in Ye Wanwan’s mouth.
As the medicine took effect, Ye Wanwan’s complexion visibly improved, though still lacking its usual vigor.
At that moment, Murong Xingrui approached, his expression anxious as he addressed his bedraggled fiancée. “Wanwan, what happened? You were fine just moments ago. Who did this to you?”
It was clear that Ye Wanwan had been assaulted. The audacity to commit such an act at the Enforcement Team’s banquet bordered on defiance against the organization.
Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu turned to Ye Wanwan, awaiting her response.
Though a hint of grievance flickered across her face, Ye Wanwan remained tight-lipped, unwilling to identify her assailant.
Such reticence puzzled observers. Ordinarily, anyone subjected to such violence would be eager to see justice served. Yet Ye Wanwan seemed disinclined to reveal the perpetrator’s identity, a baffling choice.
Nearby, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an observed the scene unfold.
Huangfu Ruiling glanced at Ye Leng’an, raising an eyebrow. “Was this your doing?”
His tone betrayed skepticism, indicating he doubted Ye Leng’an’s involvement.
He knew Ye Leng’an well. Had Ye Leng’an truly attacked, Ye Wanwan would not be standing. Furthermore, Ye Leng’an, as an alchemist, preferred subtler methods. If she sought retribution against Ye Wanwan, it would likely involve potent concoctions rather than direct assault.
“No.” Ye Leng’an shook her head. “She did this to herself. I suspect it’s an attempt to frame me. Her silence suggests she’s waiting for a more convenient scapegoat.”
Shortly after Ye Leng’an spoke, Zhongyu Jiarui could no longer contain herself. “Uncle, Auntie, and Young Master Murong, it was Ye Leng’an. She attacked Wanwan.”
With a pointed finger, Zhongyu Jiarui indicated Ye Leng’an, who lounged nearby. “I witnessed it firsthand in the restroom.”
All eyes turned to Ye Leng’an.
Subsequently, attention shifted to Huangfu Ruiling, curious to see how Master Huangfu would react to news of his fiancée’s transgression.
Yet, to everyone’s disappointment, neither Huangfu Ruiling nor Ye Leng’an betrayed any change in demeanor. They remained composed, as if untouched by the accusations.
Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu exchanged glances, their expressions fraught with shock and uncertainty. They questioned whether to believe Zhongyu Jiarui’s testimony.

Ye Hongxuan directed his gaze to Ye Wanwan, who leaned against Murong Xingrui. Furrowing his brow, he asked tentatively, “Wanwan, did Leng’an harm you?”
Though posed as a question, Ye Hongxuan already held an answer in his heart. Zhongyu Jiarui wouldn’t levy baseless accusations, especially knowing Ye Leng’an was Huangfu Ruiling’s fiancée.
Misjudging Ye Leng’an would invite conflict with the entire Huangfu family.
Although Zhongyu Jiarui was the legitimate daughter of Master Zhongyu, she wasn’t particularly favored. Moreover, her fiancé wasn’t from a prominent family either; he was just an inner sect disciple of the Nangong family, rumored to have come from the mortal world. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Upon hearing Ye Hongxuan’s inquiry, Ye Wanwan’s eyes flickered, yet she didn’t respond directly to him. Instead, she spoke up, “Father, let’s put an end to this matter here. I don’t wish to pursue it any further.”
Despite not admitting culpability, Ye Wanwan’s silence confirmed Zhongyu Jiarui’s claim. It was Ye Leng’an who had harmed her.
Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu’s expressions soured visibly. Locked in a silent exchange, they grappled with their dilemma.
If Ye Leng’an was indeed responsible, they were at a loss as to how to proceed. Their strained relationship with Ye Leng’an would only worsen if they pursued retribution. Yet, ignoring the matter left Wanwan in a pitiable state.
Their reproachful glances at Ye Leng’an betrayed their inner turmoil. Though Ye Leng’an had suffered, Wanwan was blameless. It was unjust for Ye Leng’an to vent her anger on her, especially considering Wanwan’s innocence in their feud.
Moreover, the one who refused to return to the Ye family was Ye Leng’an, not because they wouldn’t allow Ye Leng’an to return. It was Ye Leng’an who was venting her anger on Wanwan now, which was indeed unjustifiable!
However, they lacked the courage to confront Ye Leng’an. As parents, they bore responsibility for Ye Leng’an’s grievances.
The atmosphere grew increasingly tense, with all eyes fixed on the Ye family, Huangfu Ruiling, and Ye Leng’an.
Observing Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu’s reluctance to act, spectators found the situation increasingly perplexing.
After all, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu doted on their only daughter, Ye Wanwan. Their failure to seek redress for her appeared incongruous with their usual behavior.
