Chapter 208 Necklace of the same material
Time flies, Ye Leng'an has been in the Hidden World for a while, and the family competition is about to be held.
During this time, Ye Leng'an was like a vacation, and I had a good time here. On weekdays, if Huangfu Ruiling had time, he would accompany her to play around. Otherwise, she just wandered casually outside by herself. Of course, sometimes she would directly accompany Huangfu Ruiling to handle official business, and even offered a few suggestions from time to time. In many cases, her suggestions will give people a feeling of enlightenment.
In just a short period of time, the elders in the Huangfu family have all accepted Ye Leng'an. Of course, apart from Ye Leng'an's novel concepts, there is also Ye Leng'an's strength that he shows in front of them from time to time. Therefore, when they knew that Ye Leng'an was still a high-level alchemist, they were already able to adapt well.
Those elders can be said to be very happy. Although in the past, because Ye Leng'an was Huangfu Ruiling's fiancée, they would be polite to Ye Leng'an. However, after witnessing overnight Leng'an's ability, they felt that, as expected, the head of the house is still the head of the house, and the vision of choosing a fiancee is vicious, and they are absolutely incomparable.
So, now Ye Leng'an's status in the Huangfu family is rising day by day, and has already kept pace with Huangfu Ruiling.
On this day, Huangfu Ruiling and the elders were discussing the upcoming family competition. Ye Leng'an was not interested, so he didn't participate. She was alone, left the Huangfu family, and planned to go out to play.
When passing the martial arts training ground, she saw Huangfu Ruixiang again. However, she didn't intend to reveal her identity, so she left without even looking at Huangfu Ruixiang.
Huangfu Ruiling looked at the figure walking past, and for some reason, there was always a sense of familiarity. In fact, not only for Miss Ye, but also for the Patriarch.
However, relying on his identity, it is not easy to see the two of them on weekdays.
A girl next to Huangfu Ruixiang who is also an outer disciple at the same time, after seeing the other's thoughtful expression, couldn't help but ask, "Ruixiang, what are you thinking about?"
When talking to Huangfu Ruixiang, her cheeks blushed involuntarily. In fact, she fell in love with Huangfu Ruixiang the first time she saw him. Although he was only an outer disciple, Huangfu Ruixiang looked different from the others, like a handsome young man of an aristocratic family. And, most importantly, Huangfu Ruixiang's surname is Huangfu. She guessed in her heart that Huangfu Ruixiang must be related to the Huangfu family. After all, in the hidden world, there are not many people with the surname Huangfu.
She felt that Huangfu Ruixiang's current status as an outer disciple must be temporary. In the future, he will definitely enter the inner sect of the Huangfu family. Therefore, she likes Huangfu Ruixiang, but she also has her own little thoughts.
She naturally saw Huangfu Ruixiang lost his mind after seeing Ye Leng'an, but she didn't think much about it. After all, everyone here knows what kind of identity the other party is. She is the fiancée of the head of the family, and it is definitely not something that people like them can imagine.
"It's okay." Huangfu Ruixiang shook his head, looked at the girl, said softly, "I just don't know why, I always feel like I've seen the Patriarch's fiancée somewhere before. By the way, Yating, do you know the identity of that Miss Ye?"
Although both are outer disciples, he and Zhong Yating are different. He is the outer sect disciple of the Huangfu family in the hidden world, but this Zhong Yating is a little girl from a remote mountain village in the hidden world. If it weren't for a coincidence, it would be impossible to become an outer disciple of the Huangfu family. Moreover, becoming an outer disciple may be the peak that Zhong Yating can reach in her life.
Zhong Yating likes him, and he naturally sensed it. However, although enjoying Zhong Yating's tenderness, in his heart, he never thought of developing any relationship with Zhong Yating. In his heart, Zhong Yating could not even compare to Li Yiran. Anyway, Li Yiran's face was still so beautiful, but this Zhong Yating was at most Xiaojiabiyu.
However, even so, he did not reject Zhong Yating's tenderness. After all, he is just a very normal man, so naturally he enjoys such ambiguity.
"We people can't know this." Zhong Yating looked at Huangfu Ruixiang, the smile on her face became more gentle, "However, it is said that her name is Ye An'an."
"The elders in the family admire her very much! I heard that in the family, her status is exactly the same as that of the head of the family."
"Ye Anan." Huangfu Ruixiang frowned, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, "The Patriarch's name is Huangfu Ling, isn't it?"
"Yes!" After hearing Huangfu Ruixiang's words, Zhong Yating pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Ruixiang, what's the matter with you! Can't even remember the name of the Patriarch? But, in the future, it's better not to say these three words directly. The name of the Patriarch is not something we can say casually."
At this time, Huangfu Ruixiang's doubts deepened.
Huangfu Ling and Huangfu Ruiling, Ye An'an and Ye Leng'an, why are their names so close! No matter how you look at it, it looks like a pseudonym. Moreover, the most important thing is that after coming to the hidden world, he has never seen Huangfu Ruiling.
Huangfu Ruiling came to the Huangfu family earlier than him, and he also knew very well that Huangfu Ruiling's position in the Huangfu family should be very important. However, he couldn't find any news about Huangfu Ruiling in the Huangfu family. However, he never thought that Huangfu Ruiling was lying, because once an elder came to warn him not to ask casually about Huangfu Ruiling.
At that time, he would never connect Huangfu Ruiling with Huangfu Ling. However, now that he knew that Patriarch Huangfuling's fiancée was called Ye An'an, although he found it incredible, he still couldn't help but have this absurd thought. That is Huangfu Ruiling and Huangfu Ling, could it be the same person. His own elder brother, Huangfu Ruiling is the head of the Huangfu family in this hidden world.
No, not possible.
After thinking about it, Huangfu Ruixiang felt that he was thinking too much. Huangfu Ruiling was sitting in a wheelchair, but the Patriarch Huangfu Ling was not. He never doubted Huangfu Ruiling's leg injury, because it was certified by many authoritative doctors. Even at that time, before his grandfather passed away, he tried every means to find a doctor in the hidden world for help. All the diagnoses were unanimously concluded that Huangfu Ruiling would never be able to stand up in his life.
He kept persuading himself in his heart, but the seeds of doubt in Huangfu Ruixiang's heart were still taking root and sprouting.
"Ruixiang, Ruixiang, what are you doing?" Zhong Yating quickly called Huangfu Ruixiang's name, "What are you thinking?"
Amid Zhong Yating's call, Huangfu Ruixiang also came back to his senses, he smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing, I just miss home a little bit."
"So that's how it is!" Zhong Yating continued with a smile, "It's okay, after the family competition is over, you can go home and have a look. But, I really envy you! I don't have a home anymore, even if I want to go back, there is no one at home. So, in normal times, even if I am free, I won't go back."
When it came to the end, her tone was a little sad, and even her eyes were a little moist. After finishing speaking, she quietly waited for Huangfu Ruixiang's comfort.
However, they haven't seen any action from the other party for a long time.
Huangfu Ruixiang didn't notice what Zhong Yating was saying at all, and now his mind is full of his own conjectures just now. Although I think this is simply a fantasy. However, he still couldn't stop the crazy thoughts in his heart.
Seeing that Huangfu Ruixiang hadn't acted for a long time, Zhong Yating was planning to take action herself.
At this moment, Huangfu Ruixiang smiled at Zhong Yating, and said, "Yating, I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered that there are still some things to deal with, so I'll go back first. You should practice hard!"
After finishing speaking, Huangfu Ruixiang left in a hurry.
He intends to find a way to contact his parents first, and ask them to check for help, to see if Ye Leng'an is still at Fan World.
How Ye Leng'an is still in the mortal world, it is very likely that he was thinking too much about everything. However, if Ye Leng'an is not around, then his conjecture is very likely to be true.
If Huangfu Ling and Huangfu Ruiling are really the same person, then his biological brother is not the head of the Huangfu family. Then is he the Patriarch's younger brother?
Thinking of this, Huangfu Ruixiang couldn't restrain his excitement. It's obviously something that hasn't been written yet, but he just can't control the excitement in his heart.
If his guess is true, then even if he and Huangfu Ruiling don't have a deep relationship, but with the identity of the Patriarch's younger brother, wouldn't his status in the family be different?
Thinking of this, Huangfu Ruixiang's pace became faster, even with a hint of urgency.
Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng'an on the other side didn't know that Huangfu Ruixiang had so many guesses because of their similar names.
However, even if they know, they probably don't care! The reason why they wear masks and use aliases is actually just to save trouble. But even if Huangfu Ruixiang really found out, they didn't really care about it.
Moreover, as long as they don't admit it, it means that Huangfu Ruixiang really guessed and confirmed it, and it's useless. Because this is the Huangfu family, and Huangfu Ruiling is the head of the Huangfu family. Therefore, as long as he said that he was Huangfu Ling and not Huangfu Ruiling, no one would dare to question him.
Ye Leng'an has already visited the entire Imperial City. However, she is still very interested in this place, because it is very different from the ordinary world, and it is more inclined to the ancient style, which gives her the illusion of returning to the world of comprehension.
At this time, she was strolling casually on the busiest street in the Imperial City, and inadvertently, she came to a jewelry store.
Even here in the hidden world, there are many women who like jewelry. After all, even if born in the hidden world, it is impossible to change the instinct of a woman to like beautiful and delicate things. Therefore, jewelry stores are also very popular with women in the hidden world.
Ye Leng'an is also a girl, so she is naturally interested in these jewelry and the like. However, the jewelry stores in the hidden world are similar to those in the ordinary world, and the styles are not too different. Therefore, although she saw a lot of good-looking ones, it didn't arouse her any desire to buy, she just looked at them casually.
Different from Fanshijie, in the jewelry store, after you enter the door, there will not be any clerks following you to lobby and sell. As long as you don't have any special needs, just look at it yourself first, and then ask the clerk to take it out for you to see which one you like.
Suddenly, Ye Leng'an's eyes flashed a faint light, but the expression on her face didn't change at all. She called a clerk, pointed to a necklace, and said, "Hi, please show me this necklace."
"Okay." The clerk was very polite, and immediately took out the necklace and handed it to Ye Leng'an.
Ye Leng'an took the necklace and began to look at it.
This necklace is not much different from other necklaces. The silver necklace is inlaid with blue diamonds, which shine brightly in the sun. However, it was not the gemstone that attracted her attention, but the material of the necklace.
If she read correctly, the material of this necklace is the same as the bracelet she got from Pang Tingting. Earlier, Huangfu Ruiling said that this material is mostly used for refining weapons, and very few people can use it to make jewelry. So, does this necklace have anything to do with the bracelet in her hand?
The clerk on the side waited quietly, without urging or making any introductions. As long as the guests don't need it, they won't speak at will.
After a long time, Ye Leng'an looked at the clerk, smiled and said, "This necklace is very beautiful! Moreover, the material used to make the main body of this necklace seems to be very special! I haven't seen it before."
"Yes, my guest, this material is indeed a bit special." The clerk smiled and replied, "This material is usually used for refining tools, and is rarely used for jewelry. However, jewelry made of this material actually has a special meaning."
"Oh, what's the implication?" A hint of interest appeared on Ye Leng'an's face at the right time.
"This material is very strong because it is usually used for refining weapons." The clerk smiled and introduced, "So, this is also a metaphor for the extremely strong love for you."
"Oh, is that so?" Ye Leng'an smiled slightly, "Then the implication is quite good! Many people will buy jewelry made of this material as gifts for their lovers!"
"That's true." The clerk continued, "However, not all craftsmen can make jewelry of this material. So there are not many finished products."
"Do all jewelry stores have this kind of jewelry?" Ye Leng'an continued to ask, "Or is it only in your shop?"
Although these questions from Ye Leng'an were very strange, the clerk didn't ask anything, and continued to reply, "Jewelry made of this material is expensive, so not all jewelry stores have it. Only a few large jewelry stores have it."
Ye Leng'an nodded, then put down the necklace in his hand, smiled and said, "Help me wrap this jewelry up!"
She didn't particularly like or dislike this necklace. However, she asked the clerk so many things, and he explained to her in detail, and his attitude was very good. So, she thinks, she should buy it!
Although he had always been very polite, after hearing Ye Leng'an's words, the clerk couldn't help but flash a glimmer of joy in his eyes. After all, although this is the Hidden World, many rules are similar to those in the Mortal World. The income of these shop assistants is naturally the most of the commission.
Now the necklace this customer bought is worth a lot, and the commission is also very high. Therefore, she was naturally very happy to see the customer bought the necklace.
"OK, just a second."
The clerk immediately took the necklace and left the counter.
While waiting for the clerk to go through the formalities, Ye Leng'an looked at it casually, a little bored. Apart from the necklace, she doesn't like other jewelry too much, so she has no desire to buy it.
While waiting, Ye Leng'an saw Ye Wan walk into this jewelry store, and beside her was a lady who looked about 30 years old. However, although the noble lady looks only in her thirties, this is the hidden world, so it is really uncertain what the noble lady's age is.
Ye Leng'an saw Ye Wan, Ye Wan naturally also saw Ye Leng'an.
When she saw Ye Leng'an, she froze for a moment, and then her face became a little bad. Because as soon as she saw Ye Leng'an, she couldn't help but think of those things at the previous auction, as well as the consequences of her being punished by the family. And all of this is thanks to Ye Leng'an.
Today her grounding is completely over. Originally, she didn't intend to go out, but she couldn't hold back her mother, so she came out together.
My mother went out because my aunt's birthday was coming up, so I planned to come here to choose a gift for my aunt. She wasn't very interested in choosing a gift. However, she really likes the jewelry in this store. After all, she is also a young girl, so she naturally likes these jewelry and the like.
It's just that, I didn't expect that as soon as I entered this store, I saw the person I hated the most. Sure enough, the enemy's road is narrow, isn't it?
Ye Leng'an also sighed in his heart, what kind of fate is this between her and Yewan! Obviously the two of them don't like each other, but they always meet each other. What a **** coincidence! The time she has been in the hidden world is not too long, and the imperial city is not too small, but she has met the night three times.
Lian Mengzhu noticed something strange about the daughter beside her. She stretched out her hand, patted Yewan's shoulder, and said, "Wanwan, what's wrong?"
Ye Wanwan withdrew her gaze, although she was a little reluctant, she still turned towards Ye Leng'an, and said, "Mother, that is Huangfu Patriarch's fiancée—Ye An'an."
Looking in the direction of Yewan, Lian Mengzhu saw the person standing there at a glance. However, with just one glance, she couldn't take her eyes away.
The girl looked about the same age as her own daughter. Although she wore a small mask on her face, covering a quarter of her cheeks, she was still an alluring beauty.
A head of silky black hair fluttering in the wind, slender phoenix eyebrows, a pair of eyes like stars and moons, an exquisite Qiong nose, pink cheeks slightly hazy, red lips like dripping cherries, a flawless melon-seeded face, smooth snow-skinned skin, and a light figure, refined and elegant.
The most important thing is that dusty temperament, even if you just stand there quietly, you can't hide it, and people's eyes will be attracted involuntarily.
However, what made her unable to look away was not how beautiful and temperamental this girl was, but that when she saw that girl, she always had a sense of familiarity and closeness. She always felt as if she had seen the face outside the mask before.
This time it was Yewan's turn to frown. Seeing her mother's dazed look, she quickly took her mother's hand, "Mom, how are you? Is there anything wrong?"
I don't know why, but she doesn't like her mother's eyes on Ye An'an. Because then she will always have a very uncomfortable feeling, as if her mother is going to be snatched away.
She didn't know why she felt this way, but she just had it out of nowhere. Moreover, she always felt that she and Ye An'an were old enemies, and she didn't want people around her to pay too much attention to Ye An'an.
"No, I just think that Miss Ye looks very familiar." Lian Mengzhu came back to her senses, then smiled lightly, and said, "Maybe it's my illusion!"
"Mother, what are you talking about!" Ye Wan couldn't help frowning, "What's so special about this Ye An'an! You must have never seen her before,"
"That's right." Lian Mengzhu nodded with a smile, and then said, "Okay, since we saw it, let's go up and say hello! The other party is the fiancée of Patriarch Huangfu. If we meet, it is always bad to treat him as invisible, and it will easily affect the relationship between our two families."
