After receiving Murong Yanshu’s assurance, Ye Xiyuan felt a mix of anxiety and relief. She allowed Murong Yanshu’s people to escort her back home.

Once Ye Xiyuan had departed, Murong Yanshu cast a disapproving look at Nangong Xuyao. “Are you satisfied now? You’ve disrupted the entire banquet.

Did you do it on purpose?”

Nangong Xuyao didn’t deny it. “Mom, since you’re aware of the situation, why ask? I merely wanted to teach her a lesson, to make her realize that I’m not someone she can toy with.”

“No wonder you changed your mind so suddenly,” Murong Yanshu mused, then scolded him with a glare. “If you knew all along, why didn’t you inform me earlier? You even had me host such a grand banquet. Isn’t that inviting ridicule?”

“What’s there to ridicule?” Nangong Xuyao remained unfazed. “Even if it’s a jest, they’re only mocking Ye Xiyuan. Such a person aspiring to be the Nangong familys goddaughter is utterly delusional.”

“Let’s drop it,” Murong Yanshu sighed and rubbed her temples, her voice tinged with resignation. “Alright! The situation has unfolded this way. Now that it’s public, there’s nothing to be done.”

The silver lining was that she had formally acknowledged Ye Xiyuan as her goddaughter in her personal capacity, not on behalf of the Nangong family. Otherwise, she’d have to bear the brunt of ingratitude, pretending tonight’s incident never occurred.

“Mom, why fret over this?” Nangong Xuyao advised. “Even if Ye Xiyuan is your goddaughter in name, it’s just a title. If you wish to avoid her, you can easily minimize contact. Let her bear a false reputation; it won’t harm you.” “If only it were that simple,” Murong Yanshu lamented. “After tonight, Ye Xiyuan has connected herself to me. Even if we reduce our interactions, as long as she bears the title of my goddaughter, I can’t ignore her completely.”

“Mother, don’t dwell on this person. Pretend she doesn’t exist,” Nangong Xuyao sneered. “If she’s sensible, she’ll keep her distance, and we can pretend nothing happened. But if she insists on seeking attention, I’ll take back every favor I’ve granted her.”

“For now, let’s set this aside,” Murong Yanshu suggested, shaking her head. She turned serious as she looked at Nangong Xuyao. “Your priority is the upcoming Family Competition in the Hidden World. If you shine in that competition, the main family will surely take notice of you. Xuyao, understand that your future lies not in this ordinary world, but in the broader realm of the Hidden World.’

As one of the four prestigious families in the capital, the Nangong family held immense sway. However, in reality, they were but a minor branch in the Hidden World’s Nangong family. Even the current family head, her husband, had to defer to the Nangong gamily’s disciples from the Hidden World.

Fortunately, their son, Nangong Xuyao, displayed remarkable talent in cultivation, already reaching the second stage of the Qi Refining Phase at a young age. Such aptitude would make him a standout, even within the main family.

Previously, during his advancement, Nangong Xuyao had fallen victim to an ambush, nearly losing his life. Fortunately, he’d been rescued. That was why he’d been so grateful upon learning that Ye Xiyuan had been his savior. Little did he expect to discover tonight that Ye Xiyuan was an imposter.

“l understand.” Nangong Xuyao nodded, making a decision. “Starting tomorrow, I’ll directly head to the main family for cultivation. I’ll return after the Family Competition.”

“That’s a good plan,” Murong Yanshu agreed. “I’ll announce to the public that you’ve gone abroad.”

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ye Xiyuan had also returned to the Ye family..
