“The Enforcement Team has been investigating.” Huangfu Ruilings eyes glinted with a hint of mystery as he continued, “It’s just that the evil cultivator is well hidden. Moreover… I have a feeling that he might be more active in the mortal world, doing things that defy common sense.”

Ye Leng’an nodded in agreement. “Indeed, operating in the mortal world provides better concealment, making it less likely to be discovered.”

After all, individuals from the Hidden World rarely paid attention to mundane affairs. The Hidden World was not overly concerned with the disappearances in the mortal world.

Therefore, persecution in the mortal world was likely more prevalent than in the Hidden World.

Clearly, Huangfu Ruiling had considered this. “The Enforcement Team has initiated investigations across the mortal world. Once any clues are discovered, they will be reported immediately.”

Ye Leng’an nodded without further comment.

Perhaps due to the weightiness of the topic, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan fell into a thoughtful silence. They quietly finished their dinner without exchanging more words.

After the meal, Huangfu Ruiling escorted Ye Lengan back home. The car was parked at the villa entrance, and the two bid their farewells.

“Don’t dwell on it. Take a good rest.” Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Lengan, extended his hand to tousle her hair, and smiled. “After tomorrow’s exam, let’s celebrate.’

Hearing this, Ye Lengan chuckled. “What’s there to celebrate? It’s just an exam.”

“Trust me this time.” Huangfu Ruiling gazed at Ye Lengan, continuing, “Do well in the exam. Tomorrow night, I’ll have a surprise for you.”

“Sure!” Ye Lengan nodded, then blinked, looking at Huangfu Ruiling curiously. “What’s the surprise?”

“l said it’s a surprise!” Huangfu Ruiling reached out and playfully flicked Ye Leng’an’s nose, smiling as he said, “If I tell you in advance, it won’t be much of a surprise!”

Despite feeling intrigued, Ye Lengan refrained from further questions.

Watching Ye Lengan enter the villa, Huangfu Ruiling’s warm expression immediately turned cold. He glanced at Li San in front of him and ordered, “Let’s go!’

After Ye Lengan returned home, she took a shower and went straight to bed to rest.

While Ye Lengan enjoyed a peaceful night’s sleep, Ye Xiyuan, another character, tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

Though lying down, sleep eluded her, especially when contemplating the impending exam. The uncertainty of what awaited her after the college entrance exam results haunted her thoughts.

She dared not imagine what kind of storm awaited her when the college entrance exam results were released. Many people around her were closely monitoring her performance, especially considering that she had skipped from the first year directly to the third year to participate in this year’s college entrance exam. If her results were not satisfactory, everything she had done would become a substantial joke.

Almost until daybreak, Ye Xiyuan struggled to fall asleep. However, shortly after managing to doze off, she was abruptly awakened by the alarm clock.

With a weary face, Ye Xiyuan yawned her way to the dining room.

Breakfast was already prepared, and Ye Li and Lin Wanqin were waiting at the table. Clearly, they attached great importance to Ye Xiyuan’s college entrance exam.

Ye Li frowned upon seeing Ye Xiyuan’s exhausted appearance, reproachfully remarking, “Xiyuan, did you stay up late last night?”

Startled by Ye Li’s question, Ye Xiyuan hesitated for a moment before forcing herself to appear alert. “No, I went to bed early.”

Though she had indeed gone to bed early, sleep had eluded her.

“Early to bed?” Ye Li’s tone was less than favorable. “Look at those dark circles.

You could be mistaken for a panda.”

“Honey, that’s enough. Don’t say more,” Lin Wanqin quickly interjected. “Xiyuan did go to bed early. Perhaps she couldn’t sleep well due to nervousness. She has an exam today!”

This was a subtle reminder to Ye Li not to make reproachful comments that could affect Ye Xiyuan’s mood, especially on the day of her exam.

Ye Li paused, and his tone softened. “Alright, let’s not talk so much. Hurry and have breakfast! After that, we’ll accompany you to the exam venue.”

Hearing this, Ye Xiyuan was momentarily taken aback. She looked up with an unnatural expression. “No need, Dad, Mom. I can go alone. It’s just an exam. Nothing serious.”

Had this proposal been made yesterday, Ye Xiyuan would have been thrilled. It signified her parents’ value for her. However, today she felt a tinge of guilt. If she didn’t achieve good results, what her parents did might become a basis for blaming her!

“No problem; we have time.” Lin Wanqin smiled. “Besides, your college entrance exam is a big deal! Once the results are out, we’ll celebrate and let everyone know that I have such an outstanding daughter.”

Ye Xiyuan initially intended to refuse but was cut off by Ye Li.

“Finish your breakfast quickly!” Ye Li said directly, “Don’t delay the exam.” The words of refusal lingered on her tongue, but she couldn’t utter them.

Ultimately, Ye Xiyuan could only silently eat her breakfast, making a concerted effort to compose herself for the impending exam.

Time passed swiftly, and the college entrance exam concluded.

Outside the exam hall, the third-year students, regardless of their performance, breathed sighs of relief. After all, they were well aware of their usual academic standing. Miraculous transformations during the college entrance exam were rare.

When Ye Xiyuan exited the exam hall, her steps were feeble. Despite expecting differences in today’s questions, she clung to a glimmer of hope.

However, when she received the exam questions, all her hopes were dashed. The questions were different and more challenging than she remembered.

Given her subpar revision and the heightened difficulty of the questions, coupled with inadequate rest the previous night, she felt completely lost during the exam, unable to conjure any answers.

She believed her performance was worse than the previous day.

Yet, upon spotting Lin Wanqin waiting at the entrance, Ye Xiyuan swiftly adjusted her emotions, approaching with a smile..
