Chapter 5: Departure

Seeing Ye Leng'an's determined expression, Ye Li's face darkened. He had already tried his best to persuade her to stay, yet he hadn't expected Ye Leng'an to be so ungrateful and insist on leaving.

Was the Ye family really better than the Ye family?

Lin Wanqin, on the other hand, was very reluctant. "Leng'an, are you really going to leave like this?"

"Dad, Mom," Ye Leng'an picked up the luggage by her feet. "Brother, take care of yourselves."

With that, she turned around and left immediately.

Her clean and decisive departure left everyone present at a loss for words, unable to find any way to stop her.

"System, what do we do now?" Ye Xiyuan called out in her mind.

However, the system failed to give her any response. She did not press further.

After leaving the Ye family, Ye Leng'an did not go to the Ye residence, but instead went to an old residential community.

Looking at the small house, which could be described as worlds apart from the Ye family home, Ye Leng'an felt no discomfort. She sat directly on the sofa and let out a sigh of relief.

This small apartment had been bought with the prize money she won from a competition in her third year of middle school. She didn't know why she had been possessed by such a whim to buy it back then, but looking at it now, it seemed she had possessed great foresight.

Sitting on the sofa, Ye Leng'an fell into deep thought. Back at the Ye house, Ye Xiyuan's behavior had been very strange.

At first, Ye Xiyuan clearly wanted to drive her out of the Ye family. But then, for some unknown reason, she suddenly changed her mind. She hadn't noticed it in her past life, but looking at it now, Ye Xiyuan's behavior was indeed very odd. What exactly was the reason for Ye Xiyuan's one-hundred-and-eighty-degree change in attitude in such a short amount of time?

Furthermore—

A dark glint flashed in Ye Leng'an's eyes.

She was no longer the person she used to be. Although her current cultivation was not at its peak, she could confidently say that in this world, she was virtually peerless.

Just now, she had clearly sensed a strange fluctuation suddenly appearing from Ye Xiyuan.

That strange fluctuation was not cultivation, yet it didn't seem like something that should exist in this world either.

It seemed that her past tragedy might not be as simple as it appeared on the surface. At the very least, Ye Xiyuan was quite something. She definitely had secrets.

"This is truly interesting!" Ye Leng'an rested her chin on one hand. "It seems there was a reason why my past life was so miserable!"

Meanwhile, at the Ye residence—

Ye Xiyuan looked around her room, a look of dissatisfaction on her face.

When she had just passed by Ye Leng'an's room, the door hadn't been fully closed. Peering through the crack, she had seen the scene inside.

That room was almost twice as large as the one she currently lived in, and the furnishings were much better than hers.

She was clearly the daughter of the Ye family, the eldest young lady of this house, yet her room was actually inferior to that of a fake.

She knew in her heart that although Ye Leng'an had left the Ye family, it didn't mean her parents and brother had forgotten her.

Judging from the situation just now, Ye Leng'an still held a significant position in their hearts. What she needed to do now was to replace Ye Leng'an's position in their hearts as quickly as possible.

"System, are you there?" Ye Xiyuan tried calling out.

For some reason, the system had suddenly stopped responding.
