Chapter 33 - 31: Disdain as an Enemy
As the foremost among the younger generation of the family, a powerful figure in the Acquired Ninth Layer, Ye Zhengyang was qualified to serve as a Cultivation Guide for other youths.
Not far away, some key members of the Ye Family were present, including an elder with authoritative power, watching Ye Zhengyang with nods of approval.
Within the young generation of the Ye Family, Ye Zhengyang truly was the most outstanding descendant; at a young age, he was already at the Acquired Ninth Layer, and his advancement to the Innate realm was surely not far off.
All young men and women present gazed at Ye Zhengyang with eyes full of fervor, admiration, and respect, feeding Ye Zhengyang’s ego, as his smile grew even broader.
Vanity, the temptation that every young person finds hard to resist.
However, Ye Zhengyang’s gaze would occasionally, intentionally or unintentionally, linger on the beautiful girl who stood out in the Martial Arts Arena, filled with fervency and possessiveness.
This girl, was none other than Ye Zimei.
Within the Ye Family, although all were kin, most were separated by five or six generations, making the blood relations quite thin, and thus allowing intra-family marriages.
And Ye Zimei, being the most beautiful girl in the family and gifted and intelligent, not to mention the beloved granddaughter of the Second Elder, naturally received a lot of affection and adoration from the family’s youths, including the currently top-ranked Ye Zhengyang.
As the leading youth of the family, he felt an unparalleled sense of superiority and had long seen Ye Zimei as his future wife. The close relationship between the three elders made him feel even more entitled.
Regrettably, faced with Ye Zhengyang’s ardent gaze, Ye Zimei kept up her usual aloof demeanor, showing none of the worship or affection that the other girls had for Ye Zhengyang.
