Chapter 112: No Choice
Seeing that Ye Ning was still like this, Ye Jingyao sighed and said, "Now that Su Haochen has been in this situation, you can't entrust him to take you into Lingfeng Academy."
"...What should Ning'er do?" Ye Ning wiped away her tears and calmed herself down a little.
“In a few days, the grandest auction in Lingyun Kingdom will open at Wugui Pavilion. I will take you there,” Ye Jingyao said.
Ye Ning was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, "The auction of Wugui Pavilion? Is that the auction that can gather all the major forces in the human realm?"
Ye Jingyao nodded: "That's right. In addition to the major powers in the human realm, members of the royal family will also appear. Ning'er, I hope you can befriend His Highness the Third Prince."
"To befriend His Highness the Third Prince?" Ye Ning murmured softly. She knew of His Highness the Third Prince, Huang Rongyu, but had never met him.
"The Third Prince is the Emperor's most beloved son. He possesses the dual talents of being born with two spiritual roots and having innate full spiritual power. He has also been taken in as a beloved disciple by the Grand Elder of Lingfeng Academy. His prominence is even greater than that of the Crown Prince."
"By associating with His Highness the Third Prince, you can not only gain access to the royal family, but also have the opportunity to gain admission to Lingfeng Academy." Ye Jingyao placed his hands on Ye Ning's shoulders and said earnestly, "Ning'er, you have to give up something to gain something. If you want to establish yourself in this world, you must give up things that have no use to you, understand?"
Ye Ning naturally knew that the "useless thing" her father was referring to was Su Hao Chen. Her eyes dimmed, and her pale, bloodless lips were slightly pursed.
"In short, this is your last chance. Think carefully about what I'm saying to you tonight."
Having said all that, there was no point in saying more. Ye Jingyao put down his hand, turned around and walked out of the room. As soon as he stepped out the door, he turned back again and said, "Born into a prominent family, interests are far more important than romantic feelings. You have no choice."
After speaking, he left Ye Ning's courtyard.
Ye Ning stood there, covering her face with her hands. After a long while, a cold laugh escaped from between her fingers.
"Heh... Is personal gain really more important than romantic feelings?"
Ye Ning slowly lowered her hand, tears still clinging to her face. Her eyes widened slightly, her expression a half-smile: "Brother Haochen, it's Ning'er who's sorry..."
"For the sake of the Ye family, for the sake of Father, and to make Ye Fei disappear completely, I must make the choice to give you up."
"You won't blame me, right?"
Her murmured voice carried a hint of desperate longing, and her body trembled like a flower swaying wildly in the night wind.
...
The Su family quietly processed Su Haochen's withdrawal from school, and Su Haochen himself never reappeared.
Although some students were surprised, they just laughed it off as the once-genius junior had become a down-on-his-luck junior. The name Su Haochen could no longer stir up a ripple in Lingfeng Academy.
After several days of recuperation and rest, Ye Fei's internal injuries were finally completely healed.
Even during the days she couldn't attend classes, Ye Fei didn't neglect her cultivation.
Today, the first auction in Lingyun Kingdom officially opens.
The Seventh Elder and Li Yuan arrived early at the courtyard outside Ye Fei's dormitory.
Ye Fei walked out dressed in red. Her injuries had healed, and she no longer looked as sickly as she had a few days ago.
The Seventh Elder looked Ye Fei up and down and said with a smile, "Little Fei'er, I rarely see you wearing such bright clothes!"
"Seventh Elder, you won't blame me for wearing the same outfit as you, will you?" Ye Fei smiled as she looked at the girl who was also wearing a red robe.
The Seventh Elder winked playfully at her: "Of course not, wearing the same color clothes will only make us look more like sisters!"
