Li Hentian replied nonchalantly, taking a sip of tea, a barely noticeable serene smile appearing in his eyes.

"You really deserve a beating." Ye Huan was so angry his teeth itched!

"Thank you for your compliment."

Li Hentian finished speaking and asked Old Master Wang, "So, do you mind?"

"If it were someone else, I would mind. But your grandson..." Old Master Wang slowly shook his head, "I don't mind. To marry him as a concubine is Xiang'er's fortune."

"Then this marriage is settled."

Li Hentian chuckled softly, then turned his head to Wang Huifang beside him and said, "Xiao Wang, pick a free time to come over to the Li Family mansion. We'll discuss Ye Huan and Dragon Fragrance's matters in detail…"

"I say, don't go too far!"

Ye Huan deliberately lowered his tone, interrupting Li Hentian, his face full of displeasure, thinking how this old man always talks to himself, not caring a bit about others' opinions?

Really deserves a beating!

"Next time for sure, next time for sure."

Wang Huifang, seeing the atmosphere turning sour, hurriedly smiled and smoothed things over!

Of course, her "next time for sure" did not mean whether this marriage could be discussed next time, but rather the next visit to the Li Family mansion!

Dragon Fragrance was indifferent to all men, but at Tingxiang Pavilion, she was momentarily entranced by Ye Huan. If she didn't seize this chance to marry her off to Ye Huan, she would be single for life!

And Ye Huan is so outstanding, her daughter has indeed gotten a great deal!

Thinking of this, Wang Huifang glanced at Dragon Fragrance with some ambiguity, as if to say, "You're in luck, go ahead and secretly rejoice!"

At this moment, Dragon Fragrance's face was flushed red, even to the tips of her ears, as she shyly bowed her head!

Her heart was pounding non-stop!

As the underground queen of the southern district, it was the first time she had shown such a bashful expression!

"Alright, old Li, you grandparents should stop bickering." Old Master Wang also smoothed things over, then squinted his eyes meaningfully, "Xiao Ye, you came here, it's not just to see me, right?"

"Yes, there's something I want to ask you."

Ye Huan took out the Soul-Suppressing Jade, holding a red string hanging from it.

Just about to speak, he glanced at Wang Huifang and Dragon Fragrance, as well as Li Hentian, and swallowed his words back.

Wang Huifang, being perceptive, led Dragon Fragrance out of the ward and closed the door.

But Li Hentian sat there, unmovable, with no intent to leave.

"Hey, I say, can't you take a hint?" Ye Huan snapped unpleasantly.

Li Hentian sat there drinking tea, not moving, neither arguing with Ye Huan nor leaving the ward.

Ye Huan acquiesced, ignoring him, turned to Old Master Wang, and said seriously, "Old Wang, I came here to inquire about the Soul-Suppressing Jade."

Then, he fully revealed the strange incidents regarding the Soul-Suppressing Jade that occurred days before, like the emerald barrier, and the spontaneous sense of familiarity towards the Soul-Suppressing Jade.

Upon hearing, Old Master Wang's expression changed slightly before returning to normal, his brows furrowed into a "川" character: "Is there such a thing?"

"Yes, I find it very strange too."

"I learned from my master about the seven pieces of Ancient Divine Jade, aware of some of the Soul-Suppressing Jade's effects, but I never heard it has defensive power, nor do I know why I felt a sense of familiarity towards it, mastering its use instantly."

"And since the Soul-Suppressing Jade has been passed down in the Wang Family, I thought Old Master Wang would know more about it, hence I came to ask you."

Ye Huan spoke earnestly.

On the surface, Old Master Wang made a pensive look, but in reality, subtly exchanged a glance with Li Hentian in 0.01 seconds.

Within 0.01 seconds, the two completed a simple exchange with their eyes!

"Sorry, when the Soul-Suppressing Jade was passed to me, the Wang Family had declined for over a hundred years. Regarding its effects and events, I know very little, but I can confirm one thing."

"The fact that you feel a sense of familiarity when using it, and it shines more brightly in your hands, means it acknowledges you as its new owner. This further confirms my decision to gift you this jade."

Old Master Wang's eyes sparkled: "Absolutely correct!"

Hearing this, Ye Huan pinched his chin, frowning, and carefully recalled.

It seemed true; the jade became dimmer in Liu Tianyun's hands but was bright green and luminous in his.

"Xiao Ye, to be honest, this jade has been in my possession for decades, yet I've never successfully activated it. But you, having it for less than a day, mastered the method to activate and use it."

"This indicates that you should be its owner, and its mysteries should be uncovered by you, the owner. I, an outsider, can't help you at all."

Old Master Wang's acting was excellent, deliberately showing a helpless stance.

"I understand, thank you."

Though he didn't gather any valuable information, he did gain some clues; Ye Huan sincerely thanked him.

Afterwards, he checked Old Master Wang's injuries, ensuring there were no serious issues, reminded him of some precautions, and then turned to leave.

As Ye Huan turned and slammed the ward door shut with a "bang," and his figure disappeared completely, Old Master Wang could no longer keep up the act. His face showed intense shock, and the look he directed at Li Hentian was equally astonished!

He was so shocked that he sat straight up!

"Your grandson, could he truly be 'that powerhouse'!?"
