There was endless speculation about why Huangpu Yue had suddenly chosen to partner with the Ling Clan. The most common theory was that the young miss of the Huangpu Clan had fallen for the increasingly powerful Ling Xiao. Such an idea was perfectly understandable. Although the Ling Family was a new noble house, their potential for growth was limitless, not to mention they now had a reclusive clan backing them. Ling Xiao himself was handsome, and his power was advancing by leaps and bounds, so it was only natural for him to be popular with the ladies. Furthermore, the Huangpu Clan's ambiguous stance on the matter, and Huangpu Yue's continued silence, led most people to accept this version of events.
But in reality, the truth is often far from what people guess. This time was no exception.
