Chapter 62 The Calm Before The Storm 2

The Great Elder nodded slightly, but there was no change in his expression.

Cautiously observing the Great Elder's reaction, Ye You asked carefully, "Grandfather's birthday is the day after tomorrow. Will sister You be able to rush back?"

Ye You was already the Yunxiao Sect Sect Master's disciple, and her identity was different from ordinary people. If Ye You could return for the Great Elder's birthday celebration, all family clans' family masters in Lin Town needed to be extremely respectful towards Ye You, much less the Second Elder and Ye Ling.

The Great Elder waved his hand. "She just entered the Yunxiao Sect, and cultivation will naturally be her main priority." He had never paid any attention to the people in the Ye family. Regardless of what he did, he was already fully prepared. Even if Ye Ling and the rest knew everything, they had no evidence and reason to counter him.

He did try to send people to assassinate Ye Ling and push the blame to the Second Elder, but so what?

Now, he was still the Great Elder of the Ye family, and since Ye Ling and the rest had no evidence, his position remained unshaken.

"Noted," Ye Xun said with an obedient nod.

…

The Second Elder's injuries were not serious and only needed a few days to rest and recuperate. Perhaps due to the Second Elder's return, Ye Ling's complexion became better.

Ye Qingtang went to the Si family in the afternoon to nurse Si Bai's body as usual.

As the Second Elder and Ye Ling watched Ye Qingtang leave the Ye residence, curiosity filled the Second Elder's heart.

"How did this girl establish relations with the Si family? I remember clearly that the Si family was pretty prejudiced against us, the Ye family, previously. When I returned to the residence, I think I heard that this girl and the Third Young Master Si…" The Second Elder looked at Ye Ling weirdly. Although Si Bai was frail, his natural talent was extremely high—far higher than Duan Tianrao. If Ye Qingtang could find a good man to marry, it would put the Second Elder's heart at ease.

Ye Ling let out a chuckle. "I am not clear either. Tang Tang seems to have become another person after her spirit root broke. She is now much more independent and confident. I suspected her and Third Young Master Si before as well, but she vowed that nothing was going on, so I didn't ask much."

The Second Elder was deep in thought.

A while later, Ye Qingtang reached the Si residence.

Master Si looked at Ye Qingtang and said,

"I heard that the Great Elder actually invited a few Duan Elders over on the day when Second Elder Ye ended his seclusion. Is this true?"

Ye Qingtang was a little surprised, as she never thought that Master Si would know of this incident. Without any intention to hide the truth, she nodded honestly.

Master Si scoffed, "Although I don't know what exactly happened that day, but from the Great Elder Ye's actions, I can tell that he is not a simple man. It is fortunate that the Second Elder returned safely though. He has always respected your father. With him in the Ye family, the Great Elder should not be able to try anything funny."

Disgust towards the Great Elder was written all over Master Si's face, and Ye Qingtang really wanted to laugh.

Looking at Ye Qingtang, Master Si got down to business and said, "Oh, Lord Mu Su will arrive in Lin Town two days later. Where do you want to meet?"

Joy filled Ye Qingtang.

Two days later?

Wasn't that the day of the Great Elder's birthday?

Ye Qingtang replied immediately, "May I trouble grandfather Si to convey to Lord Mu Su that I will be waiting for his arrival at the Ye residence two days later at night."

"You want to meet Mu Su at the Ye residence?" Master Si's face was full of shock when he heard it.
