Upon receiving the news, Ye Qingtang was stunned. Without wasting any time, she went straight to take a horse and rode quickly to where the Second Elder was in seclusion in.

In her previous life, Ye Ling lost his life the night before the Second Elder ended his seclusion. When Ye Qingtang was still mourning the death of her father, the Great Elder forcefully brought her to fetch the Second Elder. Then, Ye Qingtang still thought of finding out her father’s killer with the help of her loving second uncle once he ended his seclusion. However…

Just as the Second Elder just stepped out of the stone door, the Great Elder immediately ordered people forward to kill the Second Elder after condemning him for murdering the family master.

Helplessly…

The Ye Qingtang in the previous life was ignorant and completely did not know what happened. Furthermore, she had little ability and was not able to react due to the shock from the Great Elder’s actions. Even if she wanted to save the Second Elder, the Great Elder paid no heed to her words, ordered people to guard her from a side, and killed the Second Elder in front of her.

Up to this day, Ye Qingtang still vividly remembers the image of the Second Elder dying before her eyes.

Ye Qingtang took a deep breath and cleared her mind as she continuously increased the horse’s speed.

She did not expect the Great Elder to head there in advance.

If she remembered correctly, not only did the Great Elder personally invite people there to welcome the Second Elder’s ending of seclusion, but he even made Ye Xun invite a few Elders from the Duan family. It was obvious that he had set his mind on killing the Second Elder the moment he ended his seclusion!

Ye Qingtang accelerated and rode at full speed.

At the Ye family’s area for seclusion outside Lin Town, there were many people gathered.

With hands behind his back, the Great Elder looked at the tightly shut stone door with a cold gleam in his eyes.

“Great Elder, the Second Elder should be out in a while,” Ye Xun, who was standing beside the Great Elder, said with a smile.

The Great Elder gave a slight nod as his gaze swept across Ye Xun and landed on Duan Tianrao, who stood next to her. Today, Ye Xun, as Duan Tianrao’s fiancée, had invited a few Elders from the Duan family over on the basis of the Great Elder’s punishment of the Ye family betrayer.

The Second Elder’s ability was good, and the Great Elder was not fully confident that he could take down the Second Elder. Thus, he invited the Elders from the Duan family not only to frighten the Second Elder but also to serve as witnesses after the execution of the Second Elder for his crime.

Whether the Second Elder committed a crime was not important to the Duan family.

Now that Ye You was a direct disciple of the Yunxiao Sect Sec Master, it was natural that the Duan family viewed the Great Elder with greater importance. Furthermore, Ye Xun was close to the Great Elder. As such, the Duan family was willing to give face to the Great Elder.

“Thank you for coming today, Elders,” the Great Elder said with clasped hands.

An Elder from the Duan family replied, “Don’t worry. The Duan and Ye family are both part of the three greatest family clans in Lin Town and have friendly relations. Now that such an incident has happened in the Ye family, the Duan family is happy to help. We can also make use of this incident as a preventative wake-up call for those harboring evil intentions.”

The Great Elder smiled. “As the Great Elder, I must’ve made a mistake in my management for such a scandal to break out in the Ye family.”

“Why would you say that, Great Elder? You have already done very well. Although you’re an Elder, it’s impossible for you to take care of everything perfectly. Moreover, you almost lost your life because of this. How could you be blamed for this? Seeing that your complexion is pretty good today, I guess the injuries you sustained are not that serious?” asked a Duan family Elder.

“I am still fine, merely some abrasions only,” the Great Elder said slowly as he looked over at a Ye family carriage at a side. After seeing Ye Ling coming down from the carriage, the Great Elder did not say anything much as he stared at the tightly shut stone door.
