The Third Elder abruptly turned around and saw the white-haired old man who had appeared outside the hall. He immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"Great Elder, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were going to return? I could have sent someone to wait outside the city gates," Third Elder said, pretending to be calm.
The Great Elder was already over eighty years old. Although he had a head full of white hair, his spirit did not diminish. At first glance, he looked at most fifty years old.
"There's no need to go through all that trouble." The First Elder didn't notice the Third Elder's nervousness. After that, he sat down in the main hall. The beautiful young woman who had come with the First Elder stood obediently beside the First Elder.
Seeing the Great Elder take his seat, the girl turned to look at the Third Elder and said,
"Third Elder, Grandfather and I will send Sister You to Yunxiao Sect this time. Yunxiao Sect is indeed one of the three super sects. Now that Sister You has become a disciple of the Yunxiao Sect Sect Master, she will definitely have a meteoric rise in the future, and our Ye Family will also prosper. "
The girl who spoke was called Ye Xun. Although her surname was Ye, she did not have the bloodline of the Ye Family. When she was still a baby, she was picked up by Ye Qingtang's father and brought back to the Ye Family to be raised with Ye Qingtang.
However …
Ye Xun had already turned to the Great Elder when Ye Qingtang's parents went missing.
"It's my Ye Clan's fortune that You 'er was able to receive the Sect Master's care." The Grand Elder spoke indifferently, yet the space between his brows couldn't conceal a wisp of pride.
Yunxiao Sect was so powerful that it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens for many prestigious families and relatives of the emperor to curry favor with them. Yet, his granddaughter relied on that supreme-grade spirit root to become the disciple of the Yunxiao Sect Sect Master. In the future, she would be a rising star, and she would definitely be a genius of her generation!
Thinking of the supreme-grade spirit root he dug out from Ye Qingtang, the Great Elder pretended to ask casually. "Third Brother, did anything strange happen in the residence during the time you were at home?"
The Third Elder's heart skipped a beat, and his complexion became increasingly unsightly. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "There's … nothing unusual."
The moment he finished speaking, the head elder's gaze swept towards the third elder, and his eyes were filled with coldness.
"Nothing out of the ordinary?" he asked in a deep voice. His voice suddenly became colder.
The Third Elder's body stiffened.
The Great Elder narrowed his eyes. "Third Brother, you should know that this is not the answer I want."
The Third Elder's heart turned cold. What the Great Elder wanted was news of Ye Qingtang's death!
"Don't tell me that Ye Qingtang is still alive," the Great Elder said darkly when he saw that the Third Elder was hesitating to speak.
"Yes …" Third Elder braced himself and answered.
A crisp clang resounded!
The Great Elder directly smashed the cup in his hand onto the Third Elder's head. Bright red blood instantly exploded on the Third Elder's forehead.
"Trash!" The Great Elder stared coldly at the Third Elder.
The Third Elder felt a stabbing pain in his forehead, but he didn't dare to get angry. He could only lower his head and say nothing.
Ye Xun was surprised to hear that Ye Qingtang was still alive, but she quickly composed herself.
"Third Elder, leaving Ye Qingtang alive is a calamity to both the Ye Family and Sister You. You must know that Yunxiao Sect values Sister You's spirit root …" Ye Xun looked at the Great Elder hesitantly.
The Third Elder secretly glanced at Ye Xun. Ye Xun grew up with Ye Qingtang, and Ye Qingtang's father doted on her like his own daughter. Yet now, Ye Xun's words were trying to kill Ye Qingtang!
