It was not easy for the Great Elder to protect Ye Xun in front of everyone. He frowned at Ye Xun.
Fear flickered in Ye Xun's eyes as well.
She was very clear that Ye Qingtang's move had directly forced her and the Great Elder into an awkward situation.
No matter how much they wanted to kill Ye Qingtang, these things could not be done openly. Otherwise, regardless of whether it was the Great Elder or her, their reputations would be ruined.
Even Ye You, who was in the Yunxiao Sect, would probably be tarnished.
Ye Qingtang, who originally thought that she could get rid of easily, counterattacked and caught Ye Xun and the Great Elder off guard.
"Qingtang, always leave a way out. Don't be too overbearing," the Great Elder said in a dark voice.
Ye Qingtang smiled. Who exactly was the one being overbearing?
"I'm really surprised that the Great Elder is protecting Ye Xun. I can't differentiate who is the Eldest Young Lady of the Ye Family and who is the heir of the Ye Family. I'm afraid that in the Great Elder's heart, my Ye Family bloodline is not as precious as Ye Xun, an orphan, right?" Ye Qingtang looked at the Great Elder with a smile. Although she said it in a joking manner, every word struck the Great Elder's heart.
The veins on the Great Elder's forehead bulged slightly. If he forcefully protected Ye Xun after what Ye Qingtang said, he was afraid that … he would really be accused of playing favoritism and condoning his subordinates to offend his superiors!
The surrounding guests could not help but gather together and whisper when they saw that.
Such a matter was considered a huge scandal no matter which family clan it was!
However, everyone was also clear that although Ye Qingtang's status was high, the current Ye Family was no longer the Ye Family of the past. The Great Elder had been in power for a long time, and Ye Qingtang, as the Eldest Young Lady, probably did not have much status anymore. Moreover, the Great Elder had Ye You's support, and thus no one dared to say anything.
The Great Elder had obviously thought of this as well. He sneered in his heart when he saw everyone's ambiguous attitude.
Ye Qingtang, even if you found such a chance to counterattack, you ultimately cannot change anything!
Immediately, the Great Elder revealed a hint of toughness. He looked around and said, "Qingtang's words are too harsh. It's just a misunderstanding between children. I believe that no one would care about such a small conflict between the many families."
As soon as the Great Elder spoke, some people who wanted to curry favor with him immediately chimed in.
"Great Elder's words are not false. It was just an accident."
"Young Lady Ye, you should also calm down. Miss Ye Xun has worked hard too. It was just a slip of the tongue."
Everyone was on the Great Elder's side, and Ye Qingtang was isolated.
Third Elder was secretly alarmed. He thought that Ye Qingtang only wanted to use the opportunity to reprimand Ye Xun, but he did not expect that Ye Qingtang really wanted to chase Ye Xun out of the Ye Family. Now that the Great Elder had expressed his stance, it would be difficult for Ye Qingtang to fulfill her wish.
The Third Elder, who was worried, couldn't help but give Ye Qingtang a look, telling her to stop while she was ahead.
However …
However, Ye Qingtang did not waver at all. She only looked coldly at the ugly faces of everyone.
Just as both parties were in a deadlock, a servant hurriedly came to report.
"Reporting to the Great Elder, the City Lord of Fallen Stars City, Lord Mu Su, is already outside the door."
In an instant, the Ye Family, which was originally in a heated discussion, suddenly gasped.
The City Lord of Fallen Stars City, Mu Su!!
Everyone was so shocked that they forgot everything. All of them widened their eyes in disbelief.
