The Rebirth Of The Strongest Empress

Chapter 63: Tranquility Before the Storm (3)

Ye Qingtang nodded.

Master Si frowned, clearly showing a hint of disapproval towards Ye Qingtang's arrangements.

“In two more days, it will be the celebration of Great Elder Ye's birthday. If you meet Master Mu Su, others will think that Great Elder Ye has a high status.” Even though Master Si liked Ye Qingtang, he still hated Supreme Elder Ye as much as before.

Ye had a high reputation in Lin City and was one of the three largest family clans. Because of this, Great Elder Ye's birthday celebration was widely discussed. Although there were still a few more days, each family clan had received an invitation long ago.

Mu Su was going to meet Ye Qingtang because of the Si family. With his prestigious identity, if not for the Si family's ties to him, who else in this small Lin City could invite Mu Su to meet them?

Imagining Mu Su appearing at the Ye residence on the Great Elders birthday made Master Si instantly unhappy.

Ye Qingtang laughed. “Kakek Si, just help me convey my words. I am not afraid of the Supreme Elder benefiting from this meeting.”

Benefit or disaster, it did not depend on the Great Elder.

“This girl ... do you have a scheme up your sleeve?” Master Si narrowed his eyes towards Ye Qingtang as he looked for answers.

However, Ye Qingtang smiled at him without saying anything.

Old and young stared at each other like that for a long time, and Mr. Si finally admitted defeat.

“So, I will convey your words,” grumbled Mr. Si.

“Thank you, grandpa Si.”

“Huh,” Mr. Si snorted as he stood up and headed for the inner courtyard slowly. “Girl, you have too many evil ideas. I'm old and don't want to mess with you, don't let me get angry.”

When dusk arrived, Ye Qingtang finally left the Si residence. However, he did not directly return to Ye's residence but headed towards Qin Luo Pavilion in the east of the city.

…

Two days later on the eve of the Great Elder's birthday celebration, Ye's entire residence was beautifully decorated, and an endless stream of people came to congratulate the Great Elder.

“The Great Elder's birthday celebration this year is more festive than previous years,” said the Second Elder emotionlessly as he looked at the bustling atmosphere.

From the side, Ye Ling said with a faint smile, “Now that Ye You have entered the Yunxiao Sect, the position of the Great Elder in everyone's heart will naturally be very high. This year is different from previous years, and they definitely want to come and congratulate him.”

The Second Elder furrowed his brows and his expression turned strange as he looked at the Great Elder, who was being congratulated by many.

“You told me that Ye You was chosen by the Yunxiao Sect because of her green spirit root at another time?”

“Ya,” Ye Ling nodded.

The Second Elder's frown deepened. “The Great Elder has always hidden Ye You carefully and has never revealed the spirit root of Ye You in these past ten years. However ... when Tang Tang's spirit root broke apart, his grandson immediately revealed that Ye You had green spirit root afterward and that he was even chosen by Sect Master Yunxiao. Don't you think..there's something strange about this?”

The Second Elder and the Great Elder had long been out of touch. Since Ye You was the granddaughter of the Great Elder, the Second Elder naturally did not ask much about him.

The only thing he knew was that the Great Elder always kept his mouth shut tightly over the quality of Ye You's spirit root. While the Second Elder hadn't thought much of it at first, he now realized that things might have been too coincidental.

Ye Qingtang's spirit root broke apart, and Ye You's spirit root was revealed soon after. Moreover, it was also a green spirit root.

The Second Elder's words made Ye Ling frown as if she had thought of something. However, feeling that something was wrong, Ye Ling replied, “I know what you are thinking. The fact that the Ye family produced two green spirit roots at the same time was indeed extremely rare, and the revelation of Ye You spirit root did occur at a strange time, but… I have never heard of a way to steal someone's spirit root.for their own use...In addition, Tang Tang never said anything about this.
