The Rebirth of the Strongest Female Emperor

Chapter 46: The Great Elder (2)

“I am quite tired today and will be back to rest first,” said the Great Elder coldly as he left alone without waiting for Ye Ling to respond.

After the Great Elder left, Ye Ling finally relaxed.

“Tang Tang, leave home less in these few days when the Great Elder returns. When your second uncle ended his exile a few days later, we would pick him up together. ” Ye Ling was filled with worries. His deteriorating health coupled with the Second Elder's seclusion had allowed the Great Elder to act with increased arrogance within the Ye family.

Ye Ling was not stupid; she vaguely sensed the ambition of the Great Elder.

However, he could not fight with the Great Elder now. The only way to deal with the Great Elder was to submit temporarily and wait until the Second Elder ended his seclusion.

Now, Ye Ling was most worried about Ye Qingtang. He was extremely afraid that the Great Elder would secretly take the life of Ye Qingtang because he was the successor to the position of the family master, and, thus, he specifically warned him.

Looking at his extremely worried father, Ye Qingtang naturally sighed in his heart.

He knew that Ye Ling's compromise was for the sake of ensuring his safety. Even when the Great Elder had seized the power of Ye Ling as the head of the family in Ye Qintang's past life, Ye Ling did not fight much, and all this was for his safety.

Yet…

How did his father know that he had been secretly the victim of a Great Elder?

In his previous life, Ye Qingtang did not dare to tell Ye Ling about the truth behind his spirit root that was stolen due to the Great Elder's warning; in this life, it was not, he was unwilling to let his father have any more worries.

“I understand.” Ye Qingtang nodded obediently.

Only then did Ye Ling get a little relieved.

“You performed very well at the Worship Ceremony today. Even I didn't expect that you would become this strong. You must be tired, come back early and rest. Stay home and prepare for these few days.everything will be fine after your second uncle ends his seclusion.”

“Good.”

Ye Qingtang nodded obediently, but deep down, he was not as relaxed as Ye Ling.

In his previous life, the Great Elder secretly sent people to kill Ye Ling one day before the Second Elder ended his seclusion and made the Second Elder shoulder the blame for Ye Ling's death. This allowed the Great Elder to get rid of two people at once, hitting two birds with one stone.

This time, Ye Qingtang would definitely not let the grand elder's scheme succeed.

At that thought, Ye Qingtang could not help but narrow his eyes as he quickly walked back to his room.

The medicine he prepared for Ye Ling was mixed in his tea on an ordinary day. Those medicines could slowly eliminate the remaining poison in his body. Perhaps Ye Ling herself did not realize that her complexion these past few days was much better than before.

Yet…

It's far from enough. In order to deal with the Great Elder, Ye Qingtang must have more preparation!

…

Ye Xun came back from the Duan family and there was not the slightest hint of a smile visible on his face.

Previously, it was he who had secretly told Duan Tianrao about Ye Qingtang's broken spirit root, and he was also the one who gestured to Duan Tianrao that Ye Qingtang was ugly.

Yet today, Ye Qingtang had humiliated him in public. While Duan Tianrao did not say it, Ye Xun already felt Duan Tianrao's attitude change towards him.

“Ye Qingtang, why do you always have to ruin my plans.” Ye Xun took a deep breath calmly, tried to sort through his emotions, and then walked over to Ye's residence.

When he had just entered, he heard news of the return of the Great Elder, and his unhappiness disappeared instantly.

He had long sided with the Great Elder and was clearly aware of his ambition. Now that he had returned, neither Ye Ling nor Ye Qingtang would have any good days ahead.
