The Rebirth of the Strongest Female Emperor

Chapter 52: Second Elder (1)

After receiving the news, Ye Qingtang was stunned. Without wasting any time, he instantly picked up the horse and rode swiftly to where the Second Elder was in seclusion.

In his previous life, Ye Ling lost her life the night before the Second Elder ended his seclusion. When Ye Qingtang was still grieving over his father's death, the Great Elder forcefully brought him over to pick up the Second Elder. Then, Ye Qingtang was still thinking of finding out his father's killer with the help of his loving second uncle once he ended his exile. Yet…

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

Helpless…

Ye Qingtang in his previous life did not know anything and had absolutely no idea what was happening. Moreover, he had little ability and was unable to react due to the shock from Great Elder's actions. Even if he wanted to save the Second Elder, the Great Elder did not heed his words, ordered people to guard him from the side, and killed the Second Elder in front of him.

To this day, Ye Qingtang still vividly remembered the picture of the dying Second Elder before his eyes.

Ye Qingtang took a deep breath and cleared his mind as he continued to increase the speed of his horse.

He had not expected the Great Elder to go there before.

If he remembered correctly, the Great Elder had not only personally invited the people there to welcome the end of Second Elder's seclusion, but he had even made Ye Xun invite some Elders from the Duan family. It was clear that he had decided to kill the Second Elder the moment he ended his seclusion!

Ye Qingtang accelerated and drove at full speed.

In the Ye family's seclusion area outside Lin City, there were many people gathered.

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

The Great Elder nodded slightly as his gaze swept over Ye Xun and landed on Duan Tianrao, who was standing beside him. Today, Ye Xun, as Duan Tianrao's fiancee, had invited some Elders from the Duan family on the basis of the Great Elder's punishment of the traitor of the Ye family.

The ability of the Second Elder was good, and the Great Elder was not entirely sure that he could defeat the Second Elder. Therefore, he invited the Elders from the Duan family not only to scare the Second Elder but also to bear witness after the Second Elder's execution for his crimes.

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

Now that Ye You was a direct disciple of Sect Master Yunxiao, it was only natural that the Duan family looked at the Great Elder with greater importance. Furthermore, Ye Xun was close to the Great Elder. Therefore, the Duan family was willing to give face to the Great Elder.

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

An Elder from the Duan family replied, “Don't worry. The Duan and Ye families were both part of the three largest family clans in Lin City and had friendly relations. Now that such an incident had occurred in the Ye family, the Duan family was happy to help. We can also use this incident as a precautionary warning for those harboring malicious intent.”

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

“Why do you say that, Great Elder? You've done very well. Even though you are an Elder, it is impossible for you to take care of everything perfectly. Besides, you almost lost your life because of this. How can you be blamed for this? Looking at your skin pretty good today, I guess the injuries you suffered were not so serious?” ask the Duan family elder.

“I'm still fine, just a few abrasions,” said the Great Elder slowly as he looked to the Ye family carriage at the side. Upon seeing Ye Ling get off the carriage, the Great Elder did not say much as he stared at the tightly shut stone door.
