The Rebirth of the Strongest Female Emperor

Chapter 60: Talking Back (3)

The moment Ye Qingtang's words came out, the Great Elder's face froze.

“If the Great Elder really wants to investigate, you can go to the Qin Luo Pavilion. Maybe you can find the real mastermind?” Ye Qingtang looked at the Great Elder with a smile.

At that moment, the face of the Great Elder became extremely dark.

Never in a million years did he expect that Ye Qingtang would actually notice the word on the tip of the assassin's arm. Even though those assassins had strangely betrayed the Great Elder, he could not simply take them and face them.

Anyways…

He was the one who first hired the people of the Qin Luo Pavilion to kill Ye Ling.

Although the murder was unsuccessful, if the news spread, he would…

The Great Elder's expression became increasingly ugly. He did not dare to suppress this matter after Ye Qingtang mentioned the Qin Luo Pavilion and could only forcefully suppress his emotions. Faking a calm front, he said, “Since you saw it for yourself, I will send people to check with the Qin Luo Pavilion later. If it really was them, I would definitely make them the real mastermind behind the scenes.”

The Great Elder took a deep breath and straightened his words.

He really could not let Ye Ling or those Second Elders go to the Qin Luo Pavilion to investigate. Otherwise, the consequences would be unbearable.

“Because so, the Second Elder was innocent before the truth was revealed,” Ye Qingtang said with a smile as he single-handedly ruined all the plans of the Great Elder.

At that moment, the expression of the Great Elder became ugly as if he had eaten dirt.

Failing to get rid of Ye Ling yesterday was a mistake, and Ye Qingtang's discovery of the identity of the four assassins today caused him to be unable to sue the Second Elder for the crime.

The Great Elder no longer wanted to say anything and only gave a faint nod of undetected.

The Great Elder scoffed and turned to board the carriage without saying anything.

Seeing the departure of the Great Elder, the Second Elder finally opened his mouth after remaining silent all this time.

“Tang Tang, it has been a long time since I last saw you, and I never expected that you would change so much. Now, I can finally calm my mind.” The Second Elder looked at Ye Qingtang kindly. Both he and Ye Ling were initially worried that Ye Qingtang's personality was too cowardly and he might not be able to manage if he inherited the position of family master.

But now, it seemed like the two of them were not worried.

“Second Uncle, father has ordered people to prepare good wine for you since a few days ago. This is not a good place for us to talk. How about we take the train and continue our conversation there?” Ye Qingtang looked at the Second Elder with sincere warmth.

In his previous life, no matter how cowardly and weak he was, the Second Elder had always protected him carefully. It could be said that the Second Elder was already his family. In this life, the regrets from his past life were slightly settled now that he stopped the Great Elder from killing the Second Elder.

“Sure! It's been a while since I drank so much. I must drink until full.” Second elder laughed.

Then, Ye Qingtang boarded the carriage together with Ye Ling and the Second Elder.

The train is moving. Although the Second Elder was injured, it was not serious. He took the wine and drank to his fullest while, in between, asking about the situation of Ye family when he was not around.

When he found out that Duan Tianrao had broken off his engagement to Ye Qingtang and had an affair with Ye Xun, his face instantly darkened.
