The Rebirth of the Strongest Female Emperor

Chapter 62-65

Chapter 62: Tranquility Before the Storm (2)

The Great Elder nodded slightly, but there was no change in his expression.

Carefully observing the reaction of the Great Elder, Ye You asked carefully, “Grandfather's turn is the day after tomorrow. Will your sister be able to hurry back? ”

Ye You was already a disciple of Sect Master Yunxiao, and his identity was different from that of an ordinary person. If Ye You could return for the Great Elder's birthday celebration, all the family clan master families of the family in Lin Town would have to be very respectful towards Ye You, let alone the Second elder and Ye Ling.

The Great Elder waved his hand. "He had just entered the Yunxiao Sect, and cultivation would naturally be his top priority." He never paid attention to the people in the Ye family. Regardless of what he did, he was already fully prepared. Even if Ye Ling and the others knew everything, they had no evidence and reason to go against him.

He had indeed tried to send people to kill Ye Ling and blame the Second Elder, but then what?

Now, he was still the Great Elder of the Ye family, and since Ye Ling and the others had no proof, his position remained unshakable.

"Precise," Ye Xun said with a obedient nod.

…

The Second Elder's injury wasn't serious and it only took a few days to rest and recuperate. Perhaps due to the return of the Second Elder, Ye Ling's complexion got better.

Ye Qingtang went to the Si family in the afternoon to take care of Si Bai's body as usual.

As the Second Elder and Ye Ling watched Ye Qingtang leave the Ye residence, curiosity filled the Second Elder's heart.

“How did this girl get into a relationship with the Si family? I clearly remember that the Si family was quite prejudiced against us, the Ye family, before. When I returned to the residence, I thought I heard that this girl and Third Young Master Si ..." The Second Elder looked at Ye Ling strangely. Although Si Bai was weak, his natural talent was very high — was much higher than Duan Tianrao. If Ye Qingtang could find a good man to marry, it would make the Second Elder's heart calm.

Ye Ling chuckled. “I am also unclear. Tang Tang seemed to have become someone else after his spirit root was broken. He is now much more independent and confident. I suspected him and Third Young Master Si earlier as well, but he swore that nothing had happened, so I did not ask much. ”

The Second Elder was deep in thought.

A while later, Ye Qingtang reached the Si residence.

Master Si looked at Ye Qingtang and said,

“I heard that the Great Elder actually invited some Elder Duan on the day that Second Elder Ye ended his seclusion. Is this true?"

Ye Qingtang was a little surprised, as he never thought that Lord Si would find out of this incident. Without any intention to hide the truth, he nodded honestly.

Master Si sneered, “Although I don't know what really happened that day, but from the actions of Great Elder Ye, I can say that he is not a simple person. Luckily the Second Elder returned safely. He always respected your father. With him in the Ye family, the Great Elder shouldn't be able to try something funny.”

Disdain towards the Great Elder was written all over Teacher Si's face, and Ye Qingtang really wanted to laugh.

Looking at Ye Qingtang, Mr. Si got down to business and said, “Oh, Mr. Mu Su will arrive at Lin City two days later. Where do you want to meet? ”

Joy meets Ye Qingtang.

Two days later?

Isn't that the Great Elder's birthday?

Ye Qingtang immediately replied, "May I trouble grandfather Si to convey to Master Mu Su that I will wait for his arrival at Ye's residence two days later at night."

"You want to meet Mu Su at Ye's residence?" Mr. Si's face was full of shock upon hearing that.

.......

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 birthday celebration of Elder Ye. 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 little 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 any plans?" 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.

"Whatever, I'll say your words" muttered Mr. Si.

"Thank you, Grandpa Si."

"Huh," Master Si snorted as he stood up and headed towards 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.”

Looking at Master Si's back view, Ye Qingtang did not know whether to cry or laugh. However, he already had a plan in mind.

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 unrelenting 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?"

"Yes," Ye Ling nodded.

The frown on the Second Elder's forehead 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 did not think too much about it at first, he now realized that things might be 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've never heard of a way to steal someone's spirit root.for their own use.Furthermore, Tang Tang never said anything about this.”.

....

Ye Ling was also initially suspicious. However, when Ye Qingtang said that his spirit root had mysteriously broken apart, he did not think otherwise anymore.

"Perhaps, I think too much," said the Second Elder because he could not help feeling that it was a pity for Ye Qingtang.

Not only was Ye Qingtang's spirit root high quality, but he also had talent in martial arts. If his spirit root was not broken, his achievements in the future would be immeasurable.

As the two spoke, Ye Qingtang had already slowly walked towards them. Although today was a joyous occasion for Great Elder Ye, there was no one else in the Ye family other than the happy minions of Great Elder.

After all, public attention was on the Great Elder today, so the three of them would be more free to act without attracting much attention.

“Dad, Second Uncle, I found some snacks from the kitchen. How about we taste it together?” Ye Qingtang smiled at the Second Elder and Ye Ling.

He had overheard the conversation between Ye Ling and the Second Elder some time ago and inevitably felt warmth.

Until that day, he did not tell them that his spirit root had been stolen, as he was afraid that they would get angry after knowing and would directly attack the Great Elder. Besides, he already had a plan in mind. Regarding certain things, he was more willing to resolve them by himself.

"All right." Ye Ling nodded with a smile, and the Second Elder also smiled.

Ye Qingtang took some snacks and also he looked at the Great Elder, who was being congratulated by many people in the hall.

Today, the Great Elder had a reddish complexion, and his commanding expression softened as he looked at the people who had come to congratulate him.

“Great Elder, you are truly blessed to have such an amazing granddaughter like Ye You. It is a blessing that others will not be able to reap even in some lives. You have no idea how many people were envious of Ye You's entry into the Yunxiao Sect, ”praise the people.

While the Great Elder maintained a calm expression, deep down he was satisfied.

"It's okay. Little You was young and still needed to train hard in the Yunxiao Sect. Lucky Sect Master Yunxiao supported her. I can only pray for his success.”

“Great Elder, you are too humble. With the prestigious status of the Yunxiao Sect, Ye You is clearly no longer the same as us ordinary people now that she has entered the sect.”

"That's right. Being a direct disciple of a sect master was an extremely rare opportunity!” Others chimed in.

The news of Ye You being chosen to enter the Yunxiao Sect had spread throughout Lin City. Everyone knew the strength of the Yunxiao Sect and was jealous and envious of Ye You's opportunity. It was a pity that they were unable to make their own descendants have spirit roots as strong as Ye You no matter how they tried.

The Great Elder was overjoyed to hear the praise and smiled faintly.

"Grandfather, dear Duan has arrived on behalf of the Duan family to congratulate you." Ye Xun, who had arranged the entire celebration, walked into the hall casually with the neatly dressed Duan Tianrao beside him.

“Great Elder, may you live a long life. This is the gift my father prepared for you, ” Duan Tianrao said with a smile. After he spoke, the servants who followed him immediately placed a generous gift on the table beside the Great Elder.

“It was very wise for Mr. Duan. Say thank you.” the Great elder nodded as his gaze fell on Ye Xun.

“Xun, I heard you were about to breakthrough to Connate Level Six a few days ago. Is this true?"

Ye Xun smiled and replied, “Yes, grandfather. I should be able to break through Connate Level Six for the longest time in a month.”

"Not bad," replied the Great Elder with a nod.

“Xun is incapable and much more talented than sister You, but I know to cover my lack of natural talent with hard work. I can only hope to cultivate more diligently in the future to not let your previous teachings go to waste.” Ye Xun was very clear that his spirit root could not compare to the spirit root of Ye Qingtang before and Ye You at the moment, but he had his own methods.

.....

Chapter 65: Birthday Celebration (2)

Now that Ye You entered the Yunxiao Sect, Ye Xun definitely could not compare to him. But to Ye Qingtang, even if Ye Qingtang's abilities were higher than hers, her improvement in abilities was severely limited because she lost her spirit root. On the other hand, Ye Xun had perfect spirit roots, and there were endless possibilities for his growth in the future.

There is a long road ahead.

Ye Xun was also well aware that Duan Tianrao attached great importance to the perfect condition of his spirit root.

No matter how beautiful Ye Qingtang was, she was still half flawed.

The Duan Family would definitely not allow a girl without spirit roots to become the successor wife of the family master.

At that thought, Ye Xun's gaze landed on Duan Tianrao, whose eyes were full of praise and warmth as he returned his gaze.

“Xun, you've done very well. From now on, I will cultivate with you and hope that we will improve together. ” Duan Tianrao smiled.

Ye Xun nodded obediently.

As everyone was in the middle of the celebration, the guards guarding outside the door of the Ye residence entered hurriedly.

"Family Master and the two Elders, Falling Star City Lord, Master Mu Su, are at the door."

Suddenly, gasping breaths filled the originally crowded residence.

The City Lord of Falling Star City, Mu Su!

There was no one on earth who was unaware of Mu Su's status.

Although Fallen Stars City was also a city, it was extremely powerful. Even the emperor had to give up on Mu Su when he saw her. Mu Su's abilities were immeasurable, and he served the Ancient Shrine. There was hardly anyone in Lin City who was lucky enough to meet such a person of reputation and strength.

However, who would have thought that Mu Su, someone who was beyond one's reach, would actually appear in Lin City, and even in Ye's residence!

Everyone's eyes looked towards the Great Elder of the Ye family uniformly.

Today was the birthday of Great Elder Ye. With the appearance of Mu Su at that moment, could it be that he was here to congratulate the Great Elder?

It was known that no one in Lin City could make contact with a strong person like Mu Su, and even Ye You, who had just been accepted into the Yunxiao Sect, barely have any qualifications.

“Grandfather, Master Mu Su must have been specially invited by sister You to celebrate your birthday,” Ye Xun said with a smile looking at the sight.

The Great Elder was also surprised by the news. When he felt everyone's envious gaze, he suddenly returned to his senses and said, "I've never heard you mention this before."

“Sister, you definitely want to surprise you. In the entire Lin City, who else besides your sister would have such prestige to successfully invite Master Mu Su? ” Ye Xun laughs.

After thinking about it, the Great Elder agreed that only his grandson possessed such prestige, and his smile deepened.

Mu Su's arrival did indeed shock many people.

Even Ye Ling and the Second Elder who had been watching coldly were startled by the news.

"Why did Master Mu Su suddenly come to our Ye residence?" Ye Ling was quite surprised.

The Second Elder, however, frowned and said, “I want to know. Although our Ye family is considered a great family clan in Lin city, but when compared to Falling Star City, there is no competition at all. It was indeed strange for the City Lord of Falling Star City to visit so suddenly. ”

"Could it be that he was invited by Ye You to congratulate the Great Elder on his birthday?" Ye Ling's expression turned serious.

"There's only this possibility."

Ye Qingtang ate his cookies as he looked at the solemn expression on his father and the Second Elder, and could not help but laugh. "Father and Second Uncle, why should you two be so worried?"
