Ye Qingtang nodded.
Master Si frowned, clearly showing a little disapproval towards Ye Qingtang’s arrangents.
“In two more days, it will be Great Elder Ye’s birthday celebration. If you et Lord Mu Su then, other people would think that Great Elder Ye has a high status.” Although Master Si liked Ye Qingtang, he was still very hateful of the Great Elder Ye as before.
The Ye had a high reputation in Lin Town and was one of the three greatest family clans. As such, Great Elder Ye’s birthday celebration was widely discussed. Although there were still a few days left, every family clan had received an invitation long ago.
Mu Su was going to et Ye Qingtang because of the Si family. With his prestigious identity, if not for Si family’s ties with him, who else in this tiny Lin Town would be able to invite Mu Su to et them?
The thought of Mu Su appearing at the Ye residence on the day of the Great Elder’s birthday made Master Si unhappy instantly.
Ye Qingtang laughed. “Grandfather Si, just help convey my words. I’m not afraid of the Great Elder benefitting from this etup.”
Benefit or disaster, it was not up to the Great Elder.
“This girl… do you have any sches up your sleeve?” Master Si narrowed his eyes at Ye Qingtang as he sought to fish out an answer.
However, Ye Qingtang smiled at him without saying anything.
The young and old stared at each other like that for a long while, and Master Si finally admitted defeat.
“Whatever, I will convey your words,” Master Si grunted.
“Thank you, grandfather Si.”
“Humph,” Master Si snorted as he stood up and headed towards the inner courtyard slowly. “Girl, you have too many wicked ideas. I’m old and unwilling to play mind gas with you, lest I get pissed.”
Looking at Master Si’s back view, Ye Qingtang did not know whether to cry or laugh. However, she did already have a plan in mind.
When dusk fell, Ye Qingtang finally left the Si residence. However, she did not go straight back to the Ye residence but headed for the Qin Luo Pavilion at the east of the town instead.
…
Two days later on the night of the Great Elder’s birthday celebration, the entire Ye residence was beautifully decorated, and an endless stream of people ca to congratulate the Great Elder.
“The Great Elder’s birthday celebration this year is livelier than previous years,” the Second Elder said without emotions as he looked at the bustling atmosphere.
From aside, Ye Ling said with a faint smile, “Now that Ye You has entered the Yunxiao Sect, the Great Elder’s position in everyone’s hearts will naturally be very high. This year is different from the previous years, and they will definitely want to co and congratulate him.”
The Second Elder furrowed his brows and his expression turned weird as he looked at the Great Elder, who was being congratulated by many.
“You told that Ye You got selected by Yunxiao Sect because of her green spirit root the other ti?”
“Yes,” Ye Ling nodded.
The Second Elder’s frown deepened. “The Great Elder has always hidden Ye You carefully and had never revealed Ye You’s spirit root in the past ten or so years. Yet… when Tang Tang’s spirit root broke, his granddaughter imdiately revealed that Ye You had a green spirit root afterward and that she was even selected by the Yunxiao Sect Sect Master. Don’t you think… there is sothing strange about this matter?”
The Second Elder and the Great Elder had not been on good terms for a long ti. Since Ye You was the Great Elder’s granddaughter, the Second Elder naturally did not ask much about her.
The only thing he knew was that the Great Elder had always kept his mouth tightly shut over the quality of Ye You’s spirit root. While the Second Elder did not think much of it at first, he now realized that things may have been too coincidental.
Ye Qingtang’s spirit root broke, 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 though he had thought sothing. However, feeling that there was sothing off, Ye Ling replied, “I know what you’re thinking. The fact that the Ye family produced two green spirit roots at the sa ti is indeed very rare, and the revelation of Ye You’s spirit root did happen at a strange ti, but… I’ve never heard of any way to steal one’s spirit root for their own use… Furthermore, Tang Tang had never said anything about this.”
