Ye Xun looked around at everyone and fixed her eyes on Ye Qingtang, who was gradually walking towards the worship stage. A hint of mockery flashed in her eyes, but she concealed it quickly before anyone could see it.
“Darling Duan, Tang Tang…” Ye Xun purposely looked at Duan Tianrao with an awkward expression.
Yet, Duan Tianrao shook his head and said, “That is the Ye family’s business and has nothing to do with you. I’ll marry you next year. Now, you’re no longer considered as a complete member of the Ye family. You don’t need to be worried about the Ye family’s business.”
Duan Tianrao looked satisfactorily at Ye Qingtang’s awareness of the situation to not blow matters up. However, it was only that much. He was not a tiny bit concerned about whether Ye Qingtang could spin the Heaven-Spinning Wheel and whether she would embarrass the Ye family.
As Ye Qingtang stood on the worship stage, Duan Tianrao held Ye Xun by her waist directly and went down the stage.
Only Ye Qingtang was left standing on the wide worship stage.
“Second brother, did the Ye family really send Ye Qingtang up the stage? Given her current condition, it would be weird if she could turn the Heaven-Spinning Wheel,” Duan Tianrui said without covering up his malice as he looked at Ye Qingtang on stage.
“Tianrui, just be quiet…” Ye Xun frowned slightly with a helpless expression.
Duan Tianrui replied, “Sister-in-law, your temper is too good. When you wanted me to search for the Flower Moon Stone the other day, it was arrogantly snatched away by Ye Qingtang. And now, you’re still worried for her because of that good temper of yours.”
Ye Xun bit her lips and lowered her eyes, intentionally hiding the pride in her eyes.
“Xun, Tianrui is right. Regardless of anything, sending Ye Qingtang to the worship stage was a choice made by the Ye family. This has nothing to do with you. There’s no need to blame yourself for it.” Duan Tianrui could not help but comfort her when he saw that the beauty was worried.
“That’s right. Just watch the show, sister-in-law. Why worry about her?” Duan Tianrui echoed.
Ye Xun finally nodded her head in silence. No one knew that deep down in her heart, she was all but worrying for Ye Qingtang. Raising her eyelids to look at Ye Qingtang on stage, a hint of mockery flashed in Ye Xun’s eyes.
Ye Qingtang stood on the worship stage alone and looked at the huge Heaven-Spinning Wheel before her with no change in expression.
Below the worship stage, citizens quietly shook their heads as they saw that Ye Qingtang had no intention of taking any action.
Given Ye Qingtang’s current condition, how could she even turn the Heaven-Spinning Wheel? However, it was a pity that no one else from the Ye family could go onto the stage. If Ye Xun were not engaged to Duan Tianrao, she could go up the stage as a member of the Ye family, and Ye Qingtang would not have to do something she could not do.
However…
Just as everyone thought that Ye Qingtang simply could not turn the Heaven-Spinning Wheel at all, the corner of Ye Qingtang’s lips hidden under the veil curled up into a smile. She suddenly raised her small pair of fair hands, held the sides of the Heaven-Spinning Wheel, and fiercely exerted her force with a cold light flashing across her eyes.
A loud dragon groan filled the air and instantly pierced everyone’s eardrums.
Ye Qingtang was actually able to turn the huge Heaven-Spinning Wheel in front of everyone.
Furthermore, the Heaven-Spinning Wheel spun at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, it spun two whole rounds, only slowing down at the third round.
Finally, on the completion of the fourth round, the large Heaven-Spinning Wheel stopped turning.
The dragon groan vanished as followed.
The public square fell into a dead silence instantly.
Everyone stared with their mouths agape and looked at Ye Qingtang, who was standing beside the Heaven-Spinning Wheel.
“How could this be?”
