“That’s okay. Since lady Ye still has things to deal with, do settle them first,” said Mu Su, who then passed Ye Qingtang a note with the address of his lodging. “I’ll take my leave first.”
“Thank you, Lord Mu Su.”
With a slight nod, Mu Su left without staying any longer, as he prepared to notify his highness in advance that he had bluffed Ye Qingtang over.
Mu Su came suddenly and left hurriedly, but none of the guests dared to say anything. Even after Mu Su left, everyone was still in a trance.
Ye Ling finally regained his senses as he watched Mu Su leave. Along with the Second Elder, he immediately pulled Ye Qingtang to a side and said with a small frown, “Tang Tang, what is going on exactly?”
Looking at the shocked yet happy expression on her father’s and second uncle’s faces, Ye Qingtang chuckled, “Father, second uncle, as you have seen, my spirit root regrew. Although it is not comparable to my original one, there is still a chance. Isn’t it a good thing that Lord Mu Su is willing to recommend me to Xuanling Sect?”
Ye Ling and the Second Elder were made speechless by Ye Qingtang’s question. They were definitely happy that Ye Qingtang’s spirit root regrew, and it would be even better if she could enter a sect.
Although there were thousands of questions in their heads, both of them knew that tonight was not the time to talk much, and, thus, they did not ask any further.
On the other side, the Great Elder, who had witnessed the entire incident, no longer had any birthday excitement. His face darkened while his eyes sharpened as he looked at Ye Qingtang who was facing the other way.
“Grandfather…” Ye Xun quietly walked to the Great Elder’s side with a complicated expression in her eyes.
“Xun, come here with me for a while,” the Great Elder said solemnly when he saw Ye Xun. He turned on his heels and walked toward his study room without caring about the guests at the birthday celebration.
Looking at the Great Elder’s unhappy expression, they more or so understood the situation.
Previously, everyone thought that Mu Su came because of Ye You, but after such a huge blunder was created, the extent of hospitality that the Great Elder showed before was seen as a joke now.
Regardless of their position, no one was happy over this incident.
At that point, the Great Elder was in an extremely bad mood. He brought Ye Xun into the study room with a dark expression, and after shutting the door, he told Ye Xun straight, “Xun, make a trip to Yunxiao Sect immediately.”
Ye Xun was a little taken aback.
The Great Elder said, “I’m afraid it’s not possible to get rid of Ye Qingtang in Lin Town now that she established relations with Mu Su. However, if she really enters Xuanling Sect, it will be a big disaster to little You.”
Ye Xun nodded as she faintly guessed the Great Elder’s intention.
Ye Qingtang’s original spirit root was stolen by Ye You. If this incident spreads, it would only be a blotch in Ye You’s life.
“Grandfather wants me to tell sister You about this news?”
“That’s right,” The Great Elder said. “I’ll order people to hurry and send you to Yunxiao Sect. When you see little You, you must tell her everything about Ye Qingtang honestly. She has entered Yunxiao Sect already, and if we want to deal with the current Ye Qingtang, only she would be able to.”
“Yes, Xun will definitely remember grandfather’s orders,” Ye Xun replied obediently. However, she had her own plan in mind.
Duan Tianrao showed obvious dissatisfaction towards Ye Xun just now, and if Ye Qingtang entered a sect and obtained a breakthrough on her cultivation, Duan Tianrao would only hate Ye Xun even more, and it would be more difficult for her to marry into the Duan family.
If Ye Qingtang died in Xuanling Sect, Duan Tianrao would naturally not have any other thoughts.
After all, a dead person would not be valid.
