The Great Elder, who had just settled the carriage that sent Ye Xun to the Yunxiao Sect, also came over. When he just reached the backyard, he saw a group of guests clustering around. He frowned and went over.
“What happened?” the Great Elder asked unpleasantly.
Ye Qingtang saw the Great Elder walking over and smiled secretly. Before she could explain, Duan Tianrao, who was supported by a servant, spoke to the Great Elder first. “Great Elder, someone wanted to murder Tang Tang tonight.”
“What?” the Great Elder was stunned. There was someone else who wanted to kill Ye Qingtang?
The Great Elder smiled in his heart the next moment.
It seemed like Ye Qingtang was in trouble with someone else, and that was why someone sent assassins to kill her. Such a pity that they did not manage to kill her. If not, it would have` saved me a lot of trouble. The Great Elder thought.
However, the Great Elder’s face still appeared normal and said in a majestic manner, “How could such a thing happen? Have you caught the assassins?”
“The Second Elder have subdued them, and Uncle Ye is going to interrogate them soon.” Duan Tianrao said.
The Great Elder nodded and walked forward. He stared at the four men in black who were fighting with the Second Elder and the bodyguards.
“Are they the assassins?” the Great Elder asked.
“That’s right.” Duan Tianrao was eager to save his image in front of Ye Qingtang.
“I was with Tang Tang just now at the backyard to view the moon. The four men suddenly appeared and demanded to kill Tang Tang. If not because of me, I’m afraid that she might’ve been killed here today.”
Ye Qingtang stared at Duan Tianrao silently. Witnessing how he wanted to take the credit, Ye Qingtang just twitched her mouth and did not expose his lies. Instead, she appeared shocked and helped to explain, “Second Junior Master Duan is right. The four men were here for me. If Second Junior Master Duan didn’t save me, I don’t think I would still be alive now.”
The Great Elder frowned. He really wished that the four assassins had killed Ye Qingtang. However, as the Great Elder of the Ye family, he could only act fierce in front of all the guests and said, “I can’t believe there is such a person in Lin Town who dares to ignore the power of our Ye family.”
The Great Elder then stepped forward and decided to kill the four assassins with the Second Elder.
However…
The four men who were fighting with the Second Elder suddenly exchanged glances with each other after noticing the appearance of the Great Elder.
Before the Great Elder could attack them, the four men suddenly shouted, “Great Elder, what are you planning to do?”
The Great Elder had planned to take down the four assassins perfunctorily. However, he did not expect that the four men would call him. He was stunned for a moment.
“You want to kill us now to keep your secrets?” The leader of the men in black stared unpleasantly at the Great Elder.
Everyone in the surrounding all looked towards the Great Elder after the man finished his words.
What happened?
Kill them to keep the Great Elder’s secret?
The assassins that were here to kill Ye Qingtang knew the Great Elder?
The Great Elder could not figure out what was going on. After hearing what the men had said, he immediately rebuked, “What kind of nonsense are you talking about? I don’t know you at all. Don’t frame me for trying to kill you for my secret!”
The man sneered, “I didn’t expect that you are this kind of person, Great Elder. You paid us with commission first to assassinate Ye Qingtang. Now you want to help them to kill us? Just because we failed the mission, you want to kill us to hide your secret now?”
