Chapter 45: The Great Elder (1)
The egg was small, and although it was stained with dirt and dust, one could still roughly see the blue and white cross lines on the eggshell.
Ye Qingtang's eyes sparkled as soon as he saw that.
"Finally!"
It was a fertilized egg, laid by a male duck!
Belonging to a species of lightning drake, somehow the egg had been buried deep within the mountains, but it was finally revealed after a landslide a few days ago. In the past, Ye Qingtang happened to be quite a coincidence, but ignored him due to his terrible predicament. By the time he returned to look for it, the egg had already died from being out in the open for too long.
Years passed since then, he saw a pet lightning drake on a certain occasion. His strength and glory were certainly a sight to behold even though his owner was nothing more than a stage two cultivator. But with his devastating and relentless drake power, he single-handedly broke through and destroyed the enemy force that besieged nearly ten thousand.
Ye Qingtang was very sorry back then, if he managed to save that egg during the initial meeting, Ye You and her accomplices would never be able to get him cornered.
This time, however, he would not allow those regrets to happen.
Ye Qingtang dug the eggs from the ground and debris and carried them carefully in his chest.
As long as he could hatch these eggs and raise his hatchlings successfully, he would obtain powerful weapons in his arsenal!
“Little boy, things must have changed for you and me this time. We will no longer lose the opportunity to live a new life.” A smile played on Ye Qingtang's lips as he stroked the egg.
There is still some time before the eggs can hatch. Guarding it at all times, with warmth from its body as its incubator, would be necessary to sustain life within it.
After obtaining the egg, Ye Qingtang immediately returned home, only to find a hunch atmosphere as soon as he stepped through the main gate.
A slight change occurred to his attitude as he approached the main hall.
Ye Ling sat in the host position in the main hall. Sitting next to him, was an old man with a cold and menacing face.
“Tang Tang, you're back in time. The Great Elder has just returned.” While Ye Ling turned her attention to him, a premonition of helplessness could be seen from her eyes even though she put up a face.
On the day when he was tricked by Ye Xun into leaving the residence, it was none other than him who caught him and let Ye You, his grandson, gouge out his spirit root.
The Great Elder could be considered the doer of all his past miseries. Meeting him in the flesh after such a long time, although Ye Qingtang was no longer as reckless as he used to be, he had to restrain himself discreetly, while addressing him nonchalantly:
"Ye Qingtang sends his greetings, Great Elder."
The Great Elder was over eighty years old. Even though all of his hair had turned white, he was still a loyal man who looked more like he was in his fifties. His sharp gaze explored Ye Qingtang for a moment. After finding the stain missing from his face, his eyes emitted a flash of confusion, but he remained undisturbed and only nodded his head slightly in return.
“Your journey, escorting Xiao-You1 all the way to Cloud-Breakers must be exhausting. Better break early.” Ye Ling suggested calmly, even though deep down, she was completely wary of the Great Elder.
The Great Elder had an expressionless face as he declared: “Thank you Sir, for your concern. Xiao-You getting help from the Cloud-Breaker lord was a great honor for the Ye household, so to me, it was worth all the trouble.
Ye Ling smiled when she heard that.
Translator's Note
Adding Xiao in front of someone's name is an informal way to greet a younger person who has an intimate relationship with the speaker. In that case, they were referring to Ye You.
