The Rebirth Of The Strongest Female Emperor
Second Elder (1)
Chapter 52: Second Elder (1)
Ye Qingtang was confused for a moment when he learned of the news. Despite this, he rushed to the stables at the next moment and galloped towards the training ground on horseback.
In his past life, Ye Ling lost his life the night before the return of the Second Elder and while Ye Qingtang was still grieving over the death of his father, the Great Elder took him to the training ground beyond his will. Although he still hoped back then, that the kind-hearted Second Elder would help him track down his father's killer….
As soon as the Second Elder set foot outside his training room, the Great Elder had him arrested and executed for the murder of the head of the household.
Why would….
Ye Qingtang's past was still wet behind the ears and completely unaware of the situation. In his weakness, the Supreme Elder's firm decision left him dumbfounded. Even if he intended to speak on behalf of the Second Elder, the Great Elder would turn a blind eye. In the end, while being held on one side, the Second Elder was executed before his eyes….
To this day, Ye Qingtang could still vividly remember the moment the Second Elder was killed.
After taking a deep breath, Ye Qingtang threw away this memory, while he spurred his horse at full speed.
He did not expect the Great Elder to advance his plan.
If remembered, the Great Elder had not only offered to receive the Second Elder personally, Ye Xun had even invited some elders from the Duan family at his command. All that fanfare was for the purpose of annihilating the Second Elder!
Ye Qingtang remained steadfast as he dashed away like the wind.
Quite a number of people had gathered at the Ye household training ground, which was located outside of Lin City.
"Great Elder, Second Elder will be out soon." Ye Xun, who was standing beside him, smiled as he spoke.
With a slight nod, the Great Elder turned his gaze towards Duan Tianrao, standing beside Ye Xun. As his fiancee, he and several other Elders from the Duan household were invited to the court where he would impeach the Second Elder for treason against the Ye household.
The Second Elder was so formidable that even the Great Elder did not have the confidence to endure it himself. The presence of the other Elders of the Duan household served as a deterrent to rule him and also, as an official jury to witness the charges and subsequent executions, to appear correct in the public eye.
However, the truth behind the crime was completely unimportant to the Duan household.
Ye You, after becoming the disciple of the cloud-breaking ruler, raised the status of the Great Elder among the nobles and befriended Ye Xun, their future First Lady, they were all willing to help him.
"I'm sorry for having to impose on you all and thank you again for accepting my invitation." The Great Elder thanked the Elders of the Duan family.
The faces of the Elders were beaming happily and one of them replied: “Don't worry. We stand with the same honor as one of the noble families of Lin City. It is our pleasure and duty to lend a helping hand in times of need. Especially for things like this because it is for our own good as well. Hopefully, our actions today can help prevent betrayal among our family.”
The Great Elder smiled as he lamented: “Thinking such a thing could happen in our home. I guess this is the price I have to pay for being complacent in my duties as a Great Elder.”
“I'm sorry, but I think you're too hard on yourself. Even as a Great Elder, there are limits to the things you can control. You are one of the victims who almost lost their lives, so obviously you are not wrong. Although you are not in a rough condition, but the injury is quite obvious. I hope this isn't too serious?” One of the Elders asked out of worry.
"Don't worry, it's just a scratch." The Great Elder replied nonchalantly as he glanced at the carriage parked by the side. When he saw Ye Ling get off the carriage, he directed his gaze to the stone door again without a word.
Seriate...
