The Rebirth Of The Strongest Female Emperor
Second Elder (2)

Chapter 53: Second Elder (2)

Ye Ling got down from her carriage, and when she saw the Elders from the Duan family standing around, she slightly furrowed her brows.

Today marks the completion of their Second Elder's seclusion training, what are people from other households doing here?

“Great Elder, why are these Elders from the Duan family…. “Ye Ling furrowed her brows as she voiced her question.

The Great Elder responded indifferently: “Second Elder we want to achieve ascension and carry out this cultivation regime. Our friends here are all on par with his previous strength. Their goal here today is to witness his achievements and perhaps, learn a thing or two from him as well.”

“Sorry to interrupt.” The elders from the Duan household smiled as they exchanged formal greetings, despite their attitude of lacking respect for the head of the household.

They were well aware of the current power hierarchy in the Ye household. It was only a matter of time before Ye Ling relinquished her position as the head of the household.

So, instead of siding with Ye Ling, siding with the Great Elder would be a wiser choice.

More ….

The Great Elder even had the support of Ye You, a member of Cloud-breaker!

Ye Ling felt that something was amiss, but after an irregular conversation with the Elders, those who were indifferent to him were quite clear and making them honest with him was impossible.

Particularly…

After Duan Tianrao cancelled the engagement, Ye Ling was still upset with the Duan household. And now, after he saw Ye Xun and Duan Tianrao standing blatantly as a couple, he was increasingly unwilling to say anything to them.

From this moment on, Ye Ling instead felt relieved, that Ye Qingtang did not exist because of having to endure this disaster.

When the door opened wide, a tall and burly figure appeared gradually from within. It was an older adult who seemed to be in his fifties, with a sturdy body that betrayed a man his age. If not for the visible wrinkles on his chiseled face, one could barely tell his true age.

The Second Elder paced gradually into the open, despite wearing drab clothes, he exuded an aura of confidence.

When he raised his eyes to his surroundings, he noticed that other than the people from his own household, the people from the Duan household were also present. His eyes emitted a flash of confusion, but he did not read too much into it.

Before he secluded himself for training, Ye Qingtang and Duan Tianrao were already engaged. Therefore, even though he was confused, he did not care much about their presence.

Ye Ling had long awaited the return of the Second Elder. After seeing him make it back in one piece, he was finally able to calm his mind. When he was about to approach her to speak, a figure cut in front of her.

The Great Elder appeared in front of the Second Elder all of a sudden. At that moment, although he had an expressionless face, his gaze explored the Second Elder for a moment before he furrowed his brows and narrowed his eyes. Finally, with a sharp gaze, he confirmed: “Male! Catch her!”

When the words of the Great Elder were spoken, Ye Ling and the Second Elder were stunned.

While they were caught off guard, the accompanying bodyguard surrounded the Second Elder and gripped his arm.

"What does this mean ?!" The Second Elder immediately pouted, what happened was completely out of his reach.

"What do you think you're doing ?!" Ye Ling's face clouded as she turned to face the Great Elder.
