Chapter 62: Silence Before a Storm (2)

The Great Elder nodded slightly, but his face remained expressionless.

Ye Xun observed her reaction before she decided to test the water, "Grandfather, will Big Brother come in time for your birthday celebration?"

Ever since Ye You had been a disciple of the Cloud-Breaker ruler, he was now considered an exalted figure who earned the respect of all commoners and even nobles; including the head of the noble house.

The Great Elder rejected Ye Xun's assumption, saying, "He just joined the Cloud Breaker and should emphasize on developing his martial prowess." The Great Elder had always regarded Ye Ling and his family as subordinates. All his machinations came with the safe and regardless of them capturing his intentions, they had no way of charging him without proof.

Even after he tried to kill Ye Ling and trap the Second Elder, they could do nothing against him.

Even now, he remained in power as the great Elder of the Ye family, with no one challenging his position.

"Need to be noted." Ye Xun nodded in disappointment.

The Second Elder's injury was uncritical and was on a path of recovery after recuperating for several days. Could it be his presence that contributed to Ye Ling's increase in strength as well?

As usual, Ye Qingtang would visit the Si Household in the afternoon to provide treatment for Si Bai.

The Second Elder was confused as he and Ye Ling saw him leave at the gate.

“How can this girl get acquainted with the Si family? If you remember, the Si family is hostile to us. I remember hearing him and their youngest master was …. ” Second Elder threw a questioning glance at Ye Ling. Although Si Bai was known to have a weak constitution, his achievements as a prodigy were far beyond Duan Tianrao's capabilities. If Ye Qingtang really was in a relationship with Si Bai, it would require celebration.

Ye Ling shook her head while chuckling and replied, “I myself am not so sure. That's mygirl. He was like a completely different person ever since he lost his spirit root. In a good way though; she seemed more confident and independent. I suspected they were also in a relationship before, but she immediately denied it and I couldn't ask her more.”

Ye Qingtang arrived at the Si Household in a moment.

Old Master Si looked at him and asked, "I heard that your Great Elder has even tied the Elder of the Duan Household to welcome the return of your Second Elder?"

Ye Qingtang was a little interested in how Old Master Si knew of the incident, but since he never intended to cover up the matter, he nodded to affirm his conjecture.

Old Master Si sneered and said, “Although I don't know the details, I know from his actions that he's not good. Fortunately your Second Elder managed to return safely. He is your father's most loyal supporter and with him around, I'm sure your Great Elder will think twice before trying his antics again. ”

Ye Qingtang secretly felt amused by Old Master Si's nostalgic face, as he revealed his full disdain towards the Great Elder.

Old Master Si added, “By the way, Your Majesty, Mu Su, will arrive in a few days. Have you made arrangements for the meeting? ” Old Master Si went straight down to business after venting his frustrations.

Ye Qingtang was very surprised by his sudden announcement.

Some days?

Aren't they going to celebrate the Great Elder's birthday?

Ye Qingtang immediately replied, "Grandfather Si, may I ask for your help in conveying a message to His Majesty - a warm welcome will be ready for him upon arrival at Ye's residence."

"You want to meet him there?" Old Master Si was stunned after hearing the meeting place he liked.
