Kapitel 53: The Second Elder (2)
Redakteur: Atlas Studios
After alighting from the carriage, Ye Ling frowned as he saw the few Elders of the Duan family beside the Great Elder.
Today was the day when the Second Elder of the Ye family would end his seclusion, what were the Duan family's Elders doing here?
"Great Elder, these Elders from the Duan family…" Ye Ling said with a frown.
The Great Elder responded coolly, "Previously, the Second Elder went into seclusion in order to make a breakthrough. Our friends from the Duan family have about the same level of strength as the Second Elder. They are here today to find out whether the Second Elder has indeed succeeded in making a breakthrough and perhaps even learn from the Second Elder's experience."
"Thank you for your hospitality," the Duan family's Elders smiled as they made courteous exchanges although their tone was rather lacking in respect for a family master, making it seem perfunctory.
The Duan family was clearly aware of the situation in the Ye family. Although Ye Ling was still the family master of the Ye family, the changing of the person in position was merely a matter of time.
They would rather be on friendly terms with the Great Elder than with Ye Ling.
After all…
Backing the Great Elder was Ye You who entered the Yunxiao Sect!
Ye Ling sensed that something was off, but the few Elders from the Duan family and the Great Elder had no intention of speaking further. Moreover, Ye Ling saw Duan family Elders' superficial attitude towards him, and he knew that he would not get any answers even if he asked.
Furthermore…
Ye Ling was annoyed with the Duan family over Duan Tianrao's initiation to break the engagement. Now that he saw Ye Xun and Duan Tianrao publicly appearing together, he was even more unwilling to say anything further.
At that instant, Ye Ling felt that it was a good thing for Ye Qingtang to not come today lest she gets upset when she sees Ye Xun and Duan Tianrao together.
In the state of silence, the tightly-shut stone door slowly opened, and a gust of cold air escaped from the opening gap.
When the stone door was completely opened, a tall figure slowly walked out from the stone door. It was an elderly man over fifty years of age, but his tall and straight posture did not make him look old at all. His firm and good-looking features emitted a healthy glow. If one were to ignore the faint wrinkles on his face, it would be hard to guess the real age of this person before them.
The Second Elder of the Ye family stepped out steadily. Although he was only wearing a simple top, his disposition was unable to be covered.
The moment the Second Elder looked up, surprise filled his eyes briefly as he saw that apart from the Ye family, people from the Duan family were there as well. However, he was not too concerned.
Before he went into seclusion, Ye Qingtang and Duan Tianrao were engaged. Thus, although he was surprised by the Duan family's visit, he did not think much about it.
When Ye Ling saw the Second Elder walking out of the stone door, his heart that had been suspended in midair for a long time finally settled down gradually. He immediately went forward to speak to the Second Elder, but a figure beat him to it.
The Great Elder suddenly stood in front of the Second Elder. At that instant, there was not a hint of emotion on the Great Elder's face. With a slight frown, his eyes sharpened as he looked at the Second Elder, and he ordered coldly, "Take the Second Elder down!"
Ye Ling and the Second Elder were both stunned by the Great Elder's words.
Just when Ye Ling and the Second Elder were still in a shock, a group of guards that came with the Great Elder went forward and locked the Second Elder's arms.
"Great Elder, what is the meaning of this!" The Second Elder frowned in confusion.
"Great Elder, what are you doing?" Ye Ling's face sunk as he looked at the Great Elder.
