章節 132: 132: Silent Comfort

Zhang Yide nodded in understanding and refrained from discussing the matter further. Instead, he asked Ye Fei, "Master, what should be done about the old master’s funeral?"

Ye Fei thought for a moment, sighed, and replied, "I should wait for my aunt to arrive and discuss it with her." Originally, he had considered hiding the truth from Xu Shuyun and Ye Jing for a while, but quickly dismissed the idea.

After all, secrets never remain hidden for long. Given the prominence of the Ye family, word of the former patriarch's death would inevitably spread. It might even be in the newspapers by tomorrow. Letting them find out through such means would only make things worse.

Zhang Yide sighed as well, adding, "I really don't know if they’ll be able to bear this blow. Master, you must comfort them well." In this moment, Zhang Yide was not speaking as a senior member of Lingyun Society but as an elder concerned for Ye Fei's family.
