    Ye Qingtang looked at the Great Elder and sneered, “Great Elder, I am the sessor to the Ye family’s family master position. I don’t need you to teach me how to speak to others.”


    The Great Elder’s face sunk instantly.


    “Tang Tang… don’t misunderstand. We merely had good intentions to help father to get rid of our Ye family’s traitor.” Ye Xun forced herself to speak and put on a kind act.


    Ye Qingtang looked at Ye Xun’s loathsome face and said, “Father? Ye Xun, are you still unclear of your identity? Who do you think you are? How dare you address my father as ‘father’? Our Ye family? What rtion does the Ye family have with you?”


    “…” Ye Qingtang’s words were like sharp des which shaved away all of Ye Xun’s pretense and dignitypletely. Even for a scheming person like Ye Xun, her face went pale uncontrobly, and she could not maintain the smile on her face.


    “Qingtang, you are being too harsh. Xun grew up in the Ye family from young and would naturally want the best for the Ye family. Don’t be ignorant of her good intentions,” Duan Tianrao returned to his senses and could not help but defend Ye Xun.


    “It is not that she grew up in the Ye family. The Ye family only adopted her because we took pity on her for not having any parents. If Second Young Master Duan feels that the Ye family is not treating her right, you can bring her back to your Duan family. Our Ye family does not need any of her good intentions.” Ye Qingtang said without giving Duan Tianrao any face at all.


    Deep down, she was already extremely disgusted with Duan Tianrao. But even if she weren’t, Ye Qingtang already had the urge to destroy his bones into ashes solely based on the fact that he had attacked Ye Ling just now.


    In this quick exchange of words, Ye Qingtang made both Duan Tianrao and Ye Xun lose all their face while the Elders from the Duan family turned pale.


    “Today’s incident is my Ye family’s matter. If there is nothing else, I will not escort you, the Duan’s, any further.” Ye Qingtang bluntly demanded them to leave.


    The people from the Duan family werepletely defeated by Ye Qingtang’s words and did not intend to stay on any longer. Furthermore, the Second Elder had already sustained serious injuries, and it would be easy if the Great Elder really wanted to kill him. There was no need for them to continue staying there and allow others to have a handle against them.


    “Great Elder, we will return first,” a Duan Elder said.


    The Great Elder’s head dropped a little, but he still nodded. With the injuries that the Second Elder suffered, he was not his opponent.


    The people from the Duan family left instantly. However, before they left, Duan Tianrao turned around to look at Ye Qingtang’s beautiful face one more time and tried his best to convince her. “Qingtang, whatever the Duan family did today was all for the good of the Ye family. The Second Elder has evil intentions. If he is left alone, it would only harm the Ye family.”


    Nheless, Ye Qingtang did not even bother to look at Duan Tianrao, and he could only turn back and leave.


    After the Duan’s hadpletely left, Ye Qingtang then turned around and walked to the Second Elder’s side. Her expression softened as she smiled. “Second Uncle.”


    Looking at thepletely different Ye Qingtang before him, the Second Elder was filled with gratification.


    However, the Great Elder’s face sunk as he said, “The Second Elder schemed to kill the Family Master and me. This matter should not be over just like that and must be dealt with ording to the family rules.”


    Ye Qingtang turned to look at the sullen-looking Great Elder and replied, “You said Second Uncle is the mastermind behind the scenes. What evidence do you have?”


    “Evidence?” The Great Elder scoffed. “Getting rid of me and the Family Master would benefit the Second Elder the most. Who else could it be other than him?”


    Looking at the Great Elder’s strong appearance, she could not help but let out augh. “Great Elder’s words are merely a guess and are not based on any concrete evidence. When the assassins came yesterday, I happened to be in my father’s courtyard and exchanged a few blows with them. Although I could not win them, I found the word ‘Qin’ stitched inside the end of their sleeves. If I remember correctly, isn’t the most famous assassin organization in Lin Town the Qin Luo Pavilion? Didn’t everyone in the Qin Luo Pavilion all have such a ‘Qin’ stitched on the cuff of their sleeves?”
