    The Great Elder looked at Ye Xun satisfactorily and said, “I’ll personally write a letter now, and you’ll bring it to little You.”


    Then, the Great Elder held a pen.


    In the hall of the Ye residence, Ye Qingtang saw both the Great Elder and Ye Xun leaving together, and a hint ofughter shed in her eyes.


    She secretly estimated the timing, and when she decided it was about time, she found an excuse and told both Ye Ling and the Second Elder that she wanted to be alone in the backyard. Then, she left the hall alone.


    However, just when Ye Qingtang stepped out of the hall, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.


    Ye Qingtang raised her brows as she looked at Duan Tianrao, who had been blocking her way for who knows how long, with a sneer.


    “Second Young Master Duan, what are you doing?” Ye Qingtang said.


    Duan Tianrao watched Ye Qingtang with aplex expression. As her exquisite face entered his sight, discontent arose once again.


    “Tang Tang, I wish to talk to you about something.”


    Ye Qingtang could not even be bothered with Duan Tianrao, but on second thought, she wore a smile on her face and said, “I was about to take a walk in the backyard. If Second Young Master Duan has anything to say, how abouting along with me?”


    Upon hearing that, Duan Tianrao was immediately ted. During the worship ceremony long ago when Ye Qingtang revealed her face, Duan Tianrao was already regretful. However, after considering the fact that Ye Qingtang did not have a spirit root and that it would be difficult for her to be the mistress of the Duan family, his regret was then slightly suppressed.


    However…


    When he saw for himself Ye Qingtang showing her spirit root and that Mu Su agreed to her request for a rmendation to Xuanling Sect, his regret crashed onto his chest like huge waves.


    He was originally worried that Ye Qingtang would bear a grudge towards him due to his cancetion of engagement previously, but he immediately rxed when he saw her smiling at him.


    Yes…


    Even though he backed out of the engagement with her previously, how would he not know of Ye Qingtang’s infatuation with him over all these years?


    It seemed that she still had feelings for him despite the fact that she was being angry.


    “Of course. It’s been long since I took a walk with you, Tang Tang,” Duan Tianrao said with no hint of objection as he shed her a smile.


    After she took a look at Duan Tianrao who was full of praises towards himself, a look of disdain appeared in Ye Qingtang’s eyes as she headed straight towards the backyard without saying much.


    Duan Tianrao followed her immediately.


    Compared to the boisterous front courtyard, the garden at the back of the Ye residence seemed much more silent.


    The faint moonlight cast on the flowers made it seem as though everything here was enveloped in ayer of pale light.


    Walking beside Ye Qingtang, Duan Tianrao looked at Ye Qingtang’s alluring face under the moonlight and could not help but feel a stir in his heart as infatuation filled his eyes.


    Although Ye Xun was pretty, there was no way her beauty could bepared to Ye Qingtang’s.


    “Tang Tang, I still remember that we used to y together when we were young. You were very timid and unwilling to leave the Ye residence then, so I frequently came to the Ye residence to apany you. You liked the foxtail lily from outside the city, so I personally picked them to gift you, and you liked it for a long time…” Duan Tianrao could not help but recount the times spent with Ye Qingtang previously.


    Now that Ye Qingtang’s spirit root was rebuilt and that she even obtained a chance to enter a sect, Ye Xun definitely could not bepared to her.


    Ye Qingtang nodded insincerely though she secretly swept a gaze across the surrounding walls of the courtyard.


    Duan Tianrao did not feel that Ye Qingtang was putting him off and continued rambling on alone, “We were so close then, and I thought, it would also be a blessing if I could coax you every day just like this. However…”
