Ye Qingtang watched the daydreaming Duan Tianrao with cold eyes, and the corner of her lips curled up to form a sneer.

　　“Second Young Master Duan, our fate has ended. Let’s not meet again in the future.” With that, Ye Qingtang ordered someone to help Duan Tianrao out without giving him any chance to redeem himself.

　　Astonishment was written all over Duan Tianrao’s face as he looked at the merciless Ye Qingtang. He simply could not believe what he heard. However, he did not have any more chances and was sent out of the Ye residence.

　　In the backyard of the Ye residence, there was only Ye Qingtang, the little dragon man, Ye Ling, the Second Elder, the four assassins, and the Great Elder, who was being carried by the Second Elder.

　　“All of them have left. Can we also leave now then?” the leader of the men in black asked.

　　Ye Ling frowned lightly.

　　However, Ye Qingtang chuckled, “Thank you for your help today. I’ll definitely send the follow-up payment to the Qin Luo Pavilion tomorrow. Do return.”

　　The four assassins immediately replied in smiles, “Don’t mention it Lady Ye. If you have any requests in the future, the Qin Luo Pavilion will definitely be willing to serve you. We’ll take our leave now.”

　　Then, the four assassins leaped over the walls and left.

　　The conversation between Ye Qingtang and the four assassins traveled into the ears of Ye Ling and the rest word for word.

　　“Ye Qingtang, it was indeed you. How dare you join forces with the Qin Luo Pavilion to frame me!” The Great Elder widened his eyes suddenly and shot a deadly glare at Ye Qingtang, who had plotted everything. The rage in his eyes made it seem as though he wanted to eat Ye Qingtang up alive.

　　Ye Ling and the Second Elder were similarly in shock. They really thought that those four assassins were sent over by the Great Elder, yet… it was all a show that Ye Qingtang directed.

　　Ye Qingtang looked at the Great Elder with a grin.

　　“Frame? Great Elder, you’re such a smooth talker. Didn’t you handwrite this letter and hand it to the Qin Luo Pavilion? I merely changed two words only.” Ye Qingtang waved that letter in front of the Great Elder.

　　“You!” The Great Elder glared at Ye Qingtang with gritted teeth.

　　Ye Qingtang sneered, “Great Elder, you committed all sorts of evil crimes. Yes, I did frame you, but so what? Now, the entire Lin Town will know that you, the Great Elder, plotted to kill me. Do you think you’ll still be the Great Elder of the Ye family?”

　　“Great Elder, you plotted to kill the successor of the family master and have committed a serious offense. According to the family rules, you should be executed immediately.” laughed Ye Qingtang.

　　The Great Elder glared at Ye Qingtang with hatred and scoffed, “Executed? Just by you all? My granddaughter is now the disciple of Yunxiao Sect Sect Master, which one of you dare to kill me!”

　　Ye Ling and the Second Elder’s hearts sank when they heard the Great Elder’s words.

　　Ye Qingtang’s scheme today did cause the Great Elder to violate the family rules in front of everyone, and he should be executed. But… behind the Great Elder, there was still Ye You.

　　If Ye You heard about this incident, she would not take things lying down.

　　Ye You was already a direct disciple of the Yunxiao Sect Sect Master. If he called her back…

　　However, Ye Qingtang was not at all affected by the Great Elder’s words and merely beamed at him, “Sorry but, after you die, I will tell everyone that although you committed a serious offense, the Ye family was benevolent to only take back your position as the Great Elder and lock you up temporarily on the account that you have served the Ye family for many years. No one will know that you’re already dead. Furthermore, your granddaughter, Ye You, is far away in Yunxiao Sect and will not return to Lin Town in the coming few years. How will she know whether you’re dead or alive?”
