Ye Ling also had his suspicions initially. However, when Ye Qingtang said that her spirit root broke mysteriously, he did not think otherwise anymore.

“Perhaps, I’m thinking too much,” the Second Elder said as he could not help but feel that it was a pity for Ye Qingtang.

Not only was Ye Qingtang’s spirit root of supreme quality, but she also had a talent in martial arts. If her spirit root were not broken, her accomplishments in the future would be unmeasurable.

Just as the two were conversing, Ye Qingtang had already slowly walked towards them. Although today was a joyous occasion for Great Elder Ye, no one else in the Ye family other than the Great Elder’s henchmen was happy.

Anyway, the public attention was on the Great Elder today, so the three of them would be rather free to act without attracting much attention.

“Father, Second Uncle, I found some snacks from the kitchen. How about we taste it together?” Ye Qingtang smiled at the Second Elder and Ye Ling.

She had heard the conversation between Ye Ling and the Second Elder a while ago and could not help but feel a sense of warmth.

Up until that day, she had not told them that her spirit root was stolen, as she was afraid that they would be furious after knowing and would directly attack the Great Elder. Moreover, she already had a plan in mind. Regarding certain matters, she was more willing to settle them herself.

“Alright.” Ye Ling nodded with a smile, and the Second Elder smiled as well.

Ye Qingtang took some snacks as well as she looked at the Great Elder, who was being congratulated by many in the hall.

Today, the Great Elder had a ruddy complexion, and his commanding expression softened as he looked at the people who came to congratulate him.

“Great Elder, you’re really blessed to have such an outstanding granddaughter like Ye You. This is a blessing that others will not be able to reap even in a few lifetimes. You don’t know how many people are envious over Ye You’s entry into the Yunxiao Sect,” the people praised.

While the Great Elder maintained a calm expression, he was satisfied deep down.

“It’s nothing. Little You is still young and will still need to train hard in Yunxiao Sect. It is fortunate that the Yunxiao Sect Sect Master favor her. I can only wish her success.”

“Great Elder, you’re too humble. With Yunxiao Sect’s prestigious status, Ye You is definitely no longer the same as us commoners now that she has entered the sect.”

“That’s right. Being a direct disciple of a sect master is an extremely rare opportunity!” Another person chimed in.

The news of Ye You being selected to enter Yunxiao Sect had spread throughout Lin Town. Everyone knew of the power of Yunxiao Sect and were jealous and envious of Ye You’s opportunity. It was a pity that they could not make their own descendants have spirit roots as powerful as Ye You’s no matter how they tried.

The Great Elder was very pleased to hear the compliments and broke into a rare smile.

“Grandfather, darling Duan has arrived on behalf of the Duan family to congratulate you.” Ye Xun, who had managed the entire celebration, walked into the hall leisurely with a finely-dressed Duan Tianrao beside her.

“Great Elder, I wish you a long life. This is the present my father prepared for you,” Duan Tianrao said with a smile. After he spoke, the servants who followed him immediately placed the generous presents on the table beside the Great Elder.

“It was thoughtful of Master Duan. Do convey my thanks.” the Great Elder nodded as his gaze landed on Ye Xun.

“Xun, I heard that you’re about to breakthrough to Connate Level Six a few days ago. Is this true?”

Ye Xun smiled and replied, “Yes, grandfather. I should be able to break through to Connate Level Six in at most a month.”

“Not bad,” the Great Elder replied with a nod.

“Xun isn’t capable and is far less gifted than sister You, but I know to make up for my lack of natural talent with hard work. I can only hope to cultivate more diligently in the future to not let your previous teachings go to waste.” Ye Xun was very clear that her spirit root could not be compared to Ye Qingtang’s prior and Ye You’s current spirit root, but she had her own method.
