Chapter 77
However…
The Great Elder was stunned from the glance. The content of the letter was written by himself. However, this letter was the one that he had sent to the Qin Luo Pavilion. The letter was meant to ask Qin Luo Pavilion to assassinate Ye Ling. Why… Why did the target now become Ye Qingtang?
The Great Elder was shocked and immediately looked at Ye Qingtang.
People from the Qin Luo Pavilion were requested to assassinate Ye Ling that day, but instead, they came to kill him halfway. The Great Elder had sensed that something was not right back then. Now, he took a closer look at the four people here. They had the same figures as the four assassins the other day!
Was it possible that the four people had pledged their loyalty to Ye Qingtang? And everything happened today was arranged by her?
However, even though the Great Elder had figured everything out, he also could not explain the origin of the letter. Ultimately, the letter’s target was the Master of the Ye family clan, Ye Ling.
It was a serious crime to assassinate either Ye Qingtang or Ye Ling!
“Great Elder intended to murder the heir of the family master. Take him down, now!” Ye Ling commanded.
When Ye Ling finished his words, the Second Elder began his attack towards the Great Elder.
The Great Elder did not expect this development. He could only fight back when the Second Elder attacked.
Everyone in the Ye family now was in a mess. The guests were here to celebrate the birthday of the Great Elder. They could not imagine that they had just witnessed the Great Elder sending assassins to kill the Young Lady of the Ye family. Furthermore, it was even more terrible that the Great Elder was exposed here.
The guests could not help but recall the Great Elder’s behaviors recently. Majority of the people knew about the Great Elder’s ambition towards the position as the family master. Ye Ling’s health had been deteriorating and might pass away soon. It would make sense that Ye Qingtang, being the only heir of the family, would become the target that the Great Elder intended to wipe off.
Duan Tianrao did not expect that everything that happened today was arranged by the Great Elder. He was totally stunned by the mess in front of him.
In ordinary circumstances, the Great Elder’s strength was less than that of the Second Elder. However, the Second Elder was hurt by the Great Elder and the Elders from the Duan family from when he finished his seclusion. Now, their abilities were comparable.
The Great Elder raged as he did not expect that he would be framed by Ye Qingtang. Even though the Second Elder was injured, his strength was still above the Great Elder’s. If they continued to fight, the Great Elder might die here today.
During the fight, the Great Elder’s sight landed on Ye Qingtang, who was standing in the crowd. When he was separated from the Second Elder for a short second, he rushed towards Ye Qingtang and intended to keep her as his hostage.
The Great Elder’s movements were unpredictable. At the split second when the Great Elder attacked, even Ye Qingtang could not react on time.
Ye Qingtang dodged immediately when she saw the Great Elder rushing towards her. She avoided the attack by the Great Elder, but her outer clothes were ripped apart by the Great Elder’s fingers.
The lightning dragon egg that Ye Qingtang hugged fell to the ground as her clothes were torn.
Ye Qingtang frowned as her dragon egg cracked on the ground. Before she could feel sad for the egg, the Great Elder dashed towards her for the second attack.
However…
A few cracking sounds could be heard among the commotion. The eggshell was falling off piece by piece from the cracked lightning dragon egg. Before anyone could react, a shadow rushed out of the cracked egg and dashed towards the Great Elder!
