Duan Tianrao instinctively protected Ye Xun as he clearly felt a powerful aura surging crazily from within the Second Elder.

At the sight of the two, the Duan family Elders’ faces darkened, and they jumped to the front of Duan Tianrao and Ye Xun to block them.

“Second Elder, this matter has nothing to do with others’ slander. You know very well what you did,” an Elder from the Duan family said in a low voice.

“What I did?” The Second Elder scoffed. “I have been in seclusion for such a long time and had never once left a step. Never had I thought that you all would accuse me like this!”

Looking at the Second Elder’s increasingly raging force, another Elder from the Duan family protected Duan Tianrao while scoffing. “If you wanted to do it, why would you do it personally? As Elders as well, we know that you arranged for your henchman to deliver food and clothes to you daily while you were in seclusion. It is nothing impossible if you entrusted the matter to your henchman.”

Ye Ling understood the situation very clearly after looking at the commotion. He was initially confused over the reason for the Duan family’s presence, but now it seemed that the Great Elder came prepared. He failed in having Ye Ling killed yesterday, and now, he actually wanted to push the responsibility of the crime on the Second Elder!

Ye Ling was not a fool. He was very aware of the reason why the Great Elder wanted to get rid of the Second Elder.

In the whole Ye family, only the Second Elder’s abilities could compete with the Great Elder’s. If the Second Elder died, the Great Elder could freely deal with Ye Ling and Ye Qingtang.

“Wait! There aren’t any clues regarding yesterday’s incident at all. Isn’t the Great Elder’s assertive judgment too irresponsible?” Ye Ling stepped forward immediately and looked at the Great Elder coldly. “Moreover, the Second Elder is very loyal to the Ye family and is certainly not someone who would do such an evil thing. The real murderer behind the assassins is definitely not him.”

The Great Elder looked at Ye Ling and responded without much emotion. “Family master, I know that you are very close to the Second Elder, but there is an old saying: you may know a person’s face, but not his heart. The Second Elder had been in seclusion these days, but such a huge incident happened in the Ye family. If both you and I died, the Ye family would naturally fall in his hands, and it is exactly because he is in seclusion that outsiders would not suspect him at all. All of this was merely his plan from long ago. You should not be blinded by his trick.”

Ye Ling’s face darkened. He would definitely not believe it if anyone said the Second Elder was disloyal. Moreover, he already knew from last night that the assassins were sent by the Great Elder. Whatever the Great Elder said today was merely to push the blame on the Second Elder.

However…

Even though Ye Ling knew who the real murderer was, he understood the situation before him.

Even if he were to say that the Great Elder was the one who hired the assassins, there would be no meaning in it at all.

Ye Xun had long been on friendly terms with the Great Elder, and the Duan family would naturally stand on the Great Elder’s side. Even if Ye Ling tried to reveal the Great Elder’s true colors in front of everyone, the Great Elder would just take advantage of the opportunity and silence him!

“Father, the Great Elder is doing this for you and the welfare of the Ye family. The Second Elder has evil intentions and planned to steal the position of the Family Master. You must not care about your past friendship with him and be softhearted. Otherwise, there will be endless trouble. Even if you don’t think for yourself, you should spare a thought for Tang Tang.” Ye Xun said with a faked worrying tone. She was persuading Ye Ling on the surface, but in reality, she pointed out Ye Qingtang to force Ye Ling to prioritize Ye Qingtang’s safety. If Ye Ling stood up for the Second Elder forcefully, they would not guarantee Ye Qingtang’s safety.
