Qing Ming was completely stunned as he stared at the direction of Qianbei Ye’s departure. His eyes were filled with astonishment.
“Based on what the Young Master had just said, why do I feel as if he does not attach any importance upon the Ancestral Elders? Especially that manner of speaking, he speaks as if this were an order from him to them!”
Qing Ming shook his head at the thought of this.
As long as he completed the task given to him by the Young Master, that was enough. Whatever the Ancestral Elders decide, that was not for him to question.
…
The Underworld.
Gu Ruoyun and Qianbei Ye had only just stepped into a large courtyard when a maidservant hurried towards them, bowed and said, “Young Master, you’ve finally emerged. I serve the Palace Lord, the Elders, and the Young Madam as well. I had been ordered to wait here for you.”
The Young Madam?
Hearing this, Qianbei Ye’s eyes narrowed, “What did you just say? Young Madam? Who did you say was the Young Madam?”
The maidservant’s heart shook as a sense of astonishment flashed across her eyes. However, she did not dare to look at Qianbei Ye at all and lowered her head to reply respectfully, “The daughter of the Palace Lord, Lady Huang Ying. The Palace Lord has given the order to select an auspicious day once you’ve emerged so you can get married. He has even said…”
She eyed the woman in green who was standing next to Qianbei Ye carefully as she spoke, “He’s even said that Lady Gu is not a member of the Underworld. This clan meeting is to discuss the Young Master’s marriage so she does not need to participate.”
Boom!
A powerful and explosive aura erupted from Qianbei Ye’s being. He then raised his hand and grabbed the maidservant’s throat. His peerless features looked entirely ashen while his red eyes flickered with murderous intent, “Who gave you the permission to address Huang Ying as the Young Madam?”
The maidservant’s face turned red from being choked by Qianbei Ye as she gasped, “It… It was the Palace Lord’s order.”
Wham!
Qianbei Ye lifted the maidservant up high before throwing her fiercely out of the way. The maidservant’s body slammed into a stone table with a loud thump. She then spat out a mouthful of blood as she stared at Qianbei Ye with a pale look on her face. Her eyes were filled with shock.
“My wife is Gu Ruoyun alone! Since she dares to consider herself as the Young Madam, she must pay the price!”
Qianbei Ye did not look at the frightened maidservant as he lifted his hand and pulled Gu Ruoyun into his arms. There was a cold, bloody light in his red eyes as he said, “Let’s go, Yun’er! I had thought of waiting for you to come out before changing the blood in the Underworld so it’s about time to do it now!”
Gu Ruoyun gently raised the corners of her lips and her clear and cold features were shrouded in an icy light. It was obvious that she felt murderous towards these people as well.
However, she believes that Xiao Ye could take care of this matter very well.
In the noisy Clan Hall, a voice suddenly rang out, interrupting the bustling noise and sending the hall back into silence.
“Palace Lord, Elders, the Young Master has arrived.”
“Young Master?”
Hearing this, the crowd rose to their feet and turned their eyes toward the crimson-robed man who had entered the room.
A woman in green was standing next to the man as well. This woman was delicate and beautiful as her long hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall. Her chilly eyes carried a cold light but she only scanned the Clan Hall once before turning away.
“Young Master, I’ve already said that this is an internal matter of the Underworld. Outsiders are not allowed to participate!”
The Palace Lord furrowed his brows as his voice filled with obvious annoyance.
Qianbei Ye’s gaze darkened, “Yun’er is my wife.”
That means that she was no mere outsider.
