Chapter 70: Birthday Celebration (7)

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas StudiosWhile Mu Su spoke with generosity, he was, in reality, very clear that even if Ye Qingtang did not have a spirit root, he would still forcefully place Ye Qingtang in Xuanling Sect according to a certain person’s order.Everyone’s had an incredulous look on their face upon hearing Mu Su’s words.What was going on with Lord Mu Su?Why did he treat Ye Qingtang with such courtesy?Not only did he personally come to meet Ye Qingtang, but he even permitted Ye Qingtang’s absurd request and, what more, invited to bring her to check the quality of her spirit root!It was known that Mu Su possessed a noble identity; amongst the people he knew, how many of them were ordinary people?In an instant, many envious eyes landed on Ye Qingtang one after another, and the children of family clans all wished that they were Ye Qingtang.Regardless of any other thing, simply having Mu Su recommend them to participate in any sect assessment was already a blessing of many lifetimes!The Great Elder’s expression was extremely ugly at that point. He simply had not thought that Ye Qingtang would have such a favorable turnaround.As for Ye Xun, who had been standing aside, she was already very shocked when she saw Ye Qingtang showing her spirit root. Now that she heard Mu Su’s agreement to recommend Ye Qingtang to Xuanling Sect, her legs wobbled suddenly, and uneasiness arose from within as she instinctively turned to look at Duan Tianrao beside her.This was only to see that Duan Tianrao’s brows were tightly furrowed as he locked his gaze on Ye Qingtang who was standing amongst the crowd.“Darling Duan…”All of a sudden, Duan Tianrao turned over to look at the uneasy Ye Xun and said with a frown, “Xun, didn’t you tell me that Ye Qingtang’s spirit root broke?”Ye Xun’s face froze. “Her spirit root… did break, and there’s no wrong in that, but I don’t know how she was able to grow a new one…”Duan Tianrao’s frown deepened. At that point, his gaze towards Ye Xun had lost its previous affection.Initially, Duan Tianrao was so insistent on canceling his engagement with Ye Qingtang because of two reasons: Firstly, he had never seen Ye Qingtang’s face, and rumors had it that she was hideous-looking; Secondly, it was because Ye Qingtang lost her spirit root, and it would be hard for her to achieve anything in cultivation in the future.However…All of these were proved otherwise in front of Duan Tianrao’s eyes.Not only was Ye Qingtang not ugly, she was extremely beautiful, and the originally broken spirit root actually grew back.At that very moment, fury suddenly riled up in Duan Tianrao, as he felt that he had been toyed by Ye Xun. It should be known that regardless of Ye Qingtang’s appearance or the breaking of Ye Qingtang’s spirit root, he heard all of these from Ye Xun. However, now… everything that Ye Xun told him turned out to be false.“Darling Duan…” Ye Xun anxiously glanced at the unhappy-looking Duan Tianrao and trembled.However, Duan Tianrao turned on his heel without saying anything. While he had not left the Ye residence, it was obvious that he did not want to be entangled with Ye Xun any longer.Ye Xun was shocked.On the other side, upon hearing Mu Su’s invitation, Ye Qingtang thought that it would naturally be best if she could learn more about the rebuilding of her spirit root from others since she had not seen anything like this before.However…Ye Qingtang’s eyes glistened slightly. There was still another good show coming up tonight, and she could not leave at that moment.“Thank you for your kindness, Lord Mu Su. There are many guests today, and as the Young Lady of the Ye family, I should not be a poor host. If Lord Mu Su doesn’t mind, can I head there a while later?” Ye Qingtang asked.How could Mu Su put Ye Qingtang on the spot? He was already very satisfied when he heard her agreement.
