Chapter 317: She has other backers besides the Overlord

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations  Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

Ye Qing Luo’s thin brows frowned slightly when she caught the tone in Yun Duan’s voice and brought a little caution.

Was Yun Duan seeking her opinion?

It should be… impossible.

Ye Qing Luo cast the thought aside and gave a little nod: “I shall abide to the grand elder’s arrangements.”

Yun Duan stroked his white beard and threw a side glance at Yun Xiang, with unpleasant looks on his face.

“Student Ye, you must be terrified. Go ahead and get some rest, the elder quarter will take action to apologise some other day.”

Ye Qing Luo was a tactful person, as the grand elder of the elder quarters, he wouldn’t blame it on his own people.

And Liu Xue Yue became the tool that Yun Duan used to block the knife for Yun Xiang.

Yun Xiang punished Liu Xue Yue and even asked if Ye Qing Luo was happy with the results as an indication that she should step down and not probed further.

Ye Qing Luo knew what she had to do; she gave a courteous bow to Yun Duan and left the hall immediately.

Her ears twitched the moment she stepped out of the hall, only to hear Yun Duan’s voice: “Don’t just stand there, you better reflect on your own actions. You shall remain in your courtyard for the next few days to show remorse as an accountability towards student Ye.”

“Grand Elder! She is only a freshman! You…..”

“She is indeed a freshman.” Yun Duan interrupted Yun Xiang’s word, “But this freshman is someone you cannot afford to offend, so you better steer clear away from her and not get the elder quarters involved otherwise I will not be able to protect you the next time!”

“I have check on her background, there isn’t anything special beside that she knows the overlord.” Yun Xiang’s tone became more solemn when he realised Yun Duan was being serious, “Moreover, this freshman is someone that the upper level wants to watch….”

It seemed like his words were stopped by Yun Duan before he could finish his sentence.

Ye Qing Luo was unable to halt her footwork as there were guards surrounding her.

As she gradually made her way out of the elder quarters, she was unable to detect Yun Duan’s voice with her sharp ears.

But she was still able to make out some of the words faintly: “She has other backers besides the Overlord.”

“……”

After that, she could no longer hear any voices.

But Ye Qing Luo caught a key name.

Vaguely, she seemed to have caught a name of a master Zhu besides the overlord.

Master Zhu?

Subconsciously, it reminded her of the cortege that came to deliver the medicine pills previously who had also mentioned about Master Zhu.

Could it be…. The reason why Yun Duan would appear and stood on her side unconditionally to punish Liu Xue Yue was because of that master Zhu?”

That master Zhu….

Who exactly was he?

Ye Qing Luo was puzzled and confused as she had searched for his name in her memory but to no vail.
