Rebirth of the Strongest Female Emperor

ter chances of finding out who your birth parents are.” Ye Ling placed the pendant in Ye Qingtang’s hand, he was proud and grateful for having Ye Qingtang as a daughter.

Ye Qingtang observed the pendant in her hand.
The feelings she had now were pretty complicated.
In her past, Ye Ling passed away before he could reveal this secret to anyone, thus she could never imagine there was such a story behind her birth.

But now….

To think she would only discover this secret, after all this time.

Ye Qingtang grasped the pendant as she raised her eyes filled with determination, and looked at Ye Ling.

“You’ll always be my father.”

Ye Ling gave a gentle smile, that assurance alone was the most gratifying reward in his life.

“It’s getting late, you should go rest up.
There’re still preparations to be done for your journey to Xuan Ling’s clan.”

“Yes, father.” Ye Qingtang nodded before she got up from her seat.

“Right, there’s one more thing.” Ye Ling spoke up abruptly.

Ye Qingtang stopped in her tracks.

“After dealing with the Great Elder, your uncle and I’ve also gotten rid of his conspirators within the household.
We wanted to deal with Ye Xun as well but couldn’t find her.
After investigation, it seems the Great Elder has sent her away discreetly in the midst of the celebration and we’ve no idea where she went.” Ye Ling knitted his brows as he spoke.

He had fostered two daughters, but in the case of Ye Xun, there were many witnesses around when she was picked up.
Thus, unlike Ye Qingtang, she could only be known as an adopted child, but Ye Ling had never played favorites and treated both of them equally as his own children.

But who could have expected their characters would turn out to be polar opposites even when they were raised under the same roof.

And unfortunately, Ye Xun turned out to be a snake in the grass.

“Duly noted, father.
I’ll be sure to watch out.” Ye Qingtang gave a slight nod.
With the Great Elder’s death, there was no way to ascertain where Ye Xun was sent, but regardless, she would keep up her vigilance.

“That’s good.
Go get some rest then.” Ye Ling nodded and ended their conversation for the night.
