The Ancestor of our Sect Isn't Acting like an Elder

Chapter 23: 23

23 – Interlude, Grand Play

The lonely moon quietly hanging in the night sky disseminated chilly moonlight, which outlined the figure of a pure white girl .

Looking at the fox ear girl quietly standing on the edge of the cliff, the Spirit Moon Valley’s Elder Bai Youyue eventually couldn’t help but to call out: “Great Ancestor...”

“Yes?” The other side asked in reply without turning her head . Her voice was pleasant, lacking any anger .

After hesitating for a ling time, Bai Youyue finally summoned her courage to ask: “We have been standing here for a long time . ”

“Have we?”

“Great Ancestor, what are you looking at...” Bai Youyue and her Great Ancestor – the fox ear girl, stood on the peak of a mountain . In the direction they were facing, the Heavenly Sword Manor could be seen in the distance .

However, they were at least five kilometers apart . With her cultivation base, Bai Youyue could only faintly make up the Heavenly Sword Manor’s outline .

But this was only true for her . With the cultivation base of her Great Ancestor, she should be able to have a clear view of everything that was taking place in the Heavenly Sword Manor .

Just what is Great Ancestor looking at?

As far as Bai Youyue knew, there were very few things in the world that could pique Great Ancestor’s interest . This time, she participated in the Heavenly Sword Gate’s banquet under disguise, which was beyond everyone’s expectation .

And now, she even revealed an expression overflowing with interest as she looked at the Heavenly Sword Manor . This was just too outrageous . Bai Youyue has never seen her Great Ancestor show such an expression .

“Are you curious?” There was virtually no fluctuation in her tone . This sentence made Bai Youyue sense an inexplicable pressure .

“This... martial grandniece knows that she’s in the wrong . ”

Bai Youyue thought that Great Ancestor was rebuking her . But in fact, it didn’t seem to be the case .

“Are you afraid of me?” After taunting, the fox ear girl continued with an enigmatic smile, “I’m watching a play, a grand play . ”

“... What grand play?”

“... It’s a play about the Merak Palace’s Young Ancestor being bullied by others . ” The fox ear girl spoke in a playful tone .

The Merak Palace’s Young Ancestor? In a split second, the image of a girl with two ponytails appeared in Bai Youyue’s mind .

“Did the Heavenly Sword Gate attack the Merak Palace’s Young Ancestor?” Bai Youyue knew a little about the dispute between the Heavenly Sword Gate and the Merak Palace .

“This Hua Tianji is at the top now . ” The girl continued intriguingly: “However, it’s still too early to tell whose going to be the one to be buried in the hole . ”

The girl’s phrasing confirmed Bai Youyue’s guess .

Although she didn’t fully understand the girl’s words, but Bai Youyue was more concerned about..., “Great Ancestor... you’re not going to stop it?”

“Why would I?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Great Ancestor, didn’t you...” After speaking until here, Bai Youyue suddenly held her tongue .

During the Heavenly Sword Sect’s banquet, when Bai Youyue was looking for Great Ancestor who left in midway, she stumbled upon the latter instructing the Merak Palace’s Young Ancestor . At that time, due to curiosity, Bai Youyue eavesdropped .

Of course, with her capability, Great Ancestor should have known that the other side was eavesdropping . Be that as it may, it was one thing for the other side to know, but it was another thing for her to speak of it .

However, the girl didn’t seem to care, “That was just pay back for a favor of Qi Guiyuan’s . ”

“So it’s like this . ” Tactful, Bai Youyue didn’t inquire for details . Some things had to be left untouched .

Next, silence pervaded the air .

Bai Youyue was used to Great Ancestor’s personality, and so didn’t feel uncomfortable .

After some time, the fox ear girl finally retracted her gaze, and then swung her sleeve and turned around .

Taking light steps, she passed by Bai Youyue... “Xue Qilin, ah Xue Qilin, don’t let me down . ”

Bai Youyue stared blankly for a moment, and then jogged to catch up with the fox ear girl who was already far away .

What is Great Ancestor looking forward to? She mused as she looked at the ethereal silhouette .
