Chapter 879: Chapter 879: Shocking Big Secret

“Brother Ye?”

In a hall, Su Hanjing saw Ye Chenfeng and immediately rushed over.

“It’s alright! I’m here!” Ye Chenfeng comforted her.

He had now become Su Hanjing’s only pillar of support.

In the hall, there was Elder Tang, and the four chief elders.

“Elder Tang!”

Ye Chenfeng nodded at Elder Tang, then sat down in his seat.

“Mr. Ye, where are Hanjing’s adoptive parents? Why didn’t they come? We wanted to thank them properly!” Elder Tang asked kindly.

“Elder Tang, Hanjing’s parents are quite busy, so they entrusted this task to me. Have you confirmed Hanjing’s identity now?” Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help but ask.

Elder Tang nodded: “We’ve checked the mark on Hanjing, she is indeed my granddaughter, a descendant of the Tang Family.”

“That’s good!”

“Announce it, tomorrow we will hold the grand ceremony to recognize Hanjing and announce her new name. After all, Hanjing is the future master of the Tang Sect. The four elders, go and get prepared!” Elder Tang instructed.

When facing the four elders, Elder Tang’s demeanor became imposing, and an air of authority subtly emanated from her.

“Understood, Elder Tang, we will make all the necessary arrangements!” The four elders replied in unison.

At this moment, a figure staggered into the hall.

“Elder Tang, I… I have something to report…” The panting person was Tang Yi, the vice-head of the Mechanism Pavilion.

“Crack!”

But just then, the first elder suddenly stood up, and with a wave of his wide-sleeved robe, countless poison darts hit Tang Yi, creating several bloody holes on his body.

“I…”

Tang Yi didn’t finish his sentence before collapsing to the ground, never to rise again.

“Elder Tang, there’s something I didn’t report to you. Tang Yi used the Mechanism Pavilion to try and eliminate Miss, but fortunately, Mr. Ye here was very clever and never interacted with the Mechanism Pavilion, so Miss escaped danger. And Tang Xuan, who went to meet Miss, encountered the Mechanism Pavilion and suffered considerable losses,” the first elder explained to Elder Tang.

Elder Tang didn’t reply but looked at Su Hanjing and asked, “Hanjing, did you encounter any danger before?”

Su Hanjing shook her head: “We didn’t encounter any danger, but we heard explosions, as if there was a war going on.”

“What about you, Mr. Ye?” Elder Tang asked Ye Chenfeng again.

“We didn’t encounter any danger. I was hiding with Hanjing, as for who was fighting whom, I don’t know,” Ye Chenfeng replied.

The first elder then interjected: “I wanted to avoid worrying Elder Tang, so I kept this matter under wraps, I hope Elder Tang can forgive me!”

“Alright, I understand. Inform me promptly about any future matters!” Elder Tang seemed a bit angry.

“Understood, Elder Tang!”

Back in his residence, Ye Chenfeng’s expression turned grim.

He analyzed secretly: The first elder is likely the one collaborating with the Heavenly Dragon Nine Extremes to kill me.

Moreover, Ye Chenfeng was sure the first elder would play tricks.

On a dark and windy night, why not visit the first elder’s place.

In the middle of the night, a figure was moving through the Tang Family’s stronghold.

It was Ye Chenfeng, and he had roughly figured out the layout of the stronghold.

With his special skills, he quickly found the first elder’s residence.

The first elder’s residence was heavily guarded, but this posed no difficulty for Ye Chenfeng, who soon infiltrated it.

The scene inside the room did not disappoint Ye Chenfeng. There were the first elder, Tang Xuan, and several unfamiliar faces.

“Now that Tang Yi is eliminated and Ye Chenfeng has remained silent, Elder Tang cannot blame us,” the first elder said.

Tang Xuan nodded: “Just make sure Elder Tang doesn’t find out we’re still in contact with Senior Tang Yunhe, or even you, first elder, won’t be able to handle it.”

The first elder sneered: “It’s not the time to fall out yet, or I wouldn’t fear her at all. The Tang Sect has always been a matriarchy, this system is very archaic. The Tang Sect leader should be a man. Moreover, Elder Tang’s poor management forced our best talent, Tang Yunhe, to leave and branded him a traitor. However, Tang Yunhe is now a significant figure in the Dragon Flame with immense power!”

“Now that Elder Tang has brought her granddaughter Su Hanjing back, even Senior Tang Yunhe must be furious. Elder Tang’s intention is clear, to make Su Hanjing the next leader of the Tang Sect,” Tang Xuan said.

The first elder corrected him: “Wrong! That is not Elder Tang’s true intention!”

“What? That’s not Elder Tang’s intention? First elder?” Tang Xuan was astonished.

The first elder patted Tang Xuan on the shoulder: “Tang Xuan, you’re the young one I value most, it’s fine to tell you this.”

“Don’t worry, first elder, I will keep it secret,” Tang Xuan promised excitedly.

“Your uncle Tang Yunhe told me. He knows much more about the Tang Sect’s secrets than we do. He said Elder Tang went to great lengths to bring Su Hanjing back because of the secret she holds,” the first elder said.

Tang Xuan was shocked again: “A secret on Su Hanjing?”

“That’s right. According to your uncle Tang Yunhe, Su Hanjing carries a great secret related to the mark on her body. I specifically observed her today and found her unusually pure and kind. Elder Tang can easily control her, but what secret does she hold? It’s said the secret she carries could destroy the entire Tang Sect,” the first elder said with some surprise.

“That’s terrifying! I didn’t know this,” Tang Xuan said, astonished.

Outside, Ye Chenfeng, who was eavesdropping, was equally shocked by the news.

Su Hanjing was different from ordinary people, Ye Chenfeng knew this best, as she had been acknowledged by the Holy Grail for her pure character.

This alone distinguished her greatly, making it unsurprising for her to hold a great secret.

But what kind of secret could Su Hanjing be hiding? What was the mark on her body?

This made Ye Chenfeng extremely curious and eager to investigate further, sensing that Su Hanjing might hold an earth-shattering secret.

“What about Ye Chenfeng?” Tang Xuan asked.

“Your uncle Tang Yunhe said we shouldn’t interfere with Ye Chenfeng and Su Hanjing’s matters for now. He has his arrangements!” the first elder replied.

Ye Chenfeng thought secretly: It looks like I’ll have to face this Tang Sect genius. Leaving the Tang Sect won’t be easy.

Having heard what he wanted, Ye Chenfeng then left quietly.
