She has other backers besides the Overlord

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.
