Seeing Jiang Lingyue among the support troops, Jiang Qingge was also sowhat surprised.
She quickly walked out of the tent, slightly reproaching: "Why did you co too? It’s such a dangerous matter."
Jiang Lingyue swept to her sister’s side, revealing her aura.
"I am also in the Postnatal Realm now, capable of becoming the family’s combat strength. There’s danger in the mining area, I should naturally co."
Jiang Qingge: "..."
"By the way, where’s the Black Mist Evil Spirits?" Jiang Lingyue vigilantly scanned her surroundings and said, "I’ve prepared myself for a big battle."
"They were all dealt with by a passing senior." In Jiang Qingge’s mind, Lu Ye’s face beneath the veil appeared.
Even now, Jiang Qingge still felt that the scene seed a bit unreal.
The man who married into the Jiang Family and beca her husband... turned out to be the Mysterious Grandmaster renowned in the Northern Territory!
After entering the Jiang Family for two years, he’s only around twenty-two years old!
Almost the sa age as herself, even if he started cultivating from birth, reaching the current realm is already astonishing.
She really didn’t know how he cultivated.
Diligence was evident; when she asked him... asked him to go to sleep, he remained indifferent and only focused on cultivation.
The talent... Could it be, the Red Cloud Sect misjudged him back then? Could he have extraordinarily high aptitude?
While Jiang Qingge pondered in her heart, both parties t.
Right away, the Guard Captain briefly summarized the previous events.
Including the appearance of a mysterious senior who effortlessly vanquished the Black Mist Evil Spirits and claid to know Lu Ye.
"By the way, brother-in-law..."
Jiang Lingyue’s face suddenly showed so worry since she hadn’t seen Lu Ye for more than half a day after they parted yesterday.
"What’s wrong?" Noticing her sister’s uneasy expression, Jiang Qingge asked.
Jiang Lingyue looked around and quietly recounted the situation of her and Lu Ye possibly offending the Blood Evil Sect.
"Brother-in-law probably worried about us being retaliated against, so he insisted on going alone," Jiang Lingyue said, sowhat lancholic.
After hearing this, Jiang Qingge suddenly raised her eyebrows, her gaze filled with peculiarity.
"You an... you two went to an auction?"
"Ah... it was just a coincidence, I thought it was boring at ho, and brother-in-law might not have... gone before, so I thought of going together with him."
Unexpectedly, her sister actually asked about this, causing Jiang Lingyue to tense up and speak haltingly.
If she had known, she wouldn’t have ntioned it to her sister.
Jiang Lingyue worried that if her sister deduced sothing from this...
It would be troubleso.
Fortunately, Jiang Qingge only stared at Jiang Lingyue for a few seconds before shifting her gaze and nodding: "Well, being cooped up at ho is boring; going to an auction for a change of pace is good."
Jiang Lingyue breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed: "Yes, yes... next ti, if sister has ti, we can go together; it’s been a long ti since we went."
Seeing her sister’s seemingly indifferent deanor, Jiang Lingyue thought, "Sister really doesn’t care for brother-in-law; she’s not even worried about such a critical matter."
Jiang Qingge indeed wasn’t worried. If she had heard of this before the previous eting, she might have been concerned.
Now...
That Blood Evil Sect better pray that the man doesn’t co after them.
Monts later, two groups deployed so personnel to form a small team, cautiously patrolling the surroundings.
The mysterious senior ntioned that the vicinity was cleared.
But if they lacked any vigilance and another crisis arose, they couldn’t always hope for a passing expert to rescue them.
After patrolling four to five miles around, not a single Black Mist Evil Spirit or even a fierce beast was to be seen, though a few mosquitoes remained.
The Guard Captain couldn’t help but exclaim: "This senior is truly a noble person; such great kindness we can’t repay."
...
The next day.
Having inspected almost the entire mining area, Jiang Qingge prepared to return to the Jiang Family.
Since Jiang Lingyue’s arrival last night, Jiang Qingge hadn’t seen Lu Ye again; he seed to have vanished.
However, Jiang Qingge had an inkling... he was likely nearby.
But Lu Ye didn’t want to reveal himself actively, so she couldn’t find him.
Elsewhere.
High in the trees, Lu Ye gradually completed his cultivation, and his foundation, recently strengthened, had now thoroughly stabilized.
"You’re in the Grandmaster Realm?! This old man really made a mistake."
A slightly surprised voice emanated from the Storage Ring.
It was the old man sealed inside the box.
Lu Ye was sowhat astonished; the square box was placed inside the Storage Ring, yet this person could still sense his cultivation fluctuations?
"How did you know?"
At his words, the old man laughed smugly: "Do you think this old man is an insignificant creature? If I were to reveal my na, you would be shocked!"
After pondering for a mont, Lu Ye curiously asked: "You’re so powerful, so how did you end up sealed here?"
Old man: "..."
At this mont, the old man felt perhaps the world had changed, and young people nowadays... spoke so disapprovingly.
"If it weren’t for a montary oversight on my part, even Gu... even that person couldn’t have sealed ! Pah!"
"What Gu? Continue," Lu Ye said with interest.
"You little brat, don’t think of extracting information from this old man; I’m not so naïve youngster easily trapped by you." The old man snorted and fell silent.
Contemplating briefly, Lu Ye calmly remarked: "Could it be you’re speaking of Gu Wujue?"
Gu Wujue was also a top figure tens of thousands of years ago, a contemporary Sword Immortal who created the Heaven-Defying Three Swords.
Of course, Gu is not a rare surna, and Lu Ye was rely guessing.
Unexpectedly, from within the box, the elderly voice, carrying a hint of bewildernt, spoke: "You... you also know that shaless Gu Wujue?!"
"No, absolutely impossible, that old man has been gone for who knows how many years; with your age, it’s impossible you know him!"
"You’re a cunning brat; don’t try to trick this old man!"
Realizing Lu Ye’s intent to elicit information, the elder inside the box beca completely silent.
Lu Ye chuckled; this old senior was rather cautious.
Sensing distant movents, Lu Ye pondered for a mont, then silently headed in that direction.
...
Mining area.
The support group had co on fast horses, but Jiang Qingge could ride too, so there was no worry about the return journey.
Mounting a gentle horse, the group began their return journey to the Jiang Family.
Gazing at her sister beside her, Jiang Qingge contemplated for a mont before speaking softly.
"I’ve decided, when we return, if Lu Ye is willing, I’ll... have him move to my small courtyard."
Upon suddenly hearing such explosive news, Jiang Lingyue almost fell off her horse in shock!
Sister living with Lu Ye... what about her?!
Was her arrival ill-tid?!
