Compared to the version circulated outside, Jiang Qingge obviously knew more.
For instance, besides Lu Ye fainting from exhaustion, Jiang Lingyue had twice fallen into perilous situations.
If it weren’t for the sudden intervention of the mysterious black-clothed person, Jiang Lingyue might have ended up seriously injured, if not worse.
"I’m alright, sister," Jiang Lingyue said with a smile.
Jiang Qingge said, "Tell , what exactly happened that night? I’ve heard a lot of intel."
Jiang Lingyue nodded and began to recount the events.
...
After a while, Jiang Lingyue took a sip of water to moisten her throat.
"Phew, finally finished... Sister, you don’t know, I initially thought that mysterious black-clothed person was Brother-in-law Lu Ye!"
"Him?" Jiang Qingge sneered, "If he were the mysterious Innate from that night, I’d write my na backward."
"Oh, don’t say that," Jiang Lingyue waved her hand, "Brother-in-law is actually very good, he fought until he fainted that night."
Jiang Qingge remained unconvinced.
In Jiang Qingge’s view, Lu Ye didn’t need to get involved in such nonsense.
Living in the Jiang Family, all his needs were t without any worries.
What Lu Ye needed to do was break through higher martial realms, despite his weak qualifications as a servant.
Only in this way would he have a chance to change his destiny even slightly.
Instead of going out for ten to fifteen days just to earn a bit of silver from escort fees.
With limited talent, unable to distinguish the important from the trivial, Jiang Qingge didn’t believe that Lu Ye could reach Innate in this lifeti, unless he had an incredible stroke of luck.
If he could reach Postnatal Middle Stage by the end of his life, that would be fortunate.
Originally intending to bring up Chen Lingxiang, Jiang Lingyue had a vague feeling... Chen Lingxiang seed to have sothing against Brother-in-law.
But seeing Jiang Qingge’s indifferent expression, seemingly unconcerned about Lu Ye, Jiang Lingyue ultimately kept silent.
...
Lu Ye didn’t know that in Jiang Qingge’s eyes, the best he could hope for this lifeti was Postnatal Middle Stage.
Of course, even if he knew, Lu Ye would dismiss her as a frog in a well.
Was Innate an unattainable realm for him, Lu Ye?
A frog in a well... how could it know the vastness of the sky!
In the following ten days, due to no specified draws, Lu Ye received a bottle of Upper Grade Condensing Origin Pill as a guarantee.
And through ten days of intensive cultivation, he successfully reached Postnatal Ninth Layer!
The Innate Realm coveted by mortals was now within a step’s reach for Lu Ye.
Invitations to the Wang Family Ancestor’s banquet were being sent out like snowflakes.
As a prestigious Innate Clan, the Jiang Family naturally received a stack of invitations.
Each invitation allowed for bringing two guests.
Apart from Innate Clans that opposed the Wang Family, all other forces expressed their intention to attend.
After all, the martial world is not just about fighting and killing.
If you don’t show them face, when you host a banquet or need help, they won’t pay you any attention either.
Looking at the invitation Qing Yu brought back for him, Lu Ye opened it.
"Wang Family Ancestor’s Banquet?"
A trace of contemplation flashed in Lu Ye’s eyes.
After the demise of Chaotic Wind Mountain, the Wang Family remained exceedingly calm, showing no reaction at all, as if the matter had nothing to do with them.
Now, are they using the ancestor’s banquet to make a move, or is it really just a simple birthday banquet?
After a mont of thought, Lu Ye felt it unlikely to be just a birthday banquet.
After all, the Wang Family lost a Forbidden Artifact refined in the Blood Pool.
Lu Ye didn’t care for such a fragnted Forbidden Artifact with backfire effects.
But no one else would turn down a weapon that could enhance combat strength.
The Chen Family, being the only Innate Clan in Luohua City, would certainly receive an invitation to the Wang Family banquet.
Lu Ye guessed that Chen Lingxiang would most likely attend.
"In that case, after attaining Innate, I might as well go take a look, and see what they’re up to, also returning her the Storage Ring."
Checking the invitation ti, there were approximately twenty days left.
This ti was plenty for Lu Ye, with a bit of help from the hundredfold amplification and his own efforts, to reach Postnatal Ninth Layer Perfection.
....
Luohua Chen Family.
When the invitation was delivered to the Chen Mansion, Chen Lingxiang pondered over it.
"Jiang Qingge is the Eldest Miss of the Jiang Family, and since Lu Ye is her husband, he must be among the invitees from the Wang Family... I can et him then."
After thinking this through, Chen Lingxiang humd softly.
First, I’ll try to improve my relationship with Lu Ye!
In Luohua City, City Lord’s Mansion.
An invitation was delivered to the mansion.
In the hall, Yun Qianshan, looking slightly pale, sat on a purple wood chair.
Looking at the approaching Wu Jun, he said faintly, "This is an invitation from the Wang Family of Qingshan City. I’m tied up with matters, you go on behalf of and bring a gift."
Qingshan City Wang Family?
Wu Jun nodded, "Yes, Master."
Noticing Yun Qianshan’s unwell appearance, Wu Jun asked with concern, "Master, what’s the matter?"
Yun Qianshan waved his hand, "I overexerted in cultivation, caused so Source Qi backflow, nothing serious, go ahead."
...
Walking out of the City Lord’s Mansion with the invitation, Wu Jun encountered two rather pretty won head-on.
"Young Master Wu, we’ve received an invitation from the Wang Family of Qingshan City. Would you like to join us?"
The two won mustered their courage to speak.
Though Chen Lingxiang showed no interest in Wu Jun at all.
In reality, however, even a Postnatal Third Layer like Wu Jun was seen as an ideal match by many.
After all, regardless of Wu Jun’s personal attributes, his backing was the City Lord’s Mansion!
If they could connect with Wu Jun, they’d have ties to the City Lord’s Mansion.
Glancing over them, Wu Jun, with a gentlemanly smile, said, "Sorry, I already have plans."
Watching Wu Jun head towards the Chen Mansion, the two won exchanged a forlorn look.
The appointnt Wu Jun ntioned was likely with that person from the Chen Family.
Faced with a rival of such supre talent and looks, they felt no urge to compete.
Arriving at the Chen Mansion, he effortlessly made his way to Chen Lingxiang’s courtyard.
Smiling, Wu Jun called out loudly, "Miss Lingxiang, how about we attend the Wang Family Ancestor’s Banquet of Qingshan City together?"
Chen Lingxiang frowned slightly and stepped out, coolly replying, "Sorry, Young Master Wu, I already have arrangents."
Upon hearing this, Wu Jun’s face turned a bit red.
The sa words he had just uttered.
He hadn’t expected them to be turned against him so soon.
"Forgive my boldness, could the one you have arrangents with be that Jiang Family’s son-in-law?" Unwilling to concede, Wu Jun quickly said, his face flushed.
Gazing at Wu Jun, who pointedly ntioned "Jiang Family’s son-in-law," Chen Lingxiang shook her head slightly.
This fickle temperant couldn’t compare to the ’Jiang Family’s son-in-law’ in the slightest.
When it ca to deanor, he fell short; in terms of strength, he was utterly outmatched.
