"Are you... planning to leave the Northern Territory in the future?"
Upon hearing this question, Lu Ye considered it seriously.
The conclusion he reached was... why would he leave the Northern Territory?
For Lu Ye, cultivation is nothing more than hard work and effort. As for other matters, the Myriad Dao Pavilion always assists and takes care of them for him.
Even if he had to leave the Northern Territory, it would be to occasionally seek resources, a brief departure at most. Completely leaving was out of the question.
"Why leave the Northern Territory? The outside world isn’t necessarily better than the Northern Territory. Of course, a trip outside now and then wouldn’t be bad."
Upon hearing Lu Ye’s answer, Xiao Qingyin gave him a sideways glance, as if trying to determine if he was speaking the truth or lying.
...
Both being cultivators of high realm, they weren’t particular about their residing places. Over the next two days, Lu Ye and Xiao Qingyin randomly found a place to stay.
On the third day, Lu Ye finally received the information sent by the Silver Celestial Palace Envoy, Sang Xiyao, who had recently been added to his contacts.
It contained the eting point for the current Yunyao Secret Realm.
It was almost identical to the valley where Xiao Qingyin had taken him previously.
"I’ve received the location from the Celestial Palace Envoy." Monts later, Lu Ye turned and said to Xiao Qingyin.
"The envoy should be arriving soon. Usually, within three days after the ssage is sent, the envoy arrives," Xiao Qingyin explained after a brief thought.
This was already an established pattern.
"Then let’s wait for the envoy to arrive before heading to the eting point," said Lu Ye.
anwhile,
Within the Jiang Family, Jiang Lianshan had already cultivated the Earth Tier Martial Technique that Lu Ye had previously provided.
At the sa ti, Jiang Lianshan also selected three clan elders to pass on this Earth Tier Martial Technique to them.
"Our young son-in-law is truly promising. I was indeed mistaken back then," one elder said.
"Yes, who would’ve thought that in just a few short years, he’d achieve such accomplishnts?"
In the hall, the tone of the clan elders was filled with emotion.
Back when the Red Cloud Sect sent this disciple over,
during a banquet, it was exposed by other Inner Sect Disciples that Lu Ye was, in fact, just a newly admitted Servant Disciple. People in the Jiang Family, including Jiang Lianshan, felt like the sky was falling.
Aside from leveraging the Red Cloud Sect’s reputation, making a Servant Disciple part of the family, no matter how much the Jiang Family nurtured him, probably wouldn’t yield any outcos.
Who would’ve thought that a few years later, he’d beco such a figure!
With a serious expression, Jiang Lianshan said, "Now that Lu Ye is willing to help our Jiang Family, we old folks should perk up. Otherwise, his good intentions will be wasted."
Hearing this, the clan elders nodded, their faces also turning serious. At this age... it’s the pri ti to strive!
If the Jiang Family produces a Jiang-nad Grandmaster, it could skyrocket them into a Grandmaster Clan.
If it truly happens, the Jiang Family... could thrive and not disappoint their ancestors.
"It’s just... I feel like their relationship is a bit unusual," one of the clan elders remarked.
The other two clan elders thought for a mont and nodded.
Though they hadn’t seen much of Lu Ye and Jiang Qingge together in the family, it seed the two weren’t as close as normal couples.
To this, Jiang Lianshan sighed.
The main reason was that their earlier actions, due to the false claim of being an Inner Sect Disciple, were discomforting.
Yet Lu Ye didn’t hold a grudge and was still willing to assist the Jiang Family. The fruition of his and his daughter’s relationship shouldn’t be far off.
...
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
Now, less than five days remained until the Yunyao Secret Realm was to open.
Lu Ye and Xiao Qingyin returned to the valley, where nearly a hundred cultivators had congregated.
The numbers kept increasing, most of them Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm.
Upon their arrival, the Lingyao Celestial Palace Envoy hadn’t arrived yet, but Lu Ye imdiately spotted Qu Kai, whom he had sparred with a few days prior.
Qu Kai seed to have forgotten the conflict of the previous days. Seeing Lu Ye and Xiao Qingyin, he greeted them warmly, even initiating the conversation.
"Fairy Qingyin, Fellow Daoist, did you pass these days well?"
Faced with Qu Kai’s greeting, Lu Ye didn’t even have the inclination to respond.
A few days ago, he already understood Qu Kai’s intentions, and now seeing him act cordial was unbearable.
Xiao Qingyin glanced at Qu Kai, her brow slightly furrowed, as though wondering if he was pretending to be amiable for so hidden agenda.
Unless... was he trying to confuse others with his deanor?
With this thought, Xiao Qingyin felt a slight unease creep into her heart.
She recalled Lu Ye’s words.
If Qu Kai were to act again, he would surely have complete confidence!
Seeing Qu Kai’s sudden change in behavior, it indicated his intention to make a move!
Given her cultivation level, transmitting a ssage using sound could risk being intercepted by the Mortal Realm Grandmasters.
After so contemplation, Xiao Qingyin chose to send a ssage to Lu Ye via Communication Jade Token.
Xiao Qingyin: [Lu Ye, sothing’s off... This Qu Kai isn’t usually like this. I suspect he truly intends to act, and while outside he doesn’t dare, he might attempt sothing inside the Secret Realm!]
Xiao Qingyin: [Perhaps we should retreat for now, skip this Yunyao Secret Realm, and wait for another opportunity to arise?]
According to Xiao Qingyin’s assessnt, the Yunyao Secret Realm opens every few years.
It generally takes years and substantial resources for soone to advance through the Mortal Realm Grandmaster stages.
In a few years, Lu Ye’s cultivation level should still be within this range.
There is no need to worry about surpassing the Mortal Realm Grandmaster threshold.
Moreover, by then, he would possess greater competitiveness within the Mortal Realm Grandmasters, and it would avoid the current crisis, achieving multiple gains at once.
Given their proximity, Lu Ye didn’t expect the ssage from the Jade Token to be from Xiao Qingyin.
Receiving it, Lu Ye calmly signaled to Xiao Qingyin with his gaze, indicating not to worry.
Seeing Lu Ye’s composed deanor, as if unbothered, only made Xiao Qingyin more anxious.
Across from them, despite not receiving a response, Qu Kai’s friendly smile grew ever more amiable.
With the Secret Realm about to open, what’s left is to let these two enjoy a few remaining days of peace.
Beside Qu Kai stood another Mortal Realm Grandmaster, who appeared to be at the Mortal Realm Grandmaster Fifth Layer, slightly higher than Qu Kai.
Seeing Qu Kai’s greeting targets, the man’s gaze grew sharp.
"Fellow Daoist Qu, is that the person who injured you?"
