Entering a cave, there were no fortunate natives to be found.
Lu Ye first took out the storage rings of the four Grandmasters of the Ninth Layer he acquired in the Secret Realm, and inventoried their contents.
Without exception, there wasn’t much silver in the rings of the four.
Together, they had about ten to twenty million in silver notes.
To Lu Ye’s delight, the Source Crystals added up to around two hundred.
It’s fair to say, it was quite a bounty.
As for the Tier Earth and Celestial Tier Secret Manuals left by the four, Lu Ye skimd through them briefly, finding them uninteresting.
"These manuals, I can leave one each for Tian Qing and the Jiang Family."
The rest could be sold off when the opportunity arises.
...
This cultivation session lasted five days.
After five days, Lu Ye erged from the cave, oriented himself, and headed toward Cloud Leaf City.
It’s been quite so ti since I last saw that girl Qing Yu, he thought.
Not knowing how she’s been, Lu Ye decided to go back and take a look.
Traveling swiftly, within a few hours, Cloud Leaf City was already in view.
Removing the Chen Beixuan mask outside the city to return to his original appearance, Lu Ye entered the city.
Shortly after entering the city, he unexpectedly encountered Nangong Xihua.
Upon seeing him, Nangong Xihua imdiately approached.
"Oh, you’ve returned?"
Lu Ye nodded: "Just happened to be free, so I ca back for a look."
When he saw the maid beside Nangong Xihua, who seed familiar, Lu Ye looked closely and imdiately laughed.
"You’re... Lv He?"
He had so impression of this maid; she used to have a good relationship with Qing Yu, and you could often see them together.
But Lu Ye rembered that Lv He was supposed to be a maid of so Postnatal Realm family in the city.
How co now she’s beside Nangong Xihua? Could it be that Nangong Xihua persuaded her away?
"Greetings, Mr. Lu." Lv He suddenly seeing Lu Ye, was taken aback as well, and hurriedly saluted him.
Because of always playing with Qing Yu, Lv He habitually addressed Lu Ye as ’Mr.’
Hearing this, Lu Ye shook his head and said, "I’m not your ’Mr.’, just call Lu Ye."
"Lv He, you’re with , so why call him Mr.?" Nangong Xihua also noticed sothing wrong and glared at Lv He.
Lv He also sensed a misstep, stuck out her tongue, and hastily corrected herself to call him Young Master Lu.
After all, her current master was Miss Nangong.
If she bluntly called Lu Ye ’Mr.’, wouldn’t that imply... Lu Ye is Miss Nangong’s husband?
That can’t do!
"I rember, Lv He wasn’t supposed to be your maid," Lu Ye thought, recalling.
Listening to Lv He’s words, Lu Ye then learned.
She had actually been laid off and after so twists, was seen by Nangong Xihua, who purchased her to help manage the affairs of the mansion.
"I see, now I understand," Lu Ye nodded, "In that case, I won’t disturb you any longer; I have so business to attend to, I’ll be off."
Watching Lu Ye’s departing figure, it seed Lv He wanted to say sothing.
But Lu Ye’s steps were quick, and he soon disappeared around the street corner.
"What do you want to say?" Noticing the maid’s movents beside her, Nangong Xihua slightly turned her head, curious.
"Hehe, nothing really, when he rembers, he will naturally co to ask ." Unexpectedly, Lv He giggled playfully, not clarifying further.
...
Elsewhere, Lu Ye arrived effortlessly at a house on the outskirts of town.
As he approached the vicinity, he suddenly felt sothing was off.
Silence...
The surroundings were completely silent, with no signs of activity.
With his current five senses, even without intentionally spreading his Spiritual Sense to observe carefully,
just with natural perception, he could sense movents within a dozen ters, even breathing and slight footsteps, shouldn’t be missed.
In the yard before him, there was nothing...
"Qing Yu not ho?"
Lu Ye pondered for a mont, ca to the courtyard gate, and found it locked.
However, Lu Ye did have the key to this lock, which Qing Yu had once given him.
After opening the courtyard gate, Lu Ye’s expression instantly beca slightly serious.
A lived-in courtyard is quite different from one that hasn’t been lived in for so ti.
Within the courtyard, traces of dust could be seen everywhere, indicating that Qing Yu had left so ti ago.
Seeing this, Lu Ye felt a slight tension in his heart, along with a tinge of guilt.
She followed him from the Jiang Family, and indeed, he had cared too little for this little maid.
Qing Yu wouldn’t have... run into trouble, would she?
Imdiately, Lu Ye began searching in the small courtyard.
Hoping to find so clues, to see whether Qing Yu left on her own or was kidnapped.
Fortunately, monts later, Lu Ye found a note on his room desk, written in graceful handwriting.
It was left by Qing Yu.
The general aning of the note was that she would be away for a while, and if Lu Ye returned, he could go to her room.
There’s a small pouch at the foot of the bed with more than a hundred silver taels inside.
"Mr., I can now cultivate too, rest assured, Qing Yu will definitely return soon!"
The last line of the note, with so dried marks, looked like traces left by tears after drying.
Seeing the last sentence of the note, Lu Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s good that Qing Yu left by her own decision.
Unexpectedly, Qing Yu had also begun cultivation, which was a good thing.
Previously, Lu Ye had checked Qing Yu’s potential, which was almost non-existent.
Now it seed like a blessing in disguise.
However, Qing Yu didn’t ntion where she went in the note.
Entering Qing Yu’s room, Lu Ye took a brief look, finding the setup quite simple.
Besides a bed, table, and chairs, there wasn’t even a vanity for won.
In the corner at the foot of the bed, Lu Ye indeed found a money pouch, containing nearly two hundred taels of silver.
Lu Ye rembered, he had previously given Qing Yu only a hundred taels for living expenses, yet she didn’t use it and even saved up an additional several dozen taels.
"This girl."
Looking at the pouch, Lu Ye sighed slightly.
Putting it into his Storage Ring, Lu Ye closed the room door again.
Just then, there was a sound outside, as if soone was approaching.
Seeing that the lock on the courtyard gate had been removed, indicating soone had opened the gate, the person outside knocked on it.
Opening the door, Lu Ye found it was Lv He, whom he’d t not long ago.
"What are you doing here?"
Recalling Lv He’s previous good relationship with Qing Yu, Lu Ye asked, "Right, Qing Yu isn’t ho, do you know where she went?"
