The mont Jiang Lingyue thought of this possibility, she imdiately got excited.
This ant that Lu Ye was very likely in Cloud Leaf City!
So, in the following days, Jiang Lingyue began to diligently keep watch in the area near the outskirts of Cloud Leaf City.
...
...
Finally, two more days passed.
At this mont, Lu Ye was practicing his skills in a deserted area outside the city.
After advancing to the Innate Seventh Layer, a typical Innate Seventh Layer could control a range of about five hundred ters, while the Ancient Star Scripture could effortlessly absorb the Heaven and Earth Source Qi within a thousand-ter radius.
The environnt within the city clearly didn’t allow him to absorb Source Qi on such a large scale.
Therefore, in recent days, Lu Ye had set his place of cultivation in remote, uninhabited valleys or deep forests.
After a long while, feeling a bit more of the Innate True Qi filling his body again, Lu Ye was slightly satisfied. After finishing his practice, he returned to the courtyard in the city.
As he passed through an alley, preparing to return to the yard behind it, his eyebrows raised slightly.
At the corner of the alley, Jiang Lingyue’s slender figure slowly appeared at the other end.
Looking at Lu Ye, whom she hadn’t seen for about half a month, Jiang Lingyue’s eyes gradually reddened.
"Bro... Lu Ye, if you were going to leave, why didn’t you tell ?"
The familiar na was about to slip out, but for so reason, Jiang Lingyue resisted it and directly called Lu Ye by his na instead.
Seeing that Jiang Lingyue had noticeably slimd down, Lu Ye slightly frowned: "Are you sick?"
Wasn’t this girl at the Condensing Origin Ninth Layer? Her physique is much stronger than an ordinary person’s, how could she be sick?
Could it be... she’s poisoned?
With this guess flashing through his mind, Lu Ye’s expression instantly beca serious. He swiftly appeared in front of Jiang Lingyue and took her pulse, subtly invading with a strand of Innate True Qi.
Now possessing a Poison-Immune Body, Lu Ye was very sensitive to poison.
If there were poison, this examination would reveal it.
But the result left Lu Ye sowhat puzzled.
Jiang Lingyue... was not poisoned.
"You’re not poisoned, why are you sick then?"
Feeling the suddenly appearing Lu Ye beside her, slling the familiar scent, the suppressed emotions of the past half a month finally overwheld Jiang Lingyue. She suddenly reached out and tightly hugged Lu Ye.
"Lu Ye... I missed you so much!"
Lu Ye: "..."
Looking at Jiang Lingyue, who was holding him tightly, Lu Ye asked, "Loosen up first... how did you find ?"
"I’ve been looking for you every day. A few days ago, while resting at a nearby teahouse, I thought I saw your back."
Jiang Lingyue, with slightly reddened eyes, said, "But when I went to look, you were gone again."
"I had no choice but to look around the area every day."
She raised her head, staring at Lu Ye’s face, and said sowhat aggrievedly, "Why didn’t you let know? If you told , I wouldn’t have told anyone else."
"..."
Tightly holding onto Lu Ye with one arm, a sweet smile appeared on Jiang Lingyue’s thin face: "Lu Ye, I finally found you... it’s so good!"
A mont later, looking at Jiang Lingyue, who was following him like a small tail, Lu Ye felt a headache coming on.
"Why don’t you go ho? Why are you following ?"
"I haven’t seen you for so long, I want to look at you more." Jiang Lingyue blinked her eyes and said without hesitation.
With things said to this extent, Lu Ye didn’t say much more and walked into the courtyard.
Jiang Lingyue followed him in, imdiately exclaiming: "Wow, it’s arranged so well."
At this ti, it was close to noon, and Qing Yu was cooking.
Carrying out a dish, she was surprised to see Jiang Lingyue, whose face was pale: "Second Miss?"
"Qing Yu, you also ca with him, no wonder." Jiang Lingyue felt even more aggrieved.
Even Qing Yu had co, yet she didn’t even know where Lu Ye had gone.
During the al, Jiang Lingyue deliberately filled a big bowl full with rice.
"Stinky Lu Ye, I’ll eat you poor!" Jiang Lingyue muttered fiercely in her heart.
Lu Ye didn’t know what she was muttering while eating. If he knew, he would probably just smile faintly.
Never mind ordinary als, nowadays even if it were perfect rice with fierce beast at every al, to Lu Ye, it would be just a small taste.
Jiang Lingyue ate a full two bowls, more than she had eaten in the past few days combined.
Later, she was so stuffed that she couldn’t walk, making Lu Ye couldn’t help but laugh.
"What, didn’t the Jiang Family give you food?"
Jiang Lingyue’s face flushed red.
It wasn’t until the afternoon that Jiang Lingyue reluctantly left.
But what Lu Ye didn’t expect was that before half an hour had passed, near dusk, Jiang Lingyue returned in a changed dress.
"Lu Ye, surprise! I’ve co again!"
Lu Ye remained expressionless: "Not surprised, you ate too much."
"..."
Jiang Lingyue muttered, "So an, just teases . I’ve been hungry for several days, only ate this much."
Lu Ye said lightly, "Didn’t you go ho? Why are you here again?"
"I told my family that I won’t be going back for the next few days, I’ll stay outside."
Lu Ye sat in the room, pretending to be puzzled: "You’re not going back, are you staying at an inn?"
Looking wistfully at Lu Ye’s face, Jiang Lingyue suddenly turned around and closed the door.
Then, she walked up to Lu Ye, looking directly into his eyes.
"Lu Ye... do I have to say it so clearly?"
"Call brother-in-law."
"I won’t! You’re just Lu Ye!" Jiang Lingyue mustered up courage, her voice trembling a bit: "Lu Ye... I, I like you!"
Looking into Jiang Lingyue’s passionate and sincere eyes, Lu Ye sighed softly in his heart.
He wasn’t a fool.
In the past year, he had noticed the gradual change in Jiang Lingyue’s attitude towards him.
The reason why he chose to leave without saying goodbye also had sothing to do with this.
Originally, he thought after he left, maybe waiting three to five months, Jiang Lingyue would calm down and everything would go back to normal.
Unexpectedly, she persisted in looking for him for over half a month.
Seeing that Lu Ye didn’t speak, a slight hint of disappointnt flashed in Jiang Lingyue’s eyes.
Then she continued to muster up courage: "Can... can I hug you?"
As the words fell, she hugged Lu Ye again, murmuring softly.
"You don’t know, hearing about your departure, I suddenly felt very upset, couldn’t eat, couldn’t sleep..."
"At that ti, I realized, I... I must have liked you."
"But Lu Ye, don’t worry, I won’t cause you any trouble. If you want to stay, I’ll stay. If you want to leave, I’ll leave."
Pausing, Jiang Lingyue bit her lip, whispered: "Also, don’t worry, I won’t stop you from finding other sisters, I’m young and ignorant, being a concubine is enough."
Listening to Jiang Lingyue’s heartfelt words, Lu Ye felt a hint of amusent rise within him.
