Chapter 505: Chapter 503: Joined the Celestial Palace? Xiao Qingyin: After so long, I should have let go!

Ultimately, this item was inevitably discovered by others for its true value, and fetched a high price... and was taken away.

At this moment, Xiao Qingyin heard Lu Ye talk about joining the Celestial Palace, and her mood was almost the same.

"The Celestial Palace is indeed a good place. With your talent, you’d be well-acknowledged and put to great use even in the Celestial Palace."

Coming back to reality, Xiao Qingyin let out a long sigh and revealed a relieved smile.

So much time has passed... it should have been let go of already.

She thought so in her heart.

"Thank you, I hope so." Lu Ye smiled faintly and said, "And you haven’t returned to the Red Cloud Sect since then?"

"No, a place of heartbreak, it’s best not to go back." Xiao Qingyin sighed and said, "Going back makes it easy to overthink things."

After successfully advancing to the Mortal Realm Grandmaster, she initially had the thought of going back to have a look.

However...

She ultimately stopped at the foot of the Red Cloud Sect mountain, not going up.

Lu Ye chuckled and said, "If you don’t go back to check, can you truly put your mind at ease about your disciple?"

"Ultimately, she has to rely on herself to walk the path of cultivation; she has her own future." Xiao Qingyin said.

That was true.

Lu Ye didn’t expect that in some aspects, Xiao Qingyin was quite clear-headed.

Originally thought, with her personality, she would be the type to try to control everything, including her disciple’s future plans.

He had seen many people with such strong desires for control before.

The fire crackled as they chatted for a while, and Xiao Qingyin stopped disturbing him, letting Lu Ye go to cultivate.

The night passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was midnight, with only the sound of burning wood remaining between heaven and earth.

At that moment, some faint noises suddenly came from far away.

And as time passed, they came closer to this side.

Moments later, a contingent appeared at the end of the road, with a somewhat arrogant-looking man in the center, protected by guards around him.

Upon seeing a campfire by the roadside with someone spending the night, the man’s eyes swept over.

Upon seeing Lu Ye sitting by the side, he directly overlooked him.

But in the next moment, upon seeing Xiao Qingyin not far away, the man’s eyes suddenly brightened.

Xiao Qingyin’s appearance was also extremely outstanding, but back then in the Northern Territory, intimidated by the Red Cloud Sect Leader’s renowned name, few dared to discuss the appearance of top sect leaders.

At this moment, the man was directly attracted to Xiao Qingyin, making the advancing team stop as he jumped off his horse.

"The night is late, why would a young lady be in the wilderness? It’s too dangerous."

He approached the campfire and spoke, his eyes fixated on Xiao Qingyin, never moving away.

Xiao Qingyin slightly frowned and lifted her head, glancing at the man without speaking.

But she did not disguise the coldness emanating from her body.

If he were a sensible person, upon seeing this situation, he would surely take his leave on his own.

Unexpectedly, the man showed no intention of leaving, instead directly stating, "If the young lady is agreeable, you may travel with us, ensuring absolute safety throughout the journey."

"No, thank you. I’m fine staying here overnight." Xiao Qingyin frowned.

A trace of sharp light flashed in the eyes of the man in lavish attire as his voice turned cold, "In the middle of the night, the wilderness is extremely dangerous. I’m considering it for your sake, young lady."

"Men, invite the young lady to mount the horse."

Upon his command, two guards with Postnatal Ninth Layer cultivation stepped forward.

Since they were resting, Lu Ye and Xiao Qingyin naturally didn’t have any intention to actively reveal their cultivation realms.

Thus, they appeared to be ordinary people camping overnight in the wilderness.

Of course, the man in lavish clothing knew that these two were no ordinary people, but...

Judging by Lu Ye and Xiao Qingyin’s appearances, they looked young, and even if they were Postnatal or even Innate, or Martial Arts Grandmasters... so what?

In his contingent, his personal bodyguard Elder Liu was a Martial Arts Grandmaster!

There were several people in his Yuan Family who surpassed Martial Arts Grandmasters, even reaching Mortal Realm!

What does it mean to be a Yuan Province Grandmaster Clan?

In the vast Yuan Province, there were only three such families!

Thus, the man in lavish attire acted wantonly and recklessly.

Xiao Qingyin indeed piqued his interest. She seemed to have a certain subtle allure that was more captivating than any woman he had seen before.

Seeing that they were directly planning to use force, Xiao Qingyin almost laughed out of anger.

In the Northern Territory, she had never encountered such a thing before. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived in Yuan Province, she encountered this; it truly deserves its reputation as a larger province area.

In the next moment, Xiao Qingyin’s face turned icy; with a wave of her single hand, the two Postnatal Realm guards were sent flying, instantly unconscious.

Seeing this, the man in lavish attire’s pupils slightly contracted, realizing that being able to injury two Postnatal Realm guards means this person...

Really is in the Innate Realm?!

But, Innate Realm is even better!

He believed that when the time came, it would be even more amusing!

The man in lavish attire liked those who initially resisted but after learning about his background, they would one by one fawn over him.

"Elder Liu, I entrust this to you." Facing Xiao Qingyin whose face bore frost, the man in lavish attire coldly chuckled, saying, "Young lady, you have some skills, but... it’s not enough."

With the man’s words, an elder stepped out from the team.

"I advise you, it would be wise to recognize reality early on. Our Young Master would not treat you poorly," Elder Liu said while stepping out, glancing at Xiao Qingyin, and then at the silent Lu Ye, "As for the man beside you, he hasn’t dared to make a sound until now, he doesn’t compare to our Young Master at all."

It must be said, ginger becomes spicier as it ages.

This Elder Liu, possessing the Grandmaster Realm, not only advised Xiao Qingyin but also attempted to demean Lu Ye, who hadn’t spoken yet, as worthless.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye, sitting by the fire, did indeed have a somewhat strange expression.

This Martial Arts Grandmaster Seventh Layer elder...how bold!

Sure enough, when people grow older, they forget what the word death means.

"Why do you, as an elder aiding and abetting wickedness, have so much to say?" Lu Ye remarked, having no intention of taking action.

Currently, Xiao Qingyin seemed to have bottled up anger, so this was an opportunity for her to vent.

Elder Liu’s face suddenly turned somber: "Indeed, a young brat; compared to our Young Master, it’s like the ants on the ground compared to the moon in the sky."

Hearing his Grandmaster guard having such keen vision at this time to praise him, the man in lavish attire appropriately took out a folding fan, gently waving it under the moonlight.
