Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law-Chapter 278 - 276: Does Sister Not Want to Break Off the Engagement? What Did Jiang Lingyue Eat? Ten-Star Task Refreshed!
As they spoke, Jiang Lingyue, looking somewhat like she was presenting a treasure, extended one hand, and in an instant...
Boom!
A cluster of pill fire bloomed from her hand, flickering as waves of heat emanated from it.
Seeing the pill fire summoned with merely a gesture, Lu Ye seemed thoughtful; it looked like... she really could practice alchemy.
Unexpectedly, although this girl’s cultivation talent wasn’t outstanding, she shone in other areas.
Withdrawing the pill fire, Jiang Lingyue’s eyes darted around as she leaned close to Lu Ye and whispered.
"You’re so bad... I want to defeat you and make you admit defeat!"
Since advancing to the Postnatal Realm, she felt her strength and endurance had improved a lot.
Jiang Lingyue refused to believe that, after countless defeats, she couldn’t win just once?
Even those who lose many times still have some consolation prizes, right?
With an odd smile, Lu Ye chuckled and said, "Just in time, I also have a finger technique."
Seeing this rascal showing a hint of weirdness, Jiang Lingyue instinctively felt something was off.
But she’d already spoken, so how could she fear Lu Ye?
She acknowledged Lu Ye was strong, having repelled an Innate Realm opponent three years ago.
But... wouldn’t he still be supporting his waist when he comes out later!
...
Red Cloud Sect.
Inside the great hall, the discussion was nearing its end.
Red Cloud Sect had already anticipated the intentions of these forces.
Not only did these forces hope to receive Red Cloud Sect’s affirmation of mutual support in times of crisis, but Red Cloud Sect itself was also pleased to see the Northern Righteous Dao unite.
Thus, with both sides quickly reaching an agreement, the discussions went very smoothly, and each force promised mutual support in times of need.
"If that is the case, let’s finalize it. The Northern Righteous Dao is in decline now, and only by uniting can we avoid being defeated one by one by the Five Poison and Three Yin," the Red Cloud Fairy concluded decisively.
"The Red Cloud Sect Leader speaks wisely; the Evil Dao forces are rampant, and we will need to rely on mutual assistance,"
"Well said, well said..."
After finishing the discussion on the alliance, the conversation naturally shifted to the new disciple taken in by Red Cloud Fairy, with everyone offering no shortage of praises.
Red Cloud Fairy felt somewhat helpless, as that person had disappeared since the ceremony...
"By the way, there have been rumors in recent days that the Five Poison Sect Leader has advanced to Grandmaster. Red Cloud Sect Leader, what do you think is the likelihood of this?" asked the leading elder from Wuxiang Sect.
With this statement, the other elders, vice sect leaders, and others in the hall were all solemn.
The gap between a Martial Arts Grandmaster Ninth Layer and a Grandmaster... is still too vast!
If cursing in their hearts had any effect, many would hope that the Five Poison Sect Leader would never be able to break through.
Red Cloud Fairy pondered for a moment, recalling what Lu Xuan had told her...
To Red Cloud Fairy, he had no reason to deceive her.
So, she declared firmly, "I have also received the news, and it is absolutely true."
For a moment, the previously skeptical forces were shocked in their hearts.
If even the Red Cloud Sect Leader used the phrase "absolutely true," it meant the credibility was incredibly high.
...
Meanwhile, elsewhere, more than an hour later.
In a thatched hut in the mountains, Jiang Lingyue buried her head, unable to lift her head at all.
Lu Ye smiled and patted Jiang Lingyue’s head, saying, "Isn’t this the young genius alchemist from Wuxiang Sect, acting like an ostrich?"
Suddenly, Jiang Lingyue lifted her head and said, "Brother-in-law, is my sister unwilling to break off the engagement with you?"
Lu Ye raised an eyebrow and said, "Why do you ask?"
Thinking for a moment, Jiang Lingyue said, "I could sense it; last time, when I asked my sister about this, she didn’t directly answer the question."
"Alas, sister is actually quite pitiful. As the sister, when at home, besides having to look after the family business from time to time, she also has to take care of me."
"Perhaps..." Jiang Lingyue blinked and said hesitantly, "Perhaps you should just take sister as well?"
If her sister really didn’t want to break off the engagement, she didn’t want her to remain in a difficult situation.
"You should worry about your own affairs. Your sister will handle her matters," Lu Ye said calmly.
After contemplating for a moment, Lu Ye said, "Later I’ll teach you a stepping technique and a swordsmanship. Remember them well and practice diligently when you return." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Since Jiang Lingyue’s talent lies in alchemy, Lu Ye decided to teach her the first transformation of the Wandering Dragon Four-Pole Transformation after splitting it.
This would give her some self-defense capability in body technique.
He also taught her the first sword of the Heaven-Defying Three Swords as a trump card.
These two techniques would be enough for her to ponder for a long time.
In this way, she could be both defensive and offensive.
"Mmm... okay!"
About ten minutes later, the two of them left this secluded mountain hut one after another.
...
After the discussions ended, the other forces didn’t linger in Red Cloud Sect and took their leave.
At a corner of the Sect Plaza, Yu Yu was so anxious she was nearly pacing back and forth; where did Junior Sister Jiang go, and why hadn’t she returned yet.
After a while, she finally saw a familiar figure climbing the ninety-nine steps of the plaza.
"My Junior Sister Jiang, where on earth have you been? Why are you only just returning now?"
Yu Yu quickly dashed over and whispered, "The sect elders have finished their matters and are assembling the disciples to return to the sect. If you’re any later, you’ll miss it."
"What? Then let’s hurry over," Jiang Lingyue was shocked upon hearing this.
She hadn’t expected that their meeting would take up so much time.
She nearly missed the flying boat back to the sect; if she went back on her own, it would take several days.
"Huh, what’s that smell?" Yu Yu stood opposite Jiang Lingyue and asked with slight puzzlement, "What did you eat?"
Jiang Lingyue blushed slightly, as if she’d thought of something, and replied, "I ate a bit of... Senior Sister, let’s hurry, or we’ll miss it."
Hearing this, Yu Yu, although still puzzled, didn’t inquire further and hurriedly led Jiang Lingyue toward the gathering place of the disciples of Wuxiang Sect.
Moments later, the flying boat belonging to Wuxiang Sect soared into the sky...
...
Atop the mountain, Lu Ye, having returned to his cave abode, transformed back into Lu Xuan.
"Tomorrow is the second update for the Ten-Star Task... I wonder what the task will be."
After pondering for a moment, Lu Ye continued taking out the Source Crystal on him, sitting cross-legged for cultivation; Source Qi gathered in an instant.
Early the next morning, Red Cloud Sect, with all the other forces gone, returned to its usual state.
At this time, a group of disciples was eagerly awaiting in the plaza in front of the Task Hall.
Today, there would be new Ten-Star Tasks refreshed! They were extremely curious whether Lu Xuan, who had become famous as soon as he entered the sect, would...
accept it!
