Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law-Chapter 288 - 286: Jiang Qingge: So, Was This Arranged by Lu Ye? If He Cares About Me, Why Doesn’t He Say So...
After thinking it over carefully, Jiang Qingge could only nod helplessly and say.
"Then thank you very much, Miss Youluo, but don’t set the price too low, otherwise, I really won’t want it next time."
Upon hearing this, Youluo laughed and said.
"Don’t worry, Miss Qingge, when I do business with others, I absolutely won’t make deals that lose money."
Soon, Youluo added a line in her heart...
"Of course, when doing business with you and my master’s husband, it doesn’t matter whether it loses or gains, as we’re all on the same side."
After receiving the silver notes, Youluo laughed playfully and said.
"I won’t disturb Miss Qingge’s cultivation any longer, I’ll take my leave."
Ever since helping Jiang Qingge test the master’s husband, every time Youluo saw the master, she felt somewhat guilty.
Therefore, after delivering the resources, she immediately slipped away.
"Take care, Miss Youluo."
Watching Youluo leave, Jiang Qingge had a feeling.
This Miss Ji Youluo was probably here just to deliver cultivation resources to her.
She questioned herself whether her relationship with Ji Youluo had reached such a level of concern.
So, perhaps the matter of resources was entrusted by someone else, maybe... Lu Ye?
At this thought, Lu Ye’s face involuntarily appeared in Jiang Qingge’s mind.
Thinking about it, it’s been about a month since he left the Jiang Family.
"He only said he wanted to go out, without saying where to."
Looking at the pile of resources that appeared on the stone table in the yard, Jiang Qingge slightly bit her lip.
Obviously, he cares about her, but why does he never express it in front of her?
Quietly raising her head to look at the sky, Jiang Qingge also felt a sense of urgency.
Turning around, she once again entered the practice room, planning to quickly digest this batch of resources.
...
Inside the Red Cloud Sect.
At this moment, with Lu Ye consecutively completing two Ten-Star tasks.
The disciples who initially thought Lu Ye had some luck in the first Ten-Star task, quickly changed their opinion.
In one Ten-Star task, there might be some element of luck involved.
Completing two in succession is far beyond mere luck.
In the Black Tide Forbidden Land, even entering the depths is a different story.
Even in the outer or central regions, there aren’t many disciples in the Red Cloud Sect who dare to go alone.
After all, the Beast King does not necessarily stay only in the depths.
If by chance they encounter a Beast King on the outskirts... it’s certainly possible to be killed instantly.
Nowadays, within the Red Cloud Sect, at least eighty to ninety percent believe Lu Xuan is the foremost true disciple of the Red Cloud Sect.
Even Su Wan herself, completely acknowledges the name of Lu Xuan.
On Sect Leader Peak, at the summit.
Since that night drinking under the moon a few days ago.
In recent days, the Red Cloud Fairy had not actively sought out Lu Ye.
However, today approaching the afternoon, Red Cloud still came.
"You have now become a model for the disciples of my Red Cloud Sect."
When Red Cloud said these words, the regret in her eyes was unmistakable.
"The Red Cloud Sect’s foundation is here; the Sect Leader need not worry too much. It is predictable that the sect will thrive." Lu Ye said lightly.
"You can say that to comfort my heart." Red Cloud said, her expression suddenly serious, and spoke.
"Today, I came to find you because I have something to tell you."
"Cyan Thunder Sect... is having problems!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Ye’s expression tightened and asked, "What kind of problems?"
"To be precise, it’s within a thousand miles around Cyan Thunder Sect that there’s trouble. Originally, in this range, there existed three or four small forces, which in recent days were swiftly eliminated."
Red Cloud slightly narrowed her eyes, "I suspect there is some evil influence acting covertly."
Lu Ye asked, "The Five Poison Sect or the Three Yin Sect?"
"No...not only." The Red Cloud Fairy said, "I suspect that Cyan Thunder Sect... might also be involved."
This answer surprised Lu Ye.
After thinking for a moment, he revealed a hint of doubt, "Although Cyan Thunder Sect has some methods that aren’t honorable, it’s still one of the Righteous Dao forces, and was once one of the Three Great Sects of the Northern Territory. How could this be?"
Red Cloud shook her head, "Of course, this matter cannot be completely confirmed, it’s just that among the information I received from my spies, the wounds of the deceased from those small forces faintly show traces of Cyan Thunder Sect’s cultivation technique."
"As for what you mentioned about the Three Great Sects of the Northern Territory, that’s in the past. People... do change." The Red Cloud Fairy said meaningfully.
Regarding these words, Lu Ye somewhat agreed.
All things in this world are not unchangeable.
"I know you also have past grievances with Cyan Thunder Sect." Red Cloud looked at him and said, "If you indeed go to Cyan Thunder Sect, remember to keep a vigilant eye."
After pondering for a moment, Lu Ye rarely cupped his hands toward the Red Cloud Fairy and said.
"Thank you for your warning."
"No need for thanks, your presence with the Red Cloud Sect has actually provided a positive stimulus." Waving her hand, Red Cloud seemed unwilling to stay longer in his cave mansion, turned, and left.
"I... shall leave."
Watching the Red Cloud Fairy leave, Lu Ye squinted his eyes and fell into contemplation.
The matter of Cyan Thunder Sect, he naturally won’t hastily venture there now.
He’ll wait until he reaches Grandmaster, when his strength transforms, and then go later.
"Grandmaster... soon."
Reflecting back on the infiltration of the Five Poison Sect earlier, Lu Ye felt it was a pity.
If he were a Grandmaster, that extraordinary opportunity to attack during the infiltration of the Five Poison Sect.
With a swift use of the Small Success Illusory Destruction Yin Yang Finger, the Five Poison Sect Leader at that time would have been either dead or severely injured.
No more moments of ease would be afforded to him.
...
Quickly, a few days passed again.
In Cloud Leaf City, through her diligent cultivation recently, coupled with the continuous supply of resources, Jiang Qingge successfully advanced to the Postnatal Third Layer.
Meanwhile.
Jiang Lingyue followed Su Liuying and finally arrived outside a colossal city.
"Is this Danling City of the Northern Territory? How lively... And huge! At least four or five times bigger than Cloud Leaf City."
Watching the vast city sprawling on the horizon, Jiang Lingyue’s eyes were full of curiosity.
Moreover, both inside and outside Danling City were bustling, with silhouettes constantly arriving and departing from the city in all directions.
Seeing the curious expression on the girl next to her, Su Liuying smiled and said.
"Danling City can be said to be the most bustling city in the Northern Territory, with countless cultivators coming to the city daily to seek elixirs."
"And the alchemy masters residing in the city exceed a thousand."
Hearing that so many alchemy masters were stationed here, Jiang Lingyue’s rosy little mouth opened wide, almost enough to fit an egg.
"Let’s go, enter the city." Su Liuying said lightly.
...
Meanwhile, inside the Red Cloud Sect.
Looking at the Communication Jade Token in hand, Lu Ye surprisingly received a message from Jiang Qingge.
After receiving it, he found that she was asking when he would return.
Thinking it over, Lu Ye did not specify a time but only said it would be soon.
After all, tomorrow after taking the last Ten-Star and completing the final task.
He still needed to go to the Sect Secret Realm of the Red Cloud Sect, unsure of how long he would spend inside.
Therefore, he couldn’t give an accurate answer.
However, although the reply was vague, Jiang Qingge was still somewhat happy to receive it.
Receiving a reply was better than when he used to ignore her.
As the night finally passed, a new week began, and the third Ten-Star task was released right on time.
Early the next morning.
Lu Ye turned around to look at the True Disciple’s Cave Mansion, where he had stayed for almost a month, then turned around and left.
Directly descending the mountain to head to the Task Hall.
After Lu Ye went down the mountain, a figure dressed in a red long skirt quietly appeared.
Gazing at the distant back, utterly silent.
