Ye Luo sat cross-legged in the Cave Mansion. Over the past few days, he had absorbed a vast amount of resources, and naturally, his realm had also advanced, finally reaching the third level of the Heavenly Martial Realm.

During these days, the entire Moonwater Tribe had returned to normal operations. Naturally, most of the chores were temporarily taken over by the Inner Sect Disciples.

No. 1 and No. 5, however, had been living quite comfortably these days.

Although they had the identity of menial servants, they were being protected by numerous tribe experts, something they never imagined even in their dreams.

With the Formation outside the Cave Mansion, these two had long put aside thoughts about the totem.

Ye Luo naturally paid them no mind. In the end, Ye Luo had no complex relationship with them.

On this day, No. 1 and No. 5 came to visit Ye Luo’s Cave Mansion again. They naturally understood that all of this was because of Ye Luo. If Ye Luo were to leave, all of this would disappear!

Moreover, with Ye Luo’s status, not to mention this Cave Mansion, even an Elder’s Cave Mansion wouldn’t be difficult to obtain.

Indeed, as long as Ye Luo wished, the Ice Princess would naturally present him with a luxurious Cave Mansion.

"Young Master Ye, your realm seems to have improved again!"

As soon as he entered, No. 1 asked in surprise.

Ye Luo smiled slightly, "Just made some progress, that’s all!"

In fact, upon reaching the Heavenly Martial Realm, each advancement in realm would bring a significant increase in strength. Of course, breaking the barrier to advance was incredibly difficult! Generally speaking, it would be normal to take decades to advance by one realm, and some cultivators stop at this realm for their entire lives, unable to break through again; this is what is known as talent.

A flash of envy passed through No. 1’s eyes. Although he was considered a genius within the tribe, there was still a notable gap compared to Ye Luo.

Of course, if he knew Ye Luo was hiding most of his strength, who knows what he would think.

"What brings you here this time?" Ye Luo asked.

Although he had a good impression of No. 1, he wasn’t inclined to chat much with him.

"Well, there isn’t anything important, just hoping you could offer some guidance. Of course, if you’re unwilling, we’ll pretend we never asked!" No. 1 suddenly said.

Ye Luo immediately understood; it seemed he had encountered a cultivation bottleneck and specifically came to inquire.

Not one to be unsympathetic, he nodded, "If you have any questions, just ask!"

No. 1’s eyes immediately lit up. Being quite astute, he promptly shared the doubts he encountered in cultivation.

The experience Ye Luo had in cultivation was unmatched, even compared to the Third Master!

After all, the Space-Time Channel couldn’t even be considered a complete interface.

Without much thought, Ye Luo began explaining his doubts, addressing not only his queries but also many related experiences.

It was no exaggeration to say that Ye Luo’s words could save him a lot of unnecessary efforts, sparing him several years of arduous cultivation.

Immediately, No. 1 stood up and respectfully bowed to Ye Luo.

"Thank you, Young Master, for resolving my doubts!"

He kept his head bowed for a long time without rising, signifying the magnitude of his internal shock.

Meanwhile, No. 5 beside him also gained significantly and followed suit to salute.

Just as Ye Luo was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed.

From outside came slight noises from the Guards.

No. 1 and No. 5 naturally noticed this as well, staring curiously outside the Cave Mansion.

"It’s people from Moonwater Palace!" No. 1 exclaimed in astonishment, standing up immediately, somewhat flustered.

Subsequently, Ye Luo saw a few elegantly dressed women walk in. Although named handmaidens, their demeanor and aura surpassed even the princesses of small families.

"Greetings, young masters!"

No. 1 and No. 5 hurriedly saluted, for these were genuine people from Moonwater Palace, unlike the guards outside.

However, these women didn’t even glance at the two.

Although their strength was not inferior to these maids, their status was worlds apart.

"Are you Ye Luo?"

One woman looked arrogantly at Ye Luo.

Moonwater Palace’s status in the Moonwater Tribe was akin to an ancient Imperial Palace. Even ordinary palace maids had standing far above the common folk when outside.

Moreover, these maids were certainly not ordinary, serving undoubtedly significant figures from the Moonwater Tribe.

Yet Ye Luo wasn’t impressed; after all, they were merely maids, attempting to flaunt the prestige of their masters was somewhat amateurish in his eyes.

"I am. Is there something you need?" Ye Luo asked calmly.

Upon hearing this, No. 1 and No. 5 looked at him in disbelief. These were people from Moonwater Palace; even though Ye Luo had a close relationship with the Third Princess, he couldn’t be this arrogant!

"How dare you! Why do you not bow?" The woman scolded angrily.

Ye Luo chuckled, "Why should I bow to you? It’s true I’m a servant, but you are also maids, and in terms of status within the tribe, we are equal!"

According to the tribal code, Ye Luo’s words held true; there was no rule requiring bowing to Moonwater Palace maids.

However, this had become an unwritten rule, whereby anyone from Moonwater Palace, be they maids or others, held unmatched status outside.

Not just servants, even Inner Sect Disciples were expected to bow upon meeting them.

"Very well, you truly have courage. Then come with us to the palace!" the maid snickered coldly.

Admittedly, her appearance was charming, especially with her air of grace, but her words rubbed Ye Luo the wrong way.

While she spoke, Ye Luo realized that someone from Moonwater Palace, probably the Third Princess, wanted to see him!

Evidently, these maids were unaware of his relationship with the Third Princess; otherwise, they wouldn’t dare address Ye Luo in such a manner.

After all, the Third Princess was one of the Twelve Protectors, and once the next Clan Leader succeeded, they would be promoted to Grand Elder, comparable even with True Disciples.

Ye Luo hadn’t seen the Third Princess for a few days, so it seemed fitting to meet her.

"Very well, I shall accompany you for a visit," he said, getting up without concern.

No. 1 and No. 5 showed signs of worry as Ye Luo might not be aware, but within the Moonwater Tribe, there was an unspoken rule that those summoned by Moonwater Palace rarely returned.

The outcome was quite predictable.

Hence, they assumed Ye Luo’s luck had run out, being selected as a sacrificial warrior by Moonwater Palace.
