This candlelit dinner, Jiang Qingge read in some book, is a way to foster an emotional connection between the two parties, like, um… watching the moon together?

Jiang Qingge nervously opened the food box, carefully taking out the delicacies inside.

She glanced up at the night sky and noticed the moon was visible tonight, letting out a sigh of relief.

Later, I'll find an opportunity to watch the moon!

I must arrange everything clearly with this person!

...

Meanwhile.

City Lord's Mansion.

When Wang Xingluo heard the news, he felt numb.

Cloud Leaf City… why is it Cloud Leaf City again?!

Once it becomes a focal point, it means many unstable factors will emerge.

In normal times, he, at the Innate Third Layer, could still play his role as the City Lord to maintain order.

But now...

Even if someone tears Cloud Leaf City apart, he, Wang Xingluo, at the Innate Third Layer Realm, has no power to resist!

At this moment, Wang Xingluo felt a slight sense of melancholy.

"Right, I'll go ask Elder Tian…"

Wang Xingluo suddenly thought that now Tian Qing was connected with a Martial Arts Grandmaster, so it might be a good time to test the waters a bit.

With this in mind, Wang Xingluo immediately left the City Lord's Mansion to find Tian Qing.

A moment later, Wang Xingluo arrived in front of Tian Qing's small courtyard.

"Elder Tian, hehe, I'm free and thought to come chat with you." Wang Xingluo said with a smile, looking at Tian Qing watering the flowers in the yard.

"Huh, Elder Tian… you've advanced?"

Suddenly, looking at Tian Qing, Wang Xingluo was a bit surprised. The Tian Qing before him was in a much better state than before, and his aura... was surprisingly at the Innate Third Layer Realm!

Now, aside from the Jiang Family Ancestor, who hasn't been seen for two years, all three major Innate experts in Cloud Leaf City are at the same realm.

"Hehe, just a bit of luck for an old man like me."

Tian Qing put down the watering can and smiled. He had been stuck at the Innate Second Layer Realm for many years.

But after agreeing to follow Lu Ye, Young Master Lu once rapidly demonstrated the Tian Family's Celestial Spirit Sword Technique in front of him.

There were many essential elements within it that Tian Qing had never grasped before.

A few days ago, Tian Qing finally practiced the Celestial Spirit Sword Technique to the Great Success Realm, and his cultivation, long stagnant, broke through at that moment.

Tian Qing immediately seized the opportunity to break through and finally advanced to the Innate Third Layer.

"Congratulations, Elder Tian, on your further advancement in cultivation." Wang Xingluo said with a tinge of curiosity: "But what about the Tian Family… Elder Tian, are you really not planning to go back?"

After thinking for a while, Tian Qing shook his head and sighed: "The Tian Family… is not the same as it used to be. I can only hope they don't go astray."

Since leaving the Tian Family, Tian Qing had no intention to meddle in its affairs anymore.

But Cloud Leaf City is only so big, and occasionally he would still run into some Tian Family members.

Having grown accustomed to the prestige of an Innate Clan, most Tian Family members carried a bit of arrogance when dealing with ordinary people.

This kind of attitude, if not met with strong opposition, is fine; if unfortunately met with such… the fall of the Tian Family might just be a matter of moments.

Most importantly, after leaving, Tian Qing realized… that some members of the Tian Family were advancing too quickly, and their auras seemed off.

If it's really as Tian Qing thought… then the Tian Family would indeed be doomed.

"By the way, Elder Tian, have you heard the recent news?" Wang Xingluo asked: "The Blood Evil Sect Leader is coming to Cloud Leaf City."

Upon hearing this, Tian Qing chuckled: "Let them come, perhaps after staying in the Realm of Chaos for too long, they want to go out for a walk."

Wang Xingluo, not a fool, immediately understood that since Elder Tian is so unbothered… it's highly likely there is a master behind him ready to intervene!

Moreover, it's very likely that the previous negotiations were on behalf of a grandmaster backing him!

At this moment, Wang Xingluo also smiled. If Elder Tian, as a party involved, wasn't worried, why should he be?

Simultaneously, he became even more curious about the master behind Tian Qing.

Who on earth… could it be?

...

In the small courtyard.

"Here, eat more of this, it's delicious," Jiang Qingge said mildly, picking a dish for Lu Ye with her chopsticks.

Lu Ye: "…"

If he didn't know her other identity, Lu Ye might not have felt anything.

But now knowing, seeing Jiang Qingge's actions seemed… quite odd.

These hands, in the past, must have always been hands of conflict, when would they have ever served someone food?

At this time, in the next courtyard, Jiang Lingyue was doing what she usually did, secretly hiding at the corner to listen to the commotion here.

Upon hearing her sister's gentle words, Jiang Lingyue lightly bit her teeth.

They seem so happy together… but Jiang Lingyue shouldn't be an outsider either!

Not to be the main one, at the very least… being a minor one should at least earn her a spot, right?

"I really want to join them…"

At this thought, Jiang Lingyue's face flushed slightly.

She couldn't imagine herself, her sister, and her brother-in-law together… that must be an unbearable sight.

Opposite, looking at Jiang Qingge with the demeanor of a gentle wife, Lu Ye fell into contemplation.

Is she really a villain?

She doesn't seem like one, perhaps by sealing her power, even her personality has drastically changed?

Just then, the Communication Jade in the Storage Ring sent a message.

Lu Ye took it out for a look; it was from Chen Lingxiang… Since only Chen Lingxiang could contact him using this item.

"I'm also heading to Cloud Leaf City, when we can't win the fight… let's flee together!"

"…"

This Chen Lingxiang is still thinking about this!

However, the fact that she was heading to Cloud Leaf City even without Lu Ye having a sure chance of victory was something Lu Ye had not expected.

"You should plan to escape first, Miss Lingxiang."

After replying with this sentence, Lu Ye put away the Communication Jade and met Jiang Qingge's slightly curious gaze.

"Did someone send you a message?"

"Yes, Miss Chen," Lu Ye nodded, not hiding anything.

He and Miss Chen, Chen Lingxiang, maintained a quite pure relationship, probably more of good friends.

Miss Chen?

Jiang Qingge's mind immediately conjured up the image of Chen Lingxiang, who was quite pretty...

It seems he's quite popular with the ladies.

However, Jiang Qingge wasn't too worried.

After all, having a solid identity is the greatest advantage!

She, Jiang Qingge… wasn't without a bit of fighting power herself!

Tonight, watch the moon, next week watch the stars, next month watch…

"Are you full?"

Lost in thought, when she saw Lu Ye put down his chopsticks, Jiang Qingge immediately stood up to clear the table.

"Let the maids do that," Lu Ye said, watching the scene.

"It's fine, I've been sitting too long, moving is good," she replied.

A moment later, Jiang Qingge said with a touch of hope: "Well… do you have some time? Shall we go out for a walk?"
