On the street.

Lu Ye didn't refuse Jiang Qingge's request, and still went out for a walk with her.

Leaving the Jiang Family, Jiang Qingge walked along until she arrived at the street where she had previously encountered the small vendor and later the assassination attempt.

There were still many vendors setting up stalls there.

"By the way, were you already at the Innate Realm back then?"

Jiang Qingge asked softly.

Back then... Lu Ye thought for a moment, he seemed not to be Innate yet, just in the Postnatal Realm.

However, regarding the realm matters, he couldn't say much, after all, his advancement speed was terrifyingly fast, enough to surpass any Northern Territory youth prodigy.

Seeing Lu Ye's tacit acknowledgment, Jiang Qingge felt a bit emotional. No wonder he cultivated so diligently.

"So, when the Jiang Family was invaded by a mysterious Innate, was it you who secretly helped to stop it?"

Jiang Qingge recalled another matter. It was already a year ago.

Back then, including Jiang Lianshan, many people were puzzled, wondering where their Jiang Family could find an Innate Realm person to help stop another Innate's intrusion.

Now knowing Lu Ye's strength, all the questions were easily resolved.

Lu Ye said calmly, "It was me."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingge felt even more guilty.

Since he was involved in this matter, then when she went to the Wang Family banquet and encountered the Five Poison Sect envoy, where Su Wan was outmatched... it was Lu Ye who helped secretly as well.

He had done so much behind the scenes, and yet she still got angry back then and treated Lu Ye that way... she was simply hateful.

A moment later, the two had already walked out of Cloud Leaf City.

"Where are you going?" Seeing that Jiang Qingge didn't seem to have a fixed destination, Lu Ye asked calmly.

"Just… over there." Jiang Qingge pointed to a small hill two miles outside the city.

With a somewhat puzzled glance at this woman, Lu Ye was unsure if the blood moon that could make the statue altar manifest might also have an effect on her.

So, did she come out tonight, choosing a place like this just to better feel the moonlight aura?

A few minutes later.

The two walked up the hill, and they could faintly hear some animal cries nearby. Lu Ye fell half a step behind, continuously watching Jiang Qingge's figure.

He was curious... when the moonlight falls later, would Jiang Qingge, who "absorbs" the moonlight power, suddenly transform?

After all, plenty of movies in his past life had scenes like this.

Just as Lu Ye expected.

After reaching the hilltop, Jiang Qingge first looked up at the night sky, and upon seeing the bright moon, a faint smile appeared.

That smile came from the heart after seeing the moon.

Jiang Qingge was unaware of Lu Ye's thoughts at this moment; she was considering what to do next.

The miscellaneous book mentioned that if the atmosphere was right, just courageously kiss him?

Jiang Qingge: "..."

Wouldn't that be too bold? She felt she didn't have the courage to do such a thing.

Turning to look, she found Lu Ye's gaze was constantly on her, with a slight peculiarity, as if… waiting for something.

Under the night sky, Jiang Qingge's face reddened slightly. Was he also waiting for her to kiss him?

Lu Ye, with keen eyesight, watched Jiang Qingge glance at the moonlight, his expression subtly changed.

"Is this... the moonlight starting to take effect?"

In Lu Ye's mind, scenes began to appear... Jiang Qingge unsealing herself and transforming into an unparalleled witch.

He didn't plan to stop it, after all, if Jiang Qingge could truly accumulate energy by absorbing moonlight, she would eventually emerge from her cocoon.

...

Meanwhile, under the night curtain, multiple figures were rushing toward Cloud Leaf City.

The Blood Evil Sect Leader this time only brought an Innate Fifth Layer elder; the rest remained in the Realm of Chaos to avoid any problems in the Blood Evil Sect.

The night posed almost no obstacles for the two, who swiftly kept on their way.

Behind, the Blood Evil Sect Innate Fifth Layer elder said, "Sect Leader, should we proceed cautiously this time? I specifically learned some things about the situation in Cloud Leaf City during the day."

"I heard there might be a Martial Arts Grandmaster hiding in the city!"

"I know that," the Blood Evil Sect Leader said, expression unchanged, coldly, "It's just a Broken River style, after reaching the Grandmaster Realm, Heaven and Earth Source Qi is at my disposal, it's a trivial matter, just that Postnatal and Innate revere it as a miracle, giving it high praise."

"Moreover, I'm not at the later stage of Grandmaster First Layer, but... at Grandmaster Second Layer!"

"In Cloud Leaf City, only he could wipe out the party of my nephew, such an upstart Grandmaster dares disregard my Blood Evil Sect like this."

"In that case, I will make him realize that there are always stronger people! Ascending to Martial Arts Grandmaster isn't enough to let him rampage through the Northern Territory."

"This lesson must be paid with his life."

This elder, a trusted member of the Blood Evil Sect, only recently learned that the Sect Leader had successfully ascended!

Deeply hidden indeed.

The Blood Evil Sect Innate Elder immediately congratulated him, "Sect Leader's divine might!"

...

Elsewhere, under the moonlit night, a noble and stunning palace-dressed woman was also on her way.

The Red Cloud Sect was closer to Cloud Leaf City, and the Red Cloud Fairy wore a calm expression, looking ahead, she pondered for a moment before leaping into a forest, setting up a Grandmaster Barrier with a wave of her hand.

Before emerging, her red palace attire vanished, replaced by all black, concealing her original form.

However, thinking how others' black disguises were usually flawless, whereas she...

The Red Cloud Fairy glanced down, frowning slightly... truly a nuisance.

This basically revealed the woman's identity, but there was no alternative; even binding her chest couldn't work.

"Never mind, in case the Cyan Thunder Sect Supreme Elder does come in person, with his strength, I'll inevitably expose the Red Cloud Sect's cultivation techniques..."

Moments later, the Red Cloud Fairy flew onward again.

...

On the hill, sitting on a rock, feeling the night breeze gently blowing, and the aura of Lu Ye next to her, Jiang Qingge couldn't help but feel a bit dazed.

Once, given their past relationship, she could never have imagined such a scene would happen tonight.

The moonlight on her body seemed a bit intoxicating, she felt a bit dizzy in her mind, and thinking of what she was about to do made Jiang Qingge a little nervous.

Taking a gentle breath, Jiang Qingge suddenly shouted, "Lu Ye..."

"Hmm?"

Lu Ye turned his head slightly puzzled, and saw Jiang Qingge's cheeks flushed red, was this… overwhelmed by the moonlight power?

The next moment, the dizziness in Jiang Qingge's mind intensified, she slightly closed her eyes, turned her head directly, and mustered up the courage to kiss Lu Ye.

In the distant sky, a figure swiftly sped across the heavens, flashing through the vast night sky in an instant.

As it reached the sky above the hill, a pair of authoritative eyes of the black-clad person suddenly narrowed.

"Sect disciple Lu Ye?"

"What are they doing?!"
