In the wilderness at midnight, dressed in black, Red Cloud Fairy astonishingly saw...
The disciple Lu Ye, whom she personally ordered to be sent for an arranged marriage earlier.
Was actually with a stunningly beautiful, slightly shy woman doing such a thing...
How disgraceful!
Just as Red Cloud Fairy soared through the sky to this Celestial Realm over Cloud Leaf City, Lu Ye, a Martial Arts Grandmaster Fourth Layer, immediately sensed it.
At this moment, Jiang Qingge's incredibly soft lips had quietly kissed him.
But before Lu Ye could push her away, the dizziness in Jiang Qingge's mind finally overwhelmed her, and she collapsed beside Lu Ye.
Lu Ye was somewhat helpless, then turned his gaze to the night sky...
Above, a person in black, dressed as a night traveler, was staring at him.
With just one glance, Lu Ye realized it was a woman, and... very strong!
This aura seemed a bit familiar.
In the Northern Territory, there shouldn't be many women with such cultivation.
In an instant, Lu Ye already figured out who the black-clad woman standing in the night sky was.
Red Cloud Sect Leader!
Why did she come to Cloud Leaf City?
After pondering for a moment, Lu Ye thought, could it be that she was drawn here by the Blood Evil Sect Leader emerging from the Realm of Chaos?
After all, the intelligence network of the Three Great Sects is far more efficient than other forces, and news like this might already be on their tables before others even know.
After leaving the sect, seeing Red Cloud Fairy again, this should be the third time.
The first time was in the Black Valley Secret Realm, the second under Yinmang Mountain.
The third time, outside Cloud Leaf City.
During these three times, Lu Ye's strength had changed considerably.
During the first reunion, he was striving to break through Martial Arts Grandmaster, eventually succeeding in the secret realm, gaining fame across the Northern Territory.
Now, as times change, there's only a slight gap between him and this first female cultivator in the Northern Territory, the Red Cloud Sect Leader.
Since Red Cloud Fairy covered herself in black, naturally she didn't want others to recognize her, Lu Ye also chose not to expose her, pretending not to know her, and withdrew his gaze.
Unexpectedly, the Red Cloud Fairy spoke voluntarily.
"Are you Lu Ye, disciple of the Red Cloud Sect?"
Lu Ye frowned slightly and said indifferently, "I am Lu Ye, but... not a disciple of the Red Cloud Sect."
When the sect sent him out for the arranged marriage, he was no longer a disciple of the Red Cloud Sect.
In the night sky, Red Cloud Fairy's eyebrows slightly furrowed as she said clearly, "Why are you not? The record of your entry into the sect is still preserved at the Red Cloud Sect, clearly documented."
"Lu Ye, do you know who I am?"
On the hillside, Lu Ye said calmly, "I don't know."
Red Cloud Fairy clasped her hands behind her back and said indifferently, "I am Red Cloud."
Originally, Red Cloud Fairy thought that once she revealed her name, given Lu Ye's identity and strength, he would inevitably feel some trepidation.
His previous words would be admitted as misspoken.
After all, for the Northern Territory, the Red Cloud Sect is a protective talisman.
And his status as a disciple... seemed they had promoted him to Inner Sect.
If he wanted to claim benefits from the sect that belonged to Inner Sect disciples, the sect would still provide them.
"So, you're the Red Cloud Sect Leader, I've long admired your name." Lu Ye glanced up at the black silhouette in the sky, still indifferent.
This made Red Cloud Fairy's frown deepen; Lu Ye's reaction was not what a promoted servant disciple should have.
Within the sect, Red Cloud held high prestige, even Su Wan, a core disciple, who was highly valued, dared not speak to her with such disregard.
"Since you know who I am, why haven't you paid respects upon hearing?" Red Cloud Fairy descended slowly, her eyes swept over Lu Ye with a trace of subtle authority.
"Having left the sect for only two years, have you even lost the respect for me?"
Her gaze passed over Lu Ye's body, landing on the unconscious lady in the white dress beside him, Red Cloud Fairy spoke, "It seems this is the Eldest Miss Jiang from the arranged marriage they sought for you."
Turning back to Lu Ye, though Red Cloud Fairy didn't speak, her meaning was clear: With such a beautiful wife, what could you be dissatisfied with?
Now you even claim not to be part of the Red Cloud Sect.
"Red Cloud Sect Leader, if you have matters to attend to, go ahead, don't waste time." Lu Ye shook his head.
Red Cloud Fairy: "?"
Did she hear wrong?
The disciple of the Red Cloud Sect in front of her was actually... urging her to leave?
Even speaking bluntly, is he telling her to leave?
Why, did he blame her for interrupting his good deed?
Performing such... deeds in the wilderness, does he not feel ashamed?
Originally, she didn't plan to say much to Lu Ye, but upon hearing him willingly asking her to leave, Red Cloud Fairy instead stood still and simply found a boulder to sit on.
"I can hear a faint resentment in your voice."
"Is this marriage not to your liking?"
Pausing, Red Cloud Fairy glanced at the unconscious Eldest Miss Jiang, and said indifferently, "If it's not to your liking, why indeed, in the middle of the night, did you engage in such deed with the young lady..."
What deed?
Lu Ye felt a bit helpless, it was just Jiang Qingge suddenly kissing him, how did it sound from this Red Cloud Sect Leader's mouth... like he was engaging in some wild dance.
"Whether I like it or not, it seems irrelevant to the Red Cloud Sect Leader; you have many affairs to attend to, sect matters are complex, it's better not to expend your energy on insignificant matters like this."
Upon hearing this, Red Cloud Fairy's eyes turned cold and she said coldly, "Lu Ye, do you know... it has been many years since anyone dared to speak to me like this."
Since she took over the Red Cloud Sect, especially after advancing to Martial Arts Grandmaster, for over twenty years, no one dared to disrespect her!
Looking at Lu Ye for two seconds, Red Cloud Fairy said, "Considering you're somewhat aggrieved, this time... I will pretend I didn't hear it, but don't repeat it."
As for why Lu Ye seemed to have faint resentment, Red Cloud Fairy could think of a few reasons.
Back then, the loose-lipped Inner Sect disciple Wu De revealed the true status of Lu Ye being a servant disciple, making him likely suffer quite a cold treatment within the Jiang Family.
This point was also reported by lenses planted in the Jiang Family.
Ultimately, it's normal for a young man in his twenties to harbor some resentment.
Lu Ye made no comment.
"You're in Cloud Leaf City now; this time, the city will experience some changes. If unnecessary, it'd be best not to leave the city lightly."
Red Cloud Fairy stood up and said indifferently, "Given your Postnatal Realm strength, the slightest residual wave from those attacks wouldn't be something you can withstand."
In the blink of an eye, the tall figure of Red Cloud Fairy disappeared.
Only leaving the last word lingering in the air.
"Also, don't say again that you're no longer a Red Cloud Sect disciple... I dislike hearing that."
