"You don't need to be too harsh on yourself. In the path of cultivation, it's important to follow the flow." Jiang Lianshan sighed softly.

There's one more thing, which he hasn't told anyone and has been keeping deep in his heart.

Just half a month ago, the Jiang Family Ancestor, who had been forcibly prolonging his life using various resources... had passed away.

Ever since more than two years ago, when the fact that Lu Ye, who married into the family, was a servant disciple of the Red Cloud Sect got leaked, Jiang Lianshan realized there was a spy within the family.

Moreover, this spy holds a very high position.

Over the past two years, Jiang Lianshan ran several tests and finally identified who the spy is.

However, to avoid alerting the enemy, Jiang Lianshan did not deal with the person directly but instead sent the Postnatal Realm elder to manage some unimportant places.

Jiang Lingyue, however, was determined to work twice as hard after going up the mountain.

Not only for the family but for herself as well.

...

Soon, afternoon arrived.

Looking at Lu Ye who hadn't returned all night, Jiang Qingge felt a bit accustomed to it, as he often disappeared for several days at a time.

At this moment, Jiang Lingyue also walked out of the Jiang Family with a calm face, not heading to the suburbs immediately but instead buying some things on the street.

In the storage ring, there were elixirs prepared by Jiang Lianshan, some low-tier spirit medicines and spirit herbs, among other things.

Jiang Lingyue planned to buy some food and supplies, to share with those she knew in her sect.

After half an hour, Jiang Lingyue headed towards the suburbs.

This suburban area was relatively sparsely populated, and soon Jiang Lingyue arrived at the location where she had slipped Lu Ye a note last night.

Not far away was a huge, desolate courtyard.

"Hmm, where is he?"

Jiang Lingyue scanned around but did not see Lu Ye's figure.

"Could he be afraid of being discovered by my sister, so he didn't come?"

With this thought, Jiang Lingyue angrily clenched her small fists, thinking she was the one who arrived first.

And now she's having to mind her sister's opinion just to have a taste of the soup?

"Stinky Lu Ye... how can you be so cowardly? I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of, it's really infuriating."

While muttering to herself, Jiang Lingyue refused to give up and looked towards both ends of the street.

What if Lu Ye just came late?

However, after a few minutes, there was still no sign of anyone outside the abandoned suburban courtyard.

"If you aren't coming, then don't; when I go to Wuxiang Mountain, you won't see me for half a year or a year!" Jiang Lingyue said, biting her lip slightly, and turned reluctantly, ready to leave.

"You've got quite a nerve."

Suddenly, a voice came from beside her.

Instantly, Jiang Lingyue, who just turned around to leave, seemed to be frozen in place.

The next second, she looked up and saw someone standing on a large tree nearby!

Who else could it be but Lu Ye?

"You... you came?!" Jiang Lingyue glared, somewhat angrily saying: "You came without saying a word, I thought you were too afraid to come, I was so mad that I almost forgot my way home."

"Come down here, let me give you a kiss!"

Lu Ye: "???"

He didn't expect, now that Jiang Lingyue was going to Wuxiang Mountain for cultivation, her courage had indeed grown.

Words like this were something she couldn't say before.

A moment later, Lu Ye jumped down from the tree trunk.

"Uh..."

...

...

A long time later.

Jiang Lingyue was quite exhausted but still took out the silver notes and silver that she had accumulated from the storage ring and stuffed them into Lu Ye's hands.

"What's this, a reward for me?" At the sight, Lu Ye couldn't help but laugh.

"Of course not, you're priceless to me; do you think this little bit of silver could buy you?" Jiang Lingyue explained: "These are dividends from the past years and some silver I've saved up. You can use them to purchase resources for martial arts training."

"You could use them too, keep them." Lu Ye said.

"I've joined a sect, surely I'll work hard to compete for resources within it." Jiang Lingyue said with confidence, clenching her fist: "Don't underestimate me, I will definitely become an Innate Realm martial artist eventually!"

Lu Ye wanted to refuse, but Jiang Lingyue crashed into his arms: "Oh come on, just take it! If you don't... I won't let you go today!"

Seeing Jiang Lingyue, who was already on the brink of exhaustion, yet still daring to speak boldly, Lu Ye shook his head slightly.

"Alright, I'll take it then."

Then, he pondered for a moment and took out two small array plates from the storage ring.

"These are two tier-one teleportation array plates that I engraved myself. They can teleport a distance of about one hundred to five hundred meters and can be quite effective at times."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lingyue was stunned - Lu Ye could engrave arrays?!

Though a tier-one array master corresponds only to the Condensing Origin Realm,

array engraved for teleportation and space has always been the most difficult among the same tier Array Dao!

An array master who can engrave tier-one teleportation array plates is absolutely outstanding among tier-one array masters!

"You're amazing!" Jiang Lingyue said admiringly: "I feel like I've picked up a treasure."

"Oh, and this, the Innate Sword Talisman, contains three strands of Innate Sword Qi." Lu Ye took out the Innate Sword Talisman he acquired previously.

He was currently at Grandmaster Fifth Layer, a casual strike from him could deliver much more powerful attacks than this.

However, for Jiang Lingyue who was about to head to Wuxiang Sect, it was just the right protective amulet.

"I don't want it. You can use it too, keep it." Jiang Lingyue shook her head without hesitation.

"I have different ways. If you don't take it, later on, I won't come looking for you at Wuxiang Mountain." Lu Ye joked.

"What? No way! You must come, I'll miss you dearly!" Upon hearing this, Jiang Lingyue panicked a little.

She truly believed Lu Ye wouldn't come, besides herself, he had her sister.

Besides her sister... Sister Lingxiang seemingly also had a bit of interest in him!

"Alright then, thank you for caring so much about me." Jiang Lingyue said shyly: "If it weren't for me heading to the sect tomorrow, I certainly wouldn't let you go."

Lu Ye held her arm and spoke softly: "Don't move."

In the next moment, a strand of Grandmaster's Source Qi was transferred over, replenishing Jiang Lingyue with some strength.

...

Nearing dusk, Jiang Lingyue returned with some difficulty walking.

Knowing her current state could easily raise suspicion, she immediately slipped inside the courtyard upon returning.

Elsewhere, in the Black Tide Forbidden Land.

This place was a convergence of both opportunity and risk; at the outskirts of the forbidden land, adventurer martial artist teams could be seen cautiously moving along, searching for low-tier spiritual herbs and medicines.

Suddenly, a powerful aura descended on the outskirts of the forbidden land, causing some teams of martial artists around to be shocked.

"This... What a terrifying aura! It feels like those monstrous creatures deep within the forbidden land!"

"Who is the Great Power that descended upon the Black Tide Forbidden Area?"

At the outskirts of the forbidden land, Red Cloud Fairy, dressed in a different outfit, gazed coldly over the vast area.

In the next moment, with a few leaps, she vanished from sight, heading straight into the depths of the forbidden land...

...

Soon, a night passed in a blur.

The third day at dawn arrived, the morning dew was quite heavy, giving a slight chill, but inside the Jiang Family, it was rather lively.

A carriage awaited early at the open space outside the courtyard gate.

"Sister, that's enough, that's enough, I'm going to cultivate, not to enjoy life."

Watching Jiang Qingge stuffing large and small packages onto her carriage, Jiang Lingyue quickly spoke up.

"Alright then, let us know if you need anything later." Jiang Qingge lovingly patted Jiang Lingyue's head.

"This is a communication jade token, let me know if you feel tired, I'll visit you when I have time."
