Just over twenty years old, and already having such a Sword Dao Realm… Just using a branch in place of a sword, Youluo thought it seemed quite low-key!

A moment later, Lu Ye stopped the branch in his hand that was like a sharp sword and said flatly, "Let's stop here for now. If you don't understand anything, come back and ask me."

Jiang Qingge felt like she had grasped something, but it wasn't very clear.

...

In the following half month, time passed peacefully.

The days were drawing closer to the opening of the Eastern Xuanzhou grand event.

On this day, Chen Lingxiang sent a message, asking if Lu Ye had time.

If he did, she would come to Cloud Leaf City in two days, and then they would go to the Eastern Territory together.

Lu Ye replied positively, he did have time.

During this time, with cultivation, resources were rapidly consumed, and he was just a small step away from reaching the Sixth Layer of the Grandmaster Realm.

Such a terrifying pace, if word got out, it would likely shake the entire Xuanzhou.

No cultivator before had ever advanced so quickly from the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm, as if it were as easy as drinking water!

Other grandmasters usually take several years to advance a Realm. Some are even stuck for a dozen or twenty years, not a few in number.

As a price for this rapid advancement, the Source Crystals in Lu Ye's hand had dwindled rapidly to just over a dozen.

In the afternoon.

Lu Ye sat inside a teahouse, and soon, Youluo came in.

"Did you remember everything I told you?" Lu Ye asked calmly.

Since he was to introduce Youluo to Jiang Qingge, it was naturally necessary to create a suitable identity.

The identity Lu Ye arranged for Youluo was a Postnatal cultivator wandering the martial world, with a decent family background and a bit of money.

Now, she had opened a store in Cloud Leaf City, selling some weapons and elixirs.

In the previous days, Youluo returned to the Realm of Chaos.

She gathered some collected weapons and elixirs from the Youluo Sect's warehouse, along with a few Youluo Sect members to act as shop assistants.

"Don't worry, Youluo has memorized it thoroughly." Youluo said eagerly, "Quickly bring your master to my shop to buy something."

"Master? What did I teach you?" Lu Ye raised an eyebrow.

Youluo: "..."

Old habits die hard, it slipped out too naturally.

...

Jiang Family.

Jiang Qingge was still practicing swordsmanship. Ever since Lu Ye used a branch instead of a sword last time, she felt like she had comprehended a lot from it.

When Lu Ye arrived at the small courtyard entrance, she was just finishing the Fine Rain Sword Technique.

Lu Ye walked into the courtyard and said, "Let me give you a sword."

After speaking, Lu Ye felt a bit strange, after all, someone had said this to him back in the days as well.

"Really?!" Jiang Qingge was somewhat surprised, then couldn't hide a trace of joy.

To think, this person hadn't even been willing to buy her a skewer of candied hawthorns.

And now he was saying he wanted to give her a sword?

Things have changed! Everything is getting better!

Though she had a sword in hand—one taken from the Jiang family weaponry—at that moment, Jiang Qingge naturally put it aside…

"So it's called the Shang Pavilion? Such an easygoing name."

A moment later, the two were already on the shop street of Cloud Leaf City, looking at the store in front of them. Jiang Qingge turned her head and asked, "Is this it?"

Lu Ye coughed and said, "This is it, newly opened. I know the shop owner; she's a female cultivator with a bit of money."

Jiang Qingge was not very doubtful; it was normal for a female cultivator to open a shop.

Moreover, Miss Chen from the Chen Family was always around Lu Ye too, Jiang Qingge thought instead of worrying about this, she might as well improve herself.

Following Lu Ye into the shop, Jiang Qingge heard hurried footsteps approaching.

A girl dressed in a dark robe came out from the backyard.

She then fixed her gaze on Jiang Qingge.

Jiang Qingge: "..."

Being stared at so intently by an unfamiliar female cultivator, Jiang Qingge instinctively felt a little tense and couldn't help but move closer to Lu Ye.

"Ahem..."

Lu Ye coughed; this Youluo, she was like a big bad wolf seeing a little lamb.

Youluo quickly came to her senses and smiled, "So it's Young Master Lu. This... young lady, is she the lady often mentioned by Young Master Lu? Upon meeting today, she indeed is exceedingly beautiful."

Hearing this, Jiang Qingge turned her head to look at Lu Ye, feeling slightly bashful inside. Did he talk about her to others?

Since she knew Lu Ye, Jiang Qingge wasn't so reserved anymore. After all, she was used to managing quite a bit of business and was eloquent, making her quickly become acquainted.

"By the way, I haven't asked your name yet." Jiang Qingge smiled and said.

"I... I'm Ji Youluo," Youluo said.

"So it's Miss Ji," Jiang Qingge said, suddenly having a strange feeling arise in her heart.

Youluo looked at Jiang Qingge, who was lost in thought, feeling a bit apprehensive. She could have chosen another surname, as she originally had none, being an orphan of the Nine Nether Race.

And the surname Ji... was the master's surname when he once ruled the Nine Netherworld!

A moment later, Jiang Qingge smiled and said, "Please, Miss Ji, help me pick a sword."

Youluo, who had already prepared, immediately took out a long sword shining with divine light, clearly not an ordinary item.

"Miss Qingge, take a look at this one!"

"This one… change it, I don't like it." Jiang Qingge refused outright after just one look.

By instinct, she knew that this sword was definitely not cheap.

Today, Lu Ye was gifting her a sword; she didn't want him to spend lavishly, an average one would do.

Lu Ye gave it a glance. It was a Profound Tier Lower Grade magical artifact, labeled as the "Qingqiu Sword."

The sword had a slender blade and a slim handle, indeed suitable for a female's use.

"Alright, this one then. How much silver?"

Jiang Qingge was startled, how expensive could this be? It must cost at least a few thousand, even ten thousand taels of silver, right?

Jiang Qingge wasn't wrong. A Profound Tier Lower Grade magical artifact would be usable even at the Innate Realm.

This Qingqiu Sword was also a fine piece among Profound Tier Lower Grade items; without three to five thousand, it couldn't be purchased at all.

Of course, there were even better ones in the Youluo Sect's warehouse, like those of Profound Tier Middle Grade or even Upper Grade.

But for those magical artifacts costing upwards of hundreds of thousands of taels, given Jiang Qingge's current Realm, they weren't suitable for her.

Youluo smiled and said, "As a friend of Young Master Lu, let's settle it for a token hundred taels."

Hearing this, Jiang Qingge was astonished, this Miss Ji, so generous?

Such a Profound Tier Lower Grade magical artifact for a hundred taels, was nearly equivalent to giving it away for free.

Lu Ye nodded and directly handed over a hundred tael silver note, then handed the Qingqiu Sword to Jiang Qingge.

"See how it feels in your hand."

Receiving it, Jiang Qingge injected Inner Strength and felt it fit perfectly in her hand, nodding, "Very suitable, I really like it, thank you, husband."

Opposite her, watching the master's gaze toward Lu Ye, carrying a hint of flickering light, Youluo silently thought, not good.

Could it be that with such a gift, after delighting the master… she would be given away as a return gift?!

That kind of thing, no way!!
