Watching the wishing incense bags sway in the night breeze, Chen Lingxiang actually had a wish... that she didn't write down.

That is, she hoped that the person she fancied... would also fancy her.

However, Chen Lingxiang didn't have the confidence, so she ultimately didn't dare to write it down.

...

On the other side, at the inn, Jiang Lingyue wanted to go out to find Lu Ye, but after glancing at the sky...

If she said she wanted to go out at this time, it might arouse suspicion from senior sister Yu Yu, so after thinking it over, Jiang Lingyue didn't express her intention.

Unexpectedly, Yu Yu also wasn't sleeping; after sitting in the room for a while, she suddenly said,

"Junior sister, I've heard that there's a wishing tree in East Cang City that's quite efficacious. If you have time, shall we go take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lingyue, who was already without any sleepiness, agreed immediately.

The two of them quickly left the inn and headed straight for the location of the wishing tree within the city.

At this moment, Chen Lingxiang had just hung her wishing incense bag. Looking at the array of incense bags under the night sky, she felt a bit melancholic.

Standing next to her, Lu Ye suddenly noticed something and was surprised to see two feminine figures quickly approaching from afar on the street.

Among them, one was unfamiliar, but the other was clearly Jiang Lingyue.

At this late hour, Jiang Lingyue wasn't asleep and had actually come to the wishing tree?

Although he had come here at this time too... Lu Ye had always used meditation in place of sleep at night.

Soon, Chen Lingxiang also saw Jiang Lingyue and another person arriving in a hurry. Initially planning to greet them out of habit, she suddenly remembered she was disguised and stopped herself.

Jiang Lingyue, however, hurried to the front of the wishing tree, noticing a vendor who seemed about to pack up and leave, quickly followed Yu Yu to buy a wishing incense bag.

Afterward, her gaze, slightly suspicious, scanned the two individuals under the tree.

At first glance, Jiang Lingyue felt unfamiliar with them, having never seen their faces.

But upon looking closely again, she felt as though she had seen them somewhere before.

Thus, Jiang Lingyue couldn't help but glance at them a few more times with suspicion.

Noticing Jiang Lingyue's frequent glances, Lu Ye remained calm, while Chen Lingxiang became a bit anxious.

Quickly tugging at Lu Ye's sleeve, she signaled to leave promptly.

After all, in the dead of night, being at the wishing tree with someone else's brother-in-law...

If Jiang Lingyue were to ask, Chen Lingxiang felt unsure about how to explain.

Lu Ye nodded and turned to walk forward with Chen Lingxiang.

Right then, a curious voice from Yu Yu came from behind, "Junior sister, what wish are you going to make?"

"For everyone in the Jiang Family to be safe and healthy, and for my sister to cultivate soon." Jiang Lingyue's voice sounded lively.

After listening to this, Lu Ye couldn't help but chuckle; indeed, under the heavens, most people's wishes are similar.

But...

Soon after, Jiang Lingyue continued, "Also, I hope the person I like has constant luck! Good health! Be strong and vigorous! And I... I also want to grow bigger!"

Yu Yu: "..."

Watching her junior sister's serious demeanor, Yu Yu almost choked on her own disbelief.

Having someone special gives one courage? Can such things even be wished for?

"This… junior sister, is your special someone… very, um, weak?"

Jiang Lingyue blushed a bit and said, "Not really… he is very strong, but he's not my match!"

After all, without that scoundrel around, only heaven and earth and she would know who is stronger, who would beg for mercy.

With those words, Yu Yu's eyes widened as she looked at the slender and blushing Jiang Lingyue, with only one thought in her mind.

Junior sister... is she that fierce?!

Not far from the wishing tree, on the street, Lu Ye's face turned slightly dark as he was about to leave.

This Jiang Lingyue, her courage is growing.

...

In a nearby inn outside Bai Chuan Auction.

While meditating in her room, Su Wan suddenly felt something amiss. Opening her eyes, she saw an unknown scarlet figure before her!

Moonlight spilled in through the window, falling on the figure in palace attire, bringing out the dignified face, so beautiful as if rivaling those from the Moon Palace.

Recognizing her, Su Wan gasped softly.

"Master?!"

Quickly getting up, Su Wan lit the lighting stone, and the soft radiance filled the room.

Glancing at Su Wan, the Red Cloud Fairy nodded slightly, "Innate Sixth Layer, not bad. It seems your harvest in the Sect Secret Realm was decent."

Su Wan bowed and said, "Thank you, Master, for your nurturing, but sadly, this disciple's aptitude is mediocre, and I've always been unable to truly alleviate Master's worries."

After lifting her head to see the Red Cloud Fairy's expression, Su Wan paused, then became a bit surprised.

"Master, your complexion... have you been injured?!"

The Red Cloud Fairy's face remained calm as she spoke, "Minor injury, after all, the Black Tide Forbidden Land is too dangerous; it's not surprising to get injured."

She didn't mention that the injury was caused by the Purple Origin Sect Leader.

Comparatively, claiming that she was injured due to the dangers of the Black Tide Forbidden Land was more reasonable.

Upon hearing this, Su Wan felt a bit distressed and said, "Master, actually... you don't have to go."

The dangers of the Black Tide Forbidden Land were well known to Su Wan; even those at Grandmaster Perfection, upon entering deep areas, faced a risk of falling.

"Master, this disciple thinks that since that Mysterious Grandmaster is unwilling to join our Red Cloud Sect, perhaps we should give up on this matter? No need to force it; our Red Cloud Sect now has you and the Supreme Elder in charge, we shouldn't fear anyone."

With a soft sigh, the Red Cloud Fairy didn't hide anything, saying, "I have a premonition; the Northern Territory... is going to change soon, and even the entire Xuanzhou won't be spared."

"The Cyan Thunder Sect has sealed its mountain, its prestige greatly diminished, while the Red Cloud Sect seemingly becomes one of the two major sects in the Northern Territory, but truly powerful combat strength is limited."

"Just tonight, a Grandmaster Late Stage Evil Crystal Core appeared at the auction; even for me, under normal circumstances, there wouldn't be ability to kill the opponent! Unless relying on the power of sect treasures."

"Such a crystal core appeared on the first day of a three-day auction."

"And even before the auction began, there were two changes on the East Cang Stele List."

With a wistful sigh, the Red Cloud Fairy continued, "Two Martial Arts Grandmasters under fifty emerged from the Eastern Territory, and throughout the Northern Territory over the past hundred years, apart from the mysterious figure who became a grandmaster in the Black Valley Secret Realm... there is no one else!"

"If we don't recruit him... I'm really unwilling to accept it."

Su Wan fell silent; what her Master said was indeed true.

Fang Zhiyu from the Eastern Territory and Chen Beixuan appearing afterward, both under fifty, grandmaster prodigies!

And in the Northern Territory, only the mysterious figure from earlier achieved grandmaster status in the Black Valley Secret Realm, slaying Yinmang, Blood Evil, and a terrifying Fifth Layer Grandmaster assassin!

Even Xiao Yun of the Myriad Laws Sect is still exploring the grandmaster mysteries, unable to truly peer into this realm.
