Thinking of these things, a hint of blush appeared uncontrollably on Jiang Lingyue's cheeks.

Although it seemed bold, it was ultimately only in front of Lu Ye.

But now, she had to seize the great opportunity while her sister was not around... she wanted to drink the soup heartily!

Watching Jiang Lingyue suddenly start giggling happily, Yu Yu inside the room was perplexed. This little junior sister seemed quite smart...

Why would she occasionally show such a foolish smile?

"Senior Sister, I have something to do, I'm going out for a while, you don't have to worry about me for dinner." After saying that, Jiang Lingyue walked out of the room directly and quickly headed out of the inn.

Yu Yu: "???"

Why did she feel like this little junior sister... was up to something?

Like meeting her mysterious lover?

Thinking of this, Yu Yu became curious.

What kind of man could actually charm a girl with such good aptitude and outstanding looks like the little junior sister... to the point of being head over heels?

Yes, head over heels.

The silly smile on Jiang Lingyue's face just now when she went out was so genuine, it didn't even need acting to appear silly.

Yu Yu shook her head and sighed: "Ah, little junior sister is still too young, love is the greatest obstacle on the path of cultivation."

...

Outside the city.

In a still remote and uninhabited place, when Jiang Lingyue arrived at the address in Lu Ye's last message, her eyes immediately began to search.

However, there was no need to search carefully as the figure standing ahead instantly occupied her entire gaze.

"Big bad guy!"

Jiang Lingyue immediately flew over to Lu Ye's side. Looking at the face she hadn't seen for a few days, a hint of longing flashed across her eyes.

"When you called me out, you were the good guy, how come once I'm out here, you become the bad guy?" Lu Ye couldn't help but laugh at Jiang Lingyue, who was adeptly switching between calls.

"Sometimes good, sometimes bad, isn't it like that?"

Jiang Lingyue hugged one of his arms and whispered, "Shall we go see the East Cang River? I heard there's a rock by the river that looks like a human figure, and there's a legend about it."

Lu Ye nodded indifferently, tomorrow this girl would follow the people from the Wuxiang Sect back.

So today he would let her arrange the day.

"By the way, does your sister know you came to East Cang City?" Jiang Lingyue suddenly thought of something and asked.

"She knows, why, are you scared now?"

Watching Jiang Lingyue shrink her neck, Lu Ye shook his head, Jiang Qingge wasn't some kind of monster.

"I... why would I be scared of my sister? I was the one who came first!" Her face stiffened, then she justified proudly.

A moment later, her confidence faded, and she whispered, "Well... I'm not competing with my sister, I'm fine being the youngest one."

"Then you end up listening in the middle of the night, eavesdropping around corners?" Lu Ye tapped her forehead: "Who taught you that trick?"

Jiang Lingyue: "..."

She only listened once or twice, maybe three times...

As they talked, they walked, both cultivators, their pace was quick.

At sunset, they arrived by the East Cang River seventy miles away, the water flowing turbulently.

...

Two hours later.

After accompanying Jiang Lingyue to the East Cang River and then taking a turn around the Ten-Mile Purple Bamboo Forest a hundred miles away, Lu Ye finally sent her back to East Cang City.

Despite feeling a bit reluctant, Jiang Lingyue knew that Lu Ye had his own matters to attend to in East Cang City.

Having occupied this time, she was already thoroughly satisfied in both body and soul.

In East Cang City, the lighting array illuminated the streets, and the crowds surged.

Watching Jiang Lingyue enter the inn, Lu Ye turned into a deserted alley, changed his clothes and human skin mask again, and walked out.

It was only then he took out the Communication Jade Token to reply to a message he had received earlier.

Ruxue: [Tonight's auction is also the last event of the grand gathering... Young Master Chen, will you come?]

[Coming.]

Inside the auction hall.

Only after much effort did Ruxue manage to send a message to Lu Ye, who had just been added as a contact, but there was no response for half an hour.

She thought there wouldn't be a reply.

At this moment, she was diligently verifying the items to be auctioned later.

Unexpectedly, the Communication Jade Token in her Storage Ring glowed slightly.

She took it out and listened, surprising herself to hear a response from half an hour ago.

"Coming?"

Ruxue's lips curled slightly after hearing this, verifying the auctioned items with renewed vigor.

Tonight inside the auction hall, even the diamond-level boxes had several that had already opened early.

Many factions that hadn't shown up in the previous two auctions were now arriving one after another, watching the grand hall with playful eyes.

In one diamond box, Fang Zhiyu, a famous genius of the Celestial Profound Sect, and this time on the East Cang List, was standing in the box.

What was surprising was that the always highly esteemed true disciple of the Celestial Profound Sect, who was highly revered in the Eastern Territory, had a face full of respect.

"Fang Zhiyu, the disciple of Celestial Profound Sect who has not achieved much, greets Saintess Xihua."

Watching the white-clad woman elegantly enter the box, a thin veil covering her face, Fang Zhiyu showed not only respect but also a trace of dread towards her strength!

Fang Zhiyu was known as a "genius" early on in the Eastern Territory and the Celestial Profound Sect.

Before turning thirty, he had successfully overcome the Innate Dilemma and advanced to a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

However, when facing this contemporary saintess of the Yun Province's Xuanzhou Profound Dao Sect, who seemed not much older than himself, it was like facing a vast sea!

Many people did not know that the Celestial Profound Sect, rooted for nearly millennia in Eastern Xuanzhou...

Was actually the finest branch of martial arts cultivation among the Great Jing Seven States, the branch of the Yun Province's Xuanzhou Profound Dao Sect!

Fang Zhiyu was a branch-level genius, but when facing this contemporary saintess from the main sect, the gap immediately revealed itself.

Even though this saintess, known as Nangong Xihua, had never shown her strength, Fang Zhiyu vaguely estimated... she definitely wouldn't be lower than the Grandmaster Sixth Layer!

After all, Nangong Xihua, in the pinnacle cultivational realm of Yun Province, was known as an exceptional talent alongside the Saint Son of the Yun Province's Infinite Palace, and the heirs of the Red Dust Dream Dao Sect and others!

Faced with such a top-tier talent from the main sect, the Celestial Profound Sect immediately sent Fang Zhiyu to accompany her.

After all, with an elder present, the age difference would make it unsuitable, and they wouldn't have any common topics with Saintess Xihua.

Sending Fang Zhiyu contained some ulterior motives as well.

For example, building a closer relationship or... catching the eye of Saintess Xihua.

A saintess born from the Xuanzhou Profound Dao Sect wasn't forbidden from marrying.

"Fang Zhiyu... I know." Saintess Xihua nodded slightly, her voice crisp as a mountain spring and carrying a subtle chill that kept strangers at bay.

"You seem a bit nervous."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zhiyu couldn't help but smile bitterly; facing such a princess of heaven, how could he not be nervous?

Even more so than the tension from being listed on the board a few days ago.

Saintess Xihua's voice remained indifferent: "I heard that at your East Cang Stele, there have been changes three times in the past few days, do you know the origins of those three individuals?"
