"Whether it is or isn't, what does it have to do with you, Young Master Wu?" Chen Lingxiang said coldly, "Young Master Wu, you seem to have overstepped your bounds."

As soon as the words fell, a faint fierce aura rose from Chen Lingxiang's delicate body, flashing by in an instant.

Wu Jun instantly snapped back to reality. He had forgotten, the Celestial Maiden of the Chen Family standing before him... was indeed a true Innate!

Moreover, she was not merely at the Innate First Layer.

Even the City Lord's Mansion was at a disadvantage compared to the Chen Mansion.

If he truly angered Chen Lingxiang and caused hostility between the Chen Mansion and the City Lord's Mansion, even Wu Jun could not bear such consequences.

He almost broke out in a cold sweat, and Wu Jun's eyes suddenly cleared up.

"I apologize, it was my offense."

...

Walking out of the Chen Mansion somewhat dejectedly, Wu Jun was already feeling some hesitation within.

It's been several years, could he really win Chen Lingxiang's heart?

If he couldn't, then investing more time into this seemed to be in vain.

"Why do I even bother? When it comes to family background, I have the City Lord's Mansion behind me. Regarding talent, in the vast Luohua City, I, Wu Jun, am ranked only beneath a few."

"Why must I persist in a strong alliance, chasing after someone where success is impossible?"

By forcibly pursuing Chen Lingxiang, Wu Jun also knew he had offended many people in the past.

Including the so-called 'Jiang Family's son-in-law' he mentioned earlier. Ultimately, he had no enmity with Lu Ye, the Jiang Family's son-in-law.

His gaze gradually became firm again as Wu Jun finally figured it out: as for this Celestial Maiden of the Chen Family, anyone else who wants to pursue her can go ahead!

He wouldn't be acting on it anymore, not even a little bit.

As for the previous offense to that person from the Jiang Family, he could only look for an opportunity to apologize later.

Once he had thoroughly thought it through, Wu Jun felt entirely at ease.

However, although he planned to give up, Wu Jun didn't believe Lu Ye and Chen Lingxiang could be related.

After all, the term Jiang Family's son-in-law, though unflattering, was indeed a fact.

And Chen Lingxiang had always been lofty; fancying a married man? Impossible.

...

Across thousands of miles, because of an invitation from the Wang Family, there was a sense of great events converging.

Yet Lu Ye was not disturbed by the outside world in the slightest, still immersed in his own rhythm.

Apart from practicing daily with the Ancient Star Scripture, the Heaven-Defying Three Swords was the only martial art in his hands that had not reached Perfection.

He practiced madly during these days.

A few days later, the Heaven-Defying Three Swords finally reached the Great Success Realm.

As soon as the Heaven-Defying Three Swords reached Great Success, within a ten-mile radius, all swords in the hands of swordsmen in that range resonated with a simultaneous hum!

This peculiar phenomenon left many puzzled.

It was at this moment that Jiang Lingyue hurriedly ran in.

"Brother-in-law, did you feel it?"

"Feel what?"

Jiang Lingyue said excitedly, "Just now! My Cyan Moon Sword moved again! I also asked many of the guards in the mansion who use swords, they experienced the same phenomenon!"

Lu Ye said lightly, "Then what? Why are you so excited?"

Jiang Lingyue said mysteriously, "Listen to my guess, you'll be excited too!"

"I suspect the person who caused this sword movement is the same as the person responsible for the previous celestial phenomenon..."

Lu Ye: "..."

Unexpectedly, this seemingly simple-minded Jiang Lingyue is quite sharp at this moment.

She got it right indeed.

Jiang Lingyue grew more excited as she spoke, continuing, "And wasn't it said before that the mysterious person was only confirmed to be within a thousand miles?"

"Today's movement suggests... that mysterious person might be right here in our Cloud Leaf City!"

Jiang Lingyue said with some admiration, "I really wonder what kind of person has such terrifying proficiency in the Sword Dao."

Even ten percent of that supreme swordsmanship was the realm Jiang Lingyue dreamed of achieving.

Looking at the yearning expression of his sister-in-law, Lu Ye shook his head slightly, saying, "I just happen to have some time today, so demonstrate the Fine Rain Sword Technique, and I'll give you some pointers."

Jiang Lingyue's swordsmanship was proficient but not perfect yet.

With Lu Ye's Perfection Realm proficiency and his terrifying comprehension of the Sword Dao, a few casual pointers could provide her considerable improvement.

After having Jiang Lingyue perform it once, Lu Ye pointed out a few flaws.

But with Jiang Lingyue's understanding, she couldn't digest it immediately, and her Fine Rain Sword Technique was still full of flaws.

"Don't move; I'm only going to teach you once."

With a slight sigh, Lu Ye took out the Magical Artifact Longsword he got from the Divine Weapon Pavilion previously.

Swinging it effortlessly, the Fine Rain Sword Technique flowed out like water in a light and easy manner!

Jiang Lingyue was stunned upon seeing this.

The perfection of the Fine Rain Sword Technique displayed by that mysterious black-clad figure that night seemed to appear before her again!

Staring at Lu Ye, observing this brother-in-law, whom most of the Jiang Family looked down upon but who seemed deeply hidden, Jiang Lingyue was momentarily breathless.

...

Time flew by like water.

With the passage of time, finally, the myriad paths converged, once again reaching completion.

[Congratulations to the host! You have obtained 1 Upper Grade Innate Pill! It has been placed in the Dao Pavilion's storage, available for the host's use at any time.]

This time, it was still an elixir, but not the most basic Condensing Origin Pill, rather... an Innate Pill!

As the name suggests, it is a top-grade elixir that can increase the progress of cultivation even in the Innate Realm.

Each one is worth at least a hundred thousand taels of silver and is absolutely priceless.

Very few would ever sell such an elixir.

"With this Upper Grade Innate Pill, the confidence to break through the Innate Realm is even greater."

Looking at the increasingly prosperous small courtyard, Lu Ye smiled faintly with his hands behind his back.

...

In the blink of an eye, another half-month passed.

There were only a few days left until the formal start of the Wang Family Ancestor's birthday banquet.

And Lu Ye's cultivation, after half a month of intense training, had also reached the Perfection of the Postnatal Ninth Layer!

A barrier that blocked countless of the Postnatal Ninth Layer, the Innate Barrier, appeared right before him.

"Postnatal Ninth Layer, Perfection..."

Feeling the abundant inner strength within, Lu Ye sighed slightly.

Who would have known that just half a year ago, he was a transmigrator who had struck it lucky coming over from Blue Star, without any cultivation?

Whether it was luck or not, in these dozen days, he accumulated another chance to draw.

Lu Ye unexpectedly drew another Upper Grade Innate Pill!

"It's not suitable to break through in the Jiang Mansion; I need to find another place."

Sweeping his gaze around, Lu Ye immediately left the Jiang Mansion, heading for the outskirts of Cloud Leaf City.

Breaking through to the Innate Realm would also cause a significant disturbance in the Heaven and Earth Source Qi within a certain range.

Breaking through in the Jiang Household undoubtedly meant exposing himself.

While his strength couldn't handle most troubles, Lu Ye only wished to develop quietly.

Moments later, reaching a secluded forest outside the city, Lu Ye quickly darted into it.
