Looking at Lu Ye's indifferent expression, Su Wan knew that Lu Ye truly no longer considered himself a member of the Red Cloud Sect.

At this moment, a figure suddenly walked out from behind, directly stopping a short distance in front of Lu Ye.

Seeing who it was, Su Wan was somewhat surprised. It was actually the fairy Jiang Qingge, whose beauty was renowned throughout Cloud Leaf City.

Jiang Qingge held a silk robe in her hand as she walked up to Lu Ye and gently said, "It's windy outside today, a bit chilly. Be careful not to catch a cold."

After speaking, Jiang Qingge gracefully draped the robe over Lu Ye, tenderly adjusting his collar.

Lu Ye: "?"

He frowned slightly, though he was somewhat repelled by Jiang Qingge, he knew this woman was deliberately putting on an act.

She had stayed in the small courtyard last night; it makes sense to play the role thoroughly.

Thus, Lu Ye didn't evade and managed a rare smile: "Thank you, dear wife."

Su Wan: "???"

The onlooker Xiao Qingxi: "???"

Wasn't it agreed that the in-law would disdain him? What is going on with you two?!

The troublemaker Wu De, who's already been sent to the wastelands to open up land, yet you two are here...

Jiang Qingge suddenly felt a bit dazed.

Since she got married and had an ostensibly "husband", this seemed to be the first time she heard Lu Ye call her his wife.

Taking a close look at a face she hadn't examined carefully before, Jiang Qingge unexpectedly fell into a momentary stupor.

"Ahem... you two seem to genuinely have deep feelings; it's quite enviable." On the side, Su Wan lightly coughed.

Coming back to her senses, Jiang Qingge quickly retracted, her ears turning a bit red.

She didn't know why, when in front of this man who resisted the heavens and began to dislike her.

Yet Jiang Qingge was surprisingly less annoyed with Lu Ye.

With a soft smile, Lu Ye patted Jiang Qingge's head, saying, "Thank you for coming out to give me the coat."

Su Wan: "..."

Looking at the seemingly inseparable pair, Su Wan really wanted to say, "This is the Jiang Family courtyard, not your honeymoon suite!"

Knowing that putting on an act requires subtlety and that being excessive seems fake, Lu Ye withdrew his hand, reverting to his calm demeanor.

Jiang Qingge was once again momentarily dazed.

...

In the evening, the Jiang Family was decorated with lanterns, preparing a banquet to welcome the guests from the Red Cloud Sect.

On the outskirts of the banquet, Jiang Yun was drinking while looking at Lu Ye and Jiang Qingge at the main table, a trace of gloom flashing in his eyes.

Jiang Yun didn't expect the plan for another assassination attempt to go awry, thanks to the damned Yellow Springs Pavilion's betrayal.

Because of someone else's higher bid, they turned around and violated the assassin contract spirit!

The Yellow Springs Pavilion refused to take another contract, Jiang Yun's resentment had reached its peak after watching the couple come and go in the Jiang Mansion for these days.

At this moment, Lu Ye at the main table slightly furrowed his brow.

After advancing to the Innate stage, his senses had greatly heightened.

Even in such a noisy and chaotic environment, he could sense that someone seemed to harbor hostility towards him.

He turned to look, Lu Ye furrowed his brows and realized it was a somewhat unfamiliar member of the Jiang Family, at the Condensing Origin Realm.

Watching the person quickly avert their gaze, after a moment of contemplation, Lu Ye didn't say much.

Jiang Yun watched the damn leeching son-in-law suddenly turn his head towards him, his heart jolted, and he quickly shifted his gaze.

If it weren't for him... how would he have been beaten by Jiang Qingge!

Thinking of how the two were even sharing a room now, the fairy he loved since his youth might play pillow stacking at night...

Jiang Yun's heart twisted with resentment, nearly spilling out.

A moment later, feeling that his current mental state wasn't suitable for staying within the Jiang Family anymore.

If a little leaked out, as the daughter of the Patriarch, Jiang Qingge could easily deal with an insignificant Side Branch member.

Furthermore... Jiang Yun had planned yet another assassination!

If exposed, he would certainly die without burial.

Jiang Yun planned to leave Cloud Leaf City immediately the next day, heading back to the Jiang Family Side Branch in Yunshui County.

At the main table, besides the two direct disciples from the Red Cloud Sect, all were from the Jiang Family's Main Lineage.

In front of the Red Cloud Sect's direct disciples, watching brother-in-law Lu Ye personally serving his sister dishes, and his sister not refusing but instead smiling tenderly, Jiang Lingyue's head was buzzing.

These two, when did their relationship become so good?

After the banquet ended, Jiang Lingyue couldn't hold back any longer, she leaned in to Lu Ye and whispered, "Brother-in-law Lu Ye, today... what's up with you and my sister?"

Looking at the girl with twin ponytails, Lu Ye smiled and said, "Adults' matters, children shouldn't pry too much."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lingyue immediately felt indignant, puffing her chest in anger: "I'm not a child anymore! I was an adult at sixteen, I'm already seventeen!"

In the Martial Dao era, sixteen was indeed considered adulthood.

Lu Ye glanced at Jiang Lingyue, smiling without a word.

Jiang Lingyue looked down, directly seeing her toes, her face reddened slightly, muttering under her breath, "Stinky Lu Ye! Too mean!"

Then, she quickly ran away.

Even if slightly oblivious, Jiang Lingyue understood the implications in Lu Ye's smile and silence.

But Jiang Lingyue thought, whether one grows or not... it's not something she can decide, what does it have to do with her.

Seeing Jiang Qingge also coming towards him, Lu Ye contemplated for a moment and mildly asked, "Who was that person? They look a bit familiar, yet I can't name them."

Jiang Qingge followed Lu Ye's line of sight, softly saying, "That's Jiang Yun and Jiang Yuan, they are the Side Branch members of our Jiang Family."

Quietly noting these two names, Lu Ye outwardly appeared calm: "Thank you."

"We're husband and wife, no need to thank for such small things." Jiang Qingge glanced at Su Wan nearby, smiling gently.

On the edge of the banquet, Jiang Yun was still drinking with a group of Side Branch members from the Jiang Family.

Fully aware that watching too much might reveal him, yet ordinarily, he'd never get to see Jiang Qingge this fairy-like figure as cold as an iceberg smile.

As such, Jiang Yun couldn't help but occasionally peer over.

The more he looked, the more jealous Jiang Yun became of Lu Ye.

Why should someone from a servant background marry Jiang Qingge? Living off Jiang Qingge?

Looking at Lu Ye's faint smile in return, Jiang Yun inwardly scorned: "Bah! Pathetic bootlicker."

....

"Husband, it's getting late, let's go back and rest," Jiang Qingge said.

Lu Ye nodded and bid farewell to Su Wan and Xiao Qingxi: "Senior Sister Su, Senior Sister Xiao, we'll take our leave now. You should rest early too."

"Ah? Okay." Su Wan recovered, her expression strangely tinged with a faint reluctance.

Though they stuffed her with a mouthful of PDA.

But Su Wan felt... somewhat captivated!

So this is what married life is like?

All the way leaning on Lu Ye's shoulder back to the small courtyard, Jiang Qingge found herself somewhat immersed in it.

If after marriage, life truly was like this, she thought... she might not resist marriage after all.

Yet Lu Ye's expression immediately returned to calm, pushing Jiang Qingge away and mildly said: "Miss Jiang, we're here, no need to pretend."
