The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

Chapter 234 Jiang Qingge: "I have insomnia when I'm alone, can you keep me company...?"

For the next few minutes, Meng Lei, who had been imprisoned for several years, continued to hurl insults.

After listening for a while and finding no new information, Lu Ye rushed into the courtyard and placed various spiritual imprints on Meng Lei and Wang Xingluo.

Only then did they quietly leave the heavily guarded forbidden area deep within the city lord's mansion.

In the dark street, after Lu Ye took off his black clothes, he was still somewhat surprised.

This Wang Xingluo, who used to have a decent reputation in Yunye City, has actually been hiding his true identity so well.

Not only did they imprison the steward of the manor, but they also practiced the technique of concealing their breath, suppressing their cultivation to the level of the second or third level of the Innate Realm.

As for why it was this realm, rather than the lower Innate First Level, Lu Ye could roughly guess.

It's highly likely they don't want to put pressure on the Jiang family and the Tian family!

After all, a fourth-level innate level would easily make the two major families wary of the City Lord's Mansion.

However, if it is compressed into the first level of the innate realm, it may not have enough city lord weight at certain times.

They originally wanted to rescue Meng Lei to see if they could get any information out of him.

But thinking about it carefully, after being tormented by Wang Xingluo for several years, I guess he's tried all sorts of methods.

If Lu Ye goes to rescue people at this moment, it could easily be interpreted as another scheme by Wang Xingluo to get him to talk.

I'd be lucky if I didn't get a barrage of insults; I doubt they'd even give me any information.

Moreover, it would alert the enemy and make Wang Xingluo wary, which would be counterproductive.

Four hundred li outside the city.

Lu Ye's current mastery of the Four Extremes Transformation of the Soaring Dragon is only one step away from perfection, and the four hundred miles is just a short while for him.

Having found a place with relatively abundant spiritual energy, Lu Ye began his cultivation for the night.

Meanwhile, in the realm of chaos.

The Holy Maiden Xihe descended upon this place and entered the City of Chaos.

Even in the dead of night, the chaotic city remains bustling with activity, with numerous patrons coming and going from various gambling dens and brothels.

Although the Holy Maiden Xihe's face was veiled, her figure was extremely slender. Even without seeing her face, one could tell that she was probably a beauty.

Therefore, after walking only a few steps on the street, he was spotted by three drunken men who blocked his way.

"Hey, this girl looks a bit unfamiliar. She must be new to my Chaotic City, right? This woman smells so good, hahaha!"

"It really smells good! And why are they wearing masks in the middle of the night?"

The three drunkards, emboldened by the alcohol, all revealed lecherous eyes as they stared at the veiled Saintess Xihe.

In an instant, Saintess Xihe's eyes turned icy cold.

As the Holy Maiden of the Xuantian Dao Sect in Yunzhou, when has she ever been teased like this?
Seeing the three drunkards blocking her way, Saintess Xihe remained indifferent, waving her fair, jade-like hand...

Pfft pfft pfft!

With three consecutive cries, three ill-intentioned drunkards died instantly, their dying breaths tinged with a lewd smile.

Suddenly, pedestrians on the street felt a chill run down their spines, and many dared not stare at the unfamiliar white-clad, veiled woman with any more amusement.

They'll start fighting at the drop of a hat!
Even though they were newcomers, they already possessed the survival skills of the chaotic realm.

In this chaotic place where all sorts of people mingle, only overwhelming force can scare away all the evil spirits and monsters.

"Fellow Daoist, you have skillful methods. Do you know anyone in the city? If not, and you wish to develop your career in the city, why not join a faction?"

Just then, a woman walked up and said with a smile.

The woman was originally considered to be six out of ten pretty, but a hideous spider pattern on her face made her look somewhat terrifying.

Upon hearing this, Saintess Xihe's eyes flickered slightly. She had come to the Chaotic Realm to investigate some matters.

Now a local is trying to build a relationship with me, so I'm taking this opportunity to ask him some questions.

Immediately, Saintess Xihe nodded slightly. "Lead the way."

Seeing that the Holy Maiden Xihe had agreed, the spider-faced woman smiled and led the way: "Please follow me."

When they returned to the Jiang family home, it was still dark, about an hour before dawn.

As soon as Lu Ye entered the courtyard, he saw Jiang Qingge also coming out of the training room.

"You're back?"

Jiang Qingge's complexion didn't look too good.

Logically speaking, after finishing cultivation, one should have abundant energy and be at the peak of their aura.

But Jiang Qingge seemed to have gone through something, and her complexion looked a little off.

"What's wrong with you?" Lu Ye asked upon seeing this.

After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Qingge said in a low voice, "I don't know why, but lately, strange images keep popping into my head."

Jiang Qingge told Lu Ye about the occasional horrific scenes that had occurred, sounding somewhat troubled.

"I don't know why I have these images. The problem is, I have never experienced or seen these scenes before."

Born into the Jiang family, her life for the past twenty years has been relatively peaceful and monotonous.

Aside from the fact that she married Lu Ye a few years ago through a political alliance.

This incident is probably one of the most turbulent things that has happened in my life.

Aside from that, I basically just manage the shop and stay at the Jiang family home, living a very routine life.

After hearing Jiang Qingge's words, Lu Ye's eyes flickered.

Jiang Qingge herself doesn't know why this happened...

On the contrary, he was able to guess a thing or two.

It's highly likely that it was something I experienced in my past life.

Suddenly, Jiang Qingge bit her red lips slightly, took two steps forward, hugged Lu Ye from the front, and whispered, "I have insomnia when I'm alone, can you... can you keep me company?"

Looking at Jiang Qingge, who exuded a hint of fragility, Lu Ye pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

Hearing Lu Ye nod in agreement, Jiang Qingge looked up and stared at Lu Ye's face, which was so close to hers.

Without thinking... he kissed her.

Lu Ye: “…”

He only said he could keep Jiang Qingge company while she was having trouble sleeping, what does it mean to just say it directly?
Soon, an hour passed—not a long time, but not a short time either.

As dawn broke, Cloud Leaf City seemed to come alive again, with various breakfast stalls bustling about on the streets and diners hurrying by.

Inside the room, Jiang Qingge watched Lu Ye's departing figure, her face slightly flushed.

Looking down at herself, dressed only in a thin nightgown, she fell into a brief moment of contemplation…

Just recently, Jiang Qingge played the role of a gentle wife, although she herself is...

She could tell that Lu Ye wasn't particularly resistant to being intimate with her, which meant that he wasn't as annoyed with her as before.

But just as Jiang Qingge mustered her courage and was about to take it a step further...

But Lu Ye pushed her away.

What he left behind was still that same sentence that left him somewhat puzzled.

First, find your true self...

What does it mean?
Jiang Qingge looked down in confusion, stretched out a hand, and pinched herself... Isn't this pretty real?
