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

Chapter 320 Lu Ye, the Slippery Herb Gatherer? Ye Youyu's Suspicion

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye didn't need to think twice and immediately removed the blindfold.

The domain lord before him was extremely terrifying, but he did not use his spiritual sense to investigate anything.

They were afraid of arousing the domain lord's suspicion, which would prevent them from completing the trial mission.

Therefore, we don't know much about the external situation and can only analyze it secretly.

When the blindfold was removed, Lu Ye could finally see where he was; it was indeed an underground palace.

Not far in front of him, a curtain fell, and behind the curtain... was a faint red shadow!
After a moment's thought, Lu Ye tentatively asked, "How did the Domain Lord know I was from out of town?"

Behind the curtain, gazing at the seemingly ordinary face of the man, the red-robed domain lord's expression suddenly changed.

"Who are you?! Why are you disguised and here?! Are you a spy sent from another domain?!"

"If you don't speak... I, the Lord of this Domain, have plenty of ways to make you talk!"

Three clear shouts echoed in the hall, like a heavy hammer striking Lu Ye's heart.

If someone truly had no trump cards or tricks up their sleeve, they would probably be showing fear by now.

After all, the red figure behind the curtain already gave people the feeling that... if the answer was slightly inappropriate, they would be immediately treated as a spy and eliminated.

Lu Ye remained calm and sighed, saying, "The Domain Lord just said that I am an outsider, which means that my aura or other aspects are significantly different from yours... How can I be a spy for other domains?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Youyu, dressed in red, was genuinely surprised.

She was certain that this outsider, who had not yet been assimilated by the primordial energy of this world, could not possibly be a spy.

That taste of a foreign land... even if it were an hour or two later, it wouldn't be as rich and fresh as it is now.

Ye Youyu was surprised that under this oppressive pressure of death...

This man, who could die countless times with a single casual gesture from her, was still able to remain calm and even began to analyze what she had said earlier!
However, Ye Youyu still coldly said, "Then why don't you show your true face?"

"Remove your disguise."

After a moment's hesitation, Lu Ye reached out and removed the unremarkable mask he had been wearing since arriving at the Crimson Cloud Sect, revealing his true face.

He hadn't expected that the Lord of the Nightshade Domain would have such sharp eyes, seeing through the disguise at a glance.

Of course, it's also possible that the mask is simply of too low a grade; it might be able to fool a martial arts master like Chi Yun.

The red-robed domain lord, who had been watching Lu Ye's movements closely, suddenly froze.

The man behind the mask looked...unlike her expectations.

Ye Youyu originally thought that since this person was wearing a mask and unwilling to show his true face, his true appearance might be... somewhat horrific.

Or perhaps it was to escape the pursuit of some enemy.

After the mask was removed, what was revealed was a young man's face that was noticeably younger, clean, handsome, and with a hint of... a calm and unhurried demeanor.

Most importantly, the red-robed domain lord felt a faint attraction to this outsider.

This is also why she kept the person behind for questioning.

What puzzled Ye Youyu was what was it about this young man in the Acquired Realm that could attract her.

He can't stand even a casual breath from me!
Too lazy to continue the slow interrogation, the red-robed domain lord pondered for a moment, then stepped out from behind the curtain, his voice suddenly seeming to take on a hazy quality.

"Look at me..." In an instant, Lu Ye felt a wave of dizziness!
However, in an instant, the exquisite Myriad Dao Pavilion, which had always existed deep within Lu Ye's mind, also began to exert its power...

Suddenly, a sense of clarity washed over him, but in that instant, Lu Ye understood...

This Lord of the Nightshade Domain used a bewitching illusion on me!
It's likely that she wanted to thoroughly investigate her origins.

Otherwise, given such a large difference in strength, she could easily deal with herself without any trouble.

Upon realizing this, Lu Ye pretended to be under a spell, his eyes revealing a look of confusion, and he appeared dazed.

"Next, I will ask questions, and you will answer." Looking at the stunned stranger, the red-robed domain lord's starry eyes revealed a hint of satisfaction.

Next... she's going to make sure this outsider has nothing left but his underwear!
"What is your name, where are you from, and why are you here?" After a moment's thought, Ye Youyu asked in a cold voice.

"My name is Lu Xuan, and I come from Xuanzhou. I went up the mountain to gather herbs, but I slipped and fell. When I woke up, I was here," Lu Ye replied blankly.

Going up the mountain to collect herbs?

Ye Youyu frowned subconsciously, somewhat disbelieving, and said, "You said you went up the mountain to gather herbs, where are they?"

“Here…” Lu Ye slowly took out several first-tier spiritual herbs and plants from the first-level secret realm of the Crimson Cloud Sect from his storage ring.

As early as when he decided to fabricate the identity of the herb gatherer who had slipped on his foot, Lu Ye had already considered all the evidence.

Ye Youyu stretched out her impossibly white hand and took a slight breath...

They captured those first-tier medicinal herbs and examined them briefly. The broken parts of the roots and stems were very fresh, proving that they had indeed been picked recently.

Instead of those old herbs that have been stored for a long time.

"Did he really fall while gathering herbs?" Ye Youyu pondered for a moment, wondering if the young man had stepped on some hidden interdimensional teleportation array.

The next moment, his gaze fell on the storage ring where Lu Ye had just taken out the herbs, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

She wanted to see the stranger's ring!
"You, take off your storage ring, open the restriction, and let this domain lord see it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye remained expressionless. At the same time, with a slight thought, he quickly transferred everything that needed to be transferred into the Myriad Paths Pavilion space.

Lu Ye left only some first-tier herbs, some silver, and the somewhat worn Lingxi Sword in his storage ring. As for the source crystals, he also left two.

He then slowly took off the storage ring and handed it to the red-robed domain lord.

Taking the storage ring that had its restrictions lifted, Ye Youyu immediately probed it with her spiritual sense...

As Ye Youyu glanced at the spiritual herbs and the silver in front of her, her expression remained unchanged.

Immediately afterward, when she glanced at the two source crystals, her aura suddenly changed.

"Source Crystal?!"

She suddenly stared intently at Lu Ye and said in a deep voice, "Where did you get Origin Crystals, you mere second-level cultivator?"

Lu Ye scratched his head, looking confused, and said, "I found it on the mountain. I thought it was pretty, so I kept it with me."

You can pick this up?!
After hearing this, Ye Youyu immediately thought it was a bit outrageous.

However, looking at the young man from out of town whose expression remained blank, he...

Ye Youyu couldn't figure out how the other person could break free from her bewitching spell and lie.
