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

Chapter 349 Jiang Lingyue: I was here first! Lu Ye didn't know what the destruction of the Five Poisons Sect meant.
"Then shouldn't you stay a little further away from me to avoid any rumors getting out?" Lu Ye said after thinking for a moment.

"I...I'm not afraid!" Jiang Lingyue said with a determined look.

“I had already thought about this when we were on the mountain; this day was bound to come eventually,” Jiang Lingyue said, gritting her teeth slightly.

"I...I just love you, and no one can change that fact. Even if my father beats me to death, I will still say it!"

"I fell in love with you when my sister bullied you."

"If we're really going to count, I... I was here first!"

As she spoke, Jiang Lingyue encouraged herself.

Honestly, I was the one who arrived first and was the first to come face to face with the bad guys, so why should I have to give way?

unfair!
"Really? You're not afraid even if you get beaten to death?"

Seeing Jiang Lingyue's forced composure, Lu Ye couldn't help but smile slightly and asked in a low voice.

He could still tell that Jiang Lingyue was somewhat afraid of her father.

"No... I'm not afraid!" Jiang Lingyue said through gritted teeth.

Just then, Lin Yuan, who had been watching for a while, actually walked over here, looking at Jiang Lingyue and asking with a smile.

"Junior Sister Jiang, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to run into you here."

"I never expected to meet Senior Brother Lin here. I've met Senior Brother Lin."

Since she was a bit younger in terms of seniority, Jiang Lingyue didn't put on airs when Lin Yuan greeted her, but returned the greeting.

The next moment, Lin Yuan naturally steered the conversation to Lu Ye beside him, asking curiously, "This person looks a bit unfamiliar, and shouldn't be a disciple of the Wuxiang Sect. I wonder what his relationship is to Junior Sister Jiang?"

Jiang Lingyue said directly, "This is my brother-in-law."

She understood early on that nothing can be kept secret forever.

After tentatively asking my sister last time, I discovered that she didn't seem to want to break off her engagement with her fiancé.

Jiang Lingyue knew it...

It's highly likely that the older sister won't break off the engagement.

Therefore, it will be more difficult to keep this a secret. Rather than remaining passive, it's better to take the initiative and stop trying to hide it!
If you're really unlucky and get caught, then just tell the truth.

Lu Ye did not show any unusual reaction to Jiang Lingyue's words.

He actually knew better than Jiang Lingyue that this day would come sooner or later, but when he told Jiang Lingyue before, she was a little scared.

Surprisingly, she herself is no longer flustered.

Lin Yuan nodded upon hearing Jiang Lingyue's answer.

"So you are Junior Sister Jiang's brother-in-law. I have heard of you before. Fellow Daoist is a esteemed disciple of the Crimson Cloud Sect."

As he spoke, Lin Yuan cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Lu Ye.

However, although his tone seemed calm, his posture still carried a hint of arrogance.

Although Lu Ye's previous identity was that of someone from the Crimson Cloud Sect.

Lin Yuan believed that his cultivation level was definitely much higher than that of most of the Red Cloud Sect disciples. Only a few top disciples of the Red Cloud Sect could slightly surpass him.

Now, the so-called brother-in-law of Junior Sister Jiang is clearly out of reach. Giving him face is mostly out of respect for Junior Sister Jiang's status as her brother-in-law, with only a small part being because he is a disciple of the Crimson Cloud Sect.

Lu Ye nodded indifferently in response to Lin Yuan's attitude, not taking it to heart.

Even when he was only a martial arts grandmaster, Lu Ye would not be affected by other people's opinions.

Now that I've advanced to the second level of the mortal realm Grandmaster, I'm even less likely to be bothered by other people's opinions.

A calm mind is like still water.

Seeing Lu Ye's calm expression, Lin Yuan had a sudden thought, chuckled, and continued.

"By the way, Junior Sister Jiang, you are usually in Danfeng and rarely come into contact with other junior brothers and sisters. There is a very important news that I don't know if you have received it."

Seeing that Lin Yuan seemed to be looking down on her brother-in-law, Jiang Lingyue said coldly, "I don't know, and I don't want to know. If there's nothing else, please leave, Senior Brother Lin."

Lu Ye, standing to the side, showed a hint of curiosity and waved his hand, saying, "Oh? I am a little curious. Fellow Daoist Lin, why don't you tell me what it is?"

Seeing that her brother-in-law had said so, Jiang Lingyue thought about it and decided not to send them away.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan still took out his usual folding fan, opened it with a snap, fanned himself twice, and said with a mysterious expression.

"You all already know about the great news of the Five Poisons Sect's demise, but just a few days ago, this news had not been confirmed by either side, and everything was still unknown."

"And now... finally, there's concrete news!"

"The Five Poisons Sect, which was once considered the number one power in our northern territory, was indeed wiped out by a mysterious figure! The entire headquarters was completely destroyed by a mysterious peerless expert, leaving no one alive!"

Upon hearing Lin Yuan's words, Lu Ye's eyes flickered slightly.

After so much time has passed, has anyone finally dared to approach the location of the Five Poisons Sect's headquarters and roughly find out the situation of the Five Poisons Sect?
After he finished speaking, Lin Yuan immediately looked at the two of them.

Jiang Lingyue was clearly shocked, just as Lin Yuan had predicted.

As for the young man beside him, he still didn't show much expression, which made Lin Yuan feel a little uncomfortable.

The confirmation that the Five Poisons Sect has indeed perished is one of the most astonishing pieces of news in the entire Northern Territory in recent decades.

How could this son-in-law of the Jiang family appear so composed?

Did he understand what the brutal and treacherous Five Poisons Sect represented on the northern lands?

Don't even mention that he was just an inner disciple of the Crimson Cloud Sect back then. Even the sect leader of the Crimson Cloud Sect was no match for the Five Poisons Sect!

"Judging from Fellow Daoist Lu's expression, it seems you anticipated this matter," Lin Yuan said with a low, cold laugh, his tone indifferent.

Now, Jiang Lingyue realized that Lin Yuan was indeed targeting her brother-in-law.

Immediately, Jiang Lingyue raised an eyebrow: "Lin Yuan, watch your words. Whether my brother-in-law knows or not, whether he foresaw it or not, is none of your business. If you continue like this, don't blame me for going to tell the sect leader!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's expression froze.

Even setting aside Jiang Lingyue's renowned status as a fourth-tier alchemy master, she herself, the youngest second-tier alchemist in the history of the Wuxiang Sect... is enough to make the Wuxiang Sect Master take her seriously!
If Lin Yuan were to actually bring this up in front of the sect leader, he would only be punished.

Gritting his teeth, Lin Yuan cupped his hands towards Lu Ye and said, "I apologize for my slight offense to Fellow Daoist Lu just now. I wish you well."

Just then, a man who looked somewhat weak and was accompanied by two innate guards walked over.

As he walked, he said, "This time, thanks to that peerless master who wished to remain anonymous, I was able to be rescued from the Five Poisons Sect."
