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

Chapter 353 Crimson Cloud: "Don't you think he looks familiar... Lu Ye! The biggest idiot in the Northern Territory!"

"The girl next to that young man looks familiar to me, like I've seen her somewhere before, but I can't quite remember."

"That man, didn't someone say his surname was Lu? What's his real name?"

"Did you see clearly just now? I saw it clearly! The one whom the young master of the Cai family called his benefactor... looks to be under thirty! So young that I can hardly believe it."

"I took a look too. He's too young... and handsome too! It's a pity. If I were a few years younger, I would definitely show him what I'm capable of."

"Ha, you? You really think people haven't had a good life before?"

The discussion started off normally, but as it went on, something seemed off.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lingyue, who was in disguise, leaned close to Lu Ye, winked, and whispered something in a very low voice.

"I didn't realize that you'd been targeted so quickly, brother-in-law."

As she spoke, Jiang Lingyue couldn't help but move a little closer.

This bad guy is too popular, I need to get closer!

Just then, a streak of light appeared from the distant horizon, seemingly flying at full speed towards this place.

People kept arriving from all around, but this streak of light was faster than the others, instantly attracting many curious glances.

"Who from the North has come this time? Is it also because of what happened before?"

"This person is incredibly fast. The ability to fly means they are at least at the Innate Realm. Such speed... could they be a martial arts grandmaster?!"

Some people have provided reasoned and well-founded analyses.

A moment later, the most eye-catching streak of light descended upon the spot. Once it appeared, the area around the campfire fell silent.

The person who came... is known to almost 70% of the cultivators!

"Sect Master of Crimson Cloud?"

"Greetings, Fairy Crimson Cloud..."

In an instant, greetings rose and fell around the bonfire square.

Facing those who greeted her, Fairy Chiyun seemed somewhat dazed, her gaze sweeping across a large area as if searching for something.

However, by this time, the number of people gathered here had exceeded two thousand, and at a glance...

Fairy Red Cloud gained nothing.

At this point, some people noticed that the Crimson Cloud Sect Master seemed to be in a bad state.

Beside a campfire and pile of firewood, Lu Ye gazed at the figure and sighed inwardly. He had already guessed that this was the suddenly appearing Crimson Cloud Fairy…

That's probably why.

Sure enough, as Fairy Chiyun slowly walked forward, she kept scanning the people in the area, checking them one by one.

Soon, they arrived at a location not far from Lu Ye.

At that very moment, Fairy Chiyun also saw "Lu Xuan" sitting by a campfire!
Immediately, Fairy Chiyun's body trembled slightly. She stared at the unremarkable face she hadn't seen for long, and a complex mix of emotions flashed in the depths of her eyes.

Just as Fairy Crimson Cloud was about to speak, a voice transmission entered her ears...

"I know what you want to say, but don't rush, let's finish watching the bonfire party first. We can talk about it later."

Upon hearing it, Fairy Chiyun knew it was Lu Xuan's voice.

Taking a deep breath and trying to calm herself down, Fairy Chiyun pretended to be nonchalant and found a place to sit down, which was right across from Lu Ye.

The sudden arrival of such a powerful figure, sitting right in their circle, instantly made the dozen or so people present quite reserved. One by one, they shifted from their previous boastful chatter and gossip to a serious, meditative state, eyes downcast.

As for Jiang Lingyue, she also seemed a bit reserved. Although she had changed her appearance, she was too embarrassed to stay close to Lu Ye.

...

The party lasted for about an hour, during which Fairy Chiyun had absolutely no interest in watching the performance.

Throughout the entire time, apart from occasionally glancing up at Lu Xuan diagonally opposite him, his eyes were somewhat lost in thought, as if he were pondering something.

It wasn't until the performance ended that I came to my senses and looked at the person opposite me.

After a moment's hesitation, Lu Ye turned to Jiang Lingyue beside him and said, "I have something to take care of. Are you going to wait for me here, or go to the city to rest?"

The bonfire party performances have ended, but the bonfire activities are still ongoing, and the large venue remains lively.

Hearing Lu Ye's words, Jiang Lingyue thought for a moment and said, "Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll wait for you here."

Although she was usually too lazy to use her brain, Jiang Lingyue realized at this moment that the Crimson Cloud Sect Master, who had suddenly arrived here, seemed to be looking for that bad guy.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be sitting here.

Considering that her brother-in-law also came from the Crimson Cloud Sect, Jiang Lingyue felt that there might be something between them.

Lu Ye nodded, then stood up: "Message me if anything comes up."

Without him needing to say anything more, Fairy Chiyun quickly got up and quietly followed after him.

The two walked one after the other through the field, and soon arrived at the edge.

Lu Ye turned his head and looked back, then continued walking for nearly ten miles until he reached a stream before stopping.

In an instant, the Crimson Cloud Fairy, who was right behind her, also landed on this spot.

"How did you end up here?" Lu Ye asked calmly. "Are you also interested in the bonfire party?"

"Lu Xuan, with your intelligence... I don't believe you can guess why I've come here."

Upon hearing Lu Ye's words, Fairy Chiyun bit her red lips slightly and got straight to the point.

Lu Ye asked doubtfully, "If I said I couldn't guess, would the sect leader believe me?"

Fairy Chiyun: “…”

She believed... she was the biggest fool in the North!

“Lu Xuan, tell me the truth, are you really… called Chen Beixuan?” Fairy Chiyun stared intently at Lu Ye and asked, “Or rather… is this really your original appearance?”

"Why would the sect leader ask such a question?" Lu Ye looked at the flowing stream in front of him, reflecting the dappled moonlight, and said, "The sect leader is not as calm as usual tonight."

"I'm not calm? I'm very calm, I've never been this calm before." Fairy Crimson Cloud took a deep breath and said, "I'll show you something..."

As he spoke, Chi Yun took out the memory stone he had previously looked at and directly injected source energy to activate it.

The next moment, the blurry image appeared on the smooth stone surface.

Lu Ye glanced at himself casually and saw his own reflection. He smiled faintly and said, "This person is quite pleasing to the eye."

"Is it merely... that he looks pleasing to the eye?" Fairy Crimson Cloud pondered for a moment before asking, "Don't you find him familiar... Lu Ye!"

When she uttered the name Lu Ye, Fairy Chi Yun's breathing became much more rapid.

Even though he was standing right in front of her, Fairy Chiyun felt inexplicably far away from her.

There seems to be an invisible, but real, chasm between them!
