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

Su Liuying shook her head almost imperceptibly; the attempt to patch this up had too many flaws.

In fact, Su Liuying was also a little curious about who her disciple's sweetheart was.

Or rather, who is it?

Since Jiang Lingyue began to show her talent and her reputation gradually grew.

Because they were often together, and because Su Liuying was teaching Jiang Lingyue, she would see her from time to time...

Various young people, from both the main sect and other sects, entered the Wuxiang Sect under different pretexts to express their feelings to this girl.

But Jiang Lingyue refused them all with great impatience.

After doing this many times, Jiang Lingyue even became somewhat annoyed.

If Su Liuying hadn't known that Jiang Lingyue had someone she loved, she would have even thought that her disciple was born hating men.

With a slight twitch of her eyes, Su Liuying smiled.

"Are you getting bored staying on the mountain for too long? Perfect, I'm here too, why don't you show me around?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lingyue was stunned.

It's not that she can't take Su Liuying around, but... now is not the right time!

"Um, um... could it be in a few days?" Jiang Lingyue said softly, "Master, I have time in a few days, what do you think?"

"There's no time like the present, so I think today is perfect. What, you're not willing?" Su Liuying said with a half-smile.

Jiang Lingyue: “…”

...

At the same time, Lu Ye, who had just arrived not far from Wuxiang Mountain, suddenly received an urgent message.

[Something terrible has happened! My master insists on coming along!]

What should I do? I...I'm so panicked!

"Is her master coming along?"

Lu Ye raised an eyebrow slightly. From these two pieces of information, Lu Ye could sense that Jiang Lingyue was panicking.

Don't panic. I'll use a fake identity to deal with this for now. You can just call me Lu Yan.

After telling Jiang Lingyue a location outside the town, Lu Ye put on a mask, intending to deal with Jiang Lingyue's master first.

A moment later, sure enough, two figures walked towards them.

Across from them, Su Liuying's gaze also instantly locked onto this spot.

When Su Liuying saw Lu Ye standing somewhere outside the town, she instantly scanned him from head to toe.

Then, it lingered on Lu Ye's face.

"You look a bit unfamiliar..."

With this thought flashing through her mind, Su Liuying remained outwardly calm and followed Jiang Lingyue in that direction.

If it were the Jiang Lingyue of the past, she would have pounced on Lu Ye the moment she saw him.

But with her master right beside her today, Jiang Lingyue felt incredibly stifled.

Walking slowly up to Lu Ye, Jiang Lingyue introduced him in a low voice, "This...this is my master."

"Master, this is... Lu Yan."

She almost blurted out "Lu Ye" without thinking, but thankfully Jiang Lingyue changed it to "Yan" halfway through.

After all, the pronunciations of "Ye" and "Yan" are very similar.

Su Liuying nodded slightly: "Young friend, you are so young and handsome. I heard... you and my disciple are in love?"

Jiang Lingyue immediately stiffened up next to Su Liuying. She hadn't expected that her master would ask this question right away.

"Reporting to Senior Su, it is indeed true that we are of mutual affection." Upon hearing this, Lu Ye showed no signs of nervousness and remained calm as he spoke.

This is just like the scene in my past life when I met the girl's parents.

Lu Ye had seen this situation many times before.

"Do you know that Lingyue is already a third-level alchemist?" Su Liuying said, "At her age, her future achievements will definitely be that of a master alchemist, or even higher!"

"Therefore, I hope she can spend less time on other things."

At first glance, this statement doesn't seem to have any clear meaning.

But in reality, Lu Ye understood in a very short moment.

This was Su Liuying subtly implying that her disciple was so outstanding that she herself might not be worthy of him.

If not, it's better not to delay Jiang Lingyue.

Jiang Lingyue, who was standing nearby, quickly grabbed Su Liuying's sleeve and pleaded in a low voice, "Master... please stop talking."

Su Liuying didn't know Lu Ye's true identity, but Jiang Lingyue did.

What is a third-tier alchemist?
More than half a year ago, this villain... had already killed a Grandmaster of the Mortal Realm!
A third-tier alchemist is equivalent to the Innate Realm.

Even though it is much rarer than other cultivators of the same level, it is at most comparable to the peak of the Innate Realm.

Because after passing the Innate Realm, the effect of third-tier pills on subsequent realms becomes very small.

It is not enough to move those at a higher level.

Comparing yourself to this bad person is just plain self-destructive.

Lu Ye was not angry when he heard Su Liuying's words. He knew that Su Liuying was also thinking of Jiang Lingyue. He smiled calmly and said.

"It depends on Lingyue's own thoughts on this matter. If she feels it won't cause any delay, then it won't."

Beside her, Jiang Lingyue quickly whispered, "It won't delay us, it won't delay us..."

...

About ten minutes later, Su Liuying left.

After all, Su Liuying knew that her presence here was definitely in the way.

After more than ten minutes of subtle probing, Su Liuying finally figured it out...

This young man seemed to possess a composure and confidence rarely seen at his age.

In addition, Jiang Lingyue was wholeheartedly devoted to that side, and she would feel extremely distressed if she asked even the slightest question.

Therefore, Su Liuying could only sigh helplessly and leave the two of them alone.

"This young man's cultivation level is only at the Innate Realm, but why does it feel different to me?"

As Su Liuying left, she had some doubts in her heart.

However, it is clear that these doubts cannot be answered for the time being, so Su Liuying can only keep them to herself.

Watching her master walk away, Jiang Lingyue let out a long breath, feeling her tense emotions relax instantly.

"Phew, that scared me to death..."

Patting her chest firmly, Jiang Lingyue hugged Lu Ye tightly.

"I miss you so much!"

"What, are you so afraid of your master?" Lu Ye couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

"Master is a very good person. He is usually very gentle with me. I'm just worried that he might have a problem with you." Jiang Lingyue snuggled comfortably next to Lu Ye and said in a coquettish tone.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Lingyue continued.

"Master thought you were just an ordinary person. If she were to tell her that you were the newly crowned number one on the Eastern Cang Ranking not long ago, I wonder what Master would do!"

Lu Ye remained silent, glancing in the direction Su Liuying had left, a faint look of contemplation flashing across his face.

Just as Su Liuying felt something was off about him, Lu Ye also felt that his master, Jiang Lingyue…

Its aura was slightly strange, seemingly different from that of a normal human.

However, based on Jiang Lingyue's previous accounts and their brief contact during the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, it is clear that...

Lu Ye could tell that the other party truly cared about this disciple. (End of Chapter)
