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

Faced with these evil black mists, Lu Ye wanted to take action, but unexpectedly, someone... a spirit beast acted even faster than him.

Suddenly, the Thunder God Lion opened its mouth wide, and a powerful suction force burst forth.

The black mist and evil spirits that were approaching were all sucked in and entered the mouth of the spirit beast Qingyu.

"It also has the ability to devour these evil spirits?" Lu Ye was slightly surprised when he saw this.

Snapped!
Qingyu first smacked the Thunder God Lion's head and whispered, "You swallow all sorts of filth, aren't you afraid of overeating?"

Then, he nodded to Lu Ye: "Xiao Shi isn't afraid of these things."

As expected, after being taught a lesson by Qingyu, the Thunder God Lion seemed to be used to it, and even showed a hint that it hadn't eaten enough.

After this wave of black fog swept in, no other incidents occurred in the latter half of the night.

At this moment, Lu Ye was cultivating in his tent.

As he began to circulate the Ancient Star Scripture, even without specifically activating the Star Sword Body, his connection to the celestial stars was still much stronger than before.

The moment it was activated, the stars in the night sky brightened, shining with an even more dazzling light.

In the void, there is energy invisible to the naked eye, which Lu Ye absorbs and refines through his cultivation technique.

In another tent about three meters away, Qingyu also wanted to cultivate.

But after seeing her son-in-law, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, today, she found that she couldn't calm down.

In this situation, cultivation is naturally not suitable, as it is easy to go astray and become possessed by demons due to distraction.

"Sigh... How can I fulfill my duties as a personal maid?"

Qingyu was somewhat distressed. If she had known this would happen, she would have insisted on continuing back in the Jiang family. That's what all the other maids did!
Now it's even harder to make a move...

Suddenly, Qingyu looked up at the night sky through the gap in the tent that wasn't completely closed, with some confusion.

"Huh... what's that noise?"

If she were still the naive little maidservant she knew, Qingyu wouldn't have noticed the changes in the heavens.

To the average person, it's simply that the stars have become a little brighter; nothing to be surprised about.

However, Qingyu's understanding has changed significantly since then, and she immediately noticed the changes in the stars.

Suddenly, a rather startling thought flashed through my mind...

"Could someone be manipulating these stars? Otherwise, even if the stars shine occasionally, they wouldn't last this long."

"There are indeed hidden talents out there..."

Before she could finish speaking, Qingyu looked at the scene and felt that something was amiss.

Why did she feel that the direction reflected by these stars... was under the same starry sky she was in?

The next moment, Qingyu couldn't help but shift her gaze to the tent not far away.

"Could it be...could it be the son-in-law?!"

Right now, Qingyu could sense the two of them, along with a spirit beast, within a radius of several miles.

There was no one else there!
"What kind of technique is this, young master? It can even slightly draw upon the power of the stars?"

Qingyu's eyes widened slightly. Although the amount of stellar power she drew upon wasn't large, the fact that she could draw upon it at all proved that this cultivation technique was extraordinary.

Ordinary methods simply cannot cause changes in the stars.

However, she remembered that when her son-in-law first came to the Jiang family, wasn't he a son-in-law?

Logically, he shouldn't have any special background.

"No wonder the young master refused when I offered him a low-grade Heaven-rank cultivation technique." Thinking back to what had happened not long ago, Qingyu finally understood.

It's not that the low-grade Heaven-rank cultivation technique is bad, but rather that the one the son-in-law possesses is even more extraordinary.

"No, I have to cultivate too. My son-in-law is so much stronger than me and he's still working hard. I can't just give up."

Instantly, Qingyu's motivation to cultivate was also ignited.

The Thunder God Lion, on night watch nearby, kept a close watch on its master with its intelligent eyes…

I wonder what triggered my master tonight.

...

The next morning, after packing up, the two continued their journey.

"Young Master, how are things going with Miss Qingge?" Qingyu, who had been cultivating for half the night, was now full of energy. Remembering something, he asked with a hint of curiosity.

Jiang Qingge...

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye said, "It's alright, she's about the same as before you left. She's in Yunye City now, and she only recently returned."

Upon hearing this, Qingyu quickly began to analyze the information.

The fact that they know Miss Qingge's current whereabouts... suggests that the two are probably still in close contact; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to get the news so quickly.

So, Miss Qingge did not break off her engagement with her fiancé in the end?

And what about Miss Lingyue...?

Because Qingyu had previously followed Lu Ye to the small courtyard he had bought, and after learning that Jiang Lingyue had found Lu Ye, she frequently visited this place for a period of time.

Every time Miss Lingyue comes over, the son-in-law will also go out.

Qingyu hadn't thought about it much before, but now that she thinks about it... could it be that the young master and Miss Lingyue actually have a... very good relationship?

Lu Ye was unaware that his casual reply had immediately set Qingyu's mind in high-speed operation.

At this moment, as the two moved at high speed, the entrance and exit of the second level finally appeared not far in front of them.

Above the second-floor entrance, a striking beam of teleportation light shot straight up, easily visible even from dozens of miles away.

Right now, many cultivators are also appearing here, preparing to use this opportunity to ascend to the second level of the Mystic Heaven Palace.

"I've heard that the second level of the Mystic Heaven Palace is much more vast than the first level, and the chances of encountering opportunities are also greater," Qingyu whispered from the side.

Just as Lu Ye was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed. He turned his head and saw a team of people rapidly approaching from a distant place.

"Walk."

Without lingering, Lu Ye immediately beckoned Qingyu to step into the giant teleportation pillar on the second level and disappear.

Although they were quite far apart, Lu Ye could vaguely make out the leader of that group using his powerful eyesight.

It was the Holy Maiden of the Sea Spirit Palace, with whom he had briefly clashed before!
Although the Holy Maiden of the Sea Spirit had taken the initiative to seek peace outside, Lu Ye could tell that this proud woman of heaven had been intimidated by him in front of so many people.

He definitely wanted to regain his pride.

Lu Ye, however, was unwilling to get entangled with the Holy Maiden of the Sea Spirit any longer, as it would be a waste of time and would not bring him any benefit.

Therefore, he immediately took Qingyu and left via the second-floor teleportation array.

that side.

A moment later, the Holy Maiden of the Sea Spirit arrived swiftly with more than a dozen disciples of the Sea Spirit Palace, her gaze sweeping across the surroundings with unwavering precision: "Was the one who just left from here... Chen Beixuan?"

Upon hearing this, the cultivator who was still lingering near the teleportation pillar, hesitant about whether to go to the second floor, quickly nodded. (End of Chapter)
