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

However, something is clearly not right in the North these days.

The young Jiang Lingyue alone was enough to overshadow everyone else in the Northern Territory.

At such a young age, he is already a fourth-level alchemy master, comparable to a martial arts grandmaster!

Not to mention, above Jiang Lingyue, there is an even more dazzling young man surnamed Chen.

Therefore, Qin Shou's return to the sect, which was originally expected to cause a great stir and make other northern forces envious, did not cause too much of a ripple.

Qin Shou was initially somewhat unhappy, as he had endured hardship outside and was expected to receive praise upon his return.

Why is it that as soon as I came back, nobody takes me seriously anymore?!

Later, Qin Shoucai heard that his Wuxiang Sect had produced such a brilliant female alchemist!
Throughout the entire North, his reputation was second only to that of the perverted youth.

She was exceptionally beautiful, like a lotus emerging from the water, making her unforgettable at first sight.

Qin Shou immediately seized an opportunity to meet Jiang Lingyue, who was traveling back and forth between Danfeng and the sect, and was immediately amazed by her beauty.

Qin Shou pursued her without hesitation. Given his status, he was naturally extremely prestigious within the Wuxiang Sect.

Once he made his move, Jiang Lingyue's original suitors seemed less impressive.

Qin Shou thought that although he was not as talented as Jiang Lingyue, his outstanding appearance and status as a true disciple of the Wuxiang Sect Master made it easy for him to capture her.

Unexpectedly, I was turned away quite a few times in the past two or three months.

Moreover, this junior sister Jiang's attitude towards me never improved from beginning to end.

"Junior Sister Lingyue, hehe..." Faced with Jiang Lingyue's words, Qin Shou immediately smiled gently, just about to say something.

Then Jiang Lingyue frowned noticeably: "Senior Brother Qin, I am not that familiar with you, please have some self-respect."

Right now, having already heard the news that the bad guy was about to face a powerful enemy, Jiang Lingyue had no mind to do anything else.

At this moment, Qin Shou jumped out and kept harassing her, making Jiang Lingyue feel that he was very annoying.

In an instant, Qin Shou's impression on her became as bad as it could possibly be.

Qin Shou: "..."

Looking at Jiang Lingyue's suddenly cold expression, Qin Shou realized... he seemed to have made a mess of things.

Isn't it said that women like persistent and affectionate suitors? Why doesn't it work at all with me?

Yu Yu also glanced at Qin Shou and shook her head slightly in her heart.

In Yu Yu's perception, although Qin Shou had a good status and was decent-looking, he was still no match for Jiang Lingyue's brother-in-law, Lu Ye.

It's no wonder that Junior Sister Jiang is showing no mercy for his continued obliviousness and persistent pestering.

But... does Junior Sister Jiang really have... you know... relationship with her brother-in-law?

Yu Yu's heart stirred slightly.

She was quite curious!

After a moment, Qin Shou realized he was being rude and turned away dejectedly.

He didn't dare to anger Jiang Lingyue too much. As a fourth-level alchemy master, even the sect leader of Wuxiang had to treat her with respect.

Not to mention him, a disciple of a lower rank.

“Junior Sister Jiang, you really look down on Senior Brother Qin Shou. I think Senior Brother Qin is handsome and talented, and his cultivation is not bad either. He is also at the fifth level of the Innate Realm.”

Seeing Qin Shou leave in a daze, Yu Yu's eyes flickered, and she smiled at Jiang Lingyue.

"I don't think so, Senior Sister, you must be joking." Upon hearing this, Jiang Lingyue shook her head directly.

"Do you really think that Senior Brother Qin Shou, such an outstanding man, is inferior to your brother-in-law, Junior Sister Jiang?" Yu Yu continued. "Of course he's inferior, my brother-in-law is much better than him..." Jiang Lingyue stopped mid-sentence, feeling a tickle in her head.

"Senior Sister Yu, what are you saying? What brother-in-law? My relationship with my brother-in-law is purely platonic." Jiang Lingyue said righteously.

Jiang Lingyue didn't expect that Senior Sister Yu Yu would suddenly pull such a move; she really almost didn't catch it!

After listening to Jiang Lingyue's words, Yu Yu smiled and did not ask what the abrupt end of her words meant.

Jiang Lingyue's starry eyes flickered, and she decided to contact Lu Ye using the communication jade tablet after returning home.

...

On the other side, on the bank of the underground river.

As Lu Ye continued to repair it, the sealing power permeating the entire underground space grew stronger and stronger.

However, it does not impose any restrictions on cultivators; it can only precisely restrict the Yin spirits that emerge from the River of Souls.

The name "Soul River" was given to it by Lu Ye based on the characteristics of this pitch-black river.

Just then, the communication jade tablet suddenly made a sound again.

Taking advantage of the break between finishing inscribing a formation, Lu Ye took out the jade tablet, received the message, and found it was from Ling Yue.

[Brother-in-law! Your communication jade tablet is finally working again! Some Holy Son of Yuanyang Palace wants to challenge you to a duel. Did you know about this? If you ask me, we should just ignore him!]

Jiang Lingyue did think before she spoke.

Instead of saying, "Brother-in-law, if you can't beat him, we'll ignore him," we avoided the topic altogether.

Upon seeing this message, Lu Ye laughed, realizing he had noticed some of Jiang Lingyue's clever tricks.

It's quite something that she's thinking about these things.

As for the challenge from the Holy Son of Yuanyang Palace...

Lu Ye revealed a thoughtful expression: "Could it be that he has been holding a grudge about the Azure Lotus Seed incident?"

After all, his conflict with Yuan Yang Shengzi was actually only this one.

"The boundless sea, I will go there if I have the time."

Narrowing his eyes, Lu Ye told Jiang Lingyue not to worry, as his most important task at the moment was to completely repair the sealing formation in this area.

No need to worry, I'll take care of it when I have the time.

When the message reached Jiang Lingyue, she was still somewhat worried.

She knew that her brother-in-law was the kind of person who only reported good news and not bad.

Whatever difficulties I faced, I took them all on myself, and what I presented was always the positive side.

Since her brother-in-law didn't want her to worry, Jiang Lingyue didn't say much. After telling Lu Ye to be careful, Jiang Lingyue didn't continue to distract him.

After putting down the communication jade tablet, Jiang Lingyue said angrily, "This Holy Son Yuan Yang is really hateful. If I become a Grandmaster of Alchemy in the future, I will definitely ask someone to settle things for him!"

If she really becomes a master alchemist, then this statement is no joke.

A master alchemist can easily gather a large number of powerful individuals.

Unless it's something too difficult, these people will do their best to help a master alchemist complete the task assigned to them.

At this moment, Jiang Lingyue, who had just returned to her small courtyard, headed towards Danfeng again.

To become a grandmaster alchemist, one must first advance to become a fifth-tier alchemy master! (End of Chapter)
