Hearing this voice, Jiang Lingyue, who was serving food, couldn't help but tremble, causing half a spoonful to fall.

Upon turning around, she saw her sister standing curiously behind her, also holding a food container.

"Ah... Sister, you're here to get food too." Jiang Lingyue pretended to be calm, as if she wasn't secretly preparing nutritional supplements for Lu Ye behind her sister's back.

"Yes, I'm also bringing some food over to Lu Ye." Jiang Qingge nodded gently.

Immediately, she looked at her sister's complexion and then at the spoonful of Cordyceps Lamb Waist still suspended in mid-air, and expressed concern, "You've been training hard, you ought to eat more to replenish yourself. If it's not enough, help yourself to more."

Jiang Lingyue: "..."

Even if she needs to replenish, it shouldn't be with these "supplements"; they are meant for Lu Ye to replenish his Primordial Energy...

Hearing her sister was going to bring food to Lu Ye, Jiang Lingyue instinctively wanted to put down the spoonful.

After all, with her sister going, it's not suitable for her to go there; it wouldn't be good if her sister overthought things.

"You don't like this dish?" Jiang Qingge asked curiously when she saw Jiang Lingyue intending to put the spoon down.

"Ah... I do like it. It's just that you being here startled me and made me drop quite a bit. I'm just scooping it back up." Jiang Lingyue quickly scooped another spoonful and placed it in the food container.

"Sister, you go serve the meal for Lu—for brother-in-law, I'll head back to eat first."

Moments later, Jiang Lingyue hastily grabbed the food container and fled the dining hall.

...

When Jiang Qingge arrived at Lu Ye's small courtyard, she saw Lu Ye holding a book and reading.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Jiang Qingge raised the food container in her hand and said, "I brought some food for you."

The book in Lu Ye's hand was the Array Dao Full Explanation he obtained from the peak Grandmaster's secret cache last time.

The deeper Lu Ye immersed himself in the Dao of Arrays, the more fascinating he found it.

Especially as he was now able to begin crafting Tier One Arrays, his interest in the Array Dao had grown even stronger.

Lu Ye calmly put away the Array Dao Full Explanation and said, "Thanks."

"No need to thank me, this is what I should do." Jiang Qingge opened the food container and took out the dishes one by one.

"I didn't know what you like to eat, so I brought a bit of everything to see if it suits your taste."

Lu Ye nodded and said, "They're all good."

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Qingge said, "I might need to go out for a while tomorrow, to check out a mine."

Seeing Jiang Qingge proactively sharing her schedule, Lu Ye was slightly surprised but then nodded lightly to indicate he heard.

"By the way, here's the silver I promised you a couple of days ago." Jiang Qingge took out four hundred-tael silver notes from her bosom and handed them to Lu Ye.

"Thanks."

"Use them for now, let me know if you run out." Jiang Qingge said with a slight cheerfulness.

Although Lu Ye was still not very talkative, at least he wasn't making her take medicine all the time, which was a good start.

...

Early the next morning, Jiang Qingge took Uncle Liu and headed towards the Jiang Family's Refined Iron Mine.

Having confirmed the news that her sister had indeed left, and after waiting for a good while, Jiang Lingyue finally dared to sneak into Lu Ye's small courtyard.

"I'm so full, I'm so full."

Jiang Lingyue patted her little stomach, her face looking bitter.

After eating so much last night, she felt she still hadn't digested it all even now.

"I was just serving food for you halfway last night when sister came over, almost scaring me to death; luckily, I'm brave and careful!"

"..."

Lu Ye never thought she had anything to do with those four words.

"Wait until you have the strength, let's see your swordsmanship."

Jiang Lingyue's current strength was already at the Postnatal First Layer, which was quite good for her age.

Lu Ye wasn't aware of how well she had practiced her Sword Dao.

Talking about sword practice, Jiang Lingyue instantly became a bit excited.

She wasn't the swordsmanship novice she used to be!

Ever since she gained some insights from that Memory Stone last time, Jiang Lingyue felt her swordsmanship had improved rapidly lately.

The Fine Rain Sword Technique had directly advanced to the Great Success Realm, making her combat power significantly stronger than before.

Now that Lu Ye was asking, Jiang Lingyue thought, Lu Ye used to mock her for being mediocre, calling her swordsmanship mediocre as well...

Now was the perfect time to show this bad guy her skill!

Jiang Lingyue wasn't made of clay.

"Okay! Let me rest for a bit." Jiang Lingyue put on a serious expression, as if trying hard to summon the aura of a no-nonsense Sword Dao master.

Seeing Jiang Lingyue in this state, Lu Ye was slightly surprised, could it be she actually achieved something?

He had instructed Jiang Lingyue quite a bit before; now, had she finally absorbed all those teachings?

After a while, feeling that she'd digested enough and it wouldn't affect her performance, Jiang Lingyue immediately stood up.

"Swish!"

An Autumn Water Longsword appeared in her hand.

Seeing Jiang Lingyue's starting stance, Lu Ye raised an eyebrow.

With his understanding of Sword Dao now, he could confidently claim to be the number one in the Northern Territory.

At this moment, he immediately recognized that this girl's momentum seemed much stronger than before.

When the familiar Fine Rain Sword Technique was exhibited again, Lu Ye confirmed this suspicion.

Silently, Jiang Lingyue had actually practiced this swordsmanship to the Great Success Realm.

A series of flowing sword lights flashed, and the three moves of the Fine Rain Sword Technique presented smoothly before Lu Ye.

Whiz whiz whiz whiz...

When the last move, also the most powerful one, the Rain Falling into the Celestial River, appeared.

Lu Ye immediately recognized that her way of exerting force and her habits were almost similar to his own.

"Looks like, she actually listened to the previous guidance." Seeing this, Lu Ye nodded with slight satisfaction.

For someone like Jiang Lingyue, a Martial Arts Cultivator without a Golden Finger who relies solely on herself, it's better to practice intensively than extensively.

Mastering one martial art to a profound level is far better than being proficient in many martial arts.

Moments later, the sky-wide Fine Rain Sword light vanished, having consumed a lot of Inner Qi in a short time, Jiang Lingyue panted slightly and said.

"Whew... Bad guy, how's my swordsmanship? I've comprehended a trace of Sword Dao from a top-notch expert! Learned from that expert!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye had some doubts, wasn't her Sword Dao pretty much identical to his own?

Learned from whom? Who else could have Sword Dao identical to Lu Ye's?

Lu Ye asked blandly, "Learned from whom?"

"You have taught me many times before; it's just that I was too dense." Jiang Lingyue said with some embarrassment, "When you taught me, I didn't listen well or understand what was happening..."

Speaking of which, Jiang Lingyue took out the small Memory Stone that she always kept close.

Her maturing, perfectly shaped face carried a hint of reverence.

"Recently, I saw the swordsmanship of a mysterious top-notch expert renowned in the Northern Territory. That's when I finally understood some things."
