Lu Ye was initially taken aback by the statement.

Then, as he looked at the Memory Stone, he seemed to think of something, and his expression became slightly strange.

The so-called "mysterious top master" Jiang Lingyue mentioned, could it be... him?

After all, the scene of the sword slashing the Dragon at Yinmang Mountain had already been spread throughout the Northern Territory via the Memory Stone.

Some people with too much time on their hands even named him the "Dragon Slayer Grandmaster," and this story had become widely spread by the storytellers in the teahouses.

So, after all this roundabout work, Jiang Lingyue still learned her Sword Dao from him.

Lu Ye understood Jiang Lingyue's words; at the time he instructed her, he was not yet a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Back then, although he had achieved Perfection in the Fine Rain Sword Technique, his comprehension of the Sword Dao wasn't as profound as it is now.

Now, with a deeper understanding of the Sword Dao, even a casual move from Lu Ye might carry the Sword Momentum that countless Sword Dao cultivators would envy!

If anything were to be understood from his Sword Dao, now would be the better time.

The next second, Jiang Lingyue activated the Memory Stone again, and as the first scene appeared, Lu Ye confirmed... it was indeed him.

Looking at the scene where he had previously slain the Flood Dragon with a sword, Lu Ye said, "So handsome?"

Jiang Lingyue replied seriously, "In Lingyue's heart, no one is more handsome than you!"

She meant it sincerely, even though she had gained some insight from the Sword Dao of this top master.

But without a doubt, the Lu Ye she liked was the most handsome man in the world!

No one else could compare, regardless of whether they were a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Hearing this, Lu Ye couldn't help but chuckle and knocked her on the head, "Sweet talker."

"It's not sweet talk. I'm being sincere," Jiang Lingyue muttered quietly, "I'm clumsy with words, always afraid of saying something wrong."

"Originally, the family wanted me to manage some business, and I even inspected a few stores before."

Jiang Lingyue said, "But I don't have the talent for it, so I left it all to my sister."

Hearing this, Lu Ye said, "She does have a bit of talent in that area."

"Yes, and the more business my sister controls in the family, the more say she has, and she won't have to do things she doesn't like."

At this point, Jiang Lingyue stole a couple of glances at Lu Ye, a bit shy, and said,

"If two years ago, my sister had this much business... do you think it might have been Lingyue who married you, the bad guy?"

If so, she wouldn't have to wait for her sister to retreat, and then eagerly take over.

"How could that be?" Lu Ye said with some amusement, "Even though your swordsmanship is rather poor, your aptitude is not bad. How could the Jiang Family let someone with such unlimited potential marry off in a union?"

Jiang Lingyue was stunned. Her Fine Rain Sword Technique had already reached Great Success, and this bad guy still said her swordsmanship... was poor?!

She felt a bit frustrated!

...

Soon, three days had passed in a flash.

Early in the morning, various characters could be seen coming from outside Cloud Leaf City, all heading straight to the Bai Chuan Auction.

Among these people, some had received invitations, while others voluntarily paid for entry, either to take in the sights or to bid on something as martial artists.

At this time, inside the auction house, Lu Ye had already changed into his black outfit, arriving here first.

"Young Master Chen, you're here."

Jia Ping immediately stood up to greet him; this was his commission client.

"Yes, I have some matters to attend to later, so I'll give you the Storage Ring now, and you can just auction it later," Lu Ye said blandly.

Hearing this, Jia Ping nodded directly, "No problem, Young Master Chen, I'll arrange it for you."

A moment later, Lu Ye walked out of the appraisal room with a certificate in his Storage Ring, proving that three items were consigned for auction.

Meanwhile, Jiang Lingyue excitedly ran to Lu Ye's small courtyard.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law... eh, where is he?"

The courtyard was empty, and there was no sign of Lu Ye.

Jiang Lingyue was confused; why had Lu Ye disappeared? Suddenly, she shyly thought...

Could it be that in the past couple of days, her battle strength scared away that bad guy?

With that thought, Jiang Lingyue felt a small sense of pride.

Hm! What about Perfect Fine Rain Sword Technique? Didn't she still beat him into a retreat?

Of course, these thoughts were only dared pondered internally, as saying it out loud... might get her hung up by Lu Ye for a beating.

...

On the street, Lu Ye removed his black outfit and arrived at the suburbs, where he had bought a house earlier.

Qing Yu was attentively cleaning the door and windows of Lu Ye's room, meticulously.

Hearing footsteps from outside the courtyard door, Qing Yu was first startled, then turned around to see a figure entering through the door.

Instantly, the cloth in Qing Yu's hand fell to the ground.

"Master? You've returned?!"

Seeing the figure at the courtyard entrance, Qing Yu burst out with immense joy.

Then, feeling her eyes getting slightly teary, she quickly lowered her head to pick up the cloth to cover up, using the back of her hand to wipe them.

Lu Ye gave a slight smile, his gaze swept over the standing Qing Yu who picked up the cloth, and his eyes suddenly focused, the smile fading as an indistinct ripple flashed around him.

"What's with your face?"

On Qing Yu's cheek, there was a very faint palm print!

Even though it was about to disappear, Lu Ye, with his extraordinary senses and keen vision, saw it at a glance.

She had been hit!

"It's nothing, I accidentally bumped into something," Qing Yu said, somewhat flustered.

She had already tried hard to remove the palm print on her face, but unexpectedly, Lu Ye still noticed it at once.

She was just a maid at Jiang Mansion, and he was merely a son-in-law, with neither high status nor favor.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been arranged to live in such a place in the outer courtyard.

So, Qing Yu didn't want to cause her and the master any trouble.

"Qing Yu, do you think I've never read a book? Or do you think something's wrong with my brain?" Lu Ye almost laughed in anger.

Can a collision leave a palm print on one's face? He was only hit by a stroke of luck and transmigrated, but his brain was intact.

"No, Master, don't speak of yourself like that," hearing this, Qing Yu was almost in tears, waving her hands repeatedly.

"Tell me, what happened."

Facing the calm Lu Ye, Qing Yu, for some reason, felt like she was confronting a vast ocean.

Biting her lip, Qing Yu dared not conceal anymore, and softly said,

"It's... it was Liu Er Mazi and Wang San, they are ruffians living in this area. A few days ago, I saw them coming out after drinking some flower wine, and they tried to stop me, saying they wanted to have some fun with me."

"I was really scared at the time. Seeing his hand reaching over, I... I hit his hand and got slapped. When I said I was a maid from the Jiang Family, they stopped."

Upon hearing this, a trace of coldness flashed in Lu Ye's eyes.

A few riffraffs dared to bully someone under his protection.
