Jiang Lingyue was completely immersed in the scene of a sword strike stirring the sword qi within a radius of three thousand meters, while rivers burst open, yet she hadn't recovered her wits.
Suddenly, she felt someone gently pat her on the shoulder from behind.
Perplexed, she turned around and immediately exclaimed, "Jiang Qingge? Or rather... Sister?"
Jiang Qingge: "??"
This was the first time since coming of age that she heard her younger sister directly call her by her first name.
Suddenly, many gazes followed her exclamation and fell on the two of them.
"Is this the Jiang Qingge of the Jiang Family, regarded as the number one beauty of Cloud Leaf City? Truly a fairy descended to the mortal realm."
"No wonder this little girl looks a bit like the eldest daughter of the Jiang Family, turns out she's her younger sister. However... these two sisters seem to have some discord?"
After all, if they were harmonious, it should be a loving brotherhood and deep sisterly affection, it's unusual for a younger sister to call her elder sister directly by name.
Many attendees, who were locals of Cloud Leaf City, began to whisper among themselves.
Noticing the slight astonishment on her sister's face, Jiang Lingyue nervously scratched her head, "Well... I slept too late last night, feeling a bit woozy. Sister, why have you come too?"
Last night she smelled her sister's scent on that bad person, making Jiang Lingyue a bit upset and she accidentally called out Jiang Qingge.
Just now, seeing her suddenly, she didn't react in time and blurted it out...
Previously, Jiang Qingge showed no interest in battles among martial artists, and Jiang Lingyue never thought that she'd one day see her sister outside the Martial Arts Cultivator battleground.
Somehow, after Lu Ye returned for the second time, her sister seemed like a different person?
"With nothing to do, I heard there's a rare Grandmaster Realm battle here, so I came to watch," Jiang Qingge replied softly.
With nothing to do... yet rode a horse here, still slightly out of breath?
This clearly doesn't seem like a state of having nothing to do, but rather one of rushing over urgently and being anxious about it.
Jiang Lingyue looked at the fast horse not far behind her sister and then at Jiang Qingge, a hint of doubt appeared in her heart.
Though she usually doesn't use her brain much, something about these words didn't sound right.
...
In midair on the battlefield.
Lu Ye effortlessly descended.
Under the shocked gaze of countless spectators, he casually took the Storage Ring from the hands of the short, thin, masked old Grandmaster and collected the spoils from Blood Evil.
As for the veil on Su Yan's face, Lu Ye didn't pull it off.
The majority of onlookers could discern the full-on-handed Su Yan's origin, so Lu Ye naturally knew as well.
This person likely had ties with the Cyan Thunder Sect.
After all, even knowing it's the Cyan Thunder Sect, few in the Northern Territory would dare to voice support for Lu Ye.
And to pull off Su Yan's veil would be akin to tearing off the Cyan Thunder Sect's covering veil.
Such a millennia-old sect would undoubtedly possess the Sect's Sacred Artifact.
Qingxuanzi was a previous Northern Territory genius and had succeeded as Sect Leader for decades, long reaching Grandmaster Sixth Layer, stronger than Su Yan.
If he carried the Sect's Sacred Artifact and recklessly dashed to Cloud Leaf City, it would still be quite troublesome.
As a transmigrator, receiving years of knowledge and experience from Blue Star, Lu Ye knew well that a cornered enemy could be dangerous, and there was no need to push one of the Three Great Sects—the Cyan Thunder Sect—into a complete frenzy leading to desperate destruction.
With his current terrifying advancement speed, even if Qingxuanzi whipped out the Sect's Sacred Artifacts in a few months... it would no longer pose any threat.
Possessing a Golden Finger, Lu Ye wouldn't pick fights he wasn't completely certain of winning.
Moments later, Lu Ye took out two bottles of Bone-Dissolving Powder to dispose of the two corpses directly.
The entire process watched silently by Red Cloud Fairy, with a trace of shock flashing through her eyes once again.
"He actually managed to hold back... and didn't pull off Su Yan's veil?!"
"Such composure, such seasoned handling!"
If it were anyone else, Red Cloud Fairy believed, almost none could resist exposing Su Yan's identity, greatly damaging the Cyan Thunder Sect's reputation.
But in doing so, it would undoubtedly face a full-force retaliation from the Cyan Thunder Sect!
Yet to casually handle Su Yan's corpse in such a manner, in her position, even she, if not a Sect Leader beholden to the big picture, would consider exposure.
However, the person opposite didn't hesitate and opted for a harmless resolution of Su Yan... very composed!
This kind of martial artist, possessing a sense of the larger picture and composure, made the Red Cloud Fairy crave all the more.
The sect within lacks such figures who not only possess Martial Dao but also brains.
After pondering for a moment, Red Cloud Fairy clenched her teeth.
Even if the chances were slim, she still wished to have a conversation, to see if there was even the slightest opportunity.
If the opposite party agreed, she could immediately offer the position of Vice Sect Leader, and even half her authority!
As Lu Ye had just handled the two corpses in one go on the plains, his peripheral vision caught the approaching Red Cloud Fairy in black.
Afraid of her intentions being misconstrued, Red Cloud Fairy quickly stated, "Friend, got a moment? Why don't we have a talk?"
"No time." Lu Ye frowned slightly, his voice somewhat coarse.
Red Cloud Fairy: "..."
If someone else spoke to her like this, even if it were last night's Red Cloud Sect disciple Lu Ye.
At most, she could tolerate this impatient tone once or twice for the sake of sending Lu Ye off in matrimony back then.
But facing this mysterious newly ascended Martial Dao Grandmaster, Red Cloud Fairy found her temper surprisingly improved.
"Friend, I... am Red Cloud, you should have heard of me."
Lu Ye spoke with a slight hint of impatience, "Heard of you, so what? If there's nothing, then please leave."
Red Cloud Fairy: "..."
This newly promoted Martial Dao Grandmaster, so volatile in temper?
Situations like this, it used to be her treating others in this manner, and now it's unexpectedly reversed on her.
For that slight possible chance, for the potential to strengthen the Red Cloud Sect, Red Cloud Fairy didn't get angry at all and continued in a calm manner.
"Friend, I just wish to converse with you, it's crowded here, not very convenient..."
After thinking for a moment, Red Cloud Fairy raised her wrist.
A sparkling Source Crystal quietly appeared in her palm, revealing a corner, just enough for Lu Ye to see.
"You are also a Martial Dao Grandmaster, you should recognize this, it benefits our Grandmaster Realm cultivation."
After a pause, Red Cloud Fairy continued, "If you're willing to talk with me, I can give you... how about five Source Crystals?"
Red Cloud Fairy knew well, no pain, no gain.
Which Martial Dao Grandmaster could remain indifferent to a Source Crystal?
She brought out five at once, just for a chance to talk.
Red Cloud Fairy didn't believe the opponent could still refrain from being tempted!
Sure enough, Lu Ye's eyes slightly moved, just a conversation, yet she's willing to give five Source Crystals?
This woman, Red Cloud Fairy, indeed... has some daring!
