At this moment, even though he warned himself not to let his mind wander, if the Youluo Sect Leader found out, he would definitely not have a good time.

But Ren Tieying couldn't help but have a suspicion... Could this black-robed man be the lover of the cold and domineering Youluo Sect Leader?!

It's important to note that taking out ten Source Crystals at once is a big deal in the Realm of Chaos.

Calculating its value, Ren Tieying felt like his heart was bleeding.

The last time he gobbled up the assets left by the Blood Evil Sect, it was probably not worth these ten Source Crystals, and it might take several years to earn it back.

However, in the Realm of Chaos, if you offend the Youluo Sect Leader... don't think about the future anymore, let alone living a good life.

Although the Youluo Sect Leader told him to lay down Source Crystals as an apology, Ren Tieying could see that the Youluo Sect Leader didn't really care for these things; it was mainly because the young man beside her had spoken.

However, because he left in a hurry, Ren Tieying didn't have any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on him. Apart from the Source Crystals, he only had several hundred thousand silver notes in his Storage Ring.

These silver notes, besides his own, also included two or three hundred thousand, gained from previously dividing the liquid assets of the Blood Evil Sect.

Gritting his teeth, Ren Tieying took out all the five to six hundred thousand silver notes from his Storage Ring.

"Sect Leader, I left in a hurry, and apart from these mundane items, I have nothing else. I hope you don't mind."

Since he had planned to come and apologize, Ren Tieying knew it was best to satisfy the other party, otherwise, the effect of the apology would be greatly diminished.

Silver can be used to buy Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, various resources, and is also a hard currency on the continent.

...

Several minutes later, a still trembling yet slightly relieved Ren Tieying left.

Youluo handed the ten Source Crystals she received to Lu Ye, along with those silver notes, and stuffed them all to him.

"Here, take them."

"You don't want them?" Lu Ye was a bit surprised. "Shall we split them fifty-fifty?"

"You take them all, I still have some." Youluo shook her head and said, "The Youluo Sect's warehouse still has twenty or thirty Source Crystals, and there's also several hundred thousand of flowing silver, all accumulated over the years."

In Youluo's mind, Lu Ye was no longer an outsider.

As someone by the master's side, it was only natural to obtain some cultivation resources for the master's husband.

Looking at Youluo, Lu Ye asked, "Do they know you are a woman?"

After pondering for a while, Youluo nodded and said, "Not many people know, only a few Elders of the Youluo Sect and two other Sect Leaders, after all, Youluo isn't a little girl, and a black robe can't fully conceal my figure."

"In the past, in fact, there were some rumors in the Realm of Chaos saying that the Youluo Sect Leader seemed to be female, but no one dared to confirm it."

Lu Ye nodded, indeed. Even in a black robe, Youluo is noticeably larger than Jiang Lingyue, making it apparent she is a woman.

"It won't be long before the outside world begins to speculate about my identity." Lu Ye said flatly, "Being able to appear beside you, the Youluo Sect Leader, is sure to pique the curiosity of some forces."

To this, Youluo wasn't surprised. Her Youluo Sect was the number one in the Realm of Chaos, it is quite normal to be under many watchful eyes.

"Don't worry, when Bai Changhe came over before, he already had people confiscate and destroy the Memory Stones of those who were watching, preventing them from making money by selling footage of me."

Hearing this, Lu Ye nodded, "I saw it."

When Bai Changhe arrived with his people, his subordinates immediately moved like wolves, rushing to the Martial Artists who were secretly recording all around and taking their Memory Stones.

Most of those Martial Artists were in the Late Stage Condensing Origin and Postnatal Realm, seeing their chance to strike it rich cut off, didn't dare say much.

...

In the City of Chaos.

At this moment, the large city was abuzz with discussions.

"I only learned today that the mysterious Youluo Sect Leader is actually a woman!"

"I originally recorded the Youluo Sect Leader's image, but unfortunately... sigh."

"You dare to record? It's already kind of them not to break your hand! Count yourself lucky."

"Who is that black-robed man beside the Youluo Sect Leader?"

"I don't know, I've never seen him before, probably not from our Realm of Chaos, could he be the Sect Leader's... that?!"

"What do you mean by that?"

Such conversations occurred all over the City of Chaos.

The dominating Youluo Sect Leader turned out to be a woman, and this time, she returned to the Realm of Chaos with her alleged lover!

Unfortunately, despite the news circulating wildly, whenever someone talked about the appearance of the Youluo Sect Leader and her rumored lover, no one could give a clear description.

After all, without sharp eyes, who could see through the black robes to discern what they looked like?

When these rumors reached Youluo's ears, she felt somewhat helpless.

That is the master's husband, not her lover!

At most, it's... before the master's Nine Nether Celestial Phoenix Technique achieves Great Success, should any impulsiveness arise... she would take the lead instead.

At night, Youluo directly arranged Lu Ye's residence next to hers.

This made not only the outside world speculate incessantly but even Bai Changhe, an elder of the Youluo Sect, privately wonder... Is this man really the male master of the Youluo Sect?!

Otherwise, how could the accommodation be arranged so... conveniently?

...

The city was full of whispers, and the two didn't stay long in the Youluo Sect. After one day, they prepared to set off and leave for Cloud Leaf City.

They left the City of Chaos without alerting anyone.

Besides informing the Youluo Sect Elders who stayed behind to send messages if something came up, Youluo and Lu Ye secretly left the City of Chaos, which was still buzzing with chatter about their identities.

They didn't waste any time on the road, given their traveling abilities, there was no need to say much.

Half a day later, after traveling swiftly, they had already reached the vicinity of Cloud Leaf City.

At this time, Jiang Family was eagerly anticipating and endlessly watching out for Lu Ye's return while simultaneously wishing he would return later.

That way, they could stay at home for a few more days.

Next door, Jiang Qingge was...

"Clatter!"

Jiang Qingge had just picked up the teapot, thirsty and wanting to pour a cup of water to drink.

But the usually sturdy teapot handle seemed to have become fragile, cracking with a snap and breaking apart.

Jiang Qingge: "..."

Just now, she seemed to feel a faint current of energy appear within her body.

After that, she became incredibly strong, able to easily snap the teapot handle that would normally never break.

"I remember, before leaving, Lu Ye told me that nighttime is when I can speed up my path to cultivation..."
