Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Lu Ye looked up at the vast sky, a slight smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Chen Lingxiang, at the age of twenty-eight, had reached the Innate Second Layer, was regarded as the greatest talent of the Innate Clans, and famed far and wide.

So... what about him, Lu Ye?

Now, just in his early twenties, if he calculated carefully, it hasn't even been a year from his entry into the Red Cloud Sect to joining the Jiang Family.

With a little bit of effort on his part, and a bit of help from his golden finger...

He ultimately reached the pinnacle of the Innate Second Layer Realm!

After all, being a transmigrator, his mindset was exceptional. Soon, Lu Ye's mood returned to calmness, his expression serene.

Looking at the surrounding dense forest slowly filling with Heaven and Earth Source Qi as if it were a vacuum, Lu Ye activated his body technique and left in an instant.

Returning to Cloud Leaf City peacefully all the way, as soon as he stepped into the Jiang family, Lu Ye sensed something unusual.

"Guests at the Jiang Family?"

After pondering for a moment, three words surfaced in Lu Ye's mind.

Red Cloud Sect.

Last night, Jiang Qingge insisted on letting him stay at her small courtyard, wasn't it to deal with the arrival of people from the Red Cloud Sect?

Now, given this scene, it must be that the people of Red Cloud Sect have finally arrived.

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Ye returned to the small courtyard in Zone C, he heard Qing Yu say, "Mister, you're back? Someone just said that if you return, please go to the inner courtyard hall quickly; guests from the Red Cloud Sect have arrived."

After a brief contemplation, Lu Ye headed towards the Jiang family hall.

He wanted to see who exactly the Red Cloud Sect would send over.

In the hall.

Jiang Lianshan looked at Lu Ye, who walked into the courtyard with a tranquil demeanor, and his eyes slightly brightened.

Although he always somewhat underestimated this son-in-law's talent, he had to admit that just from appearance alone, he did match well with his daughter.

"Lu Ye is here? These are the Red Cloud Fairy's true disciple and the Third Peak's true disciple, who have come a long way from the Red Cloud Sect, you haven't seen each other in a while, have a good chat."

Since the Red Cloud Sect was willing to feign ignorance and continue to bolster the Jiang Family, Jiang Lianshan naturally had no reason to object and followed directly along with Su Wan's previous words.

At this moment, both sides tacitly "forgot" Lu Ye's earlier identity as a servant disciple.

As if Lu Ye truly were an Inner Sect Disciple of the Red Cloud Sect.

Su Wan's gaze naturally fell on this servant junior brother who had married into the family.

Originally, she thought that once his identity was exposed, this half-year of marriage would have completely crushed what little dignity this servant disciple had.

But now upon seeing...

It seemed not to be the case.

Calm, confident, and composed!

These were the three adjectives that suddenly popped into Su Wan's mind when she saw Lu Ye enter the hall.

In Su Wan's view, even among the sect, some real Inner Sect disciples might not nurture such an aura.

Is this... really a servant disciple who married in?

Some inexplicable curiosity arose in her heart, and Su Wan gave Lu Ye a slight smile.

"Junior Brother Lu, long time no see, want to go outside for a stroll?"

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Ye nodded.

Although he didn't know Su Wan, it didn't stop him from playing along, just go along with the act.

Jiang Qingge was sitting on a chair, watching as the two ladies from the Red Cloud Sect took her nominal husband out of the hall.

From beginning to end, Lu Ye... seemed not to have glanced at her even once.

Does it hurt?

Jiang Qingge thought seriously, and felt it did a little bit.

But she also understood that the attitude she had initially might account for a large part of why things have come to this.

After all, regardless of whether Jiang Lingyue could truly achieve the Innate level in the future, and whether the marriage contract would be dissolved, Lu Ye was ultimately her husband, whom she had truly bowed before the hall with.

Though others called her the number one fairy of Cloud Leaf City, her own husband was indifferent to her.

This disparity caused a trace of confusion to appear in Jiang Qingge's eyes.

"Could it be... I really was wrong then?"

...

In the Jiang Family courtyard, three figures were walking aimlessly.

"Junior Brother Lu, are you accustomed to living here in the Jiang Family?" Su Wan asked with a smile.

Lu Ye shook his head lightly and said, "Miss Su, I am no longer a disciple of the Red Cloud Sect, just call me Lu Ye."

Hearing this, Su Wan was slightly stunned and took a closer look at this long-heard-of servant disciple.

Others regarded being a disciple of the Red Cloud Sect as a protective charm while traversing the Northern Territory of Xuanzhou; Lu Ye, however, relinquished it on his own?

After all, even as a servant, being from the Red Cloud Sect would make others afford some respect in the face of average forces.

"Confident, and somewhat unique."

This thought silently emerged in Su Wan's mind.

With a slight smile, Su Wan said, "I call you Junior Brother Lu, standing in a position of equals, not from my sect identity."

Lu Ye glanced at her, realizing Su Wan was definitely under thirty, yet she was an Innate and at the Innate Fourth Layer!

No wonder she was a true disciple under the esteemed position of the sect leader of the Red Cloud Sect.

This kind of talent was definitely stronger than Chen Lingxiang, the greatest talent of the Innate Clans.

No wonder the Three Great Sects had always looked down from high above, generally dismissing the lower Innate Clans.

The strength of a true disciple could rival most Innate Clans that only had an ancestor to rely on.

Their foundation was indeed much stronger than those of the Innate Clans with only few hundred years of history.

"Oh, Junior Brother Lu, you're at the Condensing Origin Seventh Layer now? Congratulations." Su Wan curiously probed into Lu Ye's strength after a moment and was quite surprised.

It's heard that this Junior Brother Lu, when he was sent here to marry in, was only at the Condensing Origin First Layer.

Now, almost half a year later, he had progressed rapidly.

Of course, in her heart, Su Wan actually didn't quite agree with the practice of disciples marrying in.

Even if he was a servant disciple.

Marrying in... had never been a glorious affair.

However, since her master, the Red Cloud Fairy, led the Red Cloud Sect to greater heights, possessing supreme authority within the sect.

Even the several great Elders of the sect didn't dare to casually contradict the opinions of the Red Cloud Fairy.

Let alone Su Wan, as just a disciple under her, had even less say.

With a slight smile, Lu Ye said, "Thank you, Senior Sister Su."

In the Martial Arts Cultivation Realm, there were generally only three kinds of associations, insects, friends or peers referred to as senior or junior fellow disciples, and above, were seniors.

After displaying his Condensing Origin Seventh Layer strength.

Su Wan, putting aside her Innate identity, still wanted to engage with him as equals, naturally, Lu Ye couldn't refuse.

"Junior Brother Lu, have you been living comfortably here?" Su Wan asked.

Lu Ye said calmly, "As someone married in, what comfort or lack of it is there to talk about?"

Sighing inwardly, Su Wan already heard from this sentence.

This servant junior brother has been living... probably not so well here.

"Junior Brother Lu, the Inner Sect disciples who were talking nonsense at the wedding feast have already gone to the Black Stone Wilderness to open up new territory."

Open up new territory?

The Red Cloud Sect actually arranged for them to do that?

No matter what the Red Cloud Sect subsequently did, Lu Ye already had no sense of belonging to this sect.
