The clash of the two major forces spread quickly everywhere.

When Lu Ye arrived at the next small town and heard about this news, he couldn't help but have a slightly strange expression.

Elder of the Three Yin Sect? Elder of the Cyan Thunder Sect?

It seems... they were both instantly taken out by him.

If this were in the Assassin Realm, these two achievements would probably be enough to promote Lu Ye to a Gold Medal Assassin.

Now that the blame was placed on others, Lu Ye was happy to extricate himself.

...

...

A few days later, Lu Ye successfully advanced to the Innate Seventh Layer!

The Myriad Dao Pavilion was fully charged, and this time, what he drew was not an elixir, but a rare seal technique martial technique called the "Four Divine Ancient Seals"!

Seal techniques are even rarer than finger techniques.

If out of ten thousand martial artists, there might be one or two who cultivate finger techniques.

Then seal techniques... perhaps one in a hundred thousand martial artists might not cultivate them!

Throughout history, the creation of seal techniques has been exceedingly rare.

But seal techniques have one characteristic... almost none are of the low tier.

At the very least, they are guaranteed to be of the Profound Tier Medium or Upper Grade.

After Lu Ye successfully received all the information about the Four Divine Ancient Seals, a rare hint of shock flashed in his eyes.

This seal technique has a total of four seals, each corresponding to one of the Four Divine Beasts.

Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, Black Tortoise.

And this time, what was drawn was not the complete Four Divine Seals, but only the cultivation methods for two of the seal techniques, essentially fragments.

But even as fragments... the information Lu Ye received was still a Celestial Tier Martial Technique!!

Could the complete Four Divine Ancient Seals... have surpassed the Celestial Tier level?!

The ones he got, named the Vermilion Bird Seal and Black Tortoise Seal, conveniently focus on both offense and defense.

Lu Ye immediately found time to cultivate during the night while on the road, but it was no wonder that even the fragments could reach the Celestial Tier, a formidable martial technique.

It took several days, and after the power of Hundredfold Amplification, he barely reached the entry realm.

...

...

The three of them walked along, and as they approached Cloud Leaf City, Lu Ye said casually, "I'll teach you two more finger techniques."

Now at the Innate Seventh Layer, even those at the Innate Ninth Layer wouldn't intimidate Lu Ye.

Before leaving the Jiang Family, he had already taught the complete Mountain Splitting Finger to Jiang Lingyue.

He found this lively girl who was close to him quite pleasing to the eye.

"Huh? Brother-in-law, you found the follow-up cultivation method for that finger technique?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lingyue was instantly excited, never suspecting that Lu Ye had previously withheld the information, but rather assuming he had found the follow-up magic technique.

Lu Ye: "..."

He had often heard that there are people who, after being sold by others, would even help count the money.

At that moment, Lu Ye truly witnessed it, thinking this foolish girl... probably had water in her head.

Subsequently, Lu Ye handed the remaining two Mountain Splitting Fingers to Jiang Lingyue.

Jiang Qingge didn't understand martial technique cultivation, but she always felt... Lu Ye seemed to be explaining something.

Sure enough, two days later, after officially returning to the Jiang Family in Cloud Leaf City.

In Jiang Qingge's small courtyard.

"What did you say?! You're leaving?!"

Jiang Qingge raised her eyes, somewhat incredulous.

Just now, Lu Ye had proposed leaving the Jiang Family!

She thought that during this time of pretending, they didn't seem as antagonistic as before.

But Jiang Qingge didn't expect that this person had planned to leave long ago!

"You living in the outer courtyard is indeed inappropriate, I can arrange for you to move to the inner courtyard." Jiang Qingge said, biting her lip.

"It's not about where I live." Lu Ye shook his head calmly, "I have my own matters to attend to."

His own matters?

Isn't it just wanting to earn silver?

Jiang Qingge took out forty taels of silver from the room and handed it to him.

"This is what I promised you before... if you lack silver, you can tell me, whatever I can give, I will give you. Your current priority is to seriously cultivate in Martial Dao."

Jiang Qingge thought Lu Ye wanted to move out of the Jiang Family for convenience in earning money.

After accepting the pouch of money, Lu Ye turned and left, "No need, I've already decided to leave today."

Listening to these absolutely heartless words and watching Lu Ye's decisively leaving figure, a wave of anger surged up in Jiang Qingge's heart once again.

She had coaxed him so much... was his heart made of stone?!

How can it be so hard and ruthless!

Watching as he completely disappeared from the small courtyard, a hint of sadness appeared on Jiang Qingge's face.

"Go on, go on, and don't come back once you're gone."

...

...

In the small courtyard of the outer courtyard.

"Young master, what did you say? You're leaving?"

Qing Yu widened her eyes, even stopping her laundry motions, shocked.

Why leave when everything is fine in the Jiang Family?

With a nod, Lu Ye stuffed some of his belongings into the Storage Ring and smiled, "Thank you for washing my clothes and cleaning for me during this time."

Seeing the warm smile on the young master's face, Qing Yu suddenly mustered the courage to say, "Um... young master, Qing Yu would still like to cook and clean for you. Can I go with you?"

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye realized he might indeed need someone to help manage his daily affairs.

Nodding, Lu Ye said, "Wait for me here for a moment, I'm going to have a word."

Qing Yu was sold to the Jiang Mansion as a maid from a young age, and her contract of indenture was still with the Jiang Family.

If he wanted to take her along, he naturally needed to negotiate with the Jiang Family.

Qing Yu quickly nodded her little head, "Mm-hmm! Don't worry, young master, Qing Yu will certainly serve you well!"

In the small courtyard.

Jiang Qingge sat by the stone table, staring blankly at the trees in the courtyard, somewhat lost.

The images from these past days kept appearing in her mind.

At one point, Jiang Qingge thought she and Lu Ye... were actually supposed to be like this.

But Lu Ye's proposal to leave today woke Jiang Qingge up immediately... He still didn't like her at all.

Even though the falling flowers had gradually shown interest... the flowing water remained unfeeling.

Just then, unmasked footsteps were once again heard outside.

Soon, Lu Ye's figure appeared at the entrance of the courtyard.

Upon hearing the commotion, Jiang Qingge hurriedly wiped her slightly moist eyes, then turned to see Lu Ye, a slight surprise flashing in her eyes.

"You're... you're not leaving?"

Seeing Jiang Qingge, who seemed to have been crying, Lu Ye's expression was a little strange. Then he calmly said, "I came to ask you... can I take Qing Yu with me? I'm used to her."

Jiang Qingge: "??? ?"

This person not only intended to leave but planned to take a maid with him too?!

The annoyed Jiang Qingge gritted her teeth and said, "Go ahead, just go ahead! If you want her, you can take her!"

Nodding, Lu Ye left once more.

He could tell Jiang Qingge's condition wasn't right, but he couldn't be bothered to deal with it.

A moment later, Lu Ye left the Jiang Family in Cloud Leaf City, where he had stayed for nearly a year, with Qing Yu.

On the other side.

When Jiang Lingyue completed a full practice of the Mountain Splitting Finger in her small courtyard, she was a bit excited and wanted to find Lu Ye to share her success.

But when she reached the familiar small courtyard in the outer yard, Jiang Lingyue found that, at some point... the place had become deserted.
