"Brother-in-law?"

She called out twice, but there was no response. Jiang Lingyue suddenly felt a bit panicked and somewhat disappointed.

"Could it be that he moved to a new place?" A possibility crossed her mind, and her intelligent eyes lit up slightly.

It must be so!

Recently, the relationship between her sister and Lu Ye seemed to have improved significantly.

After coming back, it would be quite reasonable for her sister to change Stinky Lu Ye's residence.

Thinking this, Jiang Lingyue's mood lifted, and she quickly turned to find Jiang Qingge.

Moments later…

"What did you say?!" Jiang Lingyue exclaimed in shock, "Brother-in-law left?!"

"How could he leave?!"

Jiang Qingge replied quietly, "I don't know either, maybe... the Jiang Family didn't treat him well."

Over the past year, it seemed that the Jiang Family indeed did not give this new son-in-law the respect he deserved.

Those who knew about his identity as a servant disciple didn't take Lu Ye seriously.

Jiang Lingyue hurriedly asked, "Did brother-in-law say where he was going?"

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Qingge shook her head.

That man was quite carefree, he didn't say where he was going at all, he just left with his maid.

Jiang Lingyue was suddenly filled with a sense of emptiness, Lu Ye... just disappeared without a word?

For some reason, Jiang Lingyue suddenly felt a strong discomfort in her heart, as if she had lost something.

On the other side.

Qing Yu followed behind Lu Ye, turning left and right, and finally reached a location near the city outskirts, and they stopped.

Earlier, after meeting Tian Qing, Lu Ye had already found this place.

He spent nearly a hundred taels of silver to buy this courtyard.

It could be considered his first property after crossing into this otherworld.

"Master, is this where we will live?"

Qing Yu stood at the gate of the courtyard, curiously looking around.

"Yes, this is where we will live from now on," Lu Ye said, "I have already bought this courtyard."

Upon hearing this, Qing Yu was shocked.

Bought... bought it?!

Although this place is on the outskirts of the city, any courtyard in Cloud Leaf City would likely cost sixty to seventy taels, right?

How did the master suddenly become so wealthy?

Nonetheless, knowing that this was bought by Lu Ye and not rented, Qing Yu resolved to make sure the courtyard was kept spotlessly clean.

She wanted to ensure that Lu Ye lived comfortably.

...

...

Meanwhile, in Cloud Leaf City.

In a Shang Pavilion, Tian Qing was sitting there, counting the income from these past days.

Since Lu Ye came and gave a large pile of items, asking for ten thousand taels of silver, Tian Qing had kept it firmly in mind.

At this moment, most of the miscellaneous items left by Lu Ye had been sold quickly at market price.

After counting, there was only five or six thousand taels of silver.

There was still quite a gap from the ten thousand taels Lu Ye mentioned.

After a brief contemplation, Tian Qing's face turned serious, and he said, "Take four thousand taels from the Shang Pavilion to make up the remaining silver."

Upon hearing this, several side branches of the Tian Family present were startled.

For the whole Tian Family, several thousand or ten thousand taels could be brought out quite easily.

But they had now completely separated from the Tian Family.

All they had was this small-scale Shang Pavilion.

The monthly profit was only a few hundred to a thousand taels.

Four thousand taels were almost half a year's profit for the Shang Pavilion!

"Ancestor, wouldn't this be too risky?" one of the Tian Family side branches said worriedly, "If we take out these four thousand taels, we'll have to tighten our belts to get by afterwards."

Even though Tian Qing repeatedly said that as long as they steadfastly followed Young Master Chen Beixuan, there would be good days ahead.

In Tian Qing's view, Chen Beixuan was definitely destined for greatness!

But was such a move too risky?

After pondering for a moment, Tian Qing said softly, "Adding flowers to the brocade is safe, but ultimately it's not impressive; only giving charcoal in the snow can win people's hearts."

Right now, he was providing charcoal in the snow for Young Master Chen Beixuan.

In the future, regardless of any achievements, Tian Qing would be one of the original followers!

Since the decision was made to follow, dragging his feet was not Tian Qing's style.

Although the others were still somewhat worried, seeing the ancestor's determination, they exchanged glances and said no more.

...

...

In the courtyard, seeing that Qing Yu adeptly cleaned the courtyard, sweeping away accumulated dust and fallen leaves, Lu Ye said.

"Take a break for now, go pick a room."

"Okay, thank you, master."

A moment later, Qing Yu chose a side room near the kitchen.

"There are several large rooms, why pick such a small one?" Lu Ye laughed, "There's no one else living here, just the two of us."

"No need, no need, I'm fine here." Qing Yu quickly shook her head.

Seeing this, Lu Ye didn't continue persuading. Thinking about the task he had assigned to Tian Qing, those things probably weren't worth ten thousand taels of silver, and he had a pile of things with him now.

It was time to hand them over to Tian Qing for processing.

"Alright, I'm going out for a bit. Don't rush the cleaning, take a break if you get tired," Lu Ye said, then left the courtyard.

Once Lu Ye left, Qing Yu immediately put in even more effort to tidy up the new home.

"How nice." Qing Yu looked at the serene courtyard, a faint, joyful smile appeared on her face.

Meanwhile.

Lu Ye, still wearing black clothing, arrived at the courtyard of a Tian Family side branch.

Before he could handle threats from above Innate, Lu Ye didn't want to reveal his identity.

Tian Qing, who had returned recently, saw the figure in black and promptly stood up, "Young Master Chen, you're here?"

"Hmm," Lu Ye nodded slightly, stepping into the courtyard, just about to take out some recent acquisitions, such as martial arts secret manuals.

Just then, Tian Qing said first, "The ten thousand taels of silver you asked for last time, I've already gathered them, and I'll bring them over right away."

Lu Ye was a bit puzzled.

What he had given shouldn't have fetched ten thousand taels.

As Tian Qing hurriedly brought out two five-thousand-tael silver notes from the house, Lu Ye asked, "Did you sell all the things I gave you?"

"All sold."

"Those things weren't worth ten thousand taels, were they?"

Tian Qing did not hide it and said, "No, about six thousand taels, so I took four thousand taels from the Shang Pavilion."

This answer was beyond Lu Ye's expectations.

"Alright, I'll take the silver for now."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye flipped his wrist and a few items appeared in front of Tian Qing.

A Mortal Tier Upper Grade Long Saber, a weapon from the Wang Family Ancestor's storage ring.

A black as ink, obviously poisoned Profound Tier Lower Grade Dagger from the Three Yin Sect Elder.

As for the Cyan Thunder Sect's Profound Tier Lower Grade Long Sword with cyan thunder patterns, its features were too conspicuous, Lu Ye didn't plan to bring it out for now.

After all, they were a power with an ancestor above Innate.
