Therefore, Tian Qing's sudden visit to the Jiang Family left... everyone puzzled.

It seemed like Tian Qing was aware of Jiang Lianshan's thoughts, and in the hall, he laughed and said: "Patriarch Jiang, long time no see. I followed Young Master Lu uninvited, I hope I didn't disturb you?"

"No, no, I'm extremely glad Elder Tian could come, how could it be a disturbance," Jiang Lianshan replied with confusion. "I don't know, who is this Young Master Lu?"

Tian Qing, with a smile on his face, said, "It's none other than Lu Ye, Young Master Lu."

Saying this, Tian Qing glanced at Jiang Lianshan with some envy. The Jiang Family really had a good daughter.

Although she couldn't cultivate, her husband, at just a little over twenty, had already become a grandmaster!

How much fortune had Jiang Lianshan accumulated to find such a match for his daughter?

Lu Ye? Young Master Lu?

At this point, Jiang Lianshan was genuinely puzzled.

The servant disciple sent by the Red Cloud Sect, when did he become associated with the Tian Family Ancestor... no, the former ancestor?

Could it be that during the time Lu Ye was away from the Jiang Family, he was courting the former Tian Family Ancestor?

Jiang Lianshan regained his composure and chuckled, "So it's Lu Ye. That kid is really lucky to catch Elder Tian's attention."

Tian Qing: "..."

Quickly glancing behind him and not seeing Lu Ye's figure, Tian Qing felt a sense of relief.

Me taking a liking to him? More like him taking a liking to me!

A Martial Arts Grandmaster at just a little over twenty, even a fool would know following such a person would surely lead to great achievements.

If Lu Ye were to spread a bit of word, there would certainly be more than enough Innate practitioners willing to follow, not just lining up, but practically unable to grab them with two hands.

Tian Qing considered himself extraordinarily fortunate to have gotten to follow beforehand.

"Patriarch Jiang, please don't say things like that again in the future. My relationship with Young Master Lu... Lu Ye, is one of friendship despite the age difference." Tian Qing said somewhat seriously, indeed a bit intimidating.

Jiang Lianshan was taken aback, it seemed that Tian Qing and that son-in-law Lu Ye indeed had a pretty good relationship?

Elder Tian's actions clearly placed Lu Ye on equal footing.

...

Jiang Qingge's courtyard.

At Jiang Qingge's invitation, Lu Ye thought about it and agreed to come over.

"You, you sit, I'll go make some tea for you."

Jiang Qingge hurriedly went inside.

Inside, as Jiang Qingge made tea, she felt a bit happy.

Obviously only one person came back, but suddenly it felt like... the small courtyard had come back to life.

After a moment, she walked out with a pot of hot tea, poured a cup for Lu Ye, and asked with a hint of expectation, "Try it, see how it is? If it's not suitable, I'll switch to a different tea."

Lu Ye lifted it and took a light sip; it had a faint tea aroma and went down smoothly, clearly indicating the tea maker had some skill in the art of tea.

"Not bad," he said lightly, "Have you studied the art of tea?"

Hearing this, Jiang Qingge nodded, a bit embarrassed, "Yes, a little. I can't cultivate, so I have to learn some other skills, so as not to be completely useless."

It seemed that in the Martial Arts World, the inability to cultivate was indeed a harsh reality for someone, especially for a family descendant.

The melancholy in Jiang Qingge's words did not escape Lu Ye's ears.

Looking at Jiang Qingge, who seemed somewhat more pleasing to the eye, Lu Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Hold out your hand, let me take a look."

There are many reasons why one might not be able to cultivate. For some, it's a lack of aptitude, for others, it's due to certain reasons.

"Huh?"

Jiang Qingge was startled, staring at Lu Ye's face, seemingly doubting if she had heard correctly.

When... when did he begin to show kindness toward her?

"Okay... Thank you... Thank you, Lu Ye." Coming to her senses, Jiang Qingge quickly held out a fair, delicate hand.

Worried that the sleeve might be an obstacle to Lu Ye's examination, Jiang Qingge straightforwardly rolled up her sleeve, exposing half of her arm to Lu Ye.

"Here... go ahead and take a look."

Lu Ye also extended a hand, placing it on Jiang Qingge's arm, and a subtle strand of Grandmaster's Source Qi quietly infiltrated inside.

Instantly, Jiang Qingge just felt... a bit ticklish.

As if a strange warm current entered her body and then... roamed around.

However, looking at Lu Ye's somewhat serious face across from her, she stifled her voice, dared not make a sound, while a light blush began to tint the delicate, weary-looking face.

Lu Ye controlled the Source Qi, probing within Jiang Qingge's meridians.

For someone who hadn't trained in martial arts, the meridians were narrow from a lack of cultivation and the broadening during breaking through would be quite limited.

This situation demanded even higher control power, so Lu Ye suddenly became much more serious.

After all, searching for the reason within someone else's meridians required utmost care.

A moment later, Lu Ye shook his head slightly in disappointment, having almost gone through Jiang Qingge's entire meridian pathways.

But found nothing unusual.

Just as Lu Ye was about to withdraw his Source Qi, a soft hum unexpectedly came from the opposite side.

"Mm... Ah..."

Finally unable to bear it, Jiang Qingge let out a slightly strange sound. Catching Lu Ye's instant glance, she only felt her face burning intensely, wanting to find a hole to crawl into.

He was kindly examining the reason for her inability... how could she make such a sound!

"Sorry, I... I didn't mean to. You can continue..." Jiang Qingge's head almost bowed to her chest, her voice a whisper.

Luckily, there was no one else around, otherwise, Jiang Qingge felt she'd be too ashamed to meet anyone right now.

As for Lu Ye... even though the process felt slightly embarrassing, it wasn't embarrassing to the point where it was completely unacceptable because he was unmoved by her allure.

"No need, I've finished examining." Lu Ye withdrew his hand and shook his head, "Sorry, I didn't find the cause."

"Huh? Ah... Is it over?" The tone in Jiang Qingge's voice carried a faint sense of disappointment, even she hadn't realized.

It wasn't that she was disappointed about not finding the cause and still not being able to cultivate, but rather disappointment... that this slight connection between the two had ended...

"But still, thank you." Jiang Qingge smiled and said, "Please wait a moment."

Saying this, she hurriedly went back to the room.

A moment later, Jiang Qingge emerged holding a pouch, carefully taking out two silver ingots, cautiously stating, "Well... for your hard work, would a hundred taels be enough?"

"If it's not enough, I... I can add more."

Lu Ye: "???"

Lu Ye felt that upon returning, Jiang Qingge seemed... a bit different.

He hadn't mentioned any fee.

Why did this woman... proactively come out offering money?

"No need, take it back," Lu Ye said calmly.

Jiang Qingge bit her lip slightly, "Please take it, you've exerted effort."

Pausing briefly, Jiang Qingge showed a slightly pleading expression and said, "Please."

From Lu Ye's past behavior, she knew Lu Ye was short on money.

In the past, he had even borrowed silver from her.
