Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law

Chapter 540 - 538: Sang Xiyao’s Curiosity—What Kind of Woman Would Lu Ye’s Wife Be?

Jiang Qingge curiously said, "It seems the Cheng family might have many enemies."

"If that’s the case, the Cheng family must be overwhelmed right now. They probably won’t care about things here anymore. We don’t have to keep waiting," Lu Ye said after pondering for a moment.

In such situations, the Cheng family is unlikely to take further actions if they don’t act immediately.

Jiang Qingge nodded in agreement.

Just then, Lu Ye’s Communication Jade Token suddenly emitted some movement.

When he took it out to check, it was a message from Sang Xiyao.

[Fellow Daoist Lu Ye, where are you now? There’s something I need to discuss with you.]

Does she have something to tell me?

Feeling a bit surprised, Lu Ye’s expression slightly turned serious, thinking it might be something about Xuanzhou.

Perhaps a task needed his assistance.

Since joining the Celestial Palace officially, he hadn’t done much for them yet.

Lu Ye: [I’m currently in the Northern Territory. Is there a task that needs executing? I can set off immediately from here.]

To his surprise, the message from Sang Xiyao conveyed, however...

Sang Xiyao: [You’re in the Northern Territory? Perfect. Stay there and don’t move. Some of our Celestial Palace members are heading to the Northern Territory. Just tell us your location.]

Lu Ye: "..."

After giving Sang Xiyao a location, Lu Ye was curious about what matter could bring a group of Celestial Palace members to the Northern Territory.

After all, he had just joined the Celestial Palace not long ago, and he wasn’t yet aware of the information about the Mist Heaven Hall opening, which occurs once every twenty years.

He wanted to ask in advance, but Sang Xiyao mysteriously said there’s no need to rush; he’ll know when they arrive.

Accepting this, Lu Ye didn’t press further.

"We might not be able to leave for a while," Lu Ye said after storing away his Communication Jade Token. "The faction I just joined will have a team arriving in the Northern Territory as well."

Regarding the Lingyao Celestial Palace matter, Lu Ye later mentioned it to Jiang Qingge, so she was informed.

Upon hearing Lu Ye’s words, Jiang Qingge nodded and suddenly thought of something, asking, "By the way, does the Red Cloud Sect Leader know about your identity now..."

Somewhat curious, she wondered if the Red Cloud Sect Leader knew about Lu Ye’s current status...

What would the Red Cloud Sect Leader think?

Hearing this, Lu Ye pondered and nodded, saying, "It’s been so long, naturally she knows. I haven’t intended to hide it."

Lu Ye withheld one other thing—not only did she know, but even her Dao heart showed some issues...

These matters require self-adjustment on her part.

She knows?

Jiang Qingge asked, "So, did the Red Cloud Sect Leader resign from the Sect Leader position due to this?"

"I wouldn’t know about that. I might not have such influence; it could be for other reasons," Lu Ye replied, smiling without confirming, to avoid appearing like everything was his doing.

Jiang Qingge nodded, saying nothing further, quietly staying by Lu Ye’s side, waiting together for the arrival of the Lingyao Celestial Palace members.

After a while, a flying boat swiftly entered the Northern Territory from the sky.

A palace surrounded by mist was depicted on the flag at the front of the flying boat.

On the deck, Sang Xiyao stood at the front, gazing at the drifting sea of clouds, looking ahead.

"With the impending emergence of the Mist Heaven Hall, even forces from the Boundless Sea are said to be coming to the Northern Territory."

The faces of several Lingyao Celestial Palace members beside her were somewhat solemn.

Being a guardian-level force from Xuanzhou, they represent the face of Xuanzhou to some extent.

If they don’t perform well in the Mist Heaven Hall, they might be ridiculed by others, making every Celestial Palace person feel the pressure.

Turning to see the disciples so tense, Sang Xiyao smiled and said, "There’s no need to be so stressed. Just perform normally, and everything will be fine."

A quiet voice from a Celestial Palace disciple said, "I heard that forces from the Boundless Sea might bring real Celestial Realm figures?"

Celestial Realm...

People in this realm are precisely what they lack, causing the pressure to be so palpable.

Compared to other forces in Xuanzhou, the Lingyao Celestial Palace remains strong.

Yet within the palace, the absence of a Golden Envoy makes confronting Celestial Realm individuals from other regions less favorable on paper.

The atmosphere on the deck suddenly turned a bit heavy.

Sang Xiyao said, "After this Mist Heaven Hall, everyone should strive in cultivation. The vacant Golden Envoy position in the palace will eventually be filled."

Someone asked, "So, who are we going to find now, that newly joined disciple of the palace?"

"That Chen Beixuan? I’ve heard of him. He made a name in the Northern Territory, reportedly reaching Earth Realm strength at a young age!"

These people, discussing, suddenly showed a hint of surprise.

Their average age is already around a hundred, but due to their cultivator realm, they maintain youthful appearances.

There is still a significant difference compared to someone like Lu Ye, a truly young man capable of ascending the Stone Monument.

Especially last time, when some learned that the disturbance of Heaven and Earth Source Qi on the island was due to him.

Many were curious about this person known before they met.

Unfortunately, he left the palace last time and hasn’t returned since.

"That’s him. You’ll see him soon," Sang Xiyao said with a slight smile.

Lu Ye had previously shared his true identity with the Master of the Celestial Palace and her, but for now, only a few within the palace knew.

Thinking about Lu Ye’s prior mention of using an alias while traveling to protect his family, avoiding others finding his family once they learned of his marriage... Sang Xiyao was curious.

Is he already married?

Soon, the flying boat arrived above the small town Lu Ye mentioned.

Seeing the flag on the flying boat, Lu Ye stood up and said, "Let’s go, they’re about to land outside the town."

The two walked toward the town’s outskirts, just in time to see one figure after another descending from the flying boat.

"Fellow Daoist Chen," Sang Xiyao greeted upon seeing Lu Ye walk out, her gaze inadvertently shifting to the woman beside him with curiosity.

Upon seeing her, Sang Xiyao was slightly startled.

The woman beside Lu Ye, even in Sang Xiyao’s discerning eyes, seemed flawless...

Too perfect!

Sang Xiyao didn’t expect Lu Ye’s companion to be so remarkable.

But given Lu Ye’s prowess, Sang Xiyao felt it was quite natural.
