The reason Lu Ye had such a skill was to completely dispel the Wuxiang Sect Leader’s doubts.
This array plate was naturally for Jiang Lingyue’s protection.
He had given Jiang Lingyue an Innate Sword Talisman before, which was useful a few years ago, but now it was obviously insufficient to handle any crises that might arise.
This array plate didn’t have any fancy array patterns; it only stored a single sword aura.
However, this aura, once activated, could instantly kill a Mortal Realm Grandmaster and severely injure an Earth Realm Grandmaster with Ultimate Sword Qi!
Handing this array plate to Jiang Lingyue, Lu Ye said: "Do you have any other matters? If not, you can leave first."
Wuxiang Sect Leader: "..."
"No, nothing... Then, Elder Chen, Nephew Jiang, I’ll take my leave first." Though the Wuxiang Sect Leader didn’t particularly want to leave at the moment, he could only bid farewell when invited to do so.
After the Wuxiang Sect Leader left, Lu Ye took out another sword aura array plate, along with a previously drawn teleportation array plate, and handed them all to Jiang Lingyue.
"Here are the array plates I made earlier, along with another sword aura array plate, which can serve as a trump card known only to you."
Lu Ye had purposefully waited for the Wuxiang Sect Leader to leave before taking this out, intending it to be known only by Jiang Lingyue.
While the Wuxiang Sect Leader wished to protect promising disciples, the fewer people knew about such trump cards, the better.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lingyue nodded quickly and took the array plates.
She also understood that the safer she was, the more at ease her brother-in-law could be when training and seeking resources outside.
He wouldn’t have to worry about their safety.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Lingyue asked, "Can this array plate threaten a Mortal Realm Grandmaster?"
Lu Ye smiled, patting her head, and said, "Don’t even mention the Mortal Realm; even an Earth Realm Late Stage person could fall unexpectedly."
After all, the stored sword aura painted on the array plate wasn’t as powerful as Lu Ye when he deployed it himself.
However, annihilating someone in the Earth Realm Late Stage is still easily accomplished unless they’re fully defending themselves.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lingyue’s mouth opened wide.
Earth Realm Late Stage... could also fall?!
Is brother-in-law even human, creating such a powerful array plate?!
Why is he so formidable wherever he goes!
Suddenly thinking of something, Jiang Lingyue’s cheeks turned slightly red.
She really wasn’t exaggerating...
...
Lu Ye didn’t stay long in Jiang Lingyue’s courtyard; half a day later, he was ready to leave.
After all, others like Jiang Qingge and Youluo were waiting for him, and he couldn’t favor one person overly much.
Thus, Lu Ye proposed leaving and visiting her again later.
"I must go now, and I’ll return to Wuxiang Sect to visit you when I have more time," Lu Ye slowly said.
"What? So soon." Upon hearing this, Jiang Lingyue felt some reluctance, having only spent a day together.
However, she was aware that her brother-in-law had others to visit, and his schedule was undoubtedly tight.
She had already decided to be content being the younger one, so she couldn’t be unreasonable and monopolize Lu Ye’s time.
Despite some reluctance, Jiang Lingyue nodded and said, "Alright then, remember to stay safe outside. I’ll wait for you at Wuxiang Sect."
A moment later, Lu Ye directly rose into the sky from Jiang Lingyue’s courtyard and disappeared...
Watching Lu Ye’s direction of departure, Jiang Lingyue sighed softly, but soon her expression turned joyous again.
She had a premonition that when her alchemy skills improved further, she could leave Wuxiang Sect to train and subsequently accompany her brother-in-law!
Being able to refine Mortal Realm Pills might earn recognition temporarily in the Northern Territory or even Xuanzhou.
But what if she could refine Tier Six Elixirs or even Tier Seven Elixirs...
At that time, she would be able to assist her brother-in-law rather than letting him fight alone outside.
Touching the array plates still slightly warm from use, Jiang Lingyue murmured to herself, "Keep up the good work!"
Simultaneously, on Sect Leader Peak.
The originally seated Wuxiang Sect Leader in the grand hall seemed to sense something and looked towards the sky outside...
"Hmm, did he leave?"
Though lacking concrete perception, the notion abruptly arose within the Wuxiang Sect Leader.
"Alas, what a pity, didn’t forge more good relations."
Pondering, the Wuxiang Sect Leader sighed slightly, realizing that establishing more good relations would undoubtedly benefit Wuxiang Sect with no drawbacks.
Yet shortly after, the sect leader recalled another matter, wasn’t there still a good relation left? Isn’t his partner still within Wuxiang Sect? If truth be told, it’s the greatest good relation ever!
What other good relation could compare to this one?
Thinking this, the Wuxiang Sect Leader’s expression became subtly nuanced.
"Evidently, I should pay more attention to Nephew Jiang in the future and absolutely must avoid offending her!"
For upsetting her wouldn’t just mean crossing a promising alchemy master; it’s the person behind her that’s truly intimidating.
Narrowing his eyes, the Wuxiang Sect Leader promptly summoned a Foreign Affairs Elder who managed sect affairs.
"Issue the command: from today, no disciple is allowed to frequently disturb Nephew Jiang."
"Should Nephew Jiang become displeased, regardless of who, a seven-day confinement for the first offense, and a month for repeated offenses!"
Reaching this point, the Wuxiang Sect Leader’s eyes narrowed slightly, exuding a hint of danger.
"And if there’s a third violation without remorse... confiscate everything, exile from the sect!"
It’s no wonder the Wuxiang Sect Leader set such heavy punishment; if truly irritating that person, even all of Wuxiang Sect together wouldn’t stand a chance against him.
Moreover, striking the third time, showing such tiresome behavior, undoubtedly seems intentional.
Surely, the Foreign Affairs Elder was stunned, almost dropping his eyeballs upon hearing the sect leader’s words.
After all, those trying to get close to this gifted disciple are also the sect’s promising elite disciples.
The Sect Leader’s move clearly targeted those elite disciples to prevent them from annoying Jiang Lingyue.
However, the Foreign Affairs Elder felt this punishment perhaps too harsh?
Promptly, the elder voiced his concern.
"Sect Leader, isn’t this punishment too severe for them? Bear in mind that all those able to get close to Nephew Jiang are amongst our sect’s elites, including one of your disciples..."
If truly such punishment ensues, surely no one would dare to bother Jiang Lingyue anymore.
Expecting that after speaking his mind, the sect leader might reconsider and soften the punishment a bit.
