Upon hearing this, the corners of Qing Yu’s mouth slightly curled up.
She wasn’t just any cultivator; she was a powerful one!
One had to admit, the feeling of showing off in front of friends... was quite enjoyable.
"Of course! You think I wouldn’t grow stronger and come back for Lord Lu?" Qing Yu said with an experienced look, gazing at Lv He, "You’ll understand once you reach this stage."
Unexpectedly, Lv He still pouted, saying, "What stage? The one where you’re lonely by yourself at night, thinking ’I want Lord Lu’ but never being able to say it out loud?"
Qing Yu: "..."
Well, she had underestimated Lv He’s level of sharpness.
A moment later, after saying goodbye and promising to visit again, Qing Yu finally walked out of the alley, preparing to head to the Jiang Family.
At the same time, she took out her Communication Jade Token to inform Lord Lu that she had arrived.
Otherwise, after so many years, the guards might not even recognize her anymore, and she might not even get through the front gate.
After receiving a reply from Lu Ye, she felt relieved and proceeded to the Jiang Mansion.
Actually, as for the Jiang Family, Qing Yu felt okay about it, but as for Miss Qingge...
There was a certain inexplicable sense of fear.
At this moment, Qing Yu didn’t know that Jiang Qingge also had some cultivation.
And her cultivation had reached a very high level. The fear she spoke of was towards the Jiang Qingge she remembered as an ordinary person back then.
"Why would I be afraid of Miss Qingge?"
Thinking about it, a guilty suspicion arose in Qing Yu’s heart.
Maybe it’s because... she also wanted a slice of Lord Lu?
So, she subconsciously felt a bit guilty towards this rightful wife.
But soon, Qing Yu murmured to herself.
The personal maids of others are usually dragged into the fray to bear the brunt, isn’t that what her identity was? What was there to feel guilty about?
Not guilty at all!
With this thought in mind, Qing Yu arrived in front of the Jiang Mansion.
Years later, upon seeing the tall red-lacquered gate of the Jiang Mansion again, a hint of nostalgia flitted across Qing Yu’s eyes.
She was sold into the Jiang Family when she was very young and had stayed there for over ten years since then.
She was undoubtedly familiar with the Jiang Family.
As the two guards saw a woman in blue suddenly walking over, they immediately showed a hint of skepticism.
They felt that this very graceful woman... looked somewhat familiar?
After two seconds, a guard who had reached the Postnatal Realm hesitantly shouted, "Are you... Qing Yu?"
Guards and maids lived in the outer courtyard, so they had more chances to meet each other. Although Qing Yu’s temperament had changed greatly from before,
In terms of appearance, she was vaguely the same as usual, recognizable.
"He Er, it’s me." Hearing this, Qing Yu smiled slightly and said, "Wow, it’s been years since we last met; you’re actually in the Postnatal Realm?"
She remembered that when she left, He Er was only around the sixth or seventh layer of Condensing Origin.
Upon hearing this, He Er immediately grinned broadly, scratching his head and saying, "It’s all thanks to Lord Lu. He taught us a lot of cultivation techniques and martial techniques, allowing us to improve so fast."
Ordinarily, for a person to advance a small realm in years was exceedingly difficult.
It’s because of this that so many people, after decades of struggling, still found themselves stuck at the ninth layer of Condensing Origin.
Lord Lu?
Upon hearing this, Qing Yu was a bit surprised. Lord Lu naturally meant Miss Jiang Qingge’s husband...
So Lord Lu even helped the Jiang Family with these matters?
In the next moment, He Er looked at Qing Yu curiously and said, "But wait, Qing Yu, weren’t you unable to cultivate? How can you see my cultivation level?"
If Qing Yu were also a cultivator, it wouldn’t be strange for her to be able to see it.
But before leaving the Jiang Family, Qing Yu had always been unable to cultivate.
"After going out, by lucky chance, I was able to cultivate too." Qing Yu smiled slightly, not hiding the fact that she had become a cultivator as well.
After all, pretending was too difficult.
"Is that so? Well, that’s great news." He Er showed a happy smile.
Just then, a figure walked out from the courtyard.
Seeing Qing Yu, Lu Ye nodded and said, "Come in."
Seeing Lu Ye’s figure, the two guards also revealed a hint of reverence.
These past two years, as Lu Ye once again shared several Profound Tier and even early-stage Earth Tier Secret Scriptures with the Jiang Family,
This allowed even the cultivation techniques of the Jiang Family guards to rise dramatically, and many inner courtyard guards were already cultivating early-stage Earth Tier techniques.
Among the inner courtyard guards were two or three of several generations who had served the Jiang Family, who had reached the eighth or ninth layer of the Postnatal Realm. They were all cultivating Earth Tier Techniques.
Therefore, at present, the Jiang Family guards were extremely passionate about Lu Ye.
You know, before, they were far from reaching the Innate Realm after so many years of struggling.
And now, just by entering the inner court, they could gain access to Earth Tier Cultivation Techniques!
Even the top sects in the Northern Territory had foundation techniques that were only about this level.
"Greetings to Lord Lu!"
The two guards immediately saluted.
Lu Ye nodded, and Qing Yu quickly crossed the courtyard gate, entering the Jiang Mansion.
"Who would have guessed, Lord Lu, you actually have such skills."
After walking a short distance inside, Qing Yu said quietly.
"It’s nothing, just helping the Jiang Family guards strengthen a bit. This is quite normal." Lu Ye, guessing what she was referring to, replied with a slight smile.
"Where’s Miss Qingge?" Qing Yu followed Lu Ye into a small courtyard, not seeing Jiang Qingge, and asked curiously.
"She happened to go out for some business. Recently, things in Cloud Leaf City... have been strange." Lu Ye’s expression turned slightly serious.
After he explained the situation, Qing Yu thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Could it be because of... the well water?"
"For the common folk, the only common source they have contact with, I believe, is the wells. Water is something they use and drink daily."
As Qing Yu spoke, she suddenly felt her analysis was correct, and her eyes lit up as she continued.
"According to what you said, Lord Lu, the number of commoners who currently show signs of demonic energy isn’t too large. I suspect that the well doesn’t supply to many people either!"
Hearing this, Lu Ye showed a hint of surprise; it was indeed a reasonable conjecture.
"The wells... you might be onto something."
Lu Ye said, "We can have someone look into this next, and check if there’s a problem with the well water, and we’ll be able to find out."
Without wasting any time, Lu Ye went directly to find Jiang Lianshan and instructed him to investigate in this direction.
After listening, Jiang Lianshan’s old face immediately turned solemn: "Good, my worthy son-in-law, I will arrange for someone to do this immediately. As soon as there’s any news, I’ll inform you at once."
Although Jiang Lianshan didn’t quite understand what the Celestial Demon Divine Sect was, since his impressive son-in-law had taken the trouble to mention it, it was clearly not a trivial matter.
