Chapter 436: Chapter 434: Like Meeting the Girl’s Parents in a Past Life? Lu Ye and Su Liuying Both Feel Something’s Off!

Su Liuying shook her head imperceptibly; this explanation had too many holes.

In fact, Su Liuying was also a bit curious about who exactly was the beloved of her disciple.

Or rather, what kind of person was it?

Ever since Jiang Lingyue started showing her talent and gaining fame,

because she often taught Jiang Lingyue, Su Liuying frequently saw...

many young people, from within the sect, from outside, coming to Wuxiang Sect under various pretexts to express their feelings to this girl.

But Jiang Lingyue refused all of them with great impatience.

After many occurrences, Jiang Lingyue even seemed a bit annoyed.

If not for knowing Jiang Lingyue had someone in her heart, Su Liuying would have thought her disciple was naturally averse to men.

With a slight flicker in her eyes, Su Liuying smiled and said.

"Feeling bored staying on the mountain for too long? Just as well, I’m here too, why don’t you show me around?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lingyue was dumbstruck on the spot.

It’s not that she couldn’t show Su Liuying around, but... now was not suitable!

"Um, um... can it be in a few days?" Jiang Lingyue whispered, "Master, I have time in a few days, how about then?"

"No time like the present, I think today is great, why, you’re unwilling?" Su Liuying said with a half-smile.

Jiang Lingyue: "..."

...

Meanwhile, Lu Ye, who had just arrived not far from Wuxiang Mountain, suddenly received an urgent message.

[Big trouble, my master insists on coming along!]

[What should I do? I... I’m so flustered!]

"Her master wants to come along?"

Lu Ye raised an eyebrow; from these two messages, he could sense that Jiang Lingyue was panicking.

[Don’t panic, I’ll handle it with a fake identity first. Just call me Lu Yan when the time comes.]

Having told Jiang Lingyue a location outside town, Lu Ye put on a mask, preparing to first deal with Jiang Lingyue’s master.

Moments later, indeed, two figures walked over.

Opposite, Su Liuying’s gaze immediately locked onto this place.

Upon seeing Lu Ye standing at a certain spot outside town, Su Liuying scrutinized Lu Ye from top to bottom in an instant.

Then, her gaze paused on Lu Ye’s face.

"A bit unfamiliar..."

With this thought fleeting through her mind, Su Liuying maintained a calm facade and followed Jiang Lingyue towards him.

If it were the usual Jiang Lingyue, she would’ve jumped onto Lu Ye the moment she saw him.

But with her master beside her today, Jiang Lingyue felt deeply restrained.

Walking slowly to Lu Ye, Jiang Lingyue softly introduced, "This... this is my master."

"Master, this is... Lu Yan."

Almost instinctively blurting out Lu Ye’s name, fortunately, Jiang Lingyue corrected to Yan halfway.

After all, Ye and Yan sound very similar.

Su Liuying nodded slightly, "Young friend, so young and handsome. I’ve heard... you and my disciple are quite smitten with each other?"

Jiang Lingyue instantly stiffened next to Su Liuying; she didn’t expect her master to ask this right away.

"Replying to Elder Su, indeed we are smitten," Lu Ye said with a calm demeanor, showing no signs of nervousness.

This was not unlike meeting the future in-laws in the previous life.

Lu Ye had seen plenty of such scenarios.

"Do you know that Lingyue is now a Tier Three Alchemist?"

Su Liuying said, "For her age, her future achievements will definitely be those of an Alchemy Master, or... even beyond!"

"So, I hope she can spend a bit less time on other things."

At first glance, this statement seemed hard to decipher its meaning.

But actually, Lu Ye understood in an instant.

This was Su Liuying hinting indirectly, meaning her disciple is so outstanding, questioning whether he is worthy.

If not, it would be better not to delay Jiang Lingyue.

Beside her, Jiang Lingyue hurriedly tugged at Su Liuying’s sleeve, pleading in a low voice, "Master... please stop."

Su Liuying didn’t know Lu Ye’s true identity, but Jiang Lingyue did.

What’s a Tier Three Alchemist?

More than half a year ago, this big bad guy... had already slain a Mortal Realm Grandmaster!

A Tier Three Alchemist is equivalent to the Innate Realm.

Even though they are much rarer than cultivators of the same level, at most, they are roughly equivalent to the Peak of Innate.

Because beyond the Innate Realm, the effect of Tier Three Elixirs on the following realms becomes very minimal.

It’s not enough to make those of higher realms interested.

Comparing with this bad guy, wouldn’t that surely cause an inferiority complex?

Lu Ye didn’t get angry at Su Liuying’s words; he knew Su Liuying was also looking out for Jiang Lingyue. Smiling gently, he said:

"Ultimately, it depends on what Lingyue thinks; if she feels it’s not a delay, then it’s not a delay."

Beside him, Jiang Lingyue quickly whispered, "It’s not a delay, not a delay..."

...

About ten minutes later, Su Liuying left.

After all, Su Liuying knew being there was a bit obtrusive.

Through ten minutes of indirect questioning, Su Liuying realized...

This young man seemed to possess a kind of composure and confidence rare for his age.

And with Jiang Lingyue focused on him, asking anything lightly made the girl overwhelmingly pained.

So, Su Liuying could only sigh helplessly and let the two have their time alone.

"The cultivation revealed by this young man is only at the Innate Realm, but why does my impression of him suggest otherwise?"

As Su Liuying left, she did so with some confusion.

But clearly, these doubts couldn’t be resolved for now, and thus Su Liuying had to suppress them in her heart.

Watching her master go away, Jiang Lingyue let out a long breath, feeling the tension in her unwind instantly.

"Phew, scared me to death..."

Patting her chest energetically, Jiang Lingyue hugged Lu Ye tightly.

"I missed you so much!"

"What, are you so afraid of your master?" Seeing this, Lu Ye couldn’t help but laugh.

"Master is really nice, usually very gentle with me, but mainly I’m worried about her views on you." Jiang Lingyue, comfortable leaning against Lu Ye, said charmingly.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Lingyue continued:

"Master probably thinks you’re some ordinary person. If she knew you’re the newly ranked first on the East Cang List recently, who knows what she’d think!"

Lu Ye didn’t say a word, looking towards the direction Su Liuying left; a faint thought flashed through his mind.

Just as Su Liuying felt something was off about him, similarly, Lu Ye also sensed...

This master of Jiang Lingyue’s had an aura slightly strange, seemingly a bit unlike a normal human being.

However, from Jiang Lingyue’s past narrations and this short incense stick’s worth of contact.

Lu Ye could see that for this disciple, she indeed held significant concern.
