Chapter 456: Chapter 454: More Than Just Jiang Qingge’s Companion—Does Youluo Like Lu Ye? Youluo Changes the Topic

Inside the wooden cabin.

Youluo’s small face was unusually pale, likely due to the pain from the previous battle.

However, Youluo patted herself, saying, "Don’t worry, husband Lord, from now on, Youluo will treat you well!"

Lu Ye: "..."

"Who taught you to say this?"

Youluo said, "...Learned from a book."

"Why did you suddenly have this idea?" Lu Ye pondered for a moment, then asked.

He naturally knew that Youluo’s identity implied that this day would eventually come, considering she was Jiang Qingge’s close maid.

However, given Jiang Qingge’s personality in this life, Youluo could likely choose a good partner autonomously.

So, why would Youluo suddenly make this move?

Youluo whispered, "Anyway, this day will come, Youluo is just a help to the Lord."

Lu Ye looked at Youluo for a moment, smiled, and stayed silent.

Having known her for several years, Lu Ye had some understanding of Youluo’s character.

Although she generally preferred solving things with her fists rather than with her mind.

In some matters, she wouldn’t act impulsively.

Previously, she only said she’d help ease the Lord’s burdens, coming over to kiss Lu Ye a few times.

But now... this was clearly impulsive.

"Do you like me?" After a pause, Lu Ye looked at Youluo.

Youluo kept saying it was for the Lord, but Lu Ye thought... maybe it wasn’t just that.

If she didn’t truly like him, merely the excuse of helping Jiang Qingge wouldn’t drive her to actively want to... cook.

Besides, though Youluo had lived for very long, this was the first time in this regard.

"I... I’m just helping the Lord." Hearing Lu Ye’s words, Youluo lowered her head and whispered.

Lu Ye calmly said: "Lift your head and tell me."

Youluo: "..."

A moment later, she lifted her head, looked at Lu Ye, and said: "I’m originally helping the Lord..."

Staring at Lu Ye’s deep eyes, as if they had already seen through her, Youluo hesitated.

"Why are you asking this now? Let’s go and eat grilled fish, it’s cold now!"

Seeing Youluo change the topic, Lu Ye found it amusing that she only now remembered the grilled fish.

Both of them then walked out of the cabin, only to find the grilled fish had vanished.

By the fire, there was a clear drag mark.

"Well, the grilled fish is gone too, it must have been stolen by wild dogs or cats." Said Lu Ye when he saw.

"Damn thief stealing things!" Youluo muttered angrily.

Seeing Youluo keen to switch topics, Lu Ye didn’t press on, saying: "Do you want to rest here for a while, or proceed to the Three Yin Sect’s lair later?"

"Let’s proceed, let’s proceed. I’ve completed what I needed to do for the Lord." Youluo said, seeming like her usual carefree self, as her complexion was getting back to normal.

"Are you really alright?" Lu Ye asked.

"Husband Lord, when has Youluo ever lied to you?" Youluo said confidently: "Now even if I encounter someone at the Mortal Realm Seventh Layer, I can take them down!"

Seeing her movements being slightly less convenient, yet smoother than Jiang Lingyue back then, Lu Ye was quite impressed.

Indeed, as a Grandmaster, her constitution was indeed much stronger than others.

Since Youluo felt alright, Lu Ye planned to set off with Youluo after one hour, heading to the Three Yin Sect headquarters under the last traces of night.

...

At this time, inside the Three Yin Sect headquarters, lights were bright, and guards with strong auras were stationed everywhere.

Besides, various traps and arrays were densely laid out. If outsiders didn’t follow the prescribed path, they’d instantly trigger these traps and arrays!

Historically, those who triggered the arrays had only two outcomes. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

One was being directly killed on the spot by the traps and array, then Three Yin Sect guards would come to collect the corpse.

The second was fortunately resisting and surviving the array’s crisis, then... being caught by the Three Yin Sect and turned into puppets!

Since the demise of the Five Poison Sect half a year ago, the Three Yin Sect had acted much more discreetly.

The grand task of turning people into puppets had been curbed quite a bit.

After all, the Five Poison Sect’s fate served as a cautionary tale.

Inside a grand hall.

The Three Yin Sect Leader sat on a skull chair, listening to reports about recent happenings in Xuanzhou.

"Celestial Curtain Prefecture, Celestial Profound Sect..."

The Three Yin Sect Leader’s gaze lightly flickered: "This person really is able to cause trouble, having provoked one of the strongest forces in the Eastern Territory and now provoking people from Celestial Curtain Prefecture..."

Currently, after the tension built over time, the event of two Mortal Realm Ninth Layer figures from the Celestial Curtain Prefecture presumably perishing in the Yunyao Secret Realm is no longer a secret.

According to most participants in the Yunyao Secret Realm, only Chen Beixuan had the overwhelming capability to kill two Mortal Realm Ninth Layer figures!

After all, that’s how the two brothers from Desolate Stone Mountain were wiped out.

Thus, lately, it’s heard that Celestial Curtain Prefecture has already dispatched people from Hidden Spirit Land to Xuanzhou to investigate.

Their Mortal Realm Grandmasters can’t just die in vain!

Naturally, the Three Yin Sect Leader was pleased to see this happening.

With the Five Poison Sect wiped out, his strength was not even equal to the Five Poison Old Monster, who discreetly advanced to Grandmaster, only revealing it at the last moment.

Of course, with so much time passed, the Three Yin Sect Leader too had achieved the status of Mortal Realm Grandmaster.

Yet, after gathering much information on Chen Beixuan, the Three Yin Sect Leader knew...

His strength amounted to nothing before that terrifying God of Slaughter.

If the Three Yin Sect were to rid itself of this threat, relying on Celestial Curtain Prefecture was the only hope.

"Where on earth did Chen Beixuan emerge from?" After dismissing his subordinates, the Three Yin Sect Leader muttered softly.

Rumors have it that Chen Beixuan is actually a fake name, and his real appearance is just a young man in his twenties...

But the Three Yin Sect Leader couldn’t believe it, how could a twenty-something top the East Cang List?!

No evil technique could be so absurd!

"...Where did he emerge from?"

At this moment, as the Three Yin Sect Leader was pondering, a figure really emerged from the empty corner of the grand hall...

Slowly appeared!

In that instant, despite the Three Yin Sect Leader’s extensive experience, his pupils contracted sharply, his expression changed.

"Who are you?!"

To quietly appear right before him, the Three Yin Sect Leader felt a sense of foreboding.

He immediately connected his spiritual sense to a damaged weapon placed in his Storage Ring, seemingly a sword body, surrounded by malevolence, feeling some peace as he intently watched the emerging figure.

"Comrade, breaking into my Three Yin Sect during late night... isn’t it inappropriate?"
