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

Chapter 510 - 508: Xiao Qingyin: "That friend of yours is actually you, isn’t it?" Qing Province, Giant Mountain City

In life, one should be like this!

What a yearning feeling... a single person’s prowess suppressing a top family.

"I said, the news released by the Yuan Family earlier seemed quite dubious.

"That elder Lu Yan has always been rumored only to appear inside and outside Celestial Origin City, never heard of him coming to Shangyuan City. If he truly sheltered the Yuan Family, they would probably flaunt a Memory Stone photograph, right? Now it seems, there were indeed many loopholes."

"Alas, such figures are like dragons appearing but with no trace. We ordinary people have no idea of the elder’s movements, so once the Yuan Family spoke, there’s no way to verify its authenticity."

The crowd glanced in the Yuan Family’s direction and then looked at the spot where the two had departed, eyes filled with envy.

Riding the sword with the wind, free across the realm... it must be just like that!

Leaving Shangyuan City, the two headed straight towards the border line between Qing Province and Yuan Province.

Meanwhile, explosive news quickly began to spread within Yuan Province.

Since the last time, after Lu Yan’s appearance on the list at Celestial Origin City, who vanished afterwards... friends have emerged in Yuan Province...

Compared to the commotion during the list appearance last time, this time, Lu Yan’s friend directly beheaded an elder of a Mortal Realm Grandmaster clan.

It turned out that this clan, absurdly daring, was using Lu Yan’s name to scam across Yuan Province.

Once the news thoroughly broke out, many were shocked, many were astounded.

There were also a few who originally guessed the Yuan Family’s bluff was fake and intended to do likewise, immediately snuffing out that idea.

It’s a matter of life and death, didn’t hear the friend say, if found again doing such things, prepare to disappear.

"The brains of those Yuan Family people, don’t know how they think, daring to impersonate like this, I used to think they genuinely clung onto such a big shot."

"Consider it a wake-up call for you and me, if such a thing happens again, someone clinging onto greatness, it’s probably fake."

The discussion within Yuan Province was lively, while Xiao Qingyin followed behind Lu Ye, flying forward.

"The friend you mentioned, couldn’t it actually be yourself?"

Finally, when nearing Yuan Province’s border for a rest, Xiao Qingyin couldn’t hold back, voicing her doubts.

Throughout the journey, hearing discussions about the matter from various towns, Xiao Qingyin increasingly felt the oddities weren’t few.

Both surnamed Lu, both Earth Realm Grandmasters, was a coincidence.

Moreover, they knew each other and were friends, and... held the top position on the Stone Monument in their respective provinces.

All the coincidences made Xiao Qingyin more willing to believe, Lu Ye was likely Lu Ye himself, who had previously topped the list in Yuan Province.

After all, he had disguised as Chen Beixuan before; it’s not unprecedented.

Upon hearing Xiao Qingyin’s question, Lu Ye asked, "Why do you think that?"

"Because with such strength as an Earth Realm Grandmaster, I think there can’t be too many."

"You both share the same surname, similar age. Rather than believing in emerging talents, I’m inclined to think all this is your achievements."

Xiao Qingyin earnestly said.

She felt the notion of emerging talents wasn’t the case.

Lu Ye: "?"

Unexpectedly, she indeed guessed some of it.

"You can consider me and him as one." After some thought, Lu Ye slowly said.

This statement, to some extent, acknowledged it.

Sure enough, Xiao Qingyin’s eyes slightly brightened; she knew there couldn’t be so many young prodigies suddenly appearing.

It’s actually... just a different identity of one person.

When this person came to Yuan Province or caused such a big stir was unknown.

...

The two traveled, reaching Qing Province’s territory by the second afternoon hour.

In Qing Province’s territory, unlike the remote Xuanzhou, here one sees numerous small groups of armored dynasty soldiers quickly passing on horseback.

"Heard that Qing Province now has three dynasty forces occupying different areas, much more chaotic..."

Nearby, observing this troop, seemingly experienced in killing, quickly passing, Xiao Qingyin whispered.

Nodding, Lu Ye also discerned some things. In Xuanzhou, including Yuan Province, he hadn’t encountered such situations.

As for why not expand to other provinces, it’s evident these divided forces haven’t reached such levels.

They should have originated in Qing Province, blindly expanding would lead to widespread emptiness.

If fought, all places would lack strong defense or offense capabilities.

Not long after, while the two continued their journey, another group swiftly passed by on horseback.

"Move, hurry, before sunset we must reach Giant Mountain City."

The leading captain shouted, gazing at the two on the road ahead, whipping the air fiercely.

"Those in front, clear the path! Don’t block the way!"

Instinctively, Xiao Qingyin frowned slightly, but Lu Ye signaled her not to act rashly, guiding her aside and clearing the path.

Whoosh!

Moments later, this group of thirty or so stormed past, raising a cloud of dust, commanding presence.

"These Qing Province soldiers really disregard ordinary people," seeing this, Xiao Qingyin remarked.

"In such mixed battle of forces, ordinary people indeed have little human rights," Lu Ye said. "Rest a bit, then find a nearby city to check the situation."

About Qing Province, Lu Ye had limited understanding.

He planned to visit a city in Qing Province, gather some news, and buy a comprehensive map of Qing Province.

Both had flown and traveled before, consuming considerable energy, thus chose a spot, resting for one or two hours.

After recovering fully, they set out again, aiming for the nearest city.

Upon arriving, they found the nearest city was the Giant Mountain City previously mentioned by the soldiers.

Unlike the freely accessible towns in Xuanzhou, entry to Giant Mountain City required passing guard’s inspections at the gates.

Seeing this, Lu Ye speculated that all cities within Qing Province might face this.

It’s likely to prevent spies from other factions infiltrating.

The two joined the queue to enter the city, observing people passing inspections, Lu Ye’s brow furrowed slightly.
