In the direct disciples’ valley of the Qingyun Sect.

“Senior Sister Ye, are you there?”

Meng Ruyan, who had been cultivating with her eyes closed, smiled when she heard the voice transmission.

Not long after, Lu Yuan, who was standing outside the residence, saw the door before him slowly open.

Lu Yuan walked in and saw Meng Ruyan lying on the bed.

Meng Ruyan seemed to have misunderstood Lu Yuan’s intentions. She was half-lying on the bed, her clothes half off and her face blushing.

Although Lu Yuan already knew Meng Ruyan’s background, the steady Lu Yuan maintained a serious expression. It was as if he was afraid that if he was not serious, the demoness Meng Ruyan would not become serious either.

He did not expect that demoness Meng Ruyan’s misunderstanding seemed to have deepened.

She looked at Lu Yuan and said with a smile, “1 didn’t expect Junior Brother Lu to have become fond of pretending to be serious after not seeing you for a few days. I’ll try my best to cooperate with you.”

With that, Meng Ruyan sat up.

In the blink of an eye, her expression, eyes, temperament, and behavior all took a sharp 180 degrees turn.

She turned into a celestial in white as written in the novels, those who sat above the clouds and were untainted by the mortal world.

Facing the demoness Meng Ruyan, whose temperament had changed, Lu Yuan was once again being bewitched.

He could feel the changes in his body and mind.

Immediately after, Lu Yuan looked down on himself.

Lu Yuan, oh, Lu Yuan, this demoness had just used a small trick. Why did he fall for it again? Had he forgotten why he was here today?

“Junior brother, could it be that you don’t like me like this?”

“…I do like it.”

He did have some business to settle today, but they could talk about it later. There’s no hurry…

Two hours later…

“Senior sister, 1 really have business with you today.”

Meng Ruyan, who was dressing up, turned to look at Lu Yuan, who was lying on the bed, and said with a smile, “Tell me about it.”

Lu Yuan sat up and asked with a serious look, “Senior sister, how much do you know about the situation in the capital of Great Xia?”

Hearing this, Meng Ruyan, who was in the middle of dressing up, suddenly stopped.

She then looked at Lu Yuan and asked nonchalantly, “Why are you suddenly bringing this up?”

“My master disdains me for staying on the mountain and not going out, so he wants me to go down the mountain on an expedition,” Lu Yuan said with a bitter smile, “And the arrangement he gave me was to be the director of the Devil Slayers Division in the capital of Great Xia for ten years.”

“He wants you to be the director of the Devil Slayers Division?”

Hearing the surprise in Meng Ruyan’s voice, Lu Yuan immediately felt that something was wrong.

No way, no way, he couldn’t really be that unlucky, right?

At the thought of this, Lu Yuan asked tentatively, “Senior sister, could it be that there’s something wrong with the capital of Great Xia?”

Hearing this, Meng Ruyan seemed to realize that she had lost her composure.

She quickly adjusted her state of mind.

“Junior Brother Lu, have you ever learned about the situation of the Great Xia’s imperial family?”

Lu Yuan shook his head.

Meng Ruyan looked at him and said after a moment of silence, “Then let me tell you something and you should understand why 1 lost my composure just now. Great Xia’s imperial family… is surnamed Chen.”

The moment she said that, thunderclaps sounded in Lu Yuan’s heart!

Surnamed Chen… No way, it couldn’t be such a coincidence, right?!

One had to know that the Senior Brother Chen Yan, the doormat whom he had met when he had just transmigrated, was surnamed Chen!

“Senior Sister, could it be that Senior Brother Chen Yan… Is he from Great Xia’s imperial family?”

Meng Ruyan left the dressing table and returned to the bed.

She sat beside Lu Yuan and poked his chest with her finger. Then, she said with a faint smile, “What’s wrong? Are you afraid now? But just now, 1 didn’t see you holding back at all.”

Looking at Lu Yuan’s awkward expression, Meng Ruyan stopped teasing him.

Meng Ruyan laid down beside Lu Yuan and said lazily, “To be honest, you don’t have much to worry about. The so-called imperial family is only relative to ordinary people. To us cultivators, the imperial family without any cultivation is just a slightly bigger ant. You don’t have to worry about others making things difficult for you after you join the Devil Slayers Division. Although Chen Yan’s talent is good, he is still far from my level. His status in the sect is far inferior to mine too. Not to mention that you’re also a direct disciple of the sect and have been on the Mortal Rank for a short time.”

At this point, Meng Ruyan said pointedly, “Others may not know about your situation, but 1 know it very well. Junior brother, even if your current strength is not as good as mine, I think you’re not too far off… You’ve changed a lot since you became a direct disciple.”

Lu Yuan didn’t say anything in response to Meng Ruyan’s insinuations.

He knew very well that the improvement of his spiritual root aptitude could not be hidden from Meng Ruyan.

After all, after he successfully achieved Foundation Establishment through the way of the heavens, his aptitude for both his metal and water spiritual roots reached 200 points.

His total spiritual root aptitude had now reached an astonishing 900 points.

How could Meng Ruyan, who had been in close contact with Lu Yuan many times, not be able to sense such a shocking spiritual root aptitude?

However, Meng Ruyan would imagine the existence of the system. She might be thinking of another possibility.

“Junior Brother, the quality of your Foundation Establishment stage spiritual root… It shouldn’t be ordinary, right? At the very least, you should have achieved Foundation Establishment through the way of the earth! With your cultivation, you don’t have to be afraid of Chen Yan.”

“As for the situation with Great Xia’s imperial family, you’ll understand once 1 explain it to you. As a force supported by the Qingyun Sect in the mortal world, there is a rule that cannot be violated in the Great Xia’s imperial family. That is, the Emperor of every generation in the Great Xia Kingdom is one who can’t cultivate.”

“It’s because the sect is worried that someone will occupy the position and have unnecessary thoughts. To make up for this, the Qingyun Sect will regularly take in a few imperial family disciples to the sect for cultivation. Back then, Chen Yan was one of those people.”

“The Ye family that I’m from is an unaffiliated cultivator family in the Great Xia Kingdom. My father, who is the family head of the Ye family, has reached the Pseudo Core Stage and is the imperial advisor of the Great Xia Kingdom. The so-called Pseudo Core Stage refers to those who had no hope of reaching the Core Formation stage and thus gave up in exchange for power between the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Core Formation Stage.”

“My engagement was set by the Emperor before my father reached the Pseudo Core Stage. From a certain perspective, what the Great Xia’s imperial family did back then wasn’t very fair. That’s why 1 can afford to belittle Chen Yan so much. Before 1 came up the mountain, my father told me that as long as 1 can become a direct disciple, then 1 can decide on my own marriage with Chen Yan. So, do you understand why Chen Yan wanted to announce the cancellation of the engagement in the sect a few years ago? At this point, are you still worried about your trip to the Great Xia Kingdom?”

If Lu Yuan still didn’t understand Meng Ruyan’s words, then his IQwould be worrying.

Even though there was enmity between him and Chen Yan, and the latter was a member of Great Xia’s imperial family, Senior Sister Meng Ruyan had a Pseudo Core Stage imperial advisor as her father!

In terms of background, he didn’t have to worry about anything.

Furthermore, through this incident, Lu Yuan could somehow guess how Meng Ruyan had managed to sneak into the Qingyun Sect.

The fact that the Ye family’s family head could become a Pseudo Core Stage cultivator must have something to do with the power behind this demoness.

Wait… The number one family in the Great Xia Kingdom seemed to be colluding with external forces.

Damn it, so this base camp had indeed been infiltrated!

The plot reversed so quickly that Lu Yuan was caught off guard.

After going around for so long, to think he went ran from the territory of one group of spies to the territory of another group of spies!

The only good news was that the spies didn’t know that he knew they were spies.

That being said, the Great Xia Kingdom…. Could he really go?
