Looking at Liu Zhen, who rushed over, Jiang Lingyue bit her lip, glanced at him, and then fixed her gaze back on the mysterious black-clad Innate.
Liu Zhen bowed and smiled apologetically, "Senior, she's young and doesn't know any better. Please don't take it to heart."
After a moment of silence, the mysterious black-clad Innate finally spoke, "No worries, just true nature."
Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Lingyue was a bit disappointed.
Because it wasn't the voice of Lu Ye, which she was accustomed to hearing.
Seeing that this mysterious senior didn't seem angry, Liu Zhen finally felt relieved and went to handle other matters.
Jiang Lingyue cautiously asked, "Senior, may I be so bold as to ask your name?"
Beneath the black clothes, Lu Ye knew that this person must have noticed something.
That's why she dared to have the courage to come before a mysterious Innate and ask such questions.
If not, encountering a truly unfamiliar and temperamental Innate Realm, even considering the Jiang Family's favor, she couldn't escape a reprimand.
Looking at Jiang Lingyue, who appeared curious like a little cat, eagerly waiting for an answer.
Underneath the black clothes, with a cold snort, Lu Ye slightly displeased, said, "You seem to be talking a bit too much."
Face turning pale, Jiang Lingyue quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, senior, I was impudent!"
In fact, Jiang Lingyue also felt uneasy.
This person before her... could strike down an Innate Fourth Layer with a single blow!
Her brother-in-law doesn't seem like an Innate Realm master at all.
If he truly were Innate, would he come to the Jiang Family to marry in?
Considering all details, Jiang Lingyue was now quite hesitant.
At this moment, Chen Lingxiang unexpectedly walked over as well.
"Thank you for your help, senior." Chen Lingxiang bowed deeply to Lu Ye.
Chen Lingxiang was truly grateful.
If not for this suddenly appearing powerful Innate Realm master, tonight... she would have been completely defeated.
Lu Ye did not speak.
Chen Lingxiang didn't mind; strong individuals of this caliber usually have their temperaments, which is very normal.
"May I ask for your honorable name, senior? If you have time, please visit our Chen Family." Chen Lingxiang said, "This great favor, Lingxiang will remember deeply!"
The black-clad man said indifferently, "Chen Beixuan."
After pondering for a moment, Chen Lingxiang said, "Senior Beixuan, if you're available, could you provide a way to contact you? There's an opportunity, and Lingxiang would like to invite you to explore together."
If not for this mysterious figure suddenly showing up, she wouldn't even be sure to save her own life.
After careful consideration, Chen Lingxiang decided to share the opportunity she had secured with this mysterious Innate.
Moreover, the mysterious Innate's combat power was exceedingly strong, and teaming up with him would increase her odds significantly.
Lu Ye was indeed somewhat interested in this matter.
After all, something that could trouble an Innate Fourth Layer to bring men to rob an escort must certainly be beneficial for Inmates.
Having agreed on a date with Chen Lingxiang, Lu Ye said solemnly, "I still have matters to attend to."
With those words, Lu Ye immediately activated the Perfection Realm Falling Leaves Body Technique and disappeared in a flash, like a floating leaf.
Chen Lingxiang marveled once more.
Previously, when observing the battle scenario from the carriage, she thought the mysterious black-clad man was just a mere Postnatal Eighth Layer engaged with Zhang Hu.
Yet he mastered the Fine Rain Sword Technique to the Perfection Realm and had a Perfection Realm Body Technique, which was unreasonable.
After all, Chen Lingxiang had practiced the Fine Rain Sword Technique for years and had only barely reached Great Success.
But now, seeing the mysterious black-clad man as a Supreme Innate... everything made perfect sense.
Jiang Lingyue, ever since feeling that the mysterious black-clad man was not Lu Ye, no longer devoted all her attention to him.
At this time, she gazed around at the people clearing the battlefield and tending to the wounded...
Everywhere were people, yet Lu Ye was nowhere to be seen.
Where did Lu Ye, who was so noticeable, disappear to?
Chen Lingxiang was also curious, seeing as the two of them were together just that afternoon, she couldn't help but ask, "Where is your brother-in-law?"
Biting her lip, Jiang Lingyue's voice was choked, "He... seems to have disappeared."
Disappeared amidst the battlefield chaos?
After thinking for a moment, Chen Lingxiang patted Jiang Lingyue's shoulder, gently comforting her, "He... won't be in any trouble."
What initially slipped out was the phrase "condolences."
But Chen Lingxiang felt that being honest might be a bit too harsh, so she purposefully changed to the latter sentence.
It wasn't that Chen Lingxiang intended to scare anyone, but amidst such chaotic battles, anything could happen.
But soon, one of the escorts cleaning the battlefield unexpectedly discovered an unconscious person behind a large rock at the edge of the dense forest.
"Come quickly, there is another injured person here... it seems to be Second Miss's person!"
Jiang Lingyue was stunned, someone of hers? She promptly went over to see.
The next second, her eyes widened in shock.
Behind the large rock lay a figure with many blood stains on the body.
It was clearly Lu Ye, who had gone missing for quite a while!
Not far from him was the headless corpse of a bandit.
She hurried over to check for breathing, and upon finding that he was still breathing, she sighed in relief.
Lu Ye: "..."
Feeling Jiang Lingyue's outrageous action, Lu Ye almost failed at pretending to be unconscious.
Liu Zhen also hurried over. Regardless of whether this Jiang Family's son-in-law was valued by the Jiang Family, Liu Zhen had to take it seriously.
A gentle wave of inner strength was infused, and Liu Zhen advised, "Second Miss, you can pinch your brother-in-law's philtrum."
"Alright." Jiang Lingyue immediately reached out and pressed a fingernail onto Lu Ye's philtrum.
Lu Ye quickly "woke" up faintly, fearing that if Jiang Lingyue saw him not waking, she might not hold back when trying again.
"Brother-in-law, you're awake?" Jiang Lingyue looked at him covered in blood, showing a hint of concern, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I killed a bandit before, but unexpectedly another one came. I fought him for a long time and finally killed him, but I was exhausted and passed out." Lu Ye calmly narrated the story of what happened to him.
Jiang Lingyue knew he was at least of Condensing Origin Seventh Layer.
To prevent recognition that the headless corpse was of the Condensing Origin Fourth Layer who first found him, thus avoiding Jiang Lingyue's suspicion, Lu Ye kindly gave the opponent a headshot.
"As long as you're okay, hehe, then you two chat, I'll go organize the team." Liu Zhen said and left.
"Brother-in-law, you passed out at the worst possible time." Jiang Lingyue said.
"You wouldn't believe it, but later, three Innate Realms suddenly appeared! By the way, this Sister Chen Lingxiang here is Innate!"
Standing beside Jiang Lingyue, Chen Lingxiang stared at the "awakened" Lu Ye, with a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, then she gently shook her head.
"Lingxiang's trivial skill is of no significance in front of that Supreme Innate..."
Pausing for a moment, Chen Lingxiang suddenly called out nonchalantly.
"Chen Beixuan."
Jiang Lingyue curiously asked, "Sister Lingxiang, why are you calling that Innate senior?"
Casually scanning over Lu Ye's face, she noticed Lu Ye also showed a hint of confusion. Chen Lingxiang shook her head, smiling, "Nothing, just suddenly thought of that senior."
On the surface, Lu Ye appeared puzzled, but inwardly he was tense.
Chen Lingxiang... such meticulous thinking!
