Zhang Jiangye

After speaking, Su Yu followed Ling Wanqing as they left the Star Sea Sect.

Looking at Ling Wanqing's current appearance, Su Yu still felt something was a bit off.

She was dressed a bit differently today, appearing more dignified and imposing than usual.

Seeing this, Su Yu wasn't sure what they were going to do.

Su Yu asked, "It's time to tell me what's going on, right?"

Ling Wanqing replied, "It's nothing major. It's just that my disciple, Yun Ruyan, wants to introduce someone to me."

"Introduce someone? Could it be…"

"Exactly. As her Master, I need to vet him for her. Besides, Ruyan can be said to have grown up under my watch; she is like a daughter to me."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu understood.

Ling Wanqing was quite a bit older than him, though that was only in comparison to a Mortal.

In the Cultivation World, an age gap of a hundred or even a thousand years was quite common.

Ling Wanqing said, "You should change your clothes a bit too. We are the elders, after all; we need to maintain some dignity."

This was also Ling Wanqing's first time experiencing something like this.

Seeing this, Su Yu waved his hand and changed his outfit.

Su Yu looked at Ling Wanqing and said, "You should listen to me and wear those clothes I prepared for you; that would be interesting."

Ling Wanqing replied, "No way. Those clothes of yours are too peculiar. Others wouldn't understand them; only you have such interests."

Su Yu smiled.

He didn't say anything more.

For this matter, he was appearing in his capacity as the Master's partner.

He would just observe when the time came; it wasn't his place to say much.

This had to be said by Ling Wanqing.

Su Yu could tell that Ling Wanqing was somewhat eager.

Following the location information, Ling Wanqing arrived nearby.

Yun Ruyan was already waiting for their arrival.

At this moment, in a courtyard, Yun Ruyan was feeling somewhat nervous.

A man appeared beside her, and it was evident from his expression that he was also very nervous.

Although he had heard Yun Ruyan talk about her Master, it was different now that he was about to meet her in person.

Jiang Ye looked at Yun Ruyan and said, "I wonder how your Master will view this."

"Don't worry. My Master is very easy to talk to. Besides, she even found a Master's partner for herself without telling me."

The two had known each other for a long time in the Spirit Realm.

Many experiences had fostered feelings between them.

They hadn't spoken about it before because they were shy, but things were different now.

"My Master is arriving soon, so get ready. I can already sense my Master's Qi."

Jiang Ye hurriedly tidied himself up. Although Yun Ruyan said her Master's cultivation wasn't high, that didn't change anything.

In Yun Ruyan's heart, her Master held a position similar to her parents.

Ling Wanqing had already arrived at the location.

"This is the place. Let's go in."

With that, Ling Wanqing knocked on the courtyard gate.

Upon hearing the sound, Yun Ruyan became even more nervous. "They're here."

She opened the gate and saw Su Yu and the other. "Master, you're here! I've been waiting for a long time. Come in, quickly."

With that, the two entered.

Jiang Ye hurriedly stood up and approached the two.

"Greetings, Senior Ling and Senior Su. I am Jiang Ye."

Ling Wanqing looked at the Jiang Ye before her and examined him carefully.

Judging by his appearance alone, he indeed looked like a refined Young Master, and his temperament was quite good.

Yun Ruyan saw Ling Wanqing observing Jiang Ye and said, "Master, this is the person I mentioned. Let's go inside and sit down."

With that, the four of them entered the courtyard.

The two opposite them were looking nervously at Ling Wanqing, who was sizing them up.

Su Yu, for the moment, was ignored by them.

For some reason, the pressure Ling Wanqing was exerting was unexpectedly great.

Even Su Yu, who was on the side, could feel it, so he simply remained silent.

After watching for a moment, Ling Wanqing smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. Look at how tense you two are."

"Master, it's because the pressure you're giving off is too great."

"Aren't you going to tell your Master about the two of you? Let me hear about it."

Hearing this, Yun Ruyan recovered a bit, though she still felt somewhat shy talking about such things.

Nevertheless, she began to tell Ling Wanqing and the other about their story.

How they met and their unforgettable experiences—these had all stood the test of time.

As time passed, Ling Wanqing understood most of it.

"I see. It seems you two have been through quite a lot. Ruyan, I didn't expect you to be so proactive."

Yun Ruyan felt embarrassed by this. "Master, you…"

"Master, you're one to talk. You haven't told us anything about the two of you."

Ling Wanqing replied, "That is a secret between me and your Master's partner."

"That's so unfair, Master!"

The four of them also chatted about other matters, and Ling Wanqing inquired about Jiang Ye's situation.

She had a good impression of him.

Ling Wanqing looked at the two and said, "As your Master, I won't say anything against you pursuing what you want."

She turned to look at Jiang Ye. "I am entrusting Ruyan to you. You must not let her suffer any grievances."

"If I find out, I will not let you off easily."

"I understand, Senior Ling. Rest assured."

"Mm, that's good. We won't disturb you two any further. Ruyan, contact your Master if anything comes up."

"I know, Master. If you need anything, Master, you can come to me too."

"And if your Master's partner dares to bully you, the same applies."

"Don't worry. Your Master's partner is different. Besides, he might not be able to beat me."

Su Yu smiled helplessly.

With that, the two waved goodbye.

The two watched Su Yu and the others leave. "We finally passed Master's test."

"It's fortunate that Master is actually very easy to talk to, but it's been a long time since I've felt this kind of pressure from her."

"It instantly took me back to when I was young."

On the way back, Ling Wanqing looked at Su Yu and said, "I need to investigate this Jiang Ye further. I recall that the Jiang Family is not simple."

Su Yu replied, "You are still as cautious as ever. I, on the other hand, think it should be fine."

With that, Ling Wanqing brought Su Yu to the vicinity of the Jiang Family.

The Jiang Family was not a simple Family.

Although the Jiang Family where Jiang Ye resided couldn't compare to the super families, it was not bad either.

However, some things had happened in the Jiang Family in the past.

This resulted in their reputation not being very good, so Ling Wanqing decided to investigate before saying anything more.

Rather than calling it an investigation, it was more like coming to have a look.

With her current abilities, she would basically know everything after watching for a while. In the eyes of the two of them, the Jiang Family had virtually no secrets; it was almost transparent.
