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

Chapter 524 - 522: Investigating Yuan Wang Mansion, Yuqing City Stele Ranking—Wait... Someone Actually Made the List?!

Yuan Wang’s face was filled with shock; the level of security in his mansion was definitely astounding.

There were over five Grandmasters positioned in various places, and three Mortal Realm experts were responsible for inner court safety.

Beside him, hidden away, was an Earth Realm expert!

Now, even Yin Wu Xiao was here, Yuan Wang couldn’t fathom who could infiltrate the mansion to spy on them.

Celestial Realm?!

But being Celestial Realm... shouldn’t involve such covert actions.

"Someone, go inspect the rooftop, see if anyone’s been here."

In an instant, Yuan Wang summoned people inside, regardless of whether Yin Wu Xiao’s sensing could be trusted.

The urgent matter at hand was first to inspect, and if any traces were left, it might indicate that someone indeed came here before!

Regarding this, Yin Wu Xiao’s eyes were deep and did not stop Yuan Wang’s actions.

He also wanted to see if others could uncover something.

Moments later, two Mortal Realm Grandmasters arrived, dashed onto the rooftop and began meticulously examining.

The final result, however, was that they didn’t find any trace of anyone having been there.

Everything was intact without any signs of movement.

"State Preceptor, the ones who checked returned, could it be you sensed it wrong? Was there some bird landing on top?"

Upon hearing the final investigating result, Yuan Wang asked Yin Wu Xiao.

"I’ll go have a look." Yin Wu Xiao paused briefly, then gave this response, afterwards, his figure quietly appeared on the rooftop of the hall.

His eyes, like an owl under the night’s curtain, sharply scanned the surroundings.

But after a moment, Yin Wu Xiao gently shook his head.

This space... indeed held no foreign traces.

"Did I truly sense it wrong..."

The thought emerged within him, marking the first time Yin Wu Xiao felt unsure.

But the current result showed nothing felt; if there really was someone, Yin Wu Xiao is confident that anyone below Celestial Realm couldn’t escape his perception.

No matter how well they obscured their presence, the surroundings would somehow show fluctuations of Heaven and Earth Source Qi, yet all was normal here, not even a ripple appeared.

Yuan Wang walked out from the hall, looking up at the rooftop, questioning the State Preceptor: "How is it, State Preceptor?"

Yin Wu Xiao shook his head, replied solemnly: "Perhaps, I was indeed too sensitive."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Wang also breathed a sigh of relief, laughed: "No need for self-blame, having you as the State Preceptor is indeed my fortune, hahaha."

...

Elsewhere, after quietly leaving Yuan Wang Mansion, Lu Ye didn’t expect Yin Wu Xiao could perceive something amiss at the last moment.

Fortunately, no mishap occurred while leaving.

"Worthy of Earth Realm Ninth Layer, this Perception Power truly exceeds ordinary levels."

Lu Ye was certain under the Dao Pavilion’s concealment, no presence could possibly leak out.

Yin Wu Xiao sensed something wrong purely by his sixth sense.

However, after close observation of Yin Wu Xiao, Lu Ye felt an understanding.

Yin Wu Xiao is strong indeed, but...

He did not incite strong apprehension within Lu Ye.

Once he reached the first on Qing Province’s stone monument, strengthening his Seven-star Realm again, Lu Ye was at least ninety percent certain to bury the Celestial Demon Divine Sect’s remnant Yin Wu Xiao in Qing Province!

Returning to the inn, Lu Ye didn’t step out for the next two days.

Soon, the third day arrived.

Because he intended to alarm Yuqing City to attract Yin Wu Xiao, Lu Ye didn’t deliberately wait for nightfall to proceed to Yuqing City square.

Instead, he went directly during the day; the square was bustling with many people.

At the monument of Qing Province, many were attempting.

To them, getting on the list was certainly hopeless.

But occasionally coming every other month to try was akin to cheering for their own future, hoping their name might appear someday.

Watching this scene, Lu Ye was not in haste, he queued behind these people, watching them proceed one by one.

"Are you here to play at getting on the list?"

Ahead of Lu Ye was a round-faced middle-aged man, around forty years old, nearing the monument’s age limit.

Seeing the noticeably younger Lu Ye behind, he spoke familiarly.

Lu Ye looked too young, so the round-faced man assumed he was here casually.

After all, those with some confidence would not queue behind these idle people now.

They would have already boldly cleared their way to the monument.

No one genuinely capable of getting on the list would be this low-key.

Upon hearing this, looking at the familiar round-faced man, Lu Ye smiled, nodded: "Yes, just taking a casual look."

"Sigh, us ordinary people can only occasionally try, those capable are all young and part of big powers, they are prodigies."

The round-faced middle-aged man said, patting his belly.

Soon it was the round-faced man’s turn; he marched up, quickly wrote his name.

Zhang Sheng.

Unfortunately, his name turned into a ray of light, barely preparing to ascend, soon began to descend, disappearing.

This scene was the most common occurrence.

Zhang Sheng clearly expected it, shrugged, inviting Lu Ye up.

"Young man, give it a try, it’s quite fun."

Lu Ye smiled, nodded, came to the monument, soared into the air, casually writing ’Lu Yan’ mid-air.

This move, Lu Ye had gone through several times, now completely unfazed.

Zhang Sheng, who stepped aside, looked toward the monument, and in the next second, he saw the name the young man wrote didn’t fall like theirs, immediately.

In fact... it quickly surged upward?!

"What is this?!"

Witnessing this, Zhang Sheng was stunned.

Everyone was supposed to be playing, now why... was there a difference?!

"He’s serious?!"

The current scene signified Lu Ye’s success getting on the list; the light stream was already reaching the top thirty.

And continued climbing rapidly.

In the square, originally some noise still lingered, now vanished.

Everyone gazed at the hundred-meter monument, utterly astonished.
