Brother-in-law, just try one bite. It’s a token of my heart~~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Towards the end, she even had a bit of a coquettish tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching her private little airfield swaying in front of him, Lu Ye quickly grabbed Jiang Lingyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop swaying, I’m getting airsick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not sure why, but despite being sisters, the difference between them was so vast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, tell me what you want to ask.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s nothing scary, it’s just...\" Jiang Lingyue leaned closer, bringing a fragrant breeze, whispering, \"Two bodies showed up in the city’s alley. It’s said they were killed in one blow, suspected to be by finger technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother-in-law, you didn’t do it, did you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bodies appeared in the city, and as the Jiang Family had a dominant position in Cloud Leaf City, they got the news through certain channels right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, not many people in the Jiang Family cared about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the great world of Martial Dao, which day doesn’t involve death? There’s nothing strange about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Lingyue, who had just returned, wasn’t too concerned either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon unintentionally hearing that the deceased were killed by a very fierce finger technique attack, she immediately got interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fist, palm, leg techniques, swords, and spears are mainstream paths martial artists cultivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for finger techniques... they’re considered niche martial arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ye showed a trace of surprise, \"This isn’t scary? You’d expect me to kill chickens when I’m scared of that. Do I seem like such a bold person to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By Lu Ye’s estimation, the bodies should have been discovered much earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t expect it to be delayed until the evening before news started to spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also proves that particular area is quite remote.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Lingyue stared straight at Lu Ye, apparently not convinced by his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is there really anyone afraid of killing chickens these days?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing Lu Ye’s calm demeanor, Jiang Lingyue stared for a while before giving up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, maybe it wasn’t you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean maybe? I, Lu Ye, stand firm and act righteously. If I say it wasn’t me, then it wasn’t.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ye explained, \"Even though finger technique is less practiced, that rarity means those who do are extraordinary when they make a move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s like training for three years to astonish the world with one move. Among the finger technique experts in the city, there should be at least a hundred.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it, Jiang Lingyue also felt it made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though few cultivate finger techniques, in a city as vast as Cloud Leaf City with nearly a million people, at least a twenty or thirty percent are martial artists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having a few hundred who’ve practiced finger techniques isn’t exaggerating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then, I’ve finished asking. Brother-in-law, hurry and eat, don’t worry, I didn’t drug it.\" Jiang Lingyue said with a mischievous smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ye didn’t stand on ceremony, taking one bite after another, finishing everything in no time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting beside Lu Ye, watching him finish everything, Jiang Lingyue’s eyes squinted into crescents with her smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is it, tasty?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad.\" Lu Ye said, \"You didn’t just come to bring food, did you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not, I’m here to bring you silver.\" Jiang Lingyue counting on her fingers, said, \"In a few days, the Worldwide Escort Agency under our Jiang family will have a shipment to Luohua City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you’re short on silver, I plan to add you to the guard team. Of course, all you have to do is collect a hundred taels of silver at the end.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Lu Ye was a bit surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just being a guard one could earn a hundred taels of silver?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though escorting a shipment is a dangerous job, akin to licking blood off the knife’s edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a regular escort, a mid-stage Condensing Origin guard would consider ten or twenty taels a good reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only late-stage Condensing Origin and Postnatal Realm escorts get increased pay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That hundred taels likely represent a Postnatal Realm leader’s income for that escort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, Jiang Lingyue continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think the escort silver is high? I calculated it as if you were at the Postnatal Realm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ye pondered for a moment, they’re considering him at the Postnatal Realm...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this bratty sister-in-law have figured out his true level?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never showed any signs of being in the Postnatal Realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ye calmly asked, \"Why calculate at the Postnatal Realm level?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As soon as I returned, I heard you were in the Condensing Origin Seventh Layer. Brother-in-law, you’ve hidden it well from me.\" Jiang Lingyue gazed at Lu Ye with a hint of grievance in her tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ye composedly said, \"It’s not that I didn’t tell you. It’s not excessive to keep some cards to yourself while roaming the martial world. It’s not like I’d tell you the color of my underpants, that’s inappropriate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pah! Brother-in-law, your comparison is awful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Lu Ye’s serene face, always shrouded in a layer of mystery, Jiang Lingyue’s intelligent eyes moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He always has this unruffled look, as if he has everything under control, nothing can disturb his peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She can’t believe in that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having an idea, Jiang Lingyue suddenly leaned in, her voice trembling, \"Who says you can’t say it, if you want to know... Lingyue isn’t unwilling to tell you, hmm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she finished, Jiang Lingyue quickly retreated, a bashful red blooming on her perfectly crafted cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ye: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This era isn’t Blue Star, and concepts are very conservative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Jiang Lingyue is usually lively and witty, Lu Ye never expected this little devil to be so bold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Lu Ye understood she was just talking, but it still surprised him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glimpsing at Lu Ye’s slightly helpless expression, Jiang Lingyue secretly chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Always staying so composed, so confident!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can crack my sister’s defense, but I can crack yours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t joke like that, it damages your image.\" Lu Ye regained his composure, saying calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s okay; I only say it in front of you.\" Jiang Lingyue changed the topic, \"Weren’t you asking why the escort fee is calculated at the Postnatal Realm rate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because I’m giving you a backdoor deal. Even though you’re at the Condensing Origin Seventh Layer, I’m counting your compensation as the Postnatal Realm. Can’t let the benefits flow outside, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother-in-law, I’ve never given anyone a backdoor before. Didn’t I do well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that’s it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ye nearly thought he’d exposed something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Jiang Lingyue’s still slightly blushed face, Lu Ye patted her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since that’s the case, thank you very much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a hundredfold talent boost, Lu Ye advanced to the Postnatal Seventh Layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inner strength in his dantian surged again, becoming more substantial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early in the morning, someone knocked on Lu Ye’s courtyard gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ye opened the door, and outside stood the gallant Jiang Lingyue, carrying a Mortal Lower Grade Longsword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother-in-law, time to escort, let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re going too?\" Lu Ye was puzzled; she hadn’t mentioned she’d be going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why, looking down on me? I, Jiang Lingyue, am also at the Condensing Origin Sixth Layer! My sword is yet to fail!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1219,"2026-06-03T03:06:21.986Z","2026-06-03T03:06:27.167Z",1,"novelbin.me","ee4a7c31f2e784cce293c5fa150dbbb71c649e855141bf42246bca9160589390","cultivation-the-rise-of-a-live-in-son-in-law-chapter-18","cultivation-the-rise-of-a-live-in-son-in-law-chapter-16",512,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivation-the-rise-of-a-live-in-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
