Li Su had absolute assurance, and he believed that even if she sent more people, the strongest she could send was a Refinement Void cultivator in the early to middle stages.
It was impossible for anyone beyond the Refinement Void stage. Even the early to middle stages of the Refinement Void were unlikely. Even in a more prosperous region where the sect leader’s family was located, Refinement Void cultivators wouldn’t be readily available.
Let alone Refinement Void, even Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn’t be easy to find. However, the concentration of talented individuals with Celestial Spiritual Roots in the sect allowed many of them to achieve Nascent Soul within a few hundred or thousand years, even if they had Third-Rank Celestial Spiritual Roots.
The woman likely wouldn’t send strong individuals from her family, as this matter had to remain confidential. The Refinement Void cultivators from her family might not cooperate with her, given that reaching the Refinement Void stage required unwavering conviction, and her family members held a low opinion of her. Consequently, the chances of her family members going to great lengths for her were low. Therefore, she had to seek assistance from outsiders.
This woman was relying on her status, so it was improbable that she could hire anyone too powerful, and she might struggle to find help in the short term. Li Su’s words garnered the sect leader’s attention. The sect leader maintained a calm and composed demeanor, even during significant events. However, this time, her gaze reflected gratitude.
“Sect Leader, leave it to me. You can focus on your cultivation,” Li Su assured as he held the sect leader’s hand.
“Li Su…” The sect leader was at a loss for words, feeling indebted to him. She was aware of Li Su’s affection for her. Every time he met her since reaching the Immortal Foundation Establishment stage, his emotions were evident.
Not only that but when Li Su first met her, a regular person, he dared to embrace and kiss her. Every time she recalled that moment, her heart rate slightly quickened. However, the information from the Nascent God Peak had raised more concerns, and she didn’t want to burden Li Su.
“Master, I’ve prepared these items for you, containing everything you need to reach the fourth level of Nascent God cultivation. Once you achieve that stage, I’ll provide more for you,” Li Su stated while handing over the items he had prepared.
“Pass me your Flying Immortal Sword for a moment. I’ll refine them into middle-grade spiritual treasures. We will not need top-grade ones for now,” Li Su added. The sect leader watched as Li Su placed item after item into her hands and used her Flying Immortal Sword and defensive magical artifact to refine them.“Alright, Master, cultivation is of utmost importance. You can seclude yourself for cultivation. Leave everything else to me. Once I’ve successfully integrated this servant, I’ll return your Flying Immortal Sword to you,” Li Su reassured.
Li Su blinked and added,
“…”
His words caught the sect leader off guard. The atmosphere was initially harmonious, but Li Su unexpectedly mentioned taking concubines. Over the past few centuries, the sect leader had grown accustomed to Li Su taking concubines, and she had no way to stop him, especially now that his power surpassed her own. She could only let Li Su do as he pleased.
After finishing his words, Li Su prepared to depart. He had a few days left before his wedding to Mo Lin and needed to make thorough arrangements. This time, the wedding would take place at Mangkang Mountain.
“Li Su,” the sect leader called out as he turned around. Her voice held a hint of loneliness, and Li Su sensed her vulnerability. The sect leader, dressed in white, softly embraced him, and her fragrance was captivating. His hands found their place on her soft waist, and the embrace continued for several minutes until someone approached. Li Su let go and saw the sect leader’s aunt, who had observed the moment.
“Aunt.”
“Senior~” Li Su greeted her aunt.
“Little Su, you can call me ‘Aunt’ just like Xiao Xue does,” the Sect Leader’s aunt suggested warmly, seeming to have witnessed the earlier scene.
“Little Su, Xiao Xue relies on your help entirely. However, she possesses the spirit root and cannot bear offspring before reaching the unity phase, which would harm her spiritual root. After she reaches the unity phase, Aunt will decide to give Xiao Xue to you in marriage,” the sect leader’s aunt explained, seemingly unfazed by what she had seen.
“Ah… Thank you, Aunt!” Li Su expressed his surprise and delight. The sect leader’s cheeks turned crimson, and she quickly left the scene.
“Xiao Xue has always been quite shy. If she didn’t object and agreed to this, then it’s settled,” the sect leader’s aunt said to Li Su, seemingly unconcerned about the sect leader’s departure.
Li Su cheerfully replied, “Thank you, Aunt.” Arranged marriages could sometimes be advantageous. While he had always wanted the sect leader to bear his children, he held a special place in his heart for her and restrained his actions as he grew stronger. Li Su couldn’t directly ask the sect leader to bear his children, especially when her enemies were still unresolved. Her rare Immortal Spirit Root and successful Immortal Foundation formation made cultivation her top priority. The sect leader’s aunt’s intervention made things more manageable.
“Aunt, this elixir is specially crafted for you, and this magical treasure…” Li Su handed over various items.
