Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!

Chapter 295

Observing Peak Master Dieyun’s growing belly, Li Su decided to have her relocate to the inner courtyard, where the spiritual energy was denser, making it more suitable for her care. Despite not officially tying the knot, their relationship had progressed, and Li Su considered her his woman, having fathered her child during their time together in the cave mansion.

“Inner courtyard… alright,” Peak Master Dieyun agreed. Leading her towards the Li Clan’s inner courtyard, they coincidentally encountered the entourage of the Saintess’ Zixue, a green-clad girl.

“Li Su, what a coincidence! Someone with the last name ‘Lu’ sent something, and I was about to fetch it. Mind waiting?” The green-clad girl asked. Li Su nodded, leading Peak Master Dieyun into the inner courtyard.

Later, the green-clad girl informed Saintess Zixue about the encounter with Li Su, who, despite her cultivation, had an ice-cold stare. Unaware of Peak Master Dieyun’s condition, the green-clad girl had to reveal the truth.

“Holy Maiden, I noticed Lord Dieyun’s growing belly. She tried to conceal it, but I noticed,” the green-clad girl explained. The Saintess Zixue, initially puzzled, learned that Peak Master Dieyun was pregnant with Li Su’s child.

“Xiao Lu, are you sure?” She asked, surprised. The green-clad girl nodded, explaining Dieyun’s demeanor. The Saintess, now aware of the situation, pondered the unexpected turn of events.

I didn’t expect this. Even Peak Master Dieyun, close to the Nascent Soul stage, is pregnant with Li Su’s child. Has the Returning Origin Sect sensed our actions? she wondered, analyzing the situation with urgency.

“Saintess, with Dieyun and the Sect Master being so close, winning over Li Su becomes much more challenging,” the green-clad girl concluded, prompting Saintess Zixue to contemplate a strategy.

As a top-tier immortal sect, the Returning Origin Sect, while not as dominant as the Holy Sect, still wielded considerable power. Now that Peak Master Dieyun was expecting Li Su’s child, it was likely that Li Su would be less inclined to seek refuge at the Xuantian Academy. The Returning Origin Sect could help shield Li Su from a substantial number of adversaries. Although a first-class immortal sect might not match the might of the Holy Sect, it was undeniably potent.

“Saintess, considering the current situation, winning over Li Su would require a formidable adversary, beyond even the capabilities of the Returning Origin Sect, to make him realize that only the Holy Sect can offer him protection. However, in the short term, facing such an opponent seems unlikely.”

“Otherwise, our chances of success are not promising,” the young woman in green continued her analysis. At this moment, Saintess Zixue picked up the Oracle Token and appeared to be perusing the messages within. After reading, she set down the Oracle Token.

“Xiao Lu, act as if you’re unaware of this matter, and let’s bide our time a bit longer,” Saintess Zixue suggested.

“Saintess, wait for what?” The young woman in green inquired. Saintess Zixue handed the Oracle Token to her.

“A few decades ago, two Nascent Soul cultivators were dispatched to deal with Li Su. The outcome was one dead and one injured.”

“The injured Nascent Soul cultivator sought refuge at the Xuantian Academy a few months ago, claiming that a woman had been pursuing him for decades. He disclosed some intriguing information to the academy,” Saintess Zixue revealed.

“Oh?” The young woman in green took the Oracle Token, absorbed the information, and a look of surprise crossed her pretty face.

“That Immortal Spirit Root, Dongfang Xue? She’s actually here!” the young woman exclaimed. She knew the sect leader as Shangguan Xue, but in her memory, she was referred to as Dongfang Xue.

“Yes, but we shouldn’t make contact with Dongfang Xue’s force. She’s linked to too many influential forces,” Saintess Zixue cautioned.

“It appears that Old Ancestor Dongfang has been driven to madness by the Five Calamities of Heaven and Man, allowing a woman to target such a genius. If nothing unexpected happens, in another hundred years, Li Su may have to confront individuals from the Purple Gold Holy Sect,” Saintess Zixue said.

“Saintess, if the Purple Gold Holy Sect discovers Li Su’s exceptional talent, they may hesitate to act. However, women will certainly attempt to obstruct information about Li Su, and the individuals they send might not be too formidable. Still, there could be Nascent Soul cultivators among them.”

“I, on the other hand, hope that the individuals they send are as potent as possible. The more enemies Li Su accumulates, the better for us. Our opportunity will come!” The young woman in green was practically glowing with excitement. After witnessing Peak Master Dieyun pregnant with Li Su’s child, she felt that things were taking a turn for the worse. With the Returning Origin Sect investing so much, merely waiting around wouldn’t suffice. In her view, the only way to level the playing field was for Saintess Zixue to also bear a child for Li Su. However, she naturally didn’t dare to bring up this idea to Saintess Zixue.

At this juncture, they required an external force to steer things in the right direction. It would be optimal if they could introduce an adversary that even the Returning Origin Sect couldn’t handle, prompting Li Su to recognize that the Returning Origin Sect couldn’t shield him and that the Holy Sect was his best sanctuary. With this strategy in motion, their prospects would significantly improve.
