Chapter 395

As members of the Ji family arrived, Li Su warmly welcomed them. Guests were treated with courtesy as long as they didn’t cause trouble. With the wedding approaching, more visitors streamed in, arriving ahead of time.

Many arrived early, making it impossible for everyone to come on the same day. The surroundings outside Li Manor became lively. On that day, Li Su received a message from the Sect Leader’s aunt. The Sect Leader’s parents had arrived and wanted to meet Li Su. This news didn’t surprise Li Su too much.

The sect leader’s parents weren’t unkind to her, but a past incident involving another woman causing trouble took advantage of their absence. Unlike her aunt, who searched everywhere for her, the sect leader’s parents had another daughter after she left.

Over the years, the sect leader’s parents guarded their daughter in the Purple Gold Holy Lands, never visiting her. Understandably, they were cautious due to the presence of the woman’s son, fearing he might take advantage of their daughter.

Previously, the woman had sent people multiple times, but the news never spread. The last time it did, Li Su’s formidable strength caused trouble for the Purple Gold Holy Lands.

After that incident, Li Su’s power and potential were evident, earning favor from many Holy Lands to protect the sect leader. This might be why the sect leader’s parents didn’t seek her out. However, there might still be some lingering grievances from the sect leader. Upon receiving the news, Li Su went to the Flying Immortal Sect.

Soon, in the Flying Immortal Sect’s main hall, Li Su met the sect leader’s parents. They appeared middle-aged, currently at the Nascent Soul stage, not yet at the Refinement Void stage. A young girl, likely the sect leader’s sister, Dongfang Ning, accompanied them.

Dongfang Ning resembled the sect leader but fell slightly short in beauty. Perhaps sheltered and younger, she seemed carefree, reminiscent of naive and sweet characters from TV dramas.

As for her cultivation, Dongfang Ning had reached the Nascent Soul stage, which was commendable. With her over a hundred years younger than the sect leader, achieving Nascent Soul likely indicated exceptional innate talent. The sect leader’s family was unique, having two prodigies in the sect leader’s parents.

However, both of them have aged prematurely. Considering their cultivation level and age, their lives hadn’t even reached half of their expected span. He wondered if this premature aging was due to having two prodigies in their family. Such a situation didn’t exist in the Li family.

Among the women associated with Li Su, except for the Hai Clan, there had been quite a few births, but never had there been a situation where childbirth resulted in physical depletion. Generally, female cultivators tended to avoid becoming pregnant when there was a risk of such depletion. When Li Su appeared, the sect leader’s aunt looked at him curiously.

The sect leader remained calm and composed on the side. “Li Su, come here. Let me introduce you. These are Xiao Xue’s father and mother.” Seeing Li Su’s arrival, the sect leader’s aunt took the initiative to step forward and make introductions.

“Uncle, Auntie, hello,” Li Su politely greeted them. “And this is Xiao Xue’s younger sister, Ning’er.”

The sect leader’s aunt then proceeded to introduce Dongfang Ning. Li Su nodded slightly in acknowledgment towards her.

“Li Su, thanks to your care for Xiao Xue over these years, the situation in the Purple Gold Holy Lands has been complex. A few years ago, Ning’er was in seclusion, advancing towards Nascent Soul. While our hearts were concerned for Xiao Xue, we haven’t found an opportunity to leave. Those people associated with that woman keep a close watch on us. If we were to leave the Purple Gold Holy Lands, we might become leverage for her to threaten Xiao Xue.”

“After Ning’er broke through to Nascent Soul a few years ago, we’ve wanted to find an opportunity to come out. With the news of your marriage to Xiao Xue spreading this time, the influential figures behind the Purple Gold Holy Son may intend to improve their relationship with you. They specifically sent people to escort us here.” After the meeting, the sect leader’s father spoke at length, clarifying the reasons for their inability to visit the sect leader in recent years. They likely did this out of concern, fearing Li Su might harbor grievances for their absence. “Li Su, this is our first meeting with your upcoming marriage to Xiao Xue. Please accept this gift as a token of our meeting.”

At this moment, the sect leader’s mother took out an exquisite storage pouch and placed it in Li Su’s hands. “Thank you, Uncle, Auntie,” Li Su expressed his gratitude as he accepted it. Seeing Li Su accept the gift, the sect leader’s mother revealed a kind smile and couldn’t help but appraise Li Su with her gaze, showing a satisfied expression.

“Li Su, your name has been renowned worldwide these years, even echoing in the Purple Gold Holy Lands. Today, seeing you in person, we feel at ease entrusting Xiao Xue to you.” The sect leader’s mother continued, expressing considerable satisfaction. On the other hand, Li Su became intrigued by the implications behind the words of the sect leader’s father.

The sect leader’s father mentioned that influential figures behind the Purple Gold Holy Son specifically escorted their trip here. It appeared that these influential figures behind the Purple Gold Holy Son intended to resolve conflicts with Li Su. After all, Li Su had gained favor from numerous Holy Lands, and many Holy Lands had married off their saintesses.

Moreover, during the previous Peach Immortal Pavilion event, it became widely known among many sacred places where an immortal spirit root existed within Li Su’s household. The future prospects of the Li family were immeasurable. Having such an enemy was not a good situation. If it were possible to suppress them, that would be fine. But the current issue was that they could not be suppressed at all.

Before they even noticed, Li Su had already grown up. Therefore, such powerful figures began to have such thoughts. There wasn’t much conflict between Li Su and the Purple Gold Holy Land. Last time, the Purple Gold Holy Land suffered a loss.

However, with the Purple Gold Holy Son present, if the other side was determined to protect him, this relationship might not be easily repaired. Unless they were willing to give up the Purple Gold Holy Son, that woman from the Dongfang family repeatedly sent people to deal with the sect leader, and each time resorting to lethal measures, this matter would not be easily overlooked.

But Li Su didn’t inquire much about this matter. Seeing that the sect leader didn’t seem to have strong opinions about her parents but also didn’t show excessive enthusiasm, Li Su handled it appropriately. Her parents probably felt indebted to the sect leader for too much, and this visit also brought many things to the sect leader.

They didn’t meddle in the sect leader’s marriage plans but left it to their aunt to arrange. After knowing each other for so many years, Li Su and the sect leader already had an understanding between them. Li Su knew how to handle her parents without the sect leader needing to say anything. Her parents, in turn, seemed particularly satisfied with Li Su.

That was good. Her parents’ blessing made their union with the sect leader appear even more perfect. In the afternoon, the sect leader’s father mentioned some details about the Purple Gold Holy Land to Li Su. The Purple Gold Holy Land became a sacred place because it was ten thousand years ago when they protected the path for the reincarnation of an immortal.
