BXBX NOVEL Chapter 250
The Elemental Magnetic Barrier had undergone a significant disruption during the attacks by two Nascent Soul cultivators, presenting a unique opportunity for thorough research.
Sitting alongside Li Su was the sect leader, whose eyes resembled dark, shimmering pearls. They held countless stars from the night sky and the reflection of Li Su’s face.
“Master, is there something on my face?” Li Su suddenly turned his head, blinked, and inquired.
The sect leader had been gazing at Li Su while she was lost in thought, and his words caused her to blush slightly. “No, I was just reminiscing about some childhood memories, so I got lost in thought for a moment,” she replied.
Li Su responded with a casual “Oh.”
Under the cover of night, it seemed that the sect leader wanted to talk. She began to share her childhood stories with Li Su.
The Eastern Family was an exceptionally powerful clan with an ancestor of unimaginable strength. However, aside from their ancestor, the family had never produced any remarkable talents until the birth of the sect leader. Her birth marked her as a prodigy, and before the arrival of this extraordinary woman, she had been the family’s pride.
During that time, she was genuinely content with the family. Everyone catered to her and showered her with affection. However, she never anticipated that when that woman attacked her, some of the elders in the family, who had usually been very protective of her, would remain indifferent.
“Li Su, do you think these ordinary people will have another chance at life?”
At this point, the sect leader asked, “Another chance?”
Li Su pondered for a moment and replied, “Master, I’m not certain about this matter.” He truly didn’t have the answer.
“Sometimes, I wonder if having ordinary spiritual abilities, or even being ordinary, would be just fine. I wouldn’t be without a home like I am now,” the sect leader’s voice carried a hint of loneliness. Even though she had decided to distance herself from the family and was persistent about it, deep down, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of sadness and loneliness. After all, that was still her family.
This was the first time the sect leader had shown such emotions in front of Li Su.
“Master, wherever your disciple is, that is your home!” Li Su reassured her. However, Li Su gently held her hand and whispered, his voice touching the sect leader’s heart. Where Li Su was, that was her home!
The sect leader’s bright, star-like eyes turned to look at Li Su. Li Su held her hand and gazed at the night sky.
“Master, look at the brilliant stars in the sky, bearing witness to our words. One day, I will take you back to your family and ensure justice is served for you,” Li Su’s voice was calm but determined. It wasn’t a grand vow, but it surpassed all promises. This was Li Su’s commitment.
The sect leader’s heart was once again moved. “If there’s no justice, then I shall be your justice!” Li Su’s voice rang out again. It was a calm voice, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.
The myriad stars lost their luster in her eyes, leaving only Li Su.
Under the cover of night, a certain emotion began to grow uncontrollably. Then, the sect leader nestled into Li Su’s embrace.
That night, the bright moon, the twinkling stars, and the sky shimmered for Li Su and the sect leader. The next morning, when Li Su woke up, the sect leader was nowhere to be found. In the room, there remained a faint trace of her fragrance.
Looking at the sheets, Li Su had a dreamlike feeling. Last night, the sect leader, moved by emotions, had shared an intimate moment with him… Perhaps due to being too intoxicated, Li Su had forgotten who had initiated it. It seemed like the sect leader, but the spark had come from him. After centuries of yearning, the desire was finally fulfilled. Well, not entirely, as there were no children yet, but that could come later. However, a single night felt so brief, and when Li Su woke up, the modest sect leader had disappeared, and he didn’t know where she had gone.
Li Su meticulously folded the bedsheets and stowed them away. He left the room but couldn’t locate the sect leader anywhere in the cave. Li Su proceeded to the Grand Hall of the Immortal Sect, where he discovered the sect leader in the company of her aunt.
Upon spotting Li Su, a trace of bashfulness briefly appeared in the sect leader’s eyes. Nevertheless, she swiftly regained her usual distant demeanor. Li Su wondered whether she had addressed the issue, conceiving before reaching the Nascent Soul stage could harm her spiritual roots.
“Li Su, your timing is impeccable. These are items brought by my family for you. You can exchange them for valuable cultivation resources at the Returning Origin Sect,” the sect leader said.
“Currently, the family’s herb garden is controlled by that woman, and we can’t access it,” the sect leader’s aunt added, producing a substantial amount of items.
Li Su examined the valuable items but lacked many spiritual herbs or medicines. He questioned if the woman mentioned was the sect leader’s mother or another aunt.
