Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife-Chapter 996 - 686: Su Hanyan’s Suspicions

With Lu Chen’s current strength, dealing with Li Qianrou and Wu Junwan at the same time was no big deal. Of course, Lu Chen was no longer solely interested in offspring and pleasures as he had been. He was more focused on cultivation.

After cultivating with the two women for several days, they headed together to the Misty Immortal Sect’s flying boat. Before the Cultivators’ Conference began, all the cultivators in the Misty World were waiting in place.

On the way to the Misty Immortal Sect, one could see cultivators meditating everywhere.

Although the spiritual energy in the Tianchen World was not as dense as in the Misty World, it was safer. Cultivators no longer had to fear sudden death from being swept into spatial turbulence while cultivating.

In such a safe environment for cultivation, the speed at which the cultivators practiced increased significantly.

At this time, Su Hanyan was also meditating and cultivating on the flying boat of the Misty Immortal Sect. Due to Han Yuankai’s Bloodthirsty Great Formation, her body had suffered serious injuries and needed time to recover.

Misty Immortal Sect, flying boat.

Su Hanyan’s body was frantically absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy, continuously repairing her internal injuries, when a steward from the Misty Immortal Sect approached her and said, "Sect Master, your two direct disciples have arrived!"

Hearing this, Su Hanyan’s heart skipped a beat, and her beautiful eyes instantly opened with her eyebrows arching slightly.

The current situation of the Misty Immortal Sect was somewhat awkward; she actually did not want her two direct disciples to have too much contact with the Misty Immortal Sect.

After all, they were now women of the Sum Emperor. If they were seen in close contact with the Misty Immortal Sect while speaking on behalf of the sect at the Sum Emperor’s side, the Sum Emperor would eventually grow discontented with them.

Su Hanyan composed herself and said to the steward, "Let them up."

She had previously been considering how to remind them to keep their distance from the Misty Immortal Sect, but now that they had come of their own accord, it was a good opportunity to speak with them about it.

Moments later, Wu Junwan and Li Qianrou appeared in front of Su Hanyan. Seeing them, Su Hanyan immediately took out several spirit stones, tossed them around them, and promptly set up a soundproofing formation.

Within the soundproofing formation, whatever they said could not be heard from outside.

After the formation was set, Su Hanyan opened the conversation with Li Qianrou and Wu Junwan, "Qingrou, Junwan, you should not have come." Find your next read on novelbuddy

Li Qianrou and Wu Junwan were startled for a moment, then Li Qianrou asked, "Why would you say that, Honored Master?"

Su Hanyan said, "You are now women of the Sum Emperor, and Misty Immortal Sect is considered an invading force. If the Sum Emperor were to see you being so close to the Misty Immortal Sect, it might raise some doubts. This is not good for you."

Hearing Su Hanyan’s words, the two women instantly realized she was afraid that Lu Chen might misunderstand them.

Wu Junwan then said, "Honored Master, rest assured, we came to the Misty Immortal Sect under His Majesty’s instruction."

Hearing this, Su Hanyan asked curiously, "Under the Sum Emperor’s instruction? He allowed you to come?"

Li Qianrou replied, "We wanted to visit you, Honored Master, but we also mentioned it to him and got his approval."

With the response from Li Qianrou, Su Hanyan did not dwell on the matter further. As long as they had the Sum Emperor’s approval, that was all that mattered. The last thing she wanted was for them to secretly visit the Misty Immortal Sect and then be discovered by the Sum Emperor later on.

Su Hanyan eyed Wu Junwan and Li Qianrou. Both of them had reached the Heavenly Human Realm and had officially begun their cultivation journey.

Su Hanyan, as their Honored Master, always took her role as the mentor of her two direct disciples very seriously.

At that moment, Wu Junwan asked, "Honored Master, you were inside the Bloodthirsty Great Formation when the Sect Master used it. How do you feel now? Is there any discomfort in your body?"

Su Hanyan replied with a smile, "I’ve only suffered some minor injuries, nothing serious."

As soon as Su Hanyan finished speaking, Wu Junwan moved to her side, took her jade hand, and without hesitation, Su Hanyan felt a moment of surprise, not understanding what Wu Junwan was doing. However, the next moment, a cool spiritual power flowed into her body, rapidly healing her internal injuries and making her feel incredibly relaxed.

This...

Surprised, Su Hanyan asked, "Junwan, who taught you this cultivation technique for healing others?"

While cultivators also had some ability to actively recover from injuries, none were as effective as this. Wu Junwan’s spiritual power entered her body and almost immediately, her wounds had nearly healed.

Clearly, it was a special cultivation technique. Su Hanyan did not recall ever teaching such a technique to Wu Junwan, nor did she possess it.

Wu Junwan replied, "This is a cultivation technique taught by the Sum Emperor. It is known to all his wives and concubines."

Su Hanyan said, "I see."

It made sense why Wu Junwan had such an effective healing art—it was from the Sum Emperor. Considering both the Immortal Boat and the cultivation technique the Sum Emperor had taught Wu Junwan, it was clear his identity was far from simple.

In that moment, Su Hanyan’s curiosity about the Sum Emperor increased once again. She was eager to know which power the Sum Emperor came from and how he learned about Han Yuankai’s matters.

If the Sum Emperor had not taken the initiative to reveal Han Yuankai’s affairs, it is likely that she and the people of her own sect at Misty Immortal Sect would still be unaware that their honored master had been killed by Han Yuankai, the eldest senior brother.

At this time, Su Hanyan let out a slight sigh and then said, "Junwan, Qingrou, thanks to you both, I was able to survive. Without becoming the Sum Emperor’s women, perhaps I would have been gone from this world as well."

In Su Hanyan’s view, the Sum Emperor had not taken action against her probably because her two disciples had said something in Lu Chen’s presence, interceding on her behalf, which is why Lu Chen did not strike against her, a cultivator of the Yin-Yang Realm.

After all, Misty Immortal Sect was the invading party. Her continued presence in Misty Immortal Sect, a strong cultivator of the Yin-Yang Realm, posed a great threat.

Upon hearing Su Hanyan’s words, Li Qianrou suddenly thought of something and immediately said, "Honored Master, even without us, the Sum Emperor would not possibly kill you."

Su Hanyan asked in confusion, "Why is that?"

Li Qianrou said, "Because the Sum Emperor has taken a fancy to you."

This...

Both Wu Junwan and Su Hanyan were stunned. Wu Junwan did not expect Li Qianrou to come out with such a statement. She had initially planned to do more groundwork, to give her honored master some time to accept it.

Speaking directly, their honored master might not be able to accept it.

And Su Hanyan equally had not expected the Sum Emperor to actually covet her beauty. She was not without pursuers in the Cultivation World, but she thought that the Sum Emperor was someone from a great power gaining experience, so his main focus would be on cultivation, with little interest in female charms.

Why would the Sum Emperor be interested in her?

Coming to her senses, Su Hanyan immediately said, "Qingrou, don’t speak nonsense. I am your honored master, how could I become the Sum Emperor’s woman!"

Su Hanyan also realized that Li Qianrou and Wu Junwan had come today probably on behalf of the Sum Emperor. Otherwise, the Sum Emperor likely would not have sent the two of them to Misty Immortal Sect.

Seeing Su Hanyan indeed exhibiting an averse expression, Li Qianrou said, "Honored Master, the Sum Emperor wouldn’t care about these things. He is a lascivious man. Any woman he fancies eventually becomes unable to escape his palm."

Hearing Li Qianrou’s description, Su Hanyan felt a shock in her heart. She then glanced at Li Qianrou and Wu Junwan and said, "In that case, you two were also forced by him..."

Su Hanyan didn’t continue.

Seeing that Li Qianrou had bluntly spoken about the matter, Wu Junwan no longer kept it hidden. She spoke up, "Honored Master, initially we were indeed forced by the Sum Emperor, but after becoming his women, he didn’t restrict us in any way. In the end, we fell in love with him."

This...

Su Hanyan found it difficult to understand. If they had been forced by the Sum Emperor to become his women, how could they have fallen in love with him?

Li Qianrou nearby said, "Disciple knows that Honored Master must find it hard to understand how we could fall in love with him, this lascivious man, especially since it began with coercion."

At this, Li Qianrou continued, "The Sum Emperor’s greatest flaw is his love for beauty. Apart from that, he nearly has no other faults in our eyes. He treats all his wives well, provides them with cultivation techniques to practice, actively helps them enhance their strengths, and takes great care of all his women. Furthermore, he is handsome and powerful—who wouldn’t fall in love with him in the end?"

"Even women born without feelings, after becoming the Sum Emperor’s women, gradually regain their emotions."

Hearing Li Qianrou’s words, Su Hanyan quickly responded. Indeed, the Sum Emperor was clearly the scion of a great force in the Cultivation World, and such a figure was already very attractive to women from a lower world.

If the Sum Emperor was even slightly better to his women, it was natural that Li Qianrou and the others would helplessly fall in love with him.

Women admire strength, and the Sum Emperor was not only formidable but also good to his women, and handsome to boot. What woman would not love such a man?

However...

Su Hanyan said, "Although I do not know how the Sum Emperor treats you when he is with you, I must remind you that the Sum Emperor’s identity must not be simple. Behind him certainly stands a great sect or super force of the Cultivation World."

"Such an exalted person never lacks for women; why would he take interest in women from a lower world? If he is good to you, it is very possible that it’s an act, or maybe he has some ulterior motive."

Su Hanyan, a cultivator from the High-Level Cultivation Realm, had broad knowledge. She had seen many cultivators deceive others’ feelings, some cultivating special paths, then deceiving feelings, willing their Daoist couples to die for them, thereby helping them achieve their path.

The Sum Emperor, such an esteemed person, being actively good to his own women, was obviously problematic.

Ordinary disciples of a great sect, even the most common, were haughty, considering themselves superior. Not to mention someone like the Sum Emperor, who could bring out such a luxurious Immortal Boat.

Su Hanyan now seriously suspected whether the Sum Emperor considered her two disciples as Furnace Cauldrons or as sacrifices for achieving his path.
