Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!-Chapter 346

Chapter 346

“Tao Yao, have you recalled anything else?” Li Su inquired.

Tao Yao furrowed her brows slightly and shook her head, “Husband, there’s nothing else.”

“Then don’t dwell on it for now.” Li Su gently patted her head and pulled her into his arms.

“Mmm!”

Although Tao Yao felt a bit confused and uneasy, in Li Su’s arms, she felt exceptionally warm. She drifted off to sleep in his embrace.

Observing Tao Yao, who had seemed particularly fragile lately, Li Su contemplated for a moment and decided to take action.

“If Tao Yao doesn’t awaken this time, even with her age locked, there’s a possibility she may never awaken. Last time, her memories took several years to resurface. This time is likely to be similar. So, Li Su still has time. “Go check the Xuantian Academy.”

Li Su formulated a plan.

Now that Dieyun and Long Kui had fused, and with Lord Feng Tian present, Li Su could afford to leave the northern territory for some time.

“Husband, have you been awake all this time?”

Several hours later, Tao Yao woke up and found Li Su there, eyes open, lost in thought. Tao Yao couldn’t help but feel moved.

Li Su gently stroked her head, “Tao Yao, get ready. I’ll take you out in a few days.” 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

“Mmm,” Tao Yao replied softly. She felt Li Su’s trip outside was probably for her sake, which made her even more touched.

“Husband, you can go with peace of mind. If anything happens, I’ll take action.”

The next day, within the Li residence, Peak Master Dieyun’s voice echoed. Although in seclusion, she wasn’t currently in a state of breakthrough. Li Su was entrusted to oversee the Li residence and instructed her to pay attention to Murong Xue without raising suspicion.

He didn’t need to inform others about his departure. This trip wouldn’t take much time, as Li Su could sometimes be occupied for several years at a stretch. After arranging everything, Li Su sought out Lord Feng Tian.

“Do you want to go to the Xuantian Academy? Of course, you can!” Li Su’s words pleasantly surprised Lord Feng Tian.

“Husband, the Xuantian Academy is just ahead!”

A month later, on the flying boat, the voice of Saintess Zixue echoed. After half a month of flying, the Xuantian Academy appeared in Li Su’s sight. Tao Yao curiously looked at the towering peaks reaching into the clouds beside Li Su.

Even though it was still over ten thousand miles away, even ordinary people could see the mountain range where the Xuantian Academy was located. The place where the academy stood was exceptionally high, with the peaks reaching tens of thousands of feet, equivalent to mountains several dozen to a hundred kilometers high.

The Xuantian Realm was flat, not spherical like Earth, and the air quality was exceptionally good, allowing for clear visibility. On this journey, Li Su brought Tao Yao, Saintess Zixue, and the green-clad maiden, Lu Qiu. As for Lord Feng Tian, Li Su entrusted her to oversee Wolong Mountain. With Peak Master Dieyun and her presence, there was no need to worry about safety on Wolong Mountain.

This was Li Su’s first long journey, and during this trip, he passed through several realms. For example, the realm where the Monkey Wine was located. Leaving through the northeastern passage from the Northern Territory, that area was a realm dominated by demonic beasts with no immortal sects. It was considered a paradise for Nascent Soul cultivators. He planned to explore opportunities in the Azure Sea within that realm.

Not every realm was prosperous. Some were exceptionally desolate, with hardly a few ordinary people. The flying boat swiftly approached the Xuantian Academy. When it came within a thousand miles of the academy, the flying boat descended and flew close to the ground towards the academy. “Husband, this is a restricted airspace array. After all flying boats approach the academy, they are not allowed to fly higher,” Lu Qiu explained.

Li Su’s gaze scanned the surroundings of the Xuantian Academy. There were no activated large arrays around as if they completely allowed incoming flying boats. “Husband, are you curious why there are no large arrays?” Lu Qiu asked. Li Su replied with a thoughtful “Mmm.” “That’s because the entrance and exit channels of the entire Xuantian Realm are under the control of the academy. Given the academy’s strength, the Sect-Protecting Grand Array is just the last line of defense,” Lu Qiu explained. Li Su understood. Indeed, the sacred grounds were much stronger than a first-grade immortal sect with deep foundations. They usually didn’t even need to activate the Sect-Protecting Grand Array.

Certainly, gaining entry into the Xuantian Academy was no easy feat. Li Su smoothly traversed on the flying boat, facing no hindrances. There were no inspections from start to finish, indicating the academy’s formidable influence.

“Li Su, welcome,” greeted a man in his forties, the main figure in the Xuantian Academy.

The current head of the academy, Lord Chang Feng, showed a faint smile upon Li Su’s arrival. “Lord Chang Feng, it’s no trouble,” Li Su responded. Despite Chang Feng’s powerful aura, a hint of weakness was perceptible, likely in the early stages of decline.

“This is the Xuantian Pavilion, with an extensive collection of books. Feel free to read any except those on the top floor. The Saintess can retrieve top-floor books that aren’t confidential for you,” explained Chang Feng, leading Li Su into a pavilion.

“Go attend to your matters. I’ll be here for some time,” Li Su said.

“Alright, feel free to call for me if you need anything,” said Chang Feng before leaving. Li Su’s purpose here was to explore the vast collection of books, surpassing even that of the Xuantian Academy.

While the academy sought to engage Li Su, their approach was comfortable, not overly persistent. Inside the Xuantian Pavilion, assistants Zixue and Lu Qiu tirelessly fetched the books Li Su needed.

“Tao Yao, this one as well…” Tao Yao, standing by Li Su, gracefully assisted him by pouring tea and water. Sometimes, she would lean against him and fall asleep, occasionally lost in thought.
