036 The Boss Who Broke His Heart

The cultivator named Bai turned to the master and asked for guidance on how to return to his original sect. The master carefully examined the invisible killing formation that trapped them. It seemed to have a hidden function, making it impossible to see the Devil Cultivator inside. Stepping into the formation would be perilous.

"Say 'yes'," the master instructed Bai.

Confused but trusting the master's judgment, Bai complied.

The master then inquired about a slate that required a drop of blood to activate. Bai confirmed that dropping blood on the slate would work, but it needed to be done within close proximity to their current location.

Upon hearing this, the sect leader, Shi Ban, called off the plan and returned to the cave. It seemed that after assessing the situation firsthand, Shi Ban decided not to take any hasty actions. The unknown strength of the Devil Cultivator within the killing formation and the lack of a solution made the sect leader cautious. It was likely that they would unite with the other two immortal sects to deal with the situation.

Without further delay, Li Su and Bai returned to the flying boat where Su Yun was waiting. The master joined them, and they took off without making any preparations or arrangements. It seemed that Shi Ban didn't want to waste any time here.

The underground cave where Bai had taken refuge was incredibly difficult to find. Bai had stumbled upon it while being chased by powerful Demonic Beasts. It was a stroke of luck that he ended up here, and the Devil Cultivator inside had accumulated so many things during their desperate confinement.

The Devil Cultivator probably saw Bai as an opportunity, given their shared surname. If Bai had been replaced by Li Su, even in his weaker state, the Devil Cultivator would have deceived him and used his power to gain strength to challenge Li Su.

Once on the flying boat, Li Su couldn't help but admire the master's graceful figure from behind. Li Su felt a deep attraction and thought about how wonderful it would be to bear a child for the master.

Meanwhile, Su Yun observed Li Su and the master, sensing that Li Su might be more suitable than herself to be the master's disciple. Surprisingly, Su Yun didn't feel any discomfort with this arrangement. She felt relieved, understanding that as an immortal cultivator, it was important not to break promises and to follow through with commitments.

Seizing the opportunity, Shi Ban suddenly proposed a betrothal between Li Su and Su Yun. Su Yun blushed, caught off guard by the suggestion. The master explained that Su Yun had grown up under their care and already held strong feelings for Li Su. Rather than let these feelings interfere with her cultivation, it would be better for them to become companions and practice together.

Li Su glanced at Su Yun, whose face had turned red. Although the proposal was unexpected, Li Su immediately grasped the master's intentions. Immortal cultivators were discouraged from having companions, as it could hinder their progress. However, if two people developed feelings and became companions, they could support and advance together.

Li Su's multiple companions had already affected his cultivation, so the master wished to sever those ties. By forming a companion with Su Yun, who possessed both exceptional beauty and talent, Li Su could concentrate solely on his cultivation. The master also promised to have the Li family replace the Wu Kingdom royal family, ensuring the prosperity and future of Li Su's descendants.

It was evident that the master had carefully planned this arrangement to help Li Su become a dedicated and focused immortal cultivator, while also ensuring his happiness and the prosperity of his lineage.
