Chapter 1595 Peng Shidao's Visit

Since Wei Xiaomo was officially taken into the Su family, the ancient powerhouse that was dormant in her body has been quiet and has not caused any more trouble.

It would only occasionally awaken for a brief moment, leaving behind a faint, ancient pressure, before quietly falling silent again.

Most of the time, the body that occupies this young girl's body is still that innocent and pure-hearted little girl.

The shyness and nervousness of being a new wife made her somewhat reserved in her every move, and she often lowered her eyes and blushed when talking to Su Fan.

But as the days went by, under the warm embrace of the Su family, that initial awkwardness gradually dissipated and he adapted to the Su family's atmosphere.

She got along quite well with Su Fan's senior sisters. After all, she was still young, and Su Fan's three Daoist partners, mindful of Su Fan's feelings, naturally wouldn't make things difficult for this young girl.

Although he wasn't particularly warm towards her, he still took good care of her.

However, there was always a faint sense of distance between them, and no one pointed it out.

After all, within this seemingly innocent and naive little girl slumbers an ancient powerhouse who has been reincarnated and rebuilt his cultivation. The hidden intimidation makes it impossible for them to truly open up to each other.

But Wei Xiaomo was completely oblivious to this, or rather, she was completely unaware of that subtle distance.

For her, just being able to stay by Su Fan's side was enough.

Su Fan treated her gently, and they had endless common topics to discuss. The two often got together to discuss ancient classics.

They often chatted for an entire night, and both of them remained energetic.

These peaceful and tranquil days lasted for several years in the blink of an eye.

The Su family lived in peace and tranquility, free from any disasters or difficulties.

On this day, Luo Guyin, who had been in seclusion for many years, finally stepped out of his secluded place.

After years of dedicated cultivation, coupled with the precious pills from the Upper Realm bestowed by Su Fan, Luo Guyin's cultivation finally achieved a qualitative leap, steadily breaking through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

What delighted her even more was that the Upper Realm Treasure Pill had amazing effects, greatly strengthening her cultivation foundation and making up for the cultivation she had missed over the years.

This even made her foundation more solid than before, which greatly excited Luo Guyin.

For Su Fan, Luo Guyin's emergence from seclusion was undoubtedly a relief.

Over the years, he had spent a great deal of time and energy managing the affairs of the Su family, and without hesitation, he handed over the reins of the Su family back to Luo Guyin.

This time, however, he did not leave the Su family as usual, but instead found a secluded and quiet courtyard to live in.

The Su family today is no longer what it used to be; the clan is now thriving.

The family's power grew stronger day by day, its territory expanded continuously, the mansion was filled with spiritual energy, and the disciples were all full of vigor and ambition.

Luo Guyin managed all the family affairs in an orderly manner and governed the Su family perfectly.

With the rise of the Su family, the status of Su Fan's several Daoist partners also rose accordingly, becoming figures revered by everyone in the "Demon Sun Divine Palace".

Senior Sister, Gu Qinghuan, Li Miaoxue, and others, as Su Fan's Daoist partners and possessing considerable cultivation themselves, gradually increased their social engagements.

They often need to travel to various places to attend banquets and events of various cultivation families and forces to maintain the Su family's connections and reputation.

Even the many families under the "Demon Sun Divine Palace" have sensed the potential of the Su family and are all vying to curry favor with them, all wanting to maintain a good relationship with the Su family.

The women in each family also frequently took the initiative to contact the senior sisters, either to chat about friendship or to discuss cooperation, and their interactions were constant.

In this respect, cultivation families are no different from those in the mortal world.

Most of the men in the family devoted themselves to cultivation and expanding their influence.

Women, on the other hand, had to manage the household affairs and maintain their social connections; each had their own responsibilities and were busy with their own tasks.

The senior sisters often went out for social engagements, sometimes for ten days or half a month at a time, leaving only Su Fan and Wei Xiaomo in the courtyard.

Wei Xiaomo is simple-minded and dislikes those kinds of occasions. She always politely declines invitations from others and stays at home with Su Fan.

Actually, when the two of them were alone, Su Fan didn't really have any feelings for this little girl.

Most of the time, they would gather together to study ancient classics or chat about trivial matters, just like always, in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

After all, in his eyes, Wei Xiaomo was still a child, naive and immature, unlike her senior sisters who were so charming and sophisticated.

But whenever the ancient demon sleeping inside Wei Xiaomo's body awakens, they go on a wild and unrestrained rampage.

Su Fan had already resigned himself to his fate. Since he couldn't break free, he simply accepted it and let her make a fuss.

Although that ancient demon usually appeared cold and aloof, with a chilling look in his eyes that kept people at a distance.

But when she went crazy, Su Fan really got hooked and couldn't get enough of it, though it took a toll on Wei Xiaomo's health.

As the Su family's power grew, they recruited a large number of highly skilled retainers, and the management of resource points in various places was no longer as tense and busy as before.

Li Chongxiu and Zhenjie, who had been traveling for many years, were finally able to return home.

As soon as Sister Zhen returned, she went straight back to her personal secret realm and continued to be the revered Eternal Mother, pretending to be a god in front of mortals every day.

Li Chongxiu still missed Su Fan, so she moved to Su Fan's courtyard with the dozen or so maids who used to follow her, and took meticulous care of Su Fan's daily life.

The family had arranged many maids for Su Fan, but Su Fan had long been accustomed to the care of Li Chongxiu and others, so he sent them away one by one.

Now, only Su Fan and the dozen or so maids brought by Li Chongxiu live in the large courtyard. It is quiet but not deserted.

It was another early morning, and a faint tinge of dawn appeared on the horizon.

Immediately afterwards, a blazing sun broke through the clouds and leaped out from the horizon, its golden rays, like scattered gold dust, sprinkling down and gently enveloping the entire Su family compound.

Su Fan and Wei Xiaomo remained seated cross-legged in the hall of the courtyard, with several yellowed ancient books spread out on the table. The two spent the entire night exchanging and discussing these texts.

The little girl looked visibly tired, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and yawn, her breath carrying a hint of languid weariness.

She stretched out her fair and soft little hand, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and then stretched out a big yawn.

"I'm so sleepy..." Her voice was soft, with a slightly nasal tone.

After saying that, she slowly sat up straight, carefully moved to Su Fan's side, stretched out her arms, gently hugged Su Fan's arm, and gently rubbed her head against him.

"I'm so sleepy, it's all your fault, you big bad guy... you insisted on chatting with me all night long..."

Looking at her charmingly aggrieved expression, Su Fan's eyes instantly softened with a gentle smile.

He reached out and put his arm around her shoulder tightly, pulling her closer to him.

"It's my fault, then you should go back to sleep..."

“No…” Wei Xiaomo quickly shook her head, tightening her grip on Su Fan’s arm.

"I don't want to go back to sleep, I want to sleep here with you, you have to lull me to sleep..."

Su Fan smiled helplessly, but his heart was filled with warmth.

Wei Xiaomo was still young and naive. Since becoming his concubine, she had become increasingly clingy and liked to pester him and act coquettishly whenever she had nothing to do.

"it is good……"

Su Fan reached out and gently pulled the little girl into his arms, letting her lean against his chest. He patted her back softly and rhythmically, like soothing a child, and whispered to lull her to sleep.

Just then, Li Chongxiu walked in and saw Su Fan holding Wei Xiaomo. She covered her mouth and secretly smiled.

She walked gently to Su Fan's side, leaned down slightly, and whispered in his ear in an extremely soft voice that only the two of them could hear.

"My lord, what would you like for breakfast..."

If Su Fan were alone in the past, Li Chongxiu would never have asked any questions, but now that Wei Xiaomo was here, she asked one more question.

Holding Wei Xiaomo, who was gradually falling asleep in his arms, Su Fan turned to Li Chongxiu and gave him instructions.

"Just do what you think is best for me. She's asleep. We'll talk about it when she wakes up..."

Li Chongxiu nodded quickly, turned around, and tiptoed out.

Breakfast was ready in no time. Su Fan carefully picked up Wei Xiaomo from his arms and put her in the bedroom next door, hoping she could get a good night's sleep.

But the little girl clung tightly to his neck, nuzzling her head against his chest, refusing to let go.

Looking at her clingy appearance, Su Fan smiled wryly, but there was no impatience in his eyes. Instead, his eyes were full of tenderness and indulgence.

Although this little girl is quite clingy and sometimes throws a tantrum, he really likes her that way.

Because of this, he was often ridiculed by his senior sister and Gu Qinghuan.

Left with no other choice, Su Fan had to give up the idea of ​​carrying her to the bedroom and asked Li Chongxiu to bring breakfast to the living room instead.

Then he held the sleeping Wei Xiaomo in his arms and sat in the hall to eat slowly.

Su Fan had just finished breakfast when Li Chongxiu walked in and leaned down slightly to whisper in Su Fan's ear.

"Master, a messenger has come to report that Peng Shidao, the sect leader of the 'Demon Sun Divine Palace,' has arrived..."

Su Fan frowned upon hearing this.

"Please let him in...no...I'll go there myself..."

After he finished speaking, he picked up Wei Xiaomo from his arms and gently placed her on the soft couch in the bedroom next door. Then he turned around and hurriedly walked towards the main hall of the house.

Since he joined the "Demon Sun Divine Palace", the sect has never disturbed his life too much.

Aside from important ceremonies at the mountain gate that require his attendance, he is not even given any extra greetings on ordinary days.

Moreover, every month the sect would send someone to deliver all the benefits and cultivation resources he was entitled to from the sect to the Su family, never neglecting them.

Moreover, dozens of exceptionally talented younger disciples who have emerged from the Su family in recent years have also successfully joined the "Demon Sun Divine Palace".

Out of respect for him, the sect took special care of these younger members of the Su family, providing them with the best cultivation resources and treatment far exceeding that of other disciples.

Su Fan pondered to himself that it was no coincidence that Peng Shidao, as the sect leader of the "Demon Sun Divine Palace," had come to visit him personally.

There must be something important that requires his help.

When Su Fan rushed to the main hall, Luo Guyin was sitting with Peng Shidao in the hall.

Su Fan quickly quickened his pace, stepped forward, and bowed slightly to Peng Shidao.

"Greetings, Sect Master..."

Upon seeing this, Peng Shidao quickly stood up and returned the greeting to Su Fan with a bow, his face bearing a humble smile, showing no airs of a sect leader whatsoever.

Although he was the sect leader of the "Demon Sun Divine Palace," he didn't dare to act arrogantly in front of Su Fan, this "great demon."

“Junior brother, no need for such formalities, no need for such formalities…” Peng Shidao quickly said, his tone extremely polite.

"Junior brother, I apologize for my intrusion in visiting and disturbing your peace. Please forgive me..."

Su Fan waved his hand lightly, laughed heartily, and spoke in a cheerful tone.

"Senior brother, you're too kind. If there's anything you need, just send someone to deliver a message, and I'll personally come to the mountain gate to see you..."

After he finished speaking, he sat down cross-legged in the seat opposite Peng Shidao. Luo Guyin quickly gestured to the maid beside him to brew hot tea and burn incense for the two of them.

After the two sat down, Su Fan picked up the teapot on the table and personally poured Peng Shidao a cup of hot tea.

"Sect Master, if there is anything the sect needs, please don't hesitate to give the order. As long as it's within my capabilities, I will not refuse..."

Upon hearing Su Fan's words, Peng Shidao couldn't help but secretly grumble to himself.

Who would dare to order you around, you great demon? If you refuse, even I, the sect leader, can't do anything about it.

"Junior brother, to be honest, I really have no other choice this time..." Peng Shidao's tone was tinged with helplessness.

Upon hearing Peng Shidao's words, a look of understanding flashed in Su Fan's eyes, and he thought to himself that it was exactly as Peng Shidao had expected.

Peng Shidao's personal visit must mean he has a favor to ask of him, and this matter is quite troublesome.

He remained calm and composed, maintaining his gentle expression.

"Sect Master, there's no need to be so polite. Please speak frankly about what you need. As long as I can help, I will not refuse..."

Peng Shidao hesitated for a moment, his expression growing increasingly solemn, as if he were carefully choosing his words, before slowly opening his mouth and explaining the purpose of his trip in detail.

"Junior brother, in six months, a joint trial for disciples of all sects of the Demonic Sect will be held. The location of this trial is not an ordinary place, but a rare and dangerous place, full of dangers and perils."

Moreover, this trial concerns the allocation of resources and the reputation of each sect. There will inevitably be disputes and covert struggles among the various sects of the Demonic Sect, and the situation will be difficult to control..."

He paused, then continued, "It just so happens that at this time, our 'Demon Sun Divine Palace' holds its once-in-a-century Dao Assembly, and I and the other high-ranking members of the sect simply cannot spare any manpower..."

Su Fan listened quietly, his brows furrowed as he fell into deep thought.

He roughly understood Peng Shidao's meaning and guessed the danger of this trial.

The demonic cultivators have always been ruthless and warlike. There are already many conflicts between the various sects. Now, taking advantage of the opportunity of the trial, they will surely fight and scheme against each other.

After a moment, Su Fan raised his head and spoke slowly, his tone calm.

"How long will this trial take..."

When Peng Shidao saw that Su Fan did not directly refuse, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

"Junior brother, rest assured, this trial will only take a few months. When the time comes, you only need to lead the team to the trial site. As for the specific rules of the trial, the preparation of materials, and the communication and coordination with other sects, I will send capable fellow disciples to assist you..."

Upon hearing this, Su Fan understood completely.

Peng Shidao's thoughts were actually very simple.

The competition among the disciples of the various sects of the Demonic Path will undoubtedly be extremely fierce.

It seems that in the "Zhengxuan Heaven" plane, there must be some ruthless and violent individuals from other demonic sects that the people of the "Demon Sun Divine Palace" might not be able to handle.

They wanted him to go and support the sect, to keep the fierce and ruthless people from the other demonic sects of "Zhengyuan Heaven" in check.
