Chapter 252: Chapter 172: Bullying the Weak? That’s Called Upholding Justice! The Ancestor Han Who Cries ‘Stop Thief’!_2

Han Li actually wanted to take her under his wing as soon as possible, but the omnipresent Mystical Beast was keeping a tight watch on him. Ancestor Han didn’t dare make the slightest reckless move, for he might incur heavenly wrath and instantly meet his demise.
On the other hand, Yao Xi’s memories of this life were too fleeting. If her past life memories were to be revived, there was a great likelihood that they would take precedence, and by then, she would become a stranger to him—a prospect Han Li didn’t want to face.
“Sigh, nurturing a young girl is indeed a long and arduous task.”
Thinking of the fact that it would take another three or four years for Yao Xi to come of age, Han Li silently sighed.
“Xi Xi, have you been having headaches lately?”
“Nope, and those weird memories aren’t showing up either,” Yao Xi said, her delicate, tender face breaking into a smile.
Jiang Baiye quietly nestled in her husband’s embrace, watching as Han Li and Yao Xi chatted, a smile also appearing on her face.
She knew all too well what her husband was scheming, as did Yun Miaoyi, Lu Tianxiang, and others, yet no one said a word—they found it only natural.
Even Yao Xi herself probably understood, but she was willing and enjoyed the feeling.
After some thought, Jiang Baiye spoke up, “Husband, does Xi Xi really not need to cultivate?”
Although she was aware of Yao Xi’s situation, Jiang Baiye was still a bit worried. Yao Xi was nearly fifteen years old and had not yet started to cultivate. Wouldn’t it be too late for her to start cultivating in the future?
“Sister, Xi Xi doesn’t want to cultivate,” Yao Xi said, her expression falling and her face filled with distress.
She had seen the people of the Han Mansion cultivating, and even just watching them made her feel that it was extremely difficult. Yao Xi felt that her current life was quite good—why bother with arduous cultivation?
Han Li shook his head slightly and said, “Not for now.”
Indeed, it was not necessary. Even if Yao Xi started cultivating at the age of twenty, it wouldn’t take her many years to reach the Myriad Phenomena Realm or the True Martial Realm.
With a safe environment and an abundant supply of cultivation resources, the advantage of a powerfully reincarnated individual was simply too great.
“Yay~”
Yao Xi stuck her tongue out at Jiang Baiye and coyly clung to Han Li’s hand, acting coquettishly, “Brother is the best.”
Han Li smiled and said nothing.
In the following days, Han Li enjoyed a blissful immortal life, with lovely wives and beautiful concubines in both households needing his company, and they could play all kinds of games with him, which made Ancestor Han feel refreshed and energized.
If ever he felt downcast, he could visit Li Feiyu, the fairy, and two other servant concubines to lift his spirits. With them, Han Li could enjoy various pleasures; as long as he didn’t restrict his physical strength, the two women were very durable.
Just as Han Li, as Li Feiyu, was preparing to take in another concubine, a little trouble arose—unexpected, yet reasonable.
One day, Jiang Baiye sought out Han Li and, after a slight hesitation, still spoke up, “Husband, could you please assist the Canghai Sect?”
Han Li nodded and asked directly, “What happened?”
It had been over a year since the turmoil in the Daqian Empire, and the Canghai Sect had remained unscathed. Han Li had prepared an alias that he hadn’t used yet, but now an opportunity seemed to have presented itself.
Han Li wouldn’t refuse such a request from his beloved wife Jiang Baiye. It was a trivial matter for him to handle.
Besides, having gained a lot of strength recently, he was also eager to try on an alias and make an appearance. There was no need to seek trouble with an Emperor Wu of the True Martial Realm, competing in the Myriad Phenomena Realm would suffice.
It was still quite amusing to take advantage of one’s superior strength.
With his formidable power, Han Li had been laying low and not using it, which made Ancestor Han rather itch for some action—he was somewhat inclined to show off.
Without the right opportunity, Han Li was unwilling to court trouble needlessly. Now, with the Canghai Sect in distress, it was as though a sleeper was being delivered a pillow.
The Canghai Sect was a Myriad Phenomena Realm force. They might have lost the Body-Cultivating Furnace, but their Myriad Phenomena Realm Sect Leader was still standing firm.
If some power was oppressing the Canghai Sect and it hadn’t fallen yet, it was unlikely to be a force from the True Martial Realm. It must be a rival of the same level.
Han Li’s thoughts flickered countless times in a moment, and he surmised that it was probably the same force targeting the Canghai Sect before—Jifeng Hall.
The strongest member of Jifeng Hall was only a Great Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, without any True Martial Realm expert or significant backing, so dealing with Jifeng Hall wouldn’t pose any hidden dangers.
“Jifeng Hall has joined forces with other powers, blockading the entrance to the Canghai Sect with a menacing front, and the Sect has almost reached its breaking point,” Jiang Baiye said with a touch of sadness in her tone.
Even though she had married into the Han Mansion and become Han Li’s wife, with no way of returning to the Canghai Sect, Jiang Baiye constantly kept an eye on her own Sect.
Inside the Canghai Sect were her master and junior and senior sect brothers and sisters, as well as some friends. Jiang Baiye didn’t want to see the Sect destroyed.
Especially after learning that her husband Han Li was an Emperor Wu from the True Martial Realm, she was able to put her mind at ease; if her husband could adopt an alias to help Tianxuan Mountain and preside over the Daqian Empire, he could also take up an alias to aid the Canghai Sect.
With her husband’s strength, helping the Canghai Sect wouldn’t be dangerous, and if it ever became dangerous, Jiang Baiye wouldn’t want Han Li to get involved.
Every half month, Jiang Baiye would collect news from the Canghai Sect, with the most recent update being not long ago. After hearing the news, she rushed to find her husband Han Li.
She was also relieved that fortunately, her husband wasn’t in the Li Manor; otherwise, she could only have waited for his return to seek help.
“The Master of Jifeng Hall’s strength is about the same as the Canghai Sect Leader’s, right? At most, he’s only slightly better. Did he perhaps break through to the middle phase of the Myriad Phenomena Realm?” Han Li wondered.
He had been paying attention to this intelligence previously and had some understanding of the strength of both sects.
The power difference between the two sects was slim; even if Jifeng Hall had the support of some Hollow Void Stage Forces, they shouldn’t be able to reach the entrance of the Canghai Sect, especially since the entrance was protected by the Mountain Protection Array.
Normally, one wouldn’t act so blatantly without absolute certainty, as this would lead to an open and relentless fight until one of the conflicting forces was destroyed.
