Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse

Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Only Afraid of Not Giving Enough, Stumbling Upon Mandarin Ducks Bathing?

The three surrounded Gu Changge, their eyes on him as if they were looking at a treasure, occasionally reaching out to pat his shoulder but quickly retracting their hands as if they feared breaking him.

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable under their gaze, Gu Changge hurriedly changed the subject, “Speaking of which, what matter did the Elder intend to discuss with Changge by keeping him here?”

His objective had already been achieved anyway, letting these Elders understand his importance was enough.

There was naturally no need to hide his capabilities, appropriately showing his value was the way to gain more resource allocation and strong support!

Just like today’s incident, if anyone dared to trouble him now, these Elders would be the first to object, and if someone tried to make a move against him, he had no doubt the Elders would rush up to fight to death!

Even the Ancestor might get involved…

Duanbei City, after all, had a complicated mix of powers and was not under the jurisdiction of the Gu Family.

Moreover, with Demon Beast territory outside Duanbei City, he had indeed intended to gain experience, but he wasn’t planning on risking his life.

Now, these problems were no longer issues.

“Um…” @@novelbin@@

“We were originally planning to discuss your upcoming journey to the No Master Land for training.”

“But… perhaps let’s not.”

Only then did the three remember that they had kept him here to discuss something, but the fourth Elder, after a moment of contemplation, seemed to be in a difficult position.

As the Young Master of the Gu Family, he should set an example.

Otherwise, it would be hard to command respect.

But now… Gu Changge had already demonstrated unparalleled capabilities.

To really send him out for training, what if something adverse happened? Wouldn’t that be a disaster?

“What are your own plans?”

Although Gu Kuang had not interacted much with his great-grandson before, and had only grown close over the past month,

He knew the boy had his own opinions and probably had his own plans.

So he straightforwardly asked for his intentions.

“Training must still be done,”

“Otherwise, Changge would not have needed to come to Duanbei City.”

“Only… given that the junior’s strength is limited at present, I wonder if I could bring some clansmen along if I am to train.”

Gu Changge had his own plans in mind, and since they asked, he spoke frankly.

“You can rest assured about your safety, within Duanbei City, no one dares to touch you.”

“As soon as you leave Duanbei City, regardless of the situation, one of us three old fellows will definitely set aside our affairs to protect you.”

“As for companionship…”

“From today, within this Gu Hall in Duanbei City, you can command anyone.”

“If anyone disobeys, this old man will back you up.”

The Great Elder nodded slightly, authoritatively making the decision.

Gu Kuang curled his lips, thinking to himself that he was still here, was his support really needed?

But he understood that this was the Great Elder trying to get closer, so naturally, he did not interject.

“Understood, does the Elder have any other orders?”

Gu Changge, having achieved his goal, respectfully prepared to take his leave.

With the Elder’s words, that was enough. His purpose in coming to Duanbei City was to hunt Demon Beasts and obtain a large number of attribute points!

However, with his own strength, that would certainly be too slow; he naturally needed to make full use of his status as Young Master. An identity alone without shown value might not be esteemed, so he simply displayed some of his capabilities to let the Elders see his worth!

As for his wife Liu Qingqing’s competition for the title of Saintess, that could be handled easily!

“You’ve also had a tough journey, go rest earlier.”

“Additionally, if there is anything you need for your cultivation, as long as it’s in the storeroom of Gu Hall, you are free to take it.”

“In a while, this old man will pass down these orders, and no one will hinder you.”

The Great Elder nodded again, immediately offering some benefits.

Although Gu Hall stood in Duanbei City and sent back ninety percent of the cultivation resources collected from the No Master Land to the family each year, there was still quite a stockpile accumulated before sending it back, so he need not worry about his cultivation needs.

“Thank you, Great Elder.”

“Since that’s the case, this junior will take his leave first.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changge bowed respectfully in thanks and then turned and strode away. As he reached the door, the isolation barrier was also dispelled.

Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were available for casual use, a privilege that wasn’t just some jest; even the Family Head received only a fixed monthly salary each year.

Yet now he had become the sole exception!

“Indeed, one shouldn’t hide their strength too much.”

Thinking this, he stepped out of the grand hall, where outside, Gu Qianjun seemed to have been waiting for him after seeing off Liu Qingqing and the others.

“Young Master,” he greeted him as soon as he saw him emerge.

Under his lead, the two made their way to the lodging arranged by the Gu Family.

“Brother Qianjun, I don’t seem to have seen you around the house.”

“Why do you treat me this way?”

He casually asked on the way.

“Replying to the Young Master, I am not of the Direct Lineage of the Gu Family, but I was lucky, born with good Talent, and after breaking through to the Reach Profound Realm, I was assigned to Duanbei City.”

“The Second Elder has shown me great kindness…”

“You are both the Young Master and the Second Elder’s true grandson; Gu Qianjun’s life is yours, Young Master. I am ready to die for you at any moment, without a trace of falsehood.”

Gu Qianjun did not explain much about what exactly had happened, but his tone was very sincere.

“Then, in Duanbei City, I’ll have to depend on you for many things.” Since he didn’t elaborate, Gu Changge simply decided not to inquire further, only giving him a smile and cupped hands in greeting.

“Young Master shouldn’t say such things…”

Gu Qianjun hastily stepped to the side, not daring to accept the gesture, and continued to lead the way.

Along the way, they encountered several of the Gu Family’s Deacons, all of whom looked at him with curiosity.

…

After Gu Changge left, the three inside the grand hall took a while to come back to their senses.

“Isn’t this training a bit early? Why not wait until he breaks through to the Ruins Realm?”

The Fourth Elder suggested.

“He has his own opinions, and since he’s come, he must have already made up his mind,” Gu Kuang slightly shook his head.

Even he was somewhat shaken by his great-grandson this time, his mind filled with more questions than even the two Great Elders.

It was truly strange; even after inspecting his great-grandson’s body when he returned to the Gu Family…

It was unfortunate that these individuals were unaware of the characteristics of the Acquired Dao Body. In their eyes, Gu Changge’s Talent was merely of an Acquired Spirit Body.

After all, even in Central State, one could hardly find a few with Acquired Dao Bodies, so it’s not surprising that these few who hadn’t been to the Heavenly Gate Realm in Central State were unaware.

“What else can we offer him…”

“Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are available for his use, we take turns guarding him, and personnel can be adjusted freely.”

“It seems there’s nothing else we can give.”

“Maybe…”

“I’ll vacate the side palace where I currently reside, and I can just live with the Fourth in one palace.”

The Great Elder, stroking his beard, was still contemplating what benefits he could arrange for this child. A talent like this was unprecedented in the history of the Gu Family; shortchanging him seemed somehow unjust.

“It seems good,” Gu Kuang said, nodding before the Fourth Elder could reply.

“Eh?” The Fourth Elder opened his mouth but offered no objection—after all, the side palace was large enough, with plenty of rooms, even solitary seclusion rooms, much better than those normal small courtyards.

Such arrangements were usually reserved for elders of the Heavenly Gate Realm.

But now to offer it to Gu Changge, they felt it was not excessive; rather, they always felt they weren’t offering him enough…

Moments later, the Great Elder, having calmed his old heart shocked by Gu Changge, was the first to pass on the decision of the recent deliberations.

…

After escorting the Young Master to his courtyard, Gu Qianjun indicated he lived in the courtyard next door, arranged by the old master, to easily serve the Young Master when needed.

And Gu Changge watched him leave before pushing open the courtyard gate.

The courtyards here were much like those in the Inner Court of the Gu Family, each having a simple Isolation Array, not causing concerns for privacy.

Though the array was not strong, any probing would still damage it and alert the occupants, serving primarily as a warning.

Closing the courtyard gate, he didn’t see the figures of his wives.

So, he headed straight for the main house, pushing open the door.

“Husband…husband, you’ve returned so soon?”

As soon as he entered, he encountered a happy scene of blinding white.

The two wives… they were enjoying a paired bath.
