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

Chapter 110: Chapter 108: Child of Luck, Even Heroes Have a Hard Time with Beauty!_3

A chill-inducing thought flashed through his mind.

“Could my encounter with the Old Blind Man also be a part of his fortune?”

“I was just fine in Central State, and it just so happens that upon arriving in the Northern Domain, I ran into the Acquired Dao Body’s emergence…”

“Setting aside the claim of an Acquired Dao Body, isn’t it against heaven’s will for a mere Qi Sea Realm junior to chance upon a Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm guardian?”

“Hiss…”

“Enough, better not to think further, delving too deep might disturb one’s mental state, not to mention the risk of deviating from one’s cultivation path.”

…

Time flew by, and three days had passed.

Throughout this period, the people of the Gu Family had their share of happiness, but others suffered.

After three days of rumination, Zhu Qin and another had fully grasped Young Master Gu’s tactics!

Whenever they or their supporters left the city, someone with a Realm just about equal to theirs from the Gu Family would follow them closely.

They didn’t obstruct them, merely followed silently.

Until they engaged with a Demon Beast, then these followers would immediately lend a hand, shouting, “Fear not, Daoist Fellow of the Heavenly Cold Sect! I am XXX from the Gu Family, here to help you slay the Demon Beast!”

No matter how much they refused, it was useless; the others just insisted on giving their unsolicited aid!

At first, Zhu Qin was worried they might purposely let the Demon Beast escape, but as they genuinely contributed to killing the beast, her concerns were allayed.

However, she soon understood the Gu Family’s intentions…

“Heh, I will just take the inner core, the rest is all yours.”

“Also, I happened to find a piece of Yellow Grade Spiritual Medicine earlier. I’ll give it to you as well, no need to be polite, take it, take it.”

When these words came out, both Yayun and Zhu Qin were dumbfounded. @@novelbin@@

They needed the inner cores as well!

But even more disastrous was the fact that their supporters, having argued in vain, had no choice but to accept the other items.

Even if they complained to the Elders, there was nothing they could do; it was the younger generation of the Gu Family acting, who had not harmed any disciple of the Heavenly Cold Sect.

They even explicitly stated that they would never give those inner cores to the Heavenly Cold Sect, ensuring that the competition for the position of Saintess remained fair and just. They were acting only because they needed the inner cores for themselves!

Oh my goodness!!!

Does that not affect the situation!?

Now unable to even obtain inner cores, how could they continue to compete?

Over these three days, both of them had visibly wasted away.

Upon meeting that day, they recognized that their experiences had been no different from one another.

“Even if we manage some daily harvest of inner cores, neither of us even have a fifth of what Junior Sister Liu has amassed.”

“At this rate, even if we joined forces, we wouldn’t surpass her.”

“Does Junior Sister Yayun have any ideas?”

Zhu Qin, massaging her temples with a sense of helplessness, asked.

“The bell ringer must untie the bell. We must find the Young Master Gu of the Gu Family to resolve this matter.”

Yayun pondered for a moment before speaking.

“Find him?”

“Do you think he will stop supporting Junior Sister Liu just because of you and me?” Zhu Qin said scornfully.

But Yayun, twirling a strand of hair around her finger, continued, “The Gu Family values the potential Saintess, not Liu Qingqing herself, right?”

“If we are willing to pay a certain price, we might well gain the support of Young Master Gu.”

“Why not try? It’s not a loss.”

“Who knows, it might just succeed?”

Zhu Qin was slightly startled. “What do you mean?”

“Heroes often falter before beauty. You and I aren’t much less beautiful than Liu Qingqing, can two of us not compare to one of her?”

“If she can gain the support of the Gu Family, why can’t we?”

“Young Master Gu is still young; presumably, he hasn’t much willpower…”

“Besides, there are drawbacks to the Cultivation Technique that Liu Qingqing practices, but you and I don’t have this concern. Why not give it a shot?”
