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

Chapter 117: Chapter 113 Meeting Two Women, Everything is Possible?

After a while…

The battle resolved, Gu Changge carried his wife to their room.

Just as he was about to retrieve the elixirs he had just exchanged for, he noticed the Communication Jade Token he had left in the room was flickering slightly.

He picked it up without thinking much of it and read the content that Gu Qianjun had sent:

“Two Heavenly Cold Sect Saintess candidates have come to see Young Master Gu. Will you meet them?”

“Tsk, they’re quite impatient, coming to see me so soon.”

Gu Changge smirked; he had thought it would take a few more days.

It seemed that the two of them could no longer withstand the pressure.

Wang Yue was also unreserved, bringing her little head closer to see the content of the Communication Jade Token.

“Lord Husband, what are you planning to do next?”

She couldn’t help asking, noticing the malicious smile on his face.

“Why doesn’t my wife meet them on my behalf?”

Gu Changge teased.

“Me?”

“Why should I see them? I’m not going.”

“Lord Husband, please go by yourself. I’m a bit tired and would like to rest.”

“My chin is all sore…”

Wang Yue shook her head repeatedly. She didn’t want to get too involved, even though she wanted to see how he would deal with those two Saintess candidates. But right now, she had more important matters!

Until now, she hadn’t felt that her Root Bone had improved.

Perhaps it needed some time to be digested?

She decided to stay in this side hall quietly, carefully feeling the changes in her body.

If her Root Bone was indeed enhanced, that would be enough to prove her conjectures were accurate without a doubt!

The Acquired Spirit Body then had an opportunity.

“Fine, my wife should rest well. I will meet with them.”

Gu Changge didn’t waste any more words, dressed himself, and left directly.

As for the elixirs, there was also no need to rush.

After all, they were already exchanged and only needed to be handed over to Wang Yue.

But before giving the elixirs to her, one final test was needed… or rather, a declaration of intent was more appropriate.

When he stepped out of the side hall, he found Gu Qianjun seemingly waiting outside all this time.

“Young Master.” Upon seeing him, Gu Qianjun immediately stepped forward and bowed with a hand clasp.

“Let’s go and see what sort of scene they intend to create.”

Before long, the two of them had arrived at the meeting hall.

Upon seeing Gu Changge, the two candidates instinctively stood up and approached him.

“Young Master Gu, we have long heard of your name.”

The two bowed slightly, also paying attention to his expression. Seeing him with a slight smile on his face, as if he didn’t hold much animosity towards them, they felt a little more at ease.

“Long heard of me?”

“Perhaps the two of you have only heard the curses against me, right?”

Gu Changge just smiled slightly. Two months earlier, he was nothing but a cripple who couldn’t cultivate. What was there to “long hear” about?

However, he did hear from Qingqing that these two had learned about Qingqing’s arranged marriage with him, and they likely spread that message intentionally within the Heavenly Cold Sect to affect Liu Qingqing’s competition for the Sect Saintess.

“What have the two of you sought me out for today? Anything I can enlighten you on?”

As he spoke, Gu Changge nonchalantly seated himself in the host’s position.

As for Gu Qianjun, after following Young Master Gu here, he stood outside the door like a guardian, silently not uttering a word.

“It’s not very convenient to talk here, is it?”

Zhu Qin stepped forward, gracefully ready to pour tea for him.

“It’s convenient. There’s nothing inconvenient about it.”

“Just treat the people outside as if they’re cabbage, try calling them. You think anyone will pay attention?”

Gu Changge also didn’t mince his words. He reached out for the tea cup, and whether unintentionally or not, her fingertips grazed the back of his hand.

Taking a light sip of the tea, he raised his voice slightly and spoke towards the outside.

Indeed, as he expected, the curious looks that had been there before turned away from the room the moment they heard Young Master Gu’s words, acting as if no one was inside.

Gu Qianjun, after a slight startle, immediately reminded himself in his mind that he was now a cabbage!

He would neither hear nor see, nor would he speak!

The scene made Yayun unconsciously open her mouth slightly in surprise. It looked like Young Master Gu’s status in the family was even higher than she had imagined.

Zhu Qin’s eyes also flashed with surprise. This Young Master Gu was not of high cultivation realm and didn’t seem to have made a breakthrough to the Reach Profound Realm.

How could he have such authority in the family, with all the Gu Family Disciples completely submissive to him?

“The two of you should just speak directly. What exactly are your plans for seeking out Young Master Gu?”

“Beating around the bush is pointless. I also don’t have the patience to listen,” said Gu Changge as he set down his tea cup and softly said.

He purposefully did not set up an Isolation Array because he feared these two might make some inappropriate move.

After all, they were people capable of attacking his wife with intent to kill, their actions would not be surprising.

“Young Master Gu is straightforward, so I won’t beat about the bush either.”

“The Gu Family needs a Heavenly Cold Sect Saintess. Why not consider the two of us?”

Zhu Qin didn’t even take a seat, just stood in front of him, trying to lower herself as much as possible.

“First,” said Gu Changge, “I find the term ‘straightforward person’ unsuitable.”

“Second, what benefits can you bring to Young Master Gu, and why should I support you?”

“Wouldn’t it be better for my wife to become the Sect Saintess?”

Gu Changge disdainfully curled his lips.

“I can do anything for Young Master Gu, including things Liu Qingqing can’t do,” Yayun interjected, subtly bending over to reveal an enticing sight.

Feeling his gaze on her, she smiled slightly and continued, “You won’t need to do much, Young Master Gu, just lift a hand and no longer oppose us.”

“Tsk, what kind of talk is that? When have I ever opposed you?”

“On the contrary, you…”

“You aimed to put my wife in danger,” stated Gu Changge, his tone suddenly turning colder and his gaze at the two becoming less serene, now filled with a thick threat.

“The Elder is already investigating the matter, I believe a fair resolution will be given.”

“It has nothing to do with me.”

Zhu Qin hurriedly opened her mouth to speak.

“That’s right, both of us are innocent in this matter; it’s just that madman, unable to get what he wants, has turned love into hatred,” Yayun hastily added, indicating it had nothing to do with her.

Gu Changge slowly stood up, his eyes lowered as he gazed down at the two.

“Since that’s the case, both of you might as well swear an oath with your Tao Heart before this Young Master that you have nothing to do with the scheme against my wife.” @@novelbin@@

“How do the two of you feel about this method of proving your innocence?”

Gu Changge’s tone betrayed no emotion, but his gaze was closely observing the changes in their expressions.

“Sorry, I cannot do what Young Master Gu has asked.”

“To swear an oath upon one’s Tao Heart, even with a clear conscience, would ultimately be detrimental to one’s cultivation.”

Zhu Qin replied without changing her expression, bowing respectfully.

“Young Master Gu, why dwell on this matter? Junior Sister Liu Qingqing is now safe and under the protection of the Elders; such accidents will not happen again.”

“I only wish to know if Young Master Gu would agree to magnanimously let this matter slide…”

Yayun seemed unconcerned and did not think Liu Qingqing would be treated with much importance. This guy got married twice in a month, not to mention he had been blatantly ogling at her cleavage just before.

“Then there’s nothing more to discuss.”

“See the guests out.”

Gu Changge had no interest in hearing their idle talk; he simply turned his back and walked past them, not looking back as he left.

At his side, Gu Qianjun, who had been silent as a decoration all this while, finally spoke up: “Ladies, please leave.”

Yayun wanted to follow the departing figure, but Gu Qianjun straightforwardly stretched out his hand to stop her.

He repeated again, “Please leave.”

“This…” Yayun felt helpless. This wasn’t going according to her plan. In front of so many people from the Gu Family, she couldn’t be too blatant and failed to get close to Young Master Gu.

In contrast, Zhu Qin was already walking away.

“Let’s go, Junior Sister Yayun…”

When the two left the Gu Family’s premises, Zhu Qin’s lips curled into a smile.

But before Yayun noticed, she had already resumed an expression of disappointment.

“I’m going to check on the situation at the city gate…”

“Would you like to join me, Sister?”

Zhu Qin said somewhat helplessly.

“What can I do? Those from the Gu Family are constantly watching us; as soon as any of our people leave Duanbei City, they will be followed.”

“Forget it, Sister, go ahead by yourself. I need to return to our quarters and think of another solution with the Elder.”

Yayun’s brows remained furrowed; hearing about going to the city gate was not inviting to her, so she simply left directly.

Zhu Qin, not wanting to reveal her real intent, also made her way to the city gate.

Meanwhile, Gu Changge, having left the meeting hall, waited for Gu Qianjun to see the two women off before catching up.

“One of them will return shortly.”

“Just lead her to the side hall.”

Gu Changge casually instructed.

“Will return?” Young Master’s words caught him slightly off guard, somewhat puzzled.

But he simply nodded and complied; after all, his role was to follow the Young Master’s orders.

Therefore, he didn’t continue to follow Young Master and went straight to wait at the entrance of the residence.

Ambling back, Gu Changge encountered several Gu Family Disciples and Deacons, replying with a light smile and a nod in acknowledgment.

“Zhu Qin is quite interesting.”

“The other one, tsk, besides being busty, she’s nothing special…”

Earlier, when he had asked them to take the oath upon their Tao Heart, Zhu Qin had slightly opened her mouth and told him using lip reading that she would come back and wished for a private audience.

It seemed…

there might be some unexpected gains for him.

That’s why he had no interest in wasting more time with them and issued the eviction order directly.

He was curious to see what kind of thing Zhu Qin would come up with or… what she was planning to do.

With these thoughts, he returned to the side hall.

Walking up to the room, he faintly heard his wife muttering inside: Could it be the dosage wasn’t enough? Or does it need time to take effect? Why hasn’t it worked…

“Insufficient dosage?”

“Wife, what dosage are you talking about? Are you planning to concoct an elixir?”

“This side hall does indeed have a simple Alchemy Room.”

Gu Changge pushed the door open and asked as he entered.

However, Wang Yue reacted like a startled rabbit, jumping up suddenly.

“Why have you returned?”

“You walk without making a sound, like a ghost!”

Wang Yue looked somewhat flustered, which made Gu Changge frown. Was she up to something shady?

She herself felt annoyed at her carelessness: after arriving at the side hall, she let down her guard completely and didn’t even notice when her husband returned.

“So… what exactly is the insufficient dosage?”

Gu Changge took a couple of steps forward, his gaze slightly lowered to her faintly blushing face, and he asked with a curled lip.

He seemed to have guessed something; no wonder she had led him to the hot spring hall today and even tied up her hair herself.

Tsk tsk…

He hadn’t expected his wife to have such a hobby.

If it weren’t for worrying that Zhu Qin might come later and interrupt them, he might have been willing to fulfill his wife’s regret of insufficient dosage.

Meanwhile, outside the residence,

Gu Qianjun did, indeed, see Zhu Qin returning.

“Follow me.”

Though he didn’t know how Young Master had guessed or what agreement they might have reached earlier, he simply obeyed the command and led her away.

With a light laugh, Zhu Qin bowed respectfully and silently followed behind.
