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

Chapter 119: Chapter 114: Taking Her Head as a Token of Submission, Can Elixir Actually Create a Pristine Dao Foundation!?_2

“But it doesn’t matter, as long as Senior Brother you can help me become the Saintess, when the time comes for you and me to become a Daoist couple, I guarantee I will share half of the Sect’s resources with Senior Brother!” @@novelbin@@

“The problem is, how can we prevent Liu Qingqing from becoming the Saintess?”

“Today, the Elders are still in the midst of handing over their duties. It’s said that she went out of the city alone. If she were to ‘accidentally’ fall into the mouth of a Demon Beast…”

“…”

Their crystal-clear conversation was also heard by Gu Changge with his Divine Sense.

With this, it was undoubtedly Yayun who was behind the plot to assassinate my wife.

“Speaking of which, you have this evidence.”

“Why not directly present it to the Heavenly Cold Sect Elders? In doing so, you could clear yourself of suspicion, and the real culprit would be removed without having to worry about opposition from the Gu Family. Wouldn’t that be more convenient?”

“Why seek out this Young Master?”

Gu Changge casually placed the pearl on the table without showing anger, instead, he asked calmly about her intention.

“Because, I want to make a deal.”

“To be frank, in pursuit of the Saintess position, I have already promised many benefits.”

“I have even pledged all my Cultivation resources for the next twenty years in advance.”

“No matter the outcome, I cannot escape that commitment.”

“Twenty years… it would delay too much.”

“That’s why I chose to make a transaction with you, a very worthwhile deal.”

Zhu Qin sighed, revealing her helplessness.

She was different from Yayun, who chose to pay the price with her own body; she couldn’t bring herself to be that shameless. What would be the point of becoming the Saintess if she had to give up her own dignity for it?

Therefore, she was able to attract so many Senior Brothers because of the many benefits she promised!

After becoming the Saintess, the benefits would naturally be greater, even if she failed, she would still owe twenty years of Sect resources!

“Twenty years of Cultivation resources?”

“This Young Master fails to see how this is a worthwhile transaction.”

“What’s in it for me?”

Gu Changge, though somewhat surprised, still logically stated.

“When we return to the Sect, I could find an opportunity to lead Yayun out of the Heavenly Cold Sect.”

“This way, you could dispose of her without anyone noticing.”

“I would also report to the Sect, claiming that Junior Sister died in the jaws of a Demon Beast. This would save the Gu Family a fair amount of unnecessary trouble,” Zhu Qin pursed her lips and firmly chose to betray Yayun.

It was all because of that stupid pig, insisting on plotting against Junior Sister Liu, dragging her into trouble.

Otherwise, she could even consider getting on good terms with Liu Qingqing; even if she lost, it wouldn’t matter.

“Not enough,” Gu Changge shook his head, outright rejecting.

The Gu Family didn’t care about these trivial troubles. He could just inform his wife of this information to achieve the same effect.

“Young Master Gu, why not simply state your terms?”

Zhu Qin knew that negotiation wouldn’t be so easy. In the present situation, she was at his mercy and had to bow her head.

“This Young Master doesn’t wish to dirty his hands.”

“After returning to the Sect, bring me her head to the Gu Family as a sign of allegiance.”

Gu Changge stopped tapping his fingers and looked at her directly as he spoke.

“To cause harm to fellow Sect members, if the Elders found out, it would mean death…” Zhu Qin bit her lip, torn.

“If this Young Master is not mistaken,”

“the many benefits you’ve promised, my wife could help you resolve at least half of them once she becomes Saintess, right?”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qin could only nod silently.

Indeed, the benefits of becoming Saintess included helping those people in the Sect get some treatment, like becoming Patrol Disciples, or slightly adjusting their family members’ positions from Miscellaneous Tasks to Outer Disciples…

“As for the Cultivation resources you promised, this Young Master can also help you resolve that.”

“Moreover, if you can be of help to Qingqing in the Heavenly Cold Sect in the future, this Young Master will give you a corresponding reward.”

“One head in exchange for support from the Gu Family. It’s a good deal for you.”

After finishing, Gu Changge remained silent, watching her, waiting for her decision.

This woman was much more scheming than Qingqing.

If possible, taming her and turning her into Qingqing’s ally in the Heavenly Cold Sect could be a good move.

As for Yayun, he only wanted her to pay the price; he had no interest in tormenting her himself.

“I understand.”

“After returning to the Sect, I will find an opportunity to take care of the matter.”

Zhu Qin didn’t make Gu Changge wait too long before making her choice.

The situation was already sealed. If she didn’t proactively hand over leverage, she would indeed remain unscathed, but twenty years of Cultivation resources would cause her to fall behind, severely impacting her potential in this lifetime!

On the other hand, by offering her sign of allegiance, Young Master Gu would have a hold on her, making him rest assured.

If Liu Qingqing truly took control of the Heavenly Cold Sect in the future, and she could be of good help over the years, she might well receive some benefits!

“Then, we wish each other a pleasant cooperation.”

Hearing her reply, Gu Changge smiled contentedly, stood up, and signaled Gu Qianjun with his eyes.

“Miss Zhu Qin, please,” Gu Qianjun stood stunned by the Young Master’s actions.

Zhu Qin respectfully bowed and left, escorted out from the Gu Family’s domicile.

Only then did she look up into the sky, sighing helplessly, “This Young Master Gu is simply unstoppable with just his tactics alone.”

He wanted Yayun gone without getting involved in any trouble.

However, on her return to the Heavenly Cold Sect, she let out a sigh of relief, feeling like a weight had been lifted from her heart.

At least her predicament was resolved…

For the Saintess competition, all she needed to do now was go through the motions.
