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

Chapter 129: Chapter 121: Strip off Cultivation and Abandon Outside the City!

“It is indeed a coincidence.”

Gu Changge smiled slightly as he watched them from a private room on the second floor.

Due to the array isolating the private room, it was like one-way glass; they were utterly unaware of his presence.

Liu Qingqing was also somewhat surprised that these three had also come here.

But thinking about it, it made sense—there were no other taverns in the city, and if one wanted to eat, this was the only place to go.

Even so, the tavern’s business wasn’t great, as demon beast meat was too expensive and most people wouldn’t specifically come here to dine.

They would either consume fasting pills or hunt demon beasts outside the city, roasting them to eat.

Why spend the money?

Only a Young Master Gu from the Gu Family, with vast wealth, could afford such extravagance.

Li Huaji had come to the Northern Domain thinking that the Northern Domain Imperial Family would host him, so he had not brought many spirit stones.

The three of them had simply ordered a few dishes and did not qualify for a private room.

Fortunately, the tavern was not crowded, and apart from them, there was only one other table of cultivators on the first floor.

“Senior Brother, why were you so polite to him just now?”

“Isn’t he just a mere ant from the barren lands?”

The woman was still nagging her senior brother about why he had reprimanded her earlier.

Li Huaji could only helplessly explain, “Junior Sister, don’t underestimate the major powers of the Four Domains just because we are from Central State.”

“The Gu Family has dominated the Northern Domain for thousands of years; their home hosts Great Powers above ninth grade.”

“If not necessary, better not make enemies with them.”

“Although the Four Domains are barren, it doesn’t mean that the top forces here are truly weak.”

“Does the highest realm in your family exceed the ninth grade?”

The woman frowned and shook her head after hearing this.

Yet, she still unconvincedly said, “Even so, Senior Brother, as a direct disciple of our sect, why should you fear?”

“Isn’t our Master also a Great Power above ninth grade, why act so timidly?”

Hearing this, Li Huaji’s brow furrowed, and he slammed his chopsticks on the table.

“Foolish to the extreme!”

“What good is there in a verbal conflict?”

“To offend one of the top three powers in the Northern Domain for this?”

“If you continue to be this foolish, I’ll send you back to Central State!”

“Lest you cause trouble for me and bring trouble to our Master!”

He was truly angered—how could his Master have accepted such a foolish disciple!

Surely one must look at both talent and intellect!

“Learn from Junior Brother Zhao, learn to keep your mouth shut, or one day even our Master won’t be able to save you!”

For the first time, he felt that his junior brother might have some redeeming qualities, at least he had been silent today and hadn’t caused any trouble.

But clearly, he had spoken too soon.

Hearing his words, that Reach Profound Realm Perfection Junior Brother Zhao chuckled, “Actually, I think Junior Sister has a point…”

“It’s not about me, but that kid is really lucky, the girl by his side is quite beautiful.”

“I was so captivated earlier, I didn’t even manage to speak…”

“If we meet again, I definitely want to have a good conversation!”

“Senior Brother, why scold Junior Sister because of an outsider?”

“I saw that the fellow didn’t dare to say anything…”

Before he could finish, Li Huaji’s face had gone green.

He felt on the verge of collapse; what exactly was going through the minds of his junior brother and sister!

He had made himself so clear, why couldn’t they understand?

Was it just because they were from the sanctified lands of Central State that they had become so arrogant?

Even if the Northern Domain was barren, it hadn’t fallen to such disparate levels; besides, what strength did these two possess?

“Forget it, I’ll send you both back to Central State in a few days.”

“Keeping you here will only lead to my death in the Northern Domain!”

Li Huaji sighed in despair, the stereotypes his disciples held about the Northern Domain were too deep; they always thought they could act recklessly here.

At least, thankfully, they hadn’t said this directly to that Young Master of the Gu Family.

Otherwise, the situation would now be hard to salvage.

But at this moment in the private room on the second floor, Gu Changge’s eyes had cooled.

His expression had also become somewhat unpleasant.

“Are these the kinds of disciples the Holy Land of Central State produces?”

“So impressive, no need to take a Northern Domain ant like me seriously at all…”

Gu Changge had heard everything they said, and he was almost at a loss for words.

That sixth-grade Refining Void Realm, at least he was smart.

But those two fools, how on earth did they join the Holy Land of Central State?

Didn’t Old Blind Man say how good that Holy Land was?

Now it seems, he’s even more disappointed—what kind of derelict Holy Land…

Could pigs and dogs join too?

“Husband…”

Liu Qingqing, worried he might act impulsively, softly called out to him.

“It’s fine, let’s leave after we eat.”

Gu Changge shook his head; as Li Huaji had said, if one were sane, why engage in verbal conflicts and offend a force.

Seeing him staying rational, Liu Qingqing then felt relieved.

But as the two were leaving, the three of them also noticed them.

Adhering to the principle of not arguing with fools, Gu Changge was ready to just leave.

However, he didn’t expect that just as he was walking out, that Reach Profound Realm Perfection young man muttered, “Look, even if he heard us, he doesn’t dare to do anything.”

“…”

Gu Changge stopped in his tracks.

Liu Qingqing sighed and loosened her hold on her husband’s arm.

Even Li Huaji was dumbfounded at this point.

He truly couldn’t believe his foolish disciple could say such things!

Initially, Gu Changge appearing in the private room on the second floor had already surprised him, and he had intended to apologize to him; seeing that Gu Changge didn’t look at him and was leaving, he thought better of it.

“Now it’s all over…”

“And there it is…”

As expected, Gu Changge had already changed direction and silently walked to their table.

“Young sir…”

Li Huaji stood up and cupped his fists, but before he could speak,

he saw Gu Changge suddenly flip the table without any warning!

He even took out his top-grade Dark Grade Flying Sword from his Space Ring and, without hesitation, slashed towards the neck of the young man!

“How dare you!!!” The two juniors of Reach Profound Realm were shocked and shouted in disbelief when their table was flipped.

Then, they saw the cold light of the blade approaching, and in urgent moment, they couldn’t defend themselves.

Fortunately, Li Huaji reacted in time and, when the Flying Sword was less than a palm away from his neck, he firmly clasped it between his fingers.

“Apologize!”

Li Huaji mildly shouted.

“Did you hear that!”

“Senior Brother is asking you to apologize!”

The two people immediately stood up as if they had found their backbone, angrily pointing at Gu Changge’s nose.

“I’m telling you two to apologize!”

Li Huaji was nearly driven mad, feeling an urge to kill these idiots!

Did they not see the situation unfolding even now!?

“No!”

“Why should I apologize to such scum!”

The girl said, her face red with anger.

And Junior Brother Zhao, who was somewhat shaken, simply turned his neck stiffly and kept silent.

“Very well…”

“One moment calling one ‘ants,’ the next ‘scum.'”

“Today, I, the Young Master, will see if the Heavenly Prides of Central State have more than one life.”

Even if Gu Changge was usually good-tempered, he couldn’t endure it today anymore.

One compared him to an ant, and another was openly lusting after his wife.

Wasn’t this literally crapping on his head!?

Not to mention that this was the Northern Domain, in his Gu Family’s territory.

“Young sir, please don’t be rash!”

“Let’s talk this out calmly; I’ll apologize on their behalf.”

“If you kill them and cause trouble, it’s not worth it.”

Li Huaji, somewhat helpless, stood in front of him.

“Senior Brother, as someone in the early stages of Reach Profound Realm, even if you don’t stop him, what can he do?”

“Young man, if you dare, let’s have a match, life or death!”

As Zhao Wan spoke, his gaze even shifted towards Liu Qingqing following Gu Changge.@@novelbin@@

“I challenge your damn…”

Gu Changge looked at him as if he were looking at an idiot.

What status did he have to challenge him?

The commotion just now should have attracted attention.

As Young Master Gu of the Gu Family, if there was a conflict in the city, wouldn’t people report it?

Indeed, figures were soon rushing towards the outside of the restaurant.

While no Deacon Elders appeared, the Gu Family Disciples had all arrived promptly.

Especially since the restaurant was not far from the city gate, those ten or so disciples who guarded the gate daily rushed in upon hearing the news.

“Young Master!”

The first few, who were from the Fifth-grade Ruins Realm, immediately surrounded the people and respectfully saluted.

“Break the limbs and cripple the cultivation of those two Reach Profound Realm cultivators and release them into the Demon Beast Forest.”

Gu Changge finished speaking and then, without looking back, planned to leave with his wife.

As the Young Master Gu, did he need to act personally?

The table flipping was just out of anger earlier.

“Young sir, please wait!”

“This won’t benefit you!”

Li Huaji, protecting his Junior Sister, urgently shouted.

“If you don’t want to be dragged down by these two idiots, just leave.”

“Otherwise, you can accompany them.”

Gu Changge didn’t stop but casually left those words behind, already leaving the restaurant.

However, he was stopped by a figure.

“Little Friend Gu, give the Royal Family some face.”

That person, a Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm, was one of the Guard Generals arranged by the Northern Domain Royal Family in Duanbei City.

“Give the Royal Family face?”

“Rather, give this Young Master some face.”

“You can take the Sixth Grade away, I don’t care; for the remaining two, even if you take them to the Royal Family’s stations, the words of this Young Master still have weight.”

After finishing, Gu Changge did not even look at him and went straight back to the Gu Family’s residence with his wife.

Facing the group of Gu Family Disciples, even though none were of Sixth or Seventh Grade of Void Refining like him, Li Huaji could only sigh in resignation.

“Senior Brother, what are you doing?”

As the two watched in disbelief, he also prepared to leave.

The Gu Family people did not stop him; the Young Master only wanted those two from Reach Profound Realm released.

As for the Sixth Grade of Void Refining, it didn’t matter to them if they couldn’t fight him; the Sixth and Seventh Grade Deacons of the Gu Family had already arrived as well, just not showing themselves.

“One brings about one’s own ruin and cannot live.”

Li Huaji did not turn back to look at them and departed.

Rather than blaming Gu Changge for their deaths, he felt relieved in his heart.

He had long been fed up with these two idiots!

Merely by offering Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, they were taken as Registered Disciples in the Outer Sect by their Master, but couldn’t even make it to an Inner Sect Disciple, yet they thought themselves as Heavenly Prides just because they had joined the Sect.

He did his best, but there was no helping those bent on courting death.

Only the report to Master would be difficult…
