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

Chapter 164: Chapter 144: A Root Bone of Four Hundred, Sudden Enlightenment of the Secret Technique, Is It Necessary to Distinguish?_3

“I like… I like my husband no matter what.”

Liu Qingqing pretended to think for a moment before saying this with a sweet smile.

“Cough cough…”

“Or should I also look at the sky for a while?”

The Sixth Elder of the Heavenly Cold Sect cleared his throat, feeling his own goosebumps rising.

Nowadays, youngsters really… really can say anything.

“Elder, how come you’re here?” Liu Qingqing’s expression stiffened slightly as she bowed slightly, changing the subject.

“Could I not come?”

“We have been trying to contact you for so long, and you hadn’t returned nor responded.”

“I thought that this boy had eloped with you and you were not planning to return to the sect.”

“So here I am, in person, to fetch you.”

The Sixth Elder helplessly stroked his beard and shook his head.

“…”

“Take care, husband. Wait for me.”

Liu Qingqing didn’t say anything further, looked at her husband, and then followed the Sixth Elder away.

“This guy really came at an inconvenient time, ah… at such an old age still bothering young people talking about love.”

Gu Changge waved goodbye, muttering casually.

The Sixth Elder clearly stumbled a bit, as if he wanted to turn around but ultimately pretended not to hear and continued leading Liu Qingqing away.

But he was also somewhat surprised.

This kid is way too outrageous!

How long has it been since I last saw him, and now he’s in the late stages of the Reach Profound Realm?

Did he find some heaven-defying Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the Demon Beast Forest?

Just two months ago, when he first came to Duanbei City and went to the Heavenly Cold Sect’s station, he seemed to be in the Qi Sea Realm, right?

What kind of breakthrough is this!

“Really strange… getting more and more unfathomable.”

The Sixth Elder shook his head helplessly.

He even felt that this boy seemed to have surpassed Liu Qingqing in talent.

So, this fellow who couldn’t cultivate before has become an Acquired Spirit Body now?

Is it the methods of the Gu Family, or some heavenly opportunity?

But obviously, even if he asked, Gu Changge would not tell…

To compel him even less likely, since the Gu Family isn’t easy to deal with.

Watching his wife leave, Gu Changge turned around to prepare to leave, only then noticing that everyone still seemed to be watching the sky and even ants…

“Enough.”

With a casual command,

Everyone as if illuminating once more, went back to their duties like nothing happened.

Gu Changge shook his head and smiled, heading back to the side hall.

As soon as he returned, Wang Yue came up to greet him.

“Did Sister Saintess leave?”

Seeing that he came back alone, she smiled mischievously.

“Yes.”

“Have you been working hard at cultivation these past few days?”

Gu Changge nodded and casually asked.

“Isn’t it just to give you and Sister Saintess some space?”

“Once separated, it will be a long time before we can meet.”

“Not like others who can stay by their husband’s side every day, humph…”

Wang Yue blinked her eyes playfully.

“Speaking of which, after being away from the Imperial City for so long, don’t you want to go back and have a look?”

As she gently pushed him onto a stone bench and made tea for him, Gu Changge couldn’t help but ask.

“Ah?”

“Is my husband trying to send me back to my mother’s house?” Upon hearing this, Wang Yue pretended to be surprised and covered her mouth with a pitiful expression.

“Be serious…” Gu Changge raised his hand and knocked on her head.

Wang Yue pouted her lips and rubbed her head before saying, “What’s there to miss about the Imperial City?”

“If I don’t go back on my own, even if I die, Father Emperor would not think of having me return to the Imperial City.”

“My greatest use is just to help Father Emperor transmit messages from the side of the Gu Family.”

Although she spoke lightly, Gu Changge noticed some of her disappointment.

“That’s true, better not go back then.”

“From now on, just stay at the Gu Family and properly transmit messages to the Imperial City, do what a spy should do,” Gu Changge sipped her tea and smiled.

“Then my role as a spy is somewhat complicated.”

“Not only do I have to transmit messages to the Imperial City, but I also have to warm the bed for Lord Husband…”

“Ah… now that Sister Saintess has gone back, just thinking about it is tiring.”

Wang Yue’s mood improved quite a bit with his words and she grinned mischievously, sitting across from him with her hands cradling her cheeks, staring at him.

…

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

The Heavenly Gate Realm Elder sent by the Gu Family also arrived slowly at Gu Hall.

Gu Wanquan did not show up, it was Gu Kuang who welcomed him to the council hall of Gu Hall.

“Second Elder, I know you care about your beloved grandson.”

“But this is a bit of an overreaction.”

“Even sending a Heavenly Gate Realm to rendezvous, isn’t that too much…”

Gu Family’s Fifth Elder couldn’t help but start complaining as soon as he saw Gu Kuang.

To this, Gu Kuang did not speak but simply grinned.

An explanation was unnecessary; his grandson would prove himself!

Just as he stepped into the council hall, the Heavenly Gate Realm Elder, Gu Liang, frowned and bowed to an old blind man inside, “May I ask who this senior is?”

A Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm Great Power…

Not one of their Gu Family members, yet sitting in their base?

Moreover…

He hadn’t heard of any blind individuals among the Heavenly Cold Sect or the Northern Domain Royal Family’s Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm.

“Not at all, this old man is just a follower by the young master’s side,” the old blind man stood up and bowed slightly in return, saying cheerfully.

“Young master?”

Gu Liang was slightly taken aback, looking puzzled at Gu Kuang beside him.

“It’s Changge, our grandson.”

Gu Kuang’s smile grew even wider, and he tilted his head up so much he nearly looked at him with his nostrils.

“I know your grandson is Changge, I was asking about the young master the senior mentioned…”

“Wait.”

“You mean to say?”

“The young master this senior mentioned, is Changge?”

Gu Liang frowned as he spoke, then suddenly his expression froze, disbelievingly asking.

“Exactly, it’s Young Master Changge,” the old blind man chuckled and nodded.

Gu Kuang shook his head and moved to the side, plopping down mightily, mumbling to himself, “Ah… you say it’s strange, our grandson just came to Duanbei City, look, he already has a senior brother following him who’s even stronger than me.”

“Right, what did you say just now, Fifth? Were you asking if it was necessary to regard our grandson with such high esteem?”

Gu Liang’s expression stiffened; he really couldn’t understand and wouldn’t have believed, if not for the Ninth Grade senior personally admitting it, and only thought that Gu Kuang was bluffing.

“Not… ”

“Just wait, what I mean is, since we already have a Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm senior following.”

“Why send me here?”

Gu Liang raised his hand and rubbed his temples, feeling his brain wasn’t quite keeping up.

“Cough.”

“Let’s not talk about this anymore.”

Seeing the old blind man looking somewhat embarrassed, Gu Kuang immediately waved his hand to indicate it was not important.

He couldn’t possibly say that Gu Wanquan didn’t fully trust the old blind man, could he?

That would be terribly disheartening, best not to drive the old blind man away, that’d be a real loss!

“You two talk, I’ll go inform the grandson.” Seeming to want to show off that his grandson had a Ninth Grade follower, Gu Kuang directly left the two, humming a tune as he patted his buttocks and exited the hall.

After Gu Liang was silent for a moment, he looked at the old blind man and asked, “Senior…what are you thinking? Is there something you need from the Gu Family?”
