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

Chapter 166: Chapter 146: Not in Vain, Back to Gu Family!

“`

“Young Master…”

Gu Qianjun saw the Young Master come out and approached with a somewhat conflicted expression, cupping one hand in the other before his chest and bowing deeply in salute.

“What’s the matter, do you have any plans?”

“If you want to come back to the family with me, I can speak to the Family Head and take you back.”

Gu Changge saw that he seemed somewhat troubled and asked with a light chuckle.

“It’s not that.”

“Qianjun currently recognizes that his strength is still shallow.”

“If I were to return to the family with the Young Master, I fear I wouldn’t be of much help to you.”

“So… I want to stay in Duanbei City, focusing solely on improving my strength.”

“I’ve heard that after reaching the seventh grade, the Young Master might possibly travel to the Holy Land in Central State. If possible, Qianjun hopes to breakthrough to the Infinite Realm by then, to follow by the Young Master’s side.”

“Even if I cannot become a disciple of the Holy Land, just being able to attend to the Young Master would be enough for me.”

Gu Qianjun did not straighten up, speaking with utmost seriousness.

The Family Head had also spoken to me about the Young Master’s situation.

As long as the Young Master sets off for Central State, he will undoubtedly become a recognized Saint Heir of the Holy Land!

Although the Young Master is currently at the fourth-grade Reach Profound Realm, I have already attained Perfection in the fifth-grade Ruins Realm.

But who will breakthrough to the Infinite Realm first is really hard to say!

I have seen for myself how fast the Young Master has been making breakthroughs.

From the Qi Sea Realm when we first met to the late stage of Reach Profound Realm, it took just a short two months!

Right now, I may be more than a Great Realm higher than the Young Master, but Gu Qianjun truly feels he probably won’t be the first to breakthrough to the seventh-grade Unlimited Realm before the Young Master!

However… I still want to try.

If I can, when the time comes to follow the Young Master to Central State, I could at least serve the Young Master.

As for the Holy Land… I have not thought about whether to join or care for such things.

“That’s also good.”

“If you can breakthrough to the seventh-grade Unlimited Realm before I set off for Central State.”

“I will naturally secure a Holy Land spot for you.”

“I don’t think that will be difficult.”

Gu Changge nodded slightly, as Gu Qianjun’s talent was extremely excellent, he was the most outstanding among all the children of the Gu Family.

Although he was born in a collateral branch, he was utterly loyal and always prioritized him in everything he did.

Even when faced with danger, he would consider only the Young Master, charging towards demon beasts without a second thought for his own safety, with no intention of turning back.

“As long as I can be by the Young Master’s side… how dare I ask for any position.”

Gu Qianjun stood up and waved his hands repeatedly.

“By then, I will be the Saint Heir, and you will be the attendant of the Saint Heir. At the very least, you should become a Direct Disciple, right?”

“Otherwise, wouldn’t that embarrass me, the Young Master?”

Gu Changge let out a chuckle and added reassuringly, “It shouldn’t be too difficult, the disciples from that Holy Land last time were able to promise spots even for Outer Sect or Inner Sect disciples.”

“If I go to the Central State Holy Land, couldn’t I do the same?”

With the conversation reaching this point, Gu Qianjun could only express with a serious demeanor, “Rest assured, Young Master, Qianjun will surely live up to expectations and breakthrough to the Unlimited Realm as quickly as possible!”

“Don’t be too hasty and lose your life over it.”

“Otherwise, I won’t be able to find someone so fitting for the job.” Gu Changge lightly laughed and patted his shoulder.

Then he turned his head to look at Uncle San.

“Hehe…”

“Great nephew, he’s not returning, but I will.”

“Just tell the Family Head that back in the Gu Family, it has always been Uncle San who has been there for me; now that I’m returning, naturally, I should bring Uncle San back with me…”

Gu Sanfeng, seeing his gaze turn towards him, immediately revealed a brilliant smile.

“What Realm have you reached now, Uncle San?”

Gu Changge didn’t take the bait and instead asked back.

“Ah… I’ve barely broken through to the mid-stage of Void Refining Realm.” Although Gu Sanfeng spoke simply, his proud expression was unmistakable.

“Then it seems Grandfather’s approach was not wrong.”

“Uncle San should continue cultivating in Duanbei City.”

“Perhaps… you two could breakthrough to the Unlimited Realm together?”

“When that time comes, although Uncle San is older and it might be difficult to obtain a spot as a Holy Land disciple, being a servant or something should be no problem.”

Gu Changge said with a slight smile.

“Go, go, go!”

“I’m perfectly fine in the Gu Family, why would I go to the Central State Holy Land to be a servant?”

“Just tell me if you will help or not.”

Gu Sanfeng said with a look of disdain.

He just wanted to enjoy life in the Northern Domain. Why on earth would he want to be a servant?

“I won’t help.”

“Take care, Uncle San.”

Saying so, Gu Changge took Yuan Youbai’s little hand and walked past his uncle, as Wang Yue covered her mouth and laughed, wrapping her arm around her husband’s.

“Don’t go!”

“Great nephew, dear nephew…”

“I truly can’t stay here any longer!”

“The Family Head will definitely let me go if you say the word!”

“It’s just one sentence…”

Seeing him really leaving, Gu Sanfeng suddenly became anxious.

“You should just keep cultivating honestly, kid. Once you’ve broken through to the Unlimited Realm, wouldn’t it be better to find me a Third Aunt when you return?”

“I’ll take Uncle San back for cultivation, the Young Master is leaving.”

“I hope the next time we meet, you’ll have broken through to the Unlimited Realm.”

Gu Changge said as he turned to wink at Uncle San and left instructions for Gu Qianjun, then left without looking back, even waving.

“Yes.” Gu Qianjun respectfully saluted the departing figure of the Young Master, and seeing Gu Sanfeng trying to chase after him, he blocked him earnestly and said, “Third Master, please return and cultivate.”

“`

“Not taking his orders, too?”

“Damn right I am, I’m his third uncle, older and wiser, you know?”

“Get out of the way,” Gu Sanfeng commanded, his beard bristling and eyes bulging as he pointed at Gu Qianjun.

“The second Elder said from now on, I only need to listen to the Young Master. Even if the Family Head and Young Master give orders at the same time, I have to follow the Young Master’s,” Gu Qianjun said, his face unchanging as he refused to step aside.

“Only if you can stop me.” Gu Sanfeng sighed, planning to simply bypass him, after all, he was in the Mid-Stage of the Void Refining Realm.

But when Gu Qianjun summoned his long spear, ready to strike if he dared to move, it didn’t look like a bluff at all.

“Damn, I seriously give up…”

“You guys are ruthless…”

“You little brat, just you wait till I get back!”

Gu Sanfeng was nearly driven mad, furiously grabbing his hair and stomping his feet.

If they really fought, of course he wouldn’t lose, but if the old man found out, he’d skin him alive!

“When the third young master returns, he probably won’t be able to beat the Young Master anymore.”

Watching him walk towards the side hall, Gu Qianjun couldn’t help but add insult to injury.

“…”

Gu Sanfeng stumbled in his steps and darted into the side hall without looking back, determined to begin secluding himself daily.

He refused to believe it: he was already at the Mid-Stage of the Void Refining Realm. If he broke through to the Infinite Realm and returned home, would he still not be able to beat that brat?

…

When Gu Changge returned to the Council Hall,

before he even entered, the fifth Elder, Gu Liang, already came out to meet him.

He recognized Wang Yue, who was holding onto his arm,

but when he saw the white-haired girl holding his hand, he was taken aback.

“Who is this…”

Gu Liang asked with furrowed brows, somewhat puzzled.

“Our eldest grandchild’s newly wedded Daoist couple. She looks young now, but you can tell outsiders she’s a child bride if that works,” Gu Kuang said with a chuckle as he stroked his stubble.

“But she…” Gu Liang began, but stopped mid-sentence. As an Eight-grade Heavenly Gate Realm cultivator, how could he not see that the white-haired girl was not from the Human Clan?

Yet… the aura she emitted was different from that of a Demon Beast, which was very strange!

“She’s not an ordinary Demon Beast; she’s from the Dragon Clan.”

“Quite the eye-opener, huh?”

“Came all this way and it wasn’t for nothing, was it?”

Gu Kuang continued to laugh as he handed Yuan Youbai a Storage Pouch, “Kid, here are some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Eat them slowly when you get back. If you finish them, just let the eldest grandson know, and I’ll have someone send you more.”

“Okay! Thank you, Grandpa.” Yuan Youbai didn’t hold back, politely expressing gratitude. The mention of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures had her taking it eagerly with both hands, almost drooling.

Since the giver was her husband’s grandfather, there was no need to treat him as an outsider.

“Ha ha…” Gu Kuang was more and more pleased with his eldest grandson, not only for his exceptional talent, but even for securing three granddaughters-in-law.

In a few years’ time, he might even be holding great-grandchildren.

Although it was harder for cultivators to have offspring than ordinary people, if three wives were not enough, well, just get another three. The eldest grandson was still young; was there really any need to worry?

Moreover, his eldest grandson’s romantic luck didn’t seem too bad.

“My goodness…” Gu Liang’s eyelids twitched. How did this kid pick up a Dragon Clan girl as a little bride?

The Northern Domain hadn’t seen the rarity of the Dragon Clan!

“So ignorant.” Seeing Gu Liang’s dumbfounded look, Gu Kuang couldn’t help but let out a hearty laugh.

“Is that my problem?”

“It will probably be more entertaining when we get back to the clan.”

Gu Liang had wanted to argue further, but thinking about the expressions of the other Elders and the Family Head once they learned of this back home, he ended up smiling.

He wouldn’t be the only one shocked!

“Second Elder, please don’t send news back to the clan while I’m on my way back.”

“I want to see what expression the Family Head will have.”

“When I left, he kept grumbling about whether it was really necessary to dispatch someone from the Eight-grade Heavenly Gate Realm as an escort.”

“Ha ha… Although I thought the same then, well…”

Gu Liang said with a mischievous grin.

“If there’s nothing else you need to instruct, I’ll take the young master back now.”

Hearing this, Gu Kuang nodded slightly, but turned to remind his grandson, “Don’t spend all day just cultivating. Getting married isn’t just about bringing a wife home, communicate more.”

*Cough…*

“I know, I know…” Gu Changge replied awkwardly, coughing and hastily agreeing.

The old man sure didn’t mince his words.

“Go on then.”

“In a few years’ time, when the old man comes back, I hope to hold a great-grandson.”

“Make us proud.”

Gu Kuang waved his hand, still laughing cheerfully.

“Be safe here, and don’t try to be too tough if anything happens,” Gu Changge said as he bowed seriously.

Being cared for by his oldest grandson, Gu Kuang felt very happy: “Don’t worry.”

Without further ado, and urged by Gu Liang, they left the residence.

At the gates of the residence, many Gu Family disciples who got the news were waiting outside.

“Our respects to the Young Master!”

They bowed and saluted as he appeared.

“Take care, all of you,” Gu Changge replied, also bowing and looking around.

With that said, Gu Liang summoned a small boat with a wave of his hand, sat at the bow, and after making sure Gu Changge and the others were seated, the craft turned into a streak of light and flew away.

“Take care, Daoist Fellow.”

The Old Blind Man didn’t want to show himself in front of too many people. Only after they had embarked did he appear and, after speaking to Gu Kuang, vanished on the spot, following the young lord.

When they arrived at the Gu Family’s domain, he was intent on having a good talk with that Gu Family elder…
