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

Chapter 167: Chapter 147: The Family Head Stands Up, Changge You Sit Down!

An Elder from the Eight-grade Heavenly Gate Realm personally controlled the Sky-controlling miniature Flying Boat, and the return journey was much faster than when Gu Changge had come before.

In just one day, the Gu Family’s main city was faintly visible.

Along the way, Elder Gu Liang could not contain his curiosity and bombarded Gu Changge with many questions.

“Did you know about your special constitution beforehand, or did you suddenly find out half a year ago?”

“What? Your aptitude is still improving over time?”

“What kind of constitution do you have, did the Ancestor say anything?”

“What the heck? Furnace Vessel Holy Body!?”

Gu Changge answered Elder Gu Liang’s questions nonchalantly.

Whether the answers were true or false was impossible to verify.

Along the way, although the Old Blind Man never showed himself, he transmitted his voice to Gu Changge, saying he was right beside him and not to worry about any troubles that might arise.

Yuan Youbai, on the other hand, was quite interested and occasionally popped her head out to look down.

“What’s the difference between here and Central State?” Wang Yue asked curiously upon seeing this.

“Hmm…”

“There’s quite a big difference in the concentration of the nature’s spiritual energy between heaven and earth.”

“It’s about three to five times less!”

“Moreover, the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures here are obviously fewer than in Central State, and they are also younger.”

“There are also fewer high-level cultivators you encounter here, other differences I haven’t really noticed.”

Yuan Youbai blinked her eyes and answered Sister Princess’s question.

Being from the Dragon Clan, if nature’s spiritual energy was too thin, it would naturally affect her growth rate.

However, as long as there were enough Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, this could be compensated for.

With Lord Jun’s incredibly miraculous Elixirs, even in the Northern Domain, her growth speed would not be slower than in Central State!

“Is that where Lord Jun’s family is?” Yuan Youbai asked when she saw a new city in the distance.

She asked this question each time they encountered a new city along the way, seeming somewhat nervous.

Although Sister Princess had told her that with Lord Jun around, no one would bully her,

yet she was not from the Human Clan and might receive different looks. She was accustomed to this herself, but she was most worried that it would cause trouble for Lord Jun.

“This time it is.” Wang Yue said with a smile, nodding her head.

Little Hanhan, upon hearing her confirmation, said no more and kept rubbing her scaly dragon leather armor.

“Nervous about what?”

“With Lord Jun here, no one will dare to bully you.”

Wang Yue comforted her by holding her small hands with a smile.

“Mm!”

Looking at Lord Jun’s figure at the prow of the Flying Boat, which looked as striking as a descending Immortal,

she felt much more at peace in her heart.

“Heh…”

Seeing that they were about to arrive at the family mansion, Elder Gu Liang suddenly let out an unprovoked laugh.

He couldn’t help but look forward to the expressions of the Family Heads when they saw how Gu Kuang had publicly ridiculed him for his lack of knowledge back in Duanbei City!

This was certainly not his problem; it was simply that the boy was too outrageous.

Who would have thought that in just a short two months of departure, he would have reached the Late Stage of the Reach Profound Realm.

Even that thing mentioned by the blind senior, the Acquired Dao Body, was enough to gain the attention of the Holy Lands in Central State.

Tsk tsk…

Before long, the Flying Boat entered the main city directly.

Usually, one could not fly in the main city, even with Sky-controlling Magic Treasures, which had to land at specific locations.

As was the case with the visitors from the Heavenly Cold Sect, and even the Sky-controlling Magic Treasures from the Northern Domain Royal Family, they all had to abide by the rules.

However, as an Elder, Gu Liang naturally did not have to consider these things.

Not to mention, he had the Gu Family’s Young Master on board his Flying Boat, so there was no need to care about these rules at all.

The Flying Boat descended slowly in front of the Gu Family Mansion.

As the group jumped down from the Flying Boat, Elder Gu Liang casually waved his hand and stored the Flying Boat away.

The Steward and Guards at the mansion gate quickly came forward with a smile and greeted, “We have seen Elder Gu Liang!”

“We have seen the Young Master and Young Lady.”

Technically, as the Young Master, Gu Changge’s status was above that of the Elders, enjoying the same treatment as the Family Head, but the Elders, after all, had held positions of high authority for many years.

Gu Changge did not give it too much importance.

Who to greet first or later, he wasn’t going to make a fuss with the Steward over these things.

“Haven’t you learned any manners?”

Gu Changge didn’t mind, but Elder Gu Liang frowned and scolded discontentedly.

He had come to understand the current importance of this Young Master to the Gu Family. Even the Family Head Gu Zhan was not as important now as Gu Changge, the Young Master!

And not to mention that he had caught the attention of the Ancestor!

“What does Elder mean?” the servants were somewhat confused, not knowing what they had done wrong.

“Meeting the Elder first, what is the meaning of this?”

Seeing they were still unaware of their mistake, Gu Liang explained discontentedly.

“This…”

The servants were even more puzzled—greeting you first was also wrong?

Yet they promptly re-greeted the Young Master respectfully, “We have seen the Young Master, welcome Young Master back to the mansion!”

Elder Gu Liang wanted to say more, but Gu Changge waved his hand with a smile, “It’s fine, no need to fuss over this, greeting him first was correct.”

“Hmph, shouldn’t you quickly thank the Young Master?” said Elder Gu Liang, giving them a glance.

“Thank you for your generous forgiveness, Young Master!”

The servants bowed again and again, then watched as the two entered the mansion.

After they had gone, the two Stewards wiped their foreheads, not understanding why Elder Gu Liang was dissatisfied when Gu Changge himself wasn’t bothered. Well…

It’s a shame I’m not part of the Gu Family’s direct lineage, just a servant’s life!

“However…”

“I always feel like the Young Master’s realm seems to have improved a lot, even his temperament seems somewhat different.”

“Do you think you can sense the Young Master’s realm?”

One of them frowned and muttered.

“Definitely not, the Young Master has a magic treasure on him that conceals his aura.”

Another steward reminded.

“No, no, no…”

“Just now, the Young Master didn’t seem to use that Hidden Breath Ring.”

“When I got off the flying boat, I didn’t see the comer clearly and instinctively probed their realm.”

“But… I couldn’t see through the specific realm.”

“Unless the Young Master has now broken through to the perfection of the Qi Sea Realm?”

The steward at the perfection of the Sky-controlling Realm shook his head, expressing disbelief.

“You must be mistaken, right?”

“How could it be so fast? Better say less, and just focus on our work.”

Another person looked at him doubtfully, not believing what he said. Everyone knows the Young Master’s situation; how could he reach perfection in the Qi Sea Realm just by going to Duanbei City?

Being so rebutted, that person also believed he must have been mistaken.

Walking into the Gu Family’s inner court, Yuan Youbai lowered her head silently, clutching Lord Jun’s long robe, not daring to look around.

Afraid of attracting anyone’s attention.

“Shall I take Youbai back to our house first?”

Noticing this, Wang Yue said softly.

“That’s fine.”

Gu Changge glanced at the slightly timid Little Hanhan and nodded in agreement.

He still had to visit the Council Hall with Elder Five to meet the Family Head.

Least the presence of the elders in the hall would make the little one even more nervous.

It seems she had never experienced these matters before, always following her mother.

Yuan Youbai didn’t say anything, following Wang Yue to the small courtyard, where she finally breathed a sigh of relief, starting to take in the view of Lord Jun’s family.

Whenever anyone from the Gu Family met her gaze, she would quickly turn her little face away, afraid they would notice her eyes, which were different from those of the Human Clan.

“Relax.”

“You’re now the Young Lady of the Gu Family.”

“They should all be bowing to you.”

On the way, people from the Gu Family could recognize Wang Yue, who would respond with a light laugh and a nod of her head to their respectful gestures.

Seeing how shy the little one was, Wang Yue reminded her softly.

“Oh…” Yuan Youbai nodded, but she was still timid, causing Wang Yue to sigh and not insist any further, waiting for her to get used to it.

On the other side.

Gu Changge watched as Elder Five’s walking posture became more and more arrogant, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

Was it really him who had returned from training in Duanbei City, or was it Elder Five?

Why did Elder Five now walk with a stride that said he owed nothing to anyone?

Since he hadn’t activated the Hidden Breath effect of his Space Ring, many of the Gu Family’s direct lineage could see his realm!

Even several uncles and stewards were so stunned when they saw Gu Changge that they forgot to greet him.

After he passed by, they rubbed their eyes.

“Did I see that wrong?”

“Has Changge entered the late stage of the Reach Profound Realm?”

“It couldn’t have been Changge…”

“Anyway, I either saw the wrong person or the wrong realm…”

One of them rubbed his eyes and waited for Gu Changge to walk away before muttering to himself.

But the person beside him added, “I must have seen wrong too…”

“Or maybe we’re both crazy.”

“Hehe… impossible.”

Watching those people not daring to recognize him and discussing him with various opinions, Gu Changge shook his head helplessly.

Elder Five was even more insistent!

As if those people were not discussing Gu Changge, but him.

“The old man said it definitely wasn’t me, clearly it’s you, kid, who’s abnormal.”

Seeing Gu Changge’s helplessness, Elder Five laughed and said.

Just outside the door, he stood up for Gu Changge because he felt that this young man was too defiant, so he gave him due attention.

However, he hadn’t expected that this young man was also quite good at talking, humble and composed. With such talent, it was rare to see such a temperament.

Soon, the two arrived at the Council Hall.

“Wait a moment.”

Elder Five suddenly got an idea, stroked his beard, and chuckled, stopping Gu Changge.

“Huh?” Gu Changge was confused but still stopped.

Only to see Elder Five walking arrogantly into the great hall, not waiting for Gu Zhan and the two elders discussing matters inside to speak.

He pointed directly at Gu Zhan: “Stand up, stand up.”

“What?” Gu Zhan doubted he had heard correctly.

“I said stand up.” Elder Five repeated.

Although he didn’t know what he was up to, Gu Zhan still frowned and stood up: “Why not let Changge come in?”

He hadn’t used his Divine Sense to probe, but with the senses of an Eight-grade Heavenly Gate Realm, he had long heard Changge stopping outside the door.

“Now you can.”

“Good kid, come in!”

“Here, sit here…”

Elder Five stepped aside, smiling at Gu Changge and pointed to the main seat behind Gu Zhan.

“?” Gu Zhan’s face turned green.

Those two elders discussing matters also frowned; what was Elder Five trying to do?
