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

Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Wang Yu Takes the Bait! (Please Follow)

Gu Changge saw Liu Qingqing’s mother approaching and was about to greet her with a smile.

“This is all our fault… It has nothing to do with Qingqing and you, child.”

Zhao Ling hadn’t arrived yet, but her eyes were already red.

“Ah?”

“What?”

Gu Changge was a bit confused, she had already told Liu Qingqing that she really didn’t care about those things.

Had she not told her mother?

“Back then…”

Zhao Ling was about to speak, but then she remembered that the people of the Heavenly Cold Sect were around and hastily stopped.

“Auntie, there seems to be some misunderstanding here.”

“The other day Qingqing already spoke to me, and my answer was simple.”

“If you are husband and wife, what is there to fuss about?”

“It’s just a trivial matter, auntie, there’s no need to worry about it, I came to find Qingqing for another important matter…”

Seeing her reaction, Gu Changge guessed that probably right after Liu Qingqing returned to the quarter, she went into seclusion without having the chance to pass on the message.

Thus, she could only gently smile and softly explain.

“Not… Not because of what happened back then?” Hearing this, Zhao Ling was stunned.

These past two days, she had been worried about this matter, to the extent that she couldn’t sleep, always listening out for when Changge would visit.

“Cough…”

“A few days ago, when grandfather returned home, about a hundred miles north of the city, he saw an Earth Rank Spiritual Medicine that was slightly short of maturity.”

“These two days should be about right, so he said that Qingqing and I could go and harvest it, which would also be a good opportunity for the two of us to foster our relationship…”

“But since Qingqing is in seclusion without knowing when she’ll be out.”

“It looks like I’ll have to go alone first, lest the herbs mature and attract wild beasts to consume them.”

Gu Changge cleared her throat, deliberately lowering her voice to explain for her.

“This…”

“I was narrow-minded…”

“Brother Gu’s child… just as outstanding as him.”

“I’m relieved that Qingqing can be your Daoist Couple.”

Zhao Ling was stunned for a while before she finally swept away her inner worries, completely believing Gu Changge’s words.

Looking at Gu Changge, her gaze was filled with immense affection.

If she was kind to Gu Changge last time out of a feeling of indebtedness, this time, it was genuinely from the bottom of her heart that she loved this child.

“Well then…”

“Now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, that’s good.”

“Since Qingqing has not yet finished her seclusion, Changge, you should go ahead.”

Gu Changge saw that she had the demeanor of wanting to chat for a long time when they met a few days ago, so she quickly bowed to say that the matter of the Spiritual Medicine couldn’t be delayed and excused herself.

“Good, good child, go attend to your business.”

“I’ll tell her for you when Qingqing comes out of seclusion.”

“If there’s time, I’ll have her come find you.”

Seeing that he had matters to attend to, Zhao Ling did not retain him, but just smiled tenderly as she sent him out of the courtyard until she could no longer see his figure before returning to her own room, letting out a deep sigh of relief.

She had truly not expected, this child was even willing to use his Root Bone as a bargaining chip without any displeasure.

Such character is hard to find in this world…

“Not saying a word before going into seclusion, you almost scared me to death…” @@novelbin@@

Her worries dissipated, but she was still huffing in her heart; her daughter really didn’t understand the situation, not mentioning a word to her and almost causing a big misunderstanding.

“North of the city, a hundred li…”

“Though it’s still within the territory of the Gu Family, if there are no elders from the Gu Family to protect me…”

Wang Yu sat cross-legged on the bed in his room, having finished his cultivation.

At this moment, the urge struck him again.

Originally, he had almost given up on taking action against Changge, but as the days passed, Liu Qingqing had been getting closer and closer to that guy.

This inevitably made him feel threatened.

If the two really fell in love, it would mess up his grand plan!

“Could it be that he was deliberately trying to trap me last time?”

“Forget it, I’ll just follow and see.”

Wang Yu was quite confident in his Fifth-grade Ruins Realm strength; the Gu Family, even with a Deacon, would find it difficult to retain him.

Just to pick some Earth Rank spiritual medicine, the Gu Family wouldn’t likely send an Elder-level powerhouse to escort.

With that in mind, he had already left the courtyard, making sure not to attract anyone’s attention as he departed from the Gu Family Mansion.

By the time he spotted Changge again, they were already near the North City Gate.

Besides Changge, there was also a mid-stage Sixth-grade Refining Void Realm expert, a whole Great Realm higher than him.

“It seems he wasn’t setting a trap for me after all…”

“But with the Refining Void Realm, it’s almost impossible for him to detect this prince.”

Seeing a Sixth-grade Refining Void Realm expert by Changge’s side, Wang Yu felt relieved.

If he intended to trap him, he wouldn’t bring such a powerful expert along.

But as a prince, how could he not have some trump cards?

Immediately, he took out a black cloak from his storage ring, donned it, and his entire aura vanished as if it had disappeared.

As long as he didn’t actively expose himself, even someone a Great Realm higher in the Refining Void Realm couldn’t possibly detect him!

Moreover, since that person appeared to be only at the early stage of the Refining Void Realm, even if something went wrong, he was confident that with his accumulated resources over the years, he could escape!

As for whether he’d have the opportunity to strike, he wasn’t demanding; everything relied on Changge’s fortune!

“Not you, you little brat, how would your old man not know that there’s Earth Rank spiritual medicine a hundred li outside the city?”

Gu Sanfeng stuffed a large pancake he had bought on the road into his mouth, mumbling a question to his grand-nephew.

“Grandfather said there is, maybe he thought Uncle isn’t competent enough and didn’t tell him about this.”

Changge shrugged his hands, pretending to be clueless.

“Go to hell!”

“Cough…”

“You little rascal, disrespectful.”

Hearing this, Gu Sanfeng immediately slapped the brat’s head.

He was chuckling inside; this kid could finally cultivate and had reached the Sky-controlling Realm. Now, slapping him a couple of times didn’t have to worry about killing him.

It wasn’t long before the two wobbled to the North City Gate.

Considering Changge was now in the mid-stage of the Sky-controlling Realm, they directly took a Spirit Steed at the gatehouse.

The Spirit Steed, tall and robust, was a first-order Demon Beast, but after being tamed, its temperament was gentle, suitable for long distances, and no slower than an ordinary Sky-controlling Realm cultivator.

Once they left the gate, they didn’t delay. Changge lightly patted the Spirit Steed’s neck, and with a call of “Drive!”

The Steed dashed out, and behind them, Gu Sanfeng leisurely controlled the air, eating and drinking as if enjoying a scenic outing.

At this pace, a one-hundred-li distance would take less than half a “two hours”.

All along the way, Changge did not show any flaws, and even his Uncle was kept in the dark, truly believing they were searching for Earth Rank spiritual medicine.

Thus, Wang Yu following behind likewise couldn’t discern any issues.

With his Fifth-grade Ruins Realm strength, he didn’t need the Spirit Steed for travel; after concealing his aura, he chose not to fly but kept a few li distance from the duo, neither too close nor too far.

In the air, Gu Sanfeng’s figure served as a guiding light, relieving him from worrying about losing track, eliminating the need to risk using Divine Sense to monitor their movements.
