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

Chapter 44: Chapter 44: The Position of Young Master

Gu Changge thought it had nothing to do with him anymore and hurriedly left.

But many of the Gu Family members present were all silently watching the Little Princess, awaiting a reply from the Imperial City.

“Why is Cousin Changge so much in demand anyway?”

“I admit I’m not as handsome as Cousin Changge, but can being handsome feed you?”

“Shh… Cousin Changge’s realm isn’t low either. I heard he has reached the Sky-Controlling Realm.”

“Ah?”

During the wait, the Gu Family disciples were also abuzz with speculation.

Gu Zhan and the others were somewhat headache-riddled.

What was this all about?

On normal days, Changge was unassuming, so what had happened in this past month?

It started with the Heavenly Pride Girl from the Heavenly Cold Sect hurriedly presenting herself!

Then he was favored by the Ancestor, who imparted his skills to the boy!

Now even the Imperial Family wanted an alliance, and the Little Princess had taken a liking to him!

Had the boy been accumulating virtues in the eighteen years when he couldn’t cultivate?

Just waiting for this outburst now?

They had really held back a big one!

Fortunately, they didn’t have to wait too long, as the Imperial City had already sent back a message.

After reading the content from the Communication Jade Token, Wang Yue slightly bowed to Gu Zhan and said, “My father, the Emperor, has replied.”

“He agrees to the marriage with Gu Changge, but she must be married as his wife, not as a concubine.”

“Additionally, my father also wishes to inquire whether the Gu Family has any plans to reappoint the position of Young Master.”

Having spoken impartially, Wang Yue then quietly observed Gu Zhan.

Her words also stunned all the Gu Family disciples present.

Is that even possible!?

The Emperor of the Northern Domain really agreed?

Disregarding all these people and specifically choosing a cousin who is about to be married tomorrow?

But this wasn’t their primary concern; the words of Wang Yue also made them prick up their ears.

Ever since the last Young Master of their Gu Family unexpectedly fell, they had not chosen someone for the position of Young Master.

After all, among this generation, no one could match the prowess of Changge’s father.

Moreover, because of Gu Kuang being in the Heavenly Gate Realm, no one dared to bring up the position of Young Master again.

Now that the Imperial Family had raised the issue, they also wanted to hear the Family Head’s thoughts.

“Since the higher-ups have no objections, this matter should be settled.”

“However…”

“The situation with Changge is quite particular. The Little Princess may need to wait and see what the boy desires.”

Gu Zhan pondered for a moment, but did not outright deny it.

As for the position of Young Master, he understood that whoever the Little Princess married, the Imperial Family would inevitably propose him to become the Young Master of the Gu Family.

Normally, the Gu Family might not agree if it were someone else, as Gu Kuang was still there and the last Young Master was Gu Kuang’s second son. But if it was Gu Changge, that really wouldn’t be an issue!

Changge had not only gained recognition from the Ancestor but was also the beloved grandchild of Gu Kuang, and the only heir to the previous Young Master, Gu Erjian!

If he were to take the position of this term’s Young Master, Gu Kuang would definitely not oppose but would rather support him!

In that sense, Gu Changge was indeed the best choice for the Little Princess!

But the premise was also whether Changge was willing.

“Then we shall await the good news from you, Senior. Please arrange accommodations for now, and this matter can be discussed after Young Master Gu’s marriage tomorrow.”

Wang Yue didn’t mind at all, even knowing that tomorrow he would marry, his heart remained unconcerned.

Soon, she was arranged to stay temporarily in a villa not far from the Heavenly Cold Sect.

Aside from her, several Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm Shadow Guards were stationed inside and outside the villa.

Before the Council Hall, numerous direct lineages of the Gu Family looked at each other in confusion.

They had been waiting here early in the morning, already unhappy, and finally seeing the Little Princess, who was stunningly beautiful, they felt it could be a beautiful thing to marry such a beauty as a Daoist Couple.

But now?

Was it stolen by the bustling Changge?

Wrong… Who exactly was there to join the hustle and bustle, it felt like they were the ones joining the hustle!

“Disperse, do not disclose this matter for now.”

Gu Zhan waved his hand to send everyone away, not wanting this matter to be widely known to avoid affecting the next day’s wedding.

The Family Head had spoken, so people could only leave the place in small groups.

Many already realized the issue; this time Cousin Changge might not only pick up a beautiful wife but possibly even snag the position of Young Master! @@novelbin@@

How could this be justified!?

Gu Changming, also one of the Gu Family direct lineages selected this time, rushed to find his father to discuss this matter after the meeting.

…

Gu Changge returned to his courtyard, unable to help but wryly smile.

“What is this all about.”

“Just joining in the fun, almost ended up picking up a wife unintentionally.”

“Could it be that my looks have improved with my cultivation recently?”

Muttering, he arrived by the pond in the courtyard, touched his chin, and looked at his reflection in the water, quite vainly nodding in approval, it actually seemed true!

Just as he was considering whether to begin cultivating, as the Gu Family had everything arranged perfectly for the wedding the next day.

A knocking sounded at the door.

Gu Changge didn’t think much, opened the door, and saw his grandfather and the Family Head looking at him with smiles.

Something was off, very, exceedingly off!

Wasn’t it said that Grandfather and the Family Head were at odds? Why were these two together, coming to find him?

Despite many doubts, he invited the two men into the courtyard and once they were seated in the pavilion, Gu Changge personally brewed a pot of tea for them, and after serving them, stood by.

“Good boy, don’t stand, sit down to talk.”

Gu Zhan laughed heartily, the more he looked at the child, the more sensible he seemed.

“Alright, no need for so much nonsense.”

“Child, the position of Young Master Gu has been vacant for over ten years, it’s time for a new Young Master to take up the position.”

Gu Kuang took a sip of the tea personally made by his grandson, cutting straight to the point.

“Do you two mean to appoint me as the Young Master?”

Gu Changge slightly raised an eyebrow.

The position of Young Master held a high status in the Gu Family, even identified as the designated successor.

Due to family characteristics, only the most outstanding Heavenly Pride Girl of this generation could become Young Master, and given the intricate relationships within the family, obtaining this role meant the support of numerous elders!

In some cases, propositions could even bypass the Family Head’s decision!

“Correct, but there’s one condition.”

Gu Zhan raised his hand to signal Gu Kuang to calm down, continuing in a steady voice.

“You may speak.” Gu Changge nodded slightly; although he had no designs on competing for the Young Master position, if it were offered on a silver platter, there truly was no reason to refuse.

“Besides the position of Young Master, you need to take another wife as well.”

“Today in front of the Council Hall, that Imperial Family Little Princess you saw has a pretty appearance, and her talent is not much less than the Liu Family girl.”

Gu Zhan chuckled lightly, tapping on the table as he spoke.
