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

Chapter 90: Chapter 90 Tiannan Mansion, Likes Listening to Tunes (Seeking First Subscription!)

Outside Tiannan City, a steward from a collateral branch of the Gu Family had spotted someone riding a Spirit Steed swaggeringly passing over the city wall from afar.

At the city gates, he couldn’t contain his curiosity and asked the guards, “Just now, I saw someone entering the city directly from the sky. Do you know their identity?”

Usually, those who make such a high-profile entrance are nine out of ten from the Gu Family’s direct lineage; he must seize the opportunity to ingratiate himself.

Sure enough, the guard cupped his hands and said, “Responding to the lord, the distinguished person who just passed had the Gu Family’s Deacon Waist Card at their waist.”

“Hiss…”

“You have all worked hard; these Spirit Stones are for you to enjoy some drinks after you change shifts.”

The steward’s eyes lit up at the words—it wasn’t just any direct lineage member but a Deacon.

At the very least, that must be a presence from the Void Refinement Realm within the Gu Family. If he served well, there was a chance he could be transferred to work in the Gu Family’s main city!

Feeling elated, he casually threw out a few low-grade Spirit Stones, planning to visit and pay his respects after entering the city.

The Squad Leader, who accepted the Spirit Stones, suddenly thought of something.

He added to the departing figure of the steward, “By the way, sir, have you ever seen a black gold-plated Gu Family Waist Card?”

“Black gold-plated waist card…”

“Heh, that’s something only the Family Head has.”

“Eh?”

“The person who just entered the city, did you see a black gold-plated waist card?”

“No, the Family Head is busy with countless affairs; how could he possibly come to Tiannan City.”

The steward laughed off an explanation, but suddenly he froze.

“There was a young master wearing a black gold-plated waist card at his waist…”

“But now that you mention it, perhaps I saw it wrong; it should be some other accessory, not a Gu Family Waist Card.”

Hearing that the Waist Card was actually a symbol of the identity of the Gu Family Head, the Squad Leader immediately scratched his head, affirming he must have been mistaken since the person looked like a young gentleman.

And he was accompanied by a young woman, riding the same Spirit Steed. What sort of existence was the Gu Family Head, a Heavenly Gate Realm Great Power, to behave like that?

“Young master…”

“Wearing a black gold-plated waist card!”

Murmuring to himself, the steward instantly understood everything.

In recent days, the Gu Family had spread the news that after hanging vacant for more than ten years, the position of Young Master now had a new candidate!

Besides the Family Head’s card, there was another black gold-plated waist card signifying an identity—that of the Young Master Gu.

“Hiss…”

Realizing this, he immediately forgot all else, turned around, and hurriedly chased after the direction the two Spirit Steeds had taken.

At the same time, a command was issued, “Spread the order—Young Master is visiting Tiannan City. If anyone, blind to their actions, offends the Young Master, they shall be shown no mercy!”

He thought it was an opportunity, but now he was somewhat panicked.

This opportunity was a bit too big, and he feared he couldn’t handle it!

He might consider attaching himself to a Deacon, but meeting the Young Master… that would be a great honor for him.

The position of Young Master, vacant for more than ten years, held authority above even the Elders and could decide everything concerning the nineteen cities under the Gu Family with just one word!

If he hosted well, a single commendation could change his fate drastically!

But if he failed to serve well, who knew what kind of fate awaited him?

Even now, although everyone was aware of the Young Master’s existence, no one had yet made contact with this Young Master.

When they realized he had disappeared from sight, those guarding the city reacted.

“The… Young Master?”

“Isn’t that more honored than an Elder?”

“Goodness gracious…”

“Lucky I stopped in time earlier; otherwise, it wouldn’t be just you in trouble; I would have probably lost my position too.”

The Squad Leader was startled and filled with immense hindsight fear.

The Sky-controlling Realm guard who had spoken out earlier felt his legs trembling.

Mother, I’ve really stepped up—just now I dared to call out to the Young Master Gu to come down and pay!

However, after realizing their mistake, someone among the guards quickly went into the city to deliver the message. If the Young Master was provoked within Tiannan City, there would be hell to pay.

…

“Uncle San, where shall we rest?”

For eighteen years, Gu Changge had never visited any other city of the Gu Family, and this was his first time traveling far.

“Over there.”

Gu Sanfeng pointed towards a majestic hall in the distance with only a plaque on it that read [Tiannan City].

“…”

“Isn’t that the Mansion of the City’s Head?”

Gu Changge blurted out.

“Yes, the Mansion of the City’s Head.”

“The moment you entered the city, you became the head of Tiannan City; naturally, you stay in the Mansion of the City’s Head.”

Gu Sanfeng chuckled, this kid really hadn’t been anywhere before.

Tiannan City is all under the control of the Gu Family, and there isn’t any city master to speak of. The so-called City Master’s Mansion is also provided for the people of the Gu Family.

On regular days, if he came to Tiannan City, he would also reside in the City Master’s Mansion.

“That’s quite the rationale, it was silly of me to speak such nonsense.”

Gu Changge, with a slight tug at the corner of his mouth, had already come around and only then spoke.

Wang Yue, seeing him at a loss for the first time, couldn’t help but laugh aloud, “Husband, it seems you still haven’t gotten used to your identity as Young Master, huh~!”

In the midst of their conversation, two Spirit Steeds had already come to a stable stop in front of the grand hall.

Although the space couldn’t compare to the vastness of the Gu Family’s Inner Court, it could still be described as magnificent.

Before they could make any movement, a respectful Sky-controlling Realm Guard stepped forward to greet them with a bow.

Anyone capable of using flight to reach this place was, without doubt, from the Gu Family.

Gu Sanfeng, already very adept at these affairs, dismounted directly, handing his Spirit Steed to the man.

Seeing this, Gu Changge followed suit.

“Come down.” Yet, Wang Yue made no move, and he casually spoke.

“Hmph!”

Wang Yue leapt down, her toes lightly touching the ground.

Her haughty little face tilted to one side.

This left him somewhat dumbfounded. What was happening here?

“Do you want me to help you down?”

After tasting the situation, Gu Changge finally understood.

“May I ask your esteemed name, sir?”

The man didn’t rush to send the Spirit Steeds to the Spirit Ring; instead, he approached Gu Sanfeng with a cupped-fist salute.

Whenever a member of the Gu Family stayed in Tiannan Mansion, they had to be registered.

Aside from making it easier for the Gu Family to track any issues that arose, the Tianan City side also maintained a special registry tracking the preferences of each visiting dignitary so they could offer tailored hospitality based on the names.

“You’ve asked the wrong person.”

“You should be asking him.”

Gu Sanfeng waved his hand and looked towards his grandnephew.

“Ah?”

The Sky-controlling Realm Guard was somewhat bewildered; he had seen that this person’s Waist Card signified that of a Deacon, so why ask the younger man?

Did he not want to give out his own name?

“May I ask the young master’s name?”

Nonetheless, he couldn’t concern himself with that and turned around to enquire once again with a bow.

His eyes also glanced towards the young master’s waist, expecting a Direct Lineage Token.

But upon this glance, he shuddered in shock!

A black Gold-Plated Waist Card…

He was not just some gate Guard but someone who usually stood guard outside the Tiannan Mansion. News of the appointment of a new Young Master for the Gu Family had already been spread by the Stewards.

He was aware of what that Waist Card looked like—it was indeed a black Gold-Plated Waist Card.

In his focus on the elder in front, he had failed to notice…

“This humble one did not know of the Young Master’s personal visit…”

His calves weakened, and he immediately prostrated on the ground, bowing his head in reverence to Gu Changge.

“Uh…”

“Don’t be nervous; it’s just a stopover to rest.”

“If you need a name for the record, just use Gu Changge.”

With a casual lift of his hand, invisible Spiritual Energy helped the man stand up.

“No… no need to register the name.”

“There is only one Young Master Gu.”

“This one will immediately arrange for some food and drinks… Is there anything else the young master might require that I can assist with?”

The Guard, helped to his feet, was still visibly frightened and somewhat excited, for a Young Master was indeed much rarer to come by than an Elder!

The other Guards outside the Tiannan Mansion had already gathered around, eager to pay their respects to the Young Master. Gu Changge waved his hand to indicate that such formalities were unnecessary, saying that a meal would suffice.

He was preoccupied with thoughts of his Wife back in Duanbei City and had no intention of resting for too long in Tiannan City.

However, Gu Sanfeng, on the other hand, clearly thought otherwise. The mere thought of having to go to Duanbei City meant the end of his good days; wasn’t it best to seize the moment and enjoy himself first?

He wasn’t like this smelly kid who was easy to please, not to mention that he also had a wife, beautiful as a flower, and yet another one waiting for him in Duanbei City!

Some perish from drought, while others drown in floodwaters!

Soon, the Spirit Steeds were sent to the Spirit Ring for care.

The three of them entered the Tiannan Mansion openly, but as they walked through the gate, a Guard who had been stationed there for a longer time recognized Gu Sanfeng.

It seemed… he was a Deacon who enjoyed listening to music.

Gu Sanfeng also noticed the Guard’s gaze and lightly acknowledged him with a nod and a smile.

The Guard, having received the hint, immediately understood how to proceed…

As soon as the three of them settled into the grand hall to rest, he quickly instructed someone, “Go arrange for some beautiful women; that gentleman enjoys listening to music, understand?”
