Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 144 - 133: Suddenly Seeing the Light, Why Not Ask Youbai Directly?

Chapter 144: Chapter 133: Suddenly Seeing the Light, Why Not Ask Youbai Directly?

“Very well said, Daoist Fellow Xue.”

Gu Kuang awkwardly coughed and changed his address with a clasped hand gesture.

Even though he had decided to follow Great Sun, being Ninth Grade Great Power, stronger than himself, he still had to show the necessary respect.

“Old man Xue Zheng, the Eastern Domain’s Divine Prognosticator, cannot swear a Heavenly Dao Oath, but from today onward, I will put Little Friend Gu first in everything.”

“As long as it does not go against the goodness in my heart, I will obey all your commands in the future.”

“If I break my promise and betray you, I am at the mercy of the Gu Family’s thousand cuts, without any regret or complaint.”

...

Old Blind Man no longer spoke to Gu Kuang, but rather, with a solemn face, he clasped his hands towards Gu Changge and bowed deeply.

“Senior Xue, you are too kind.”

“Since Senior Xue is willing to lend assistance, I naturally welcome it.”

Gu Changge quickly extended his hand to support his arm.

“Let’s dispense with the formalities, Senior Xue, please stay at the Gu Household.”

“If there is anything you need, I will try my best to fulfill it within my capabilities.”

Gu Changge was naturally very pleased to bow in gratitude for the unexpected Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm thug.

“I am unworthy…”

“Having chosen to pledge loyalty, you are the master, and I the servant; how could I accept this.”

Old Blind Man modestly turned his body aside, and earnestly spoke.

“Senior Xue, you speak too gravely.”

“How can we talk of master and servant? Having Senior Xue’s assistance is my fortune.”

Gu Changge waved his hand as he spoke.

“There should still be protocols…” Old Blind Man was very persistent.

“Let’s not talk about master and servant then.”

“If Senior does not mind, in the future you can simply call me Young Master or My Lord.”

Upon hearing this, Old Blind Man no longer insisted, but slightly clasped his hands, “Xue Zheng, I am thankful for your care in the future.”

This scene made the onlookers click their tongues in wonder.

A top-tier Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm Great Power, asking for care from their Young Master.

If one did not witness it with their own eyes, who would believe it?

“I am the one who needs your care more, Senior Xue.” Gu Changge responded with a slight bow and a light smile.

“Still being polite…” Gu Wanquan couldn’t help but mutter.

“Ha ha…”

Everyone glanced at each other and laughed.

Thus, Xue Zheng stayed in the Gu Family’s residence without bringing up joining the Holy Land anymore. Now, he only needed to think about how he could be most beneficial to the Young Master.

The farther Gu Changge could go, the better it was for him.

Since he didn’t have the capabilities himself, why not follow a capable Child of Luck? Moreover, joining early, if it turned out well, it’s like the saying goes: one’s entire household prospers!

“Shall we have a feast?”

Gu Kuang shook his Wine Gourd, looking at Xue Zheng as he asked.

“I would ask for nothing better.” Old Blind Man, with a smile on his face and stroking his beard, replied.

Before making this decision, he was indeed highly conflicted internally, but after making his decision, he completely relaxed.

From now on, he only needed to do his duty and leave the rest to Heaven!

He believed his judgment was correct.

“We few old folks will relax a bit, so we won’t hold you back.”

“Perfect timing, your Little Lady has just returned. She’s right outside the door.”

Gu Wanquan suddenly looked at Gu Changge as he spoke.

“Oh? Is my Wife back?”

“Then I shall not disturb your merriment, my elders.”

Originally, Gu Changge was not very interested in this matter, but upon hearing this, he clasped his hands and left immediately.

After all, securing a Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm thug had been settled; whether he drank wine or not didn’t matter!

After he left, Old Blind Man used his cloudy eyes to watch his departing figure and slightly bowed respectfully.

He whispered softly, “Old Blind Man I, have changed my fate against the heavens.”

“Is it necessary?” Gu Wanquan asked doubtfully.

He never quite understood why this Blind Daoist Fellow was so insistent.

“Daoist Fellow, you are not aware of the luck you’re in…”

“That the Gu Family has such a Child of Luck as a son, perhaps in the future they might join the ranks of the great families of Central State!”

“This is a blessing for the entire family.”

“Unfortunately, Old Blind Man I, due to my special Cultivation Technique, was once arrogantly trying to decipher destiny, and now I have no juniors left…”

Old Blind Man shook his head and sighed.

“Let’s not speak of this, I will have someone prepare some food and drink, and today we will have a hearty drink.”

“Ha ha, my Gu Family has added another Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm Great Power, a great joyous event!”

The Great Elder heartily laughed and directed Gu Qianjun, who was already stunned at the door hearing everything, to prepare the food and drinks.

Gu Qianjun silently withdrew, only remembering that the Young Master had just recruited a top-tier Ninth Grade Great Power as a runner…

…

Meanwhile, before Gu Changge reached the front of the residence, he had already encountered his returning Wife.

“Are you heading out, Husband?” Liu Qingqing’s eyes brightened when she saw her Husband, walking up briskly and curiously asking.

“No, isn’t it just that I felt my Wife’s return?”

“Just now, we bumped into each other.” Gu Changge said with a light laugh.

“You really know how to make a person happy…” Liu Qingqing rolled her eyes at him, but her face couldn’t hide her happy smile.

“To make my Wife happy is naturally wonderful.”

Gu Changge didn’t contradict her and instead spoke openly.

The two walked side by side. Disciples of the Gu Family or the deacons seeing them also respectfully saluted.

Compared to when he first arrived at Duanbei City, when people saluted out of protocol to the Young Master,

now, they sincerely and sincerely saluted Gu Changge the person.

Completely impressed…

If he didn’t become Young Master, who else in the Gu Family would be fitting?

Gu Changge lightly nodded and responded with a smile.

“How has Youbai been recently?”

“Husband hasn’t gone to see her yet, has he?”

Liu Qingqing suddenly asked on the road.

“This…”

“Ah, it’s kind of a headache.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changge rubbed his temples helplessly.

“Husband doesn’t like Little Bai?”

Liu Qingqing blinked confusedly.

“Not really.”

“Mainly…,” Gu Changge hesitated.

Seeing this, Liu Qingqing suddenly realized, “I understand now.”

“Husband, do you feel like you’re taking advantage of someone vulnerable?”

At this, Gu Changge’s steps faltered.

He looked at his wife somewhat surprised.

He didn’t expect his wife, who seemed naive on normal days, to perceive his dilemma.

“It seems I guessed right.”

“Why does my husband look at me with such surprise?” Liu Qingqing smiled proudly, then pouted as if displeased, “Does my husband think I’m stupid?”

“Of course not.”

“It’s just a bit surprising.”

Gu Changge quickly waved his hands to deny it.

Honestly speaking, Qingqing is definitely not stupid, she’s just a bit too naive.

“It’s simple.”

“Because that’s just the kind of person my husband is…”

“With justice and righteousness in his heart.”

“That’s why he feels such distress.”

“But really, there’s no need for that!”

Liu Qingqing stopped walking and looked at her husband seriously.

“What do you mean?” Gu Changge furrowed his brows slightly.

“My husband just feels that Youbai is accepting this due to the suffering she’s enduring now, due to being controlled by others.”

“It’s just because of the circumstances.”

“But why doesn’t my husband ask what Youbai really thinks?”

“Every time I return from training outside the city, she asks me about Husband’s affairs, listening very seriously.”

“If it were only because she was being controlled, why would she bother learning about these things?”

“In my opinion, Youbai isn’t as Husband imagines. She’s willing and rather fond of Husband.”

Liu Qingqing lightly tapped her chin with her fingers, recalling the recent times she saw Youbai, and seriously analyzed this with her husband.

Hearing her say this, Gu Changge was also taken aback.

“So… why doesn’t Husband directly ask her what she thinks?”

“Isn’t that the simplest method?”

Liu Qingqing spoke, tilting her head and blinking.

“Ha… indeed I was too caught in my own concerns!”

“Just asking directly would have been fine, instead I troubled myself for so long.”

Gu Changge felt quite enlightened after listening and agreed wholeheartedly.

Just as his wife said, he didn’t consider himself a saint, but neither would he take advantage of someone in their hour of need.

He intentionally hadn’t contacted Yuan Youbai recently, just because he felt such behavior was inappropriate.

But after his wife’s insight, he realized he was being overly concerned.

The simplest way was just to ask her own opinions and feelings; why trouble himself alone?

But speaking of…

Forming a Daoist couple with a transformable member of the Dragon Clan didn’t bother him, he just wondered if the system would still be effective?

If it could still work, wouldn’t that mean a significant boost in attributes again?

“There’s no time to lose, I also wanted to check on Youbai first thing upon my return.”

Liu Qingqing saw her husband had figured it out, her eyes curving beautifully as she smiled.

She hooked her husband’s arm and headed towards Youbai’s courtyard.

Along the way, Gu Changge laughed self-deprecating, not realizing his own misunderstanding if not for his wife’s guidance.

Midway, he casually took out a wooden box and handed it to his wife.

Liu Qingqing saw the wooden box and knew it was the unique elixir of her husband, but this time she didn’t refuse and sweetly accepted it with a smile.

When they reached the courtyard, they heard Wang Yue talking inside.

“Ah?”

“What if she makes him angry, will he hit Youbai?”

“No?”

“Oh, that’s good; Youbai has always hated pain…”

Hearing the voices in the courtyard, Gu Changge was utterly confused. What exactly was Wang Yue telling her about him?

He simply pushed the door and entered.

The two were deeply engrossed in their conversation. Yuan Youbai had been very safe in the Gu Family recently and had let her guard down.

Gu Changge, able to mask his presence with a ring, coupled with Liu Qingqing’s advancement to Ruins Realm, made it so Wang Yue didn’t notice their sudden arrival.

As the courtyard door opened, she was startled.

Chagrined, she said, “Lord Husband, why are you here?”

“I suspect someone has been talking behind my back and came to check.”

“No, it’s a misunderstanding!”

“Why would I speak ill of Lord Husband?”

“I was merely instructing our sister in advance to avoid upsetting Lord Husband!”

Saying this, she even gave Yuan Youbai a wink.

The little one, although naive, quickly caught on and nodded repeatedly: “Mm! Little Bai is very well-behaved.”

Yet her gaze towards Gu Changge was timid and somewhat pitiful.

As if she feared being sent away if she misspoke.

It had been more than half a month, and he had finally come to visit her. She wondered if he might be here to send her away…
