Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 150 - 138: Youbai’s Cunning Plan, The Current State of the Imperial Family, Taking the Wives Out of the City!_2

Chapter 150: Chapter 138: Youbai’s Cunning Plan, The Current State of the Imperial Family, Taking the Wives Out of the City!_2

“I have reported everything normally.”

“Such frequent inquiries are unusual.”

“Lord Husband, you should be careful.”

“Father’s ambition has never changed; he will sooner or later make a move against the Gu Family and the Heavenly Cold Sect.”

“Speaking of which… one of the messages even asked me about that matter with the Holy Land Disciple from Central State.”

“I guess Father must be planning to make contact with Central State; there have been powers from Central State wanting to reach out to our Northern Domain Royal Family before, but Father never paid them any heed. This time, it’s unusual…”

...

“I’m afraid the person from Central State who contacted Father this time must hold a high position; it’s very likely the person with whom Lord Husband had a conflict before.”

Gu Changge sipped his tea as Wang Yue softly narrated the recent developments.

As for reporting his normal activities back to the Imperial City, that was Gu Changge’s instruction.

After all…

In the eyes of the Emperor of the Northern Domain, she was a spy planted within the Gu Family, but he might not fully trust her; at least the information provided had to be true and without leaks.

Otherwise, a minor investigation could easily reveal flaws.

Thus, although his situation and some information about the Gu Family would be relayed back to the Imperial City, at least he could learn some information from the Imperial City through Wang Yue.

Listening to her analysis, Gu Changge showed no change in expression.

The Gu Family and the Heavenly Cold Sect were not fools; they naturally knew of the Northern Domain Royal Family’s ambitions long ago.

This was not a matter of overnight.

However, the Northern Domain Royal Family making contact with Central State’s Holy Land could indeed be troublesome.

“Don’t worry, if your father could reach out to Central State’s Holy Land…”

“I can do the same.”

Thinking of the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm tributor from the Central State Sword Sect beside him, Gu Changge felt confident.

“That’s… Lord Husband’s extraordinary skills, I truly admire you.” Wang Yue cooed a bit closer, smiling with narrowed eyes.

The more time they spent together, the more mysterious Lord Husband seemed to her.

To this day, she still didn’t know where that extraordinarily wondrous Elixir came from.

But being intelligent, she chose not to inquire.

She could only guess in her heart.

Most likely…

Lord Husband must have had the support of a Holy Land long ago!

After all, such an Elixir had never been seen in the Northern Domain before, and Lord Husband was the only one who possessed it.

The Gu Family couldn’t possibly have such a divine item; otherwise, the Northern Domain would have been dominated by the Gu Family long ago!

And the longer she stayed with Lord Husband, the more she felt she had made the right choice. She might really become the Empress of the Northern Domain in the future as Lord Husband had said!

Taking over the reins of the Northern Domain Royal Family!

Her confidence had never come from the Gu Family or the Heavenly Cold Sect, even though, on the surface, Lord Husband marrying Liu Qingqing, the Heavenly Cold Sect Saintess, meant that both families together could even directly confront the Northern Domain Royal Family.

But her confidence now came solely from Lord Husband!

Before long…

Liu Qingqing also emerged from the Seclusion Room.

Having spent a good amount of time with him, she had roughly figured out the time when Lord Husband usually finished his cultivation.

It was almost always in the morning.

As expected, by the time she came out, Lord Husband had finished his cultivation and was chatting happily with the Little Princess.

Especially Wang Yue, almost clinging to Lord Husband.

“Qingqing has also finished cultivating?”

Gu Changge turned his head upon hearing her.

Sensing Liu Qingqing’s gaze, Wang Yue squinted and smiled, taking the initiative to pour another cup of tea, and approached with a sway of her hips, “Sister, you’ve cultivated all night; have some water.”

“Thank you.” Liu Qingqing nodded slightly and accepted the tea.

The atmosphere turned harmonious for a moment, and Gu Changge straightforwardly expressed his thoughts, “I plan to return to the Gu Family after Qingqing finishes her training.”

“Before that, I’d like to head to the Demon Beast Forest for some more training.”

“Do you want to join?”

Upon hearing Lord Husband’s words, Liu Qingqing naturally did not refuse. She had planned to continue hunting Demon Beasts with her senior sister outside the city today.

Even though she was already assured of victory, the inner cores obtained from those Demon Beasts, once back at the Sect, belonged to her and could be exchanged for points to obtain various cultivation resources provided by the Sect.

Visiting Duanbei City meant earning more resources before leaving; otherwise, it would be a waste of time.

Time spent in seclusion back at the Sect was not lacking.

“Husband, since you are going, I will naturally listen to you,” Wang Yue said with narrowed eyes, smiling.

She had been bored staying in Gu Hall all this time.

Last time she went out with Lord Jun, they found quite a few Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Who knows, maybe this time they would gain a lot as well?

Continuing seclusion could take a long time to break through to the Ruins Realm, but if there were more Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures or some fortuitous opportunities, that would be even better.

Now that she already possessed the Acquired Spirit Body, refining Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures would hardly leave any instability in her foundation.

Moreover, Lord Jun had those miraculous elixirs that could induce Sudden Enlightenment, enough to offset all the drawbacks of rapid advancement!

The three agreed instantly.

Hearing their voices, Yuan Youbai slightly opened the door.

In a soft and weak voice, she asked, “Can Youbai go too?”

When she was alone in the Demon Beast Forest, she had to worry about getting caught by Old Blind Man and his group.

But now, without any worries and following Lord Jun, it was certainly possible!

Moreover, being of the Dragon Clan, she had a special sense for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and could find many in the Demon Beast Forest to consume!

Though she preferred eating Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, she wanted more to show off in front of Lord Jun and prove her usefulness.

“Of course.”

Gu Changge lightly chuckled and nodded.

He had also planned to bring Youbai along.

Thus, the four of them quickly got ready and left the side palace.

Gu Qianjun sat in front of another side palace, gloomy as a frost-stricken eggplant.

Seeing the Young Master emerging, he immediately went up to greet him.

“Young Master…” he bowed with clasped hands.

“What’s wrong? You look listless,” Gu Changge asked, noticing his unusual state.

“Nothing…”

“Where is the Young Master going?”

“Do you need… my help?”

As Gu Qianjun asked, he wore a bitter smile, feeling his question was somewhat superfluous.

Now that the Young Master had a Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm as a runner, what help could he possibly offer?

“That’s perfect.”

“I’m planning another trip to the Demon Beast Forest; you should come along too.”

“Senior Xue is, after all, a Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm. Aside from life-and-death matters, it is more comfortable for you to follow this Young Master.”

Gu Changge seemed to have read his mind and patted his shoulder, smiling.

“I will certainly not let any harm come to the Young Master!”

Hearing this, Gu Qianjun immediately perked up, standing tall.

The Young Master said he would be more comfortable with him!

It seemed he had worried too much!

Just then, Gu Kuang also came out from the side palace.

Hearing their conversation, he chuckled, “I was about to tell you, thinking you should practice a bit more before going home, but it seems that won’t be necessary.”

“Go ahead, and do as you please within five thousand miles outside the city.”

With the elder’s words, Gu Changge, after bidding farewell, led the group grandly out of Gu Hall.

Old Blind Man silently followed them from high above.

However, once Gu Changge and his group left Duanbei City, Old Blind Man paused, the steps of his feet halting.

With a bitter smile, he said, “Daoist Fellow, do you still not trust Old Blind Man?”

“Don’t misunderstand, I was just feeling too stifled in Gu Hall and took the chance to get out.”

“That young man is in your care now; there’s no need to worry about me,” Gu Wanquan’s figure appeared beside him, smiling as he spoke.

To that, Old Blind Man said no more, silently doing what he needed to.

Unless there was danger or the son called him, he would not show his face.

As for Gu Wanquan, a Ninth Grade from the Gu Family following them, he could understand.

It was still a matter of not fully trusting him…

Indeed, with such a treasure from the Gu Family, how could they allow any mistakes and leave him unattended by an outsider? If something went wrong, on whom would the blame fall?
