Early the next morning, the front of the Gu Family Hall was bustling.
The appointment of a Young Master was a matter far more significant than that of a marriage!
Marriage was only a matter concerning Changge alone, but the matter of the Young Master concerned the future of the entire Gu Family.
All the Heavenly Gate Realm Elders who were residing at the Gu Family had to be present!
“I heard that Cousin Changye is preparing to showcase his skills later…”
“I wonder if Changge can handle it.”
“Even if he competes bare-handed against someone with a weapon, I’m afraid Cousin Changge’s chances of winning are not great.”
“After all, Cousin Changye has already reached the Late Stage of the Qi Sea Realm, and his Divine Skills are not lacking.”
Gu Changming, listening to his peers of similar age discussing noisily, simply curled his lips.
He thought, ‘There’s no comparison at all, once Cousin makes a move, it’ll scare you to death!’
Originally, he had the idea of challenging them, but…
After yesterday, he had come to a thorough understanding.
His cousin was simply a monster!
Not to mention the Gu Family having no one comparable to him, even the entire Northern Domain couldn’t find a second one!
In one month, he had gone from a non-cultivator to reaching Perfection in the Sky-controlling Realm!
In ten days, he had cultivated a Top Grade Dark Grade swordsmanship to Small Success, and had mastered the basics of Earth Rank movement technique!
He had even incidentally grasped the Sword Intent!
What was there left to compare?
What else was there to compare!?
Meanwhile, Gu Changge was leisurely preparing a meal in his own courtyard.
“Wife, the meal is ready.”
Gu Changge’s voice rang out.
Liu Qingqing emerged from the room, feeling somewhat apologetic, “This sort of thing should have been done by me, how can I trouble my husband with such labor daily?”
“It’s nothing much…” Gu Changge tugged at the corner of his mouth. He did wish otherwise, but he truly dared not eat his wife’s cooking!
During this period, Liu Qingqing hadn’t even taken the Fasting Pill; she was fed daily by her husband.
Thinking about returning to her sect in a few days and not being able to eat meals hand-cooked by her husband, Liu Qingqing, who had been filled with happiness, felt a pinch of melancholy.
“My husband will soon succeed as the Gu Family’s Young Master. Are you a bit nervous?”
While eating, Liu Qingqing blinked her eyes and asked.
“It seems so, maybe wife, you could help me relax a bit…”
Gu Changge touched his nose and spoke unabashedly.
Hearing this, she immediately rolled her eyes.
Luckily, it was just a joke. After a quick breakfast, the couple headed towards the Council Hall.
They didn’t encounter many people on the way. Besides him, the main character of today, everyone else had arrived even earlier.
When Gu Changge arrived in front of the Council Hall, he found that everything seemed to be ready, just waiting for him!
Besides a circle of Gu Family Elders spectating around, the Elders and Family Head seated in front of the hall were also his peers from the Gu Family.
Glancing around, he could recognize quite a few, but there were also some new faces.
After all, in the past eighteen years, he had almost always stayed in the Back Mountain and hardly walked around in the Inner Court.
“Changge greets the Family Head, the Elders, and the senior family members.”
Gu Changge quickened his pace slightly, reached the front of the hall to perform a courtesy, and also gave a bow to the surrounding Gu Family Elders.
As for Liu Qingqing, she cast an encouraging gaze at him before settling down beside the Heavenly Cold Sect Elders and the Deacon.
Although the Gu Family had not invited them over to watch the Young Master’s succession, since they came to watch, Gu Zhan saw no reason to expel them.
“Since you are here, let’s not waste words.”
Gu Zhan slightly nodded his head, then stood up and surveyed the surroundings.
“You all should know this child, Changge.”
“Even if you are not familiar with him, you should know about the contributions his father, Gu Erjian, has made to our Gu Family.”
“Of the nineteen cities of the Gu Family, three were exchanged by the last Gu Family Young Master.”
“Now that the position of Young Master in the Gu Family has been vacant for over a decade, it’s time to reinstate it today.”
“The Elder and all participated Gu Family Elders unanimously agree that Gu Changge should occupy the position of Young Master.”
“If anyone holds a differing opinion or viewpoint, speak now; otherwise, do not stir up trouble in the future.”
A deep voice spread across the plaza in front of the grand hall, and those from the Gu Family present directed their gaze at Gu Changge, who was about to inherit the position of Young Master.
Feeling many eyes on him, Gu Changge did not show the slightest sign of stage fright. Instead, he straightened his back, smiled lightly, and turned his body slightly in a salute.
Especially when he faced the direction of his wife, he even raised his eyebrows, giving her a reassuring and confident look.
But, he realized his wife seemed not to be looking at him.
Following his wife’s line of sight…
Hiss!
How come they were locking eyes?
The Little Princess from the Northern Domain was smiling at Liu Qingqing, and Liu Qingqing was no less competitive.
“I’m really getting a bit nervous…”
Gu Changge’s eyelid twitched.
However, the more important matter at hand took precedence, and the two women broke their gazes shortly after.
“Since no one has any opinions, we’ll move on.”
Gu Zhan waited a moment, observing silence in the hall with no one objecting, then he declared straightforwardly.
As for Gu Kuang, he sat nonchalantly in the second senior seat among the Elders, grinning ear to ear.
He had also been inspecting everyone present—if his grandson was not capable enough to be selected as the Young Master, so be it.
But if anyone dared to object to Gu Changge becoming the Young Master without sound reasons, he would not stand for it!
“According to the rules, the 68th generation direct lineage of the Gu Family may issue a challenge to him.”
“However, given the special circumstances this time, this child has not cultivated for long, and after consulting with the Elders, the Elder and I have decided to make some modifications.”
“The challengers cannot use weapons, and their realms must be suppressed to the same level as his…”
Gu Zhan continued to look around as he spoke, but Gu Changge interrupted with a salute, “Changge has something to say.”
Seeing this, Gu Zhan nodded slightly, indicating for him to speak first.
“As you all are aware, after eighteen years of hardships, I have finally been able to begin cultivation.”
“But the position of Young Master is not child’s play. If weapons cannot be used, it might be unfair to the other cousins, especially since some of their Cultivations require the use of weapons.”
“Just comparing the same realms is enough.”
“If any cousin feels comparing the same realms is inappropriate, Changge is also willing to compete half a year later according to the most standard rules.”
Gu Changge spoke these words, then he promptly dispelled the effect of the Space Ring that masked his aura.
He even directly stimulated his Spiritual Energy, revealing the realm of Perfection in the Sky-controlling Realm!
This immediately caused a flurry of gasps.
The Gu Family members were aware of his situation. Some had thought that even if he could cultivate now, his realm would probably only be at the Qi Condensation Realm, making him unsuitable for the position of Young Master; he would likely fail this challenge.
But now, seeing his rapid advance, they realized they were utterly mistaken!
Within a month’s time, he had gone from a mere mortal to achieving Perfection in the Sky-controlling Realm!
With such a breakthrough speed, even having him compete in a suppressed realm seemed reasonable to everyone.
Given more time, he might even break through to the Reach Profound Realm. The realm was actually to his advantage!
“Agreed,” Gu Zhan said, subtly raising an eyebrow before looking back at the second Elder, Gu Kuang.
Despite agreeing on the matter before, why the sudden change, yet seeing Gu Kuang looking confident, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
He also wanted to see what confidence the boy had to voluntarily relinquish his advantage!
“Do you have any objections?” Gu Zhan asked the younger generation.
They all shook their heads. Seeing Gu Changge’s rapid realm breakthrough made them realize the rules were fair. In fact, they perceived Gu Changge’s forfeiting of his original advantage in a new light and appreciated him even more.
“Unfortunately, no matter the short time of cultivation and lack of real combat experience, there are no shortcuts in mastering Divine Skills except for Sudden Enlightenment.”
Gu Changye, who was already at the Late Stage of the Qi Sea Realm and preparing to participate in the challenge, slightly shook his head, not optimistic about him.
Gu Changming, however, curled his lips slightly, eager with anticipation to see the expressions on the faces of those people once they realized his cousin’s extraordinary capacities.
They would certainly be more ridiculous than when he first saw them, each a clown just like he was!
“Thus, if anyone believes he is not fit for the position of Young Master, the challenge may begin now.”
“If defeated, the position of Young Master will be suspended for the time being.”
