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

Chapter 175: Chapter 153 Departure, Saint Heir? Our two sects have a tradition of intermarriage!

“Three more days until Qingqing’s Saintess Ceremony,” she informed me.

“Want to go together?”

Gu Changge casually leaned on the bed and asked Wang Yue, who still hadn’t recovered from her journey.

“I’ll pass. Sister is looking for Husband, not me. Wouldn’t I just be disturbing your private moments if I went?”

Wang Yue gave him a look. She had just returned to the Gu Family Mansion from Duanbei City and didn’t feel like traveling again.

“Besides, Youbai just finished consuming her inner core and has been sleeping deeply to refine it daily; I can’t very well drag her along.”

“Leaving her alone at the Gu Family, she might wake up and think Husband doesn’t want her anymore!” Thinking about Yuan Youbai’s situation, she grinned.

“That’s true.”

“Then I’ll go by myself.”

“I probably won’t stay for many days. After Qingqing inherits the position of Saintess, she will likely enter seclusion for a while.”

“It’s merely showing my face and joining the festivities.”

Hearing this, Gu Changge smiled faintly and said no more.

After resting for a while, and with the help of Wang Yue, he got dressed and then left the guest house.

He originally thought that since he was just going to the Heavenly Cold Sect for fun, taking Senior Xue would be sufficient.

However, he still needed to inform the Family Head.

In the Council Hall, upon hearing that he was going to attend the Saintess Ceremony at the Heavenly Cold Sect, Gu Zhan slightly raised his eyebrows: “Three days? That might be a bit rushed.”

“How about this, I’ll make the arrangements for you, and you can depart immediately.”

After speaking, Gu Zhan didn’t wait for his response, instead directly transmitting a message to several Elders in the family to arrange everything for the Young Master’s journey.

“There’s no need to make it too extravagant.”

“Going with Senior Xue is enough for me,” Gu Changge couldn’t help but speak up after seeing the preparation.

It hadn’t been this complicated when he had gone to Duanbei City.

“Enough for what?”

“You are representing the honor of our Gu Family now.”

“The trip to Duanbei City was for your cultivation experience, that was different.”

“But this time, going to the Heavenly Cold Sect can’t be too casual!”

Gu Zhan gestured with his hands for him not to say more, indicating that the family would take care of the arrangements.

Seeing this, Gu Changge could only reluctantly give up and, after bidding farewell to the Family Head, he first went to the Back Mountain.

When he arrived at the small courtyard, the Old Blind Man had already sensed his presence and had the gate opened in advance.

Looking inside, the Old Blind Man had clearly intended to stay here permanently, having done some tidying up, even the peach tree seemed to have been pruned.

“Does the young master have any instructions for me?” Welcoming him into the courtyard, the Old Blind Man asked cheerily.

He wasn’t afraid of being bothered by the Young Master; he was afraid the Young Master wouldn’t need him at all.

Having finally met someone with such great luck, naturally, he wanted to be as close as possible.

“Not particularly.”

“My Wife is about to inherit the position of Saintess at the Heavenly Cold Sect and has invited me to go.”

“I was thinking if Senior Xue is free, he might join me.”

Gu Changge spoke with a light smile, politely gesturing with hands clasped—a sign of his respect for the Old Blind Man.

Even though the latter had pledged to follow him, he was still a Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm Great Power, not someone to be treated as a mere errand runner.

Respect was still necessary.

“Is that so? When will we leave?”

The Old Blind Man, upon hearing this, didn’t hesitate and agreed on the spot.

“We are leaving today. However, the Family Head seems to still want to prepare some things.”

Gu Changge shook his head somewhat helplessly.

“That’s as it should be.” The Old Blind Man nodded in agreement, fully approving of Gu Zhan’s plans.

Given the Young Master’s talents, no amount of fanfare was too much, especially since he was humble. Still, he was the Young Master of the Gu Family and the head of the leading clan in the Northern Domain; it would be inappropriate to leave without proper preparations.

“Just go on ahead, Young Master. When it’s time to leave, I will follow.”

After the Old Blind Man gave his assurances, Gu Changge didn’t linger. He bid him farewell and returned to his own guest house, quietly waiting for the Family Head’s notice.

“Why is Husband back again?”

Wang Yue saw him return and asked in confusion, thinking he had already left.

After listening to his explanation, she laughed and said, “Well, that’s true. After all, Husband is the Young Master of the Gu Family, visiting the Heavenly Cold Sect, which has a status akin to our own. Proper preparations are needed.”

“It’s just a pity Youbai is currently refining her inner core and spends most of the time asleep.”

“Otherwise, having Youbai transform into her true form, the White Dragon, and taking Husband to the Heavenly Cold Sect would have been quite impressive. There are no Dragons like that in the Northern Domain; our Youbai is truly one of a kind!”

Gu Changge just smiled upon hearing this. He didn’t need such a display to enhance his own image.

But the family’s arrangements were not something he needed to reject.

Mainly, it was just a hassle.

Three days were initially planned, and if it were just Senior Xue taking him, one day would have been enough to reach the Heavenly Cold Sect.

But with more preparations, it likely wouldn’t be that quick.

He wouldn’t want to miss his Wife’s Saintess Ceremony because of any delay.

Fortunately, he didn’t have to wait too long.

Soon, a message from the Family Head sounded in his ear, stating that everything was ready.

After saying goodbye to Wang Yue, and seeing that Youbai was still asleep, he didn’t disturb her and went straight to the outside of the Gu Family Mansion.

Outside the mansion, Gu Changge looked around, somewhat surprised.

His family had not prepared a Spirit Steed for him this time.

Instead, a small Flying Boat capable of carrying about twenty people.

In addition to that, there were two Fifth-grade Ruins Realm Demon Beasts with extraordinary presences, seemingly ready to clear the way for the Flying Boat.

As he stepped out of the Gu Family Mansion, more than ten people were already waiting there.
