Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 143 - 132: Ninth Grade Thugs for Free, I’m Not Blind!_2

Chapter 143: Chapter 132: Ninth Grade Thugs for Free, I’m Not Blind!_2

Considering all this, wasn’t Gu Kuang also a man of great fortune?

It’s just a pity that his second son passed away so early.

“Forget it, Daoist Fellow, no need to bother.”

“He’s still a Ninth Grade Great Power, I’ll just call for Changge.”

Watching Old Blind Man getting restless and about to go look for Changge, Gu Kuang chuckled and stood up to speak.

Although he could directly transmit his voice to call out, Gu Kuang still decided to go find his eldest grandson and explain things in person.

...

There was no helping it, his eldest grandson was simply too impressive. He was no longer just his pride, but also the hope for the revival of the Gu Family!

“That’s good then, thank you for your trouble.”

The Old Blind Man slightly bowed his hands in response.

That was the most reasonable thing he’d heard all day.

Just now, those four young fools really drove him nuts.

Fortunately, he managed to explain things clearly.

When it came down to it, the Gu Family was willing.

…

Just as Gu Changge was about to leave his residence to try his luck, he was stopped by a familiar figure blocking his path.

“Grandfather.”

Facing the robust old man with gray hair and a benevolent smile, he casually bowed and greeted him with respect.

“Second Elder.” Gu Qianjun was much more formal, hurriedly bowing and paying his respects as he saw the Second Elder.

“Good child…”

“You’ve already broken through to the mid-stage of the Reach Profound Realm, truly astonishing.”

“If I hadn’t known about it beforehand, this old man would have been worried that your foundation might be unstable, leading to cultivation deviation.”

Gu Kuang couldn’t help but praise his eldest grandson with laughter.

He was more pleased with what he saw the more he looked!

“Just luck, merely luck,” said Gu Changge with a light chuckle and a shake of his head.

“What’s the point of being modest with this old man?”

“If I had even half of your talent when I was young, the Family Head would have been pouring wine for me!”

“Loosen up a bit.”

Gu Kuang deliberately frowned and pretended to be displeased.

“Alright, then when we get home, I’ll also have the Family Head pour wine.” Gu Changge replied with a light laugh.

“That’s more like it.”

“If that stubborn old Gu Zhan saw you now, and saw that you’ve reached the mid-stage of the Reach Profound Realm, he’d definitely be startled!”

“Making him pour wine would be letting him bask in your glory!”

Gu Kuang laughed heartily, his voice not hiding in the slightest, allowing those Gu Family disciples and deacons to listen in. They had gotten used to the Second Elder’s style and could only pretend not to hear.

However, they didn’t feel the aura of the Young Master’s cultivation realm.

Hearing the Second Elder’s words, they were also astonished to look at the Young Master.

He had reached the mid-stage of the Reach Profound Realm already?

If they remembered correctly, when the Young Master arrived in Duanbei City, he wasn’t even at the Reach Profound Realm yet!

It had only been two months, and no amount of potions could account for such rapid advancement!

“Ah…”

“Your third uncle, that damnable thing, is also a source of constant worry.”

“This old man gave him so much cultivation resources, and only in the past few days is he about to break through to the mid-stage of the Ruins Realm.”

Gu Kuang wasn’t in a hurry to mention the Old Blind Man’s matter; he hadn’t chatted with his eldest grandson in a while and suddenly had a heap of family matters to talk about.

“You gave your cultivation resources to third uncle?”

Gu Changge suddenly froze and frowned.

“Can’t help it, who asked him to be so unimpressive?” Gu Kuang waived it off, although he was cursing, his face was still smiling.

He was naturally happy about Gu Sanfeng’s breakthrough to the mid-stage of the Ruins Realm.

“But now you’re at the Perfection of the Heavenly Gate Realm, don’t you need more cultivation resources?”

“Speaking of which, didn’t you say before that the resources of Duanbei City could be used at my discretion?”

“Why don’t we make it so that whatever third uncle needs for cultivation in the future, he can just directly use my name to allocate them from the Gu Hall side of Duanbei City?”

“We can’t be holding back your cultivation.”

Gu Changge wasn’t truly bothered by his third uncle using up the resources—it was mainly because it was bad for the old man to do so.

But there was a solution, his status in the Gu Family now was not what it had been before.

Third uncle’s cultivation level wasn’t high, and he wouldn’t need too many resources; using his name to allocate would be unquestioned and unchallenged.

“There’s really no need for that…”

“Nevertheless, it is your kindness, this old man won’t be too prideful.”

“From now on, we’ll do as you suggest.”

Gu Kuang sighed as if he wanted to say something else, but in the end, he just smiled at his eldest grandson, full of approval.

“Grandfather, did you seek me out because you have something to tell me?”

Seeing this, Gu Changge didn’t dwell on the matter and casually asked.

The old man wasn’t usually very busy, but it was rare for him to seek him out personally.

“Indeed, there is something I want to discuss with you.”

“You know of that Ninth Grade Blind Daoist Fellow from the Central State Sword Sect, don’t you?”

Gu Kuang finally got to the matter at hand after hearing this.

Seeing his grandson nod, he continued, “You refused his offer to be your Guardian before.”

“Today, he sought me and the other Elders out, to ask us to put in a good word for him.”

Gu Changge responded with a bitter smile, “There’s really no need…”

“The old man hasn’t finished talking yet.”

“This time, he’s not looking to become your Guardian in exchange for any priority consideration from the Sword Sect.”

“Instead…”

“He plans to follow you around in the future, helping you out as an errand runner.”

“Though he claims following you is different from running errands, I think it’s all the same…”

Gu Kuang quickly explained to clear up the big misunderstanding his grandson had.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qianjun was utterly stunned.

A top-tier Annihilation Realm Great Power wanting to be an errand boy for the Young Master?

What about himself?

With a Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm at hand, would the Young Master still have any use for himself, a mere Fifth Grade lackey!?

What kind of situation was this?

Already an Annihilation Realm Great Power, instead of fulfilling his role, he’s competing with me for the same job!?

“Ah?”

Not just Gu Qianjun, even Gu Changge was surprised upon hearing this.

He had assumed that the old senior was simply trying to recruit him to the Sword Sect.

Last time he returned from the Demon Beast Forest, the elder had given him some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and he had also told him that if he ever went to Central State, he would give priority consideration to the Sword Sect.

He thought that once the elder achieved his goal, he would leave after some time.

Now what’s going on?

Insisting on following him?

Weird…

This is too weird…

There shouldn’t be anything in the Gu Family that would make a Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm willingly become a follower.

And himself… Surely he hadn’t revealed any value worth following, right?

At least the value he had shown hadn’t reached that level yet!

“Puzzled, huh?”

“I’m puzzled too!”

“Even the other Elders can’t figure it out.”

“So?”

“That Blind Daoist Fellow took out a few copper coins and told us to flip them, calling heads…”

“Saying something about being blessed with a great destiny…”

“In short, he said you are different, that you have a great destiny upon you.”

Gu Kuang stroked his stubble and casually explained to his grandson.

As he spoke, he deftly snipped off a twig and instantly shaped it with Spiritual Energy into a copper coin with a distinct heads and tails for his grandson to try flipping.

“Give it a try.”

He was curious about what made his grandson different.

Gu Changge, still thinking about the old blind man’s words about a person with a great destiny, instinctively took the object his grandfather handed him.

Thinking of heads, he casually tossed it.

The three of them looked down.

Tails…

“Is this right?” Gu Changge couldn’t help but murmur with the corner of his mouth twitching.

“Sss…”

“Anyway, if he likes to think that way, having a Ninth Grade lackey is perfect for you!”

“What do you think?”

Gu Kuang looked at the result, quickly wiped it into sawdust with a flick of his finger, fearing that the Old Blind Man might notice.

If he decided that the Young Master wasn’t a person of great destiny, wouldn’t he have let a Ninth Grade thug go for nothing?

“I think…”

“Of course, there’s no problem.”

He really didn’t need a Guardian, since he was safe enough in the Northern Domain.

But turning down a Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm thug would be idiotic!

And now, he was even more curious about why the Old Blind Man was so convinced that he was endowed with a great destiny.

If not counting these past few months, he hadn’t felt the slightest bit lucky in the previous eighteen years, on the contrary, he had been thoroughly unlucky, without even being able to cultivate.

It was only a few months ago that he had activated a cheat that allowed him to progress by leaps and bounds!

Was that also considered luck?

“Since you have no objections, that settles it.”

“Let’s go, the Blind Daoist Fellow is waiting in the Council Hall.”

Upon hearing his grandson’s answer, Gu Kuang chuckled.

As they walked, he chatted with his grandson about family matters, occasionally complaining about how useless his third uncle was.

When they returned to the Council Hall, and Gu Changge stepped in, the Old Blind Man instinctively stood up.

Nevertheless, his first words addressed Gu Kuang directly.

“I don’t bear the surname Blind! My name is Xue Zheng, from now on, just call me Daoist Fellow Xue…”
