Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 406 - 231 Youbai Wants to Play Too! _2
Chapter 406 -231 Youbai Wants to Play Too! _2
But from the way the young master usually behaved, obviously he wasn’t one of those people.
But modesty was for the young master to worry about, they still had to speak on his behalf when necessary!
How could the identity of the Sword Sect’s Saint be taken lightly?
“We’re all family here; there’s no need to stand around.”
“First, let’s arrange a place for everyone to stay. Once the Saintess ends her retreat in a few days, she will surely come to meet you at the first opportunity.”
“Two seniors, Saint Gu, please!”
Upon seeing this, the Sixth Elder also smiled and bowed, then made a gesture inviting them to proceed.
“Thank you.”
Gu Changge chuckled and nodded, then stepped off the flying boat.
Jian Chen and another followed closely by his side, while Old Blind Man trailed a bit further behind, almost as if he was not there.
But he was happy with this arrangement; he preferred not to stand out and liked to work quietly.
If the young master needed anything, he would certainly do his best to satisfy.
Soon, under the arrangements of the Sixth Elder, Gu Changge was accommodated in the largest guest hall of the Heavenly Cold Sect.
Jian Chen and the others stayed in a nearby hall.
As for Gu Haitang, since arriving at the Heavenly Cold Sect, she had disappeared without a trace.
Due to Gu Changge’s arrival, many disciples of the Heavenly Cold Sect passed by the grand hall from time to time, hoping to catch a glimpse of this top talent from the Northern Domain.
Even many female disciples of the Heavenly Cold Sect dressed up exquisitely, passing by the hall as many as eight hundred times a day!
All just to catch the eye of Saint Gu, even if they could not become his Daoist couple like the Saintess, even being a maid would do, as it would allow them to accompany him to the Holy Land in Central State!
…
Inside the Cold Pond Forbidden Land.
Gu Haitang silently entered deep within the arrays.
Yet, for a long time, she could not find her way out of the maze.
“It seems you still resent me…” Gu Haitang shook his head and sighed, then decided to look for Jian Chen and the others.
But before he could leave, a cold figure had somehow already appeared behind him.
The two of them locked eyes, silent for a long time.
Finally, the Purple Spirit Saintess was the first to speak, “Why have you grown so old?”
“Heh… It has been seven or eight hundred years since we last met; of course, I have aged.”
“But you, you still look as beautiful as you did back then…”
Gu Haitang smiled faintly, looking at that familiar face with a bit of wistfulness.
“Beautiful?”
“In your heart, still not half as good as her.”
The Purple Spirit Saintess’s expression turned icy, and she let out a self-mocking laugh.
“Ah…”
“How have you been all these years?”
Gu Haitang sighed bitterly, not daring to meet her gaze.
Since breaking through to the Sage Realm, they had only met once when he returned to the Northern Domain.
After that, they never saw each other again.
“Not good.”
The Purple Spirit Saintess’s tone was still cold, and as she looked at his guilty expression, she frowned even more.
Her position as the Saintess was taken over from her sister, Qingling.
Both were siblings and extremely talented.
Initially, Gu Haitang, who had the best talent of his generation in the Gu Family, was loved by both sisters. However, he loved only the elder sister, yet he ended up letting her down.
Even at her final moment, she had been thinking of him, yet he never returned from Central State.
“I had my difficulties back then…”
Gu Haitang knew she blamed him, but his attempts at defense faltered on his lips.
He had ultimately failed both of them.
“Just say it, what brings you here today.”
“If it weren’t for something, you wouldn’t have come looking for me.”
The Purple Spirit Saintess’s gaze was complex as she looked at him, wanting to hear his explanation, yet he was unwilling to say it.
She simply shifted the conversation instead.
“I plan to go to Central State…”
“The Gu Family has brought up a promising young man, giving me hope.”
“If anything happens to the Gu Family while I’m away, I would like to ask you to look after them a little…”
“There’s no need to do anything, just making an appearance would suffice.”
“If there’s any real danger, the Gu Family’s Back Mountain still has two old fellows, no need for you to intervene.”
Gu Haitang said this and then bowed to her.
In terms of their relationship, they were supposed to be brother-in-law and younger sister-in-law, but since Purple Spirit had always harbored special feelings towards him, he felt it inappropriate.
As for now…
Purple Spirit might harbor more resentment towards him.
Even so, Gu Haitang felt that asking her was the safest option.
“Why should I?”
The Purple Spirit Saintess almost laughed in anger after hearing his words.
Coming when he wanted, leaving when he pleased, and now suddenly expecting her to take care of the Gu Family with just a few words?
“Wait for me to break through to the True Monarch Realm, then I’ll take you to Central State.”
“With that kid back home, with your Realm, becoming a Holy Land Elder wouldn’t be a problem.”
Gu Haitang helplessly promised.
Honestly, asking for her help was being cautious; it wasn’t likely that the Gu Family would face any trouble, and probably there wouldn’t be a need for her intervention before he reached the True Monarch Realm. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
His real reason for coming wasn’t to ask for help but to gauge how much resentment she held against him and whether it could be resolved.
If she was willing, he would also take her to Central State. After all, her talent was even slightly better than his; if she could cultivate earnestly in Central State, reaching the True Monarch Realm might even be possible!
“Holy Land Elder?”
“I’m not interested.”
“Having learned from the Heavenly Cold Sect, I naturally have to take responsibility for it till the end.”
“Moreover, my sister lies in the Back Mountain of this Heavenly Cold Sect.”
“You can leave, but I cannot.”
“If there’s nothing else, do not disturb this Saintess’s meditation.”
The Purple Spirit Saintess said this and with a wave of her hand, using the power of the arrays, she expelled him from the Cold Pond Forbidden Land.
Standing outside the layers of arrays, Gu Haitang stood with his hands behind his back for a long time.
Eventually, he sighed, “If I were more like that lad, things wouldn’t have become this complicated.”
