Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 539: Requesting an audience with the Ancestor

Chapter 539: 539: Requesting an audience with the Ancestor

There were two granddaughters in the six generations of the Gu Family.

They had both married.

But because they didn’t want to be implicated by the Gu Family, their husbands’ families had sent these three women back to the Gu Mansion to hide for hundreds of years.

The two who had married already had children, and now that they were on Earth, they were finally able to send messages to their husbands and children, notifying them to meet at a designated place on Earth.

"Husband!" Gu Sisi saw her husband and immediately threw herself into an embrace.

Her sons were now hundreds of years old cultivators, and they had come with their wives and their own children to pay respects to Gu Sisi.

"Mother (Grandma)"

Watching her grandchildren call out to her, Gu Sisi embraced each child, tears streaming down her face like rain.

Her husband Meng Chuan’s eyes turned red with guilt as he said, "Wife, I’m sorry, I was useless!"

Originally, he had strongly opposed sending his wife back to her maternal home.

But due to the adamant stance of the family elders, Meng Chuan had no way to contradict them, nor did he have the power to protect his Gu-born wife.

"Mom, after you went back to your family, Dad had a falling out with the clan and has left home without possessions. Now, the Meng Family can’t control us anymore, but Dad has not been able to find you these past few hundreds of years."

Gu Sisi was stunned and then said sympathetically to her husband, "Brother Chuan, I’m sorry, the Gu Family did not allow any contact with the outside world."

Meng Chuan shook his head with a relaxed smile, "It doesn’t matter, Sisi. The fact that we’re both still alive and can be together is more important than anything."

Then the couple embraced again.

Gu Sisi’s son, Meng Qingshan, introduced his wife to her: "Mom, this is your daughter-in-law, Tang Ya."

"Mom." Although Meng Qingshan’s wife was already a mother of two, she still felt happy, nervous, and sweetly called out when she met her mother-in-law for the first time.

"You’ve been through much, child." Gu Sisi deeply appreciated the challenges of womanhood, so she felt moved and embraced her daughter-in-law.

Afterward, she turned to her husband and said, "Brother Chuan, it’s alright, we can’t go back to the Meng Family anymore. Here, in Shenzhen, our Ancestor Qingxue has already returned; no one can bully us anymore."

This time, Gu Sisi spoke with confidence: "This house was allocated to me by the Clan Leader. From now on, our Meng Family’s children can also inherit this place."

The house, although not large, was only about two hundred square meters.

But this was Shencheng; cultivators who understood the social structure of Earth all knew what a house of this size meant here.

At least Meng Qingshan and his wife were very pleased that their family could have such a house to live in.

Even though both of them had reached the Nascent Soul Stage, their children needed to transition on Earth.

Before this, where they lived had been ranked in the cities numbered in the three or four-hundreds, far from the nearest available Teleportation Array – you’d have to fly for a week.

Meng Chuan sentimentally said, "When can you take me to meet your parents? I owe them an apology for not fulfilling my duties as a husband."

Gu Sisi nodded, "My father is quite busy nowadays. He may need to enter seclusion and cultivate seriously. When he has time, I will take you to see him."

———

Meanwhile, among the seventh-generation women of the Gu Family, Gu Qingqing, unlike her aunt Gu Sisi, had not yet married but had already been engaged. However, after the Gu Family became deeply embroiled in strife, the man’s family unilaterally annulled the marriage!

This was not only an insult to the Gu Family but also an affront to Gu Qingqing.

For a woman, this was equivalent to having been married once already.

For hundreds of years, Gu Qingqing focused solely on making herself powerful. She was determined to no longer depend on a man, like Ancestor Qingxue.

Therefore, she knelt for a long time on the green slate arch bridge just outside the pavilion in the back courtyard of the Gu Mansion, where the Ancestor liked to spend his days.

She wanted to practice the Secret Techniques of her clan.

But such Secret Techniques, which were crucial to the family’s lifeline, were traditionally passed on to males and not females.

Unless you became a direct descendant like Ancestor Qingxue.

Otherwise, female members from side branches were not permitted to learn the inheritance-class Secret Techniques.

Her grandfather, Gu Zhantao of the fifth generation, dared not break the rules privately.

Not to mention that the Ancestor was still alive; he dared even less to transgress the rules of the ancient ancestors.

Thus, Gu Qingqing was out of options.

She could only bypass her grandfather and had thought about coming here to earnestly seek the Ancestor’s permission to study by herself.

"You silly girl, stop making a fuss!" Her father, Gu Shichang of the sixth generation ’Shi’ lineage, hurriedly came over to pull up Gu Qingqing and reprimanded her, "Go back at once, and be careful or your grandfather will flay you when he comes out of seclusion. The Ancestor Pavilion in the back courtyard is not allowed for female members to enter privately. Don’t be stubborn; the Ancestor isn’t someone you can just meet whenever you wish."

The fourth and fifth generations were starting to enter seclusion one after another to cultivate their own Secret Techniques.

Thus, Gu Zhantao was unaware of his granddaughter’s actions.

Gu Shichang could only forcefully drag his daughter away quickly; this place was forbidden territory for the Gu Family, and normally not even descendants of the Gu Family like him from the sixth generation were allowed to enter.

Let alone female family members.

The Ancestor Pavilion in the backyard was equivalent to an Ancestor Hall for the Gu Family, a very solemn and sacred place.

Even if the Ancestor was not present, descendants of the Gu Family would regularly come here to the Ancestor Pavilion to pay their respects and report the current development of the Gu Family to the Ancestor.

In fact, Gu Feng could hear it all.

Only if there was trouble would he appear and decide if he needed to take action.

Now that he had given the guild and the family members the Secret Techniques to cultivate and develop, he wouldn’t intervene too much in everyone’s development for the sake of balancing the whole ecosystem and sought a natural course. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

If he intervened too much in the development of all Cultivators, how could they evolve Taoist Skills different from his own?

To create a new God, one needed them to realize different meanings beyond his own.

It was on the foundation of their practices and cultivation, just like those who were bound and helpless to break through the 20th Layer Heaven to become emperor-sealing—those who had their breakthroughs by relying on their own different insights!

So Gu Feng, unless facing the crisis of clan extermination, would not intervene too much in the family’s own development.

Now, the only one he planned to personally guide was Jiang Ruolin.

He hadn’t treated Jiang Ruolin as just a chess piece in his game; his intent was to quickly promote her cultivation level, allowing her to regain her memories of her previous life, and thereafter return to the rightful place belonging to the Taoist Ancestor’s Wife.

Gu Qingqing tried to break free from her father’s grasp, which annoyed Gu Shichang, who was also looking out for his daughter’s well-being, and gave orders to the guards of the other Vassal Families stationed at the rear mountain, "Someone come, tie up Miss Qingqing and take her back to her room. Without my command, she is not to be released until the Clan Leader comes out of seclusion to decide on her punishment."

"Yes!"

The other family members who returned to Earth seamlessly took on the duties of guarding the Gu Family on a daily basis.

The two guards hurriedly stepped forward, intending to take hold of Gu Qingqing.

But at that moment, a deep, ancient voice like a constant echo arose from the Ancestor Pavilion, "Let her come here."

"Ancestor!"

Everyone present was startled, and the guards who had just been appointed a few days ago were also greatly shocked, hurriedly kneeling and bowing in the direction of the entrance to the back courtyard.

The voice of Gu Feng rang out again, "Come here, child."
