Chapter 176: Does Husband Despise Us? Ancestor Brings Back a Demon Beast!_2
"Even so, how could that control everyone's tongue?"
Most of the Gu Family disciples didn't take the family rule too seriously.
Instead, they tried to indirectly ask their elders and deacons about the earth-shattering events caused by the Young Master that had caused such a commotion!
Even after several instances of misinformation, the rumors had gotten even more outrageous.
From the initial Heavenly Rank Magical Treasures, it had gradually spread that the Young Master had obtained an Immortal Artifact!
Regarding this, Gu Zhan simply let it be, figuring that such unbelievable news wasn't worth worrying about...
"Hehe..."
"Old Blind Man hasn't much talent in this life, but these eyes of mine, they've never been wrong in judging people!"
"This is the Child of Luck, ah! A secret that a family lineage of thousands of years had never discovered was easily turned into an opportunity by the young master."
"Heavenly Rank Supreme Treasure, tsk tsk... Even I, Old Blind Man, only possess a Low Grade Heavenly Rank."
"When Senior Gu first spoke, he was too conservative. The young master breaking through to the Infinite Realm, it won't take ten or eight years."
"Considering this pace, it might even be less than a year."
At the foot of the Back Mountain, Old Blind Man used his cloudy, whitened eyes to gaze in the direction of the Gu Family Inner Court.
He had initially also planned to rush out, but thinking it over, with all the Great Powers of the Gu Family present, the young master wasn't likely to encounter any mishaps, so he simply settled down.
...
When Gu Changge returned to his separate courtyard, Wang Yue seemed to have been waiting for him.
Seeing him safe and sound, she immediately felt relieved.
"Husband, what caused such a commotion just now?"
"I heard people in the courtyard yelling that the Northern Domain Imperial Family was attacking the Gu Family..."
Wang Yue stepped forward to greet him, but before she could get close, her eyes widened, staring at the Small Tower in Lord Husband's hand, speechless.
"I was comprehending the Gu Family's Cultivation Technique and incidentally obtained this Magic Treasure," Gu Changge casually replied.
This response almost choked Wang Yue.
Wasn't that too casually put?
What does it mean to comprehend a Cultivation Technique and incidentally obtain a Magic Treasure?
That was a Heavenly Rank Magical Treasure, and though Wang Yue couldn't distinguish its specific grade, she could feel that it was even more extraordinary than her father's Low Grade Heavenly Rank Flying Sword!
While they talked, Gu Changge's thoughts moved, and the Small Tower was directly taken into his Qi Sea.
If nurtured over time, it could become his Lifebound Magical Treasure!
However, after the Small Tower entered the Qi Sea, he discovered it had fallen behind the golden figure, with the Twelve Grade Golden Lotus constantly emitting faint golden Tao Rhythm to nurture the tower.
Besides nurturing it with Spiritual Energy, though surprised by the additional functions of the Twelve Grade Golden Lotus, he didn't know what specific changes would occur.
But it certainly wasn't anything bad.
"Lord Husband's opportunity is truly enviable by others..."
"Even in my dreams while sleeping, I've never imagined such."
Wang Yue's eyelids twitched, unable to help but express her astonishment.
"I actually feel Wife's opportunity is even greater."
Gu Changge said with a light laugh as he looked at her.
"What do you mean by that?" Wang Yue blinked, a bit puzzled.
"To find such a good Daoist Couple, Wife's opportunity is indeed enviable."
Seeing her curious and somewhat puzzled look, he slowly continued.
"..."
"I actually cannot refute."
Wang Yue pulled at the corner of her mouth. She initially wanted to say that Lord Husband was really thick-skinned, but then fell that Lord Husband's words didn't seem to have any issues.
"No, wait!"
"Does that mean your Daoist Couples are not good?"
"Great... so Lord Husband always despised us."
"Oh, I need to share this heartbreaking news with sister, and tell Youbai when he wakes up too. I didn't expect the three of us to be regarded this way in Lord Husband's heart."
Suddenly, her eyes lit up with a retaliatory idea.
As she made a move to fetch the Communication Jade Token to snitch to Liu Qingqing.
"Threatening me?"
"I think Wife needs a good lesson."
Gu Changge raised an eyebrow and grabbed the Jade Token, directly attempting to sweep her off her feet and carry her into the room for a proper lesson!
The sudden action elicited a delicate yelp from Wang Yue.
However, she also seized the opportunity to wrap her arms around Lord Husband's neck.
"Cough, cough!"
Outside the courtyard gate, suddenly, two coughs were heard.
Gu Changge stiffened, then put Wang Yue down and opened the courtyard gate.
The old ancestor was standing outside quite normally.
Just now... he hadn't managed to activate the Isolation Array of the courtyard in time, so the ancestor had probably heard everything.
Fortunately, he didn't utter any improper words.
"These Elixirs replenish Spiritual Energy."
"And here are some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, which should be useful for you now."
The old ancestor handed over a Storage Pouch containing the Elixirs and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures as if nothing had happened.
"By the way..."
"Continue, I won't disturb you."
Having said that, the old ancestor disappeared in front of the gate.
Only leaving a somewhat embarrassed Gu Changge with a wry smile.
After the old man had left, Gu Kuang couldn't help but chuckle and stroked his beard: "Ah, to be young is wonderful. My grandson should strive to please us; give us a great-grandchild soon, and then I'll come back from Duanbei City to teach him well."
"Lord Husband, shall... we continue?"
Wang Yue approached and closed the courtyard gate, activating the Isolation Array with a delicate look at Lord Husband.
"Of course, we continue."
Gu Changge smiled, hooking up his lips and directly carrying his Wife into the room.
He hardly seemed like someone deficient in Spiritual Energy or vitality!
...
Half a month later.
Gu Changge looked at his panel; he wasn't far from making a breakthrough to the Late Stage of the Ruins Realm.
