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

Wang Yue also looked at Lord Jun in surprise.

She hadn't expected Lord Jun to admit to everything so directly...

Even Elder Gu Liang paused in his steps.

Hidden in his sleeve, his palm involuntarily gathered Spiritual Energy, ready to silence the Second Prince at Young Master's command.

"Ha... Hahaha!"

"I didn't expect my brother-in-law to be someone who enjoys joking."

"Well, that's good. It seems Little Sister won't find it boring in the Gu Family."

Wang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily once he understood.

Even though Changge had admitted it, he dared not do anything.

In fact, just from this brief meeting, his initial judgment of Changge had already changed!

He had thought Changge was a hidden talent, but now it seemed this person was not simple...

His mention of Wang Yu was just to show goodwill.

But not only did the other party not accept his goodwill, but he also made it clear that he didn't need it.

"Hehe..."

Changge smiled, offered no explanation, and continued walking towards the Council Hall.

Seeing this, Elder Gu Liang dissipated the Spiritual Energy in his palm and followed silently.

Even Gu Qianjun, who was following behind, let out a sigh of relief.

Only after escorting the Young Master to the Council Hall did he excuse himself to go inform the Second Elder about what the Young Master had said earlier.

Upon entering the Council Hall,

Wang Cheng bowed to Gu Zhan, who was sitting in the Gu Family Head's seat: "Junior pays respects to the Gu Family Head."

"And to all the esteemed Gu Family elders," he added, turning to the other Elders.

His manners were impeccable, leaving no room for criticism.

Having experienced the death of the Fifth Prince at the Gu Family's hand, Wang Cheng was a bit scared.

The Gu Family did not care about the life and death of a prince.

"Provide a seat for His Highness the Second Prince."

Gu Zhan nodded slightly and gestured to a Deacon to arrange seating.

Two seats were brought out and arranged alongside the Elders' seats.

Wang Cheng, unreservedly, walked over to his chair and sat down, glancing at Changge, thinking the other seat was prepared for his brother-in-law.

It seemed the Gu Family... didn't quite take Little Sister seriously.

Not even intending to offer her a seat?

"Young Master, don't just stand there..."

"Hurry and sit down, I'll brew you a pot of tea. Hehe, this is the new tea just offered from Tiannan City. Try it and see if it suits your taste. If it does, I will send someone to deliver it to Young Master Palace later."

Elder Gu Liang quickly spoke, urging Changge to sit, and started brewing the tea himself, not letting the Deacons interfere.

Changge, upon hearing this, directly went to the seat next to the Family Head.

Gu Zhan had previously altered the main seat somewhat, though many Elders were reluctant, but Changge felt this was already quite acceptable.

He couldn't let himself, a Young Master, sit above the Family Head...

That would be like crapping on the Family Head's neck!

Although the Elders said, if it happened, it happened, he still felt it inappropriate.

"Uh..."

"What is this?"

Wang Cheng was somewhat confused by this scene, having thought the seat beside him was for his brother-in-law Changge.

Yet, the other party had directly sat at a position equal to the Family Head.

As for his own side, Little Sister had already gracefully walked over and sat down.

"Second Brother needn't be too surprised."

"Lord Jun's status... is different."

Wang Yue couldn't help but speak up after seeing his surprised expression.

"Indeed different..." Wang Cheng muttered.

Such a scene would be unthinkable in their Northern Domain Royal Family.

The Gu Family Head is equivalent to his own father, the Emperor.

Not to mention daring to sit alongside his father, even the Crown Prince wouldn't dare.

And an Elder personally brewing tea for him?

Soon, Gu Liang had prepared the tea.

After pouring two cups, he smiled and handed one to Changge.

"Thank you, Elder." Changge graciously accepted it, lightly sniffed the fragrant tea. Although he didn't understand tea, he could still appreciate its refreshing fragrance.

As Elder Gu Liang picked up the other cup,

Gu Zhan instinctively raised his hand, ready to take it.

However, Elder Gu Liang simply picked up the teacup, walked past him, sat in his own seat, gently blew on the tea a few times, and then started drinking it himself.

"..."

Gu Zhan's extended hand froze mid-air, and he could only unconsciously retract it.

This scene made Wang Cheng's eyelids twitch.

What exactly was going on with the Gu Family?

Did the Young Master hold a higher position than the Family Head?

And the Elder seemed to care only about the Young Master, ignoring the Family Head?

"Uh..."

Seeing the Family Head Grandfather's face turning somewhat dark, Changge set down his own teacup and personally poured him one.

Respectfully offering it with both hands: "Grandfather, please have some tea."

"Mmm." Gu Zhan's expression relaxed instantly.

He gave the Young Master a deep look.

He thought to himself that these Elders were no match for the Young Master!

"Hehe, this time, Junior has come only to visit relatives."

"Father Emperor has entrusted me to bring a few items for the Gu Family Head to review."

Although Wang Cheng found it peculiar, seeing this scene, he felt somewhat reassured.

He then took out a simple Space Ring, containing numerous Elixirs and Spirit Stones, all gestures of goodwill from the Northern Domain Royal Family.

Obviously, given the incident in Duanbei City, the Northern Domain Royal Family was also concerned about affecting their relationship with the Gu Family.

As for the Heavenly Cold Sect...

It was even more troublesome, as the Crown Prince personally came.

They needed to mend and ease relations, after all, during the last incident, their Northern Domain Royal Family stood by while the Heavenly Cold Sect lost a Ninth Grade, and the Gu Family almost lost an Eighth Grade.

However, the Gu Family turned disaster into fortune, as Gu Kuang emerged from a desperate situation and became a Ninth Grade!

Seeing this, a Deacon took the Space Ring, planning to present it.
