Chapter 178: Chapter 154 BYD Saint Heir, Ninth Grade Followers!?_2

“Why has Young Master Gu not arrived yet?”

“Didn’t Junior Sister notify him?”

Updat𝓮d fr𝙤m ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com.

Coincidentally, or perhaps not, Zhu Qin’s seat was right beside hers.

Seeing her seated, she then clasped her hands together in both congratulations and curiosity as she asked.

“My husband should be arriving soon,” Liu Qingqing casually replied.

“I see.”

...

“Well, it makes sense. Junior Sister Liu is quite important in Young Master Gu’s heart; naturally, he wouldn’t miss such an event.”

Zhu Qin smiled, feeling somewhat envious inside.

She was the one most likely to become the Saintess, yet everything had changed because of Liu Qingqing’s husband.

Sadly, she was not so fortunate.

However, she was not someone who couldn’t accept reality and had made her choice.

A gaze that was a bit discomforting caused Liu Qingqing to frown and look over.

Sure enough, it was that annoying fellow staring at her.

Due to his special status, Xu Qing had been seated at the level of a Deacon and was now watching Liu Qingqing unabashedly. When she looked over, he even smiled and waved.

“Who is that?” Zhu Qin asked, somewhat confused.

“The Saint Heir of the Green Sun Sect, Xu Qing.”

Liu Qingqing withdrew her gaze and spoke casually.

“The Saint Heir of the Green Sun Sect…”

Seeing that Liu Qingqing closed her eyes to rest and was unwilling to speak further, Zhu Qin said no more.

She glanced at the Saint Heir and couldn’t help but think of Young Master Gu.

The way the Saint Heir looked at Junior Sister Liu seemed off. He probably had some intentions.

But Young Master Gu was no pushover.

She had a vague premonition that the Saint Heir might be in trouble, but if she was wrong, then it was nothing.

If the Saint Heir really harbored improper thoughts about Junior Sister Liu, with Young Master Gu’s temper, he probably wouldn’t be able to leave the Northern Domain…

Even though they had met only a handful of times, the impression Young Master Gu had made on her was indeed profound!

Brother Wang Yu was a living… well, a very dead example.

Soon, a fluctuation occurred at the main seat, and Wan Shan Taoist appeared silently upon it.

Numerous disciples and Deacons stood up to bow with clasped hands.

The Elders did not stand up, but they too gestured with clasped hands.

“Everyone is now present, so…”

Wan Shan Taoist nodded slightly and had just opened his mouth to speak.

Suddenly, he frowned and looked toward the Mountain Gate, closing his mouth.

The Gu Family had come too?

He hadn’t notified the Gu Family, but after glancing at his own Disciple, he guessed she must have told that young man from the Gu Family.

No matter, he waited quietly for a moment.

The Flying Boat and birds were left at the entrance of the Mountain Gate, and the Gu Family procession then made their appearance on the plaza.

Initially, Wan Shan Taoist showed no emotion, remaining utterly calm.

However, seeing the blind old man accompanying Gu Changge, his heart skipped a beat.

A Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm Great Power?

How had Young Master Gu come to be accompanied by a Ninth Grade Great Power?

And he was certain this was not a member of the Gu Family; he had not heard of any other Ninth Grade in the Northern Domain aside from Gu Wanquan.

Could it be a senior from the Gu Family returning from the Central State?

“Sorry, I’m not late, am I?” Gu Changge noticed his Wife as soon as he arrived.

It was hard not to; as soon as he arrived, his Wife stood up to look at him, and though she tried to control her expression, a faint smile was visible at the corner of her mouth.

Hearing her husband’s words, Liu Qingqing shook her head slightly.

Whenever her husband arrived, it was never too late.

After many days of absence, just seeing him was enough to make her content.

“I wasn’t aware Young Master Gu was coming; we hadn’t prepared a seat.”

“How about we make an additional arrangement amongst the Deacons?”

Wan Shan Taoist, seeing the couple exchanging glances, casually instructed a nearby Disciple to prepare a seat.

Xu Qing was also secretly sizing up Young Master Gu.

Hearing that he was to sit in the same level of Deacons like himself, he frowned slightly, feeling somewhat discontent.

Just a Reach Profound Realm, and he’s to sit on the same level as me?

But even more dissatisfied were the two Infinite Realm Deacons of the Gu Family.

Before Young Master Gu spoke, they frowned and interjected: “This is improper.”

“Our Young Master Gu’s position is equivalent to that of a Family Head, not to be seated amongst the Deacons.”

These words caused the Disciple who was originally going to arrange the seating to stop.

Even Wan Shan Taoist frowned slightly.

According to their argument, did they intend to have Gu Changge sit beside him?

He was just a greenhorn, and it wouldn’t make sense for him to sit with them, impossible.

“It was my oversight.”

“Well, let’s arrange a seat among the Elders for Young Master Gu.”

But now that the Gu Family and the Heavenly Cold Sect had grown closer due to Gu Changge and Liu Qingqing, he didn’t want to upset the current harmony.

He simply planned to compromise and began to speak again with a smile.

As he spoke, his gaze wasn’t on Gu Changge, nor was it on those two Infinite Realm Deacons from the Gu Family, instead, he kept his attention on the Old Blind Man who was following beside Gu Changge!

This unfamiliar Ninth Grade Great Power intrigued him the most.

But seeing him standing by Young Master Gu’s side, taking half a step back, he didn’t seem like an old predecessor from the Gu Family either.

“…”

Xu Qing felt displeased upon hearing Wan Shan Taoist suggesting that the young man sit among the Elders.

In terms of status, wasn’t he a Saint Heir himself, and how much could he be lacking compared to Young Master Gu?

In terms of Realm, he was even at the Mid-Stage of the Ruins Realm, so why should he sit below him?

“It is not appropriate, my Young Master…” those two Infinite Realm Deacons were quite stubborn and didn’t seem to have any intention of backing down on this matter.

However, Gu Changge raised his hand to stop them and smiled, “It’s fine. As a Young Master, I should follow local customs, and we don’t need a Deacon’s or an Elder’s seat.”

“I’ll just sit with my wife.”

Speaking of which, he winked at his wife with a chuckle.

“That’s good.” Wan Shan Taoist naturally had no reason to refuse and immediately agreed with a sigh of relief.

And since Young Master Gu had already said as much himself, those from the Gu Family couldn’t raise any objections.

The Deacons were also seated in suitable spots.

Gu Changge directly approached his wife under the watchful eyes of all.

The disciples of the Heavenly Cold Sect had planned to send over a set of tables and chairs, but he had no intention of using them, simply sitting down next to his wife.

Being watched by so many fellow disciples, Liu Qingqing couldn’t help but blush.

“Why so shy?”

“We’ve only been apart for a few days. If it were a year and a half, would my wife even recognize me?”

Seeing her reaction, Gu Changge naturally teased her.

Liu Qingqing’s face grew even hotter, but she merely rolled her eyes at him without retorting.

Seeing this, Wan Shan Taoist gestured for the disciples not to bother with the new furniture and just left it as it was.

But this scene, witnessed by Xu Qing, made him quite displeased.

As if something of his had been taken away.

Had it not been for this youngster suddenly appearing, he might have had a ninety percent chance of forming an alliance with Liu Qingqing through marriage!

Gu Changge, whose Divine Soul was far superior to others, glanced over at Xu Qing.

Making eye contact, the other party revealed a well-meaning smile.

“Who is that guy?”

Although the other party showed goodwill, Gu Changge felt his own instincts couldn’t be wrong, and he quietly asked his wife.

“Saint Heir of the Green Sun Sect,” Liu Qingqing casually answered.

At this moment, she was too lazy to care about that Saint Heir. It was enough that her husband had come.

“Raise and nurture a Saint Heir?”

“What a peculiar title.”

Gu Changge muttered softly, and while his voice wasn’t loud, who in the crowd wasn’t a cultivator who could hear his words?

“Pfft—”

“Raise and nurture a Saint Heir…”

Several of the Heavenly Cold Sect disciples couldn’t hold back their laughter and almost choked.

They wanted to laugh, but the occasion was unfit, and the other party’s status was not low, so they had to forcibly suppress it.

This Young Master Gu was truly unparalleled.

“…” Xu Qing, with his Mid-Stage Realm of the Ruins, heard everything crystal clear.

The well-meaning smile he had put on instantly stiffened.

His face even turned a shade of purple.

If it hadn’t been the Heavenly Cold Sect and he weren’t alone, he might have erupted right there!

What does ‘raise and nurture a Saint Heir’ even mean?

Is that how one should speak?

“Who might this be?”

Wan Shan Taoist’s mouth twitched, not expecting Young Master Gu to speak so wantonly.

He decided to switch the topic, looking toward the Old Blind Man who was standing at the edge of the square as if it was none of his business.

“I am merely the gentleman’s follower, Daoist Fellow needn’t bother with any special arrangements.”

The Old Blind Man chuckled, content to stand on the edge of the square and willingly be an invisible man.

His response, however, stunned Wan Shan Taoist!

A follower?

A Ninth Grade Realm follower!?
