Big Misunderstanding!_2\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh heh… I’m fine now, and after a while, I plan to take over Duanbei City.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ll come with me to Duanbei City for some good practice then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he muttered quietly, how could it escape the ears of those present? Gu Kuang immediately frowned, then again put on a sinister smile and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah?” Gu Sanfeng was stunned for a moment, not expecting a casual remark to backfire on himself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the old man didn’t give him a chance to explain further; he slammed the table, indicating that going was non-negotiable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally back in the Gu Family, and now he had to travel to that godforsaken Duanbei City, Gu Sanfeng felt like an eggplant hit by frost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you really after?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now that I’ve finally broken through to the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm, isn’t it fine to just stay with the family?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why do you have to go to Duanbei City?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Sanfeng knew pleading was useless, and he could only try to persuade the old man in another way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t know ****, I definitely have to go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Gu Kuang’s trip to Duanbei City this time was for his eldest grandson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the last incident on the Back Mountain, he also became aware of his eldest grandson’s capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fewer people who knew about this, the better; after all, the Ancestor still had to guard the Gu Family. It wouldn’t be appropriate to run to Duanbei City every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Gu Wanquan, there was no need to let him know; it was better to send him to Central State earlier to scout the way for his eldest grandson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he was in Duanbei City, he could also seize the chance to capture some Demon Beasts for his grandson, leaving them with a breath of life. Then when his grandson went to Duanbei City, he could finish them off at any time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, as long as you, old man, are happy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry about my life and death, it’s no big deal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his stubborn attitude, Gu Sanfeng knew that whatever he said was futile and simply gave in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qian Jun hasn’t come out of seclusion?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Changge glanced at the seclusion room in the courtyard and asked casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He should be coming out soon; he got some Elixirs from the family, so breaking through to the Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm shouldn’t be a problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man stroked his beard, laughing cheerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Sanfeng looked on with helpless resignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time the old man spoke to him, it was either with a stern face or reprimanding, but when he looked at that brat, his face was full of smiles, like a benevolent grandfather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such double standards! Just too much!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, the speed of the face-changing was just too quick!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One second he’s frowning at me, and the next, he’s all smiles?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, eldest grandson, you have no idea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Recently, it’s been tough on us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those people, as soon as they see us, always flatter us, saying how powerful we are, how we’ve survived against all odds and broken through to the Ninth Grade.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And yet, we cannot even disclose the reason. It’s so frustrating!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In a few days, I plan to set off for Duanbei City. Staying in the family makes me feel like I’m going to idle into a bird!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man couldn’t help but share the recent events with his eldest grandson, who he was more and more pleased with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to those Elders and Deacons trying to ingratiate themselves, he’d rather have others know that his eldest grandson is the one with the real heaven-defying talent that could turn the tides!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But… he really can’t disclose it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost suffocating him; several times he nearly blurted it out but had to forcefully swallow the words back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of those Gu Family Elders suspected it had something to do with Changge, but they didn’t know the specific reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition to flattery, they were mostly driven by curiosity in their attempts to glean how he broke through to the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what was the deal with his current Acquired Spirit Body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Gu Family Elders, mostly Eighth Grade Annihilation Realm, mostly saw the Ninth Grade as an unattainable dream, limited by their Root Bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as their Lifespan approached its end, they would likely be stuck at the threshold of Perfection, unable to progress further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, they were immensely curious about Gu Kuang’s secret to breaking through to the Ninth Grade!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sooner or later they’ll find out, but for now, I’ll just have to trouble Grandpa to keep covering for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Changge replied with a light laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he had relayed that excuse to the Ancestor, he had been ready to lead the entire Gu Family to greater strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that some more time was needed; if it could be concealed, then so be it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gu Zhan even made a special trip to see me, saying that such news concerning the future of the family should not be hidden.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh… could I indulge him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now I’m Ninth Grade, not even an Elder anymore!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man grew more animated as he spoke, especially when talking about Gu Zhan, his emotions soared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did you respond to the Family Head?” Gu Changge asked casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What else could I say? I told him straight up if he dared to pressure my eldest grandson to disclose the reason under the guise of family interests, I would slap him to death first. Anyone with excessive curiosity should think carefully if their curiosity can withstand my slap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Or, if he doesn’t accept it, he can go to the Back Mountain to ask the Ancestor himself, heh heh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Kuang was enthusiastic, gesturing with his hands as he spoke, looking extremely spirited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, when it came to arguing with Gu Zhan, he could never win, but now it was different – he had broken through to Ninth Grade!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could just let his fists do the talking!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Changge also gave a hearty thumbs-up, praising the old man’s dominance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This flattery made the old man even happier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced disdainfully at those two disappointing fools, wanting to say something but ultimately just ‘tsked’ with contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old man, that’s a bit too much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At least you used to say something, what’s this all about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Sanfeng’s eyes widened, almost choking on his own breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could it get even more blatant? Now he’s even too lazy to talk to me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Too much?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What realm are you in now? Middle stage of the Void Refining Realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In less than a year, you’ll probably be overtaken by my eldest grandson.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1135,"2026-06-05T15:31:36.912Z",1,"novelbin.me","2a178a41c8029daa6f32f60556bc763e70f0629ed14f901a1c4c6b7db2396918","concubines-lead-to-strength-the-path-to-immortal-chapter-240","concubines-lead-to-strength-the-path-to-immortal-chapter-238",611,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fconcubines-lead-to-strength-the-path-to-immortal-cover.jpg"]
