To put it nicely, she is lively and adorable, to put it bluntly, she is somewhat lacking in decorum.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think Nephew Gu, with such talent, will surely accomplish great things in Central State in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By then, the Gu Family of the Northern Domain will likely also expand into Central State.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the Dongfang Family could assist, it might save Nephew Gu a lot of effort and avoid many troubles.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, Nephew Gu, why not consider changing a person to marry?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As far as I know, you and that Ming Yue girl haven’t known each other for long, just a fleeting encounter in the Northern Domain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s not much of an inseparable attachment, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongfang Lin noticed that Gu Changge had already furrowed his brows and straightforwardly laid all his cards on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He directly revealed his thoughts and purpose!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Changge, with his brows furrowed, was somewhat puzzled by this sudden proposal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly to replace his Daoist Couple?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Daoist Fellow Jian Chen, do you think my words make sense?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that he didn’t reply, Dongfang Lin simply turned to Sage Jian Chen beside him and asked with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not for me to comment on the young master’s decision.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sage Jian Chen said expressionlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he did think there was some reason in what Dongfang Lin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was the current head of the Dongfang Family, with great authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the young master did have plans to move the Gu Family to Central State; if he married Dongfang Lin’s granddaughter, the help he would receive would naturally be much greater than marrying Dongfang Mingyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it would probably even reduce many troubles…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he knew, Dongfang Mingyue, that little girl, was not in a great position within the Dongfang Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was almost no chance for her to compete for power, but with the young master, it was hard to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Dongfang Mingyue had also received the news of his arrival at the Dongfang Family!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes suddenly lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems he hasn’t forgotten about me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After handling the matters of the Sword Sect, he came straight to propose!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongfang Mingyue murmured joyfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He was called to the Family Head’s mansion by the Family Head.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongfang Hongyi, as usual dressed in a red robe, saw her delighted expression and couldn’t help but speak up to remind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Family Head would be so kind as to help me discuss marriage?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongfang Mingyue was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You better go have a look.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t let anything go wrong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anyway, the Family Head definitely isn’t discussing your marriage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongfang Hongyi shook his head and reminded her again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He wouldn’t be planning…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To steal my intended, would he!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongfang Mingyue’s mind flashed with a figure, the Family Head’s granddaughter, about the same age as herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She incredulously opened her mouth; could the Family Head really be so shameless?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hard to say!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, she turned into a tunneling light and rushed straight to the Family Head’s mansion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally, upon arriving at the mansion, she was stopped by the Elder who had previously led the way for Gu Changge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Family Head is discussing matters with an esteemed guest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elder said expressionlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Esteemed guest?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s my intended!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Make way!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongfang Mingyue, still harboring doubt in her heart, became certain of her suspicions when she was stopped outside the mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her trying to force her way in, the Sage Elder simply waved a Spirit Barrier to block her outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Dongfang Mingyue was anxiously taking out the Communication Jade Token to directly contact Gu Changge, Dongfang Hongyi’s figure appeared beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick of his finger, he broke the Spirit Barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongfang Hongyi said nonchalantly, looking at the Elder of the Dongfang Family, also a sage, without wasting words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing he couldn’t stop her, the man simply frowned slightly, but could only watch as Dongfang Mingyue burst into the mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally, Dongfang Mingyue overheard that conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He actually really wants to steal my intended!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite feeling that there was a ninety percent chance, hearing it firsthand still made Dongfang Mingyue angrily itch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly thereafter, she heard Gu Changge’s voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I, although not consider myself exclusively devoted,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I have already promised Miss Ming Yue in advance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since Miss Ming Yue has not let me down, how could I fail her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, elder’s kind gesture is appreciated.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Ying is fine, but the timing isn’t right, so… sorry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please help convey a message for me, just say that I came especially to propose to Miss Ming Yue, I truly have no interest in anything else.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Changge sat in the courtyard, declaring firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, his Divine Sense had long since detected that familiar figure rushing over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corners of his mouth slightly curled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even if she had not come, Gu Changge’s answer would have still been the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t entirely for her ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s really hard on the Family Head, even having to consider who my intended should marry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongfang Mingyue’s figure had already come near, holding her Flying Sword wrapped in dark cloth strips without a scabbard, somewhat sarcastically looking at Dongfang Lin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But having said that, she then raised an eyebrow at Gu Changge, shooting him a look that said, “I wasn’t wrong about you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe, don’t put it that way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was merely providing Nephew Gu with an option.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How to choose is still up to him, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongfang Lin sipped his tea, then spoke in a somewhat stern tone: “But is that how you speak to me, with no respect for rank? Even until now, you haven’t paid respects to your Family Head?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1033,"2026-06-05T15:31:36.912Z",1,"novelbin.me","a2fdf6063b018074facb18c4aae3d7475a2259c91adc03a1cd964f4ff147160c","concubines-lead-to-strength-the-path-to-immortal-chapter-445","concubines-lead-to-strength-the-path-to-immortal-chapter-443",611,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fconcubines-lead-to-strength-the-path-to-immortal-cover.jpg"]
