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

"Sword Sect's Saint..."

"Please wait a moment, Saint Gu, I will notify immediately..."

Upon hearing this title, the Dongfang Family disciple guarding the door was also taken aback.

He respectfully saluted Gu Changge again, then turned to report back to the family!

"There's no need; the Family Head invites you."

"Saint Gu, please..."

However, before the young disciple could enter the clan, a True Monarch Realm Elder had already appeared at the gateway.

He lightly smiled and clasped his hands towards Gu Changge, making a gesture of invitation.

"Thank you."

Seeing this, Gu Changge did not think much and immediately followed the Dongfang Family's True Monarch past the gateway.

He casually observed the structure of the Dongfang Family.

In his heart, he thought it truly befitting of an ancient noble family with a heritage of tens of thousands of years.

Compared to the Gu Family, it was hardly a match...

Just at the gateway alone, he could sense the aura of more than a dozen Earth Rank Arrays and a Heavenly Rank Array enveloping the gate and walls.

Multiple arrays interlinked, even a True Monarch Realm cultivator, once the arrays were activated, would not break out in short order!

Along the way, even when encountering some people of the Dongfang Family, they just curiously glanced at Gu Changge and then slightly clasped their hands towards the two True Monarchs before stepping aside.

Gu Changge originally wanted to use the Communication Jade Token to inform Dongfang Ming Yue of his arrival.

But thinking he would see her soon, he eventually kept the Communication Jade Token.

Moments later, he and Jian Chen followed the Dongfang Family's True Monarch Realm Elder to the front of a mansion.

"What is this place?"

Gu Changge looked at the mansion in front with some confusion.

Considering today's marriage proposal, shouldn't they head towards the Council Hall to discuss?

"Saint Gu, please."

"The Family Head has been waiting for quite a while."

The Dongfang Family's True Monarch Realm Elder did not explain much, just smiled slightly, helped push the gate open, and made a welcoming gesture by stepping aside.

Seeing this, he didn't think much of it, slightly nodded, and walked directly into the mansion.

Upon entering, what met his eyes were artificial mountains and waters, quite pleasing, and it was evident that the garden had been meticulously tended to daily.

After walking a bit further, they came to the center of the courtyard where a person was sitting in front of a wooden table, eyes closed in meditation.

Feeling Gu Changge's gaze, that person slowly opened his eyes, stood up with a smile, and clasped his hands, "Dongfang Lin, the current Family Head of the Dongfang Family, greets the Saint."

Gu Changge did not expect to be met by the Dongfang Family Head here, but he clasped his hands and bowed in return, "This junior has seen the Dongfang Family Head."

"Hehe, Saint Gu is truly a gifted and talented person, the rumors were not false upon meeting today."

"Esteemed nephew, please have a seat and try this excellent Spiritual Tea from our Dongfang Family, see if it suits your taste."

Dongfang Lin was very courteous; being a True Monarch Realm and the Family Head, he was more prestigious than ordinary elders from the Sword Sect, and even speaking, he could match a True Monarch.

Despite this, he personally poured tea for Gu Changge, signaling him to sit.

Such an action made Gu Changge feel something was amiss, but he chose to see it as mere hospitality.

After taking a seat, sipping lightly from the tea,

"Good tea."

Gu Changge couldn't help but be impressed; it was indeed the finest Spiritual Tea he had ever tasted.

Refreshing upon entering, sweet and clear layers, and it even replenished Spiritual Energy, greatly benefiting cultivation.

The Spiritual Tea also emitted a faint Tao Rhythm, quite extraordinary and evidently invaluable!

"If the esteemed nephew likes it, I will send some back with you later."

Dongfang Lin chuckled and immediately waved for the True Monarch Realm Elder who had guided the way earlier to fetch some Spiritual Tea for Gu Changge to take with him.

"Having newly arrived at the Sword Sect, are you adapting well, esteemed nephew?"

"Our Dongfang Family has quite some influence in the Sword Sect, if you encounter any troubles, feel free to speak up."

Dongfang Lin, both directly and indirectly, was extending goodwill.

"Thank you for your concern, senior, but I haven't faced any troubles."

"Speaking of which, why isn't Miss Ming Yue here?"

Gu Changge, seeing he wasn't addressing the main issue, had to take the initiative to mention it.

Although the two had confirmed their Daoist Couple relationship, it wasn't officially formalized by proposing yet, so he couldn't address her as 'Wife' in front of this Dongfang Family Head.

"Ah..."

"That little girl is probably in seclusion."

"And speaking of which, I do have a granddaughter, around your age this year."

"In terms of talent and appearance, she is not much less than that little girl Ming Yue."

"Perhaps you, Saint Gu, might consider getting to know her?"

Dongfang Lin casually made up an excuse, then directly changed the subject, revealing his intentions.

During the conversation, a figure with light steps slowly entered the courtyard.

"Grandfather, here is the Spiritual Tea you wanted."

"The Elder was occupied, so I brought it over."

Dongfang Ying walked to the wooden table, gently placing a Jade Jar on the table, her gaze stealthily measuring Gu Changge.

"Haha, you've come at the right time."

"This here is the Heavenly Pride Son of the Sword Sect, recently stirring Sword Sect, Gu Changge, Saint Gu!"

"Now, don't be slow to pay your respects."

Dongfang Lin, observing Gu Changge's expression, laughed and greeted.

"The young lady has seen Saint Gu."

"That day at the Sword Sect, when Saint Gu crushed a hundred men in one step and defeated three Ninth Grade Saints in an instant, truly made this young lady hold much admiration."

"I never thought I'd have the chance to meet Saint Gu at home today..."

Dongfang Ying bowed slightly, her voice soft and pleasant.

Looking at Gu Changge, admiration filled her eyes unreservedly, but there was also a touch of a young girl's shyness.

"Uh..."

"That day's event, it's not worth mentioning..."

At this moment, Gu Changge had already sensed something was amiss.

He cast an inquiring look towards Sage Jian Chen beside him, but Jian Chen seemed somewhat bewildered as well.
