Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 189 - 158: Life and Death Arena, Am I Angry? I’m Pretending? _2
Chapter 189: Chapter 158: Life and Death Arena, Am I Angry? I’m Pretending? _2
“Impossible.”
“Purely due to personal grievances, unrelated to Heavenly Cold Sect, Green Sun Sect, or even Gu Family.”
“Therefore, the arena must be established outside the Heavenly Cold Sect.”
“I, Saint Xu, certainly do not wish to cause conflicts among the three parties due to personal reasons.”
“The two junior sisters should understand, right?”
Xu Qing said righteously.
...
The two of them nodded slightly after listening. What he said indeed made sense.
If the arena were set in Heavenly Cold Sect and an accident befell Young Master Gu, who would be accountable?
Heavenly Cold Sect would definitely bear irrefutable responsibility, and Gu Family would certainly pose a challenge.
But if it were outside Heavenly Cold Sect, and Gu Changge willingly went there, then it would be his own choice, completely unconnected to Heavenly Cold Sect.
“Saint Xu is indeed thoughtful.”
“But, why involve the two of us for this matter?”
“Saint Xu could simply send a challenge directly to Young Master Gu.”
Zhu Qin asked casually with no change in her expression.
“I’m afraid he wouldn’t dare.”
“So I need the help of the two junior sisters.”
“To spread some words in Heavenly Cold Sect…”
Hearing this, Xu Qing smiled confidently.
“What?” Both asked curiously in unison.
“The two junior sisters just need to… like this…”
“You won’t need to do anything else; I shall teach the fellow from Gu Family a lesson!”
“Wouldn’t it be satisfying to help you vent your frustrations?”
Xu Qing’s words made them nod continuously.
Yayun agreed first, and seeing her stance, Zhu Qin could only nod in agreement to help.
“If that’s the case, I shall take my leave.”
“In a few days, after the news has spread, I will establish the arena outside the Heavenly Cold Sect on behalf of you two.”
It was his own plan and idea, yet he had managed to hoodwink both of them. Xu Qing felt he was simply a genius.
After Xu Qing left, Yayun couldn’t wait to depart as well.
“This time… there should be an interesting show to watch.”
“I wonder if this Saint Xu’s brain is as sturdy as a Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm Demon Beast.”
The cave dwelling was left with only Zhu Qin, her initially excited expression quickly turned cold.
She returned to the sect curious about how her points compared with Liu Qingqing’s, and coincidentally asked the Sixth Elder.
The Sixth Elder didn’t keep it from her; it wasn’t a secret anyway. Among the points was also a Sixth Grade Demon Beast Core.
To prevent her from thinking Liu Qingqing relied on the Gu Family’s elders’ help, the Sixth Elder additionally explained that the Sixth Grade core was claimed by Liu Qingqing’s husband, Young Master Gu, whether it was true or not was unknown.
But Zhu Qin, for some reason, instinctively believed the Sixth Elder’s words.
She always felt there was something extraordinary about Young Master Gu…
After a while, she took out her Communication Jade Token.
She transmitted Xu Qing’s plan directly to Gu Changge.
Initially, the Tao Rhythm exchange for leaving communication tokens was for the purpose of eliminating Yayun. Unexpectedly, they were used beforehand.
…
While cultivating in his room, Gu Changge felt a slight fluctuation of spiritual energy from the Communication Jade Token.
He immediately woke from his cultivation.
“Did the family send a message?”
His first thought was that someone from the Central State Great Power had come to seek Yuan Youbai.
However, as he read the content on the Communication Jade Token.
His brow furrowed.
It wasn’t trouble from the family’s side, but rather a problem on his own end appeared first.
[Green Sun Sect’s Saint Xu came seeking me and Yayun today, wishing to set up an arena challenge against you.]
[He wants us to spread rumors within the sect, claiming his deep love for Junior Sister Liu, and that by snatching her love and humiliating him publicly some days ago, a Life and Death Arena should be established. If you dare to accept, he’s willing to enter the Sealing Realm and claimed that due to your relationship with Junior Sister Liu, even if he wins, he will spare your life.]
Reading the lengthy message on the Communication Jade Token was indeed a surprise for him.
“Xu Qing…”
“Interesting, is he targeting me specifically?”
Gu Changge raised an eyebrow, his fingers played with the Communication Jade Token as he murmured to himself.
But he always felt something was off.
When Xu Qing met him, he hadn’t exhibited such behaviors.
Indeed, he had intended to humiliate him since his gaze had been uncomfortable.
Yet, he hadn’t said anything then and had even tried to befriend him later.
What had happened these past few days?
And his words about profound affection, promising to spare his life for Junior Sister Liu—that was utter nonsense.
Gu Changge didn’t believe a single word of it.
It was nothing more than a ploy to guide discussions among Heavenly Cold Sect’s many disciples.
“Confusing, but since he’s come knocking…”
“Kill him and be done with it, no need to overthink.”
Gu Changge shook his head, unable to understand Xu Qing’s reasoning.
But not understanding didn’t matter; eliminating the person raising questions would make the problem disappear.
It was already too late since he had come knocking voluntarily.
One shouldn’t keep nuisances around for the New Year.
Especially since this was in the Northern Domain, the territory of the Gu Family.
With no experts around Xu Qing, whereas he had Senior Xue, a Ninth Grade, on his side, there was no fear of any dirty tricks.
As long as the arena was fair and just, being in the Mid-Stage of the Ruins Realm, he had more than one method to instantly finish him off.
When he had thought things through, the Communication Jade Token emitted a faint glow again.
[Young Master Gu, how would you like me to proceed?]

It was still a message from Zhu Qin.
He simply replied calmly: [As he wishes, do as he says.]
