Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 215 - 166: Love Everything My Husband Sends, Exchange Elixirs for Tens of Thousands of Attribute Points!_2
"Lord Husband had an accident?"
"Was he bullied at the Heavenly Cold Sect?" Yuan Youbai reacted upon hearing this.
"You knew too?" Gu Kuang was somewhat surprised but seeing her worried expression, he softly explained, "There's no worry now, rest assured, the family has already sent two Elders to assist, and he should be back soon."
Reassured by the old master's words, Wang Yue finally felt at ease.
Yuan Youbai also put away her small tiger teeth, relieved that Lord Husband wasn't bullied.
"How do you look..."
Just as she got her answer and was about to leave, she frowned, somewhat puzzled, and looked at the old master.
"It's nothing, I'm quite well."
"Go back, and when the grandson comes back, come and visit our courtyard more often."
"Ah, I've always been in Duanbei City, hardly ever staying home; this time was quite satisfying."
Gu Kuang chuckled, waved his hand, and continued walking with Gu Qianjun.
Gu Qianjun, with a complex expression, gave a respectful bow to the two young ladies and then followed the old master to his courtyard.
When Wang Yue was returning, she just received a reply from Lord Husband.
[All is well, if the Imperial Family inquires, just answer truthfully.]
With a response from her husband, she and Yuan Youbai completely eased their minds.
Following her husband's instructions, she also relayed the message to the Imperial Family.
As for Gu Kuang, who returned to the courtyard, he sat in the pavilion.
He picked up the wine gourd at his waist, intending to take a large gulp to relieve some pent-up frustration.
However, after opening the stopper, he paused.
Now, he preferred not to use Spiritual Energy if unnecessary, as refining Spiritual Wine would require its activation.
Thinking it over, he set down the wine gourd.
He told Gu Qianjun, "Prepare a pot of tea."
Watching him place the freshly steeped tea on the stone table in front of him, he smiled again and said, "When I die, this courtyard will be left to you."
"They all have their own places in the Inner Court."
"You can still aid our grandson and, with this courtyard, you have every right to live within the Gu Family's Inner Court."
"Direct lineage or not, it doesn't matter."
Gu Qianjun was about to refuse, but after listening to the Second Elder's words, he could only silently nod.
"Go and cultivate."
"You should be close to breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm, right?"
"There's no need to keep accompanying an old fool soon to enter the grave. Focusing on enhancing your strength is what you should be doing."
"Go, go, go."
Gu Kuang, seeing that he wanted to say more, simply waved his hand with a look of disgust and shooed him away.
Watching him enter the Seclusion Room, Gu Kuang muttered somewhat helplessly, "It's a pity, I had hoped to see the grandson reach above Ninth Grade, even ascend to become a Human Immortal in my lifetime, but now, it's up to you guys to witness it for me."

[Heavenly Cold Sect]
Gu Changge put away the Communication Jade Token and muttered:
"The Northern Domain Royal Family..."
"In Duanbei City, the Royal Family hasn't suffered any significant damage, not even the Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm."
"Although it's not necessarily a collaboration between the Royal Family and the Saint Heir of the Immortal Ascension Sect."
"But… there must be some involvement."
Be it the incident just outside the Heavenly Cold Sect or what happened in Duanbei City.
The ones who suffered were always the Heavenly Cold Sect and the Gu Family!
Gu Changge suddenly had a strong suspicion in his heart.
The Royal Family might not have orchestrated this event, but they were certainly involved.
The Saint Heir of the Immortal Ascension Sect was after his wife's Root Bone, and the Royal Family probably took this chance to align themselves with the Holy Land of the Central State, while also weakening both families.
"It seems our Emperor of the Northern Domain is getting impatient."
Shaking his head, he suppressed these thoughts for the moment and started to focus on healing.
Two days passed in a blink.
His recovery was even faster than he had initially anticipated.
Originally, his physique was already as resilient as jade, far surpassing cultivators of the same realm.
With just one day, and the aid of Healing Pills, the injuries on his back had already healed by seventy percent.
After two days, not even a scar could be seen on his back.
As for the fatigue of his Divine Soul, it had vanished when he extinguished Li Si's Divine Soul within his Sea of Consciousness Space.
At his side, Liu Qingqing hadn't been too engrossed in her cultivation either, occasionally opening her eyes to check on her husband's condition.
"Huff—"
Gu Changge took a deep breath, removed his torn robe, and took out a set of underclothes and a black long coat from his Space Ring to change into.
Feeling her gaze, he turned to look and saw his wife covering her eyes with both hands, yet her peeking through her fingers was apparent.
"Haven't you seen it before?"
Gu Changge curled his lips into a smile, teasingly.
"Are Lord Husband's injuries all healed?"
Facing his wife's concern, he pretended to strip off the long coat to let his wife examine him.
But Liu Qingqing stopped him,
lest he try to do something...
Gu Changge chuckled, took the Healing Pills his wife had given him during his healing and returned them. She had given him a bottle at the beginning of his recovery, but he used only one.
Knowing that her husband wouldn't miss a few pills, Liu Qingqing didn't hesitate to take them back and placed them into her Storage Pouch with a pat.
Seeing this, Gu Changge suddenly slapped his forehead, remembering something.
With a thought, he took out an exquisitely made Space Ring from his System Space.
"Look, Wife, now that you're a Saintess,"
"How can you not have a Space Ring?"
"I didn't expect it to cause so much trouble; I forgot to give this to you."
Gu Changge spoke and without waiting for her to respond, he directly took her tender, delicate hand and, without any discussion, slid the Space Ring onto her slender finger.
