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

Following the young master to propose marriage, how come I still haven't seen the agreed-upon Dongfang Mingyue, but instead, the Dongfang Family Head arranged for his own granddaughter to come?

By chance?

How could it be such a coincidence, clearly everything was prepared!

"Nephew Gu, what do you think of Ying'er?"

"Ming Yue, that little girl, is vivacious. To put it nicely, she is lively and adorable, to put it bluntly, she is somewhat lacking in decorum."

"I think Nephew Gu, with such talent, will surely accomplish great things in Central State in the future."

"By then, the Gu Family of the Northern Domain will likely also expand into Central State."

"If the Dongfang Family could assist, it might save Nephew Gu a lot of effort and avoid many troubles."

"So, Nephew Gu, why not consider changing a person to marry?"

"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."

"There's not much of an inseparable attachment, right?"

Dongfang Lin noticed that Gu Changge had already furrowed his brows and straightforwardly laid all his cards on the table.

He directly revealed his thoughts and purpose!

"This..."

Gu Changge, with his brows furrowed, was somewhat puzzled by this sudden proposal.

Suddenly to replace his Daoist Couple?

"Daoist Fellow Jian Chen, do you think my words make sense?"

Seeing that he didn't reply, Dongfang Lin simply turned to Sage Jian Chen beside him and asked with a grin.

"It's not for me to comment on the young master's decision."

Sage Jian Chen said expressionlessly.

However, he did think there was some reason in what Dongfang Lin said.

After all, he was the current head of the Dongfang Family, with great authority.

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.

And it would probably even reduce many troubles...

As he knew, Dongfang Mingyue, that little girl, was not in a great position within the Dongfang Family.

There was almost no chance for her to compete for power, but with the young master, it was hard to say.

...

Meanwhile, Dongfang Mingyue had also received the news of his arrival at the Dongfang Family!

Her eyes suddenly lit up.

"It seems he hasn't forgotten about me!"

"After handling the matters of the Sword Sect, he came straight to propose!"

Dongfang Mingyue murmured joyfully.

"He was called to the Family Head's mansion by the Family Head."

Dongfang Hongyi, as usual dressed in a red robe, saw her delighted expression and couldn't help but speak up to remind her.

"Ah?"

"The Family Head would be so kind as to help me discuss marriage?"

Dongfang Mingyue was startled.

"You better go have a look."

"Don't let anything go wrong."

"Anyway, the Family Head definitely isn't discussing your marriage."

Dongfang Hongyi shook his head and reminded her again.

"He wouldn't be planning..."

"To steal my intended, would he!?"

Dongfang Mingyue's mind flashed with a figure, the Family Head's granddaughter, about the same age as herself.

She incredulously opened her mouth; could the Family Head really be so shameless?

Hard to say!

So, she turned into a tunneling light and rushed straight to the Family Head's mansion!

Coincidentally, upon arriving at the mansion, she was stopped by the Elder who had previously led the way for Gu Changge.

"The Family Head is discussing matters with an esteemed guest."

The Elder said expressionlessly.

"Esteemed guest?"

"That's my intended!"

"Make way!"

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to!"

Dongfang Mingyue, still harboring doubt in her heart, became certain of her suspicions when she was stopped outside the mansion.

Seeing her trying to force her way in, the Sage Elder simply waved a Spirit Barrier to block her outside.

Just as Dongfang Mingyue was anxiously taking out the Communication Jade Token to directly contact Gu Changge, Dongfang Hongyi's figure appeared beside her.

With a flick of his finger, he broke the Spirit Barrier.

"Go on."

Dongfang Hongyi said nonchalantly, looking at the Elder of the Dongfang Family, also a sage, without wasting words.

Seeing he couldn't stop her, the man simply frowned slightly, but could only watch as Dongfang Mingyue burst into the mansion.

Coincidentally, Dongfang Mingyue overheard that conversation.

"He actually really wants to steal my intended!?"

Despite feeling that there was a ninety percent chance, hearing it firsthand still made Dongfang Mingyue angrily itch.

Shortly thereafter, she heard Gu Changge's voice:

"I, although not consider myself exclusively devoted,"

"But I have already promised Miss Ming Yue in advance."

"Since Miss Ming Yue has not let me down, how could I fail her?"

"So, elder's kind gesture is appreciated."

"Miss Ying is fine, but the timing isn't right, so... sorry."

"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."

Gu Changge sat in the courtyard, declaring firmly.

At the same time, his Divine Sense had long since detected that familiar figure rushing over.

The corners of his mouth slightly curled.

But even if she had not come, Gu Changge's answer would have still been the same.

It wasn't entirely for her ears.

"It's really hard on the Family Head, even having to consider who my intended should marry."

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.

But having said that, she then raised an eyebrow at Gu Changge, shooting him a look that said, "I wasn't wrong about you!"

"Hehe, don't put it that way."

"I was merely providing Nephew Gu with an option."

"How to choose is still up to him, right?"

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?"
