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

Chapter 366: Chapter 217: The Persistent Emperor of the Northern Domain, Arrives at Duanbei City!_2

“Oh?”

“How has my younger brother come?”

Wang Xing was slightly startled, then immediately raised his hand to open the hall door with spiritual energy, signaling him to come in.

“Brother!” Upon meeting, the Second Prince Wang Cheng respectfully performed a courtesy first.

“There is no need for such formality between brothers.”

“My younger brother hasn’t come to see me for a long time.”

“Is there something the matter today?”

The Crown Prince wore a kind smile and helped him up with both hands.

Hearing this, Wang Cheng had an expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. Seeing this, the Crown Prince simply activated the isolation array of his Eastern Palace, ensuring their voices could not be heard.

“Brother…”

“What are your thoughts on today’s matter?”

Wang Cheng finally relaxed and spoke in a low voice, still unable to refrain from timidly looking around as he spoke.

“What else can I think?”

“The little sister has married a good husband!”

Before knowing his intent, Wang Xing was careful with his words.

As the Crown Prince, his best act was to play the fool!

“Brother, why should we still hide things from each other?”

“If the little sister truly becomes the Empress of the Northern Domain, your position as Crown Prince will become meaningless.”

“It’s not like the little sister can ascend the throne while you continue being the Crown Prince, right?”

“Don’t you care at all?”

Wang Cheng frowned slightly.

Despite the fact that his brother often acted foolish, he had never thought of him as a fool—in fact, he was the shrewdest of all his siblings.

“If what you say is true, it seems I should indeed be a bit anxious.”

Wang Xing smiled slightly, still without any flaws in his demeanor.

“Tsk…”

“Well, since my brother does not wish to confide in me, let it be.”

“I take my leave.”

Seeing that the other party was always playing dumb, the Second Prince Wang Cheng did not stay further; He directly bowed and then turned away from the Eastern Palace.

On the way back, he couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.

“Brother really doesn’t show any cracks.”

“I had hoped to pry some useful information to give to little sister as a sign of good faith beforehand.”

“It seems it’s not going to happen.”

The atmosphere in the Imperial Palace was very odd today, and Wang Cheng quickened his pace unconsciously.

Now, everyone in the Northern Domain Royal Family harbored their own ulterior motives and schemes, yet no two had the same goal!

…

The flying boat wasn’t moving too quickly over the Northern Territory Imperial City.

Gu Changge took this chance to survey the situation of the Northern Territory Imperial City.

“Tsk, it doesn’t seem to be much better than our Gu Family’s main city.”

“Perhaps only the architecture is more luxurious, the items more novel.”

Gu Changge merely looked down upon the Imperial City from his lofty position and soon lost interest.

Wang Yue, who had grown up in the Imperial City since childhood, naturally did not want to linger in the city either.

Hearing her husband’s words, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle: “Lord Husband’s words are not entirely correct; in my view, this Imperial City is hardly a match for the city of the Gu family.”

“The influence in the Imperial City is complicated with the Imperial Family line, many old princes from the past, and even many Great Powers who joined the Royal Family as officials.”

“It’s not easy to manage.”

“Although it’s not common for bullies and public violence to happen.”

“But it’s far less reassuring than the disciplined environment of the Gu Family’s main city.”

“Apart from being more luxurious in architecture, there really is no advantage!”

“If the day comes when I take over the Northern Domain Royal Family, I will indeed borrow the rules from the Gu family city…”

What Wang Yue said was also true. The first time she went to the Gu Family’s main city, learning that the direct lineage of the Gu Family did not need to pay and that there were specially established offices for monthly billing, she found this rule very practical.

Just like in the Imperial City, many merchants encountered powerful and influential young masters who, even when they suffered losses, had to endure it.

“Having said that.”

“I’m quite looking forward to the day my wife takes charge of the Northern Domain Royal Family.”

Gu Changge smiled slightly, withdrawing his gaze from the Imperial City.

“Lord Sage, shall we head back or go elsewhere next?”

Sage Zhao, seeing that he was no longer interested in the scenery of the Imperial City, finally spoke up.

“Since we are already out, let’s go to Duanbei City,”

“Just to bid farewell to the old man.”

Gu Changge thought for a moment; he was now probably less than two months away from breaking through the Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm.

During this time, he could not afford to waste it.

He had to make good use of it!

At the very least, he needed to earn enough attribute points, as the situation with the Central State Sword Sect was still unclear, and obtaining attribute points might be difficult.

Running back to the Northern Domain to earn attribute points would be too troublesome.

However, likely, Central State also had places to hunt demon beasts; he had heard from Senior Xue about two dangerous places, such as the Endless Sea where Yuan Youbai’s mother had hidden.

The journey to Duanbei City, although far, was ultimately manageable as a Sage Realm sage personally controlled the flying boat.

It wouldn’t take long, at most two days to travel from the Imperial City to Duanbei City.

Gu Changge simply wasn’t in a hurry to cultivate, sitting on the flying boat, drinking tea brewed by his wife, the spiritual tea that Sage Zhao had brought from the Central State.

On normal days, he himself was reluctant to drink it, but now he was very generous in taking it out.

Sage Jian Chen noticed this and secretly made a note; it seemed that the young master enjoyed drinking tea, so when he returned to Central State, he had to figure out how to get some top-quality spiritual tea.

“Wife, rest a bit.”

Gu Changge took a sip of tea, somewhat helplessly speaking.

Since leaving the Imperial City, Wang Yue had been extremely attentive—making tea and massaging his shoulders and neck, truly not stopping for a moment.
