Chapter 368 -218: Youbai Needs to Be Bolder, Prevent Him from Reaching Central State!
Gu Changge had only stayed in Duanbei City for two months before leaving.
But even after his departure, the grand hall remained reserved for him, with no Elder having visited it.
The two Elders from the Sword Sect and the Old Blind Man didn’t fuss about accommodation; any place would suffice.
However, they were ultimately eminent powers from the Central State and of the same realm as the ancestor.
The two Elders exchanged a glance and readily surrendered their grand hall. freēwēbnovel.com
In Duanbei City, aside from the courtyard, the Gu Hall had only three grand halls.
The hall of the Young Master was his alone, never to be relinquished at any time.
As for the other two, one was occupied by Gu Kuang.
The other grand hall, which housed both Elders, had plenty of rooms to spare, so it was entirely unaffected.
Now that the last hall was given up, the two Elders could only find a small courtyard for temporary residence.
“This is hardly appropriate,” said Sage Zhao, as he saw the two Gu Family Elders relinquish their grand hall and gestured to decline.
“What is inappropriate?”
“Shouldn’t the two seniors be responsible for the safety of the Young Master? This grand hall is closer; if an accident should occur, the seniors would be able to respond promptly, wouldn’t they?”
But the Gu Family Elders were quite adamant about letting them stay, insisting that everything was for the sake of the Young Master.
Seeing this, Jian Chen and the other two stopped voicing objections, expressed their gratitude, and settled in the grand hall next to the Young Master.
Although what the two Gu Family Elders said was true, they were above Ninth Grade in the Sage Realm, and their Divine Sense could easily envelop the entire Duanbei City. They could swiftly ensure the Young Master’s safety wherever they resided.
However, there was no need to reject the kind offer.
Meanwhile, as soon as they entered the grand hall,
Wang Yue immediately activated the Isolation Array.
Then she turned to Yuan Youbai with a squint and suggested, “Little Bai seems a bit sleepy, don’t you? Why not take a nap?”
“I don’t think I’m tired…” Yuan Youbai craned her neck in confusion.
“If you don’t behave, you won’t be taken out next time!” Wang Yue threatened, feigning severity upon seeing her reaction.
“Then… I guess I’ll be tired,”
Yuan Youbai shrank her neck and pouted, resigning herself to enter the room she had stayed in before.
Once inside the room, she couldn’t resist pressing her ear against the door.
Mumbling to herself, she grumbled, “I’m not a child… It’s obviously because Sister Princess wants to play alone with Lord Jun and doesn’t want to bring me along!”
With her realm advancement and the growth in her Root Bone Comprehension, her Spirit Intelligence was already far beyond that of a child when she first met Lord Jun.
If she were to reckon, her mental acuity was at least that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old from the Human Clan.
It’s just that she hadn’t been exposed to many things…
But from daily interactions, she had pieced things together!
After Yuan Youbai retired to her room, Wang Yue immediately stretched out her ‘devilish claws’ towards Lord Jun.
Lord Jun didn’t break his promise, and she intended to serve Lord Jun well!
This time, she would pull out all the stops!
Gu Changge smiled slightly, immediately embracing her by the waist and taking her into the room, activating the Isolation Array.
Once the two of them were inside their room, Yuan Youbai’s ears twitched.
But she couldn’t hear the slightest noise.
Helplessly, she lay on the bed, tossing and turning.
“I want to play alone with Lord Jun too… Wah!”
Just by smelling Lord Jun’s scent, Yuan Youbai found comfort.
To dwell under the same roof as Lord Jun, like Sister Saintess and Sister Princess, would be wonderful!
The mere thought made her ears flush with embarrassment.
“No, Yuan Youbai, you must be braver!”
“If Sister Saintess and Sister Princess can, so can you!”
“Yes, you definitely can!”
Yuan Youbai encouraged herself with a couple of small, vigorous fist pumps.
Plans began to form in her mind as she vowed not to fall behind.
She, too, wanted to play alone with Lord Jun!

[Central State·Immortal Ascension Sect]
Atop the Ninth Saint Son Peak, Wu Jiang Saint Heir gazed at the Communication Jade Token in his hand and fell into deep thought.
“Northern Domain’s Wang Family…”
“They want to make a move on Young Master Gu?”
“But even I, this moment, feel powerless despite willing…”
Wu Jiang Saint Heir sighed heavily.
He could even foresee, once that youngster arrived in Central State, the inevitable day he would seek revenge for bygones.
But frustratingly, there was nothing he could do now.
He had recently lost all interest in managing anything concerning the True Dragon.
If he let him come to Central State and grow strong, his own end would undoubtedly be miserable.
Although the Northern Domain’s Wang Family was at odds with the Gu Family,
seeking help against the Gu kid was one thing, but what could Wu Jiang do?
Now the Wu Family was unable to assist him further, at best could provide him with a Ninth Grade Elder, yet a Sage Realm protector guarded the Gu kid.
One Ninth Grade Elder was simply inadequate, likely to be suppressed before even getting close.
As he was troubled, a figure suddenly appeared on his Saint Peak.
“I wonder what brings Elder Li here?”
Seeing his visitor, Wu Jiang Saint Heir put away the Communication Jade Token, reverting to his usual composed demeanor, and inquired.
This Elder Li, a favored figure of the fifth Saint Heir of the Immortal Ascension Sect, had reached the Perfection of the Sage Realm; his power was formidable!
Compared to that, his own Ninth Saint Son Peak’s foundation was too weak.
After all, as the Ninth Saint Son Peak was always at risk of being challenged and losing the position, most Holy Land Elders were hesitant to commit to this peak.
Who would choose to follow a Saint Son at risk of being replaced at any moment if they could opt for a higher-ranking Saint Son?
“Please, Wu Jiang Saint Heir, visit the Fifth Peak to talk.”
“Would you happen to be free at this time?”
Sage Li smiled amiably with a bow, casually speaking.
