Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Marriage Day
June 20, suitable for marriage and weddings.
That day, early in the morning, the front gate of the Gu Family Mansion was already teeming with an endless stream of guests.
Various powers from Qingzhou had sent people to attend, presenting their congratulatory gifts.
If it had been the marriage of another direct lineage member of the Gu Family, there would have been no shortage of visitors, but the gifts would not have been so significant.
But Gu Changge was different, the only son left in this world by Gu Erjian, and he was marrying Liu Qingqing of the Heavenly Cold Sect from Wuzhou – a true luminary.
Especially since it was said that Gu Changge had now begun cultivating. Given his special identity, he was likely to hold no simple position within the Gu Family in the future!
In Qingzhou, the Gu Family was more feared than even the Heavenly Cold Sect or the Northern Domain Royal Family.
“The Song Family of Qingzhou presents a bottle of Dark Grade top-grade elixir!”
“The Li Family of Qingzhou presents a Dark Grade top-grade Flying Sword!”
“The Baiye City of Qingzhou presents…”
“The Three Alley Sect of Qingzhou presents…”
With each declaration of a gift, accompanied by endless congratulations, the guests proceeded into the Gu Family Mansion in an orderly manner under guidance.
“It’s quite strange when you think about it. This Young Master Gu, I had heard he lacked any talent for cultivation.”
“But now, I suddenly hear that he possesses quite favorable innate talent and has the strength of the Sky-controlling Realm, ranking him above average among the younger generation.”
“Indeed, Brother Song also had some inklings of this. Perhaps it’s not just one person, you know.”
“Or maybe these are intentionally false messages released by the Gu Family over the years, who can say?”
“After all, his father was that one who perished before, truly a pity…”
“Brother Song makes sense. Perhaps it’s related to that past event of perishment.”
“Today is a day of great celebration, we shouldn’t be discussing these matters. If someone overhears us and the Gu Family gets annoyed, it won’t be good…”

“Quite so, quite so. Brother, your reminder is well-taken.”
To most of these people, the name Gu Changge was relatively unfamiliar, but mention the young master of the Gu Family, and there’s no one who wouldn’t recognize it!
That man had made numerous contributions to the Gu Family, acquiring countless resources.
He had been recognized in Qingzhou as the leading figure of the younger generation.
Compared to Gu Changge, however, Liu Qingqing’s reputation resonated even louder in the Northern Domain.
Especially in Qingzhou, who didn’t know the Liu Family had brought forth a Heavenly Pride Girl seen only once in hundreds of years, now even contending for the position of the Heavenly Cold Sect Saintess!
Her cultivation had reached the Reach Profound Realm, unmatched by anyone of her age in the entire Qingzhou.
As for this generation of the Gu Family, the highest pinnacle reached was merely Qi Sea Realm Perfection, having yet to break through to the Reach Profound Realm.
And the younger ones, who had come with their elders, were quite envious.
Liu Qingqing was regarded as a goddess in the hearts of every young talent in Qingzhou!
Famed for her stunning beauty and unparalleled talent, who wouldn’t want to become a divine couple with her?
But the dream of Qingzhou’s younger generation had to shatter today…
Even if some were jealous, they had to consider the power of the Gu Family, which they could not afford to provoke!
…
Elsewhere, Gu Changge was rudely awakened from his cultivation early in the morning.
A whole crowd squeezed into his courtyard, arranging decorations, and some even took it upon themselves to dress him up.
Gu Changge, who knew next to nothing about the customs of marriage, could do nothing but let himself be handled and do whatever he was told.
As the appointed time drew near, accompanied by the announcement that the auspicious moment had arrived,
he finally emerged from the courtyard in a crimson wedding robe amidst a crowd of attendees. Waiting at the doorway was a third-grade Spirit Steed, towering and muscular, making even a Cultivator of the Sky-controlling Realm seem frail in comparison—a single stomp from it could likely crush someone into a meat patty!
However, this Spirit Steed had already been tamed by the Gu Family and would not harm people. It even understood human speech.
Following the Spirit Steed was an opulent palanquin, adorned with gilding and various jewels, clearly worth a fortune.
Since the marriage was taking place within the Gu Family estate, there wasn’t an excessively extravagant display.
Seeing Gu Changge staring blankly at the Spirit Steed, the onlookers thought he was overwhelmed by the creature’s imposing presence, and immediately a distant-related steward said with a smile, “Young Master, rest assured, this Spirit Steed will not harm anyone.”
Gu Changge said nothing more, simply nodded, then lightly tapped the ground with his toe and mounted the steed in one fluid motion!
Indeed, his temporary daze was not due to fear of the imposing Spirit Steed, but rather he was thinking… this Spirit Steed is a third-grade Demon Beast, equivalent to a Cultivator in the Qi Sea Realm. If it could be killed, it would be worth ten Attribute Points!
But since the Spirit Steed was not easily tamed, he naturally would not seriously consider doing so…
The groom rode the lofty steed in a grand procession towards the Heavenly Cold Sect’s branch residence.
Along the way, he was surrounded by many smiling faces from the Gu Family.
Although the ceremony was just a simple procession within the Gu Family’s inner court, it was by no means treated flippantly.
When he arrived at the residence of the Heavenly Cold Sect, the Sect’s disciples had already been waiting on both sides of the path.
At the front of the queue were the Heavenly Cold Sect’s Deacon and the two Elders of the Heavenly Gate Realm.
Now that the matter between the two had been settled, those who previously supported Liu Qingqing didn’t make any moves to put her in a difficult position.
Compared to the Gu Family’s people who were all smiles, however, they seemed less elated…
All in all, things went smoothly. Gu Changge was in good spirits and not bothered by these details. He nodded lightly towards them and directly entered the branch residence.
Before he stepped through the gate, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
The Little Princess herself was watching the excitement from not too far away!
Right now, he had no interest in dealing with that; first, he needed to complete the marriage rituals and then find a way to discuss the matter with Qingqing later.
In Liu Qingqing’s branch residence, now vacated except for her room,
stood two young children, a boy and a girl, each holding a small flower basket and standing by the door.
As soon as he approached the room, the two children started scattering flowers.
“Wife?”
Gu Changge stepped forward, chuckled, and ruffled the heads of the two youngsters before gently calling into the room.
After calling out once and receiving no response, he gently pushed open the door and entered.
Inside, Liu Qingqing was dressed in a bright red bridal gown, sitting quietly on the bed with her red veil covering her face.
Looking at the wife before him, Gu Changge silently reviewed the procedure once more, then approached and slowly crouched down.
Although Liu Qingqing had the red veil over her face, its sheer material allowed her to faintly see the figure before her.
As Gu Changge crouched slightly, she extended her fair and delicate arms around his neck from behind,
“Ready to go?” Gu Changge asked softly.
He could faintly hear the sweet affirmation from behind the veil, and then they left the room.
The two children outside were cheerfully exclaiming, “The bridegroom is carrying the bride to the palanquin!”
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Gu Changge ignored the softness at his back and perceived only the faint scent of fragrances.
He soon seated Liu Qingqing in the palanquin and then himself rode the Spirit Steed at the front, leading the way.
Amidst the bustling excitement, they proceeded towards the large square the Gu Family traditionally used for hosting grand banquets.
