What Kind of Nobody Dared Set His Sights on the Gu Family's Third Family Head?

After a month of travel!

Chen Yue, who had set out from Spirit City, had finally arrived in Skywater City as he had wished!

With only level thirty-one Soul Power, traveling on his own would have taken even longer. So, he had used Spirit Hall's token to have its people hire a carriage for him.

Even so, it had taken him a full month to barely reach Skywater City, at the northernmost edge of the Heaven Dou Empire. Default secondary setting.

Skywater City was close to the Frozen Forest in the north, and the climate was brutally cold. Chen Yue had nearly caught a cold the moment he arrived.

It took him quite a while to change into a set of locally made cold-weather clothes. After tidying up his appearance, he finally headed toward the Gu Family.

He was not some crooked-mouthed live-in son-in-law who dressed like a beggar just to show off and slap faces. Chen Yue did not think he had a masochistic streak.

Along the way, he had also gathered some information. The Gu Family was recruiting a live-in son-in-law, though the actual situation differed somewhat from what he had heard in Spirit City. Still, it was nothing more than some bullshit over fighting for the family inheritance.

"You want to take part in Third Elder's son-in-law selection?"

The man receiving Chen Yue was a middle-aged man in his thirties. Judging from the fluctuations of his Soul Power, he was clearly a Soul Emperor.

This man was Gu Wuji, the Gu Family's Logistics Elder. The Third Family Head he spoke of was Gu Qinghan, the vice dean of Heavenly Water Academy!

As for why Gu Qinghan, a woman, had become the Gu Family's Third Family Head... Chen Yue figured he would probably only learn that after successfully marrying into the family.

"That's right!"

Chen Yue nodded. "I heard the Gu Family offered excellent treatment for live-in sons-in-law, so I came to try my luck!"

Gu Wuji frowned deeply as he looked Chen Yue over from head to toe. He nodded slightly to himself. Even he had to admit that this kid was exceptionally handsome. He would indeed be quite suitable as a live-in son-in-law.

Of course!

He was not someone who only judged by appearances. Anyone wishing to participate in the Gu Family's son-in-law selection had to undergo a strict review.

"Name, place of origin, martial soul, Soul Power level?"

Chen Yue answered without hesitation, "Chen Yue, Zhonghua People, Endless Blade, level thirty-one..."

That was right. His martial soul was the Endless Blade from King of Glory. It had never appeared in Spirit Hall's records, but after Spirit Hall's appraisal, it had merely been classified as a mutation among ordinary weapon-type martial souls, specifically a blade-type martial soul.

Because Chen Yue's Innate Soul Power had truly been too low.

He had not received much attention.

Besides, he was merely a nominal Guard Captain. The guards under him were all at least Soul Sages, so there was no need for a Great Spirit Master/Soul Elder like him to act, not even once.

"Hold out your hand. I'll check your bone age!"

Very quickly, a look of disdain appeared on Gu Wuji's face. What the fuck was this trash? His bone age actually matched his Soul Power level?

"Let me see your soul ring configuration!"

Though he had already crossed Chen Yue off in his mind, the necessary procedures still had to be followed.

But Gu Wuji had already made up his mind. If even one of Chen Yue's soul rings was white, there would be no need to submit him for the second review. He could reject him directly on his own authority!

What kind of nobody dared set his sights on the Gu Family's Third Family Head?

But the next moment!

When Chen Yue released his soul rings!

Gu Wuji was completely dumbfounded!

He rubbed his eyes, seriously wondering if he had gone blind. Yet no matter how many times he rubbed them, the gleaming soul rings before him did not change!

"Purple, purple, black... How could this soul ring configuration be possible?"
