A Great Saint Realm Grandfather, a Gu Family Daughter as a Concubine!

In three days, nearly everyone in the Imperial Capital had learned of Qin Luo, the Ninth Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty.

The Great Qin Dynasty was forced to make an official announcement, claiming that its Ninth Prince had been lost outside due to an accident.

All benefits and privileges due to a prince were immediately put in place.

If not for Qin Luo's brazen actions, he probably would have received only one benefit: the daughter of Gu Yanting, Vice President of the Great Qin Academy.

And even the engagement had not been officially announced. The reason for keeping it low-profile was obvious.

This Ninth Prince of theirs was not valued!

Three days were enough for Qin Luo to refine the Nine-Turn Profound Pill. A lower-grade Heaven Tier pill was still immensely precious to him at present, allowing his cultivation to advance by another sliver.

"Poor as a church mouse—pitiful, truly pitiful. I just wonder what compensation that Qin Emperor will give me."

He did not believe that, now that everyone knew the Great Qin Dynasty's prince had returned, the Qin Emperor would offer no gesture at all.

[Prompt: A backer has arrived. Do you wish to draw in the backer?]

"Just tell me how many Villain Points it costs!" Qin Luo asked.

[Only 9988 required.]

"Spent! Spent!" Qin Luo said generously.

Within the Imperial Capital, an old man wearing a conical hat was walking forward when his heart suddenly stirred faintly.

"Could it be that this old man still has descendants alive?" The old man's eyes widened.

He had come this time for revenge, yet he had never imagined that the family he believed utterly destroyed still had surviving descendants.

His gaze instantly locked onto a direction.

Whoosh! His figure vanished from where he stood like a ghost, unnoticed by anyone.

"Someone is coming." Xi Huang's tone was grave.

The corners of Qin Luo's mouth lifted slightly. "That should be one of my people."

Whoosh! A terrifying aura instantly locked onto Qin Luo. In the next moment, an old man appeared out of thin air before him.

It was like teleportation. Qin Luo was shocked, but his eyes also filled with intense envy.

Blood was thicker than water. The old man raised his head and met Qin Luo's gaze, immediately confirming that Qin Luo was his blood relative.

"You are Wan'er's son! Yes, you are absolutely Wan'er's son!" The old man spoke in a trembling voice, tears filling his eyes and stirring even Qin Luo.

His body began trembling uncontrollably as tears gathered in his eyes.

A son resembled his mother—this was displayed vividly in Qin Luo.

"Child, I am—I am—I am your maternal grandfather!" Su Qianchen said with a trembling voice.

"Grandfather..." Qin Luo forced the word from his mouth, yet after saying it, he felt neither awkwardness nor resistance.

"Good child, good child!"

"Your mother..."

Qin Luo shook his head. He only knew that his maternal family was surnamed Su; he had not learned anything else.

He then recounted his memories.

He had drifted outside for eighteen years. One could say he had been abandoned from the time he was still wrapped in swaddling clothes, only returning to the Great Qin Imperial Capital recently.

Before that, he had not even known his own identity.

Without the system, he might already have been dead.

"You said your master is called Shen Su?" Su Qianchen asked.

"That's right. My master is Shen Su of the Taixu Sacred Land."

Su Qianchen nodded in understanding. "I once showed Shen Su a small kindness. I never expected him to repay it through you."

Qin Luo understood everything then. Shen Su had known his identity from the very beginning. There was no hatred without cause, nor love without reason in this world.

Su Qianchen had originally intended to cause havoc in the Imperial Capital, but now he had someone to care about.

He was furious over Qin Luo's current situation.

"My, Su Qianchen's, grandson, and that Qin Emperor dares treat him so differently!"

"Today, I will definitely seek justice for you!"

"Grandfather, don't act rashly." Qin Luo wanted to first determine his grandfather's cultivation.

"Grandfather, this is the Great Qin Imperial Capital after all."

"So what if it is the Imperial Capital?" A surge of pride rose from Su Qianchen. "Rest assured, unless the Qin Emperor intends to kill me, no one else in this Imperial Capital will find it so easy to kill me!"

"Grandfather, is your cultivation at the Saint King Realm?" Qin Luo asked uncertainly.

"Thirty years ago, your grandfather was already at the peak of the Saint King Realm!"

Su Qianchen leaped into the air and declared proudly, "Now, I am in the Great Saint Realm!"

The Great Saint Realm was the true pinnacle of combat power in this world.

Unless a Great Saint was besieged by many people, killing one was exceedingly difficult.

Because even if they could not win, they could still flee.

Qin Luo smiled. "Not bad, not bad. Grandfather is a Great Saint. Now I have a backer."

Xi Huang said indignantly, "I was once a Great Emperor Realm expert!"

"But now you are merely the primary soul of my Human Emperor Banner. A true hero does not boast of past glory."

"When the day comes, how about I, Qin Luo, bring you back to the Emperor Realm? From then on, just assist me wholeheartedly!"

As soon as Su Qianchen left, Qin Luo walked outside and told the people in the residence, "Open the gates and welcome the guests!"

"Today, this prince will take a concubine!"

Gu Yanting had truly listened to his daughter and knelt outside the palace gates for three days. During that time, quite a few people had spoken up on his behalf.

After Lin Xuan learned of this, he clenched his fists, becoming even more certain of Gu Qingxue's love for him.

"Qingxue, rest assured. No matter what, I will not let you be taken by someone else!"

"Even if he is a prince!"

Gu Qingxue stood not far away. Looking at Gu Yanting's back, her nose stung, and tears rolled down once more.

The three days had passed. Today was the day Qin Luo had promised to take her as a concubine.

Yet Gu Qingxue clearly still had not taken Qin Luo's words seriously.

"My arrogant Ninth Brother said he would take a concubine today, didn't he? Send him a congratulatory gift on my behalf!" Qin Feng said coldly.

He had sent Qin Luo so many women, only for Qin Luo to kill them all. He was furious.

This was no longer merely stepping on his face—it was grinding his face into the dirt.

Had Qin Luo not made such grand claims? Then Qin Feng wanted to see how Qin Luo would wrap this up today!

After deliberate spreading by interested parties, many people in the city were waiting to see Qin Luo make a fool of himself.

"A Ninth Prince who popped out of nowhere actually had the nerve to demand that Gu Qingxue become his concubine. Heh..."

"Some people simply do not know how high the heavens are or how deep the earth is. Even within an Imperial Dynasty, a prince's status may be incomparably noble, but there is still one saying: martial strength reigns supreme!"

"No background, no backer—relying only on the title of prince, he boasted far too early."

"I heard the Ninth Prince has undergone Bloodline Reversion. Tsk, tsk, everyone knows what that means, right? It proves that perhaps the Ninth Prince will have no chance of reaching the Saint Realm in this lifetime!"

"Marrying Gu Qingxue as his wife was a grace bestowed upon him by His Majesty. It was so that President Gu could protect him in the future, yet he is this ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth?"

"President Gu is now asking His Majesty to retract his order. Do you think His Majesty will agree?"

"Impossible. His Majesty's word carries the weight of nine tripods. If he said Gu Qingxue would marry the Ninth Prince, then she would marry the Ninth Prince. But the Ninth Prince has already offended the Gu Family, so perhaps he will no longer receive the Gu Family's aid."

"That overbearing and arrogant Ninth Prince truly thinks the Imperial Capital is the Taixu Sacred Land, where a prince can do whatever he pleases? There are a full nine princes. Aside from the Eighth Prince, which one is not a dragon among men, a favored child of heaven!"

At that moment, news finally came from within the palace. An old eunuch walked out and looked at Gu Yanting.

"His Majesty has decreed that since Gu Yanting's daughter is unwilling to marry Ninth Prince Qin Luo as his wife, then she need not marry him!"

At these words, Gu Yanting's entire body trembled. He knew this action would certainly displease the Qin Emperor. Though the Qin Emperor had agreed, Gu Yanting might no longer have any hope of advancing further.

After Gu Qingxue heard the news, she wept tears of joy and could not wait to share the good news with Lin Xuan.

But in the next instant, the old eunuch added another sentence.

"Then she shall become the Ninth Prince's concubine instead!"

"Men, go and send the Gu Family's daughter to the Ninth Prince's residence!"
