183: Chapter 183 Former Friendships Turn into Mutual Recriminations! (I like young girls)

The women who arrived in their finest attire felt anxious at this moment!

Who among them didn't want to be favored by Gu Qingshan? If that happened, they would soar to new heights, taking their entire Family up with them!

While the women maintained a composed appearance on the surface, they had already scanned each other back and forth several times!

Some recognized good sisters they had once had tea and gone shopping with, seeing old acquaintances who usually claimed they would never marry in this lifetime!

How could they have imagined that one day they would be standing in the same line!

Especially when some women saw their good friends, sisters, or besties!

They could get along peacefully on ordinary days, but now everyone here was a competitor!

This concerned their interests. No matter how deep their bond was, it didn't matter right now!

Among the group, a woman in light green clothing cast her gaze upon a woman in a pink dress and spoke, "Oh! Isn't this Little Sister Ling from the Zhao Family? Didn't you say before that you wouldn't marry in this lifetime? How do I still remember you saying last time that men disgusted you? Why are you here today?"

"Isn't Elder Sister Wang here too? I heard Elder Sister Wang say before that whoever wants to climb the social ladder can go ahead, but you wouldn't. Why are you standing in this line today?"

The woman looked her up and down and continued, "This is the first time I've seen this outfit. Did you have it specially made?"

The two had originally been best friends in the Immortal Realm, but now the vibe had completely changed!

They were like hungry wolves, ready to pounce and take a vicious bite!

If one didn't know their relationship, one would think they were enemies!

"Who wouldn't want to climb the social ladder to a place like the Gu Family? Yet Little Sister Lin spoke so decisively before; I truly thought you were above the mundane world!"

"Elder Sister Wang, you are joking. I said those things before because I didn't know Young Master Gu was so outstanding. Now that I have seen this portrait, I know there is someone in this world worth my attention. But didn't Elder Sister Wang say before that you liked to be alone? I remember you even saying that men were a burden!"

The two began to bicker in earnest, neither willing to yield to the other!

In their hearts, they had silently marked each other as someone to watch out for!

Sisterly love? Do you know how many private groups four people can create? Four people, pairs, trios, full groups, and individual private chats! That's 15 groups in total! No one could have expected things to develop like this!

Similar conversations were happening in the distance, not just in one place, and not just between one pair!

People in pairs and trios couldn't stand the sight of each other, and their voices carried different shades of Yin and Yang.

The gathering of women stunned the Disciples guarding the Mountain Gate; they had never seen such women! Every one of them was a masterpiece of the human world, a stunning beauty; they never expected them to gather here!

However, they knew this was for Young Master Qingshan, so they naturally dared not harbor any ideas, focusing on doing their jobs and registering them one by one!

Those Disciples just felt that this scene was more exciting than reading a storybook!

Inside the Mountain Gate, Gu Qingshan had finished flipping through scroll after scroll of portraits. He leaned back in his chair and reached up to rub his temples! He was mentally exhausted!

He turned his head to look at Gu Chen and Ru Shuang beside him, his voice weary, "These portraits alone have taken me three days to look through. My father said he would help me find a suitable one, but he didn't even filter them by age! I am only in my twenties, and some of the women in those portraits are older than my father! Those who are over a hundred or even over a thousand years old—I could call them my great-grandmother!"

If you're going to pick, pick the right ones! You're stuffing everything in here; anyone who didn't know would think you were taking bribes! They are at the age of a great-grandmother, and you're forcing them on me to be my wife; isn't this just ridiculous?

My old man is truly starving!! He can eat anything!! But I can't!! At the very least, they should be in a similar age range! And as long as they look fresh and lively, that's fine!

After thinking for a moment, Gu Qingshan said to Gu Chen, "Do you think I should tell my father to set a restriction on age first? Otherwise, no matter how much I look, it's just a waste of time."

Gu Chen thought about it: "You really should say something. Otherwise, no matter how carefully you pick, if you find out the age doesn't match in the end, it will all be in vain."

Ru Shuang also nodded, "Go talk to him. Although he is anxious for your sake, you have to be pleased with the choice yourself first."

Gu Qingshan didn't say anything more and walked toward his father.

At this time, Elder Gu Kong was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea. Gu Qingshan walked up to him and spoke directly, "Father, I've looked for three days and picked out a few that were okay, but there's one issue: their ages are far too old compared to mine. For future portraits, can you filter this out first?"

He didn't even spell it out explicitly! He likes them young!

Elder Gu Kong was stunned for a moment. He picked up the introductions, specifically looking at the age section. He hadn't expected them to be women who were hundreds of years old! Some of the older women were even older than him! He was embarrassed for a moment; how could he have forgotten this?

Those women were of a normal age within the cultivation world, but for Gu Qingshan, they were simply too old!

After all, whenever Gu Qingshan went out, he was protected by a Great Emperor and was the son of a Gu Family Elder with countless resources! His cultivation and status were top-tier, so naturally, he had his own thoughts and pursuits.

Having his own opinions was a good thing; at least he was willing to participate! After all, it was understandable for a young man to like someone younger! Especially since he had the means!

He glanced at Gu Qingshan's expression and was silent for a while, "Fine! I will have people pass the word along; we won't accept anyone who is too much older than you!"

As long as his son was willing, everything else was fine!

The news spread quickly. Within less than an hour, people outside the Mountain Gate had received the new requirement! Ages 18 to 28!

The group of women was silent for a moment, and then discussions erupted everywhere!

"What? Young Master Qingshan says he won't accept anyone too old? I'm 120 years old; does that count as old?"

"Not old? Then I'm almost 300 years old! Haven't I come here for nothing?"

"I'm only 80! But I'm still several decades older than him! If I had known, I wouldn't have written my real age. I regret it so much! Wuwuwu!"

"I thought Young Master Qingshan didn't care about age and valued Heart-Nature and cultivation instead. I didn't expect him to be so strict!"

"Then for someone like me who is over a thousand years old, doesn't that mean I can't even touch the threshold? I even wore a new outfit and spent half an hour applying makeup! And yet, they look at age for the first hurdle!"

"My figure is so good! I cultivate the Dao of Charm, and my Realm isn't low either! Why doesn't Young Master Gu look at these? Age is just a number!!"

"Then you might as well go be an Elder. Young Master Qingshan wants someone young and beautiful, not a thousand-year-old demon!"

"You! Why are you speaking so harshly? I'm just unwilling to give up!"

Many women were extremely unwilling to accept this; they felt the restriction was too harsh. They had originally thought they had a chance, but it turned into bubbles!

Especially those women who were over a thousand years old; they felt they were perfect in every way—cultivation, Heart-Nature, and they knew how to take care of people; these qualities were definitely much better than those young ones!

The women all sighed and lamented!
