After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 252 - 217: Chu Meng’s Not Acting Normal

Crossing the bridge was smooth.

No danger at all.

Gu An also recalled the five people Zuo Youyan wanted to assassinate.

Li Yue, according to Zuo Youyan’s records, is a person of extremely high talent, a disciple from the Spirit Controlling Peak.

She has the shadow of an elder from the mountain behind her.

The reason for wanting to kill her was because she caused him to suffer a big loss over an incident, even endangering the life of one of his senior brothers.

The cause was her scheming to drag them into the fray to seize a treasure.

In the end, they suffered the hardships, while she reaped the benefits.

Although Zuo Youyan was involved, he did not confront her directly.

Afterward, he wanted to kill her.

But at that time, Li Yue was hiding beside an elder, always close at hand.

He had no opportunity to strike.

She also had many Magic Treasures, and if she used them, it was very likely she could escape.

Later, he had no more chances.

Gu An felt a pang of emotion, the name matched, and so did Spirit Controlling Peak.

Self-centeredness also matched.

She must be the one.

Gu An remained silent.

After everyone safely crossed, they saw Li Yue quickly leave with her people.

Without even a word of thanks.

"Senior Brother, would you still save her if you encounter her again?" Zhuge Jing looked at Luu Ping.

The brooding Luu Ping shook his head slightly.

He did not speak.

Gu An was not certain whether it meant he wouldn’t save her or he didn’t know.

However, the fact that Senior Brother didn’t covet that Ancient Sword was somewhat surprising to him.

Or was it because there were too many people around, making it inconvenient to act directly?

When he led the team, if he needed to kill someone,

indeed, it wasn’t proper to do it in front of the other members.

A suitable opportunity was needed.

He wondered if Senior Brother Luu felt the same way.

"Junior Brother Gu, was that Planting Beans into Soldiers just now?" Nanyun Dong asked curiously.

Gu An nodded, speaking softly: "Nothing but a petty trick too shameful for public display."

Nanyun Dong looked at him and said, "Was the small trick you mentioned before also this?"

Gu An nodded again.

Indeed not very useful.

Only good for cleaning up after a battle.

Its offensive and defensive power were mediocre.

But these were his own red beans; the ones Chu Meng had given were indeed quite powerful.

They were all Golden Core.

Somewhat useful.

At its core, still meant for cleaning the battlefield.

"This Planting Beans into Soldiers is not of low level," Nanyun Dong said with some admiration.

"Red beans must not be cheap either," Luu Ping slowly spoke up.

Gu An looked slightly embarrassed: "They’re just ordinary red beans."

Indeed not expensive.

Luu Ping did not say anything further, but Gu An felt that he was very interested in this technique.

As for Li Yue, although the others also mentioned her, it was merely to curse.

Gu An felt these people were slightly different from those he met before.

Nanyun Dong and the others did not speak nicely, but they were always doing something.

They took action at the first sign of danger.

Gu An had almost never taken action himself.

But the way these two people spoke was indeed unpleasant; if they encountered someone sensitive inside, they might harbor resentment.

Feeling that the two treated them as useless.

After crossing the river, the road behind was much safer.

Though there were still some Demon Beasts and plants.

But Zhuge Jing and Nanyun Dong could handle them.

Gu An was protected the entire way, with no danger at all.

On this part of the journey, they spoke less and didn’t seem to think of him as a burden anymore.

Before nightfall, Gu An saw a forest, followed by a bamboo grove.

The thick Spiritual Energy in the bamboo forest, and the presence of Sword Intent.

Everyone was pleasantly surprised.

They had arrived.

Soon, the five of them reached the front of the bamboo forest.

Everyone sensed it and knew they had found the right place.

"The Sword Immortal Tomb should be inside, let’s rest for a bit, and then we’ll go in," Luu Ping said.

The group sat down crossed-legged to recover.

Gu An wasn’t in a hurry but went to the edge of the bamboo forest to touch it tentatively.

The profound aura of ages past, and on top of that, a massive amount of Spiritual Energy.

A good place, good bamboo.

He could hardly contain his desire to start logging.

"What is Junior Brother looking at?" Zhuge Jing asked curiously.

After thinking for a moment, Gu An said, "I’ve heard that our Heavenly Suspension Peak Sword Tomb also needs such bamboo."

"This bamboo can nurture Sword Intent; once a bamboo forest forms, it greatly aids in comprehending the sword.

It’s a pity that simply transplanting is not enough.

One needs the core bamboo," Zhuge Jing explained.

"I heard that if enough logging is done, one might find that core bamboo," Gu An inquired.

Hearing this, Zhuge Jing nodded: "That’s what they say, but the success rate is too low.

It’s very difficult.

Initially, people from Heavenly Suspension Peak in other places tried as well, but even after cutting down all the bamboos, there was no guarantee to draw out that core bamboo."

Hearing this, determination flashed in Gu An’s eyes, as if he had made some decision, and he said: "Sister, I plan to stay and log."

Upon his words falling, Zhuge Jing’s face filled with astonishment.

"Are you serious?" she asked.

Gu An nodded: "Yes."

After a while,

Luu Ping and the others also recovered their status.

They were the first to learn that Gu An intended to stay for logging.

"It’s obvious that the Sword Immortal Tomb is more important, so why log?" Nan Xueyan furrowed her brows and asked.

"The opportunities in the Sword Immortal Tomb are enough for the senior brothers and sisters, I will take care of the Spirit Bamboo.

Though it might not benefit me personally, if successful, it would be a huge help to the entire Heavenly Suspension Peak.

The benefit will last for generations," Gu An spoke earnestly.

"Benefit lasting for generations?" Nanyun Dong was shocked: "Junior Brother, are you that noble?"

Gu An ignored them and looked at Luu Ping sincerely, saying: "Senior Brother should understand that my cultivation is not enough; entering the Sword Tomb will ultimately hinder you.

What you would have gained with many opportunities will be reduced because of me.

It would be better for me to stay outside, perhaps there will be more gains."

"Junior Brother, your words are not right," Nanyun Dong hastened to say: "Though your cultivation is low, sometimes the opportunities inside are just suited for someone with your level of cultivation."
