After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 290 - 234: Higher Cultivation Leads to Arrogance and Being Deceived by Women (Part 2)
Chapter 290: Chapter 234: Higher Cultivation Leads to Arrogance and Being Deceived by Women (Part 2)
However, the First Star She Ti Ge has made many things much easier.
By sealing objects inside, they can be preserved for a long period of time.
The Second Star, on the other hand, has much stronger sealing power.
It can even try to seal an entire area within it.
Of course, if my own power is insufficient, the sealing won’t last long. If it’s something powerful, even if it can be successfully sealed, it might break through the sealing quickly.
However, this Sealing Technique is indeed formidable.
If all Twelve Stars are mastered.
Then...
Perhaps everything could be attempted to be sealed.
And it could be hidden.
It’s just uncertain whether external attacks would affect the seal.
During this time, my reputation has already reached its peak.
It should begin to fall back soon.
This would allow me to come and go normally.
After putting away the Second Star, Gu An called forth the First Star.
Inside it was still Si Wuye’s Storage Treasure.
It has never been opened or taken out.
He feared that the Direct Disciple’s Storage Treasure might contain special items.
Once detected, it could pose a risk.
Therefore, he had always been waiting for a good opportunity to take it out.
"Team leader," came the voices of Pang Wen and the others from outside.
Gu An put away the First Star and let them in.
It was Shu Ci and Pang Wen who entered.
"Is there a matter?" Gu An asked.
If there wasn’t an issue, they wouldn’t have come on their own.
"After we submitted our report, the Main Court accepted it and said that they could send someone to dig," Pang Wen looked somewhat uneasy.
Gu An knew then that there was a twist in the situation.
Pausing for a moment, the other party continued, "However, there’s another task assigned, and it’s directly from the Sect."
Saying this, Pang Wen pulled out the task document.
Gu An took it and read it, somewhat surprised.
The Sect indeed agreed to excavate the collapsed area, and the person sent was not a stranger but those suspects recently apprehended by the Law Enforcement Hall.
And the direct task participants from the right and left teams both required Gu An to personally accompany the team leader there.
This was akin to being one of the Supervisors.
Gu An remained silent for a moment; this was definitely not the idea of the Main Court.
It had an eighty to ninety percent chance of involving Spirit Controlling Peak or the Law Enforcement Hall.
Thus, Gu An kept the task document and said, "The task is set for early December, and there’s almost half a month left.
When the time comes, I’ll make a trip there; you guys stay in the backyard and see if there are other tasks following."
Pang Wen hesitated for a moment and didn’t say anything though he felt it might be dangerous.
But the team leader naturally had his reasons.
Then he added, "By the way, Junior Sister Shu has already reached the Golden Core Early Stage."
Hearing this, Gu An looked towards Shu Ci.
The other party openly showed her cultivation.
Gu An nodded, "Congratulations, Junior Sister."
Gu An thought for a moment, feeling that he should also upgrade his cultivation.
Higher cultivation would allow him to lead the team better.
Having the same cultivation as them, the team would be difficult to lead.
Hence, he decided to let them be the first two to know.
"I also have good news for you," said Gu An as he demonstrated the Golden Core Middle Stage power, saying, "I went to a secret realm and gained some benefits."
Feeling the strong Qi, Pang Wen and the other were both shocked and delighted.
For them, it was great news that the team leader had enough reputation and now stronger cultivation.
They congratulated him immediately.
Gu An paid it no mind, instead asking them to assist others as much as possible to achieve Golden Core soon.
This could prevent the second team members from being weak.
"By the way, Yu Tu from the Inner Sect has already reported in, and now I have Junior Sister Ruan Huan taking him around to get acquainted," Shu Ci spoke.
"Right, let him get familiarized, introduce him to the benefits, and then inform him of his duties," Gu An nodded, with no intention of meeting the other party himself.
First, let the person familiarize himself.
Shu Ci also informed him about Yu Tu’s situation.
Gu An wasn’t surprised.
"Don’t worry too much about it, leave his issues for him to handle, but since he’s injured, let him rest up first," Gu An casually said.
Yu Tu’s matter, Gu An didn’t plan to involve too deeply.
As of now, that was enough.
After chatting for a few more sentences, Gu An let them leave, and he had to go to Qingmu City.
He had to ask for leave from his boss again.
It was somewhat embarrassing this time.
He had to stay here to gather some information, try to contact the Zu Youyan family.
Other than this, just try to be a normal store clerk.
And try to grasp the Broken Blade Intent.
As of now, regarding the people Zu Youyan wanted him to meet, he had already met two.
Lin Rou was indeed one of them.
Even if he wanted to help the other party, he was powerless.
He couldn’t influence the Law Enforcement Hall.
At the moment, all he could do was wait.
Talisman shop.
Qin Shufu looked at Gu An with some surprise: "You need to go out in December?"
"Yes," Gu An replied somewhat awkwardly, "I don’t know how long I will be away yet."
Hearing this, Qin Shufu sneered: "What, you think you can rest whenever you want in my place?
Did I give you too many Spirit Stones?"
Gu An shook his head: "It indeed is an urgent matter."
Qin Shufu stared at Gu An, then flung his hand and went to the back.
Thus, Gu An was somewhat puzzled, did the other party agree or not?
Gu An remained silent for a moment, then didn’t bother anymore.
When the time came, he would just inform the other party, and then leave.
The worst-case scenario was losing the job.
Over the next few days, Gu An noticed Qin Shufu frequently bringing a woman back.
She was also in the Golden Core Early Stage.
Full of charm.
The two would go to the back, often discussing talisman making.
However, a week later, they seemed to have some disputes.
It was probably about Spirit Stones.
It appeared Qin Shufu lent the Spirit Stones to the woman to open a shop, and in just a few days, the shop was destroyed by the woman’s enemies.
The woman seemingly said she didn’t have the Spirit Stones, and if needed, they could seek the people who smashed the shop.
Gu An overheard that the people who smashed the shop were not ones Qin Shufu could afford to provoke.
A few days later, Gu An noticed that the woman wasn’t coming anymore, but other people did.
They claimed that the woman had sold Qin Shufu’s shop.
Now, they wanted Qin Shufu to hand over the shop.
Qin Shufu was furious and argued with them.
"This shop is mine, how can she sell my shop?"
"She signed the contract."
"What does her signing have to do with me?"
"She said that you two have become Daoist couples, since she’s your Daoist couple, naturally she can sell your shop."
"Just because she said so doesn’t make it so, I haven’t acknowledged it, how can she just sell it? If you want the shop, go find her, why come to me?"
Hearing this, the visitors were extremely dissatisfied and then told Qin Shufu to wait.
After the people left, Qin Shufu looked at Gu An, silent for a long time.
He seemed to have not anticipated such an event.
Gu An pondered for a moment; logically, such a senior should not have been tricked by that woman.
It seemed he became restless after achieving the Golden Core, getting carried away.
Simply put, he got arrogant.
Feeling entitled to enjoy life, he thought it was proper to find a beautiful woman.
How could she harm him, a powerful Golden Core expert?
Gu An decided to take this as a precaution.
He had just reached Late-stage Primordial Spirit, and it was easy to follow Qin Shufu’s old path.
Moreover, matters of affection are the most terrifying.
He must not seek a Daoist couple.
Such a thought shouldn’t even be entertained.
Otherwise, it’s easy to fall into someone else’s trap.
This woman known to Qin Shufu clearly wasn’t easy to deal with.
Purposefully scheming against Qin Shufu, an experienced Golden Core.
After a moment of silence, Qin Shufu said: "If you want to leave, go ahead."
Nowadays, there was danger here, and wanting to leave was natural.
Gu An was somewhat puzzled: "Senior, aren’t you continuing?"
"I am," Qin Shufu replied shortly after.
Thus, Gu An said, "I just wanted to take a leave."
Qin Shufu remained silent.
He didn’t understand if the person in front of him was being truly naive or pretending to be.
However, he didn’t say anything more.
End of November.
Gu An checked the time and realized he had to complete a task the day after tomorrow.
Yet today, he was still looking after the shop.
Suddenly, he felt a surge of Spiritual Energy.
With a bang,
Someone kicked the door flying.
The door flew right next to Gu An as it entered.
Gu An remained silent.
The door wasn’t even locked.
"Qin Shufu, I have brought the people now, today you have to hand over the shop one way or another."
As the voice fell, Gu An saw two robust men bringing in that charming woman.
Her Qi was bound.
And Qin Shufu also appeared immediately.
He looked at the newcomers, frowning, and said:
"Fellow Daoist Ouyang, the shop is mine, and she has nothing to do with it."
"But she said she was your Daoist couple, everyone saw you entering and exiting with her, even meeting some close friends.
Now you tell me it has nothing to do with you?
You sold the shop to me, and then causing this scene, do you not put our Ouyang Family in your eyes at all?" a frail middle-aged man walked in, his Qi bursting forth.
Golden Core Middle Stage.
The pressure made Qin Shufu unstable.
