After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 304 - 241: You’re 50—Probably Past Your Prime, Part 2

Chapter 304: Chapter 241: You’re 50—Probably Past Your Prime, Part 2

It had been lost many years ago.

So this tree suddenly appearing was quite precious.

The Linghua Sect likely wouldn’t want to give it up.

You might run into trouble later.

But don’t worry, you still have me as your superior.

When no one else is there to protect you, I’ll always stand behind you and lend you a hand."

Gu An felt rather touched as he listened, then checked his status.

*Deeply caught in the Charming Technique.*

Gu An said ruefully, "Senior, next time you say something like that, could you turn off the Charming Technique?"

Chu Meng looked at Gu An and huffed, "I’m not surprised you’ll end up alone, there’s absolutely no one in this world who would like you."

Gu An replied calmly, "That’s fine."

"So you can comfortably hide away a beauty in a golden house, or perhaps ascend the attic, right?" Chu Meng shook her head and said, "You’re fifty years old and not afraid of being mocked by the Attic Fairy for having a weak body.

If it were a Daoist couple, she would at most voice her displeasure at night.

But if your body is lacking and the Attic Fairy finds out,

then the whole attic would know.

When everyone sees you then, they would whisper,

and say, look, this is the person, it was great to be with him, done in ten breaths.

Quick to earn money."

Saying this, Chu Meng made a point of covering her mouth with her hand, pretending to speak in a whisper.

Gu An: "..."

Your mind is not only dirty but also venomous.

"I am heartily committed to the Dao without these thoughts," Gu An said very earnestly.

Chu Meng did not dwell on this further but said, "By the way, I did some digging.

There’s a weak demon behind that door, giving cultivation techniques, magic, and other items to those who enter.

Then, it left a mark on each person’s body, which will absorb blood qi for half a year to aid its escape.

It’s very likely now locked up by Linghua Valley.

Perhaps, this will also become a pretext for reclaiming the small tree seedling, since they could say you colluded with the Demon Clan.

In any case, be careful."

Gu An nodded, expressing his thanks.

Though Chu Meng as a superior had a somewhat dirty mind, she did indeed do quite a bit.

"By the way, you’re fifty years old, practically an old man." Saying this, Chu Meng took out three Spirit Stones from her Storage Treasure and said, "Here, these three Spirit Stones are for you, buy yourself something you like to eat.

This is care from your superior."

Gu An accepted the three Spirit Stones, asking, "Why three stones?"

"It was originally three hundred stones, but I didn’t like what you just said, so it became three." Chu Meng said seriously, "Next time you turn sixty, remember to speak nicer."

Gu An fell silent.

However, Chu Meng was in no hurry to leave, bringing up some rumors about him circulating in the sect.

He was now held in high regard by the Merit Hall.

He was thriving.

But because the Merit Hall was so ostentatious, many were already disgruntled.

Yet, no one dared to act recklessly just yet.

Small troubles might arise, though.

Because the Merit Hall wouldn’t deal with small troubles.

So, it was wise to be cautious.

Furthermore, the matter regarding Si Wuye was nearing its conclusion.

The Law Enforcement Hall might soon cease to pay attention to him.

Once they do, it would implicitly indicate he had nothing to do with Si Wuye’s death.

Then, people would want to align with him.

In some places, being pulled into alliances could lead to isolation.

Or even targeting.

"Back then, Zuo Youyan faced this, but he didn’t yield, even going head-on.

Ultimately, he ended up defecting." Chu Meng spoke earnestly.

It seemed she was cautioning him not to act out.

Gu An naturally wouldn’t act out.

In the past, any actions were due to being on a mission.

It was largely unrelated to him.

"Also, the direct disciple from Qianchen Peak has died, but there’s a clue. He seems to have a unique secret technique scroll, called ’Drawing a Prison.’ It’s said he found it in some powerful being’s ruins. If you encounter this person, it’s likely they’re the culprit.

Be careful, disguising himself as Zuo Youyan, these are all shady characters." Chu Meng reminded him.

Gu An didn’t know how to respond for a moment.

Was he considered a shady character as well?

Perhaps he was.

After all, he became that woman’s undercover agent.

But the other side seemed to want to keep his existence a secret.

He couldn’t help directly, nor could he make contact.

That suited him just fine, keeping him safer too.

Afterward, Chu Meng left with her peanuts.

Gu An went into the courtyard, looking at the three burning incense sticks before the Divine Tree, unsure of what the other party was up to.

Why must it restore itself in this manner?

"Big Brother, you’re back?" Fat Tiger appeared beside the tree and asked.

Gu An looked at the Blood Demon Divine Monarch, silent.

Why did a once formidable Blood Demon Divine Monarch have to take on this form?

After that, he asked if there had been any recent events.

He was informed that some people had observed from outside, perhaps even attempted sabotage.

Fortunately, none acted.

Additionally, Nangong Qiyue wanted to see him.

"When’s the meeting?" Gu An asked.

"She didn’t say." The Blood Demon Divine Monarch replied.

"Has she seen Mian Tiao?" Gu An inquired further.

"No." The Blood Demon Divine Monarch replied.

Hearing this, Gu An sighed in relief.

This was good.

It would be problematic if she recognized Mian Tiao.

However, Mian Tiao seemed to appear only when he or Chu Meng was present.

Since the Blood Demon Divine Monarch was a tree, it didn’t need to avoid him.

Gu An nodded, undisturbed.

Since there was no set time, he needn’t hurry.

Then, he left using Sword Control to head toward the Merit Hall.

Since Chu Meng mentioned it, he figured it best to deliver the items promptly.

If he waited for them to ask, it would be a bit awkward.

Moreover, Linghua Valley might soon come to find him.

That was another troublesome matter.

However, if he handed everything over, it shouldn’t concern him anymore.

A moment later.

Gu An arrived at the Merit Hall.

He approached the front desk fairy.

"Senior Brother Mei?" The front desk fairy seemed slightly surprised and said, "Meeting Senior Brother Mei is not easy, can you speak of Junior Brother’s matters?"

"Gu An." Gu An replied.

Upon hearing this, the front desk fairy was slightly surprised.

She discreetly sized him up and said, "I’ll go inform Senior Brother Mei immediately."

Before long, Gu An saw Mei Jianghe.

He, too, was somewhat surprised, "Why has Junior Brother Gu come?"

He honestly didn’t wish to see Gu An.

Why?

Because he feared Gu An wanted to exchange for merits.

He never would have imagined that once Gu An made it onto the list, so much would follow.

It truly allowed their Merit Hall to showcase its Divine Skills.

The effect was impressive, motivating sect members to take on tasks diligently.

Everyone wanted to rise.

But for ordinary people, it might take a century without incident.

Gu An, however, was different.

Every so often, there was a matter involving him.

It was indeed baffling how an Inner Sect Disciple could have so many events occur.

A real talent.

Removing him now, he truly couldn’t bear it.

Task Merit List couldn’t be falsified.

If caught, it could lead to death.

Soon, Gu An was invited into a slightly plain room like before.

"Junior Brother had quite a few incidents lately, but fortunately, there were no accidents." Mei Jianghe said with a smile.

On hearing this, Gu An felt quite grateful and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother. Without you, I wouldn’t be at ease."

Mei Jianghe laughed, "Junior Brother overstates; being on the list has its benefits, as long as there’s no need, don’t rush."

He intended to chat subtly about recent events and see the guest off once enough time had passed.

But if the other wanted to exchange, he couldn’t stop him.

That would be against the rules.

Gu An was slightly puzzled, "Senior Brother misunderstood."

"Not for exchanging?" Mei Jianghe was delighted.

Gu An nodded.

With that, Mei Jianghe’s face beamed, "Then, Junior Brother, tell me, what brings you here this time?"

Gu An took out the small tree, looked at the person before him, and said, "I came to hand over this item."

Mei Jianghe looked at the tree, furrowing his brows, "What kind of tree is this?"

He didn’t recognize it.

Gu An then recounted the incident in the cave.

Hearing this, Mei Jianghe was so frightened he stood up, "This is the core object of the Night Barrier?"

"I suppose so, though I’m not quite sure." Gu An feigned ignorance.

Mei Jianghe eyed Gu An, finding it hard to believe,

"Junior Brother, are you aiming to be the top of the list?"

If he guessed correctly, it was for setting up the sect-protecting formation.
