After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 334 - 256: Letter from the Divine Monarch Hall
Chapter 334: Chapter 256: Letter from the Divine Monarch Hall
"You’re here?"
Chu Meng arrived in the courtyard, looking somewhat surprised at Gu An.
Gu An faced her and asked, "What brings the senior here?"
Chu Meng sat down across from Gu An, put down the plate she was holding, and then took out more plates, saying, "Of course, I came to see how you are hiding your beauty in the golden house. I heard you are no longer the same as before, now in control of the great power of the First Institute.
One could say you have achieved great success."
Gu An looked at the array of dishes, slightly surprised.
They seemed different from before.
"Did the senior change her maid?" Gu An asked.
"Your eyes are sharp, why did you have an eye for the Immortal in the building?" Chu Meng casually picked up a peanut and said, "They all said behind your back many times that you’re not up to it, superficially flattering but disdainful at heart. As your superior, seeing you being looked down upon like this, I feel somewhat ashamed too.
Besides, I have four maids, named Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, each of them can cook.
The dish today was made by the third maid."
Hearing this, Gu An was somewhat surprised.
He didn’t expect there to be four maids; this was the first time he saw such a thing in the Sect.
It seemed others did not have maids.
This showed that Chu Meng’s status was indeed not ordinary.
Gu An tried the pastries and found them to have a completely different taste.
But they were delicious.
It gave a strange yet comfortable feeling.
Gu An tried the other dishes, finding them all to be very good.
Next were the peanuts.
He was stunned by the taste; they were different too.
"Amazing," Gu An remarked, "Senior, this third maid is really impressive."
"What about the Second Maid, why don’t you praise her?" Chu Meng asked.
"Each has their own strengths," Gu An replied noncommittally.
He naturally wouldn’t say that the dishes made by the Second Maid were mediocre.
After all, she was just a maid, there was no need to make things difficult for her.
"Has the Six Courtyard started detaining people?" Chu Meng asked.
"Yes," Gu An nodded, "Is there a mission?"
"Yes, the same one as last time," Chu Meng replied.
Gu An was silent for a moment, how should he ask Chu Meng to repeat the previous mission?
"Forgot?" Chu Meng asked while eating peanuts.
"No, the mission senior mentioned, I’ve always kept it in mind," Gu An replied.
"Oh," Chu Meng nodded, "Then repeat it once?"
Gu An was silent.
You really know how to make things difficult.
Then he lowered his head respectfully and said, "Senior has the insight of torch, recently, I have been constantly entering the Law Enforcement Hall, tired in both body and mind, and forgot some details."
"It’s in my role as your superior that I wouldn’t blame you," Chu Meng shook her head in resignation, "Really envy you, having such a good superior.
Don’t you think?"
"Yes," Gu An nodded.
You’re making me repeat the last mission, whatever you say is right.
He really had forgotten, only remembering bits and pieces.
Indeed, it’s been too busy.
In just a few months, running around everywhere.
Either trapped or captured.
Chu Meng was very satisfied with Gu An’s performance, then said:
"The mission is to find a woman named Dongfang Lingyun.
This woman has a secret from another Great State.
Mainly, it’s about getting that secret, but finding her won’t be easy.
No one knows under what identity she is hiding.
That’s the mission for now.
All the missions of the Sect’s secret realm were taken under the cover name of that woman.
Her people have been very active lately, becoming worried after they joined the Demon Sect.
Fearing incidents.
They can only rely on that woman.
I must say, that woman has significant influence, doing good work usually gets some patronage."
Gu An pondered for a moment, had he received any patronage?
Naturally, he had.
Several issues were handled by either that woman or Chu Meng.
Otherwise, he might have been in trouble long ago.
With his capabilities, surviving in a Sect was too difficult.
Let alone live with sufficient dignity.
"Dongfang Lingyun?" Gu An curiously said, "What use is that secret to those above?"
"It could be sold, after all, many people want that secret.
Moreover, this Dongfang Lingyun seems strong; you probably can’t complete the task.
At most, rely on the First Institute to ask around," Chu Meng replied.
"Is there much information about this person?" Gu An was slightly curious, "Just a name and the fact she’s from another Great State, trying to find her is undoubtedly like searching for a needle in a haystack."
"It’s not searching for a needle in a haystack; why would I assign it otherwise? Stuck in this task, you wouldn’t get the mission rewards," Chu Meng looked at Gu An, "This is the harsh relationship between superior and subordinate, if you don’t make the superior happy, as a subordinate, you’ll suffer for a while."
Gu An: "..."
You really are a candid superior.
"If this task were completed, would the rewards be a lot?" Gu An showed a bit of interest.
"Hard to say, mainly depends on what’s gotten," Chu Meng earnestly said, "That b*tch will assess and then reward according to value.
Anyway, however much you earn, it can’t compare to her earnings."
Gu An nodded, not surprised.
The upper echelons weren’t charity.
They gave decent rewards; it would actually be pretty good if it weren’t for the curse.
After all, there is no rule that failing to complete a mission results in punishment.
"You seemed to be going out just now?" Chu Meng picked up a pastry and bit into it.
"Yes, I obtained something, would senior want it?" Saying so, Gu An took out the Jade Pendant.
Inside was a reddish vein.
"Bloodline Treasure?" Chu Meng took it, slightly surprised, "This is not a good thing, ordinary people can’t use it not to mention it being easy to be targeted.
No thanks."
Saying this, she threw it back to Gu An.
"Then I’ll submit it to the Law Enforcement Hall," Gu An spoke.
The Law Enforcement Hall should find some use for it.
Chu Meng naturally didn’t care.
Having eaten for a while, Chu Meng shook her head and sighed, "After so many years, as your superior, I’m very disappointed in you."
