After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 335 - 256: Letter from the Divine Monarch Hall_2

Gu An paused for a moment, then poured a cup of tea for the other person.

"Just this once," Chu Meng said as she picked up the teacup and started walking out. Midway, she turned her head back and said,

"Remember to call me Senior Sister; calling me a senior feels too distant.

We are close allies.

Of course, when I’m displeased with you, it’s strictly a superior-subordinate relationship."

Having said these words, Chu Meng finally left.

Gu An initially planned to go to the Law Enforcement Hall, but then noticed Shu Ci approaching with two people.

It was the newcomers that Gu An had recruited.

Yang Qi and Zeng Lan followed behind Shu Ci, with only Zeng Lan, in her Qi Refinement stage, looking extremely nervous.

"Senior Brother, can I really earn fifty Spirit Stones?" Zeng Lan asked quietly.

"You should be able to do that here, right? It’s better than logging in the Inner Sect," Yang Qi replied softly.

He was honestly quite surprised too.

Fifty Spirit Stones, what kind of position merited so many Spirit Stones?

He had heard before that the Outer Peak had many Spirit Stones, but never imagined this many.

Zeng Lan felt even more like she was dreaming.

"Fifty Spirit Stones isn’t much; it’s only fifty because this is the newly established Six Courtyard," Shu Ci said with a smile. "In other places, it would be even more."

Both were astonished.

Zeng Lan hesitated for a moment but still asked, "Elder, I’m still only in Qi Refinement and not an Inner Sect Disciple yet; is that okay?"

"If our leader says it’s okay, then it’s okay," Shu Ci replied with a smile, pausing before she continued, "But you need to understand one thing: after coming here, you can’t go logging at night on your own.

Also, all sect affairs must be set aside for now.

You need to advance to Foundation Establishment as soon as possible.

Otherwise, on the day of the Main Court’s inspection, there’s a certain chance you could be expelled, especially being only in Qi Refinement.

Even if the leader can protect you, the Spirit Stones granted by the Main Court would be halved."

Hearing this, Zeng Lan felt the pressure.

But fifty Spirit Stones...

She earned only a few dozen Spirit Stones a month at Qianchen Peak.

And worked herself to exhaustion.

This place should only be busy during the day, giving her time to enhance her cultivation.

However, she was curious about who had issued the invitation to her.

She asked Senior Brother Yang Qi, but he wouldn’t say.

Soon, Shu Ci brought them to the courtyard.

"Come in," Gu An’s voice came from inside.

Soon, Yang Qi and Zeng Lan entered.

Yang Qi wasn’t surprised, but Zeng Lan found it somewhat hard to believe.

Gu An?

Back then, Yu Tu, Gu An, and she had similar cultivation stages.

All logging at the night logging yard.

Then Gu An joined the Inner Sect, and she heard he reached Foundation Establishment.

Then came news of Golden Core.

But she never expected he’d have such authority here.

A position offering fifty Spirit Stones, just like that.

Gu An didn’t immediately talk to Yang Qi and Zeng Lan.

Instead, he looked toward Shu Ci and spoke softly,

"Junior Sister Shu, you can make a trip to the First Institute. Qiao He agreed to teach one more person."

"The leader must be joking. I just promoted to Golden Core Early Stage, not yet time for another promotion," Shu Ci shook her head, refusing.

Gu An looked at her, thought for a moment, and said, "I didn’t say it was to advance to Golden Core Middle Stage. Go, just report if he completes it.

No need to report the other, it won’t affect anything."

At his words, Shu Ci was stunned.

Somewhat in disbelief.

She had always hidden her cultivation; her true stage was actually Golden Core Middle Stage.

Close to the Late Stage.

So, did the leader mean...

To let her advance to the Late Stage?

By "no need to report," did he mean to continue hiding it?

*She didn’t understand how the leader knew.*

But she still bowed her head to express her gratitude.

Then she retreated out.

Once Shu Ci left, Gu An turned his attention to Yang Qi and Zeng Lan.

Yang Qi was unfazed, while Zeng Lan looked utterly shocked.

"Junior Sister Zeng, it’s been a long time," Gu An said softly.

"Gu, Senior Brother Gu, you..." She was somewhat at a loss for words.

Gu An half-jokingly said, "I just happen to have three spots here. Not knowing too many people, I could only find you two."

Zeng Lan curiously asked, "Three people?"

Yang Qi chuckled, "Did Junior Sister Zeng forget Junior Brother Yu?"

"Yu Tu is also at the Outer Peak?" Zeng Lan seemed surprised.

Gu An nodded, "He is working there during his Foundation Establishment. At the Outer Peak, it’s dangerous to work without Foundation Establishment, so Junior Sister, you must strive hard.

By the way, I haven’t formally explained to you both."

Gu An looked at them seriously and said, "The position I have here is in the First Institute of the newly established Six Courtyard, which is to guard captives.

Your work will be in the First Institute, accepting captives and overseeing them.

Their cultivation will be sealed, so you’ll need to deliver some food.

These are your duties.

The Second Institute’s people will temporarily assist you.

But when they’re on a mission, you’ll have to rely on yourselves.

Furthermore, there are also dangers within the First Institute.

The imprisoned could have other means of escaping, and the sect might send people to rescue them.

Consider it carefully; if you agree, go to the First Institute and find the person who just was here.

They’ll assign you a position."

"I have no issue," Yang Qi said.

"Me neither," Zeng Lan said gratefully, "Thank you, Senior Brother, for giving me the opportunity."

Gu An nodded.

*Honestly, the cultivation level of the recruits wasn’t very important.*

*After all, those too strong couldn’t be found, and the others, when facing the captives’ mysterious techniques, were basically unable to resist.*

*Also, if there were jailbreakers outside, they’d have no method of coping.*

*So strength wasn’t a pressing concern at the moment.*

*For now, it was more about keeping these people manageable.*

Afterwards, Gu An headed to the Law Enforcement Hall.

He discovered there were many people still being detained here.

*This meant they might soon be sent to the Outer Peak.*

He found someone and handed the items to Dugu Jing.

The person was slightly surprised, "Junior Brother could submit these with his report."

Gu An smiled, "These are for Senior Brother; I’m not sure if they’re useful."

"Useful; let’s just say I killed someone and got this," Dugu Jing laughed.

Gu An nodded, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

*After all, dealing with a Bloodline Treasure was quite troublesome.*

*Giving it away also meant self-preservation.*

*To avoid the people behind the Bloodline Treasure chasing after him.*

"By the way, the prisoners will be sent again soon, and some of them are quite valuable," Dugu Jing said as he handed Gu An a booklet, "Borrowing it for a few days."

Gu An, taken aback, took it immediately, thanking him, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

*The booklet contained some records.*

*This way, he could know the relevant information about the captives.*

*Able to procure even more things.*

Leaving the Law Enforcement Hall, Gu An returned to Heavenly Suspension Peak.

Tossing some peanuts to Noodles, Gu An went into the courtyard.

Fat Tiger wasn’t there, but there was a stone near the tree root.

Gu An picked it up.

He found traces of Blood Evil Great Movement’s Qi on it.

This meant that to look inside, he needed Blood Evil Great Movement.

Without hesitation, he activated Blood Evil Great Movement.

Soon, Gu An saw a line of words.

"Who might be this Divine Monarch? I have just awakened, seeking a woman with the Eight Sound Talent. If you have any information, you can contact me via Secret Technique with my disciple, Dongfang Lingyun."

Hmm...

Gu An felt somewhat surprised.

He couldn’t even believe it.

Dongfang Lingyun?

The Dongfang Lingyun from the other Great State?

His mission target?

*This took Gu An by surprise.*

But this person had the nerve not to mention any reward.

*How was he supposed to help?*

It’s a pity that the Blood Demon Divine Monarch couldn’t respond; otherwise, he could ask a question or two.

Furthermore, what was the Secret Technique?

Flipping through, Gu An found another piece of writing.

"Big Brother, this is the information Little Blood received. It seems they’re looking for the Eight Sound Talent, possibly related to Eight Sounds Divine Monarch. The Secret Technique was established long ago by the Monarch Hall, with different Secret Techniques for each Divine Monarch. Mine is related to Blood Evil Great Movement."

Beneath it was a record of the Secret Technique.

It was merely a simple search and positioning.

But it needed specific people.

*Gu An felt quite emotional.*

*The mission target had been found.*

*But how to make the other party divulge the secret?*

*Or perhaps find them first, letting Chu Meng go to capture them?*

*That wouldn’t be secure.*

*Better finding a way to contact them, and then attempting to obtain the answer.*

*Would he need to locate the woman with the Eight Sound Talent first?*

*Wasn’t this like finding a needle in a haystack?*

*How was he supposed to determine who had the Eight Sound Talent?*
