After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 10 - : Struck by Charming Technique

Tonight's incident was too significant; Gu An couldn't calm down.

This was his first time experiencing such a night since crossing over.

Yet, he wasn't that anxious.

He had long been psychologically prepared for such times.

But occasionally, when he recalled the recent events, he still felt uneasy in his stomach.

"Did you forget to give me something to eat?" Chu Meng asked from the side.

Hearing this, Gu An finally made some porridge, a bowl for Chu Meng and one for himself.

In reality, he had no appetite, and even felt somewhat nauseous.

Still, he forced himself to eat.

After eating, Gu An took out the gains from this time.

A Spirit Sword and a secret book.

"The sword is issued to Outer Disciples," Chu Meng kindly reminded.

Gu An turned his head and felt the other party was kind-hearted.

Following the other's reminder, he used the Clean Body Talisman.

For a moment, he found the other party to have clear brows and beautiful eyes, looking pitifully charming.

Not only that, but as the other shifted their body slightly, there seemed to be an inexplicable allure.

Gu An didn't think too much of it but tested the sharpness of the Spirit Sword; indeed, it was sharp.

However, there were no Sword techniques in his magic, so it felt awkward for him to use.

He thought about selling it when he had the chance or perhaps learning some Sword techniques.

At least he now had a Magic Treasure.

He checked the secret book and saw three words on it: "Mountain Opening Axe."

At a brief glance, it seemed to require an axe as a Magic Treasure.

Gu An wondered whether using it for logging would be beneficial.

But he did not rush to learn it.

"You killed someone, the Sect will investigate. Cangmu Sect is not considered a noble and upright sect, but it's definitely not of the Demon Path. The death of an Outer Disciple, especially one who came looking for me, will be exploited by those with ulterior motives.

Many people will come," Chu Meng initiated a reminder.

Gu An turned his head and asked:

"Will they find out it was me?"

"Of course, they will," Chu Meng nodded, pondering before adding: "But it won't be immediate. If that wretch's people come, you will have completed your task.

There shouldn't be any danger."

Gu An expressed his thanks.

"Additionally, since you've murdered someone, it's best not to rush selling the items you've obtained or use them hastily.

And definitely don't carry them on you, as you could be searched at any time," Chu Meng reminded again.

Gu An felt it peculiar; why had the other person suddenly become so nice?

And he felt that the person before him wasn't so bad after all.

Initially, he had cursed at them harshly.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.

There was nothing of a lady's grace in that behavior.

Out of curiosity, Gu An checked his status.

[Name: Gu An]

[Cultivation: Qi Refining Fourth Layer]

[Status: Poisoned, poison about to flare up, afflicted with Charming Technique]

[Magic: 12/50]

[Hard Cultivation: 5/100]

[Ring of Destiny]

Looking at the status section, Gu An was somewhat surprised.

When had he been afflicted by the Charming Technique?

Could the other person still cast spells?

This astonished him. Additionally, how could he free himself from the influence of the Charming Technique?

The more he interacted with these Sect Disciples, the more alarmed he became.

Because there was so much he did not understand, he could easily encounter danger.

He needed to improve his cultivation as soon as possible.

For now, he should keep his distance from the other person and try to see if he could break free from the Charming Technique while calming his mind.

Thinking so, he left the person in the hall and focused on tranquil meditation.

Early morning.

Gu An opened his eyes and checked his status.

Finally, he had freed himself from the Charming Technique.

```

He finally let out a sigh of relief; it seemed he would have to be more careful in the future.

These days, he had not left the Ring of Destiny, not knowing whether Yang Shi and the others had any plans.

The Supervisor of the Spirit Tree Garden's stance seemed to suggest that it was necessary to distance himself from them.

But that was under the circumstance of having a new leader; now that the new leader had disappeared, it was uncertain what the situation would be.

After preparing the porridge and placing it in front of Chu Meng, Gu An planned to leave.

However, before he had taken two steps, Chu Meng's voice came through: "Is this a coincidence?"

Gu An knew she was referring to breaking free from the Charming Technique, to which he replied with profound meaning: "Senior, you should just peacefully wait for someone to come pick you up. It's better for both of us, safer."

Chu Meng did not speak for a moment.

Her Charming Technique was useless, and moreover, his strength had increased.

Now there was even less hope of escaping.

If she continued to wait, there was still a possibility that someone from the Sect would come looking for her.

But by then, that despicable person would surely arrive first.

The fact that no one had been sent so far likely indicated that the power struggle had not ceased; they had no spare hands to send.

But if that despicable person had no spare hands, the people she was supporting were also indisposed.

Those who did come were all worthless riff-raff.

...

As usual, Gu An arrived at the Spirit Tree Garden, and the others had come very early.

Except for Qiu Hua, who wanted to greet him but was gestured by him not to, the rest of them all lowered their heads, pretending not to see.

Yang Shi spoke in a feigned whisper: "The new boss will be here soon, and if he sees you haven't started logging, it might not look good."

Gu An nodded, then picked up the axe and walked towards the Vajra Wood, beginning to cut.

While logging, Gu An saw a young man approach: "Leader Gu, do you really plan to log with us from now on?"

Gu An shrugged: "It's the upper management's arrangement; I can only comply."

"But with your Third Level of Qi Refining, you're not weak, you could earn some Spirit Stones by going out and doing other things." The young man said with a look of envy.

"When you reach my age, your cultivation might be higher than mine," Gu An casually remarked.

Indeed it was so.

At over forty years old, only at the Third Level of Qi Refining, he was pretty weak.

"Right, the people from Cangmu Sect should be here soon, right?" the young man asked.

Gu An nodded: "Yes, they'll be here to collect the lumber soon."

"There will be a need for guards during transport; can I follow along inside?" the young man asked cautiously.

Miao Cheng, Qi Refining Second Layer, about twenty-five years old.

There was a lot of Vajra Wood, and every time the Sect came to retrieve it, they would deliver some to the Outer Sect.

For Loose Cultivators to go to the Outer Sect was not easy, but once inside, there was a chance to learn something, as occasionally an elder would give lectures on techniques.

If noticed, one could even take on a mission outside.

Good luck and one might even be able to enter the Outer Sect.

That would be much better than being outside.

"I'm not the one in charge," Gu An said with a smile and then added, "If there's an opportunity, I'll speak up for you."

"Leader Gu's willingness to say a word for me is good enough." Saying that, he stealthily gave him a broken Spirit Stone.

Afterward, the two of them started logging in peace.

The more Gu An chopped, the more he could feel the change in numbers.

Warm Currents flowed into his body.

It was hard to raise the values through hard cultivation; the Vajra Wood here must be too young.

But most of the wood here was of such age, unless he continued to cut the older one deeper in.

Continuing like that would make it easy to be discovered, so it was better not to.

He had to rely on quantity.

He sped up the logging pace.

And Yang Shi and the others had waited from morning till noon, but the new leader had not arrived.

Until the afternoon, the new leader still had not appeared.

This caught them by surprise.

But then again, they felt it was nothing much.

After all, it doesn't really matter whether the leader is there or not.

The next day, the leader still didn't show up.

Yang Shi and the others were somewhat surprised, but didn't do anything.

The third day, and the leader still had not come.

This was abnormal, and Yang Shi immediately sought out Manager Chen.

He wanted to find out what had happened.

Being absent for three days in a row was not normal, or was it that Outer Disciples were just this fearless?
