After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 143: Even Chu Meng Was Shocked

Yang Qi’s words took Gu An by surprise.

There was actually such a matter in between.

However, he grew curious: "Didn’t this person have both hands crippled? Killing is easy, but to behead someone seems difficult, doesn’t it?"

"One hand was merely broken bones, it healed after a year," Yang Qi replied offhandedly.

Gu An nodded, then added:

"Afterward, when he betrayed the Sect, wouldn’t they hunt him down?"

"Logically, they should, as after all, his was a betrayal through killing. If it were just an ordinary betrayal, perhaps no one would bother," Yang Qi pondered and then continued: "As for the Sect, they can’t stop someone from betraying.

After all, leaving the Sect to complete a task and then never returning...

The Sect wouldn’t know whether you were dead or had betrayed.

So, betrayal isn’t important; the Sect’s gates are there, and you are free to leave if you wish, no one will stop you.

What’s important is what you did.

If you did nothing or just injured someone while betraying,

no one would bother about it.

They would just expel you.

But to kill someone and betray makes it easy to become wanted, or to be included as a mission target.

Of course, if they’re not some important figure, the price on their head would be low.

And this time, Wang Wen is different from others.

Logically, his killing four people in a betrayal is a big deal.

But the investigating elder brother Jiang Heng suddenly stopped pursuing it and did not follow up.

What comes next is up to the other members of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Those who took over this matter apparently just want to wrap it up quickly.

An announcement was made that Wang Wen betrayed the Sect and is hereby expelled.

It seems there wasn’t even a wanted notice issued.

My fellow townsman mentioned there might be other explanations, but he didn’t elaborate.

It’s quite a pity."

Gu An was astonished, the matter had been left unresolved.

Everything was investigated thoroughly, but the murderer wasn’t apprehended.

For a moment, Gu An recalled the person from last night.

That individual had come to apprehend him.

After all, even though he hadn’t killed anyone, those four had died because of him.

Yet, that person simply warned him to stay in line and didn’t delve deeply into his thought process.

Not just him, the murderer Wang Wen also wasn’t thoroughly investigated.

It felt as though they were intentionally let go.

However, he too needed to learn from this incident; even if being caught wouldn’t result in anything major.

But...

Getting caught would not be safe.

He could choose not to hide, but it wouldn’t do to be caught while trying to do so.

At the very least, he should make it costly for someone to find him.

For a trivial matter, they definitely would not pay such a price.

But, achieving that degree of security was too difficult.

Since it was impossible to hide, why not become an investigator directly?

In an instant, Gu An thought of Luo Sheng Hall again.

Which is also part of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Becoming a member of that place would make him much safer.

At least he’d understand how they investigate and be able to avoid it.

But entering isn’t easy; he should first enhance his cultivation.

He was already at the fifth level of Qi Sea Sky Gang, with four levels to go.

He was short of one more Hard Cultivation.

But looking at the current situation, there will definitely be more Hard Cultivations.

He can only refine himself.

After a while, he continued to chat with Yang Qi, who then mentioned going to find his fellow townsman in the Law Enforcement Hall.

That puzzled Gu An.

If Yang Qi had acquaintances in the Law Enforcement Hall, why would he end up at the bottom rung?

If his fellow townsman was willing to lend a hand, wouldn’t any good position be readily available?

It seems it wasn’t him with the background, but the other person.

To still address him as elder brother all the time?

Gu An felt somewhat embarrassed for himself.

In the afternoon.

Gu An went to the Iron Heart Wood peak again.

Upon arrival, he found that Junior Sister Bai Qing had returned.

The injury she had received earlier appeared to be mostly healed.

At least the burn on her face was healed, but she was looking down, pondering something.

"Is everything alright, Junior Sister?" Gu An greeted.

Upon hearing the greeting, Bai Qing looked up at Gu An, appearing startled awake.

Her thoughts were quite obvious.

However, what surprised Gu An was that the other party directly asked: "Brother, did you drop any Spirit Stones?"

Hearing this familiar question, he felt a sense of incongruity.

It was always himself who said he dropped Spirit Stones.

Since when did someone ask if he dropped Spirit Stones? What’s this about?

Giving him Spirit Stones?

"I didn’t," Gu An shook his head.

"That’s strange," Bai Qing murmured softly, "Fifty Spirit Stones mysteriously appeared in my spot, and because of that, I was caught by the Law Enforcement Hall.

But they released me last night and even gave me the fifty Spirit Stones back.

Now I don’t even know whose Spirit Stones they are."

Gu An felt quite awkward; he was the one who left the Spirit Stones, but he hadn’t expected the other party to be caught by the Law Enforcement Hall because of it.

Plans can’t keep up with changes.

"Then Junior Sister can keep them for now, and if someone claims them later, then you can deal with it," Gu An spoke up.

"Is that really okay?"

"There’s nothing wrong with it. Junior Sister doesn’t need to tell anyone else. The owner of the Spirit Stones will definitely know, and they will come looking for them if they remember."

Bai Qing nodded, indicating she understood.

Afterwards, Gu An asked for an axe.

It was the old axe from before.

Seeing this, Bai Qing was puzzled: "Brother, why don’t you use a new axe?"

"I like this model," Gu An replied.

"By the way, I heard something at the Law Enforcement Hall; it seems that a Sister lost something, vanished without a trace.

Brother, be more careful lately, it seems there might be someone in the Sect taking things." Bai Qing kindly reminded.

Gu An nodded his thanks.

Then he headed toward the forest.

"Some Sister lost something..."

Gu An sighed internally, hoping it was unrelated to noodles and also not the item that Chu Meng took.

Otherwise, a place as formidable as the Law Enforcement Hall could easily find him.

That would...

Be impossible to wash away even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Always on guard against theft, but never expected a spirit pet to steal things for him.

This time logging, Gu An felt his body no longer had much sensation.

Iron Heart Wood belongs to the realm of Foundation Establishment spirit wood.

His Body Refinement was already at the Perfect Foundation Establishment; although there would still be some sensation, it was purely tempering.

Now, he could log all day without any issues.

It’s a pity he could still only log for half a day.

After all, as soon as it gets dark, logging here is not allowed.

And the night logging yard hasn’t started yet; he had to wait two more days.

Wait for this matter to completely settle down.

Three days later, the previously sealed tea room reopened.

Gu An saw Bai Qing returning the Spirit Stones.

Since it had been over three days, she returned two broken Spirit Stones.

Bai Qing said it wasn’t that she didn’t want to return them, but that the place wasn’t open.

Immortal Xu also gave a clear reason, saying they could go to the Law Enforcement Hall to return the Spirit Stones.

There are always more solutions than problems.

Afterwards, Bai Qing could only return the Spirit Stones.

Gu An wasn’t concerned with these matters.

But is this kind of aggressive approach really ok?

Not until the next day did Gu An see people fighting in the tea room.

The tea room was also damaged.

But both individuals seemed to have no simple identities.

When they left, Immortal Xu sent them off with a smile, never mentioning the damaged items.

Seeing this, Gu An nodded in understanding.

No wonder there was no problem; they too were selective based on who they dealt with.

The weak get hit.

Afterwards, Gu An went in to ask about tea, and bought the cheapest tea.

One big bag for two broken Spirit Stones.

Gu An bargained for two bags for three broken Spirit Stones.

The other party refused, stating that the price was clearly marked.

Gu An didn’t press further and took the tea to leave.

He took it back to treat Chu Meng.

Two bags were almost a pound.

A pound for four broken Spirit Stones isn’t cheap either.

Sure enough.

Upon returning to his place, he saw Chu Meng.

When she drank the tea, she was shocked.

"This tea actually has Spiritual Energy? Did you strike it rich?"
