After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 16 - : Seeing the Other Person Off

When I went out today, I did not hear Chu Meng's inquiry.

I leave the house every day, so she must be used to it.

On the other side.

Chen Residence.

In a courtyard, dull cries of pain could often be heard.

"Gu An, you deserve to die, you really do. What right do you have to injure me so severely?"

"When I recover, it will be your death day."

"Today I am no match for you, but in due time, you will kneel before me."

Curses and moans of pain kept emanating without cease.

In the room, Yang Shi's face was contorted; his wounds were actually not too severe.

He could recover in a month or so.

But the bitterness in his heart did not subside, leaving him restless.

He had to vent, to tear Gu An into pieces, before his mind could be at ease.

Cursing himself made his current suffering bearable, keeping him from going mad.

Thud, thud!

While he was cursing, there suddenly came a knock at the door.

"Didn't I say to stay away from this courtyard?" Yang Shi rebuked angrily.

Creak!

As Yang Shi scolded, the door was suddenly pushed open.

A figure walked in and then gently closed the door behind them.

And casually applied a soundproofing talisman.

This unexpected turn of events left Yang Shi startled: "Who's there?"

By now, the figure had walked in.

Standing quietly by the bed.

The moonlight tonight was good enough to provide ample illumination.

Seeing the visitor, Yang Shi was shocked.

Somewhat in disbelief.

"Leader Yang, we meet again."

Gu An spoke softly beside the bed.

"How did you get in?" Yang Shi asked nervously.

"I walked in from the outside," Gu An replied calmly.

"How could the Chen Family have let you in?" Yang Shi was incredulous.

"The Chen Family's guards are merely adequate," Gu An hinted meaningfully.

Hearing this remark, Yang Shi was shocked, his disbelief intensified: "You..."

Gu An looked at him, stepping closer: "Actually, I'm not particularly fond of killing people."

"You dare?" Sensing Gu An's indifference and murderous intent, Yang Shi cried out in terror: "I am a Talisman Maker, a person the Chen Family intends to cultivate, soon to be married to Miss Chen. If you kill me, you will never escape..."

While he was speaking, Gu An had already approached.

Then, he suddenly seized Yang Shi by the neck.

The sensation of suffocation filled Yang Shi with terror and dread.

"Don't, don't kill me," he begged: "Boss, please, give me another chance, I won't dare, I won't..."

Gu An, looking at him, devoid of any emotion in his eyes: "Don't worry, it'll be over quickly, it won't be painful."

"No, please..."

Crack!

Before Yang Shi could finish his sentence, Gu An had snapped his neck.

There is a significant gap between the Qi Refining Fifth Layer and the Third Level of Qi Refining.

Having done that, Gu An took out a dagger and stabbed twice in the chest area.

One on the left and one on the right.

Whether the heart was on either side, death was inescapable.

He paused for a moment, having heard that the heart is located in the center, he then stabbed towards the middle.

Only then did Gu An feel at ease.

He searched the clothes of the corpse, took two Spirit Stones and several talismans, and left.

After a while.

There was no longer any sign of Gu An in the room, nor the soundproofing talisman.

The room remained quiet.

Until the dawn.

Gu An, back at his place, was washing his hands and preparing breakfast.

Yang Shi could no longer stay.

If he stayed, the Chen Family might do a lot.

After all, as long as a person is alive, they can be incited, and they will fret over gains and losses, weighing interests.

```

But once a person is dead.

They're at peace.

And someone at the Third Level of Qi Refining like him wouldn't likely break into the Chen Family to commit murder.

Though he might be suspected, it's still better than Yang Shi fanning the flames.

As for why Yang Shi hated him so much, he didn't ask.

Knowing or not, it wouldn't change the final outcome.

So he decided not to inquire for the time being.

He feared he wasn't ruthless enough and might let Yang Shi off due to some sentimental reasons.

That could lead to his own demise in the future.

With a deep sigh of relief, Gu An brought the breakfast into the living room.

Simple white porridge.

He served a bowl for each person, then started eating.

This was ordinary rice, as Spirit Rice was something normal people couldn't afford.

Chu Meng looked at Gu An and said:

"I came to realize something last night."

"What's that?" Gu An casually asked while eating.

"I think you should be more courteous to me," Chu Meng stated.

Hearing this, Gu An raised his eyebrows and responded, "I think I've been quite polite."

"No, not polite enough," Chu Meng seriously said as she looked at Gu An. "Have you not understood the nature of our relationship?"

Gu An looked at her somewhat surprised, waiting for her to continue.

"Firstly, you're that bitch's undercover agent; this should be a secret unknown to ordinary people," Chu Meng continued as she looked at Gu An:

"Then there's the fact that I know about you. Normally, I shouldn't be alive, but that bitch insists on capturing you alive, which means I have enough value for her to likely not kill me. Instead, she might turn me to her side.

That means, as long as I agree to defect, we'll be on the same boat. And you're on the outside, while I'm in the Sect.

I'm likely to be in a higher position than you.

So, is this how you should treat me? I'm not asking for my body to be healed, but it wouldn't be too much to ask for better food, right?"

Gu An was inwardly stunned.

Even though he was an expendable pawn.

One thing she said was right, that woman wanting to capture him alive indicated the value of the person before him.

And looking at her cultivation and background, she was far above him.

Once aligned with that woman.

She could completely control him.

"So, Senior, are you going to defect?" Gu An asked.

"You needn't worry about whether I'll defect or not. You just need to know that I have enough value and enough leverage over you," Chu Meng said seriously to Gu An. "Three meat buns a day isn't too much to ask, right?"

"It's not too much. Are you certain that's all you're asking for, Senior?" Gu An asked.

"Would you agree if my demands were more excessive?" Chu Meng inquired.

Gu An shook his head.

As long as she was alive, she was always going to be a problem.

Sadly, whether she lived or died was not his decision to make.

Besides, his own life was at stake too.

The liaison had still not shown up.

After settling the discussion, Gu An headed to the Spirit Tree Garden.

This time there were only four people.

Gu An continued with the logging, aiming to raise his numbers quickly.

At the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, he was still insufficient for self-protection. Manager Chen's aura from yesterday could completely crush him.

Whether the Chen Family would decide to vent their anger on him was also debatable.

Manager Chen might be forgivable since Shang Yundong had disappeared, and there might still be issues that required him to take the blame.

He wouldn't take action for the time being.

Looking at the silently busy Supervisor, Gu An let out a sigh.

The number of people was dwindling.

...

At the Chen Residence.

A dignified and beautiful young lady stood in the center of a room.

She wore a luxurious satin dress, its hem dancing lightly in the breeze.

Chen Yu, the young mistress of the Chen Family.

At the moment, she stood in Yang Shi's room, staring at the lifeless body with furrowed brows.

Soon, a middle-aged man rushed in.

Seeing the corpse, he became quite angry: "Who did this?"

"With the killer arriving and leaving without a trace, this was no small feat," Miss Chen remarked.
