After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 20 - You’re Finished

```

Hiding one's cultivation level?

Gu An found it somewhat unbelievable that the person appeared to be at the Fifth Layer of Qi Refining; he had always thought that was their true level.

It never crossed his mind that it was a concealed cultivation level.

That is to say, if the person was not one of his connections, then it might have been him who would have died?

The thought alone made him feel a chill down his spine.

Indeed, the Cultivation World is filled with all sorts of lies and dangers.

Even the beautiful Immortals love to deceive.

From now on, he must be more cautious.

If he could hide his cultivation level, naturally, others could too.

It was inevitable that he couldn't see through others if they could not see through him.

In the future, he would have to learn more about such magic techniques.

Both concealing one's Qi and detecting it.

Not only to hide but also to see through others' concealment.

However, he was not sure if the other party had seen through his facade.

"Senior Sister Meng seems to have lost weight." Lu Ruan walked over, and a talisman appeared and landed on Chu Meng.

Within a few breaths, Chu Meng's injuries had healed.

Then another talisman fell upon her,

and she seemed to be bound by it for a moment.

Throughout the process, Senior Sister Meng showed no resistance or extreme behavior.

Initially, she was worried, but when really faced with the situation, there was no need for worry.

She could only take one step at a time.

"Yes, what do you want to do with me?" Senior Sister Meng asked.

"Senior Sister, you jest. The word 'dispose' is a bit too severe," Lu Ruan smiled and said:

"In seven days, I will take you back.

These seven days you will be inconvenienced to stay here."

She paused, then added, "At most seven days."

After chatting a bit more, Lu Ruan left.

At the entrance of the courtyard, Gu An sent her out.

"What do you need?" Lu Ruan asked Gu An.

"Junior accepts gratefully whatever the senior offers," Gu An replied.

Lu Ruan took out a Storage Treasure and said, "This is for you, inside there is a secret book, as well as thirty Spirit Stones and Elixir Pills needed for Qi Refinement.

This is your reward for this mission."

Gu An was surprised, then he took the Storage Treasure and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Senior."

"Have you made up your mind about Shang Yundong?" Lu Ruan asked.

"Junior wishes to give it a try," Gu An answered.

Without saying much more, Lu Ruan left in a hurry.

However, before leaving, she still told Gu An that her investigation this time had yielded nothing.

Also, the three of them would no longer be involved in the investigation.

The final outcome would be determined by the findings of the Spirit Tree Garden.

And the investigation's findings were naturally about framing someone.

And the one with the most decision-making power would be Manager Chen.

Who would Manager Chen frame?

Yang Shi had already thought it through for him, it would be Gu An.

Thinking of this, Gu An felt a heavy heart.

He did not have much time left for himself.

Nor did Manager Chen have much time left, as the other party would surely take action within three to five days.

It would start with the delivery of a corpse.

Seeing Lu Ruan leaving, Gu An then returned to the house.

At this moment, Chu Meng for some reason had already started to eat the buns by herself.

"Finally, I can eat with my own hands, it's the first time I've realized how precious the most ordinary act can be," she said excitedly while eating.

Gu An, intrigued, watched her and couldn't help but ask, "Senior doesn't seem to be worried."

"Worried?" Senior Sister Meng turned to look at Gu An and laughed, "You should be the one who's worried, don't think for a moment that serving that vile man will end well.

I've heard what they said, if you don't escape, you're pretty much doomed.

They'll pin someone's death on you.

For matters that occur outside the Sect, most of the time the Sect only wants a conclusion.

```

Whether the result is correct or not, few important people care.

But they never expected that it was you who killed that person.

It seems like framing, but in reality, it's identifying the true culprit."

As she spoke, Chu Meng began to laugh, filled with mockery.

"Do you intend to inform them?" Gu An asked.

"If you're not afraid, what's the use of me informing them?" Chu Meng sighed and said: "In the future, we might be in the same boat.

Besides, if I inform them now, what if you suddenly want to kill me?

You're over forty years old, I'm still young, it doesn't make sense to die together."

Gu An actually didn't care.

Those people didn't really care who killed Shang Yundong.

They just wanted a conclusion, that's all.

Anyone could be the killer.

Besides, Chu Meng could only inform Lu Ruan.

And since Lu Ruan is not on the same side as Shang Yundong, she wouldn't care too much.

What she cared about was whether Gu An could find someone else to take the blame.

"Right, who came this time? Since Lu Ruan is here, the others must not be simple either, it's not necessarily that bitch who has the upper hand." Chu Meng asked.

"There are three people in total, the leader is a senior named Duanmu Qing," Gu An answered truthfully.

The situation should be under control now, informing the other party might bring more gains.

"Duanmu Qing?" Chu Meng was somewhat surprised: "I didn't expect it to be him, it seems I have no hope then."

"Is he also that woman's man?" Gu An asked.

"No, but he is Lu Ruan's fiancé, so he must be on Lu Ruan's side," Chu Meng replied.

As she spoke, Chu Meng looked towards Gu An and mocked: "Now you are almost in a dead end, wasn't I right? Working for that bitch never ends well.

If you had sent me back earlier, I could have saved you, but now it's too late."

"Why is it too late?" Gu An asked.

Now that his poisoning has been relieved, he still has ten years left.

Actually, he could still consider other options.

"With Lu Ruan bringing her fiancé, they hold an absolute advantage among the three, which indicates that bitch is about to win.

Even if I go back now, it would be like a lamb walking into a tiger's den," Chu Meng said as she ate her bun.

Gu An did not say much else.

Seven days, he was not without hope.

With the current situation, it's either him or the others that are done for.

After dinner, Gu An went into his room to cultivate.

He needed to sort himself out properly.

Sitting in the cultivation room.

Gu An assessed his own cultivation.

Qi Refining Fifth Layer, quite solid.

Magic, he knew the Fireball Technique, still just a basic entry level.

Perfect Mountain Opening Fist, almost invincible among his peers.

But as his cultivation grew higher, the Mountain Opening Fist became less effective than before.

At the Third Level of Qi Refining, the Mountain Opening Fist could completely crush other cultivators at the same level.

At the Fifth Level of Qi Refining, even though the power was greater, it couldn't completely crush others at the same level like at the third level.

Meaning, at the early stage you can crush peers.

At the mid-stage, there's a great advantage, but less so at the late stage.

And even less advantage as one grows stronger.

Furthermore, Hundred Steps Chasing Wind has also reached Perfection.

He hadn't cultivated the Mountain Opening Axe much, and the Qi Concealing Talisman Technique was almost at its highest level.

After confirming his current status, Gu An took out the Storage Treasure given by Lu Ruan.

Soon, he saw thirty Spirit Stones.

For a moment, he felt a bit dazed.

Wealthy.

For over forty years, he had never seen so many Spirit Stones.

Just, he didn't know how to spend them at the moment.

Escape was not an option, as he wouldn't be able to outrun Manager Chen.

He could only deal with this matter head-on.

Afterwards, he took out the secret book given by Lu Ruan.

On it, four large characters were written: "Qi Sea Sky Gang".
