After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 216 - 199: Who Wants to See Me? Tell Them to Wait_2

Chapter 216: Chapter 199: Who Wants to See Me? Tell Them to Wait_2

I only seek you out because I received a letter from home, feeling depressed with nowhere else to vent.

Unexpectedly, all you care about is the mission.

It goes against all reason not to give you a hard time."

Gu An: "...."

He was a bit embarrassed by the other’s words.

If there had been no use of the Charming Technique, he would have felt even more guilty.

"Not talking?" Chu Meng sighed, "You have no sense of consciousness."

Then she said, "Since you love missions so much, I’ll tell you about this one."

Gu An was surprised, there actually was a mission.

Having a mission wasn’t really a problem, since it benefited him too.

There was no punishment for failure.

"It’s actually a follow-up to Ren Shan’s mission," Chu Meng said seriously, "That bitch got her hands on some stuff, but there hasn’t been much progress in the secret realm, plus they seem to have found a door now.

To open the door, you need keys.

That bracelet counts as one, the True Inheritors have provided another.

But two are still missing.

After investigation, one is in the hands of an elder from the Sect.

Not the lower-ranking elders like the ones from Qianchen Peak or Outer Peaks.

But the right hand man of the Teachings Peak Master."

Upon hearing this, Gu An was astonished, "You want me to steal?"

"Can you do it?" Chu Meng asked.

"I can’t." Gu An shook his head.

That was absolutely not feasible.

It would mean death.

"As you get older, you really can’t do much. Those Immortals in the tower having to cooperate with you is quite pitiable," Chu Meng shook her head and sighed.

Gu An: "..."

Can you keep your thoughts cleaner?

"You don’t have to take this token; that bitch will figure it out herself. At this level, ordinary undercover agents almost never succeed," Chu Meng said while eating peanuts, "So what you need to find is the fourth token.

The investigation revealed that the person who got the items had defected.

His cultivation is extremely high, but he was severely injured and likely doesn’t have many years left.

He might even be dead.

After defecting, he joined the Demon Sect, but he definitely still wants to enter that secret realm.

So with his limited time, he will surely approach the Sect.

According to speculation, he’s either hiding near the Sect or he died near there.

Your task is to find this person, and it would be even better if you get the token."

"What is the other party called? And what exactly is the token?" Gu An asked curiously.

Pausing, he then asked another crucial question: "What is his cultivation level?"

"His name is Zuo Youyan, the token is unknown, so is his cultivation level," Chu Meng pondered and said, "It was said that he had just broken through the Golden Core stage before he left."

Gu An fell silent.

So, he’s at least at the Primordial Spirit level?

No wonder there’s virtually no chance of winning, just interacting is a risk.

Dealing with Luo Yutong once was enough to make him never act rashly again.

Too dangerous.

After that, Chu Meng spouted some nonsense before leaving.

She left some peanuts behind, claiming it was a reward for Gu An.

Gu An remained silent.

It wasn’t necessary.

He didn’t even like peanuts.

Afterward, he had a meal and then practiced Sword Skills until dawn.

Just when he was about to return to the Outer Peak, he ran into Yang Qi.

Yang Qi told him Yu Tu’s attempt to advance had failed, and he had left for his hometown yesterday.

It seems he went back with his childhood sweetheart.

Moreover, his childhood friend has achieved Foundation Establishment.

Becoming an official Inner Sect Disciple.

While Yu Tu only recovered from his injuries.

Gu An was quite sentimental, didn’t expect both of them to have decent talents.

After a brief chat, Yang Qi left.

Gu An also returned to the Outer Peak.

After a short rest, he flew on his sword out of the Outer Peak.

Heading to the Vajra Wood Spirit Garden.

He was forty-five when he left; now he’s forty-nine.

It’s been over three years.

Would he be considered returning home with honor?

Unfortunately, it’s only superficially glamorous.

Thinking about it, he didn’t even have a place to live when he went back.

But having ten thousand Spirit Stones, he would be wealthy if he went back.

Comparable to the Chen Family, right?

As for cultivation?

All the people there combined probably wouldn’t stand a chance against him.

After all, where would you find a Gold Core in such a small place.

The next afternoon.

Gu An landed on the edge.

The workshop here still existed, and there were quite a few people coming and going.

Although poorer, there were indeed a lot of people.

Most of them had low-level cultivations.

Qi Refinement first, second layers.

Above three layers are rare.

"One feels so much more confident."

Gu An silently muttered to himself.

But there shouldn’t be many people here who recognize me anymore.

It has been more than three years.

Thinking it over, Gu An decided to first check who the manager of the Vajra Wood Spirit Garden was.

Then have him introduce himself.

That would make entering Vajra Wood much more convenient.

Also, he’d better understand the recent changes in the Spirit Tree Garden.

Of course, he’d inspect the existing wood, and he would take away any that were problematic.

This authority was granted by Outer Peak.

After all, not knowing how much Vajra Wood he would take, he needed this authority.

Otherwise, applying again would waste too much time.

He needed to quickly return as well to prevent any ambushes.

After offending people in the Sect, this is what life becomes, unable to live openly and honorably.

...

At the same time, somewhere in the courtyard of the Outer Peak Master’s Court.

Elder Huang was pruning spiritual medicines.

A young man walked in, respectfully saying:

"Elder, Gu An has left the Sect for the Vajra Wood Spirit Garden.

According to his speed, he should arrive today."

"Today?" Elder Huang responded without raising his head:

"He is impulsive, sometimes could be put to good use.

Unfortunately, the people behind him like using him in that way too.

Originally, wanted to use his recklessness to provoke other sects.

Who knew he would only be brave inside his own sect, bowing his head outside.

Too disappointing.

Was thought to have much courage."

"Since he cannot be used, should we eliminate him? After all, without him, we wouldn’t need to cooperate with others." The newcomer tentatively asked.

Elder Huang shook his head: "We can’t take action, that knife is still there, but we can anonymously send a letter to Qingcheng Sect.

Their people came here for negotiations before and were killed, right?

Tell them, the murderer might be Gu An, then inform them of Gu An’s whereabouts.

No need to do anything else."

"Yes." The man nodded in agreement.

Elder Huang continued to prune the spiritual medicines in the yard.

Seemingly, everything just discussed was not taken to heart.

Nor was he overly concerned about Gu An’s life or death.

A mere ant.

...

Vajra Wood Spirit Garden.

At the management office.

When Gu An arrived, he was stopped by two people.

They looked somewhat familiar, seen perhaps, but had no previous interaction.

"Fellow daoist, who are you looking for?"

Both displayed decent attitudes.

Gu An answered truthfully: "Cangmu Sect Disciple, ordered to check on something."

Upon hearing this, the two were somewhat shocked.

Then respectfully said: "Outer Disciple from Cangmu Sect?"

Outer Sect? Gu An did not explain, let it be Outer Sect.

For them, there was little difference between Outer and Inner Sect.

Both were beyond their capacity to offend.

"Who is your manager?" Gu An asked.

"Manager Zhao is also an Outer Disciple of our Sect, I will notify him immediately." One of the guards promptly said.

Gu An wasn’t surprised, back then he had casually appointed someone.

It was normal for Outer Disciples to come subsequently.

Inside the manager’s house.

A man around thirty years old and a middle-aged man were talking.

"The Chen Family has produced a prodigy, indeed a good thing, natural for them to join the Sect." Smiling, Zhao Hua weighed the Storage Treasure in his hand:

"Daoist Chen just wait for good news."

Chen Jin chuckled: "Then, thank you Manager Zhao, my niece has always been longing for guidance from the manager."

"Of course." Zhao Hua smiled warmly.

Back when he was in the Outer Sect, life was quite satisfactory, often borrowing Spirit Stones.

Every month incomparably better than other disciples.

If he hadn’t run into that person who lost Spirit Stones, why would he ever end up in this small place?

Initially thought there was no future here.

After arriving, he realized this place was much better than the Outer Sect.

Safe, and plenty of Spirit Stones.

Only unable to enter the Sect’s Book Collection Pavilion, relatively speaking it was a drawback.

But it was comfortable, too comfortable.

He never wanted to go back.

Even the Inner Sect wasn’t as good as here, once he reached Foundation Establishment, he would be unrivaled.

Suddenly, someone ran over outside: "Manager, there is someone asking to see you."

"What person? Didn’t you see I’m discussing matters? Have him wait." Zhao Hua barked angrily.
