After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 551 - 358: Marriage Partner Confirmed (Part 2)

Situ Baichuan looked at the benevolent Immortal and said, "As long as you are alive, the Sect will have no shortage of pitiful people."

...

Gu An just returned to his residence, waiting for further news from the Sect.

However, just as he sat down, Pang Wen hurried over, looking excited.

Gu An was slightly curious, "Did the Main Court replenish the resources?"

Previously, due to targeting, the resources for the First Institute and the Second Team were withheld.

Although the targeting ceased later, the resources were never replenished.

Recently, Gu An asked Pang Wen to apply to see if the resources could be replenished.

If they can be replenished, good; if not, then so be it.

It’s not a big deal.

The current First Institute can afford to distribute resources.

Gu An himself isn’t lacking in those Spirit Stones.

After all, the monk before and the Immortal Xue Ying later, both gave some Spirit Stones.

Not much, but each was over ten thousand.

Relatively speaking, it was already considered poor.

In addition, he received some Buddhist Magic, named Buddha’s Light Shines Everywhere.

It’s just that Gu An had no intention of cultivating it, and would sell it next time.

As for Immortal Xue Ying’s items, there weren’t many, but the Reincarnation Technique did have something on the Daoist Immortal Bridge.

Apparently, she had long been prepared for advancement.

"No." Pang Wen’s voice pulled Gu An back.

"Then what is it?" Gu An asked.

"It’s the list." Pang Wen said excitedly, "The Sect announced the Six Institutes’ list, it’s the candidate list."

Gu An was surprised; this was faster than he expected. After a pause, he said, "What’s the result?"

Seeing the other person so excited, Gu An had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, Pang Wen excitedly said, "Hit the mark, the leader made it to the candidate list, there’s a chance to marry the Commandery Princess."

Gu An was stunned.

He didn’t know how he made Pang Wen leave, but he was sure he needed to return to the First Institute to report this happy news.

"The sky has fallen." Gu An felt the Sect was too harsh on him.

Why is everything involving him?

There’s really no need.

He’s just an ordinary person without any ambition.

He doesn’t want to become Royal Family, nor to be famous in the Sect.

Nor does he want to compete with some Direct Disciple or True Inheritor for anything.

He just wants to do logging.

He doesn’t need anything else.

After that, he went to look at the list, and sure enough, his name was prominently at the top.

As always, some are happy while others are worried.

Others from the Institutes would congratulate Gu An when they saw him.

Those who didn’t make it on the list had to go back and arrange other things.

To cope with many changes.

Only the First Institute, Fourth Courtyard, and Fifth Institute were temporarily problem-free; even more people began to form alliances.

As long as the alliances were properly made, there would be some benefits.

Because the one who finally becomes the Marriage Partner will have the most consolidated benefits.

Gu An lowered his brow, now that he’s also selected.

He fears someone might come knocking soon.

Besides, those from the Zhuanlun lineage might seek him out.

Perhaps they will continue to wait for the final candidate.

It is unknown how long this final time will be.

Gu An thought it might be announced by mid-month.

Maybe even sooner.

The Sect turned around and announced it quickly, truly at godspeed.

...

Spirit Bamboo Peak.

In the courtyard, Chu Meng was writing something seriously.

After some time, she looked at the content above and nodded heavily.

Then she folded it and put it in an envelope.

At this moment, Chunyu entered.

"Miss." She respectfully saluted.

"What’s the matter?" Chu Meng sealed the envelope and asked casually.

"The marriage alliance list is out." Chunyu said.

Hearing this, Chu Meng looked at her and then said, "Who are they all?"

Chunyu dared not hide anything, and truthfully said, "First Institute Gu An, Fourth Courtyard Shangguan Xiu, Fifth Institute Cheng Yu."

"Who do you think has the highest possibility?" Chu Meng said as she handed the envelope to her, "It’s been a long time since I wrote to the family; take this letter over, I think the family is also nearby, do you know the address?"

"I know." Chunyu took the envelope and asked, "Do you want it delivered now?"

"First tell me who you think has the highest possibility?" Chu Meng asked curiously.

Chunyu thought for a moment, then said, "Fourth Courtyard Shangguan Xiu, elegant demeanor, exceptional temperament, with the highest cultivation, but not young.

If talking about the youngest, it’s actually First Institute Gu An, but he looks too old.

It’s also uncertain if it’s his real age.

Besides, he’s from the Zhuanlun lineage, probably can be ruled out.

So the last possibility is Spirit Controlling Peak’s Cheng Yu.

"Young, remarkable in appearance, cultivation neither too good nor too bad."

Chu Meng smiled slightly, then calmly said, "Go deliver the message."

Chunyu hesitated a bit, tentatively asking, "Miss, are you planning to leave the Cangmu Sect?"

"No, I will not leave." Chu Meng calmly replied, "Waiting to watch a good show."

Chunyu was puzzled but dared not ask further and left quickly.

This time, she needed to personally deliver the message.

The distance was not very far, so it would take at most two days.

The people over there were also waiting for the answer.

...

Two days later.

A quite prosperous large city.

Many cultivation families were gathered here.

Among them, the Li family was the largest.

It was said they were related to the Royal Family.

Their unyielding position was also due to this.

In the backyard of the Li family.

By the lakeside pavilion, a couple sat.

The man wore a brocade robe, with a jade belt at his waist; his eyes were deep like an ancient well, flickering with the light of wisdom; beneath his sword-like eyebrows, there was a hidden deep thought and decision-making about the world.

Although time had left some marks on his face, it made him appear more composed.

Beside him was a woman dressed in a plain cyan robe, her posture dignified. Her eyes were as clear as autumn water, carrying the unique tenderness and gentleness of a woman.

With a single glance, she seemed capable of toppling a fortress.

Her eyebrows were long yet soft, subtly revealing her unique temperament with every smile.

While they were drinking tea, someone came in from outside.

It was the middle-aged man who had gone to Cangmu Sect for the list.

"Prince," the middle-aged man bowed in greeting.

"Hmm," the Prince looked at him and said, "Chen Qianhu, did you get the list?"

"Yes, this is the list given by the Cangmu Sect." Chen Qianhu immediately presented the list.

The Prince took the list, glanced at it, and frowned slightly, "Did they provide any explanation?"

"No." Chen Qianhu responded immediately, "The Cangmu Sect has already become the Demon Sect, quite erratic in their actions, and as this matter is prone to mishaps, I dared not make a noise."

Upon hearing this, the Prince also nodded, "The Cangmu Sect has indeed been quite reckless recently, but as long as it doesn’t cause major harm, I shall select one."

"Won’t Your Highness show it to me?" the Princess laughed as she spoke. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The Prince casually handed over the paper.

She glanced at it briefly, slightly shaking her head, "They all seem rather ordinary."

"Only ordinary ones," the Prince said.

The Princess sighed, "Then which one should it be? Find a young or gifted one, perhaps."

"Is there even a choice?" the Prince smiled bitterly.

The Princess also found it difficult.

At that moment, just as the Prince was about to sign, suddenly a Hidden Guard appeared.

He respectfully offered a letter, "Your Highness, someone has sent a letter."

"Whose letter?" the Prince frowned.

"From the Cangmu Sect," the Hidden Guard immediately replied.

Upon hearing this, the Prince was a bit surprised.

The Princess immediately took the envelope and opened it.

But the moment she saw the content, she was somewhat incredulous.

"What did she say? Is she ready to revolt?" The Prince’s brows bore a trace of authority.

As if at any moment, he might make a decision impossible to resist for others.

The Princess’s brows moved slightly, and she gently shook her head, handing over the envelope.

After the Prince saw the content, he coldly chuckled, "What does she mean by this? Is she expressing dissatisfaction?"

On the envelope, there were only two words: Gu An.

No other sentence was there.

As long as one wasn’t foolish, they could discern the intent.

She wanted to choose Gu An, and as the Prince, he must appoint Gu An.

Otherwise, anything could happen.

"Does she really think a True Inheritor from Cangmu Sect can protect her?" The Prince’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Then he looked at Chen Qianhu, "What’s the background of Gu An from the First Institute?"

Chen Qianhu immediately replied, "An external member, who has become an Outer Sect disciple, Inner Sect disciple, and finally a Sect Disciple over the past seven to eight years, jumping from Qi Refinement to Golden Core Late Stage.

Later, Cangmu Sect confirmed that he was from the Zhuanlun lineage.

But recently, there have been rumors that he might not actually be a spy from the Zhuanlun lineage; someone might be deliberately smearing him.

Based on his cultivation performance, it seems more than likely he is from the Zhuanlun lineage.

But our people have not yet checked."

The Prince lowered his brow, "No need to check, for now."

As long as it’s unchecked, treat it as not being, and handle it temporarily.

Then he glanced at the list and finally ticked Gu An’s name.

"Hand it over to the Cangmu Sect, first settle the marriage alliance, and also inform them of the Royal Family’s requirements," the Prince said calmly.

Chen Qianhu naturally saw who was on the final list.

He thought it was absolutely impossible for this person.

Never expected such an outcome.

Because of that letter.

But he dared not ask more.
