After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 553 - 359: Is the First Institute the Marriage Partner? That’s Not Reasonable
The expression was calm, like a serene lake surface.
There was a sense of transcendence.
Beside him, there was a monk.
The other had eyes open, with a hint of superiority in them.
Far inferior to the previous monk.
Two monks?
Gu An was perplexed.
However, the cultivation of both monks was not bad, one had reached Returning to Void, and the other...
Looking at the other, Gu An’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Similar realm to his?
No, it should be Returning to Void too, but he had extremely pure Buddha Light within.
His strength was probably comparable to his own.
An expert exceeding their realm.
Gu An knew immediately of the other’s intimidating nature, truly not wise to provoke.
If possible, offering enough might allow him to return.
Consider it as Cangmu Sect’s goodwill towards the Buddhists.
Any monk would be respected a bit.
"Who wants to see me?" Gu An asked.
"It’s my senior brother who wants to see you." The monk on the other side replied.
"Then what is he doing?" Gu An looked at the unmoving monk and inquired.
"Today is my senior brother’s Zen Meditation, no seeing, no speaking." The monk looked at Gu An and said, "So Benefactor must wait until tomorrow."
"Do you know why he’s looking for me?" Gu An asked.
"My senior brother is an accomplished monk with boundless Buddha Skills, able to see through Karma, and believes he has destiny with Benefactor, able to foresee Benefactor’s opportunity and fortune.
The intention was to help Benefactor find destiny and fortune, but unfortunately, today he is meditating." The monk explained.
"Seems this master has a heart." Gu An replied politely, "Tomorrow I am quite busy, tell this master that I will make time next year.
Hope the master adapts here.
Additionally, tell this master whether he has heard of Chi Yin Monk."
After speaking, Gu An saw the monk’s pupils shrink.
He had some understanding.
Indeed.
Then he turned and left.
No wonder he could exceed realms and compare to me, turns out he is a prominent figure.
But why such a prominent figure would disguise as a normal monk and get captured by the sect?
Truly incomprehensible.
"Benefactor, wait a moment, we..."
Before he could continue, the room was covered by Eight Sounds Sealing.
Unable to transmit sound or hear outside noises.
And the little monk’s eye corner twitched twice but ultimately could not open his eyes.
Just his heart was disturbed.
As for the monk, Yue Han and others did not care.
Chen Changfeng was just curious: "Do you say the dean can marry the Commandery Princess? I think the dean is a phoenix among men, his future achievement will surely be beyond reach."
"Not to mention whether your dean can marry the Commandery Princess, but I think it’s not easy for your dean to become a phoenix among men." Yue Han said while eating pastries and drinking tea.
"How would a waste like you know?" Chen Changfeng sneered, then turned to Ye Xiu: "Ye Xiu, don’t you agree?"
"Ridiculous." Ye Xiu rolled his eyes at Chen Changfeng, then shrank back to sleep.
Chen Changfeng: "..."
"Your dean is a good person, and very hardworking, but it is very difficult for him to rise above others." Yue Han said seriously.
"Why is it difficult, can’t good people become such people?" Chen Changfeng retorted disdainfully.
Yue Han put down the teacup and said, "Do you know the saying about eating what you need?
In the Cultivation World, suffering yields bitter results.
Only by consuming others can one rise above them.
Your dean doesn’t consume other people, hence can’t rise above them.
Such a simple truth, didn’t your master teach you?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Changfeng was momentarily stunned, looking at Princess Yue Han in disbelief.
"Being lectured by a waste, even an uneducated waste understands more than you." Princess Yue Han said proudly.
Zhao Qingshan smiled slightly, "Except for cultivation being somewhat average, Princess Yue Han excels in other aspects."
"Of course, being the oldest, you all should be more courteous to me." Yue Han raised her head seriously.
Fairy Qingyao did not know how to evaluate her Princess.
...
Leaving the prison cell, Gu An was indeed a bit surprised.
Unexpectedly, such a prominent figure came here.
Just puzzled why the other would seek him yet play this act.
Trying to turn the tables.
It seems so.
After all, they said he had a great opportunity.
Thus, for this opportunity, it’s not impossible to end up begging them.
Especially as the other truly possessed some abilities.
Perhaps he could truly say something convincing.
Leading to doing something for him.
Unfortunately, Gu An had sufficient self-awareness.
That is, he couldn’t outplay the other, so he did not plan to sit at the table and play against him.
That would be a terrible defeat.
Just drag it on like this.
Wait until they produce useful Buddhist cultivation techniques or Buddhist magic.
Then we can leave smoothly.
Let the other matters go.
Try not to get caught up in this vortex.
Also hope they can spare me, a common person.
Don’t be too concerned with the monk’s matters; this month, still be cautious about myself.
That strong figure is still watching me from the shadows.
The other side hasn’t approached, probably not wanting any extra trouble, waiting for the final result.
Looks like I still need to continue improving.
Besides logging, focus on consolidating my own cultivation.
Only then can I unleash my greatest strength.
Thankfully, with the Qi Sea Sky Gang, I probably won’t be too weak among peers.
Not only that, there’s the Sun and Moon Heart Furnace, providing my confidence.
However, I should take a look at the Qi Sea Heavenly Gang Sixth Volume.
I wonder how many volumes I’ll need to cultivate to reach the end.
...
Three days later.
Above the Cangmu Sect Hall.
Qu Youdao and four others sat in their positions, quietly waiting.
They received news that today is the day the Royal Family sends a message.
In other words, today is the day to reveal the selection for the marriage alliance.
After a moment of silence, Yan Ruxue curiously asked, "Who do you think it will be?"
"Of course, it’s the First Institute." Situ Baichuan spoke.
"Reason?" Qu Youdao asked.
"No reason, I support myself, do I need a reason?" Situ Baichuan said, wiping his sword.
Qu Youdao thought for a moment and said, "I think it’s the Five Institutes. Looks good, not too old, has a decent personality, seems most likely.
Among the short ones, choose the tall one; he’s the most suitable."
Yan Ruxue shook her head: "Actually, none of them are great, but it’s what the Royal Family wants."
"Too pitiful....."
The compassionate Immortal was just about to speak when Situ Baichuan interrupted: "Stop pitying, they’re here."
Upon hearing this, the compassionate Immortal suddenly fell silent, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
Making it seem like she was sad and crying from being interrupted.
At this moment, Chen Qianhu arrived at the hall.
He looked at the four and respectfully greeted, "Greetings to the Peak Masters."
"Make it short." Qu Youdao said with squinted eyes.
The other party didn’t say much, directly handing over the letter and a Storage Treasure: "The selection has been made, hope your sect can protect him well, otherwise it greatly impacts the Royal Family.
Also, you need to finalize the marriage contract soon.
Some resources are in the Storage Treasure, hope the Peak Masters can give it their best."
"Naturally." Qu Youdao accepted the things and said.
This matter is so interesting, naturally, they need to give it their best.
Especially when there are benefits to gain.
Are they the kind who take things and don’t do the task?
Afraid of big matters, but not of things being too small.
Having handed over the items, Chen Qianhu soon left.
Ever since this place became a Demon Sect, he felt immense pressure entering.
With a frowned brow, Qu Youdao was the first to open the letter.
The moment he saw the contents, he was stunned.
A bit unbelievable.
"Who is it?" Situ Baichuan immediately beckoned, and the paper came to his hand.
Looking at it, he laughed: "Haha, it’s indeed the First Institute, didn’t expect I’d be the final winner, I said it was the First Institute; you people don’t have enough insight."
Yan Ruxue and the others also looked at the contents, feeling surprised.
"Why would it be the First Institute? You need to know that he is a spy of the Zhuanlun lineage, whether true or false, the Royal Family should definitely exclude him, how could this happen?" Qu Youdao was puzzled.
Yan Ruxue said: "And he doesn’t look young, what is the Royal Family doing? Completely excluding the Commandery Princess?"
That seems to be the explanation.
Not reasonable.
But didn’t dwell on it.
Qu Youdao reluctantly said: "Since the selection is made, let’s first inform Gu An from the First Institute, then start preparing the marriage documents.
However, this person’s cultivation is improving rather quickly, seems to be hiding cultivation; now at Golden Core Late Stage, could there still be hidden cultivation?"
While speaking, Qu Youdao looked at Situ Baichuan.
The latter casually said, "Would you check a disciple’s cultivation?"
Qu Youdao squinted and said, "Who seriously checks a disciple’s cultivation? Would you check?"
"I don’t check, as long as you don’t check, there might be surprises." Situ Baichuan said with a smile.
For a moment, both of them laughed.
Afterwards, Situ Baichuan stood up and said, "Today, I must go to talk about the marriage alliance with him, and consider whether to take him as a Direct Disciple.
He not only came first but is also involved in various matters; he’s good at attracting trouble.
If such a treasure decides to escape, what should we do?"
