After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In

Chapter 36 - 36 36 Envious of Your Old Age Yet Having a Springtime

?36: Chapter 36: Envious of Your Old Age Yet Having a Springtime 36: Chapter 36: Envious of Your Old Age Yet Having a Springtime Chu Meng, while eating peanuts, said disdainfully, “At your age, you still don’t cherish the opportunity.

Such a beauty, you’ve never encountered in your life, right?

Just now, if you had brought her in, would you have been afraid of not completing the task?”

“How to complete it?” Gu An asked.

“How else to complete it?

Teach her how to be a woman.” Chu Meng looked at Gu An in astonishment and said, “You couldn’t, could you?

Or is it simply not quite up to par?”

Gu An ignored the question and directly asked, “How did the senior come here?”

“I walked here.

You just didn’t notice because of your weak cultivation,” Chu Meng casually replied.

She shared half of her peanuts with Gu An and said, “Want some?

The show just now was pretty good to watch; that woman was pretty cheap, too.

It’s a pity you ran into that bitch.

Nobody is cheaper than that bitch.

Otherwise, she might have succeeded just now.”

After taking the peanuts, Gu An tried them, and they tasted quite good.

He was somewhat curious, “Is there a mission?”

“No,” Chu Meng answered.

“Then, has the mission changed?”

“Not that either.”

Hearing this, Gu An was somewhat surprised, “Normally, a contact person would not come here.”

“You know about what normally happens?” Chu Meng jumped onto a seat and sat down, saying:

“I just joined the bitch’s group, don’t know anyone, just know you, shouldn’t I come over and shoot the breeze to ease the restlessness inside?”

Gu An looked at her, not believing such words at all.

Hesitating a bit, he curiously asked, “Are people in the sect very skilled at the Charming Technique?”

“Does the Charming Technique not work on you?” Chu Meng retorted.

“It works,” Gu An admitted indubitably.

“Did that woman use it on you?”

“She did.”

“Did it fail?”

“It failed.”

“Why?”

“My heart is set on the path; women only slow down my cultivation.”

Hearing this, Chu Meng burst out laughing, “You’re halfway to the grave, still struggling with Qi Refinement, and you say such things without feeling ashamed?”

Gu An didn’t pay attention to her, simply asking, “Does senior have any other matters?”

“I want to know how you plan to complete the mission,” Chu Meng stared into the distance and said,

“Today, you fell out with that woman.

Originally, she wanted to use you, but now that she can’t use you, she’ll most likely tell others that she has already handed over the secret to you and remove herself from the situation.”

“That really is troublesome,” Gu An said, feigning concern.

“What do you plan to do?” Chu Meng asked.

Gu An looked at the person in front of him calmly and said, “The junior doesn’t know; I’m unable to provide a satisfactory answer to senior.”

“It seems like you don’t really like me,” Chu Meng said, wiping her hands after finishing the peanuts.

“No, it’s just that the junior knows that in the Cultivation World, there are no unprovoked benefits, so it’s better to like someone stable,” Gu An replied.

“We have been acquainted for so long, we have some feelings for each other; can’t hate transform into love?

With hatred growing into love,” Chu Meng looked at Gu An seriously.

It seemed she was daring in both love and hate; perhaps he shouldn’t be overly rigid in ordinary situations.

Gu An glanced at his status panel, charmed again.

“Do you think this possibility is high, or is it more likely that when Ren Shan is at her most vulnerable, I appear out of nowhere, rescue her from misery and say ‘Don’t be afraid, I am here’, thus increasing the probability of her hate transforming into love?” Gu An retorted.

“So, this is your subsequent plan?” Chu Meng covered her mouth and giggled, “Are you already thinking about how to proceed after you get the girl?

I envy you, still looking forward to springtime at your age.”

Gu An: “…”

Not to praise or criticize, but you really don’t know how to speak.

Later, Chu Meng said a quick ‘good luck’ and left swiftly.

Gu An ate the peanuts in his hand in silence.

He couldn’t quite figure out this Chu Meng.

This person was all a blur, and even their personality wasn’t normal.

It made him feel uneasy.

The previous contact was better.

Ten years without showing up, and when they appear, it’s to provide an antidote.

“Unfortunately, this well-connected person ended up on the wrong side, which dragged them into trouble as well.

Had Lu Ruan been our connection, it wouldn’t have been bad either.

She looks down on us and wouldn’t bother us anyway.

Gu An sat by the pond for a long time, and when it was almost dark, he entered the room.

On the other side.

In Ren Shan’s dwelling.

After coaxing her daughter to sleep, she came to the window and looked in Gu An’s direction, eventually sighing:

“Why can’t things go as expected?

Why must you do this?

It wouldn’t hurt to just block for us.

In the end, you would have received our gratitude.

Now that you aren’t willing, to protect ourselves, we naturally need to take new measures.

Everyone has to choose their path; if you won’t protect us, then we can only make you protect us.”

Muttering to herself, she moved to sit at the table.

She took out a sheet of paper and set it down, then started to grind ink for herself.

After a moment of contemplation, she began to write.

‘Senior Sister, have you been well these days?

Junior Sister is exhausted from safeguarding her husband’s secrets but still can’t escape from those intent on pursuing us.

I thought coming to the desolate Outer Sect would help us avoid this misfortune.

Voluntarily leaving should have signaled that we no longer harbor any desire for conflict.

Sadly, there weren’t any good people to be seen.

Catastrophe seems to specifically target the unfortunate.

Here, though harassed by some Senior Brothers, life was tolerable.

But it turns out that Gu An, who was ostensibly kind to us, approached us with ulterior motives.

He frequently got closer to Guoguo, making her drop her guard against him, until finally…’

At this point, a clear tear fell.

It seems she had to compromise for her daughter’s sake.

‘I guarded that secret for many years, yet he still took it; maybe soon he will also kill me to silence the truth.

I have spent my life wandering without complaint or regret, but I cannot let go of my concern for my daughter.

I hope that based on our years of camaraderie at the Sect, you will save my daughter after I am silenced.’

Ren Shan wrote much more, checked it again, and then signed.

Ren Shan’s final letter.

Having completed this, she placed the letter in a brocade bag.

Then she summoned a hawk-like spirit beast.

She stroked the hawk and said with emotion, ‘This will be a hard burden for you.’

After hanging the brocade bag on it, she heavily tossed it into the air.

Watching the spirit pet soar, Ren Shan’s lips slightly curved upwards: ‘With this, those who are watching me will surely shoot it down, and that cold-hearted Senior Brother will take the fall.’

While she was thinking this.

Suddenly, the sound of a sword shrilled.

Clang!

A surge of Gang Qi soared into the sky and struck the hawk.

Followed by its miserable screech.

The spirit beast that had already flown high began to fall rapidly.

Whoosh!

A figure leaped up and caught the falling spirit beast.

And took the brocade bag from it.

This sudden change stunned Ren Shan, but she quickly calmed down.

It was meant to be shot down anyway; it just happened sooner.

Now, that person, looking at the letter inside the brocade bag, was walking step by step towards her.

It was a moonless night, so she couldn’t see clearly.

Only when that person entered the courtyard, under the candlelight, a vague silhouette was cast.

Seeing this, Ren Shan’s pupils shrank.

‘Immortal, you have good handwriting.’ entered Gu An, putting away the letter with a smile on his face.”
