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

Chapter 69 - 69 69 I'll Collect the Body

?69: Chapter 69 I’ll Collect the Body 69: Chapter 69 I’ll Collect the Body In the room,

Gu An is also eating beef.

Chu Meng somehow procured this stuff.

It tastes not bad.

And the wine is even better, infused with Spiritual Energy.

Definitely nourishing for the body.

Can’t deny, the person before me is practically from another world.

I don’t even splurge on good stuff, yet he snacks on it like nothing.

Back in Spirit Tree Garden, ordinary Cultivators still had to eat, but most of them had normal food.

Only a few had Spirit Rice.

Even in the Sect, there are still those who eat normal food.

Gu An is one of them.

It’s not that he can’t afford it, he just never felt the need.

Saving where he can; he relies not on this to cultivate.

While eating, he suddenly hears Chu Meng’s question.

Stunned him for a moment.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Ren Shan was driven to death by him.

And Guoguo must have witnessed it when Ren Shan was severely injured.

Such a memory would grow alongside Guoguo.

Gradually, the vague memory would morph into the belief that he was her mother’s killer.

Truly a hidden harm.

“So, are you planning to keep her?” Chu Meng casually asked,

Seemingly indifferent about the life or death of a child.

“What do you think, senior?” Gu An responded.

“I think you should keep her,” stated Chu Meng solemnly:

“You are getting on in years, tough to find company, and nobody to attend your last moments.

If I am a bit harsh on her, you treat her well, sometimes giving her some resources.

When she grows up, she will definitely attend your last moments.

This way you’ll spend less on supporting fallen Immortals.

It’s a guaranteed win.”

Gu An looked bewildered at the person before him, thinking silently, thanks for considering so much for me.

Then he said, “Didn’t you mention handling my remains, senior?”

“Handling remains won’t attend to your last moments or accompany you in your later years,” Chu Meng said nonchalantly, adding shortly: “But you could choose to fancy me, then getting your remains handled by your beloved could also be a consolation.

I am good-looking, and I have many suitors.

You wouldn’t be at a loss.”

Really, thank you, Gu An silently thanked.

However, Ren Shan’s daughter did indeed require some thought.

Killing her was naturally not his desire.

Ultimately, it has not yet come to that.

If it truly reached that point and she had grown up,

If then she really sought her own death, he wouldn’t have objections.

But to repress her dreams and provide assistance,

Isn’t necessary.

“Senior might as well treat her as usual, there’s no need to intentionally do anything,” said Gu An.

“At your age, still so merciful, wasn’t like that when you were killing before,” Chu Meng snacked on peanuts and declared, “You are pretty much an old man now, once she grows up, you genuinely may not be a match for her.”

Hearing this, Gu An seriously replied: “Senior, I’m not that old.

If forty-something counts as elderly, it’s just youthfully elderly.

Fifty-something would be young elderly.

Sixty-something is middle-aged elderly.

It’s only seventy-something that counts as truly elderly.”

Listening to Gu An’s logic, Chu Meng eating food was stunned into stillness.

Then recovered to say: “Suddenly, I remembered, you’re indeed a tricky one,

Stuck here in the early stage of Qi Refining, huh?”

Gu An kept eating, not addressing the question.

However, he had another question he wanted to ask, “Senior, how does one become an Inner Sect Disciple?”

Chu Meng picked up the last piece of meat and answered:

“The Inner Sect recruits from the Outer Sect once a year.

The next time will be in June.

The intended recruits are at the Foundation Establishment stage.

But those at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining can also try their luck.

You, this youthfully elderly fellow, don’t need to bother, unless it’s Foundation Establishment, you’re probably no match for others at the same stage.”

Of course, apart from the standard recruitment in June, there are also special recruitments.

“If an elder or Peak Master of the Inner Sect takes a liking to you, they can also send you to the Inner Sect in advance.”

Gu An nodded, just like the three geniuses who entered the last time, they could directly enter the Inner Sect.

After contemplating for a moment, he continued: “So, senior, do you think someone like me could be favored by the elders?”

“No,” Chu Meng said earnestly, “Don’t ask why, asking is only humiliating yourself.

You can only go through the standard recruitment process.

If not this year, then you’ll have to wait until next year.

Moreover, achieving Foundation Establishment is not easy; whether you can achieve it next year is still uncertain.

Some people are stuck here for a lifetime.”

Gu An nodded.

He was not in a hurry.

Entering the Inner Sect now probably wouldn’t be safe, given that he had just achieved Foundation Establishment and would be the weakest.

Once he provoked someone or encountered a task, he simply wouldn’t be a match for others.

It would be better to stay in the Outer Sect a little longer.

Wait until he had sufficient strength, then enter the Inner Sect.

Even if there were tasks, they wouldn’t be at the Foundation Establishment level.

It was also possible that by then, he could gather eight or nine Fragments.

By then, entering the Inner Sect, he could directly head to Luo Sheng Hall.

“However, you’re also lucky because the recruitment of disciples is about to begin, so the capable people of the Outer Sect are all preparing to cope.

They want to enter the Inner Sect as soon as possible,” Chu Meng continued while eating peanuts, “so some people in charge outside won’t handle the matters regarding Qing Chenxi and Zheng Xiu personally.

After all, entering the Inner Sect is more urgent.

And those remaining are not as capable as these two.

Naturally, no one dares to handle it.

So it will just be coldly dealt with.

Over time, no one will mention it.”

Hearing this, Gu An let out a sigh of relief.

It seemed that he shouldn’t have any problems.

After finishing the peanuts, Chu Meng stood up and said:

“Alright, I’m going back.

You keep up the hard work.”

Saying this, Chu Meng walked to the door, then turned back and said, “I remember asking you to call me senior sister, right?”

“Yes,” Gu An nodded in affirmation.

“Then why do you call me senior?” Chu Meng asked.

“It’s to express my respect for my senior,” Gu An explained.

“Alright, you meant well,” Chu Meng nodded and said:

“No need next time.”

Gu An nodded.

He didn’t take her words to heart.

He had quite a few grievances with Chu Meng.

Although they were now working for the same person, conflicts were inevitable.

If he was presumptuous, she might take private revenge.

It would simply be a waste of a Healing Talisman.

Better not to give her the chance.

After Chu Meng left, Gu An felt that he needed to find a way to obtain a Foundation Establishment Technique.

If he couldn’t enter the Inner Sect this year, he’d have to rush for next year.

Otherwise, if the people behind Qing Chenxi suddenly remembered him, it could bring trouble.

After feeding the Big Eye Fish some food, Gu An returned to his room.

He organized his secret books.

First was “One Leaf Knows Autumn,” a Swordsmanship.

Not incredibly powerful, but passable.

Second was “Soul-shocking Finger,” aimed at Spiritual Attacks.

Quite effective if used well.

Third was “Planting Beans into Soldiers,” this technique should be quite good.

He hadn’t checked it yet.

Fourth was “Wanxiang Senluo, Seven Emotions and Six Desires,” very useful but hard to learn.

Currently, the techniques he needed to learn were these four.

“Seven Emotions and Six Desires” needed the highest priority.

Then came “Planting Beans into Soldiers.”

The rest would depend on opportunity.

After making the decision, Gu An closed his eyes to rest first.

He still had to strive for the Foundation Establishment Technique.

It wasn’t going to be easy.
