After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 39 - Are You Tricking Me

39: Chapter 39 Are You Tricking Me?

39 -39 Are You Tricking Me?

The Array Plate worth sixty Spirit Stones did not sell.

Gu An did not speak either.

He was silent throughout the whole process, just watching and listening.

For him, it was indeed a broadening experience.

In the future, he would be able to handle similar situations.

Of course, the reason he did not speak was entirely due to his inadequate strength.

It was very likely to cause issues.

Moreover, speaking up in a biased gathering would be a mistake.

It could easily cause trouble for Hua Jiyang.

Therefore, no matter how strong he was, since he was here to gain experience, he might as well keep it simple.

Quietly observing, preparing for the future.

After a brief transaction, Hua Jiyang and the others started chatting.

It was just common things.

Gu An listened without giving any opinions.

But he discerned something.

These people sitting here seemed to be here for more than just their high cultivation.

There was another reason.

They all had other talents.

Such as talisman making, forging, alchemy, brewing, array techniques.

“By the way, does this junior brother of Senior Brother Hua have any specialties?” Feng Mei asked curiously.

The others also looked over.

Old, right?

Gu An answered in his mind.

“Let’s talk about how to become part of the Inner Sect,” Hua Jiyang said with a smile.

With that, the others did not ask further.

But Gu An could feel that they were increasingly indifferent towards him.

Such a circle was indeed not suitable for him.

The gap was too great.

After a long time, the gathering ended.

Hua Jiyang took Gu An and left.

On the way, he asked Gu An:

“How do you feel?”

“Encountering such a situation for the first time, I did gain some insight,” Gu An answered truthfully.

“Did you feel embarrassed?” Hua Jiyang asked with a smile.

Gu An shook his head: “Their disdain is natural, reasonable.

But it was indeed good to witness how the strong interact.”

“Will you come next time?” Hua Jiyang asked.

“Better not,” Gu An shook his head and refused.

Their disdain was indeed unrelated to Hua Jiyang, but he wasn’t a masochist.

“Still saying it doesn’t matter,” Hua Jiyang laughed: “Remember them, though their horizons might be higher, but in case there’s a need, at least you can find the right people.

Of course, whether they are willing to help is another matter.”

Hearing this, Gu An nodded.

At least he knew them and wouldn’t be like a headless fly.

“But you did feel uncomfortable, take this as a gift,” Hua Jiyang said as he handed over the unsold Array Plate and a book to Gu An.

Gu An knew the Array Plate, worth sixty Spirit Stones.

And the book. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

He glanced at it, and it had four big characters — Wanxiang Senluo.

With three smaller characters on the side — Qi Breathing Chapter.

“This is…” Gu An looked somewhat astonished at the person before him.

“Don’t be fooled by the name, it’s actually a Cultivation Technique for hiding your cultivation, and it’s just the beginning.

Seeing you like hiding, I’m giving it to you,” Hua Jiyang carefully said: “Consider it an apology for the insult you suffered.”

Gu An was somewhat dazed.

Senior Brother Hua was too kind to him, and he didn’t know what he wanted to do.

In this world, there is no such thing as unprovoked kindness.

But he couldn’t guess what the other party was after.

Yet he needed these things.

To buy, it seemed he didn’t have enough Spirit Stones.

“Don’t overthink it, I didn’t intend to make you do anything, if you’re worried, just lend a hand within your capabilities if I need help in the future.

The people earlier have all received my help,” Hua Jiyang said offhandedly.

“Why?” Gu An looked at the person before him: “I can’t do anything.”

“But you’re old,” Hua Jiyang said with a smile: “It’s rare to see someone as old as you with such average cultivation.

It indeed shows my respect for the elderly.”

Hesitating a bit, Gu An bowed his head and gratefully said: “Thank you, Senior Brother.”

Returning to the Sect, they parted ways.

Gu An returned smoothly to his residence.

Passing by Ren Shan’s place, he found that she and her daughter were still there.

Just that they didn’t dare to come out.

Once in his own courtyard, Gu An heaved a sigh of relief.

This trip outside, although somewhat awkward, had yielded quite a few gains.

It could be considered a good thing.

However, just as he had sat down, he heard footsteps outside.

Soon after, the door was pushed open.

Chu Meng, munching on peanuts, came in again.

Gu An felt relieved in his heart.

“How come senior has come again?”

“What do you think?”

Chu Meng’s expression was both smiling yet not.

Gu An looked at her but didn’t speak.

Chu Meng also looked back.

Their gazes met, in a stand-off.

Finally, Gu An sighed, “Senior’s information network is really accurate.”

“It’s not about accuracy.

There are many watching Ren Shan, but no one really thought about killing them, considering her husband might not truly be dead.

You, on the other hand, directly chopped off the other party’s arm and almost killed her,” Chu Meng reproached.

“Senior didn’t make it clear,” Gu An frowned.

Wasn’t this setting him up?

“Who made you not think it through?

The person that despicable woman targets means the other people targeting her aren’t much better.

Why do you think those people didn’t go that far?” Chu Meng asked, shrugging his shoulders.

“Isn’t it fear of the Law Enforcement Hall?” Gu An countered.

“It’s strange that there aren’t many who act heavy-handed despite fearing the Law Enforcement Hall, don’t you think?” Chu Meng rolled her eyes.

Gu An furrowed his brow: “Aren’t you setting me up?”

“That’s why I came to save you.” Chu Meng smiled, “Give me the items.

I’ll just say bluntly that I forcefully took them from you.”

Gu An handed over the books: “I don’t even know if they’re real or fake.”

Upon receiving the books, Chu Meng took a look and curiously remarked, “Blank?”

“Yes, cannot be destroyed by fire or anything else,” Gu An replied.

He had originally thought it would be secret books of cultivation techniques and had planned to decode them.

This was what he needed.

He hadn’t expected Chu Meng to arrive so quickly.

“It doesn’t quite feel real, I’ll take it back and see,” Chu Meng said while rubbing her hands: “Come outside and take my palm strike, don’t be afraid, it’s just pretend.

Then pretend to be weak for a few days, pretend that the despicable woman stole it.

The rest is up to you.”

A moment later.

Boom!

Gu An weakly returned to his room.

Only after using a Healing Talisman was he able to breathe a sigh of relief.

He suspected Chu Meng was intentionally retaliating against him.

Nevertheless, there would certainly be much trouble to follow.

He needed to be cautious.

After setting up the Array Plate, Gu An returned to his house and started perusing Wanxiang Senluo.

Wanxiang Senluo was short, yet difficult.

After reading it through once, Gu An frowned, this thing couldn’t be learned all at once.

If there were no progress, it wouldn’t be possible to enhance his magic numerically.

At least, he needed to understand the beginning.

After one night.

Only then did Gu An see some clues; Wanxiang Senluo was about understanding one’s own power and then learning to display one’s power.

Displaying less made the cultivation seem weak, displaying more made it seem strong.

Such understanding equated to continuously revising one’s existing cultivation.

It was quite helpful for improving strength.

“Good stuff, just can’t learn it for now.”

He could only wait until he learned Qi Sea Sky Gang.

At most a month.

He could only continue to strive patiently.

However, today, as soon as he stepped outside, he saw three people standing by the pond outside.

Seemingly watching the fish play.

But Gu An knew they were waiting for him.

It was just unclear whether they were here directly for that secret or to “borrow” Spirit Stones.
