After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 558 - 362: The Marriage Partner’s Scandalous Life

Heavenly Suspension Peak.

Pang Wen trudged up the mountain path.

The Sword Dao Gang Qi along the way made it difficult for him to advance with his cultivation level.

The mountain is entirely different from the land below.

Usually, only those with outstanding cultivation or who become a Peak Master’s disciple are eligible to ascend the mountain.

Ordinary Inner Sect members with Golden Core cultivation lack the qualification to come to the mountainside of each peak.

Pang Wen coming up naturally attracted the attention of many.

Others were curious about what he intended to do upon the mountain.

Some simply wanted to watch him make a fool of himself.

"Who is this? With such a cultivation level, he dares to come up? His Golden Core Mid-stage cultivation is still quite weak, and his talent is average."

"What’s so surprising? Aren’t there people like this every month?"

"Yet none are as fragile as he."

"The destiny isn’t yet decided, let’s go."

Along the way, Pang Wen heard many unkind voices.

But he was indeed weak.

Even with Zhao Qingshan’s guidance, even with the First Institute’s resources.

But he was truly not strong, neither was his talent comparable to the disciples from the mountain.

At that moment, he suddenly understood why the leader didn’t often return.

Soon.

Pang Wen ascended the mountain and respectfully asked the guarding Senior Brother.

Inquiring about the leader’s residence.

The other was a bit surprised but eventually pointed out the location.

Pang Wen didn’t dare hesitate, rushing quickly.

If he was any later, it might be too late.

The guard watched him leave, somewhat surprised: "He’s someone from the First Institute; logically, the First Institute should be thriving, but it looks like something happened."

He immediately passed the news to familiar acquaintances.

Perhaps they could try to win over Gu An.

Currently, Gu An is the core of the First Institute.

Though his cultivation is average, and he doesn’t look particularly young.

But he was favored by the Royal Family.

That makes him different.

As for whether he would be mocked for this, there definitely would be.

After all, what kind of people don’t exist in this world?

Just as long as one thinks that he’s a worthless person within the Royal Family, not worthy of their seriousness, then they would laugh at him.

But looking from another perspective, even if he’s a waste, he’s still linked to the Royal Family’s face and chosen by the Sect.

Can everyone just target him, disregarding the Royal Family’s and Sect’s reputation?

"Do you think someone will hassle Junior Brother Gu An?" Another guard beside him curiously asked.

The directing guard pondered for a moment and replied, "Certainly, there will be."

The other guard was puzzled, "He’s a spy for the Zhuanlun lineage, renowned in the Merit Hall, a marriage partner for the Royal Family, the First Institute’s De facto Master, a disciple of the Master, and though his cultivation is ordinary, his status is evident. Who would dare cause trouble?

No one can be foolish enough to meet Junior Brother Gu by accident, right?"

The directing guard chuckled and said, "There aren’t many fools in the world, but those who aren’t foolish won’t actively cause trouble; how would they encounter him? So a person meets mostly fools, and the possibility is quite high.

Hopefully, the people of Heavenly Suspension Peak are wiser, or else this will be a slap in the Peak Master’s face.

Then they’ll have to fend for themselves."

...

On the other side.

Gu An sat quietly by the lakeside, casually tossing peanuts.

He needs to stabilize his mind and then handle the subsequent events.

The situation being as it is, he can only proceed orderly.

Afterwards, he’ll deal with future events.

First, strive to become stronger; perhaps there’s still a chance.

While he still tossed peanuts, Pang Wen suddenly appeared by the lakeside.

Gu An was slightly surprised.

The other seemed a bit flustered, arriving in a hurry.

It appears something has happened.

"Leader, something terrible has occurred." Pang Wen immediately said.

Upon hearing, Gu An remained calm and asked, "What is the matter?"

Normally, with the First Institute at its peak, trouble is unlikely.

"Shu... Shu Ci Junior Sister has been captured." Pang Wen quickly said, "It’s by the Law Enforcement Hall. They took Shu Ci Junior Sister away early and accused her of being a spy sent by another Sect."

Gu An was slightly surprised, why capture a spy now?

Especially targeting a spy from the First Institute.

Gu An’s first thought was of Senior Sister Tang Lan.

But would they really break ties with him at this time?

Before the list was out, acting had a chance of success, now it’s pointless.

Even so, they would struggle to capture Chen Changfeng.

Without further thought, Gu An looked at Pang Wen and said, "Does Junior Brother believe Shu Ci Junior Sister is not a spy?"

Hearing this, Pang Wen was taken aback, momentarily unsure of how to respond, hesitated and said: 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Once inside the Law Enforcement Hall, it’s hard to come back out. Shu Ci Junior Sister has been dedicated to the First Institute these days, with no betrayal whatsoever.

She wholeheartedly supports the second team and the First Institute, hoping the leader can... can..."

Pang Wen bowed, his head almost touching the ground: "Hoping the leader could lend a hand."

Gu An looked at the person before him, calmly saying, "You trust her."

Pang Wen wished to say more, but Gu An merely gestured dismissively and asked, "She was captured by the Law Enforcement Hall? Who arrested her?"

"I don’t know, but it should not be ordinary enforcement members; Yang Qi said the attire is at least of Senior Brother Dugu’s level." Pang Wen explained.

Gu An nodded and asked, "When was she captured?"

"This morning, they might have started interrogating already." Pang Wen replied.

If interrogated, a mishap could occur.

Intervening too late greatly increases the danger.

Actually, he knew, rescuing someone from the Law Enforcement Hall is exceedingly difficult.

But...

He had no choice but to find the leader.

"You go wait in front of the Law Enforcement Hall." Gu An instructed.

Pang Wen hesitated, finally nodding in understanding.

He dared not inquire further.

Soon he arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall entrance, waiting quietly.

Yet he paced unconsciously.

He had no idea what would transpire inside.

Nor why the leader let him wait at the entrance.
