After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 173: So What If I Hit Him?

Looking at the person coming towards him, Gu An was not surprised at all.

After all, he had known this already.

This person looked exceedingly burly.

To maintain such a robust body while logging here, it seemed his strength was not weak.

Of course, the opponent didn’t log much; if he logged as he himself did.

He would likely be far inferior.

He also looked young, in his early thirties.

Very impressive.

Whether at the Foundation Establishment or Golden Core stages.

The younger one is, the faster the promotion speed.

Thus, even though he himself was at the Golden Core stage, he still seemed mediocre among his peers.

After all, an elderly Golden Core is different from a youthful Golden Core.

One has waning Qi-Blood, barely maintaining the Golden Core.

The other has thriving Qi-Blood, achieving Golden Core in one leap.

Their strength, and their futures, varied greatly.

"Are you here to settle the Spirit Stones?" Gu An politely initiated.

The visitor looked at Gu An and said, "You’re not young anymore, are you?"

"Yes, not young indeed." Gu An nodded.

He no longer mentioned that he was in his forties.

Because many people didn’t quite believe it.

A Golden Core in his forties?

That old?

Impossible.

"You must be in great need of Spirit Stones," Hu Li spoke.

Gu An nodded: "I am indeed short on Spirit Stones."

Although he had quite a few Spirit Stones, earning a hundred from half a month of logging, he genuinely needed them.

"You lack Spirit Stones, we need people for logging, getting Spirit Stones for working for us should be a great opportunity for you," Hu Li looked at Gu An and earnestly said,

"But since you’re working for us, you naturally need a good attitude, of course, we won’t shortchange you on Spirit Stones.

However, you should understand, as a qualified merchant, one worries whether the workers are dedicated completely.

Therefore, to improve your dedication to our work.

We need to withhold fifty Spirit Stones.

To be disbursed next month.

This way, it’s good for both you and us.

What do you say?"

"Don’t joke, Senior Brother," Gu An politely responded, "This logging is too arduous; I have no intention of continuing to log indefinitely. After this month, I do not plan to help with logging."

Hearing this, Hu Li frowned: "Junior Brother, these aren’t wise words. I’ve heard you’re not well regarded within the Sect; you know if you want to work well in the back courtyard, you need to maintain good relationships.

Otherwise, many things can’t be accomplished; surely, Junior Brother wouldn’t want to find it difficult to move a step anywhere?

The pain of being excluded alone, Junior Brother must understand.

Higher-ups’ orders might come too late, local situations might not be known immediately.

Then being scolded, rebuked, even life-threatening situations may occur.

It’s better if we support each other.

Do well in logging for us, and we will naturally treat you as one of our own.

You wouldn’t want disturbances during logging, would you?"

"Senior Brother’s lesson is appreciated," Gu An earnestly said, "Could you give me the agreed Spirit Stones now?"

"Spirit Stones are not the most important thing; what matters is the camaraderie between fellow disciples. With camaraderie, Spirit Stones are not so important," Hu Li looked at Gu An and spoke, "Are our camaraderie and these few dozen Spirit Stones not comparable?

It can’t be that people in the Sect despise camaraderie so much?"

Gu An looked at the person before him and sighed: "Senior Brother, how about you give me the Spirit Stones first?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Li frowned and coldly said: "Junior Brother has gotten old, huh? Can’t understand human speech anymore? I said next month, what do you mean by asking repeatedly?

Am I not in your eyes?"

Gu An calmly took a step forward, then suddenly kicked out.

In the opponent’s moment of astonishment, Gu An’s foot heavily landed on his abdomen.

With a thud.

Hu Li felt a huge impact as his entire body was sent flying.

The wind howled; before Hu Li had even landed, Gu An slapped down.

Slap!

Thud!

The opponent’s cheek twisted, crashing into the Blood God Wood.

Directly shaking the tree.

"You’re courting death," Hu Li bellowed, his Qi-Blood erupting, blasting out a punch.

Gu An watched the incoming fist and threw a punch of his own as well.

Boom!

Fists collided.

Seeing this, Hu Li was overjoyed.

Comparing fists with him?

Like an egg striking a rock.

Crack!

During his moment of pride, the sound of bones breaking echoed.

Hearing this, Hu Li was stunned, then intense pain assailed him.

Bang! His arm flaily heavily, smashing into a tree.

Blood then burst forth.

With a bang, his bones broke.

As he screamed, another slap landed on his face.

Smack!

His face twisted, then his teeth fell out.

Bang! He collapsed to the ground entirely.

Just as he was about to rise, a foot followed.

Boom!

It landed squarely on his head.

Pressing his head into the soil.

Thus, Gu An withdrew his foot, looking down at a terrified Hu Li and said, "Junior Brother, are you alright? It’s better to call me Senior Brother in the future.

How about that?"

"You...."

Bang!

Another foot came down, this time landing on his legs.

Crack!

His leg bone broke.

Screams followed.

Gu An’s reminder also came through: "Call me Senior Brother."

"Senior, Senior Brother." Hu Li did not dare to hesitate any longer.

"Where are my Spirit Stones?" Gu An asked.

Sixty Spirit Stones landed directly in front of Gu An.

Thus, Gu An collected the Spirit Stones and turned to leave: "Junior Brother is really straightforward, looking forward to our next transaction."

He didn’t do anything more.

Beating someone up is not serious.

Definitely can’t kill, with his current status, killing people is troublesome.

He has only killed people twice within the Sect.

Once he went to the Exile Land, once at Qianchen Peak where it’s difficult to move an inch.

However, both times there was that woman’s presence, so he could escape disaster.

This time there was no such woman’s presence, so it was just a lesson.

If your cultivation is high, you just endure it and get past.

With the same cultivation, bullying once means it could happen countless times.

What should be fought for still needs to be fought for.

The only trouble is, he doesn’t have any hidden cultivation.

This...

Lacks a sense of security.

Still, should focus on improving cultivation first.

The next day.

Gu An just walked out of his room.

The first day of September.

Gu An thought to himself, it’s been almost three years since joining the Sect.

He’s already forty-eight years old.

In a few months, he’ll be forty-nine.

Today is the day to collect resources, planning to go back and pick them up.

Then go give some food to Noodles.

But just as he stepped out, he saw a group of people standing outside.

Sitting in front was a man looking frail,

It was yesterday’s Junior Brother.

Hu Li.

Beside him sat a middle-aged man with a stable aura and vigorous Qi-Blood.

Very strong.

At least in the Golden Core Late Stage.

His cultivation is somewhat weaker than Song Feng, but probably not by much.

Most likely, he is the leader of the second team.

But he was just sitting aside, seemingly just stabilizing the scene.

Beside Hu Li stood an Immortal, stronger than an Early Stage Golden Core cultivation but far from Song Feng’s.

Most likely in the Golden Core Middle Stage.

However, no matter what, he is no match for these people.

Them coming directly to his door collectively was unexpected.

He thought there would only be some tripping up.

"Gu An?" The Immortal spoke coldly, her voice booming with power:

"Do you admit your guilt?"
