After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 195 - 189: A Promotion for Me?

Gu An stabilized his Qi and then looked towards the door.

He did not know who was approaching.

However, the fact that he could perceive it so clearly meant it probably wasn’t a very powerful person.

The stars had completely disappeared, and others in the Sealed Land were also unable to detect it.

He observed the surroundings again, and once sure that everything was fine, Gu An took a deep breath and asked, "Who is it?"

It was too obvious, and pretending not to notice would be far too fake.

"Senior Brother, it’s me." A voice of an unfamiliar Immortal came from outside.

Gu An opened the door and saw an Immortal who looked about twenty-five or twenty-six, standing there somewhat nervously.

Perfect Foundation Establishment cultivation.

Gu An did not recognize her.

The Immortal looked at Gu An and respectfully asked, "Are you Senior Brother Gu An?"

Gu An looked carefully; indeed, the person was at Perfect Foundation Establishment.

This was somewhat unexpected.

Not a spy.

He nodded afterward.

Seeing this, the Immortal immediately said, "Senior Brother, I am a new member of the second team. I came because Leader Hou wants to see you."

Gu An was quite surprised, "Leader Hou wants to see me?"

This made Gu An curious about what the other party wanted to do.

However, there was no way he could refuse a meeting with the leader.

Closing the door, Gu An followed the Immortal to Leader Hou’s residence.

The leader’s residence was also in the back courtyard but they had separate quarters.

Located relatively towards the back.

Arriving at the back, Gu An saw two courtyards.

One was Song Leader’s, and the other was Leader Hou’s.

Gu An followed her into the left courtyard and upon entering, he noticed there were just four people.

One at the Golden Core Early Stage.

Two at Perfect Foundation Establishment, one at Late-stage Foundation Establishment.

"The leader is inside waiting for you, Senior Brother," the guiding Immortal said.

Gu An didn’t pay attention to the four people outside and walked straight in.

The guiding Immortal did not enter.

Gu An sensed around; indeed, he did not feel anything wrong.

Of course, there was a problem with one of those four people, but it was not the time to worry about it.

Inside the room, Gu An saw a middle-aged man with a pale face sitting in his place, his eyes exceptionally spirited.

"I’ve seen Leader Hou," Gu An greeted respectfully.

The other was also at Golden Core Perfection, but his physical status was very poor.

It seems he would not be able to do much soon and could only return to the Sect to recuperate peacefully.

"All people of the second team are here," Leader Hou looked at Gu An and said, "Besides me, there are only two other Golden Cores left, our second team will soon have no one available."

Gu An lowered his head and seriously said, "Following the leader, they will eventually grow."

"Me?" Leader Hou looked at Gu An, self-deprecatingly said, "My body isn’t holding up well, it might be years before I can manage you guys. Besides, with severe injuries, there will probably be people who gradually disobey me."

"Leader, don’t say that," Gu An said lowly.

"I’ve already sent a message to the Main Court, to let you temporarily take over as leader while I return to the Sect to recuperate, perhaps for a year, or maybe three.

The second team will be handed over to you then," Leader Hou said softly.

Hearing this, Gu An was stunned, and incredulously said, "Leader, this must not be."

He didn’t want to take on such troublesome matter.

Moreover, who has ever heard of a leader constantly logging?

Not to mention now with a huge mess on his hands, it would be even more troublesome.

The logging he wanted to do later would be many times harder than it is now.

Especially since he was being targeted, difficult tasks would soon come his way.

Additionally, the team was not easy to lead.

They simply would not submit to him.

What if there was a collective transfer, how would he handle it?

"There’s nothing impossible, no one else in the second team is more suitable than you," Leader Hou sighed:

"If there were a choice, I wouldn’t choose you, after all, no one in the entire Sect has more enemies than you.

The second team will be in a tough situation given to you.

Yet if not you, the second team will not be able to survive."

"Leader, what talent or virtue do I have," Gu An sighed.

"What talent or virtue?" Leader Hou smiled:

"Others are not like you, both your previous hardships and the targeting afterwards, your performance was much stronger than others.

Besides, a person who has made it from the Outer Sect to the Inner Sect shouldn’t be taken simply.

Otherwise, why do you think Song Feng and the rest are nice to you?

Mostly because they fear you.

Although I don’t understand where exactly your advantage lies, but surely it’s not something we can provoke lightly.

Right?

So handing the second team to you, at times it may bring fear, but more often it’s the targeting.

But..."

Leader Hou looked at Gu An earnestly, "You are probably not a person who would just sit and wait for death."

Gu An frowned, he really had no intention of being the leader.

"Don’t be in a hurry to refuse," Leader Hou looked at Gu An, "Our team completing missions garners merits, the higher the merits, the more stable you are in the Sect. And as a leader, as long as the team is stable, you can still log as you like.

Besides, as a leader, it’s not just a hundred Spirit Stones but two hundred.

The merits are also doubled.

If the mission is well completed, in one year, your merits could be enough to have people from the Merit Hall come to visit you.

At that time, the people targeting you will have to seriously weigh their own strength.

As far as I know, some people in the Sect are unable to confront you directly, still fearing that blade, but that blade will only last two or three more years.

What do you plan to do then?"

Gu An was silent for a while.

What the other said made some sense.

Nevertheless, he was still hesitating.

But soon, Leader Hou ended his hesitation.

Leader Hou coughed lightly and said, "I’m severely injured, now I’m actively lifting you up, if you go up you can receive compensation, which I’ve also applied for you.

But if you refuse, do you think the people causing you trouble will let you go up?"
