After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 217 - 200: That’s Not What You Said Earlier

In the room, Zhao Hua wore a displeased expression.

Could anyone still disturb him while conducting business in this place?

Did the other party bring Spirit Stones?

How many did they bring?

If it’s too few, they should just wait.

"But..." the guard wanted to explain.

"But what?" Zhao Hua said in a low tone:

"But is he your relative?"

"No, no." The guard hastily shook his head, explaining:

"It’s not like that; the person outside mentioned he is also an Outer Disciple of the Sect."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hua, who originally wanted to dismiss the guard, paused.

Somewhat surprised: "Are you saying that the person outside is also an Outer Disciple?"

"Yes, that’s what he said," the guard replied truthfully.

Zhao Hua slightly furrowed his brows: "I haven’t received any notification that someone from the Sect was coming. It might be an impostor, have him wait."

At this point, the guard didn’t dare say more and was about to leave.

"Wait a moment." Chen Jin immediately tried to smooth things over: "Manager Zhao, perhaps it’s better to go check it out. It won’t interfere with my affairs here, we shouldn’t delay your official duties."

He was actually quite worried; what if the visitor was a formidable Outer Disciple?

His Chen Family would be in trouble.

Hosting the Chen Family but not the visitor, does the Chen Family have such a clout?

If it were others, the Chen Family wouldn’t be afraid, but if it’s someone from the Sect.

The Chen Family could definitely not afford to provoke them.

"If so, then let’s go and see." Zhao Hua stood up and said.

The ones from the Outer Sect, he mostly could afford to provoke.

Giving face to the Chen Family meant they would be more enthusiastic about giving him money later.

The other party also wouldn’t dare provoke the Outer Sect, and would have him step out.

A win-win situation.

But what was someone from the Outer Sect doing here?

He was also very curious, surely they had not come to seek refuge with him?

The position of leader could indeed be swapped out.

A supervisor at the Third Level of Qi Refining who had held the position for so many years.

He knew too little about the rules; it was time for a change.

At this moment, Gu An still waited at the door.

Although he wanted to return quickly, he still had some time.

Many times, one shouldn’t rush excessively.

Otherwise, affairs would not be easily managed.

After waiting for a brief time, he heard a discontented voice from inside:

"Who is outside? Delaying important affairs of the Spirit Tree Garden, can you bear the responsibility?"

The voice came before the person.

Gu An wasn’t surprised; he just quietly watched the door.

Soon, two people walked out from behind the door.

One was imposing, around thirty years old, with a proud demeanor.

He casually glanced toward the door.

It seemed he could afford to provoke whoever came.

Beside him was a humble middle-aged man, following by his side.

At this moment, they both saw Gu An.

Zhao Hua, who originally moved with light and natural steps, paused, his body stiffening.

But due to inertia, he still stepped forward.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t step past the threshold.

He was tripped up.

With a bang,

The lofty Manager Zhao directly fell forward, kneeling on the ground.

But he was utterly unaware, just looking at Gu An with trembling lips.

His eyes filled with deep fear.

"Gu, Gu, Gu, Gu, Senior Brother Gu?"

Gu An, seeing the manager performing a deep bow, was quite surprised but still politely asked, "Did I disturb you, Manager?"

Smack!

The moment Gu An’s words fell, Zhao Hua, under the astonished gaze of everyone, forcefully slapped himself.

Then, he took out a bag of Spirit Stones and said, "I just picked up some Spirit Stones inside, thinking someone from our own might have dropped them. Such a significant loss, surely the one who lost them must be extremely anxious, I immediately felt these Spirit Stones must have been accidentally lost by Senior Brother Gu.

So, I was specifically going to find Senior Brother to return these valuable items to their rightful owner.

I did not expect Senior Brother to come himself, thus failing to welcome you from afar.

Please forgive me, Senior Brother."

Gu An: "...."

They say they’re only late in delivering Spirit Stones for me, how could I blame them?

Although he casually accepted the Spirit Stones, he found that there were fifty pieces.

This place could produce fifty Spirit Stones, truly a considerable sum.

No wonder this Junior Brother wanted to have good interactions with the Chen Family.

Then he put away the Spirit Stones: "Junior Brother is considerate; I find you somewhat familiar."

Zhao Hua immediately got up, respectfully saying: "Replying to Senior Brother, I am Zhao Hua, who also picked up Senior Brother’s Spirit Stones when I was in the Outer Sect, so perhaps we have met before."

Gu An nodded.

So that was it.

Afterwards, he looked at Chen Jin next to him: "Junior Brother has guests."

"It was a minor matter, which is now resolved," Zhao Hua quickly said.

Chen Jin also respectfully performed a bow, not daring to say another word.

"Then let’s go back," Gu An said evenly.

Seeing this, Chen Jin bowed deeply and finally departed.

He was tremendously shocked in his heart.

Because he recognized the person before him: Gu An, who became an Outer Disciple and Leader Gu three years ago.

He had thought that even if the other party returned, he wouldn’t match this Manager Zhao.

Yet now, it seemed Manager Zhao did not dare show the slightest disrespect to him.

He directly knelt down.

Was this a normal Outer Disciple?

He couldn’t believe it.

Damn it, failing to continuously maintaingood relations with Qiu Leader has messed up big plans.

He deeply regretted that when Gu An left, the Chen Family had intended to get along well with Qiu Hua.

As time passed, recognizing that Gu An would likely not return

and with the arrival of a new manager, who seemed not to share a heart with Qiu Hua,

they naturally chose the new manager.

And had gradually distanced themselves from Qiu Hua’s side.

Now Gu An had returned,

And obviously overwhelmingly outmatched the manager.

He deeply regretted it, having picked the wrong side twice in succession.

Chen Family...

Might be destroyed at any moment.

On the way back, Chen Jin’s back was already soaked with cold sweat.

Just after returning, he heard a voice: "Today in Spirit Tree Garden, that Qiu Leader suffered a big loss here, I forcefully took away the items she wanted, yet she refused to agree to arrange two of our people."
