After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 224 - 203: Finding an Ideal Husband (Part 2)

Another lowered their eyebrows, mournful for the world.

The four people took their seats, and the middle-aged man at the head looked around and said, "It seems it’s just us four, so you didn’t receive the message?"

"I did." The youthful woman asked curiously, "So all of you agree?"

"The benefits offered by the Royal Family are decent, and they are strong too. A little face must be given." The young man asked curiously, "I’m just wondering how you plan to proceed?"

"The marriage between the Imperial Princess and the Dao Sect, they do not wish for any mishaps. Now that a certain Royal Commandery Princess has revealed her innate talent, once the news gets out, the union could be jeopardized." The middle-aged man continued with a smile as he looked at everyone:

"They hope to find her a suitable husband as soon as possible, someone with renown, ambition, and status, but they deliberately avoid mentioning talent or cultivation.

The meaning behind it is pretty clear, everyone understands, right?

This choice needs to be meticulously made."

"The Royal Family is really too much." The sympathetic woman lamented, "She’s still so young; aren’t they afraid she will hold a grudge if she rises to power in the future?"

"She has no choice now, and there’s another big issue we need to handle." The young man looked towards everyone and said, "Understand one thing, we didn’t need to pay much attention to her before, but now she belongs to that person, and without her consent, we might truly have no solution."

"That crazy woman, since becoming a True Inheritor, has become inscrutable." The middle-aged man also had a headache but still said calmly, "No hurry, the answer will come soon."

Indeed, just as the sound of his words fell, a Flying Sword transmission entered the great hall.

The young man casually caught it and saw the content.

Then he laughed and said, "She nodded, it seems there are quite a few benefits."

Saying so, he shared the content with the others.

With this, everyone no longer worried about the other matters.

"What kind of person should we look for then? And the Royal Family is not a good place, are you willing to send your disciples there?" The youthful woman asked.

"Let’s find six from some Inner Sect." The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and said:

"Let each Peak Master find someone, someone with a reputation that looks good.

Then select one from the six.

A disciple of a Peak Master should have some fame and status.

The peak that the candidate comes from will receive additional benefits."

Everyone pondered for a moment and had no objections.

The young man suddenly asked, "Should we let that woman choose one?"

"No need, she won’t care about this kind of matter." The middle-aged man said:

"Let’s finalize some details, select the candidates in the next few years.

We’ll discuss the rest later."

"Aren’t we considering her own value?" The youthful woman asked.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man laughed and said, "We won’t pressure her, and we cannot force her.

Her pressure is not from our side.

We’ll give her a chance to choose at the right time.

Whether she agrees or declines.

We’ve done what we should.

The rest is up to the Royal Family.

We take our benefits with peace of mind.

We’ve respected the person involved and handled the matter.

Who can fault us?"

"Shameless." The youthful woman said with a laugh.

...

Gu An controlled the Flying Sword and quickly returned to the Outer Peak.

Every time he went out, his heart felt insecure.

It was still safer to hide within the Sect.

However, these years have been uneventful.

Ever since that blade disappeared, his troubles have increased.

But with that tree on him, although the ninth layer of Qi Sea Sky Gang is unlikely, the sixth and seventh layers are still quite possible.

Just as he was about to return to the Sect, suddenly someone came controlling a sword from the opposite direction.

The moment Gu An saw them, he felt that these two people were targeting him.

He went into a defensive state for a moment.

But he wasn’t overly anxious.

If they were here to kill him, ambush would have been the best approach.

Gu An stopped the Flying Sword and stood still, watching the approaching figures.

A middle-aged man and a young boy.

The boy was only at Perfect Foundation Establishment Cultivation, while the middle-aged man...

was inscrutable.

Unable to determine his cultivation level.

But certainly not someone he could afford to provoke.

He felt the man’s power was somewhat terrifying.

In the time of a breath, the two had already arrived in front of Gu An, "Are you Leader Gu from the second team in the Outer Peak’s back courtyard?"

Gu An shook his head, "Senior has mistaken me for someone else."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled and said:

"I am Hong Wang’an from the Qingcheng Sect, the one beside me is my disciple, Zheng Yundong."

"Greetings to Leader Gu." Zheng Yundong bowed respectfully.

Gu An watched the two of them, silent and unspoken.

The people from Qingcheng Sect.

For those two who were killed?

He wasn’t sure.

However, the other party took the initiative to speak: "I received a message, saying that two disciples who came to negotiate with our Sect died at the hands of Leader Gu."

Upon hearing this, Gu An sighed inwardly, but his expression did not change at all, and he simply shook his head: "Senior, do not believe in rumors."

"But the message came from the Outer Peak." Hong Wang’an continued speaking.

"My popularity has always been poor within the Sect, I can’t compare to the other brothers and sisters." Gu An spoke humbly, lowering his eyes and expressing his feelings.

He did not sense any killing intent and thus was not in a hurry to flee.

The more one flees, the more likely problems may arise.

Of course, Vertical Earth Golden Light was already prepared, and he could try to escape at any time.

But the advantage was weak.

She Ti Ge might be able to block once or twice, in any case, be prepared.

"It seems Elder Huang deliberately misled us." Hong Wang’an said to Gu An:

"I hope fellow daoist does not take offense."

Gu An was surprised in his heart.

You believe that?

It seems that they didn’t come to assign blame.

"It is indeed our second team that did not manage the situation well." Gu An courteously said: "This is why seniors have misunderstood."

"I have not met Leader Gu before, and had misunderstandings from hearsay.

If there are any problems with the trades in the future, I also hope to seek advice from Leader Gu." Hong Wang’an spoke earnestly.

Gu An had some understanding but not complete clarity.

He only knew the other party had a request.

Although he didn’t want to get involved, not getting involved and then possibly changing to take revenge for the Sect disciples was not impossible either.

So, Gu An bowed sincerely: "Where does senior speak of such things, it’s all for the cooperation to go smoothly."

Hong Wang’an exchanged a few more courtesies.

Finally, they left.

Gu An watched them disappearing into the horizon, then finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After that, he returned by Sword Control.

On the way, he suddenly realized something – mentioning Elder Huang specifically.

That means Elder Huang wants to use someone else to kill me.

This is selling information to me.

So next time, what they may want is also information.

Understanding this, Gu An did not care.

After all, he did not know when he would encounter them again.

Returning to the Outer Peak, Gu An handed over the report he had written to his mission brother.

Now he had recovered.

So he took on missions quite efficiently.

"Leader Gu, there is something I want to tell you." The mission brother whispered.

Upon hearing this, Gu An was somewhat curious: "What is it?"

"I heard that the Peak Masters of the major peaks will be inspecting the Sect soon; you should perform well, being taken as a disciple directly if you catch their eye is possible." The mission brother said.

Upon hearing this, Gu An was somewhat astonished.

Is this thing useful with effort?

Without enough talent, isn’t everything out of the question?

"Sometimes it’s just about having a connection; such things have happened before." the mission brother said.

Gu An nodded.

He felt it strange in his heart.

These powerhouses are truly incomprehensible.

But he didn’t think much of it.

He felt it was quite good as it was.

Although he was an easy target, he was still able to strengthen himself, with plenty of forests for logging.

Once he became the disciple of a certain Peak Master, then the logging opportunities would be reduced.

After handing over the axe and the Vajra Wood, Gu An left.

For this mission, Gu An merely reported that there was strange miasma covering the area, which had now been dispelled.

It could be observed again in a few months, and if everything went well, there would be no more problems after three years.

After this, Gu An quickly returned to Qianchen Peak.

Upon return, Gu An saw the little girl he saw before; she was sitting motionless in front of the courtyard, seemingly lost in thought.

Gu An approached and gently called out: "Senior sister?"

Startled by the call, the little girl jumped.

Then she looked at Gu An with dissatisfaction: "Do you know? It is most important to cultivate concentration in a child, you mustn’t disturb me while I am focusing on being spaced out."

Gu An: "..."

Cultivating focus on being spaced out?
