After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 228 - 205: The Peak Master Wants to Take Me as a Disciple? (Part 2)
Chapter 228: Chapter 205: The Peak Master Wants to Take Me as a Disciple? (Part 2)
"Senior Brother said he couldn’t decide."
"A Senior Brother from the Main Court said he would come and explain to the leader personally."
"Questions can be asked, but once asked, they’re asked, and if they’re gone, they’re gone; he can’t do anything about it," Shu Ci said.
Gu An was silent for a moment and then said, "I understand. Since he will come tomorrow, I will ask him. You let Junior Brother Pang continue with his other tasks."
Shu Ci did not leave immediately but chatted for a while longer.
Only after that did he leave.
Gu An lowered his eyes.
*Why did the other party feel the need to make their presence known here?*
*Apparently, the other party knew that I understood her identity.*
*Was it really necessary to take me down because of that?*
*As for being selected...*
*There’s no way they would choose her.*
*After all, she’s from the Joy Sect.*
Gu An didn’t dwell on it and continued with the logging.
That night. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Gu An didn’t hurry to leave.
Suddenly, he heard a surprised voice from the sky.
"Someone’s logging at this hour?"
A young man held a gourd in his hand, with a longsword floating behind him, its soft light illuminating the surroundings.
When Gu An saw him, *a strange sense of caution arose in his heart.*
*He couldn’t discern any Qi.*
*But he was certainly not a weakling.*
*Who is it?*
"What’s your name?" the young man asked proactively.
"Replying to Senior, this junior is Gu An," Gu An respectfully saluted.
Even though he didn’t know if the other party was a senior from the Sect, he treated him as such.
Otherwise...
His life would be in danger.
"Gu An," the young man pondered for a moment, then said, "Sounds somewhat familiar; we must be fated."
"This junior is terrified, I am just a regular logging disciple," Gu An said, lowering his head.
"There’s no one else logging here, only you. This shows you have a resilience that others do not.
Although logging is a task, you are not doing it for the task but to temper yourself.
You have ambition.
Diligence can make up for a lack of talent.
Inflexible and unyielding.
Far superior to countless others," the young man continued, gazing at Gu An:
"Do you practice sword cultivation?"
Gu An found it baffling but still answered truthfully, "This junior practices sword skill."
"Hmm," the young man nodded, "Sword and blade are of the same family; indeed, you are fated with me.
Average talent, excellent quality.
A tenacity beyond ordinary people.
Most suitable for sword or blade training.
Just a bit old, yet possessing the heart of a youth. Your future is limitless.
Would you like to become my disciple?"
Upon hearing this, Gu An was baffled.
*Why did the subject of apprenticeship suddenly arise?*
*Moreover, in what way did he meet the criteria?*
*Old in age, yet youthful in spirit?*
*Was long-term logging enough to be considered excellent quality and resilient in mind?*
*It seems plausible.*
*But it feels like the other party just chose an ordinary yet hardworking person.*
*Then used terms like diligence can make up for incompetence, resilience in mind, these intangible qualities, to glorify him.*
*The diligent are numerous, and those logging are even more so.*
*How could anyone rise to prominence so easily?*
*Without talent, without a right direction, no amount of diligence could make up for incompetence.*
"Unwilling?" the young man asked.
"This junior is unaware of your identity," Gu An expressed his concern.
"Cangmu Sect, Peak Master of Heavenly Suspension Peak, Situ Baichuan," Situ Baichuan introduced himself.
Upon hearing this, Gu An was stunned.
*It was somewhat unbelievable.*
*A Peak Master accepting a disciple...*
*And it’s me?*
*What is going on?*
*Could it be that I have other unknown backgrounds?*
*If not, why would such a powerful figure accept me as a disciple?*
*Was it meticulously planned or merely a stroke of luck?*
*Gu An didn’t understand, but the other party seemed easy-going, yet his gaze held no emotion.*
*He was unsure if agreeing would be dangerous.*
*But if he refused, perhaps...*
*The risk would be immense.*
In his helplessness, he could only kneel down and perform the apprenticeship ritual, "Disciple Gu An, pays respect to Master."
"Good, very good," Situ Baichuan looked at Gu An, casually tossing him a token, "Tomorrow, head to Heavenly Suspension Peak, directly to the mid-mountain area, find a place to live there, and move in from now on.
Cultivate well, your diligence will bring you rewards."
Gu An bowed his head in gratitude.
"By the way, which peak are you from?" Situ Baichuan asked.
"Qianchen Peak," Gu An replied.
"From now on, you belong to Heavenly Suspension Peak, avoid visiting that place too often; it is a mix of all kinds, don’t let them corrupt you," Situ Baichuan said with a smile.
He instructed a few things and then left.
He left no cultivation resources behind.
Gu An shook his head.
But he felt little joy in his heart.
*It seemed like he was inexplicably drawn into something dangerous again.*
*Accidentally becoming a Peak Master’s disciple.*
*Although not a Direct Disciple, being accepted by the Inner Sect was already above others.*
*Let alone being a disciple of a Peak Master.*
*One could say he leaped from the bottom tier.*
*Becoming someone with identity and status.*
But...
*He knew his own talent and cultivation level.*
*So heading to Heavenly Suspension Peak rashly might not be better than Qianchen Peak.*
*But he couldn’t not go.*
"I just wanted to cautiously improve my cultivation, and now I encounter such a thing."
*Gu An’s mind was in turmoil.*
*It was indeed a good thing, but...*
*Who expects pies to fall from the sky?*
*He just mentioned that starting tomorrow, the news of his apprenticeship would be spread throughout the Sect.*
*It seemed this was how others were accepted too.*
Taking a deep breath, Gu An returned to Qianchen Peak.
If he really needed to move, he would have to pack up his things.
Moreover, he needed to find a place with a river to nurture noodles conveniently.
"Big brother, you’re back." As soon as he returned to the courtyard, the Blood Demon Divine Monarch greeted him with a smile.
Gu An looked at him and sighed inwardly.
*He hoped that once there, they wouldn’t find out about this tree.*
*If discovered, he would likely have to hand it over.*
*Then...*
*It would be better to just cut it down now.*
*It would just be right to quickly achieve Great Success.*
The Blood Demon Divine Monarch, sensing the "killing intent," was utterly terrified.
"Big brother, have I not been performing well lately? I’ve noticed early on and will double my efforts in the future. I’ve been adding seals, and arrays have secretly strengthened too. Let me take care of guarding the home in the future," the Blood Demon Divine Monarch said earnestly.
*To demonstrate one’s value was essential for survival.*
*Otherwise...*
*The fate of the previous tree would be his fate.*
Gu An didn’t pay much attention to what he said.
He just thought that cutting it now wasn’t very beneficial.
*That little girl seemed to regard him as a divine doctor. Cutting it down would surely bring other troubles.*
*Just take it slow; it wasn’t the right time yet.*
Thus, Gu An inquired about that little girl.
"She came later, saying she was caught by her family while stealing Spiritual Liquid and was locked up.
She claimed her name was Nangong Qiyue, but she didn’t confess anything about here," the Blood Demon Divine Monarch said.
Gu An was silent for a long time and then asked,
"How old is she?"
"About a hundred years old," the Blood Demon Divine Monarch replied.
Gu An: "...."
*A hundred years old?*
*That’s not just a dwarf; she might have cognitive impairments.*
*It would be better to meet with her less often.*
*If the noodle-stealing issue was discovered,*
*he wouldn’t be able to clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River.*
*He would become a notorious thief of bellybands, despised by the entire Sect.*
*Especially now that he’s about to become a Peak Master’s disciple.*
*Which makes it even more dangerous.*
*This matter could ruin his reputation,*
*leaving him unable to lift his head.*
*Too terrifying.*
Gu An sighed and returned to his house.
He continued studying the Sword Skill.
*After all, he claimed to study the sword; if he was too poor at it, it would be problematic.*
He didn’t learn much overnight.
When morning came, Gu An Sword Control-left.
He headed to Heavenly Suspension Peak to report.
The disciples at the mid-mountain should be numerous, and he was sure to encounter something.
*He hoped he wouldn’t have to reveal his strength.*
*He had not yet reached the Primordial Spirit stage; he feared that even if he revealed it, he wouldn’t be a match for those people.*
At the time Gu An was heading to Heavenly Suspension Peak, the related news had already started spreading.
Spreading from Heavenly Suspension Peak down the mountain, and then to other places.
Spirit Bamboo Peak, Qianchen Peak.
At this moment, in the courtyard of Spirit Bamboo Peak,
Chu Meng was still adjusting the Spiritual Medicine, wanting to continue with Alchemy.
Before long, Chunyu walked in and said, "Miss, there is some news."
"What news?" Chu Meng asked without raising her head.
"I heard that many Peak Masters have received letters," Chunyu said.
Upon hearing this, Chu Meng’s expression remained unchanged: "What is the content?"
Chunyu lowered her gaze, not daring to speak.
"Speak," Chunyu said earnestly, "We don’t know the content of their letters, but the Madam wrote me a letter.
She said that the family doesn’t want Miss’s talent to affect the family’s marriage alliances.
Most likely..."
"Most likely what?" Chu Meng continued working on the Spiritual Medicine.
"They will, they will find a way to marry Miss off early," Chunyu answered.
