After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 229 - 206: Why Do You Think I’m a Live-in Son-in-Law?
Chapter 229: Chapter 206: Why Do You Think I’m a Live-in Son-in-Law?
"Getting married?"
In the Alchemy Room, Chu Meng smiled slightly surprised:
"Would they really let me get married?"
Chunyu didn’t know how to answer for a moment.
Chu Meng didn’t mind and asked, "Has anything been happening on the mountain lately?"
"Yes." Chunyu said seriously:
"They seem to be taking in disciples recently, at Qianchen Peak, Law Enforcement Hall, and our peak as well.
Moreover, news just came out today that Heavenly Suspension Peak also took in a disciple.
They say this person possesses perseverance, a steadfast mind, and never gives up.
His character is top-notch, embodying the qualities of a Sword Cultivator."
"How about his talent?" Chu Meng asked with mild curiosity.
"Hard work is his strongest talent," Chunyu carefully stated, "That’s how it’s being put out there."
"So, he has poor talent." Chu Meng chuckled: "What about his age?"
"His heart is like that of a young man," Chunyu said.
"Does that mean he’s not young?" Chu Meng put down the Spiritual Medicine in her hand:
"Why do you think these people suddenly started taking disciples?"
"I do not know," Chunyu shook her head.
Chu Meng stood up and said, "Never mind, why bother about so many things, have there been any letters for me recently?"
"None," Chunyu shook her head.
Hearing this, Chu Meng was about to leave, but then she suddenly asked, "What’s the name of the new disciple at Heavenly Suspension Peak?"
"Gu An," Chunyu replied.
Chu Meng was startled, "That Gu An?"
"Yes, that Gu An," Chunyu nodded.
"Shouldn’t he be known as unbending, daring to rebel, and upright, a pillar of the Sect? How can he now be like a young man with a steadfast mind?" Chu Meng pondered for a moment, "Could it be that the Peak Master doesn’t even know what he has done?"
Chunyu shook her head.
Indeed, she did not know.
...
Heavenly Suspension Peak.
It lies amidst the Six Peaks, its vast mountain soaring into the clouds.
Extraordinarily steep, it also carries a solemn intent.
Rich with Spiritual Energy, the sounds of swords are deafening.
Silhouettes on swords move in and out.
Gu An also controls a sword.
Heading towards the middle of the mountain.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind Gu An.
Kindly reminding, "Junior Brother, this is Heavenly Suspension Peak."
Gu An looked back, it was a refined and gentle man.
He looked at Gu An, smiling.
"Met Elder Brother," Gu An said respectfully:
"I am indeed heading to Heavenly Suspension Peak."
"Heavenly Suspension Peak isn’t inhospitable, but entering the mid-mountain by controlling a sword means withstanding the suppression of Sword Intent, usually, it’s where Heavenly Suspension Peak disciples temper their Sword Intent.
You seem to know little about this." The young man kindly reminded.
Hearing this, Gu An was a bit surprised.
With gratitude, he said, "Thank you, Elder Brother for the reminder."
Then he didn’t stay any longer, lowering his height.
Choosing to walk up.
"No need to go too low, just not reaching the mid-mountain is fine.
The rest of the way is enough on foot." The young man reminded again.
Gu An thanked him with a bow.
Although he didn’t know the power of this Sword Intent, he certainly wasn’t a Heaven’s Chosen Son.
It was better to walk.
To avoid any mishap.
Landing at a certain position, Gu An proceeded up the mountain on foot.
The steep mountain, in front of a Golden Core cultivator, naturally wasn’t a problem.
On the way, he saw some fellow sect members, also walking.
They didn’t seem like Heavenly Suspension Peak disciples.
Gu An followed these people for a while, finally reaching the mid-mountain area.
There, the difference from the base of the mountain wasn’t significant, with many buildings still present.
But no market, presuming the markets were all at the base.
Near the buildings, Gu An saw a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged on a stone.
He slowly opened his eyes, looking at Gu An and said, "Junior Brother, are you here to enter Sword Tomb or perhaps go to Sword Intent Cliff?"
Gu An shook his head, "I am here to report, may I ask which Elder Brother should I look for?"
"Reporting?" The other was a bit surprised, followed by a realization, "Gu An?"
"It’s me," Gu An nodded.
The middle-aged man scrutinized Gu An, his eyes showing some disdain, and said:
"Wait a moment."
A moment later, a man came out.
He appeared to be in his early twenties, composed in demeanor, friendly in appearance.
Making one feel at ease.
Gu An was surprised the moment he saw him.
He had met this person before.
At the Vajra Wood Spirit Garden.
Named Duanmu Qing.
Lu Ruan’s fiancé.
Chu Meng had told him, at that time, they all had concealed their cultivation.
During Qi Refinement, he could not see through Duanmu Qing’s cultivation, and surprisingly, he still couldn’t now.
How strong exactly was Duanmu Qing?
However, Lu Ruan probably wasn’t this strong.
Initially, he thought he would soon meet these people.
But he never did.
Now it seemed, these people’s identity and status were not low.
They certainly did not live at the foothill.
As Duanmu Qing saw Gu An, he was also surprised:
"Junior Brother Gu?"
"Met senior." Gu An dutifully paid his respects.
"Senior is too formal, call me Elder Brother.
Did you bring something of marked token?" Duanmu Qing asked.
Gu An nodded.
He handed over the token given by Situ Baichuan.
Duanmu Qing looked at the token, somewhat surprised: "I didn’t expect Master would accept you as a disciple, from now on, you should not call me senior.
Although I don’t know why Master accepted you, but being here makes us fellow disciples.
Come, I’ll lead you to your living quarters.
From now on, stay here for cultivation.
The mountain is similar to the base in many aspects, only the tasks differ; ordinarily, tasks at the base are fixed, but here we are mostly assigned, you can understand more in time."
Saying this, Duanmu Qing led the way ahead, and simultaneously introduced the surroundings.
There are two places on the mountain, one is the Sword Tomb, where Sect sword cultivators can enter by virtue of their merits.
If recognized by a Spirit Sword, one can leave with it.
Another is Sword Intent Cliff, accessed similarly by Sect sword cultivators depending on their Sword Intent.
Of course, disciples on Heavenly Suspension Peak can enter these once a month for free.
