After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 47 - It Turns Out I’m Quite Arrogant Too

47: Chapter 47 It Turns Out I’m Quite Arrogant Too

47 -47 It Turns Out I’m Quite Arrogant Too

The content in the scroll was simple.

Only a brief introduction to the traitor.

Name: Ouyang Xuan.

Cultivation: Qi Refining Seventh Layer.

Betrayed the Sect three months ago, slaughtered Sect disciples.

Will meet someone at Wangyue Inn in the city two days later, then go home for ancestral rites.

Besides these, there was a simple portrait.

A woman.

Her facial features were average, the overall temperament was also average.

But her hair was tied in two ponytails, somewhat eye-catching.

After handing back the scroll to Chen Yue, Gu An expressed his thanks.

Then he turned and followed the two Senior Brothers and Sisters to leave.

“I’ve caused trouble for Senior Brother and Sister.”

At this moment, Molan’s eyes shifted uncertainly, and in the end, both maintained silence.

Seeing this, Gu An didn’t relax.

Those with schemes are the dangerous ones.

If these two can also restrain themselves, it means they are more difficult to deal with than expected.

But now was not the time to dwell on it.

“What do Senior Brother and Sister plan to do?” Gu An took the initiative to ask.

“Weren’t you quite opinionated?” Molan chuckled and spoke.

“We should still listen to Senior Brother and Sister’s opinions more.” Gu An said humbly.

“We look young, and here you are, at your age, calling us Senior Brother and Sister, doesn’t it make you feel ashamed?” Ye Song asked after they left the room.

Molan spoke in a mocking tone, “Senior Brother Ye’s words are not right.

If his cultivation is weak and he doesn’t call us Senior Brother and Sister, should he call us Junior Brother and Sister?

How thick does his skin have to be to dare call that?”

Ye Song seemed to realize this for the first time, nodded with a smile, and said so it was.

Gu An followed behind and didn’t argue back.

He found out that since coming to the Outer Sect, many people would bring up age.

As if the older you are, the less worth you have.

And not much respect would be given.

Especially someone like him, older in age and yet weak in cultivation.

Even less worthy of pleasant treatment.

To increase cultivation, besides self-protection.

Another important aspect was to make others speak to him normally.

Evening.

The three arrived at Qingmu City.

The city was extremely large, not only housing Sect people but also major families.

But no matter the force, none came close to Cangmu Sect.

Or rather, behind the major families, more or less stood some powerful figures from the Sect.

Soon, the three came to Wangyue Inn.

“We’ll stay here for the night, and the person will come the day after tomorrow,” said Ye Song, looking at Gu An,

“You’ll stay in the lobby to observe the guests, no problem, right?”

Gu An nodded, without raising any objections.

Of course, with his insignificant presence and words, speaking out would be no use.

Wangyue Inn had three types of rooms: Sky, Earth, Human.

Sky room cost two Spirit Stones per night, inside were many Arrays, and it also had rich Spiritual Energy.

Earth room cost one Spirit Stone per night, half the Arrays inside, half the Spiritual Energy.

Human room cost five broken Spirit Stones per night, only had simple defensive and soundproofing Arrays, no gathering of Spiritual Energy, as much as there was.

Ye Song and Molan stayed in Earth rooms.

Gu An chose a Human room.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford an Earth room, it was unnecessary.

And appearing slightly weaker would often lead to being underestimated.

Should a conflict arise, it was also easier to catch others off guard.

After confirming the rooms, Gu An settled himself in the lobby.

He began to observe some of the guests in the inn.

This inn wasn’t particularly good, not many powerful characters.

Most were young people between Qi Refining Seventh and Eighth Layer.

He ordered some peanuts and quietly observed, hoping to spot the traitor.

Until the evening, there were no findings.

Thus, he had no choice but to return to his room.

He didn’t rush to rest.

Cultivators with high cultivation levels require less sleep.

It doesn’t really affect their spirit the next day.

After looking at the Wanxiang Senluo for a long time, Gu An planned to rest.

It had already passed midnight.

Suddenly, the Ring of Destiny exhibited a change.

Gu An checked its contents immediately.

Subsequently, a passage appeared in his mind.

“Last night, Ye Song visited Molan’s room, mentioning you.

He feels you are cunning and can endure, but not by much.

At over forty years old, at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, he can’t figure out his own place.

The only thing he can take pride in is his short remaining lifespan, daring to fight and kill, after all, not many years left to live.

Such a person is useful to win over but of limited use, might even harbor rebellious thoughts, hard to control.

After comprehensive evaluation, it’s thought that you are not worth winning over, but it’s still worth a try, no harm if it fails, force you to divulge what you know about Ren Shan, that’d be enough.

When reporting to the sect about the pursuit of the traitor, you can just be listed as killed.”

Gu An was somewhat surprised, judging from the Ring of Destiny, these two people were very clear-headed, not as straightforward as they were during the day.

So were they deliberately testing him?

For a moment, Gu An was quite alarmed; he had thought he was facing just some arrogant people, little did he expect that the other side was also hiding their true intentions.

“It seems I was also arrogant, almost underestimated them.”

Gu An sighed silently.

However, the matter indeed revolved around Ren Shan.

Without revealing the secret, the troubles would never end.

He had to find Ren Shan again.

But if the secret isn’t truly extracted, there’s no point in searching.

“The situation is complicated.”

Gu An didn’t ponder further but began to rest.

The next day.

Gu An returned to the inn’s main hall, drinking tea and eating peanuts.

Half a day passed, still no discoveries.

In the evening, Gu An was eating soy sauce beef with rice.

According to the message, Ouyang Xuan would meet someone at the inn tomorrow.

So, there was a high possibility that she would come tonight.

Sure enough, as night fell, a woman walked in, her hair not in twin ponytails, and her face covered.

But with just a light glance, Gu An knew it was Ouyang Xuan.

After confirming that she went to the “herringbone” room number six, Gu An found Ye Song and the others.

“Any findings?” Ye Song asked.

Gu An nodded: “She went to the ‘herringbone’ six room.”

“You’ve done a good job with this matter,” Molan pondered for a moment and said: “Since you’ve discovered her, we can let you take the lead in the capture, and then you’ll get the main merit for this task.

The main merit is worth fifty points.”

Does she mean for me to be the cannon fodder?

Gu An thought to himself.

Then he shook his head and declined, saying, “Without my senior brothers and sisters, I wouldn’t have discovered anything, the main merit naturally belongs to the seniors.”

“You are considerate,” Ye Song nodded: “You go try knocking on the door, no one should recognize you in theory, we’ll watch over you from behind.

To prevent you from coming to harm.”

Gu An didn’t refuse again, the two of them were determined to let him be cannon fodder.

Afterward, he went to the “herringbone” six room.

Ye Song and Molan observed secretly from behind.

Gu An approached the door and gently knocked.

“Who is it?” A wary voice came from inside.

Gu An spoke calmly, “Guest, your water has arrived.”

“Leave it at the door,” the voice continued from inside.

“Guest, there’s a problem with this water, it’d be best if you take a look,” Gu An continued.

At this moment, silence fell inside.

Afterwards, the door slowly opened.

Soon a woman in a black robe appeared before Gu An’s eyes, and she saw him immediately.

The woman was startled, shock flashing through her eyes.

She was about to close the door.

As such, Gu An hesitated for a moment, then decided to let her close it.

If he botched the task, Ye Song and the others would come to knock themselves.

It would be much safer to hide behind.

But just as he was about to retreat, he heard a whooshing sound from behind.

Turning to look, he saw a huge palm strike coming from behind.

Gu An was somewhat alarmed; this palm strike was aimed at him.

Not deadly, but Ye Song wanted him to enter first before anything else.
