After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 60 - The Poor Can’t Enter Luo Sheng Hall

60: Chapter 60 The Poor Can’t Enter Luo Sheng Hall

60 -60 The Poor Can’t Enter Luo Sheng Hall

Qing Chenxi is dead, and the Law Enforcement Hall, even after taking over, simply doesn’t care; the matter was left unresolved.

But now, old issues are being brought up again.

Gu An feels unsure about what will happen if the investigation tracks back to him.

He needs to ask clearly.

“You care so much, could it be that you were the one who killed her?” Chu Meng asked with some surprise: “Despite your age, you’re quite hot-blooded.

Killing people at the slightest disagreement.

Could it be that you fancied her, and when she didn’t reciprocate, you killed her in a fit of rage and humiliation?”

Your mind is really filthy.

Really.

If Gu An were not outmatched by the person before him, he would genuinely wish to crack open their skull and wash it out.

“Elder, why don’t you go back?” Gu An issued an order to leave.

“I advise you it’s best to maintain a good relationship with me,” Chu Meng kindly reminded: “I am your superior, with direct access to the highest authority.

If I decide to let personal vendettas influence my judgement and assign my own tasks to you, you will have reason to cry.

But if you’re on good terms with me, even if there’s a task from above, I would help you avoid it because I see that you’ve grown old and lost your charms.

Do you understand now the importance of having a good relationship with me?”

Gu An nodded.

He wasn’t so worried, after all, there was Lu Ruan.

Unlike before, he didn’t have to keep waiting.

There was no other recourse.

Of course, Chu Meng was more approachable than Lu Ruan.

Lu Ruan, aloof and lofty, was full of scrutiny and contempt.

Not deliberately showing it, but it was the instinctive reaction upon seeing the weak.

“Of course, as I’m newly arrived, I feel they’re all very dangerous.

It’s best to form an alliance with you so at least there would be a way out in the future.

Don’t you agree?” Chu Meng said earnestly.

Gu An could only nod, letting the other person say whatever they wanted.

Once the conversation is over, he could then talk about Qing Chenxi’s case.

As expected, Chu Meng immediately began: “The case of Qing Chenxi will definitely be investigated, but if things are slightly complicated, they won’t find the real culprit in the end; they’ll just come up with a few suspects.

The case will be handed over to those who pay merit.

Don’t ask why, the answer is merely that the merit given is too little.

In the Sect, merit is very important.

If a fellow disciple and friend were humiliated and killed, and the Law Enforcement Hall assigns a good-for-nothing or a slick character to the case, and if the matter is resolved by the offender, and you still seek revenge, then you can go to Luo Sheng Hall.

As long as someone takes the job and pays sufficient merit.

There is an eighty percent chance that they will sort it out for you.”

With that, Chu Meng curiously asked: “How much merit do you have?”

“One hundred and fifteen,” Gu An replied.

He was able to check with his Identity Token at the Merit Hall out of curiosity once.

“Hmm, with a little over a hundred, they won’t even let you through the door,” Chu Meng said regrettably: “Poor people can’t get into Luo Sheng Hall.”

Gu An: “…”

It seems Luo Sheng Hall is very pragmatic.

“Enough talk, I just came to ask if you were the one who killed her.” Chu Meng stretched, got up, and left:

“In a few days, your reward will be given out.

You can look forward to that.”

Having said that, Chu Meng walked out and disappeared into the night.

Gu An sat in his seat for a long time, then sighed.

Qing Chenxi was murdered, and whoever was behind her is now searching for the suspects.

It’s highly likely that he will end up on the list.

Once targeted, it will be very troublesome.

Especially since the other party is from the Inner Sect, and he is from the Outer Sect.

“Indeed, the Outer Sect is not as comfortable as the Spirit Tree Garden,” Gu An lamented inwardly.

Here, any slight move could involve others.

If you don’t take action, not only is it dangerous, but everyone loves to bully you.

Cultivation is a road of no return; if it’s not you bullying others, it’s others bullying you.

Of course, whether to bully or not and having the ability to bully are two different things.

He exhaled deeply.

Gu An walked out of the courtyard and sat in front of the pond.

For the moment, it is still best for him to focus on improving his cultivation.

At this time, the Big Eye Fish was swimming in the pond, occasionally flipping to show its belly white.

Gu An casually tossed two peanuts.

Both were imbued with Heavenly Gang Qi.

The fish seemed to enjoy eating them quite contentedly.

“It still serves some purpose,” Gu An couldn’t help speaking out.

What exactly the fish was about, he could not know.

But it was not easy for others to discover it.

As long as he watched the fish, he could tell if someone was lurking in the courtyard.

After feeding the fish for a while and seeing that the Big Eye Fish flipped over and didn’t want to move anymore, Gu An finally went to the backyard.

He dug out a box and then returned to the house.

Inside was the Storage Treasure of Qing Chenxi.

It had been left untouched for so many days, and now it was time to take a look at the situation.

Upon inspection, it was found to contain two hundred and thirty-one Spirit Stones.

“Truly affluent.”

Besides the Spirit Stones, there was also a Spirit Sword, which made two considering the one used by the adversary.

However, the sword that was used was not ordinary, it was a valuable Magic Treasure.

The rest were some talismans and Elixir Pills.

“It’s a bit of a pity, there aren’t any Cultivation Techniques or Spells.” Gu An expressed his regret.

Now, adding his own Spirit Stones, the total came to three hundred and ten pieces.

Selling the adversary’s Spirit Sword should also yield three to four hundred Spirit Stones.

The Outer Sect truly was much richer compared to the Vajra Wood area.

So many Spirit Stones would not even be seen over there.

Of course, Qing Chenxi held a not insignificant status.

And it should be that her people often went to “borrow” Spirit Stones.

That is why she had so many.

Otherwise, an ordinary Outer Disciple would hardly have more than ten pieces on them.

Not to mention possessing a Magic Treasure.

After securing the items, Gu An sighed, “The loot is good, but it’s a shame the price paid was quite substantial.”

Not only did he sustain injuries, but he was also likely to attract the attention of her people behind the scenes.

However, as long as he becomes an Inner Sect member and joins Luo Sheng Hall,

everything will become better, status and identity included.

Others would then be less likely to provoke him.

He set his sights on Luo Sheng Hall.

He would inquire about the general situation in a few days.

For now, his priority was to elevate his cultivation to deal with the aftermath of Qing Chenxi’s death.

The next day, Gu An saw that more people were being called in for questions.

It seemed to be a nondiscriminatory inquiry.

This made Gu An somewhat curious.

By logic, given his connection with Qing Chenxi, he should have been a priority for questioning.

Why had no one come looking for him yet?

The person by Qing Chenxi’s side should know that she meant to target him.

After considerable thought, Gu An arrived at two conclusions.

One was that they considered him too weak to be a suspect.

The other was that they were deliberately stimulating him, watching others being questioned one by one, worrying that he too would be taken away, thus triggering a reactive response.

Regardless of the case, Gu An needed to stay calm.

These people had no evidence, and the Merit points paid were minimal.

There was no way they could directly implicate him.

Unless Chu Meng was incorrect.

He exhaled and continued logging.

….

Elsewhere.

Outer Door North District.

Zheng Xiu stood respectfully at the side, head bowed, in a loft.

Inside the loft, a woman was elegantly drinking tea.

She put down her teacup, then finally spoke:

“Has the person you suspect made any recent movements?” fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

“No movements,” Zheng Xiu shook her head: “He’s at Qi Refining Seventh Layer and shouldn’t have such capability, but Ye Song and the others are dead, including Senior Sister Qing.

Even if he’s not the murderer, he must certainly know something.”

“It doesn’t matter whether he knows or not.” The woman in the loft poured herself a fresh cup of tea and spoke leisurely:

“For now, you take over the affairs of the Outer Sect.

I need to prepare for the Inner Sect examination and don’t have time to manage you all.

As for this Gu An.

If Luo Sheng Hall’s given list includes him,

find an opportunity to kill him.

Just let him be the scapegoat.

An explanation will suffice, so as not to lose face as an Inner Sect Senior Brother.

Moreover, say to the outside that this person concealed his cultivation level, that he is at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining.

Killing Qing Chenxi would then seem justifiable.

And it would be convenient for you all to kill him.

You decide the specifics, just maintain our dignity.”

“Yes,” Zheng Xiu bowed her head.

Her lips involuntarily curled upward.
