After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 26 - : The Manager of Spirit Tree Garden

Qiu Hua, at the Qi Refining Second Level, barely qualifies to lead a team; becoming a Manager is impossible.

Regarding Shen Shanhe and Zhao Ying.

Though they previously sided with others, it's only human nature.

So, there's no need to dwell on it.

Just as I would kill to survive better, they would preserve themselves wisely to live better; such actions are normal.

After saying this, Gu An left.

He went to Manager Chen's residence.

Wanting to see if there was anything valuable.

Unfortunately, after checking, he found nothing.

He didn't take the Storage Treasure either, as that required finding Duanmu Qing and others.

Therefore, he couldn't take anything.

Whoever ended up with the items was beyond his concern.

While at Manager Chen's residence, he suddenly saw someone arriving.

A middle-aged man with a young lady.

It was Chen Jin, the second uncle of the Chen Family, and Chen Yu, the young lady of the Chen Family.

They were surprised to see Gu An.

What exactly happened here, they didn't know yet.

But the people from the Chen Family hadn't returned.

No one could approach here yesterday.

They could only approach today, and so they came to see Manager Chen as soon as possible.

Wanting to see how things were going.

But, seeing Gu An upon entering made them feel uneasy.

They didn't know this man.

But because of Yang Shi, they had investigated.

He shouldn't be here.

According to their plan, this man should already be dead, and his death would have dispelled the Cangmu Sect's investigators.

But now, the investigators indeed left, yet this man was unharmed.

So, what was the investigation result?

"Who are you two?" Gu An asked.

"We're here to see Manager Chen," Chen Jin replied politely.

"Manager Chen is already dead," Gu An said bluntly. "You won't be able to find him for the time being."

Dead?

What did he mean by not being able to find him for the time being?

Chen Jin didn't know how to respond at the moment.

Because if Manager Chen was dead, yet he was an Outer Disciple of Cangmu Sect.

There had been investigations before; it made no sense for him to be dead.

Unless...

Chen Jin immediately thought of a possibility; those investigators had concluded their findings.

Gu An had survived, but Manager Chen had died, so was Manager Chen the scapegoat?

The Chen Family broke out into cold sweats.

Not daring to stay longer, the two took their leave.

Gu An didn't pay much attention, merely wandering around a lot, he also didn't decide on a new manager.

However, after seeing the Spirit Tree Garden guards, the strongest among them was only at the Third Level of Qi Refining.

With no other choice, he picked a middle-aged man at the Third Level.

"Leader Gu," the middle-aged man bowed respectfully.

By then, everyone knew Gu An was in charge of the Spirit Tree Garden.

"How old are you?" Gu An asked.

"Forty years old," the middle-aged man replied.

"What's your name?" Gu An inquired further.

"An Ren," An Ren answered.

Gu An checked the records in Manager Chen's study and roughly understood An Ren's background.

Relatively clean.

"Currently, Spirit Tree Garden has no Manager; you'll handle the relevant duties for now," Gu An told him.

The Spirit Tree Garden belongs to Cangmu Sect.

It can't be without an Outer Disciple.

He would need to prepare the relevant documents and then send them up.

Perhaps before long, someone will be dispatched here.

After telling An Ren that Qiu Hua was personally appointed by him, he left.

The rest was for An Ren to digest properly.

Additionally, he was informed that it may not be too long before the Sect sends a new manager.

Thus, he considered his preliminary arrangements well made.

Although the current state of Spirit Tree Garden appeared frail, the surrounding families dared not act rashly.

That day, he took Qiu Hua for a walk around Spirit Tree Garden, telling her some matters that needed attention.

Upon reaching the core Vajra Wood, they naturally saw the main trunk that was about to break from being chopped.

Qiu Hua was somewhat worried.

Gu An recorded the truth, and then pushed the problem onto Yang Shi.

But he still told Qiu Hua that they should try their best to avoid any issues with this tree.

Otherwise, even if they report it now, the problem would still lie with the person who was the leader at the time.

Qiu Hua nodded in understanding, studying very hard.

At the end, she asked Gu An, "Will the boss come back?"

"Probably not," Gu An replied indifferently, "the Outer Sect is not a good place either."

Indeed the outside of the Sect was dangerous, but the interior, where a large number of powerful individuals gathered, was definitely not safe either.

Qiu Hua opened her mouth to speak, but in the end, she said nothing.

Before leaving, Gu An handed over the Nourishing Life Technique to her.

At least she could cultivate up to the Qi Refining Sixth Level.

Returning to his dwelling, it was already empty.

Chu Meng had been taken away, which was expected.

He cleaned up the existing items and decided to go out to sell some things.

The Storage Treasure from Shang Yundong, the Mountain Opening Axe Secret Manual, these could all be sold.

He set up a stall while wearing a mask for a long while.

Finally, someone inquired about the Storage Treasure.

Gu An asked for two hundred.

The other party counter-offered one hundred, saying that it belonged to the Cangmu Sect and that there were risks associated with using it.

Gu An was somewhat surprised but eventually settled for one hundred and thirty.

The Mountain Opening Axe Secret Manual was not valuable, sold for five Spirit Stones.

The other bits and bobs added up to only three Spirit Stones.

In the end, he gained one hundred and thirty-eight Spirit Stones.

Plus the thirty given by Lu Ruan, that made a total of one hundred and sixty-eight Spirit Stones.

He also had a bottle of Quenching Spirit Pills and a Spirit Sword.

One Healing Talisman, two Clean Body Talismans, and one soundproofing talisman.

This was all he had.

Truly wealthy.

The next day.

Gu An found the manager of Qingshui Garden.

He handed over the keys.

"Is fellow daoist leaving?" Manager Hu Fei greeted him with a smile.

He had already known that Gu An had become a Sect Disciple.

"Yes, I am leaving," Gu An nodded.

"Just a small token of appreciation, what happened before was purely my duty, I hope fellow daoist won't take it to heart," said Manager Hu, handing Gu An five Spirit Stones.

It seemed previously he was trying to chase people away, but Gu An didn't take it to heart.

Back then, he had given the other party one Spirit Stone, hoping to extend his time, so that ten Spirit Stones could be handed over.

"Thank you," Gu An accepted the Spirit Stones and thanked him, then handed out five Quenching Spirit Pills, "I don't have much to give to Manager Hu, thank you for taking care of me before.

Furthermore, that dwelling of mine is probably for the next leader, I hope Manager Hu can look after them a bit."

Manager Hu had relaxed upon seeing Gu An accept the Spirit Stones, at least he wouldn't offend him.

And then, upon seeing that Gu An had given him Elixir Pills, and even asked for help in looking after someone, he was overjoyed.

He accepted the Elixir Pills: "Friends of Daoist Gu are also friends of mine Hu Fei, please be assured."

Having a connection with an Outer Disciple was something he dearly wished for.

The Spirit Stones given today were offered at just the right time.

And in return, the other party had given Elixir Pills of equivalent value.

He felt immensely glad.

Thus, Gu An did not linger any longer.

Qiu Hua was robust, but with her innate strength, advancing to the Third Level of Qi Refining shouldn't be too slow.

That would also be considered adequate.

As for what the future holds, it was beyond Gu An's control.

He had done everything he should have.

He had watched the behavior of these people over the past few days.

Though indifferent, for those who had treated him well, it was appropriate to show reciprocal kindness.

Meanwhile, the Chen Family, upon learning of all these events, hastened to Gu An's dwelling wanting to apologize in person.

But by the time they arrived, they were informed that he had already left.
