After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 481 - 325: Is the First Institute Number 1? (Part 2)

"There’s nothing." Zhan Tai Xiu looked at the logging progress approaching the foot of the mountain and couldn’t help but sigh, "We’re about to go up the mountain, I’ve brought two senior brothers with decent cultivation to help with the logging."

"This..."

Cheng Yifei was about to refuse, but Zhan Tai Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, saying, "Does Junior Brother not welcome us?"

"Welcome." Cheng Yifei gritted his teeth and nodded.

He finally gave each of those two men an axe.

Afterward, the two men entered the crowd and began logging.

Zhan Tai Xiu wandered around.

Naturally, he didn’t head towards Chu Meng’s direction; he also felt that barely discernible chill.

If he dared to go over there and act carelessly, there was an eight or nine out of ten chance he would die.

Although he didn’t know their purpose for coming here, it seemed they were not here for Cheng Yifei.

That was enough.

Soon he saw Gu An, but with just one glance, he moved his gaze away.

Cheng Yifei was somewhat worried; he didn’t understand what such a person was doing here.

However, for three consecutive days, the other party did nothing.

Moreover, the two men from Returning to Void logged much faster than them, with broad and powerful movements, they were indeed good hands at logging.

Thus, Cheng Yifei became even more puzzled.

He even started to doubt whether they were really here to log.

After seven days.

Cheng Yifei was even less vigilant.

However, Gu An encountered a problem because his magic was almost at its capacity.

In a little over a week, his logging would yield no profit.

Bang!

Suddenly, a noise came from behind.

Someone cried out in pain.

Gu An turned his head and saw a Golden Core clasping their thigh location, somewhat angry.

But looking at the person logging next to him, he said nothing.

"A momentary slip of hand," the other party said with a smile.

This was a Late Stage Returning to Void powerhouse.

Let alone a piece of wood, even if it was an axe thrown over, the Golden Core dare not say a word.

Gu An didn’t take it to heart either.

Noon.

Gu An noticed that someone else started logging next to him.

It was the Late Stage Returning to Void man.

He looked to be about forty.

His Qi-Blood was vigorous, and his terrifying Qi was also frightening.

Gu An just glanced at the man and didn’t pay much attention.

He needed to consider how to seize an opportunity for his own promotion.

It was just that the person next to him began logging, with large movements, and the dull sounds kept coming.

This caught his attention, but it wasn’t proper to say much; some people log like this.

Suddenly, however, he felt something whizz by the corner of his eye.

In an instant, he reacted.

Bang!

A sharp piece of wood flew past his face, finally embedding itself in the log.

Ye Xiu was always alert to his surroundings; naturally, he paid attention to the sudden approach, but his attention was focused on the man’s power manipulation and movements; he didn’t expect the wood from logging to suddenly appear.

Moreover, it was too close, too sudden; he didn’t react in time.

If it wasn’t for the institute head’s sudden dodge, that piece of wood could have severely injured him.

"Some accident, are you okay?" the other man asked with a smile.

Gu An looked at the man and shook his head, "I’m fine."

"Then I’ll continue logging, be careful," the middle-aged man resumed his powerful logging.

Gu An lowered his eyes, thinking a lot for a moment.

Continued to log afterward.

The middle-aged man didn’t say anything else either; he also continued logging.

No issues for the rest of the day.

Until night time.

Gu An was logging, and the middle-aged man was also logging.

Amongst the sounds of logging, suddenly something flew out.

Bang!

The object was directly caught by Ye Xiu, who looked at the middle-aged man coldly.

"Logging accident," the man smiled, "fortunately, nothing happened, let’s continue logging."

Ye Xiu wanted to storm out, but Gu An calmly said, "It’s fine, continue logging."

He had just detected a Qi from the man’s body.

This Qi could affect Ye Xiu.

Just a moment ago, Ye Xiu should have reacted faster.

But under the influence, he almost missed catching the wood.

The other party had come prepared.

And for some reason, he had targeted him.

Continue logging then; if the magic is filled and there is really a conflict, taking the chance to escape might be a good thing.

It could rid him of this team.

However, not many logs had been cut tonight when something else flew by.

Gu An saw Ye Xiu reach out, but...

The influence appeared again, stronger than before, the stone skimmed past Ye Xiu’s hand, flying towards Gu An’s face.

Smack!

Ye Xiu suddenly turned his hand back and caught the stone. He looked towards the direction from which the stone came; it was another man.

Mid-stage Returning to Void cultivation.

"What are you doing?" the Late Stage Returning to Void middle-aged man asked coldly.

The Mid-stage Returning to Void man shrugged, "I just wanted to see the reaction of this attendant, after all, such things can happen while logging.

It’s also good to train."

"Don’t do this kind of thing again, get back," the Late Stage Returning to Void man scolded angrily.

Then he looked at Gu An and said, "Daoist Gu, please don’t mind, this is my Junior Brother, I will surely punish him severely when we’re back."

Ye Xiu slowly lowered his hand, without uttering a word.

He wanted to strike out, but still held back.

Impulsiveness would bring a lot of trouble.

Gu An looked at Ye Xiu, then at the stone-thrower who showed Mid-stage Returning to Void, his face was full of smiles, as if waiting for his reaction.

Withdrawing his gaze, Gu An returned his focus to the stone, which had a strange Qi layer on it that could captivate the soul.

If he were to be hit by the stone, it was likely...

The odds would not be in his favor.

"Ye Xiu, which hand did he use to throw the stone just now?" Gu An suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiu was stunned, "I don’t know."

Gu An: "..."

You are quite honest.

The stone-thrower began to laugh, "I was doing a good deed, don’t remember is also okay, I had no ill intentions."

Gu An slightly shook his head and said, "Never mind, since we don’t know which hand, let’s just disable both of them."
