After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 489 - 328: You’re Hiding Your Cultivation_2
Gu An took another look and saw a fairy whose beauty was like a flower.
But that’s just the feeling he got.
He had no intention of looking further.
"What kind of magic treasure is this?" Gu An was somewhat shocked.
In his eyes and feelings, the beauty beside him was like a fairy flower, but he had no thoughts of looking more closely, no thoughts of recognizing her.
He couldn’t feel her beauty.
It directly affected his senses.
"It’s similar to the ’All Living Beings’ technique, ’Thousand Divine Thoughts.’" Chu Meng continued to munch on peanuts and said:
"It can influence a person’s senses, but some can break through it.
Once your cultivation is higher, you won’t be affected."
Gu An didn’t know how high his cultivation needed to be.
Following the river, Gu An found two people resting by the riverside, both men.
When they saw Gu An, their pupils shrank.
They wanted to flee.
But one of them was extremely weak.
They had wanted to take a drink but did not expect to see someone here.
"Just passing by," Gu An said soothingly.
The two were skeptical, clutching swords in their hands, warily watching Gu An.
It wasn’t until Gu An had moved forward that the two began to believe.
The injured man hesitated, then kindly warned, "There’s a strange corpse up ahead, very dangerous, which really shouldn’t appear on the periphery.
It’s best if you two fellow daoists are cautious."
Gu An and Chu Meng exchanged glances.
Curious.
"Do the seniors know?" Gu An asked.
"I don’t, it’s my first time here," Chu Meng replied, then paused and looked at Gu An: "Do you know?"
"It’s also my first time, but could it be related to the task the senior mentioned?" Gu An was mildly curious.
Hearing this, Chu Meng also felt it might be related.
The two of them quickly walked forward.
On the way, Gu An asked, "Those two have cultivation around the Primordial Spirit stage, and both were injured; will it be very dangerous for us to go there?"
Chu Meng thought seriously for a moment and said, "I have a way."
Gu An looked curious.
Chu Meng continued, "At that time, I’ll close my eyes, and you take action, so I won’t know that you’ve hidden your cultivation."
Gu An: "...."
You really are understanding.
But isn’t it possible that the cultivation is sensed rather than seen with the naked eye?
Soon, Gu An and Chu Meng arrived upstream.
There, there was an open space.
Surrounded by many people.
Mostly Golden Core and Primordial Spirit.
And someone had used a magic treasure to draw a circle on the ground, preventing others from getting closer.
"Fellow daoists, this is a place valued by Senior Sister He; we hope everyone could offer some convenience," a voice sounded from within the magic treasure.
As Gu An and Chu Meng got closer, they saw a huge Demon Beast corpse on the open ground.
And beside the corpse was a bottomless cave.
It was unclear what lay below.
And right in front of the corpse, the Immortal who had circled the area with the magic treasure, looked to be about twenty-five years old, with Primordial Spirit Early Stage cultivation.
Her words quickly angered the others.
"What Senior Sister He? If you want the corpse, take it, but we want to enter the cave," someone shouted loudly.
"This was first discovered by Senior Sister He, so naturally, it belongs to her," the Immortal said immediately. "Otherwise, why are there only Senior Sister He’s magic treasures around here, and not yours?
Who it belongs to is self-evident."
"You just placed the magic treasure down; what, do you think we’re all blind?" someone else angrily shouted.
Gu An and Chu Meng stood behind, watching: "Weird, why aren’t they making a move?"
"No one wants to be the first to stick their neck out," Chu Meng found a tree to sit on, eating peanuts and said,
"This Senior Sister He is probably not simple.
But that cave is not simple either; no one knows what’s down there.
Of course, the corpse isn’t bad either, maybe it’s the person we’re waiting for.
But if everything goes too smoothly here, it’s not good either; we might as well break the barrier of the magic treasure first."
Hearing this, Gu An looked forward with anticipation at Chu Meng.
He wanted to see how powerful she was when she took action.
However, Chu Meng looked at him.
The two stared at each other.
"Why are you looking at me?" Chu Meng asked.
"Isn’t senior making a move?" Gu An asked.
"I’m at the Perfect Foundation Establishment; how can I break it?" Chu Meng countered.
Then she suddenly realized, "Are you trying to take advantage of this opportunity to see my unparalleled beauty?"
Gu An: "...."
You really have a lot of ideas.
However, he glanced at the Barrier and felt that a Mid-stage Nascent Soul’s power should be able to break it.
Then he took a peanut from his hand.
With a flick of his finger, he released it.
The peanut flew past everyone at an incredibly fast speed, colliding with the Barrier.
Bang!
A crisp sound erupted.
Followed by another clang.
The Magic Treasure shattered on the spot, and the Barrier disappeared.
In the next moment, everyone charged in.
The woman shouted angrily, ordering people to back off.
Suddenly, an attack from nowhere hit her directly.
It alarmed her, forcing her to retreat.
"Shall we go in?" Gu An asked.
Chu Meng shook her head: "We’re just here to wait for someone, what’s the point of going in? You want to adventure inside?"
Gu An shook his head.
Naturally, not going in was for the best.
Who knows what dangers lay inside.
However, everyone else had entered, leaving only them outside.
At this moment, that Immortal noticed them.
She immediately ran over and said: "Go and inform Senior Sister He now, if you’re a step late, only you two will be to blame."
Huh?
Gu An and Chu Meng exchanged glances.
A bit puzzled.
"Only you two are afraid to enter; it seems you are Senior Sister He’s people. I need to stand guard here to see if anyone brings out any valuable treasures.
You go and call for Senior Sister He," the Immortal spoke.
Gu An shook his head: "We’re not Senior Sister He’s people, we’re just here waiting for someone."
"Even if you weren’t before, you are now. I will recommend you, getting one of you to be Senior Sister He’s guard and the other her Maid," the Immortal said condescendingly: "Leave immediately, or if you delay and miss the time, I won’t let you off lightly."
Huh...
Gu An momentarily didn’t know how to speak up.
Chu Meng, eating peanuts, heard for the first time that someone wanted her to be a Maid.
Having four Maids herself was already too many; she wondered if Senior Sister He randomly accepting another Maid would find it to be too much.
"This Immortal, perhaps you should seek someone else?" Gu An awkwardly spoke.
"This is an opportunity for you," the Immortal said as she reached to grab Gu An’s collar to make him go fetch someone.
However, as she approached, Gu An helplessly kicked out.
Bang!
The kick sent her flying away.
The Immortal fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Looking at Gu An, she couldn’t believe it.
Aren’t you in the Golden Core Late Stage?
"Immortal, we really have no desire to be guards or maids; please don’t make it difficult for us," Gu An explained.
The Immortal: "..."
She glared at Gu An and said: "Who are you? When Senior Sister He arrives, she will make you regret this."
Gu An looked at her, feeling that Senior Sister He must have a headache having such a follower.
As if she was afraid of having too few enemies.
"My name remains Zuo Youyan, my seat unchanged," Gu An calmly said.
Upon hearing this, the Immortal was stunned and said: "The Zuo Youyan who killed a Direct Disciple?"
"It’s me," Gu An nodded.
Hearing this, her face was filled with terror.
No longer the arrogance she had before.
Gu An kindly stepped forward: "Immortal, you’re about to fall into the pit."
This made her even more terrified as she propped herself up and kept retreating.
Gu An wanted to remind her again.
Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky.
Landing between the two.
A man appeared abruptly before Gu An.
"Fellow daoist, please show mercy," the man said calmly and confidently: "This is my Junior Sister, I hope fellow daoist will give me some face.
And stop here."
These words sounded vaguely familiar.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed an acquaintance.
It was Zhan Tai Xiu.
Gu An looked at him strangely; it seemed Zhan Tai Xiu was very fond of selling his favor.
"Although I don’t know what happened, my Junior Sister is still a weak woman, and probably had no ill intentions.
Even if she did something, fellow daoist doesn’t have any injuries.
Since there’s no harm done, why not just let this go?
How about that?" Zhan Tai Xiu spoke to Gu An softly.
Gu An looked at him, took a step forward, and approached him.
Then a slap fell.
Slap!
A crisp sound echoed.
Zhan Tai Xiu stared with furious eyes.
"Even though I hit fellow daoist, there’s no substantial harm done, why don’t we consider this matter settled, how about that?" Gu An slowly said.
