After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 500: [ - 333: First Institute Ranked 1st? The Sky Is Falling, Part 2]

Actually, he also wanted to return as soon as possible to check on the ancestral inheritance.

But there were still matters that needed attention here.

Gu An shook his head and said, "Fellow daoist must have gained some opportunities, so we won’t disturb you, and we also have other tasks to attend to, so will not bother you further.

If there’s any more need of this kind, you can come to the Cangmu Sect."

Afterwards, there were some more polite exchanges, and Gu An and the others left under Chu Meng’s leadership.

Of course, two Primordial Spirits were also brought out.

They were tearfully grateful when they saw that Gu An had rescued them.

They had never expected to suffer so much in this journey.

But being able to return alive was already a good thing.

Gu An dared not accept their thanks, after all...

He was also partly responsible for the two being captured.

It was just that Gu An looked at Zhao Qingshan and Ye Xiu somewhat puzzled, "Why are you two seniors still traveling with us?"

"Seeing things through from start to finish; we shall accompany the chancellor," Zhao Qingshan said with a smile.

Gu An didn’t mind.

Before coming out, he did not want Zhao Qingshan to leave.

After all, he could guide others in their cultivation.

But now it seemed that Zhao Qingshan could also easily encounter problems.

On the road, Gu An and the others rested for a day in a large city.

It was proposed by Chu Meng, and no one dared to object.

And Gu An took this opportunity to sell some items he had obtained.

Originally he had twenty-one thousand Spirit Stones, and after selling, he obtained twenty-four thousand seven hundred and six.

Thus, he now had nearly forty-six thousand Spirit Stones.

It was unimaginable to think that he himself would be this wealthy.

Even when he split the sales among several stores, people still targeted him.

For this, he could only tearfully pick up another six thousand Spirit Stones.

Now, really, it was over forty-six thousand Spirit Stones.

With so many Spirit Stones, he needed to go back and carefully consider what he still lacked.

Try to improve himself.

Otherwise, the next time Hua Jiyang sent a message over, he would have to lose money again.

Mid-June.

Gu An and the others successfully returned to the Cangmu Sect.

Upon returning, the two Primordial Spirits breathed a sigh of relief.

This trip had been very suffocating indeed.

When Chu Meng left, the two bid farewell to Gu An and went back.

Thus, Gu An looked towards Zhao Qingshan and Ye Xiu, saying, "Seniors, we shall meet again in the future."

With that, he headed towards the Sect.

Zhao Qingshan did not hesitate at all and followed him.

Seeing this, Ye Xiu hesitated for a moment but also followed.

Noticing people behind him, Gu An looked back, puzzled.

"What do you two seniors mean?" he didn’t believe that the First Institute still had anything they needed.

Zhao Qingshan said, "I don’t want to leave yet; the chancellor still needs me, after all, many have not yet broken through."

Gu An hesitated for a moment, but eventually didn’t say anything.

As long as he didn’t take them out, it would be fine.

Then he looked towards Ye Xiu.

The latter was bowing his head, not even looking at him as he followed Zhao Qingshan inside.

Gu An: "..."

The other was not good at talking, but rather proficient at killing people.

But he was still curious, why else would this senior, a Returning to Void Perfection expert, remain behind?

Afterwards, Gu An shook his head and remained silent.

In the future, he would not bring them.

Better to first see how the First Institute had been in these past few months.

Back at Outer Peak, Gu An let Zhao Qingshan and the others go back on their own as he went to the Main Court.

He checked the rankings of the Six Courthouses.

Worrying that out of six, five remained and the one removed was his own First Institute.

He contacted the recording senior sister and asked for the rankings.

Soon, the rankings of these past few months were brought before him.

First, he looked at February.

Gu An thought they should still be able to maintain the fourth or fifth place.

But upon looking, he was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he had seen incorrectly.

First?

They had emptied their family treasury to maintain their ranking.

Although it was unexpected, it was still acceptable.

Then came March.

Seeing the name of First Institute at the very top, Gu An was somewhat shocked.

Does the First Institute have such deep resources?

Then he looked at April, still first.

May was also first.

Gu An was stunned.

What had happened?

How could the First Institute dominate the other five institutes during the months he was gone?

What kind of resources can achieve this?

From the records above, some things were directly returned.

And still maintaining first place?

What does winning consecutively mean?

Are these people trying to push me into a pitfall?

Gu An felt as if the sky had fallen.

The booklet in his hands became heavy.

Eventually, he couldn’t hold it anymore and had to place it on the table.

"Junior Brother Gu, congratulations. With the performance of the First Institute, Junior Brother is likely to become a member of the Royal Family," the Immortal who was keeping records congratulated with a smile.

Gu An found these words grating.

After responding briefly, he left.

He felt the air, which had been quite fresh before, was now becoming suffocating.

A perfectly fine First Institute, he couldn’t understand how it had become like this.

On the other side.

Zhao Qingshan and Ye Xiu returned to the First Institute.

Pang Wen immediately asked, "Senior Zhao, has the team leader returned?"

"Yes, there’s no major issue. The director probably went to check the ranking of the First Institute. If you have anything, you might as well go report now," Zhao Qingshan said gently.

Ye Xiu didn’t speak; he went straight to his cell and squeezed into a corner to sleep.

No one knew what he was thinking.

"Go to check the ranking?" Chen Changfeng said proudly, "Don’t know how excited the director will get after seeing it."

"What’s there for the director to be excited about? Have you ever seen him excited? I think he has no emotions," Yue Han said.

"Excited? Wouldn’t he rather be distressed?" Chen Changfeng mocked, "You’re just a failure, you don’t understand. Besides, you’re just envious."

"I am the Royal Princess, I think if you want to save face when you go out, you better watch how you speak," Yue Han seriously said, "Didn’t your master teach you that having more friends opens many paths? If you tell people that your friend is the Royal Princess, it could change your future."

Zhao Qingshan listened with a sense of strangeness: "What has happened these days?"

Hearing that, both Pang Wen and Yue Han among others felt a sigh.

They never expected such an outcome.

....

At the same time.

Above the Cangmu Sect Hall.

Qu Youdao and others were quite sentimental.

"First Institute has gone too far. If this continues, they truly will emerge victorious; nearly five consecutive wins now, his name has to be recommended," Qu Youdao said helplessly, "The Master isn’t here, and yet they seem stronger."

"Are you implying that they are mediocre only when the Master is here?" Situ Baichuan countered, "Regardless, this is their achievement, let’s not cancel it now."

"It’s indeed strange; so many items were returned, where did they get so many goods from?" Yan Ruxue said with a laugh,

"These people really are impatient for success, they’re easily targeted."

At this moment, the compassionate Immortal lamented, "They’re pitiful, bringing good items only to be surveilled."

Qu Youdao shook his head, "That’s fake pity, there are no tears this time. But none of these matters; the Royal Family will probably want an answer by the end of the year, these few months will determine the top three."

"Anyway, I’m definitely entering the final round," Situ Baichuan said with a smile, "When he returns, I’ll pass on some magic to him."

Qu Youdao looked around, "How about we lure someone from the Heavenly Maiden Lineage?"

The people from the Heavenly Maiden Lineage who came were too weak, they barely made a move.

So they kept waiting.

But for so long, the opponent hadn’t focused on the Cangmu Sect.

Although it was rumored that Gu An might have obtained a certain item, others seemingly didn’t believe it.

"Continue having Gu An disguise, but this time let the professionals handle it," Situ Baichuan suggested.

"Have someone from the Heavenly Maiden Lineage teach Gu An to disguise, and say he stole something? Good idea," Qu Youdao earnestly nodded.

Yan Ruxue suddenly spoke, "Do you think we can handle the item lost by the Heavenly Maiden Lineage?"

"Who knows? We still have the Sect Master, and we could just help find it and return it," Qu Youdao said.

Yan Ruxue didn’t say anything further.

"So pitiful," the compassionate Immortal lamented from her heart, "The Reincarnation lineage is after him, the Heavenly Maiden Lineage is after him, the Fire Phoenix Clan is after him, and he’s still so young, having to bear such pressure."

Everyone: "...."

Thinking about it, it really was the case.

This disciple was wonderful; they couldn’t let him be taken away.

Who knows, he might even inadvertently get involved in other matters.

The enemies of the Sect all depended on him to attract.
