After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 504 - 335: Just Pretend to Be Seen by the Eye of Heavenly Punishment_2

He was lucky indeed, but perhaps not to such an extent.

Previously when he went out, it wasn’t this exaggerated.

Originally, he was worried about taking them out and facing issues, but now it seems leaving them in the First Institute poses a bigger problem.

"In the future, let Immortal Yue Han bring people to help you complete the missions," Gu An said.

Although Pang Wen and Shu Ci did not understand why, they still nodded in agreement.

"Recently, there have been people approaching our vicinity, likely seeking the team leader," Shu Ci said.

After pausing, she continued, "They are mostly disciples stuck at bottlenecks for years, some at Foundation Establishment and some at Golden Core."

Gu An understood their meaning—they wished to become part of the Zhuanlun lineage.

This technique consumes life as power to break through bottlenecks and might also impact one’s mind.

In principle, the life or death of others has nothing to do with oneself.

If they want to learn, just give it to them.

But...

Teaching it around carelessly can easily cause problems.

He could only decide at the moment.

"Additionally, someone from the Joy Sect is looking for the team leader," Pang Wen said again. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Joy Sect?" Gu An was slightly surprised, not expecting that people from the Joy Sect were also searching.

In principle, he did not know anyone from the Joy Sect.

Then Gu An looked towards Shu Ci.

It might be because of her that they came.

After confirming that the person would still come at the beginning of July, Gu An inquired about other matters.

Nearly half a year had passed, and everyone’s cultivation had improved significantly.

This was indeed good news.

With no other issues, Gu An let them leave.

The forty thousand Spirit Stones he also had them take back to personally hand over to Chen Changfeng.

The items were almost all found by the other party; he could give them to the First Institute but the First Institute could not accept everything indiscriminately.

What had been accepted before was accepted; from now on, no more indiscriminate acceptance was allowed.

As Shu Ci left Gu An’s residence, she said while walking,

"Does Senior Brother Pang think the team leader is happy?"

"The team leader is a rather reserved person; whether happy or not, he won’t show it," Pang Wen replied.

Shu Ci "oh"ed, then took two steps forward, tilted her head towards Pang Wen, and with a beaming smile asked, "Then does Senior Brother think I am happy?"

Hearing this, Pang Wen was somewhat flustered and then shook his head, "Probably not very happy."

"Oh?" She looked puzzled and asked, "Why is that?"

"Recently, when Junior Sister checks the book contents, you occasionally seem distracted, probably thinking about something heavy," Pang Wen explained.

Shu Ci looked at the person in front of her and then asked, "How is Junior Sister Ruan’s mood?"

"Quite happy," Pang Wen replied instinctively.

Shu Ci curiously pressed, "How did Senior Brother find out?"

"Recently, whenever Junior Sister Ruan returns from the Middle Court, she brings some snacks to share; probably she encountered something happy," Pang Wen answered.

Hearing this, Shu Ci smiled and said, "It’s been like this recently."

"Yes, it wasn’t like this before," Pang Wen added.

Shu Ci nodded gently, "It wasn’t like this before."

Pang Wen nodded in agreement.

Shu Ci stepped back, concealing her previous smile and said, "Senior Brother observes quite carefully."

Pang Wen truthfully replied, "The tasks of Team One are quite significant, the team leader is extremely busy, so it’s necessary to observe the emotions of the fellow junior brothers and sisters to ensure the tasks are suitable, to try and spare the team leader some trouble."

Shu Ci was slightly surprised, then did not delve further into these topics but instead said, "The team leader doesn’t manage; is it quite tough for Senior Brother?"

"It’s not just me who is busy, isn’t Junior Sister also doing a lot? Occasionally when the book text is too sloppy, Junior Sister would rewrite a copy," Pang Wen said.

Shu Ci was astounded.

Normally, books should pass through her hands before agreeing to give them to Pang Wen to submit to the team leader.

Simply put, Pang Wen had to manage most people’s work as well as various important matters, while she needed to deal with various trivial matters.

The team leader only managed the bigger picture.

Some cultivation practitioners indeed had sloppy handwriting, so she would rewrite a copy whenever she had free time.

However, she had not informed anyone, and it was almost always done in her leisure time.

"How did Senior Brother know it was me?" Shu Ci curiously asked.

"I can recognize Junior Sister’s handwriting at a glance," Pang Wen said as they walked, "Junior Sister’s handwriting has a bold and uninhibited feel, but recently the written characters have been somewhat heavy; is there something on your mind?"

Shu Ci walked behind, her brow lowered as if lost in thought.

Afterward, they returned to the First Institute.

Recently, they had all been here.

Even the tasks of Team Two were arranged here.

After all, the previous Team Two did not have a place to work; they just took on tasks and then went out.

Pang Wen went to handle some matters.

Shu Ci sat at her spot, once again starting to transcribe books.

This time when she wrote, she had a strange feeling.

She had never thought before that anyone would pay attention to the handwriting.

But now, she felt something indescribable.

However, her recent concern was about the people from the Joy Sect, not knowing whether they would disturb her peaceful days.

...

Afternoon.

Gu An waited for two people.

A man and a woman.

Their cultivation levels were inscrutable to Gu An.

It was evident they were very powerful.

"Met the two seniors," Gu An respectfully saluted.

These two people, one a middle-aged man, the other a mature beauty.

They seemed like a Daoist couple.

"No worries," the middle-aged man calmly said, "You can call me Shangguan He, and by my side is my Daoist partner Nangong Qing."

Originally, they were not Daoist couples, merely fellow disciples.

But after encountering the Cangmu Sect, they realized that escaping was nearly impossible.

The gap in cultivation was too vast, and they had no intentions of releasing them or reemploying them.

To get rid of the Cangmu Sect quickly, they decided to practice Dual Cultivation.

So they became Daoist partners.

It was also a way to keep each other warm.

After all, without helping each other, not only would they be bullied by people from the Cangmu Sect, but also by the Fire Phoenix Clan.

They didn’t even dream that the Cangmu Sect’s backyard was actually raising the Fire Phoenix Clan.

Is this what they call a second-rank sect?

Which second-rank sect raises Fire Phoenix?

It was unthinkable.

Aren’t they afraid of retaliation?

"What should I do?" Gu An softly asked.

"The Heavenly Maiden Lineage lost an important item this time, Junior Brother, do you know what it is?" Shangguan He asked.

Gu An shook her head.

Actually, she understood.

"It’s a transparent box, and you can see a crimson eye inside it. You don’t need to know what it is called, but you need to know what it looks like. Moreover, upon seeing it, some marks will appear on you.

Those are what they will judge from.

I will teach you a technique to simulate these marks, when someone investigates, you just need to activate it," Shangguan He said as he took out a book, "I have already written it, study well, you should be able to learn within three days.

I will come and check occasionally.

If possible, after Junior Brother learns it, keep it activated non-stop.

People from the Heavenly Maiden Lineage are also very cautious; they will test randomly."

"What will they do if they confirm it?" Gu An curiously asked.

"They will retrieve that item, and many people will come, but they will probably not think the item is with you, just that you’re informed.

Ultimately, they will still target the sect.

This item is extremely important to the Heavenly Maiden Lineage; it is said there’s someone of high status who cannot tolerate that item reemerging," Shangguan He said.

Hearing this, Gu An was somewhat astonished.

It meant that someone in the Heavenly Maiden Lineage had also been seen by the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.

Once the Eye of Heavenly Punishment breaks free from its seal, so must he die.

So, the seal must definitely be suppressed.

Although the item is currently sealed, without it in hand, it’s akin to not having life in hand.

Thus, the Heavenly Maiden Lineage must retake the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.

Otherwise, they would probably wish someone would take over the item.

Gu An realized that the situation was more complicated than she had expected.

But what the sect thought about it, Gu An had no clue.

After teaching Gu An a lot, the two left.

They glanced at each other, lamenting, "This person is also pitiable, becoming the subject of suspicion, probably won’t have good days ahead.

Even if it is false, other members from the Heavenly Maiden Lineage will not let him go.

Those who want to catch him would only grow in number.

Moreover, I heard that he has the items of the Fire Phoenix Clan.

When people come, aren’t the Peak Masters no match, yet can’t they vent on him?"

The two shook their heads and sighed.

Now, they really had no right to pity anyone else.

This is the way of the Cultivation World.

The weak, can only face various dangers.

A small misstep could lead them to die in the power struggles of the mighty.
