After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 522 - 344: Gu An: I’m Willing to Be Inspected, the Sect Need Not Stand Up for Me
I’ve heard that the only people who entered the secret realm were Junior Brother and a certain Junior Sister.
She holds a high status and position, and the Buddhist people might not even be able to see her."
Upon hearing this, Gu An was suddenly curious and asked, "Did the Buddhist people say they want to see Chu Meng?"
"Yes, they are probably still arranging the conversation," Duanmu Qingping replied.
Gu An was rather surprised; the Buddhist sects indeed have confidence.
They even need to summon a disciple like Chu Meng for questioning.
Indeed, the major sects come without caring about the Inner Sect, Direct Disciple, or True Inheritor.
Not to mention the disciples, even the entire Cangmu Sect does not catch their eye.
Gu An had been waiting for the Buddhist sect to come for an investigation, while also keeping an eye on the direction of the Main Court.
During this time, suddenly the Main Court was enveloped in Buddha Light, which drew the attention of those from the Outer Peak.
But soon, the Buddha Light disappeared.
There wasn’t any power conflict.
It left people puzzled.
Gu An just watched, not daring to investigate further.
After all, he couldn’t gauge the strength of the Buddhist people at all.
If discovered, it would truly be troublesome.
Of course, the dominance of the Buddhist sect might draw trouble towards himself.
Sooner or later, he would have to go over and let them inquire.
Fortunately, he was still a marriage partner candidate, so he likely wouldn’t be thrown out as a scapegoat.
As for Chu Meng...
She had someone backing her, so it shouldn’t be her either.
The question was whether there would be other troubles.
Gu An thought of many things and made many plans.
But until the evening, there was no news.
No idea why.
On the other side.
In the Cangmu Sect Hall.
Qu Youdao looked at the old monk below and said, "Fellow daoist, we truly don’t have Zuo Youyan here. Zuo Youyan betrayed the sect long ago, and moreover, we heard he has already perished.
Perhaps you have mistaken?"
The old monk sat there, calmly looking at Qu Youdao above, with two younger monks standing behind him.
They seemed calm and peaceful, yet did not pay any regard to Qu Youdao.
Even with Situ Baichuan and others sitting opposite, they also showed no concern.
As if the minor Cangmu Sect was just a small sect.
There was no need to pay it much heed.
Their coming was never to discuss.
But to inform the other party of what should be done.
"According to Benefactor’s words, this Zuo Youyan is someone impersonating?" The old monk looked at Qu Youdao and said calmly, "I inquired the people at Jiuxiao Pavilion, and according to them, they, too, are hearing the name Zuo Youyan for the first time.
Your Cangmu Sect didn’t go, so they didn’t know Zuo Youyan.
Once there, someone knew.
According to Benefactor’s words, wouldn’t that mean the impersonator is precisely someone from your Cangmu Sect?"
Hearing this, Qu Youdao slightly squinted his eyes and smiled, "Fellow daoist, you are mistaken. Zuo Youyan was once a disciple of our Cangmu Sect, and this is well known.
The people of Cangmu Sect understand this even more clearly.
If they wanted to impersonate, why would they impersonate someone from their own sect?
Wouldn’t that just cause themselves trouble?"
"What if it’s just to clear themselves of suspicion?" The old monk looked calmly at Qu Youdao and continued, "Our important Buddhist disciple was killed by someone from Cangmu Sect, and this is known to all.
If not, why would I not seek out Jiuxiao Pavilion but come specifically to find your Cangmu Sect?
Of course, the Buddhist sect does not wrong people, and whoever killed our disciple would be tainted with Buddhist karma.
As long as those who went come out for me to investigate one by one, the truth will come to light."
"What if there isn’t?" Qu Youdao asked, squinting his eyes.
The old monk’s expression did not change as he recited a Buddhist chant, "The Buddha is compassionate and unwilling to cause more killings, but Zuo Youyan ultimately was a disciple of Cangmu Sect, so we hope Cangmu Sect gives a reasonable explanation."
Qu Youdao bowed his head, looking at the old monk and shaking his head: 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
"I still think it shouldn’t be someone from our Cangmu Sect; the ones who went to Jiuxiao Pavilion were either in the Golden Core or Primordial Spirit stage, or even Foundation Establishment.
How could they kill a high monk from the Buddhist sect?
I think fellow daoist is overthinking."
Upon hearing this, the old monk looked deeply at Qu Youdao and said, "Benefactor, if you think we are overthinking, then let us inspect once, to dispel the Buddhist sect’s concerns. Otherwise, ongoing concerns are not good for Cangmu Sect.
Especially since Cangmu Sect still claims to be the Demon Sect.
We hope Benefactor does not lead oneself astray."
Situ Baichuan looked at the other party, wiping his long sword.
Yan Ruxue added, "As the Peak Master of Cangmu Sect, I still trust the sect disciples; they would definitely not dare to act against such a major sect as the Buddhist sect."
"Indeed, investigating others is fine but Gu An is our Cangmu Sect’s hero and could never commit such an act of harming a high monk from the Buddhist sect." Qu Youdao spoke.
"I have indeed heard of him, and heard that he behaved rather eccentrically at Jiuxiao Pavilion, so why not examine him first?" the old monk said.
Upon hearing this, Qu Youdao shook his head, "We cannot agree to this, and will absolutely not let such a disciple bear such unwarranted grievance. You have no evidence that it was him.
How can you inspect him like this?
"Our Cangmu Sect will not agree."
Upon hearing this, the old monk looked coldly at Qu Youdao and recited a Buddhist chant: "Buddha is merciful, but also has Vajra’s anger, and will never let any possibility slip away."
As soon as the words fell, an invisible pressure spread out.
Qu Youdao squinted his eyes, his face serious: "We are the same; we absolutely won’t let the sect disciples suffer such shame."
With that, the Qi spread out.
Faintly on the losing side, but soon Situ Baichuan’s Sword Intent spread, the two of them joined forces, trying to suppress the opponent.
The two monks behind were about to release their power.
But the old monk refused.
He withdrew his power, stood up, looked at Qu Youdao, and said calmly:
"Benefactor insists, so this poor monk will not disturb further.
Just hope Benefactor can bear Buddha’s reproach."
As soon as the words fell, the old monk left with the two monks.
After the people left.
Qu Youdao laughed and said: "I wonder if the monk will go back to get reinforcements."
Situ Baichuan shook his head and said: "Not likely, but surely they’ll do something else."
Yan Ruxue laughed and said: "I wonder if these people will secretly find someone to confirm."
"Can’t let them confirm; they’ve already said Zuo Youyan is a fake, so we must follow his lead.
If it’s confirmed that others are not, how can we give those people new identities later?" Qu Youdao laughed and continued: "We also won’t say who it is; anyway, there’s always one possible person.
If there’s a problem in the future, they’ll definitely come looking.
Also, I wonder if they’ll release the news after leaving, saying we refused, probably hiding something.
Zuo Youyan is someone pretending to be him."
The three looked at each other and laughed.
....
The next day.
Gu An had not yet received any relevant news.
It seems the Buddhist people came to the Outer Peak, not because of him.
"Could it be I overthought it? Actually, no one cares about me?"
Gu An laughed self-deprecatingly.
He had been a bit paranoid lately.
Thinking too highly of himself.
Only on that day, he received news that there was a conflict between the Buddhists and Cangmu Sect.
The Buddhists wanted to use karma to determine if those going to Jiuxiao Pavilion killed Buddhist High Monks.
But the sect refused, especially when checking someone, the sect still refused, saying disciples on the Merit List wouldn’t accept such investigations.
Now everyone suspects whether he is connected to Zuo Youyan.
Gu An was stunned when he heard these rumors.
How could Zuo Youyan be related to him?
He agreed very much to check karma.
He didn’t disagree.
He wished the other side would come to confirm.
Because he used Blood Spirit, basically impossible to be detected.
He felt he could directly cooperate with Buddhists to clear himself of suspicion.
Not allowing checks feels like more explaining is worsening the situation.
Being on the Merit List has such a downside?
This was something he hadn’t thought of.
He misunderstood the sect, having a name on the Merit List is even more useful than he imagined.
Just.....
This time, obviously, no need to refuse, a check would remove himself from the vortex.
Now, it instead feels like he has some problem.
Mainly that he truly has a problem...
For a moment, Gu An had an inexplicable feeling.
He feels...
Cangmu Sect’s strategy against him.
No, he must have Zuo Youyan kill from a distance, otherwise, it truly can’t be explained.
On the other side.
Spirit Bamboo Peak.
Immortal Xue Ying heard the news and laughed.
"Seems smoother than expected, the Buddhists should take action against that person, Cangmu Sect will usher in a period of chaos."
"First Institute’s Gu An is destined to be mine."
