After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 546 - 356: Chu Meng: And You Said You Weren’t Interested in the Commandery Princess
Outer Peak.
Gu An’s courtyard.
Upon entering the courtyard, he sat upright and waited for Chu Meng to speak.
Meanwhile, Chu Meng circled around Gu An, making tsk-tsk sounds from time to time.
Making Gu An feel uneasy.
"It’s different, you’ve become at least twenty years younger, you don’t look like a fifty-year-old at all." Chu Meng commented.
"It was the impact from logging before. Now, even though the decay and fatigue are gone, I still look like I’m in my forties." Gu An answered seriously.
"Someone in their forties shouldn’t look like you, full of energy, Qi-Blood like fire." Chu Meng looked at Gu An and said, "Men are indeed all hypocrites.
Next month is the day to choose a marriage partner.
Didn’t expect you’d go to such lengths.
I initially thought you went to Luo Sheng Hall to hide.
Who knew, you went to get younger.
Worried that with your previous appearance, the Commandery Princess wouldn’t favor you?
You claimed you didn’t care for the 200 pounds Commandery Princess, now it seems it was all an excuse.
But indeed, at your age, finding a Daoist couple isn’t easy.
I can understand you." She said.
Gu An: "...."
You sure do have a lot of ideas.
However, this transformation was truly just an accident.
Starting tonight, I’ll be chopping down the Moon Tree.
Then, the status will be reduced.
I’ll return to the previous form.
Moreover, this status is indeed not viable.
Though the chance of being selected isn’t high, reverting to the previous decayed and tired appearance ensures more safety.
An alliance with the Royal Family is a good thing for others, but for me, there’s a lot at stake.
As they say, many in the Royal Family are not free to choose.
Of course, I can’t step into that.
Besides, I’m still young, with limitless potential ahead.
At this age, one should focus on cultivation.
How can you be bound by a Daoist couple?
One must wholeheartedly pursue the Dao to reach the peak.
Chu Meng sat down, looked at Gu An, and shook her head.
"Why is the senior shaking her head?" Gu An asked.
"It’s the first time seeing someone change so quickly." Chu Meng said, eating peanuts:
"When you entered, I thought I was mistaken.
Shouldn’t have expected it was really you.
You’ve certainly worked hard for the Commandery Princess."
"It has nothing to do with the Commandery Princess." Gu An explained.
"I know." Chu Meng sighed, "As your superior, I must attend to your self-esteem. Having a superior like me, I actually envy you."
Gu An: "...."
Would you care to listen first?
Seeing Chu Meng about to speak again, Gu An quickly said, "Senior."
Only then did Chu Meng look over.
Gu An seriously said, "Is there a task for you to come over this time, Senior?"
"Task?" Chu Meng remembered and said, "Indeed there is a task. Recently it’s heard that someone from the Zhuanlun lineage received a different kind of reincarnation, your task is to find this thing. If you can obtain it, even better.
There will definitely be Token Fragments."
"For me, to do this task in the Sect, isn’t it very difficult?" Gu An asked.
As for Chu Meng knowing this information, he felt nothing in particular.
The previous task from Jiuxiao Pavilion has confirmed that his superior must have many sources of information.
Of course, some covert matters are known faster by Dongfang Xiaoling.
"Not difficult." Chu Meng said while eating peanuts, "You are a spy within the Zhuanlun lineage, might even become a marriage partner.
Such a person will easily catch their eye.
It’s said, this time they wish to recruit members of the Royal Family."
"Is this news known to everyone?" Gu An curiously asked.
"Of course, recruiting from the Royal Family has always been a task of the Zhuanlun lineage. Now with a better reincarnation, the first target is certainly the Royal Family.
Also, there are currently two alliances with the Royal Family, one with the Dao Sect, and one with the Cangmu Sect.
Which of these gaps do you think is more suitable?" Chu Meng asked.
After a bit of thought, Gu An replied, "Can it not be those of the Royal Family who have little lifespan left?
Also, those who lost in the power struggle within the Royal Family, they need power, and reincarnation can offer them enough strength.
They are actually easier to recruit."
Chu Meng slightly nodded and said, "You make a point with that, but the task has been assigned, whether you want to do it or not."
"Is there something simple?" Gu An asked.
"There is." Chu Meng looked at Gu An with clear eyes and said, "But I didn’t fight for it, I fought for the hard one.
Have you forgotten that I’m either putting stumbling blocks in your way or on the road to put them?
How can I let you complete tasks easily?"
Gu An: "...."
You’re indeed focused on those stumbling blocks.
However, this special reincarnation mentioned by Divine Monarch Hall hasn’t indicated its location.
Seems like it might come to Cangmu Sect.
But it’s unsure if it’s true or false.
If it does come, maybe I have a chance to complete the task.
Obtaining it might not be feasible, my current ability is lacking.
Yet if I’m insufficient, surely Chu Meng is sufficient.
Actually, this task can be accomplished.
As she said this, Chu Meng brought out a bunch of food.
Gu An looked at the variety and tried some.
Then, seriously asked, "Is this the Second Maid’s doing?"
"Yes, how does it taste?" Chu Meng looked at Gu An asking.
Gu An thought for a moment and gave a confirming reply, "As consistently stable as always."
Chu Meng eating peanuts, looked at Gu An.
Causing the latter to feel slightly guilty.
It must be said, the Second Maid’s dishes are mediocre.
Even inferior by three points compared to mine.
However, as a maid, it’s not easy for her.
I hope she remembers my kindness.
If encountered, don’t make things difficult for me.
Before, seeing the two maids around Chu Meng, didn’t seem like people easy to converse with.
One careless mistake could lead to doom.
