After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 8 - : Lead, You Shouldn’t Have Opened the Door

Gu An was unaware of what people like Yang Shi were saying.

But he could guess some of it.

However, these things didn't matter.

Now, death loomed before him, and if he didn't handle it correctly, nothing else would be of concern.

Neither a man of low status nor a hypocrite was after his life at this moment.

But the hidden team leader and the poison within him could be fatal.

After leaving the Spirit Tree Garden, Gu An faintly felt someone was following him.

His perception had improved significantly since his promotion.

But it also made it easy for others to notice that he was aware of their presence.

So he dared not use his perception too much.

He wished there was some kind of magic he could cultivate for this purpose.

At least to be able to detect the situation one step ahead of others.

It would be convenient.

On the way, Gu An took a trip to the workshop.

He had promised to go in the morning.

"Three broken spirit stones?" Gu An was somewhat surprised.

In the past, three stones could buy two.

"Yes, I've heard recently that something happened in the Sect and it might affect our workshop market, so many talismans have gone up in price," said the Loose Cultivator vendor with a sigh.

Gu An was speechless; the Body Cleansing Talisman was one of the lowest grade talismans and useless against turmoil.

It was understandable for Healing Talismans, Attack Talismans, Defense Talismans, and Spirit Concentration Talismans to go up in price.

But why did these go up as well?

The shopkeeper soon provided an answer: "Because they are not making those talismans that didn't increase in price. I am the only one persisting, so the price has to go up when the supply is low, right?"

Gu An was at a loss for words.

Afterward, he visited a few more shops and found that there really were no Body Cleansing Talismans left.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and go back to haggle, and in the end, he bought two Body Cleansing Talismans with four broken spirit stones.

Only then did he head back to his residence.

He didn't have many spirit stones; all added up, it was just three spirit stones plus three broken spirit stones.

He couldn't buy many Body Cleansing Talismans.

For a moment, he felt that those with a talent for talisman making were quite profitable.

No wonder Yang Shi was quickly courted by families once his talent for talisman making was discovered.

As this event delayed him, Gu An sensed impatience in the covert observer, with an undertone of malice.

If he proved to be of no use, he could even be killed.

With a sigh in his heart, he took steps towards his dwelling.

Qingshui Garden.

Gu An safely returned to his own yard.

But as soon as he opened the yard, the person lurking in the shadows couldn't wait any longer to appear.

The speed was very fast, like a gust of wind whistling to arrive.

Hundred Steps Chasing Wind, Gu An was somewhat surprised.

It seemed to be at just Small Success.

If he couldn't compete with the opponent, it didn't mean there was no chance of escape.

Upon spotting the person, Gu An pretended to be surprised and said, "Team Leader."

Shang Yundong looked at Gu An with a cold voice and asked, "Is this your residence?"

"Yes," Gu An nodded.

"Are you hiding anything?" Shang Yundong asked bluntly.

While speaking, he even stepped forward into the yard, not caring at all whether the yard's owner consented.

"I'm not hiding anything," Gu An followed behind and replied.

It was just a person he had hidden.

"Really? I want to go in and take a look," Shang Yundong said mockingly as he looked at Gu An, "Do you have an opinion?"

"No," Gu An shook his head, "If the Team Leader wants to look, of course, there are no issues. I'll lead the way."

"It seems you're not completely useless; at least you know how to be a qualified dog," Shang Yundong sneered.

He was at the Qi Refining Fourth Layer, and the person before him was at the Third Level of Qi Refining.

That was not the biggest gap.

The real gap was that one was a Qi Refining Fourth Layer in his twenties, and the other was Third Level of Qi Refining in his forties.

The difference between them was as vast as heaven and earth and insurmountable.

As for how well the other used the Mountain Opening Fist, no one cared.

To them, Outer Disciples, it was just the most basic technique.

Weak and time-consuming.

Just something to deal with grudges.

Gu An paid no mind to the other things but walked to the doorway and pushed open the main door, saying:

"This is the main hall."

Shang Yundong looked at the chopping block in the yard and indeed sensed the smell of the Demon Beast.

Nothing suspicious caught his eye upon inspection.

Inside the main hall, it was rudimentary and lacked any decoration, indicating the poverty of the owner.

Yet this was not what Shang Yundong wished to see, and Gu An's indifference made him feel that today might have been a waste of time.

Especially the dawdling of the other during the pursuit, which irritated him even more.

A fierce glare occasionally flashed in his eyes.

He would make this person regret it later.

There was no particular reason, just purely because he was in a bad mood.

"I'll lead the team to check the kitchen." Gu An walked towards the kitchen and opened the door to a rather messy set of furniture.

All ordinary items, nothing worthy of attention.

Shang Yundong's face was gloomy.

"The bedroom is across." Gu An pretended not to see and walked towards the bedroom, then immediately opened the door, saying:

"Please, this way, team leader."

Shang Yundong stepped into the bedroom, his displeasure growing at Gu An's openness and composure.

He really wanted to kick him away.

At this moment, Chu Meng, who was originally resting in the training room, felt something odd.

Someone had come? She was quite nervous.

Judging by the voices, one was certainly Gu An, but there was another person.

That respectful tone, was it that bitch's people who had come?

Chu Meng grew somewhat worried for a moment.

Although previously eager, she now wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible.

But that woman...

Could she still live if she fell into that woman's hands?

With her own deep background, she would still struggle to contend with that bitch.

For a moment, she quietly backed away, trying to hide.

Gu An led the people into the bedroom, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

Shang Yundong looked around and finally rested his gaze on the door inside.

"That's the training room, used for cultivation," Gu An immediately explained.

"For a place like yours, you need a training room?" Shang Yundong scoffed.

"Team leader, you jest." Gu An asked, "Would the team leader like to take a look inside?"

Upon hearing the question, Shang Yundong's lips slightly curled upwards: "When you were introducing earlier, you didn't ask me, but now suddenly you're asking, do you have a guilty conscience?"

Gu An quickly shook his head: "The team leader misunderstands, I just see you're a bit impatient and didn't want to waste your time."

"Open the door," Shang Yundong said coldly.

Gu An nodded.

He walked over to speak.

But just as his hand was about to touch the door, Shang Yundong spoke again: "Wait."

At this, Gu An was somewhat surprised, withdrawing his hand to look back at the man behind him.

This door was actually very important; it was connected to the fate of two people.

If the door remained closed, everything could stay the same.

But if it were to open...

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

Gu An didn't continue the thought.

At this moment, Shang Yundong continued: "I'll open it myself."

Gu An nodded and stepped aside.

Shang Yundong approached the door and forcefully pushed it open.

Creak!

Bang!

The door opened.

The inside of the room was laid bare for all to see.

A simple room, no decorations.

But in a corner of the room was a disheveled woman.

She looked over with a hint of fear.

In an instant, Shang Yundong, aided by the evening sunlight, could see the woman's face clearly.

"Senior Sister Meng?"

He was unbelievably shocked, although he had suspicions before, he had never thought the person would actually be here.

He was burning with rage as he looked toward the person at his side.

However, just as he turned his head, suddenly a large hand clasped his throat.

The voice, calm and filled with emotion, came through: "Team leader, you shouldn't have opened this door."
