After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 272 - 226: Chu Meng: You Killed Again

Mei Jianghe, the person in charge of the backyard of the Merit Hall, looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six.

With a heroic look in his brows and a stereoscopic face, he carried a bit of a scholar’s air.

Quite appealing to the Immortal.

Gu An looked at the person before him, feeling a slight sense of surprise.

Especially since the other party had brought out some books.

Probably on talisman making, alchemy, arrays, forging, planting, and so on.

Allowing Gu An to choose one.

"Junior Brother, pick one." Mei Jianghe spoke.

With a smile on his face, he seemed very eager for the person in front of him to agree.

Gu An casually picked up the Alchemy book; these books should be much better than those from small shops.

He had no talent for talisman making or arrays, and he didn’t know about alchemy either.

If that was also lacking,

Then only planting and forging were left.

There were others too, but they were quite niche.

If he lacked talent in all of them...

Then he would have to accept his mediocrity, and focus solely on improving his cultivation.

Holding the book, he still looked somewhat doubtfully at the person before him.

After giving away the items, Mei Jianghe finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I’ve heard of Junior Brother’s reputation."

Gu An was somewhat surprised.

He was somewhat acquainted with the Law Enforcement Hall, but he shouldn’t have any entanglement with the Merit Hall.

Of course, he had caused some trouble, and observant people could still become aware of it.

"The main reason I hope Junior Brother could stay on the list for a while is because of Junior Brother’s knack for getting into trouble," Mei Jianghe said with a wry smile: "In recent years, hardly anyone is willing to stay on the list.

Everyone feels that being on the list doesn’t hold much significance.

Firstly, the Merit Hall hasn’t stood up for those on the list in a long time.

It’s not that we aren’t willing, but those who make the list are not ordinary disciples.

They hardly have big troubles.

So, the Merit Hall doesn’t get the chance to demonstrate the list’s purpose.

By the time they encounter trouble, they’ve already fallen off the list.

The Merit Hall is even less likely to intervene then.

But Junior Brother is different; although you are not in trouble now, likely many in the Sect have issues with you.

Perhaps it won’t be long before Junior Brother encounters some problems.

So, we from the Merit Hall would like to use Junior Brother to make a name for ourselves."

Gu An was somewhat astonished, thinking the Merit Hall should be a rather serious place.

In charge of the Sect’s majority of resources.

And most of the Sect’s tasks are distributed by the Merit Hall.

Its status far exceeds ordinary peaks.

After all, many Sect Disciples need Merits to exchange resources.

The tasks distributed cannot be refused easily.

Who would have thought, they also needed to make a name for themselves.

Mei Jianghe looked at Gu An, pouring tea for everyone present, and with a sense of melancholy said:

"Don’t be fooled by the Merit Hall’s apparent glory, constantly issuing tasks and providing various resources.

In fact, to other disciples, the Merit Hall is just a place for exchange, with no sense of authority.

Do we lack resources?

Of course not.

Do we lack manpower?

That too, we are not lacking.

But what we lack is trust.

Some people in the Sect could complete great Merit tasks, but they think it’s not worth it and give up.

Some obtain some useless opportunities, and even if it’s a waste, they won’t hand them over to the Merit Hall.

They fear being targeted, not just by the Merit Hall but also others who might covet if they found out.

This is distrust towards the Merit Hall.

As long as they hand it over, and get on the list of the Merit Hall, the Merit Hall will provide them protection and escort.

Within the Sect, who dares to plot against them, harm them severely, or even kill them.

The Merit Hall will seek justice for them.

Dig out the person behind the scenes and deal with them according to the law."

As he spoke, Mei Jianghe’s hand lightly flicked.

As if killing a person could be done effortlessly.

Hearing this, Gu An was a bit taken aback.

But he still felt it was very dangerous.

Additionally, what if the person behind the scenes held a high position or power?

Or what if the person behind the scenes was from the Merit Hall?

It’s no wonder others don’t trust; rightly so, the Merit Hall isn’t all-powerful.

They might trouble some disciples of the mountain or not lack Direct Disciples.

But what about those higher up?

Can they really do it?

Gu An didn’t verbalize anything.

Instead, he nodded and said earnestly: "If I can make the list, I can wait a few months."

These few months to advance wouldn’t be so easy.

After all, he would be stuck at Qi Sea Sky Gang for a while.

And who knows when he could achieve Great Success with his Qi Sea Sky Gang earlier than his cultivation.

In the end, Gu An accepted Mei Jianghe’s invitation to have a cup of tea, after which the other party thanked him a few times before they parted ways.

Duanmu Qing didn’t linger either, taking the items and returning to report.

Afterward, he mentioned that in the next period, Gu An’s reputation will spread all over Heavenly Suspension Peak.

He also mentioned that many had died in the previous secret realm, presumably due to Zuo Youyan’s doing.

If it really was him, then some turbulence would certainly arise in the Sect.

Be cautious.

Gu An thanked him, then returned to the Outer Peak.

For now, he must try to avoid going back to Heavenly Suspension Peak.

Although this good deed was attached to him, what if many think it’s a fabrication?

Or what if they say he stole others’ accomplishments?

With weak cultivation and not much popularity,

Anything could happen.

Better to avoid it for now. Not that no one believed,

But undoubtedly there would be skeptics.

With a thousand people come a thousand thoughts.

Once a powerful person gets a bad idea, wanting to make him prove it, it would be an undeserved disaster.

This matter couldn’t be proven.

Upon returning to the Outer Peak, Gu An found Duanmu Qingping.

"Junior Brother has returned?" Duanmu Qingping smiled and said:

"I thought Junior Brother entering the secret realm would take quite some time to come out.

Did you gain anything this time?"

Duanmu Qingping was born handsome and beautiful. Now he is at the Golden Core Middle Stage,

Having advanced a few months ago.

"I have some gains." Gu An answered simply, then said:
