"Thank you, Senior Sister, for helping with the previous task."

Saying this, he took out some Elixir Pills suitable for Golden Core Cultivation and handed them over.

Giving Spirit Stones wasn’t appropriate, but Elixir Pills were just right.

Duanmu Qingping was slightly surprised but accepted them nonetheless, and promptly said:

"Junior Brother should be more cautious lately.

I’ve heard since you became a disciple, many people have been keeping an eye on you.

Now they’ve realized your reputation isn’t good.

Some wish to take advantage of this.

Especially since someone from an Outer Peak Master’s Court has become a Peak Master’s Disciple and has recently gained some notoriety.

By comparison, Junior Brother is isolated and your influence is gradually diminishing.

Some tasks from group two are meant as probes.

This month, you should have a particularly tricky task, specifically designed to test Junior Brother."

Gu An nodded; he was aware of this task.

This time it wasn’t a Demon Sect but a righteous sect that abides by principles.

However, some righteous sects can be very troublesome.

After all, not everyone acts honorably.

Of course, some issues indeed stem from Cangmu Sect, and significant compensation post incidents can make the sect seem incapable.

The slightest grievance is quite problematic.

After thanking her, Gu An didn’t return to his living place but planned to go to Qingmu City.

However, just as he was about to leave the Outer Peak, a young man blocked his way.

The man looked down at Gu An with disdain and said, "Gu An?"

Upon hearing this, Gu An nodded: "Which Senior Brother might you be?"

The man did not reply but commanded, "Come with me."

Gu An looked at the man, recognizing his Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivation.

He could be sure he had never encountered this person before.

He continued to ask, "May I know where Senior Brother is taking me?"

"Just follow when told. Do you really think so highly of yourself?" the man mocked. "You’re just an old guy in the Early Stage of Golden Core, who knows how many years old you are?

I’ve heard from some well-informed senior sisters and junior sisters that they estimate you’re just over two hundred years old."

Just over two hundred years old?

Gu An felt somewhat thankful to the man. Although he would be looked down upon, his reputation would improve immediately.

Counteracting it would only make him seem mediocre.

With a reputation, but no threat.

"Let’s go," said the man, intent on leading the way.

However, Gu An didn’t move.

The man sneered, "You won’t take the face given to you?"

Gu An looked at him and asked, "I’m still unsure where Senior Brother is leading me to?"

Now, not knowing whom he had offended, he naturally couldn’t go wandering about.

Moreover, Merit Hall said they would ensure his safety, so he shouldn’t have to worry too much about certain people and things.

Of course, he still had to be cautious.

"Is that something you should ask?" the man said contemptuously.

"Then I’d rather not go," Gu An replied.

The man sneered, and suddenly his Qi burst forth.

The Qi of a Golden Core Middle Stage enveloped Gu An.

To this, Gu An calmly said, "Are you a Peak Master’s disciple, Senior Brother?"

This simple question cooled the air like a cold breeze, suppressing the man’s power and Qi.

Ignoring the man, Gu An used Sword Control to fly away.

At that moment, the man’s eyes flashed with ferocity.

He wanted to kill Gu An.

Just an Early Stage Golden Core, he thought killing him would be as easy as crushing a mouse.

Of course, he wasn’t in a hurry but headed to the Inner Sect instead.

The attitude of Gu An required reporting to those inside.

Then a decision would be made.

Gu An could not escape; while it wasn’t necessarily he who should do the killing, anyone he had come in contact with had to be checked thoroughly.

Once any suspicion arose, the Senior Brother would surely act.

"Given Senior Brother’s temperament, if he could not find any suspicious individuals in the end, he would still torment those close by to try and expose something.

If it really comes to it, he would kill someone to let off steam."

"This Gu An is doomed; he can’t afford to be arrogant for much longer."

...

Gu An arrived at the outskirts of Qingmu City.

His true cultivation was that of the Late-Stage Primordial Spirit, but it appeared as though he was at the Golden Core Early Stage.

Someone wanted to take him away, but they only sent a man at the Golden Core Middle Stage.

Thus, it proved quite advantageous to conceal one’s true cultivation.

As for who was behind that person, Gu An did not know.

But suddenly being sought after, it had a significant chance of being related to the secret realm.

Those related to him in the secret realm were only Li Yue.

Whether it was him was hard to say.

If so, the threat would come from the higher reaches of Spirit Controlling Peak.

If it was that elder, then indeed, it would be quite dangerous.

"Seeing your furrowed brow, are you thinking about which Immortal to seek?"

A crisp and pleasant voice came abruptly.

Gu An immediately turned his head to look, and without knowing when, Chu Meng, holding a plate, walked over while eating peanuts.

Seeing this, Gu An’s eyes slightly narrowed.

He began to observe the cultivation of the person before him.

From Qi, gaze, finger strength, to skin toughness, he probed the cultivation of the person before him.

In a moment, his gaze became somewhat shocked.

The person before him had a profound and enduring Qi, flashes of divine light hidden in his eyes, his finger strength seemed average but capable of huge outburst.

He had not touched the skin, but judging from the overflow of Spiritual Energy, it completely surpassed his own.

More than Late-stage Primordial Spirit?

Why would that be?

Twenty-four-year-old Early Stage Primordial Spirit, he could understand.

It could be achieved with a flawless talent.

But twenty-four Late-stage Primordial Spirit.

What principle was that?

Could it really be a situation similar to his own?

Gu An was bewildered.

On the surface, Chu Meng, who had only Perfect Foundation Establishment, had actually already developed a Primordial Spirit and even reached a state mirroring his own.

No wonder Hua Jiyang said that Chu Meng was not simple and very dangerous.

It was better not to make contact unless absolutely necessary.

"Do I have flowers on me?" Chu Meng looked at herself, puzzled for a moment, and then joyfully said, "Have you finally noticed my beauty?

Do you want to fall at the helm of my pomegranate skirt?"

Gu An: "...."

You’re really confident.

"Did the senior suddenly come for a task?" As he spoke, he turned his head back and continued to walk towards the city.

"Your attitude is not acceptable." Chu Meng shook her head with a sigh:

"Did the superior come to see you just for tasks?

Can tasks compare to superior’s care for you?

You should first be thankful for your superior visiting you, then wait to see if I mention a task."

Gu An looked at the person beside him, unsure how to respond for a moment.

However, the person didn’t give him a chance to speak, just ate peanuts and casually said, "Are you pretending to be Zuo Youyan?"

Chu Meng spoke casually, but Gu An felt a twinge in his heart upon hearing it.

Then he shook his head and said, "What is senior talking about?"

"Look, you’re anxious." Chu Meng shook her head and sighed.

Then she promptly explained, "Let me analyze it for you."

With that, she handed over a plate and invited Gu An to eat some peanuts.

He just grabbed a handful and ate as he walked.

"It’s for you to hold." Chu Meng said.

He could only hold the plate up.

As such, Chu Meng grabbed a handful of peanuts, threw a few into her mouth, and said,

"First of all, I have a Maid who reported to me about the secret realm, telling me you might enter the secret realm.

She said your actions were quite reckless, and after entering, it might result in a mass murder.

Thus, it’s widely acknowledged that you have a killing addiction.

If you say you didn’t kill anyone, probably no one would believe it.

However, two to three months after the opening of the secret realm, you, who should have been violence-prone, didn’t kill anyone, and came out safely without any troubles.

But a Zuo Youyan, who was originally missing and soon to perish, caused a massacre.

Whether it’s people from our Sect or other Sects being killed.

Even put our Sect on alert.

This shows that it’s very likely you were impersonating Zuo Youyan."

Gu An was speechless.

Your logic is out of this world.

The discussion around Zuo Youyan was due to someone else impersonating him.

It had nothing to do with me.

"I guessed right, didn’t I?" Chu Meng jumped in front of Gu An and said proudly, "Being your superior, I do have certain wisdom."

Gu An fell silent.

His superior was full of dirty thoughts, completely untrustworthy.

Chu Meng didn’t dwell on this issue either, but reminded him instead, "Did you kill that person called Li Yue?"

Gu An: "..."

Why do you keep asking who I killed whenever you open your mouth?

And you’re so accurate, it really was me who killed her.

"It’s not me." Gu An shook his head.

"How do you know she’s dead?" Chu Meng asked back.

"Brother Luu Ping said it." Gu An replied calmly.

Don’t think about prying any more words from me.

"Do you dare to let me check your storage bag?" Chu Meng suddenly asked.

Gu An fell silent for a moment.

"You really did it." Chu Meng said excitedly, "Do you have to kill a couple when you are in a good mood, and also kill a couple when you are in a bad mood?"

Gu An: "...."
