After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 274 - 227: Senior, You Don’t Need to Use the Charming Technique Next Time

Chapter 274: Chapter 227: Senior, You Don’t Need to Use the Charming Technique Next Time

"Nothing else to say?"

Entering Qingmu City, Chu Meng spoke up.

Gu An replied with a helpless tone: "Did senior just come to talk about these things?"

"It’s quite impolite for you to ask that," Chu Meng said seriously, "especially to a superior like me. By asking, you’ve offended me.

Do you know how small the ’shoes’ you’re in have gotten?"

Gu An imagined it and felt that they must be too small to wear.

After all, if you could wear them, they wouldn’t be called ’small shoes’.

Chu Meng looked around and said, "Haven’t we arrived at your place yet? My food is getting cold."

"We’re almost there," Gu An responded.

If there was food, he should’ve said so sooner. Why did he walk so slowly?

But he didn’t say anything.

Suddenly, he was puzzled.

Chu Meng spoke up, asking a strange question, "Do you know why I suddenly asked you about your Storage Treasure?"

Wasn’t it something you just thought of on a whim? Gu An was curious inside.

But he still cooperatively asked, "Why?"

Chewing on peanuts, Chu Meng laughed, "I’ve heard that Li Yue is dead, and the reason for his death is because he was in the Sword Immortal Bamboo Forest.

Since your Heavenly Suspension Peak people were also there, it’s natural to question you.

The final conclusion was that you encountered Li Yue, but were trapped by Luu Ping’s Sword Array, unable to get in or out. Is that right?"

Gu An was surprised in his heart. That meant that the people from Spirit Controlling Peak had already been to Heavenly Suspension Peak.

And indeed, they got the very answer that Brother Luu Ping had given.

Without letting Gu An speak, Chu Meng continued: "Regardless of whether there really was a Sword Array, the fact is you were the last person to see Li Yue.

Do you think the Spirit-controlling Sect people will come to ask you about it?

If they want to see your Storage Treasure, will you show it?

If you don’t, and they forcibly try to take it, what will you do?

What would the conclusion be if it’s taken from you?"

Gu An fell silent for a moment, unsure of how to speak up.

"If he confronts you, manhandles you, takes your Storage Treasure and then returns it, what would you say is your total loss?

It’s just some injuries from a friendly competition, no big deal.

Under such circumstances, it wouldn’t be enough to mobilize the Law Enforcement Hall," Chu Meng looked at Gu An, curious, "What would you do in this situation?

What if they find something related to Li Yue in your Storage Treasure?

Not to mention Magic Treasures and Elixirs, even Spirit Stones could be identified.

If they use this to persecute and kill you, what then?"

Gu An remained silent.

For a moment, there was a flicker of shock in his heart.

If someone really asked him to hand over his Storage Treasure.

Would he hand it over?

Nine times out of ten, he would not.

Handing it over could cause problems, and not handing it over could also lead to conflict.

At that point, he would surely have to act.

His cultivation level would then be exposed.

An exposure wouldn’t matter if it could solve the problem, but what if it couldn’t?

Gu An looked at the person next to him and asked, "Does senior know who will stand up for Li Yue?"

"A direct disciple from Spirit Controlling Peak named Si Wuye, apparently he shares your taste for keeping beauty in golden houses.

He occasionally visits the brothels too.

If he takes a fancy to an Immortal down the mountain, they usually end up in trouble.

But he adored Li Yue, believing he would someday touch her heart.

He sincerely thought Li Yue was different from other women, a light in his life.

He would even call others Brother Zhong and Brother Ye.

Now that Li Yue is dead, he’s extremely angry.

It won’t be long before he finds you, and although his cultivation is strong, his Divine Sense tends to lose control because he once encountered a Deviation during his cultivation."

Chu Meng said as he followed Gu An into a small shop, then sat in the principal seat and continued: "I had someone investigate, and Li Yue seemed quite capable, seemingly able to soothe Si Wuye when he lost control.

Now that she’s gone, you’re going to be implicated no matter how you look at it.

They probably don’t believe what Luu Ping said."

Chu Meng took out some dishes and continued: "Has he sought you out yet?"

Gu An sat down and took up his chopsticks, starting to eat; the cuisine today was somewhat ordinary.

Problems due to the Second Maid’s cooking, more likely.

"Today, a senior brother came looking for me and asked me to see him, but I didn’t go. Not sure if it’s someone from Spirit Controlling Peak," Gu An shared truthfully.

"Why didn’t you go?" Chu Meng asked, munching on a pastry.

He took only one bite before putting it back down, casually adding: "I’ve tried it for you, not poisonous; it’s yours."

Gu An: "...."

Was that testing for poison?

That was just bad taste.

Ignoring the pastries, Gu An replied, "He didn’t say who was looking for me, so I didn’t dare go."

"It’s right that you didn’t go. He would definitely want to see your Storage Treasure.

You need to be prepared," said Chu Meng.

"What should I do if that senior brother comes looking for me?" Gu An inquired.

"His cultivation should be at Primordial Spirit Perfection, just waiting for Li Yue’s return before attempting to advance," Chu Meng pondered then spoke: "Can you escape?"

Gu An shook his head.

Primordial Spirit Perfection, and one about to advance.

He was no match.

Even at a Late-stage Primordial Spirit, he was not sure he could take action directly.

Direct Disciples are usually geniuses; the ones he’s beaten were disciples from the foot of the mountain.

After coming to the mountain top, he seldom engaged with peers of the same level.

Not to mention a Direct Disciple.

Those were not the kind of people he could provoke.

"This matter is troublesome for you," Chu Meng mused: "Unless that woman finds someone to eliminate him, there’s no way you can hide.

Of course, as your superior, I won’t simply stand by and watch.

If you’re worried, send me a message and I’ll come to demand your release."

"Wouldn’t that reveal everything?" Gu An asked.

"We are allies; if I don’t save you, who will?" Chu Meng stated sincerely:

"Even if it’s exposed, it’s better than you dying."

Gu An was slightly moved.
