After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 288 - 233: Kneel Down and Let Me Slap You (Part 2)

Chapter 288: Chapter 233: Kneel Down and Let Me Slap You (Part 2)

And the Spirit Bamboo was brought by Gu An.

Heavenly Suspension Peak directly announced the list, declaring the hero.

The storm of reputation belonging to Gu An began to sweep across.

The previously negative impacts were continuously being overshadowed.

Of course, this was mostly due to the Merit Hall.

The beneficiaries of the Sword Immortal Spirit Bamboo were too few, and it could not spread widely.

Especially since some people held high regard for themselves, they were unwilling to use it because of Gu An.

It tainted their Sword Intent.

There were still those who felt Gu An was taking credit for others’ merits.

Until two and a half months later.

Mid-November.

The Sword Immortal Spirit Bamboo was completely formed.

People from Heavenly Suspension Peak almost poured in to feel the benefits brought by the Sword Immortal Spirit Bamboo.

From this day forward, those who had various complaints.

Gradually began to transform.

The reputation belonging to Gu An began to be rectified at Heavenly Suspension Peak.

Even if someone spoke ill, they would be refuted.

But because of this, those who genuinely harbored resentment felt dissatisfied.

Yet no one dared to refute randomly.

"Do not forget to thank those who dug the well when you drink water; since you’re here to temper your Sword Intent, you must stay silent."

What is the point of tempering while cursing?

*Shame to be associated with the likes of you.*

This was the current state of Heavenly Suspension Peak.

*Regarding these, Gu An did not know and did not care.*

*Whether people spoke well or poorly of him, he would mostly avoid it without feeling either happy or sad.*

*Part of the reason was that cultivating the Seven Emotions and Six Desires slightly dulled his emotional perception.*

*Another part was an instinctual avoidance; the praises and criticisms of others, if allowed to affect him, would bring as much pain in the future as happiness now.*

*Becoming the version of oneself in others’ eyes, falling into the discussions of others.*

*Caring too much about oneself in others’ eyes.*

*Was bound to become lost.*

*And eventually suffer the consequences.*

*To maintain clarity, recognize oneself, then feel the good and evil of others.*

*Thus, one would not suffer.*

Of course, it was said this way, but doing it was not easy.

But if someone truly cursed him to his face.

He would still get angry.

Gu An sat in the courtyard of the Outer Peak, thinking while listening to the reports from Pang Wen and Shu Ci.

The reports were still about Linghua Valley.

"That area collapsed, and currently, it looks like it’s indeed our constructions that have problems.

It’s the terrain issue, considered a force majeure.

But the people from Linghua Valley insist we dig." Pang Wen said with slight dissatisfaction,

"There is a faint black aura in that place, and it doesn’t seem like a good place, especially since Spiritual Energy can’t operate when you get close.

Which means we can only dig like ordinary people."

"Aren’t they afraid there might be treasures?" Gu An asked curiously.

"Initially, that’s what they thought, if there were any progress, they would just have us compensate a little.

But an accident happened, and now their people dare not venture recklessly.

Besides, they claim it’s their territory, and whatever gets dug up is theirs.

In short, our construction collapsed with their stuff buried in it.

They insist on having us dig it out." Pang Wen said angrily, "Some are too unreasonable."

"Even the Demon Sect isn’t as rude." Gu An remarked.

"Yes, they aren’t this overbearing with the Demon Sect either." Shu Ci replied with a laugh.

Gu An remained silent for a moment, then said, "Report truthfully and let the higher-ups decide how to handle it.

If further negotiation is needed, I’ll go take a look this time."

Hearing this, Pang Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

Shu Ci paused and asked, "Team Leader, are you truly as rumored outside?"

Gu An was slightly curious, "In what way?"

"A celebrity of Heavenly Suspension Peak, supported by the Merit Hall." Shu Ci inquired.

Pang Wen was also curious.

He couldn’t imagine that the leader he once gave a hard time.

Had quickly become a Peak Master’s disciple, and also a celebrity at Heavenly Suspension Peak.

Backed by the Merit Hall.

It was truly incredulous.

Was there anyone at the Same Realm as him at the Outer Peak?

Probably not.

Gu An looked at them but didn’t answer the question, instead saying, "Focus on the tasks, if there are rewards this time, the extra goes to you both, as I’ve been away frequently, it’s tough on you both."

"Yes," Pang Wen replied immediately.

After a pause, Gu An asked, "I remember there is Thunder Wood in the backyard."

"Yes," Pang Wen nodded, a bit puzzled.

"If we hire people to do logging in the backyard from the Inner Sect, is it feasible?" Gu An asked.

Upon hearing this, Pang Wen and Shu Ci paused.

As if pondering.

Then Pang Wen said, "It’s generally not feasible; it needs to be applied through the Main Court, someone applied before, without results."

"However, things might be different for the Team Leader." Shu Ci earnestly said, "If it’s just one or two people, not anyone important, it might be possible.

Especially now, your standing in the Sect is thriving day by day.

Your reputation is resoundingly widespread, especially under the support of the Merit Hall."

"Write a note, I’ll sign it, and then apply," Gu An said looking at Shu Ci.

Then he looked at Pang Wen and said, "Let Shu Ci, the junior sister, handle such small matters in the future, focus on task-related things."

Both nodded respectfully.

Then Gu An threw out two bottles of Elixir Pills for cultivation, saying,

"Take some for the others, you two split the rest.

Your cultivation is too weak and needs to be improved quickly.

If you have questions on cultivation, feel free to come and ask me."

Gu An did not know much about cultivation, even though he cultivated in dreams, he only understood his cultivation.

But he could ask the Blood Demon Divine Monarch.

Of course, he also needed to cram related knowledge.

Otherwise, making them wait a day for simple questions would be slightly embarrassing.

The Leader also needed the dignity of a leader.

The two were quite pleased.

Then they went to work busily.

Gu An looked at the time and felt it was about time.

After waiting for a moment, he could head for Qingmu City.

These days, the Law Enforcement Hall also gave a rough answer.

Which was that he mostly cleared the suspicion.

Primarily due to lack of evidence.

This matter was being handled, but they just couldn’t find anyone.

It was said that more obvious traces were found during the pursuit, tracking for a long while, but they couldn’t find the target.

During this period, people from the Left Court came to talk with him, giving greetings.

They didn’t intend to win him over.

*Probably waiting.*

Waiting for the Law Enforcement Hall’s final conclusion.

*After all, it was still under investigation; they wouldn’t want to recruit and then have issues.*

And then have trouble.

Soon, Shu Ci came over, saying the Main Court approved.

They could recruit from the Inner Sect, as long as they released people.

"Whom does Senior Brother plan to recruit? Also, the cleaners in the Academy’s second team, the Main Court doesn’t pay Spirit Stones,

but they give a position.

However, they would provide ten Spirit Stones as a subsidy." Shu Ci said.

Gu An nodded, thinking for a moment, then said, "Go to Qianchen Peak, find someone named Yu Tu, and ask if he wants to come to the Outer Peak for logging."

"What about the compensation?" Shu Ci asked.

"Just the subsidy Spirit Stones." Gu An said casually.

Shu Ci nodded, then left quickly to handle the matter.

Gu An was slightly surprised, that the other party didn’t make small moves like before.

*That was good.*

Meanwhile.

In the logging forest below Qianchen Peak.

In a corner, a burly man was directly kicked flying.

A punch landed heavily on his face.

Directly causing him to fall to the ground, blood oozing out.

But he struggled to get up, glanced at them, and in the end, said nothing, just continued logging.

"Yo, what’s wrong? Didn’t you use to resist? Go ahead and resist for us to see."

"Aren’t you going to talk back? Oh, I remember now, you’re mute."

Saying this, the three around laughed uproariously.

They were deliberately coming over to severely injure and humiliate him.

Just to prevent him from recovering.

After all, doing so gave them Spirit Stones, does anything else matter?

*Just a weak Outer Disciple.*

*Who would stand up for him?*

"I heard if you resist, someone will throw things at your house; I’m very curious about what they’ll throw, why not try resisting?"

Yu Tu clenched his jaw.

Finally, he lowered his head and continued logging.

One chop after another.

Now, even logging, he was unable to complete.

He couldn’t earn Spirit Stones either.

But he was unwilling to give up.

If he did anything, his parents would be threatened.

*He felt powerless and didn’t know what to do.*

*Even leaving the Sect seemed impossible.*

"Boring, a mute, can’t even resist. Now, I give you a chance, come here, kneel and let me slap you a few times.

Then we will leave and not bother you, maybe today you can complete the task."

Saying this, the three laughed again.
