After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 292 - 235: Don’t Like Talking to Me While Standing? (Part 2)

Chapter 292: Chapter 235: Don’t Like Talking to Me While Standing? (Part 2)

Their figures stood out in the open space of the small shop.

At this moment, Gu An’s hand was resting on Ouyang Lie’s shoulder.

The latter’s face was filled with shock, and then he felt a tremendous pressure from the palm on his shoulder.

Crack!

Bang!

Ouyang Lie stumbled and fell to his knees.

Only then did Gu An’s resigned voice follow: "Senior doesn’t like to talk while standing, do you prefer to speak while kneeling?"

This sudden turn of events was unexpected to everyone.

Qin Shufu stood frozen in place, somewhat in disbelief.

Ouyang Lie and his two followers were even more puzzled.

How did such a powerful person emerge from this shop?

That woman was also stunned on the spot.

It seemed the situation had somehow changed.

Gu An looked down at Ouyang Lie and did not speak again.

He was pondering a question.

Was this woman bad by herself, or had she conspired with the current Ouyang Lie to plot against Qin Shufu?

He was not a very clever person and had difficulty finding the answer from tiny clues.

That’s why he had just suggested to give it a try.

Who could have expected the other party would take action?

It was quicker than he had anticipated.

It seemed that there were not a few people in the Cultivation World more rash than himself.

"Fellow Daoist, it was my recklessness." Feeling an inexplicable oppression, Ouyang Lie hurriedly spoke up.

He had also been foolish.

Wasn’t it just a Qi Refining Sixth or Seventh Level?

How then could one hand press him down so hard he couldn’t even stand?

What is going on with the times?

When did Golden Core cultivators start disguising as Qi Refiners?

"May I express an opinion?" Gu An asked with curiosity.

"I am all ears," Ouyang Lie said seriously, bowing his head.

"It’s like this: the woman seems quite all right, she owes you Spirit Stones, and certainly, it won’t do for her not to repay.

But indeed, this shop is not hers, nor can she just claim someone is her Daoist couple.

If she says she is the Daoist couple of a Cangmu Sect Peak Master, should the senior go to Cangmu Sect to ask the Peak Master for Spirit Stones?" Gu An inquired.

"Yes, yes, Fellow Daoist speaks the truth," Ouyang Lie nodded earnestly.

"Then, since the shop won’t do, we can’t let you suffer a loss either." Gu An looked towards Wan Jingqian and said, "She is at the Golden Core Early Stage of cultivation, and since she has no Spirit Stones, why not sign a contract for her to protect you for a hundred years?

As compensation for the debt, does that sound fair?"

"This..." Ouyang Lie hesitated, and as he was about to say something,

Suddenly Gu An spoke up again: "Strange, my Ten Thousand Spirit Stones are gone, did Fellow Daoist Ouyang find them?"

Ouyang Lie looked up and met Gu An’s cold gaze, feeling a tingle in his scalp.

"One, ten thousand?" he ventured.

"Ten thousand," nodded Gu An.

"I, I think what Fellow Daoist just said makes sense," Ouyang Lie changed his tune.

Gu An said indifferently, "Call me senior."

In an instant, Ouyang Lie’s heart sank to the bottom.

This man was moody and unpredictable.

Eventually, he took out three thousand Spirit Stones, said cautiously, "Junior only has this much, and I will now sign a contract with this woman to settle the debt."

After seeing Gu An accept the Spirit Stones, Ouyang Lie got up and came over to Wan Jingqian.

"Senior Ouyang, we were..."

Smack!

As soon as she began to speak, Ouyang Lie slapped her, sending her flying out.

Her face twisted, her teeth scattering.

While she still had something to say, Ouyang Lie kicked her mouth. freёwebnoѵel.com

With a bang, a cry of pain sounded.

Then, Ouyang Lie grabbed Wan Jingqian by the head, forcing her to sign the contract: "Sign this, or die."

His face contorted, as everything that day had been because of this woman, humiliating him to the extreme.

Curse it, it was all because he was blinded by greed.

Believing her words.

Once this matter ended, Ouyang Lie immediately put on a smile and said to Gu An: "It’s finished now, if there’s nothing else, junior will take his leave?"

Gu An did not hold them back.

As for whether they would go and inquire about him, he did not care.

They probably could find out.

But for now, his reputation was also good.

They would not dare to mess around.

As for whether someone would play dirty,

Gu An was not worried, after all, Zuo Youyan was no vegetarian.

If he interfered once again,

Ouyang Lie would have a change of heart.

Just like Elder Huang, how could their hearts be black?

They were red.

After everyone left, Qin Shufu looked towards Gu An, unsure of how to behave.

After hesitating, he still respectfully performed a salutation: "I, I’ve seen you before, senior."

Gu An looked at him and shook his head: "Senior is being too modest, I’m here to work, you need not be so formal.

Also, I would like to request some time off at the beginning of next month, but I’m not sure how long it will be.

Is that okay?"

"Ye, yes, of course, it’s okay," Qin Shufu hastily nodded.

Although he didn’t know why, it seemed the other party was determined to be an employee.

What else could he say?

He couldn’t possibly think it was for those few Spirit Stones.

Now he was thinking, how much of the sold Spirit Stones should he take for himself.

As for hiring other people, he didn’t dare.

"Senior, go ahead and do what you need to; I will continue to keep the shop," Gu An said.

Hearing this, Qin Shufu breathed a sigh of relief.

However, as he was leaving, Gu An still reminded him: "Senior has just advanced to the Golden Core, you may be overjoyed, but though Golden Core is strong, one must not lose their true intent.

Otherwise, it is easy to invite disaster."

The other party expressed understanding and thanked him.

Then, he left.

Gu An did not pay much attention but cleaned up the hygiene, tidied the shelves, and continued to stay in the shop, waiting for customers to come.

In the evening.

Gu An encountered a familiar customer.

It was Mang Hu, who owed him Spirit Stones.

He came in and looked around, saying somewhat surprisingly:

"I heard from some folks that the Ouyang Family’s people came here, isn’t your shop going to be in trouble?"

Gu An, holding a book, looked at him and said: "It’s alright, our boss is very strong; even the Ouyang Family can’t bully us at will."

"Your boss is that powerful?" Mang Hu was extremely surprised, then he placed two Spirit Stones in front of Gu An: "Thank you for last time."

Gu An accepted the Spirit Stones and put them in the income basin, smiling: "You’re welcome."

"Could I possibly run up a tab for some more talismans?" Mang Hu asked with a smile.

Gu An shook his head: "You’ll have to ask our boss about that."

Mang Hu grinned sheepishly, then bought some talismans and paid with Spirit Stones before leaving.

Gu An took out the previous notebook and crossed out the line where Mang Hu owed money.

After midnight passed, Gu An received feedback from the Ring of Destiny.

[Yesterday afternoon, Ouyang Lie felt humiliated by you, harboring resentment. As soon as he returned, he beat Wan Jingqian half to death, scolded her for being nonsensical, a powerful person sitting there and she dared to overlook, and furthermore, she was planning to scheme against that shop with him.

He also cursed her, saying Qin Shufu was just a simpleton, very easy to bully, a few words and he could be bankrupted, now look what happened, I lose money, I am humiliated.

In the end, Ouyang Lie in response to her excuses, crippled Wan Jingqian’s cultivation and gave her to the servants.

In the evening, he sent people to investigate your background, regardless of what it is, he will let you know, in Qingmu City, he is not so easily bullied.

He will make you kneel and obey, make you hand over Spirit Stones.

Make you endure endless humiliation, and regret your actions today even more.

That same night, he received fragmented news.

In a breath, he took a sip of tea.

In an instant, he felt a coldness fill his body.

He decided to silently swallow the humiliation, never to mention it again.

It was his own recklessness, to be reminded by you was only right.

So he gave up his resentment towards you.]

Gu An looked at the feedback, silent for a long time.

This Ouyang Lie was somewhat different from what he had thought.

But what information did he receive that he would so easily give up his plans?

It’s better this way, this little shop will most likely not meet with any trouble.

He can still come here to work in the future.

However, he shouldn’t provoke mighty people, otherwise, he won’t be able to normally experience ordinary life.

And thus, it would be difficult to comprehend the Broken Blade Intent.

After informing his boss that he would not come in the next two days, Gu An returned to the Outer Peak.

He was about to go on an external mission, so he decided to visit Yu Tu.

To see what his current status was like.

However, he also needed to go to the Law Enforcement Hall and prepare the outbound registration.

Additionally, to see when he could completely regain his freedom.
