After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 303 - 241: You’re 50 Already, Probably Not Up to It

Chapter 303: Chapter 241: You’re 50 Already, Probably Not Up to It

Gu An was sitting in the room. Upon hearing the noise, he turned his gaze towards the door.

Waiting for the person outside to push the door open.

During this time, he placed the small tree he had previously picked up into his Storage Treasure.

Perhaps, it might be needed later.

Taking something out of a Storage Treasure was one thing, but taking it out from the Void Star would expose the Age Cycle Twelve Stars.

The loss would outweigh the gain.

As for hiding it.

He had no such intention; unable to control it himself, it would also be difficult to sell.

Better to exchange it for something useful.

After all, a tree that could not be logged was, for him, merely of exchange value.

Then came the waiting.

But after only a few breaths, the door creaked open.

Chu Meng walked in, sighing as she spoke, "I wanted to feed Mian some food, but I didn’t expect it to be gone."

Seeing Gu An, she was not surprised, simply saying, "Lately, you’ve become famous in our Sect, and not just in our Sect; other Sects have also heard about your deeds.

After all, for your sake, Cangmu Sect directly pressured Linghua Valley."

While speaking, she sat opposite Gu An and took out some food, naturally including peanuts.

This time she was smart, asking Gu An to pour tea before eating.

The latter did so with a resigned air, but still poured a cup of tea.

"What brings Senior here this time?" Gu An asked as he put down the teapot.

"Do you know why you’ve always been unable to improve?" Chu Meng asked.

"Because Senior’s superior is my top." replied Gu An.

Chu Meng glanced at Gu An: "Eat your food. If I didn’t ask you to speak, then keep your mouth shut."

Gu An didn’t mind, picking up his chopsticks and eating.

He realized that this time, it must have been the Second Maid who cooked. It wasn’t as delicious.

But satisfactory.

Mainly because the ingredients were quite good.

Chu Meng, eating peanuts, asked:

"What did you encounter in Linghua Valley?"

Gu An thought for a moment and honestly replied: "A forest that could extend; they said the forest could twist space and enlarge the Barrier."

Speaking, Gu An recounted all the events.

Of course, he just spoke of the past.

Like discovering the forest, logging, and then digging a hole.

In the end, being rescued.

He said not a word about killing people.

"It sounds like the Dark Night Forest." Chu Meng, looking at Gu An said, "Did you get anything?"

At her words, Gu An took out a seedling while eating, casually saying, "I got this, but I didn’t enter the door, so I don’t know what’s inside.

Then their people came, and I had no chance to enter."

"You brought this thing out?" Chu Meng exclaimed with some surprise: "This is a valuable item, the core of the Dark Night Forest’s Barrier, with this, combined with an Array and various Spirit Trees, it can form a powerful Barrier.

Moreover, inside the Barrier, Spiritual Energy will gather more, which is greatly beneficial for Cultivation.

And you brought it back?"

Gu An looked at the tree with slight surprise.

This thing is that good?

But...

He didn’t know how to use Arrays, nor how to combine it with Spirit Trees.

So, he looked at Chu Meng: "Can I submit it?"

Chu Meng seemed surprised: "Submit to whom?"

"To Senior," replied Gu An.

"Me? You mean to submit it to that woman, right? Are you so loyal to her?" Chu Meng commented: "I’ve told you, she’s not going to like you, why are you being so stubborn?

Even though you’re a bit old and impetuous.

And quite capable of causing trouble.

But you’re actually fifty, you should have your own pride.

That woman is not worth emptying your heart to please.

In the end, pleasing her gets you nothing."

Gu An: "..."

I want to exchange for other good things.

Can’t you clear your head?

"Can I submit it as part of a mission?" Gu An asked.

"Mission?" Chu Meng was startled, replying: "Right, have you completed your mission?"

Gu An was quite taken aback; I had a mission?

After pondering for a moment, indeed he had.

He had forgotten it.

"You forgot?" Chu Meng was incredulous:

"You took your superior’s assignment lightly?

I painstakingly brought you food and helped you progress.

Is this how you repay me?"

Speaking, she stood up and shifted the dishes in front of Gu An to her side.

Gu An was a bit embarrassed: "Of course, I remember; just no leads."

Chu Meng, munching on peanuts, said: "You’ve disappointed me so much; no wonder you get tripped up.

Sometimes I think I’m petty, but turns out you deserve it.

Wait and see, I’ll keep giving you trouble."

Gu An fell silent.

Didn’t you say there would be no punishment?

Afterward, Chu Meng continued:

"But this item cannot be handed over to that woman."

"Why?" Gu An asked curiously.

"Because many people have seen that forest, and for sure will be able to know about the forest.

This small tree will naturally be discovered by someone.

People from the Law Enforcement Hall will come to a conclusion from interrogation, and Linghua Valley’s people will also discover anomalies at the scene.

So, there will definitely be people watching this little tree," Chu Meng answered earnestly.

Gu An was somewhat surprised.

He thought he had covered all his bases.

Unexpectedly, everyone recognized this forest, meaning they also knew the core was likely taken by him.

Fortunately, he didn’t want to keep the item either.

"So, if this thing ends up in the hands of that woman, then it means you are her man.

This is very unfavorable to you," Chu Meng said.

Gu An nodded: "Then I will hand it over to the Merit Hall."

"You really are willing." Chu Meng said feelingly: "You don’t want to keep the tree?"

"It’s too small," lamented Gu An: "Can’t be logged."

Chu Meng fell silent.

"However, even though Dark Night Forest is useful, its origins are not simple at all," Chu Meng stared at Gu An and seriously said: "Don’t let the tree’s size fool you, for it to form, at least ten cities must be destroyed, it’s said that some from the Demon Sect are especially fond of gathering this thing."
