After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 34 - Good People Under the Gun
34: Chapter 34: Good People Under the Gun?
34 -34: Good People Under the Gun?
Watching the hints from the Ring of Destiny, Gu An felt somewhat emotional.
“Turns out good people should be pointed at with guns.”
“I kindly offered help, and she used my kindness to scheme against me.”
There was dissatisfaction, but no extreme thoughts.
In the Cultivation World, this is just the way it is.
Conscience should not be used casually.
Being merciful to an enemy is being cruel to oneself.
Only the strong can afford to release their conscience.
Otherwise, others will use every means to preserve themselves, as for retribution…
If not exploiting means death, does retribution even matter?
There is no such thing as retribution, if it exists at all, it’s just karma.
After a sigh, Gu An closed his eyes to sleep.
Tomorrow is another “work day.”
If “going to work” is a sad thing, then getting up early for “work” is even sadder.
What’s even sadder is going to bed early to get up for “work.”
Gu An shook his head and chuckled sarcastically.
Perhaps for others, logging is unnecessary, but for him, it’s a true path to getting stronger.
The next morning,
Gu An warmed up some food and started eating by the pond.
Halfway through, that little girl came again.
She yawned, seemingly woken up this time.
“Good morning, uncle,” the little girl greeted.
Gu An nodded as a way of greeting, then quietly continued eating.
The little girl squatted by the pond, apparently looking for the fish she had thrown in before.
But she didn’t find it.
After a while, she turned to look behind and said, “Thank you for yesterday, uncle.”
“It’s nothing,” Gu An replied plainly.
He didn’t blame the child; after all, she really was just a child.
Because of this, that woman continued to let her daughter come here.
Even actively encouraged it.
To evoke his compassion.
Gu An was not in a hurry, up to now that woman didn’t even deign to face him properly, the task could not possibly be completed.
Appealing to emotions is foolish, he must directly break through all her defenses.
Of course, simply defeating her was not enough, otherwise someone would have done it already.
Just wait for an opportunity.
“What’s your name, uncle?” the little girl asked, pointing to herself, “I am Guoguo.”
“Gu An,” Gu An answered simply.
The little girl blinked and finally nodded, “Okay, uncle.”
She seemed illiterate.
After a moment, Ren Shan arrived late, her hair messy and posture graceful.
She hurried up to Gu An, tidied her hair at her temple, and with an apologetic tone said, “I’ve caused trouble for Senior Brother.”
Her body exuded a feminine allure, messy yet tempting, Gu An glanced away from her face.
Sure enough, another Charming Technique.
But his face showed no expression, just nodding, “It’s nothing.”
Ren Shan did not linger longer than necessary, made her point and quickly left.
“She’s very beautiful, very charming, and also very cunning, impressive.”
Gu An commented and then took a bite of his dry food.
“However, she never mentioned an apology for yesterday, and who knows when she will.”
Exploiting his help for free.
Gu An shook his head and looked towards the slightly brightening sky, heading to the logging area.
Regardless of Ren Shan’s charm or her appearance,
Those are secondary.
The task is the same.
Nowadays, no matter how important other matters are, logging takes precedence.
Only two more times required to complete the ninth layer of accumulation.
At that time, the Qi Sea Sky Gang will no longer be as feeble as it is now, but will carry tremendous might.
Among peers, no one shall be a match.
Taking the axe, Gu An went to the spot where he was two days ago and began swinging.
Feeling the Warm Current, Gu An felt joy in his heart.
This Warm Current represents endless possibilities for the future.
Yet in the midst of this, Hua Jiyang approached.
“Junior Brother busy?” he greeted with a smile.
Gu An pondered, wondering why I wouldn’t be busy?
Still, he nodded and said, “Yes, Senior Brother, are you also busy?”
“Indeed,” replied Hua Jiyang with a smile.
“What a coincidence.”
Hua Jiyang looked around to make sure no one was there, then leaned in and whispered, “Do you like your neighbor?”
Gu An, momentarily pausing his axe, looked incredulously at the person beside him.
“What are you saying, Senior Brother?”
“I’ve heard it all.
Someone from the northern district wanted to borrow Spirit Stones, you stopped them, now they still want to lay a hand on you,” Hua Jiyang explained.
“It was just a coincidence,” Gu An replied.
“Are you sure?” Hua Jiyang looked at Gu An.
“You better tell the truth.”
“The truth,” Gu An said.
“If they try to borrow Spirit Stones again, would you help?” inquired Hua Jiyang.
Gu An shook his head.
“That’s good.
I’ve already settled it for you this time, but I couldn’t handle that woman.
Don’t get involved anymore,” Hua Jiyang warned.
Hearing this, Gu An was a bit surprised, “You mean, they won’t bother me?”
“Do I treat you well?
When you’re stronger, remember to repay me,” Hua Jiyang joked.
Gu An looked at him, somewhat puzzled.
Seeing this, Hua Jiyang laughed, “It’s not that we are very close, it just happened to be an easy fix, a convenient act, just showing off a little on my part.”
Gu An earnestly said, “Thank you, Senior Brother.”
This outcome was for the best, although he wasn’t worried about those people coming after him.
But becoming enemies meant encountering obstacles in finding Ren Shan, and he would have to be the shield without wanting to be.
It would make completing tasks even harder.
Now, those people were still fully targeting Ren Shan.
So, it was the best outcome.
It seems calling him ‘Senior Brother’ worked effectively; had I called him “Junior Brother Hua” initially, today’s situation would be different.
“Are you feeling old and reflective?
Tonight, I’ll take you to town for a bit of fun,” Hua Jiyang winked suggestively.
Gu An declined.
Anything related to women would only hinder his cultivation.
Hua Jiyang was taken aback, “You’re not pursuing anyone and yet you’re not showing much strength.”
Gu An was momentarily speechless.
In the evening, after finishing logging, Gu An headed home.
With his cultivation growing stronger, he needed more sophisticated methods of concealment.
“In a few days, I should look for a related secret book.”
Check the Book Collection Pavilion or the market.
The Sect’s Cultivation Techniques were almost all-encompassing, but required Merits.
In the days that followed, the little girl would visit in the early morning.
And Ren Shan would come to pick up the little girl dressed in different clothes and hairstyles every time.
It was impossible not to be affected, especially as she always wielded the Charming Technique.
Speaking increasingly invitingly each time, it was intended to gradually corrupt him.
If it weren’t for his nightly practice of calming his mind to dispel distractions, he really might not have resisted.
No one troubled him during this period, only Ren Shan and her group.
Gu An was rather pleased with this development.
Half a month later.
The Ring of Destiny stirred once again.
[Yesterday morning, Ren Shan received news that people from the northern district would come again the next day, and they must achieve some results.
To survive this crisis, she decided that at the moment of defeat, she would seek your help in her most tender form, prompting you to act out of pity or lust, seeds of the Charming Technique sown over many days ready to sprout, ultimately you would angrily fight for the beauty, becoming her shield or sword.
Your role ends there, at least it was somewhat useful.]
