After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 35 - You Should Bring People into the House

35: Chapter 35 You Should Bring People into the House

35 -35 You Should Bring People into the House

Mid-February.

The air carried a hint of chill.

Gu An lay on his bed, reflecting on the words in his mind, feeling quite emotional.

He had been cold towards Ren Shan, but truly had no ill intentions.

Sadly, she was also using him.

Good or bad didn’t really matter.

What mattered was his weakness, his lack of malice.

People like that were everywhere, all being used by others.

Gu An thought about it and felt he indeed looked easy to manipulate.

At his age, he indeed found it hard to resist beauty.

Easily falling into other’s traps.

With these thoughts, Gu An slowly drifted to sleep.

Yesterday, he had successfully advanced his Qi Sea Sky Gang to the Eighth Stage.

Only one stage left.

Even at a slow pace, it would take only a month.

In a month’s time, there should be no rivals in the Qi Refining Seventh Layer.

Of course, by then, he might be at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer.

Early in the morning, Gu An sat by the pond for breakfast, this time without seeing anyone approaching.

This was the first time in a long while.

It piqued his curiosity.

Gu An watched as the fish, hidden for a long time, stealthily swam out from the pond.

“When no one’s watching, they come out—could this be playing hard to get?”

Gu An shook his head and continued with his own matters.

He glanced at his status panel.

[Name: Gu An]

[Cultivation: Qi Refining Seventh Layer]

[Status: Poisoned]

[Techniques: 3/50]

[Hard Cultivation: 80/100]

[Ring of Destiny]

He was close to advancing.

Unfortunately, today was not suitable for making a move.

Now at the Eighth Stage of Qi Sea Sky Gang, it lacked power.

He could only rely on Perfect Mountain Opening Fist and Perfect Hundred Steps Chasing Wind.

There was a decent advantage in the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, much less so after the Seventh Layer.

So there was no need, better not to rush into action today.

With insufficient power to dominate the enemy, that woman would think only of using him, not trading.

The whole day was just usual logging.

By evening, he successfully returned to the yard.

He didn’t go inside but sat by the pond eating dry food, waiting for the neighbor’s performance.

Indeed, it wasn’t long before a rumble sounded from afar.

The noise was considerable, but it didn’t carry far.

The commotion lasted about fifteen minutes before it quickly weakened.

Shortly after, the energy fluctuations began to shift, heading this way.

“Here they come.”

Gu An watched it all while eating.

He occasionally threw some scraps into the pond, giving the fish a small feast.

Soon the energy fluctuations were nearing.

Gu An stood up, putting away his food.

If he remained seated, the posture might seem too proud, easily inviting trouble.

When alone, any behavior could do, but with others around, an appropriate posture was necessary.

Indeed, at that moment a woman, with a child in tow, quickly ran towards him.

Her neat clothes were now disheveled, with fresh blood covering her body, and she held a girl in her arms already crying heavily.

The blood mixed with tears was truly moving.

In just a few breaths, Ren Shan ran up to Gu An.

Her face was pale, showing a woman’s frailty and helplessness, looking at the person before her as if he was the light of her life.

She opened her mouth, eventually her eyes moistened, and in a gentle voice mixed with a plea, she said: “Brother Gu.”

Those words, Brother Gu, made Gu An feel like he was falling into a memory.

Recalling the good and bad of the person before him, he eventually found sympathy for her plight.

It seems that he wanted to forgive all aspects of her and first rescue her.

Especially since those chasing her have already been weakened, even at Qi Refining Sixth Level he could handle them.

He could completely help her out of anger.

Soon Gu An returned to normal, feeling a sense of reflection in his heart.

He almost fell for it.

This was even with prior preparation; had he not been prepared, he might have rashly burst forth impulsively.

Seeing Ren Shan’s hopeful yet pitiful appearance, Gu An took a step back:

“Immortal, comport yourself.”

Ren Shan’s pupils shrank at this scene, somewhat unexpected.

It shouldn’t be like this.

Everything was supposed to be as she predicted.

“Senior brother, you…” Ren Shan knelt down in front of Gu An with a ‘plop’: “I know senior brother misunderstands Ren Shan, it’s understandable that you don’t lend a hand.

Could you possibly save Guoguo, though?

She is still a child, innocent, I hope senior brother shows mercy.”

By this time, three people had already caught up.

They became cautious upon seeing Gu An.

This was an unharmed Qi Refining Sixth Level; if it really came to a fight, they might not be his match.

This time there was a misstep, they didn’t expect this woman to have a powerful Magic Treasure.

Which resulted in heavy injuries to those senior brothers.

Gu An looked at both parties, then stepped back again: “Immortal, comport yourself.

We are strangers, why must you ensnare me?”

Huh?

Ren Shan was somewhat bewildered, then immediately said:

“Senior brother, whatever you say, I will agree.

You can have it your way, as long as Guoguo is safe.”

Gu An gently shook his head: “Immortal jests.

We are but strangers who’ve met by chance; there is no entanglement.

It is absurd to want anything.

I am but an old man nearing fifty, not able to withstand such turmoil.

I am unable to assist in this matter, forgive me.”

Saying this, Gu An saluted the three people nearby: “Whatever the three seniors wish to do, please don’t mind me.”

As his words fell, Gu An retreated to the entrance of the courtyard.

Completely disregarding any intentions to get involved.

Seeing this, the three pursuers also relaxed, not hesitating to take action on the spot.

Boom!

Their attacks landed on Ren Shan, but her eyes turned cold and a strong power burst forth.

It seemed like she used some Secret Technique.

Boom!

The four figures moved rapidly, with magic following suit.

Occasionally, attacks came towards Gu An’s side, but all were blocked.

Within a few breaths of time, Ren Shan gained the upper hand, flames condensing in her hand like sharp swords flying out.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The three were directly knocked away, spitting out blood.

They were astonished.

Then they quickly got up and left.

Ren Shan watched them leave, then collapsed to the ground, fainting.

Afterward, the little girl at the side kept sobbing.

She looked at Gu An hoping for rescue.

But Gu An put his finger to his lips, making a hushing gesture.

He had always found it strange why Ren Shan would bring people over.

A Qi Refining Sixth Level like himself wouldn’t normally be capable of being a threat.

Apparently, she was concealing her cultivation.

Under her control, those who rushed over must be people he could handle.

Drawing him into trouble, then block for some time while making other plans.

Judging by it, the person before him must be at Qi Refining Seventh Layer or Eighth Layer.

So strong.

Her faint was also feigned.

“Immortal, when you’ve had enough rest, go back,” Gu An spoke indifferently.

A little while later,

Ren Shan struggled to open her eyes, looking apologetically at Gu An: “Brother, sorry for the trouble, we will leave now.”

Afterward, Ren Shan left limping supported by her daughter.

Gu An watched them, his eyes devoid of any sympathy.

“You should have taken her in, who knows what might happen tonight?” Chu Meng emerged from the side.

When did she arrive?

Gu An was somewhat surprised.
