After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 556 - 361: Marriage Allows Logging?
Gu An was sleepless throughout the night; he didn’t even have the mind for logging.
According to Chu Meng, he could try to make a request.
Talk about it later.
Being a live-in son-in-law, Gu An naturally didn’t want that.
His future actually seemed pretty good.
No need to be trapped in a marriage.
Having one more person simply brings more danger.
Especially the Royal Family, they say people of the Royal Family have tricks buried all over their bodies.
Someone like him in the Royal Family would surely not survive for three to five days.
But the candidate has been confirmed, and he has no power to resist.
Even with Chu Meng’s help, it’s very difficult.
"The time set was too early; otherwise, give me a few more years, maybe I could step on the Immortal Bridge and reach the Other Shore."
Right now, he’s just someone on the first layer of the Immortal Bridge.
Appears strong, but the comparison is only among disciples.
Compared to the entire Cangmu Sect, he seems insignificant.
Gu An felt a mix of emotions.
To get married, it’s a feeling he’s never had before.
Especially being a live-in son-in-law.
Still being part of the Royal Family.
It can be said that it is an extremely novel affair.
But.....
Just a little uncomfortable.
Getting married, in his youth, he naturally yearned for it, but after pursuing cultivation, the yearning for marriage seems a bit premature.
He still has a long future ahead.
No need to marry now.
Let alone being a live-in son-in-law.
Focusing on the Dao is what he should be doing at this age.
How can he sleep well without cultivating properly during such a prime age?
After marriage, how could one log peacefully at night?
It’s simply the beginning of decline, the march of death.
Merit Hall.
Unknowingly, Gu An came here.
"Junior Brother, who are you looking for?" An Immortal came up to Gu An and asked, then paused and said: "Junior Brother, you’ve been standing here for quite a while. If there’s nothing important, you can head back first."
Gu An looked at the other person, then politely said: "I’m looking for Senior Brother Mei Jianghe."
"Ordinary people can’t meet Senior Brother Mei." The Immortal responded.
Upon hearing this, Gu An was a bit surprised.
This Senior Sister must be new.
As he was about to take out his Identity Token to prove his identity, another Immortal approached, immediately saying: "Is Junior Brother Gu here to see Senior Brother Mei? Please, come inside."
With that, the other person directly invited Gu An inside and led the way for him.
Because Gu An was recognized.
So he expressed his thanks and went in.
He faintly heard reprimanding voices behind him.
The general idea was, the top ten on the Merit List not recognizing Gu An could be forgiven once, but if the top three don’t actively know him, they can go back to where they came from.
Gu An wasn’t sure if it was deliberately spoken for him to hear or if it was truly the case.
But it doesn’t have much to do with him.
The Sect is indeed challenging for survival.
He’s been cautious, and more so now.
The clay Bodhisattva crossing the river has already found it tough to protect himself.
How could he care about others’ situations?
Behind, Mei Jianghe’s office where he handled matters.
Gu An gently knocked on the door.
Inside, Mei Jianghe was frowning as he read a book and suddenly raised his brows.
Somewhat surprised, he said: "Why did Junior Brother Gu come, have a seat."
Gu An went inside, sat opposite him, and said: "I have some matters I want to bring up."
"What is it? Junior Brother, feel free to speak." Mei Jianghe put down the book in his hand and looked seriously at Gu An.
Gu An thought for a moment and said: "It’s like this; Senior Brother should be aware of the Royal Family’s marriage alliance."
"Aware." Mei Jianghe nodded and said: "You and the other two Junior Brothers entered the candidate list; the results should be coming out soon. You might have a chance too, Junior Brother."
Upon hearing this, Gu An was shocked: "Senior Brother doesn’t know?"
"Huh?" Mei Jianghe was puzzled: "Should I know more?"
"I came to coordinate this matter." Suddenly, a voice came from outside.
The two were both surprised and turned to look.
Only to see an old woman walk in, standing in the doorway yet making one feel very distant.
But the instant Gu An glanced at her, he had a strange heart palpitating, as if with just a look, he could be torn apart.
At this moment, as the other person walked in, the tranquil mind of Gu An stirred turbulent waves.
The surrounding space was distorting.
No threatening aura, no intention of targeting him.
Rather, the other was releasing her own aura.
Powerful to the point of despair.
Gu An was shocked.
What kind of powerhouse was this?
Not only him, but Mei Jianghe also felt it, and he didn’t make any excessive moves.
Because the person in front was so strong, if targeting them, there probably wouldn’t be any subsequent actions.
"Who might you be, Senior?" Mei Jianghe immediately came in front of Gu An and respectfully saluted the old woman.
The old woman didn’t speak, just took out a token.
Upon seeing the token, Mei Jianghe lowered his head: "Greetings, Senior."
After a pause, he said: "I’ll go guard the door."
"No need." The old woman declined: "Stay and listen to what we discuss; since you know him, just convey any succeeding requests on his behalf."
Mei Jianghe felt surprised.
He indeed didn’t know what had happened.
The old woman walked in, sat down, looked at Gu An, and said: "You came to make a request?"
Gu An nodded: "Yes."
"Go ahead." The old woman said.
Gu An felt the strength of the opponent, something he couldn’t comprehend.
Such a powerhouse, why come to do such trivial matters?
Gu An felt the Sect was warning him, his strength gap with the Sect was vast.
Escape was useless.
"I do feel that this matter is indeed not quite suitable." Gu An spoke.
"This Sect cannot make the decision; it’s set by the Royal Family." The old woman flatly rejected.
Gu An was not surprised, and continued: "Furthermore, I’m the only child in my family, can’t be a live-in son-in-law."
The old woman earnestly noted this, then said: "Anything else?"
