After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In
Chapter 454 - 312: Am I Now the Spy Handler?

Chapter 454: Chapter 312: Am I Now the Spy Handler?

"Five days at most, right?"

"What if it’s five days plus seven more?"

Hearing this, Gu An was momentarily stunned and immediately replied, "You misunderstood, senior. I wanted to say that for the task you’ve brought, I will undoubtedly give my utmost effort."

"Good at flattery, but unfortunately, I don’t like to hear it," Chu Meng said while eating peanuts, "You better bribe me with food."

"How about tea?" Gu An asked.

"I don’t drink it," Chu Meng decisively refused.

*The first time she took the initiative to pour tea was during the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.*

*The second time drinking tea, who knows what it could be? She couldn’t bear it either.*

"Are you going to send me to Luo Sheng Hall?" Gu An returned to this question.

Chu Meng picked up a piece of pastry and said,

"Yes, consider it as giving you some benefits in advance. If you don’t receive this task, just wait for me to make things difficult for you.

Don’t think our relationship is purely an alliance; there’s a hierarchy between us too, and it’s normal to make things difficult.

"The task will probably be out in a couple of days, so figure it out yourself."

Gu An was slightly curious, "Can’t it be directly assigned to me?"

"Yes, it can." Chu Meng stood up, looking at Gu An, "But didn’t I say earlier that I would make things difficult for you? If I give it to you, how can I do that?"

Gu An: "...."

*Are you serious?*

"Keep an eye on your seal, because if it accidentally breaks, you’re done for. Also, pay close attention to the people from the Heavenly Maiden Lineage, as they are likely coming soon. They will look for you, and you have to find them too.

If not, in a dozen or twenty years, you’ll be reduced to ashes," Chu Meng said, walking out with the plate of peanuts, "Work hard, and next time, remember to call me Senior Sister. Have you looked at yourself in the mirror to see your age?"

After that, Chu Meng left.

*Gu An felt slightly helpless, not expecting to have to proactively accept the task.*

*He’s been rather busy lately.*

*However, spending twelve days in Luo Sheng Hall could be a good thing.*

*Promotion shouldn’t be a problem.*

*The only uncertainty was whether his magic could be promoted once more.*

Afterward, he took out the Heavenly Yuan Pill.

For his safety, Gu An specifically asked the Blood Demon Divine Monarch about the effects of the Heavenly Yuan Pill.

Hua Jiyang hadn’t explained them clearly enough.

Fortunately, the Blood Demon Divine Monarch knew a lot.

In simple terms, the Heavenly Yuan Pill was an elixir pill useful for certain specific magic.

As long as one was extremely skilled, they could use the Heavenly Yuan Pill and activate it while ingesting it.

This way, they could find a way to integrate the magic into the Primordial Spirit, fully merging the magic into their being.

It would become an innate divine ability.

But it required some time, roughly seven days.

And during these seven days, using magic was impossible; otherwise, failure could occur.

As for the changes in the magic effect after becoming a divine skill, they could vary greatly.

Gu An, after understanding this, returned to his cultivation room.

He operated Drawing a Prison, then consumed the Heavenly Yuan Pill.

After that, he let the magic blend into his Primordial Spirit.

Most of it was integrated into the Primordial Spirit.

The magic itself relied on the Primordial Spirit, and now its effect on the Primordial Spirit was normal.

Once everything had fully merged, Gu An opened his eyes.

Now, all that was left was to wait for seven days.

It would completely become a part of his body, transforming into an innate divine ability.

"It should still be a skill for trapping people, though I wonder how much it will change."

*Gu An had some expectations about this.*

*It was originally a powerful magic, now becoming an innate divine ability.*

*When used, it would be not only more effective but also harder to break.*

The next morning, Gu An went to the Outer Peak.

He needed to take on the task.

Normally, such a task would be done by someone from the Main Institute.

If it weren’t for the fact that the other party came for business, it would require someone from the Inner Sect to welcome them.

The Outer Peak.

In the Main Court, Gu An found the Junior Brother in charge of tasks.

He inquired about the task.

"This task still hasn’t been assigned, and actually, the Main Institute isn’t too keen on it," the Junior Brother in charge of tasks said.

Gu An was slightly surprised, "Why?"

"The Jiuxiao Pavilion is a quasi-first-class sect, much stronger than our sect, and their people must be proud and conceited; under normal circumstances, the Demon Sect doesn’t need to show them any favor.

But they happen to be here for business, and we are the ones selling things.

The Sect usually values harmony in business dealings, so the Outer Peak has to bow down.

If a big client is lost, the Outer Peak will be held accountable.

The higher-ups don’t care about the process; they only want results," the Junior Brother said with a helpless shrug, "So not many people are willing to accept it, because it would only cause trouble for themselves.

Doing it well might not bring many benefits, but doing it poorly will certainly lead to problems.

In previous collaborations with new sects, there were always some disputes.

Everyone knows that the Outer Peak is easy to bully.

And not everyone is like Dean Gu, having a large Merit List as a backing."

Saying this, he suddenly asked, "Does Dean Gu want to try taking on the task?"

Saying this, he shook his head, "It’s also not a good idea; if you take it on now, similar tasks will likely come to you later, and if you don’t accept them then, you might get criticized.

Those who used to be willing to suffer losses taking these tasks will start complaining, saying that you’re ignoring the overall interests of the Outer Peak, not realizing that these were originally their tasks.

I encountered this before."

"Is that so?" Gu An was slightly curious, "Would they really complain?"

The Junior Brother nodded, "Yes, they would."

Gu An said no more and said, "I’ll take it. When will the people from Jiuxiao Pavilion arrive?"

Hearing this, the other was a bit surprised, tried to persuade him for a bit, and seeing he wouldn’t budge, informed him of the time.

In January.

It was now the end of November.

There was still a month to go.

*Just enough time to improve a bit.*

*Then wait for the people from Jiuxiao Pavilion to come.*

*As for why the higher-ups wanted him to interact with them, he had no idea.*

*For now, improving was the priority.*

*The matter of going to Luo Sheng Hall could start at the beginning of December.*

*Just these few days.*

When Gu An left, the Immortal next to Senior Brother Ren curiously asked, "Senior Brother Ren, why do you call him Dean? Isn’t he a Leader?"

Senior Brother Ren shook his head, saying meaningfully, "Which sounds more important to you, Dean or Leader?"

"Naturally, Dean," the Immortal replied.

"Exactly, so it’s better to use the bigger title. If it’s an ordinary Outer Sect Deacon Elder, what would you call him? Would you call him Deacon Elder? Naturally, it’s Elder.

You should know that the Law Enforcement Elder, Teaching Elder, and Guardian Elder are all Elders.

Who wouldn’t be happy to hear ’Elder’?" Senior Brother Ren said with a smile,

"Standing in the right position is important, and so is addressing people correctly. Just use the bigger title when it’s reasonable."

The Immortal took note very seriously, thinking it was excellent advice.

Gu An returned to his residence, stopped overthinking, and just focused on reading and logging.

*Lately, rumors about him started to circulate.*

*They said he actually joined the Zhuanlun lineage.*

*If it weren’t for his high merits, he would have died in the Law Enforcement Hall long ago.*

*For now, he could only let it be.*

*Many people didn’t really believe it, but when they saw Gu An’s placement on the Merit List drop from first to third, they believed it.*

*He was indeed an undercover agent sent by the Zhuanlun lineage.*

*Gu An felt it was strange hearing this. Was it that crude?* *Couldn’t they dress it up a bit?* *With such rumors, who would dare approach him?*

Later, Gu An heard another rumor claiming that he was so old yet still able to advance because he joined the Zhuanlun lineage in his later years, using Reincarnation to advance.

*But it still cost him a lot of life force.*

*Not only that, but he was also said to be cruel and bloodthirsty, with the First Institute’s prisoners wailing everywhere, all because the Zhuanlun lineage people had unstable spirits.*

*This was the reason for the mental distortion after joining the Zhuanlun lineage.*

*Suddenly, everyone seemed to have solved a massive puzzle.*

*No wonder there was such an old Golden Core, no wonder he was violent and bloodthirsty.*

*It was all because of his unstable spirit.*

*A twisted personality.*

*After killing in the Outer Sect, he would proceed to kill in the Inner Sect, and occasionally someone elsewhere, ending with torturing someone in the First Institute.*

*Gu An was stunned when he heard all this.*

*The rumors were so exaggerated.*

*Even claims of having a twisted personality showed up.*

*Vicious, bloodthirsty, and cruel.*

*What was all of this?*

*Gu An suspected this was also the doing of the Law Enforcement Hall.*

*Then more news came out, saying that if one wanted to join the Zhuanlun lineage, they could do so through him.*

*He was actually the highest-ranking contact nearby.*

*Gu An once again fell silent.*

*This was also a rumor.*

*However, what shocked him was...*

*On the last day of November, some people from the Zhuanlun lineage really came looking to make contact with him.*

Gu An: "...."

*He began to doubt just how much was orchestrated by the Law Enforcement Hall.*

*Indeed, someone like him wasn’t suited for conspiracies and schemes.*

******

*It’s the first day, so I am asking for monthly tickets.*

If you have them, please feel free to give me some.*

Thank you!!!*
