After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In
Chapter 468 - 319: Gu An: Is the Commandery Princess Actually a Hideous Freak?

Chapter 468: Chapter 319: Gu An: Is the Commandery Princess Actually a Hideous Freak?

Upon seeing the visitor, Gu An naturally stood up and respectfully saluted: "Senior."

"Is the mission completed?" Chu Meng entered the room, sat at the table, and casually took out some pastries and peanuts: "I’ve heard some things."

Gu An also sat down and said, "The matter of the marriage alliance?"

Chu Meng grabbed some peanuts and nodded: "I’ve known about this for a long time. Originally, I wanted to tell you as a reward, but since you provoked the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, I could only delay telling you.

I didn’t expect the Sect to announce it directly, according to the information I received, it should have been several years before it was announced."

Gu An felt the same, but unexpected events do happen.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps there are some issues within the Royal Family, especially since there has been a lot of attention on the true and false princesses lately."

"Are you excited to be a candidate for the royal marriage?" Chu Meng munched on peanuts and squinted at Gu An: "That’s the Royal Princess, striving hard and standing out could make you a relative of the Royal Family, and you won’t have to worry about finding a Daoist couple at your age, the Sect has directly given you one.

Such a good thing is hard to come by for others."

Gu An picked up a pastry and said calmly, "Senior might not know, but I was almost eliminated."

Hearing this, Chu Meng looked surprised: "You got eliminated just like that?"

Gu An nodded, rather helplessly: "Yes, after all, I am a spy from the Zhuanlun lineage, and the Royal Family and the Zhuanlun lineage can be considered mortal enemies. The primary purpose of the Zhuanlun lineage’s visit to the Cangmu Sect this time was to recruit the marriage alliance candidates to join the Zhuanlun lineage.

Moreover, they wanted a covert spy, and now that I’ve been exposed, naturally, there is no chance.

Also, I have no intention of marrying into the Royal Family."

Chu Meng grabbed a handful of peanuts and said earnestly to Gu An:

"At your age, you’re still so picky. You don’t like a Royal Princess? Still thinking about that despicable woman? There are so many good women in the world, yet you insist on choosing one who doesn’t like you. Take a good look in the mirror, what will you do in a few more years? Even if you go to the attic, you’ll still be secretly despised."

Gu An: "..."

Is it that he despises himself?

This is a competition of the Great Dao; romantic entanglements will only slow down one’s cultivation speed.

He stated truthfully.

"You’re wrong, the Princess is wealthy, which can speed up your cultivation," Chu Meng commented.

Gu An was stunned for a moment, that was indeed true.

But...

Romantic entanglements do more harm than good.

He does not need too many resources to grow.

Ordinary people’s richness and beauty by their side mean nothing.

But for cultivation, who needs romantic entanglements?

Pursuing the Great Dao wholeheartedly is what truly matters.

Paused for a moment, Gu An thought of something and said, "Besides, Senior, don’t you think it’s strange? If the Princess was really good, why would a disciple like me be a candidate? At the Golden Core Late Stage, looking my age, unable to find a Daoist couple, and according to what Senior said, likely to be despised in the attic, lacking prospects.

What kind of Princess would fancy someone like me?

It’s likely as you said before, this Princess may not be of ordinary appearance, saying she is broad and bulky, with ordinary features and a twisted personality might even be a compliment.

Otherwise, why would I be a candidate for the marriage?

While munching on peanuts and listening to Gu An, Chu Meng opened her mouth in disbelief: "Are you belittling yourself? And did I mention the Princess?"

Gu An earnestly nodded: "You did."

Chu Meng hesitated and then said: "You remember such casual remarks? You might not secretly have a crush on me? But that’s not unacceptable, liking me is only natural."

Gu An: "..."

Why would you think that?

Just a normal conversation, why imply more?

"Are the other five candidates excellent?" Chu Meng suddenly asked.

"They should be quite excellent," Gu An thought for a moment: "Although their cultivation levels are not high, each of them is very young, some of them look quite extraordinary, but their cultivation talent may be lacking."

Gu An was very curious, exactly how lacking was this Princess, that there was no Direct Disciple among the marriage candidates.

Not only that, but there was no one with high cultivation talent seen.

It seemed like a trap, but for the sake of the alliance, they had to randomly pick a few disciples to fill the positions.

"Compared to them, you will know they are not excellent," Chu Meng said.

"That may be true, but they are still better than me, someone like me whom ordinary immortals wouldn’t even consider, let alone the Princess, not to mention that I am a spy from the Zhuanlun lineage.

For the Royal Family not to kill me outright, they have already shown extreme mercy." Gu An said rather helplessly: "Now that my identity as a spy is exposed, my status as a candidate is not very useful.

Things have become riskier."

"Do you think I, as your superior, am completely useless?" Chu Meng put down the peanuts and said:

"If you were caught, I could still pull you out, and even if you were sent away, I could bring you back."

Gu An knew this, but if the Sect couldn’t do it, it would be tough for Chu Meng as well.

"By the way, I’ve completed my task, what is the reward for the first phase?" Gu An thought for a moment and continued: "Is there a second phase of the mission, and what is it?"

"The reward for the first stage is this." As she spoke, Chu Meng took out a mask.

The mask looked very crude, almost like a low-quality mask.

But at the sight of it, Gu An was somewhat surprised: "All Living Beings?"

This was Zuo Youyan’s mask.

He had previously not wanted it, turning it over to Chu Meng.

Unexpectedly, it had come back.

This puzzled him.

"Yes, All Living Beings, it has been used up, no side effects left, only the function to easily change and hide one’s appearance remains." Chu Meng picked up a pastry and explained as she ate: "Since it’s no longer useful, it’s given to you. This is a useful item, wearing it while killing and looting, you’ll almost not worry about being discovered."
