Chapter 469: [Chapter 319: Gu An: Is the Commandery Princess Actually a Monstrous Ugly Freak?_2]

Of course, it no longer had the previous effects; it could only mimic form but not essence.

Gu An nodded his head, and with the cooperation of the Blood Spirit, it could be said that no one would be able to discern his true body.

In the aftermath, pretenting to be Zuo Youyan should no longer be seen through.

He picked up the mask, feeling quite emotional.

Previously, Zuo Youyan had also integrated into it; has it now completely vanished?

A simple check confirmed that there were indeed no extras left.

"Now it is time to tell you about the second phase of the mission," Chu Meng said.

Upon hearing this, Gu An focused and said seriously, "Senior, please go on."

"The second phase is to strive to head to the Jiuxiao Pavilion, and then to eliminate certain individuals, assuming another identity," Chu Meng began.

Gu An was curious, "Who exactly?"

"Zuo Youyan," Chu Meng replied.

Gu An was stunned, Zuo Youyan?

Why him?

That’s what he asked.

"Because Zuo Youyan needs to be used to lure out some people, these individuals have fled to the Jiuxiao Pavilion," Chu Meng explained. "It’s easiest to draw them out with Zuo Youyan.

This matter is only part of the process; the main goal is to find a person in the Jiuxiao Pavilion and take an item.

That’s the second phase. Killing people, isn’t that quite in line with your character?" Chu Meng asked with a smile.

Gu An: "...."

He truly wasn’t someone who took pleasure in killing.

However, he did have quite some experience in impersonating Zuo Youyan.

"Then who should be found? Who is to be killed? What item should be taken?" Gu An asked.

"No rush, that’s for the third phase, I’ll accompany you this time too," Chu Meng replied.

Gu An was astonished and somewhat incredulous, "Senior, you’re coming along?"

"Is there a reason I can’t?" Chu Meng said somewhat irritatedly, "I’ve been in the sect for many years and finally got a mission; am I not allowed to go out and about?

I’m only twenty-seven, not the same age as you, who wouldn’t care much about staying in."

Hearing this, Gu An was slightly puzzled, "Senior, didn’t you say you were only twenty-four?"

As this statement fell, Chu Meng blinked and tried asking, "Twenty-four? Should I be happy or angry?

It was three years ago that I said I was twenty-four."

Upon hearing this, Gu An finally realized, "It’s been three years?"

He had never bothered to count the time properly; after joining the sect, he had been quite busy.

As days passed by, there was always a lot to take care of.

Concerning Chu Meng, he was still astounded by the realization that she had been twenty-four with a Primordial Spirit.

Only, he had not expected that she might not be of the Primordial Spirit, nor from the Returning to Void realm, possibly of a much higher realm.

Aside from the time at the Vajra Spirit Wood where he felt that she was at the Foundation Establishment stage, she was always enigmatic and inscrutable at other times.

Why had someone like her been captured by him?

And why had he managed to keep her imprisoned there?

He always felt there was something unusual about it, yet he could never quite discern the specifics.

"Anyway, think it through, this time you have to go to the Jiuxiao Pavilion," Chu Meng stood up and said, "I don’t know why, but I just find you particularly irksome today; once we get out, I’ll make your life difficult. You can forget about eating peanuts."

Saying so, she picked up the plate of peanuts, "You’re just fit to eat pastries; such good things are mine alone.

Also, manage your First Institute well and look forward to losing face once you’re dropped."

Having said that, Chu Meng left with decisive strides.

Gu An watched her retreating figure and continued eating pastries, feeling indifferent.

Being dropped would be a good thing; he was worried about being eliminated now.

That would be a real loss.

Besides, Chu Meng going out was a good thing; at least she was stronger than him.

If things were to go astray, he could ask for her help.

But how to proceed was a trouble.

He would see if his name would appear on the list tomorrow.

If not, he would have to request for it to be added.

It shouldn’t be too difficult of a task.

The fact that Gu An was a candidate for an arranged marriage had quickly spread to the First Institute.

For a time, Chen Changfeng was quite thrilled, "Then shouldn’t we make an effort to get the institute head elected?"

Yue Han was dumbfounded, "What are you all talking about? The institute head is a candidate for marriage into the Royal Family? The Royal Family didn’t refuse?"

"Why should they refuse?" Chen Changfeng asked.

"He is from the Zhuanlun lineage, the mortal enemy of the Royal Family; how could they possibly agree to his candidacy?" Yue Han said. "Not everyone is a useless case like myself; surely they won’t just submit."

At this moment, Shu Ci also sighed, "The team leader said the same; he said that once this matter is exposed, it is as good as our elimination."

"Actually, that’s not necessarily the case," Zhao Qingshan said with a smile, "The Royal Family may not really refuse."

"Why so?" asked a man who had been hiding in the corner all along.

Zhao Qingshan smiled and said, "What if the person here has been discarded? Or perhaps sent out to attract attention? With an undercover from the Zhuanlun lineage, wouldn’t that attract more attention?"

Chen Changfeng was curious, "So if he is elected, wouldn’t that cause a huge commotion? Wouldn’t many people raise this issue?

I saw a note from the Royal Family last time, mentioning a lost Princess; isn’t that important?

If the institute head is elected, wouldn’t this news overshadow the princess lost among the common folk?"

Yue Han was taken aback and said, "Is it really that dark? You’re making me a bit scared to go to the Imperial City."

"Are you a princess? Going back to the Imperial City?" Chen Changfeng mocked.

"I am the Royal Princess, my status is only a hair’s breadth away from the Emperor’s. The Imperial Princesses have to salute me when they see me," Yue Han stated seriously.

Qingyao: "..."

Chen Changfeng didn’t believe it.

Neither did the others.

Chen Changfeng decided it’d be better to discuss how to ensure the Institute’s Dean comes out on top.

Zhao Qingshan said, "Actually, there’s no need for you to worry. If the spy’s identity hasn’t been vetoed by the Royal Family, the Zhuanlun lineage is probably going to have to help, though it might mean enslaving the Dean, which is a danger.

People who are against the Royal Family are likely to get involved as well."

Shu Ci quietly took note, planning to inform the team leader later.

One has to avoid danger wherever possible.

...

The list was published and the news spread quickly.

Gu An found out that the Zhuanlun lineage of the Outer Sect wanted to meet with him again.

Are these people out of their minds?

They dare to contact me at a time like this.

Aren’t they afraid of being discovered by the Law Enforcement Hall?

He refused.

Didn’t want to meet.

Without a message from the Law Enforcement Hall, he didn’t want to get into conflict with them.

This meeting could very well mean they were planning something.

After all, they were acting without any concern for the consequences.

However, to his dismay, that very night the other party actually approached his residence.

With great force, they delivered a letter to the residence.

Gu An opened it and saw just a few simple words: "Meet me tomorrow! Otherwise, your First Institute will be destroyed."

Looking at these words, Gu An could feel the other party’s twisted demeanor.

He sighed heavily, realizing he was indeed in trouble.

They were too unrestrained.

Forget it, just endure it and it would pass.

At night.

Peng Ming left the Outer Peak.

His eyes were cruel.

"A mere Golden Core dares to be so arrogant, who gave him the courage?"

"If he wasn’t useful to me, with the karma on him, I wouldn’t let him live past a second day."

"It seems he doesn’t understand the difference in cultivation, tomorrow I will let him understand whose words carry weight."

As for whether the other party would inform the Cangmu Sect.

He didn’t care.

With Cangmu Sect’s strength, catching him would not be easy.

And as long as they didn’t catch him.

He would show Gu An how dreadful it is to offend him.

Thinking this, he quickly headed towards the Outer Sect.

But suddenly, he heard the whistling of the wind.

Turning his head, there was nothing there.

Then, with a puff,

A long knife pierced through his body from behind.

It all happened so swiftly he couldn’t react.

As he was about to retaliate, a hand suddenly grabbed his head, and then a knife was brandished at his throat.

"Fellow daoist, I....."

"Shh! Endure it and it will be over."

Pfft!

The long knife sliced through.

A single stroke beheaded him.

In an instant, the body fell.

With his dying eyes, he saw the face of the one he planned to teach a lesson.

Regret filled his entire being.

He was not at the Golden Core realm.

"Next time it’s better to knock when delivering letters."

Gu An took the Storage Treasure and long knife from the other party, leaving the Red Armor Soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

Finally, he turned and left.

The Blood Spirit quickly fell away, being sealed once more.

With the spy identity already discovered, he wondered where the other party got the confidence to run around.
