Chapter 102: Chapter 102: You Came In, So of Course You Picked Up My Spirit Stones

Six people in the room were looking at Gu An.

Among them were those at the late-stage, mid-stage, and early-stage of Foundation Establishment.

However, the strongest among them, who was supposed to be at the late-stage of Foundation Establishment, had a strength more akin to that of the mid-stage.

In the Exile Land, these people had their Spiritual Energy burned and even now had to endure the agony of burning.

Exile was no joking matter.

Here, people would be tormented out of shape.

Making any reckless move could ignite one’s Spiritual Energy.

Therefore, unless necessary, many would choose not to act personally.

Naturally, it was best to let subordinates take action.

Feng He was such a subordinate.

Regrettably, after his entry, he dared not think about making a move again.

His cultivation was at mid-stage Foundation Establishment, with little recovery in strength.

"Junior Brother is joking." Feng He immediately explained:

"I’m just worried..."

Before he could finish his words, Gu An interrupted: "Call me Senior Brother."

Uh...

Feng He was somewhat displeased for a moment, but was unclear about the other party’s particulars.

But why should he, at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, call someone at early-stage Foundation Establishment ’Senior Brother’?

But in case the other party’s full strength was at hand, fighting wouldn’t do him any good either.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and said: "Senior Brother, I was just worried about Senior Brother’s condition, so I came in to check."

"Is that so." Gu An took out the Storage Treasure and said, "Is this what you came for?"

Hearing this, Feng He hurriedly shook his head: "No, it’s for the Senior Brother’s health."

"But there is indeed a problem with this Storage Treasure." Gu An looked at the puzzled faces and continued: "There used to be quite a few Spirit Stones inside, but now mysteriously dozens are missing.

Just as you all happen to be in the room, I wonder..."

Gu An raised his eyebrows, gazing coldly at the six people: "I wonder if any of you have picked up Spirit Stones?"

Upon this question, the six people in the room were stunned.

Gongsun Hai was most speechless.

Demanding Spirit Stones at this time?

Directly offending people from three parties was hardly a wise move.

Senior Sister Qing smiled and said:

"Junior Brother must be joking, we have just come in; if Junior Brother’s Spirit Stones are gone, it must have been stolen, and I will definitely help Junior Brother find out."

The intention of the other party was very clear.

Giving everyone a way out, good for everyone.

But...

The door was forcibly opened.

Everyone’s strength was similar, and if this were to be endured now,

What about next time?

Would concern be brushed aside once again?

I’ve cultivated to this point just so I could protect myself and live a bit more peacefully.

That’s the meaning of growing stronger.

So, some things shouldn’t be compromised.

Be it assertiveness or dignity.

Bowing your head now will lead to no peace later.

Can things still be good if anyone can open the door?

Wouldn’t it become a place where anyone could intrude without any restraint?

Gu An sighed inwardly; this was not a place of kindness.

He too had opponents that were not within his capability to confront.

But among those present, even as early-stage Foundation Establishment, he could stand and talk.

Not to mention that his actual cultivation was at the mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

So, under the gaze of others, Gu An slowly stood up without showing any emotion and said:

"If I break into your rooms uninvited, and your Storage Treasures are lost, is it unrelated to me?"

Upon hearing this, Senior Sister Qing’s expression turned somewhat sour.

He didn’t give her any face.

"Senior Brother, I call you Senior Brother as a form of respect, but you have been here for quite some time.

Even if your Spiritual Energy hasn’t burned yet, you shouldn’t be able to hold on much longer." Feng He looked at Gu An and spoke in a cold voice:

"There’s no need to burn bridges in the Exile Land, otherwise, you might have to call me Senio—"

Bang!

Before he could finish speaking, Gu An had already kicked out.

The powerful impact struck the person in front of him.

Feng He was sent flying backward, and the people behind him scattered immediately.

And Feng He slammed against the door as he took advantage of the momentum.

With a "bang," the entire door explosively shattered.

Gu An stepped out, approached the other party, and with a heavy punch to the cheek, another bang rang out as the opponent was sent flying backward, crashing to the ground.

As soon as the other party attempted to retaliate, a heavy foot came crashing down.

Bang!

Dust and sand were thrown up from the earth.

Blood spilled.

The three people watching from outside felt their scalps tingle.

It had been a day already; why did the opponent still have this kind of strength?

Gu An now stood at the doorway, turning his head to the five people inside the door, he said:

"Returning lost property to its rightful owner is the way it should be."

Gongsun Hai and the others: "...."

When was the last time they had seen such a ferocious person?

Right, that unique and solitary senior brother.

But that person had long since surpassed Foundation Establishment.

In the end, he took out five Spirit Stones as per custom.

Gu An was lucky to reclaim thirty Spirit Stones.

It’s just that the door was broken, and in the end, he spent another five Spirit Stones to have Gongsun Hai fix the door.

After the others left and only Gongsun Hai remained, Gu An quietly coughed twice.

The sudden exertion had brought a fire to his lungs, causing him to cough reflexively.

This was an inevitable matter.

"Why are you unharmed?" Gongsun Hai asked while repairing the door.

Gu An exhaled and asked, "How could you tell I’m unharmed?"

"You’re not unharmed?" Gongsun Hai somewhat disbelieved: "If you were unwell, you wouldn’t cough in front of me on purpose. Who would intentionally display their weakness?"

Gu An responded with a smile, then sitting down, he asked:

"What do you think they will do?"

Gu An was new here and unfamiliar with this place.

Of course, he wouldn’t start a fight if it wasn’t necessary.

He would bow his head when needed.

The situation was stronger than the person.

"Although their pride has been wounded, they won’t trouble you further. After all, pride is cheap here. Those who care about pride are almost always newcomers, and they are the ones who die the quickest. But rest assured, they will definitely keep their eyes on you," Gongsun Hai pondered and then continued:

"Your situation is a bit special right now, so they don’t want to completely fall out with you.

Of course, as long as you burn Spiritual Energy, the backlash you suffer will be greater. The suffering they endured today will be returned to you doubly some other day."

Gu An nodded in agreement.

After all, he had made a move, and although the other party might be generous, they still held a grudge at heart.

If he wasn’t showing weakness now, once he did, these people would skin him alive.

It wasn’t a deep hatred, but it was definitely ingrained in their memories.

Especially since they were all at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment or the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, and he appeared to be at Early-stage Foundation Establishment.

After this affair, Gu An stayed in his room since he had no axe and was not in a hurry for logging.

He needed to adjust to the scorching heat brought by the Spiritual Energy.

Occasionally, he would contemplate the Qi Breathing Chapter and the Seven Emotions and Six Desires.

Seven days passed.

Gu An felt he could last at most two months.

After two months, if there were no other solutions, his situation would be precarious.

"I wonder if these people, after waiting for seven days, might have other thoughts," Gu An sighed.

Knock knock!

Suddenly, the door was knocked on.

This was the first time in seven days.

"Junior Brother, it’s me," Gongsun Hai spoke up.

Gu An breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Come in."

This place wasn’t safe, and although he appeared calm, he was constantly enduring inner torment.

He wasn’t a crafty fox nor a mastermind.

Here, he was just like everyone else, an ordinary person struggling to survive.

His reluctance to go out wasn’t due to pride, but rather fear.

Once weakness was exposed, the consequences were unpredictable.

So, he had no choice but to wait.

To wait for someone to come and seek an alliance with him.

As long as he found an affiliation, those watching him wouldn’t be many.

Gongsun Hai came in, also alone.

After entering, he asked a question: "Senior Sister Huang asked me to inquire, what Spell do you want to learn?"
