After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In
Chapter 118: Being Your Superior Is Really Exhausting

Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Being Your Superior Is Really Exhausting

Chu Meng grabbed a handful of peanuts and stood up.

She looked at Gu An and said:

"You were sent to the Exile Land, and it took you more than half a year to complete the task and come back on your own, yet your foundation hasn’t been damaged."

Chu Meng munched on peanuts, seriously saying:

"You don’t seem like a normal person who entered the Exile Land.

Who else could do what you did, and still catch up with the Inner Sect recruitment of the following year?

Spill it, how many people did you kill there?

Just in case the Exile Land reports back, I want to be prepared.

As your superior, naturally, I should do something for my subordinate."

"I’ve always abided by the Sect’s rules; it was by completing the task that I managed to get out. Senior, please don’t make unfounded comments," Gu An said earnestly.

Chu Meng sat down and continued eating, saying: "You’re making this very difficult for me."

Gu An was puzzled.

Shouldn’t a superior be happy if he doesn’t cause trouble?

"I had planned to get you out next month and even wanted to help you repair your foundation, now I even contemplate taking care of any killing incidents for you," Chu Meng looked at Gu An seriously and said: "But if you won’t let me, how can I show my consideration for my subordinates?

How to display the beautiful quality of nurturing my subordinates?

Even more so, how can I demonstrate my sincere determination to woo you over and form an alliance with you?

As your superior, I have advised on everything, even your personal affairs like funding the Immortal.

At your age, you should be thankful to have such a young and beautiful superior like me to help you.

Why won’t you let me handle any matters, big or small?

If I don’t help you, how can I prove my worth to that scoundrel?

Without worth, how can I secure resources?

Without resources, how can I advance?

Only with strong cultivation can I seek benefits for you.

You’re not cooperating at all, lacking any sense of awareness.

It’s very difficult for me."

Gu An: "..."

You have a lot of concerns; if it’s too difficult, you don’t have to do it.

Chu Meng, chewing on food, casually said: "Lost for words?"

"Yes," Gu An nodded.

He didn’t want to argue.

After all, she might just be joking again.

"Be honest, what is your cultivation level?" Chu Meng threw some peanuts into her mouth, asking casually.

"Early-stage Foundation Establishment," Gu An replied earnestly.

Chu Meng glanced at Gu An and said:

"Early-stage it is. Your reward for the last task has been distributed. You said you wanted a Magic Treasure, and I found one for you."

Hearing this, Gu An was somewhat expectant:

"What is it?"

Then, Chu Meng pulled out a pair of wristguards.

This confused Gu An, thinking, is that it?

At the very least, a Spirit Sword would be nice.

What use is a wristguard?

"Are you wondering what use a wristguard could have?" Chu Meng asked.

"That’s not what I meant, senior," Gu An denied.

"I can see it in your eyes," Chu Meng seriously said.

Gu An was quite surprised; was it that obvious?

Seeing this, Chu Meng immediately stood up and scolded: "Indeed, that’s what you were thinking, your expression gave it away."

Gu An: "..."

Are you tricking me again?

Can’t we have a proper conversation?

Chu Meng sat down and said: "It’s really tiring being your superior. This wristguard has a common name, Qi Sea Wrist; it doesn’t have many uses, its only purpose is to store power, to store power quickly.

For instance, when you punch someone while killing, the force can only penetrate through a person.

With this, you can blast someone to pieces."

Gu An was shocked.

Is such a useful item for real?

He had always felt that his attack power was insufficient, even after learning Qi Sea Sky Gang it wasn’t enough.

Now with this item, his attack power would instantly increase.

"Pretty good, right?" Chu Meng asked.

"Yes, senior, your insight is as sharp as a torch, thank you, senior." Gu An said seriously.

"Of course, if someone dies again in the future, I’ll know it was you who killed them." Chu Meng said earnestly.

Gu An found himself unable to laugh at this moment.

"Also, this is the second Fragment." With that, Chu Meng tossed the Fragment to Gu An.

He then took out a hundred Spirit Stones and said, "These are yours as well."

Speaking of which, Chu Meng also took out a bottle of Elixir Pills, "And then there are the Elixir Pills, which can repair one’s foundation. Too bad they’re of no use to you."

Gu An accepted them all.

The rewards this time were indeed quite good.

Unfortunately, there were no Magic or Cultivation Techniques.

Of course, he didn’t really need Cultivation Techniques.

After all, what he wanted was the Innate Longevity Technique, and it had to be at the Golden Core Level.

There probably wouldn’t be any such reward.

"The rewards are just these, now let’s talk about you entering the Inner Sect." Chu Meng looked at Gu An and said:

"Have you registered for the mid-month selection?"

"I have." Gu An nodded.

"Normally, no one would take you in, as you’re not young anymore." Saying that, Chu Meng leaned in to take a closer look at Gu An:

"Are you really in your forties? Although you have a scruffy beard, why do I feel you’ve aged even more?

Your white hair seems to have increased since before."

Gu An fell silent.

He hadn’t noticed.

Logically, he should have a Perfect Foundation Establishment, so he shouldn’t appear older.

Especially since he’s cultivating the Innate Longevity Technique.

His lifespan should be much longer than that of a regular Foundation Establishment.

If a normal person with Perfect Foundation Establishment could live to two hundred and twenty or thirty, he could live to three hundred.

A lifespan of three hundred years, and he was only forty-seven now.

He was still a youth.

"Could it be that you’ve been indulging in luxury? Lack of restraint will do that to you," Chu Meng sighed.

Gu An: "..."

"Let’s talk about the serious matters." Chu Meng sat down in his own place, eating something from the table, and said:

"Your foundation hasn’t been damaged, even if you speak out, others won’t believe it much.

And they will definitely go to the Exile Land to investigate your situation.

For safety’s sake, it’s better not to expose yourself.

Don’t you think?"

"I will follow senior’s advice." Gu An nodded.

If he really had to go back to the Exile Land, it would indeed be dangerous.

People in the Exile Land right now dare not report, and he was also worried about people from the outside going in to investigate.

"Indeed, I could tell at a glance that you’ve been up to no good." Chu Meng remarked with a sigh:

"Since that’s the case, you can only try your luck."

"Do you think there’s a big chance for me to advance to the Inner Sect in the first round?" Gu An asked curiously.

"Quite a big chance, actually." Chu Meng explained: "You come from the Exile Land, and you’ve recently risen to fame in the Outer Sect.

If you now return and enter the Inner Sect right on top of the grand competition, it would have a significant impact on the Sect.

Therefore, to minimize unwanted influence, you might be directly sent in during the selection."

Hearing this, Gu An was quite surprised.

He hadn’t expected such a result.

"Which peak might I enter?" Gu An asked.

"There’s a high probability of going to Qianchen Peak." Chu Meng pondered for a moment:

"Qianchen Peak has many people but is weak in power; those who are among the top three in the Outer Sect typically end up in this place.

To say they’re top three is actually just picking from those who are left over, the unwanted ones.

And Qianchen Peak is that kind of place.

Moreover, many miscellaneous chores are also done by Qianchen Peak.

For example, logging, construction work, cafeteria, capturing spirit beasts, and other trivial matters, Qianchen Peak takes up the most."

Hearing this, Gu An breathed a sigh of relief.

That’s fine.

He could keep logging anyway.

It’s not a problem.

At this moment, Chu Meng smiled and said, "This place has a mix of good and bad; do you want to switch places? I could help you, as your superior, if you ask me, I can let you go somewhere else."

"No, thank you." Gu An declined: "Thank you for your kind intention, senior."

Chu Meng: "..."
