After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In
Chapter 129: Do I Like You?

Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Do I Like You?

Compensation on my own, Gu An, upon hearing Junior Sister Bai Qing’s words, wasn’t particularly surprised.

But he didn’t quite understand the purchasing matters on her side.

"Which area is this mountain peak affiliated with?" Gu An asked curiously.

"Qianchen Peak." Immortal Bai Qing replied.

Upon hearing this, Gu An pondered for a moment, realizing it was similar to his situation.

However, he had no purchasing rights while the other party did.

"This place is quite independent; many things are done on our own," Bai Qing explained:

"However, not many people engage in logging here, so it’s rather leisurely.

But who could have known there was a problem with the axes.

I polish them very diligently every day."

"Whom did you inform?" Gu An asked again.

"I sought the procurement department first, but they claimed their axes had no issues. If there were, they told me to find the brother from Deacon Hall who oversees this matter for assessment," Immortal Bai Qing continued:

"After that, I went to the Deacon Hall. One of the brothers inspected it and confirmed the axe was indeed damaged, though it seemed the axe’s quality was subpar.

He barely finished speaking when I mentioned where it was purchased.

Yet he said it is a grave mistake to procure faulty goods, and if I insist on resolving this matter, I must seek someone from the Spiritual Treasure General Warehouse to appraise the axe and then deal with it accordingly.

However, once handled, the person who made the purchase must be pursued first.

I said it was Senior Sister Hu who made the purchase, but they told me she had already been transferred, and that batch of axes was registered under my name.

Furthermore, they said if I feel there is a problem, it’s up to me to find Senior Sister Hu.

But after asking around, Senior Sister Hu had already left the Sect to undertake a mission.

She was nowhere to be found.

Now, the brother from the Deacon Hall thinks this isn’t so complicated and is merely a result of improper storage. He said if I quickly replace the axes, there’ll be no issue, and there would be strict investigation if discovered."

Speaking, Junior Sister Bai Qing slumped into the chair and said, "These axes were specially made, initially procured for one thousand and seven hundred Spirit Stones each.

One thousand seven hundred Spirit Stones, when I only earn seven a month, and even by taking on additional tasks, only about ten or so stones.

One thousand seven hundred Spirit Stones, it would take me seventeen years to save up."

"Do you still have any of the previously purchased axes?" Gu An inquired.

"Only one is left; the rest are to be returned to the Sect for reforging," Bai Qing said as she pointed to the corner of the room, "They are kept as samples."

"May I have a look?" Gu An wanted to give it a try.

He felt sympathy for the sister’s plight.

Especially since she wanted to report it only to find everyone passing the buck.

And the issue would be pinned directly on her.

He wasn’t sure if there was an issue with these people.

But someone among them definitely had an issue.

Those without an issue didn’t want the unnecessary trouble.

Especially the troubles brought by a Ninth Level Qi Refining disciple.

Such troubles truly offered no benefits.

With teary eyes, Junior Sister Bai Qing handed the axe to Gu An.

After a brief sense, Gu An discovered the axe actually had no issues; its quality was impressively good.

This was what a normal axe should be.

With the other axes, if he were to use them for logging, in less than ten days to a month at most, they would definitely break.

For someone else, that time would extend more than tenfold, roughly around a year.

Those behind the scenes wanting to pin the blame would have to wait till after a year.

Issues are more likely to arise after a longer tenure, making it seem justifiable to apprehend the individual involved.

Otherwise, an immediate capture would clearly indicate foul play.

Although everyone could see the foul play, it was too fake to pass off as genuine.

"Sister, may I use this for logging?" Gu An earnestly asked.

"Sure, it’s just not that sharp," Bai Qing seriously said.

"No matter," Gu An said, grasping the axe.

She didn’t say anything further.

But she returned to her seat, looking somewhat uneasy and at a loss.

Gu An didn’t know how to comfort her.

Caught in such a situation, without strength or backing, one is nearly devoured whole.

The people they found were either too afraid to take responsibility or involved in the matter.

Those who could take action or break the situation couldn’t be found.

Just like a lamb trapped in a prison cage, waiting for the right time to be slaughtered.

The enemy felt this way, and so did I.

However, the difference was, I had a powerful backer and a certain level of strength -

I still had a chance to turn the tables.

But if my backer doesn’t support me, it would be difficult for me.

Already embroiled in it, even if I want to resist, my power isn’t enough to cause much of a stir.

I should prioritize enhancing my cultivation.

It has been hindered by Qi Sea Sky Gang; I must give up Qi Sea Sky Gang if it continues.

Afterward, Gu An began logging.

The axe wasn’t as sharp as before, but it was durable.

At least, it wouldn’t cause issues for a year or two.

Using others, by the end of the year, there wouldn’t be a single axe left here.

Junior Sister Bai Qing was undoubtedly doomed.

Dusk.

Gu An took a deep breath, feeling some pain in his body.

Currently, I can chop wood for half a day.

With good luck, I could earn two points.

For an entire day, three points with some luck.

The Body Refining Technique, still needs improvement.

After returning the axe, Gu An went back to his dwelling.

Need to rest for a while.

Just as I lay down, I sensed someone breaking in.

Immediately after, the door banged open.

Gu An couldn’t even react before the room’s door was also kicked open.

"Are you still sleeping? How can you even sleep?" Chu Meng came to Gu An’s side and said earnestly.

Gu An no longer wanted to get up, just looking at Chu Meng by the bed, "Senior, what’s the matter?"

"How come you’re working at the Spiritual Treasure Vault?" Chu Meng asked seriously,

"Also, when a superior is standing and you’re lying down, do you think that’s appropriate?"

Gu An sat up helplessly, then said,

"Senior, how did you know I was serving at the Spiritual Treasure Vault?"

"Caring about subordinates, what else could it be? Could it be falling for you, secretly paying attention to you?" Chu Meng retorted.

It’s not that you couldn’t like me, but I would definitely not like you, Gu An rebutted in his heart.

Of course, he didn’t dare say it out loud.

This was his superior, after all.

With unclear strength.

Though she wouldn’t kill me, better to avoid extra trouble.

"Come on, let’s go outside; I’ve got something delicious again." Chu Meng’s eyes hinted, as if to share the spoils.

Gu An followed her out and found that she had taken out several dishes he had never seen before.

They looked like meat.

"Senior, where did you get all these from?" Gu An asked curiously.

"My maid made these this time," Chu Meng replied casually.

"Maid?" Gu An asked in confusion,

"Does the Sect have maids?"

"Of course, what’s my status and what’s yours, you definitely wouldn’t know." Chu Meng took out some peanuts and started eating.

Gu An tried some of the good-looking food, and it tasted great.

Moreover, it was imbued with Spiritual Energy, which could nourish the body.

Chu Meng’s status was not simple; no wonder that woman went to great lengths to woo her.

Even I, a chess piece that hasn’t been used in decades, got involved.

"Let’s talk business, why did you take up a post at the Spiritual Treasure Vault?" Chu Meng spoke up.

Hearing this, Gu An sighed.
