After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In -
Chapter 88: Mission Accomplished?
Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Mission Accomplished?
Gu An’s words made the other person’s heart skip a beat. Ignoring the wounds on his head, he kowtowed heavily on the ground and pleaded:
"Senior Brother, I beg you, let me address you as Senior Brother.
It’s my fault for not recognizing a great man, for my dog eyes looking down on people.
Please, Senior Brother, show me mercy."
Dragging the person by the hair, Gu An walked inside.
Soon, they arrived in front of the Red Armor Soldiers.
"See if I’ve completed the task?" Gu An asked as he tossed the person aside.
Senior Brother Luo was a bit surprised to see the nine Red Armor Soldiers.
What are these things?
And each one’s cultivation is very high.
Qi Refining Seventh Layer?
He quickly noticed the twenty young Demon Beast cubs, all with collars around their necks.
These collars came from here and were intended for those four people.
Five for each person.
Twenty in total.
But how come they were in the hands of Gu An?
Thinking of this, Senior Brother Luo felt a shiver run through his body.
He had a guess in his heart.
But this guess was terrifying.
"Gu, Senior Brother Gu has completed the task, I will give you the Token right away," he said as he took out the Token from the Storage Treasure.
It was a wooden plaque.
Taking the wooden plaque, Gu An asked, "I have completed the tasks for four people, should I be given four Tokens?"
"This..." Senior Brother Luo felt that it did not conform to the rules.
"Hm?" Gu An raised an eyebrow and spoke in a light voice.
"This, of course, can be arranged." Saying this, Senior Brother Luo gave three more.
Having received the items, Gu An casually beckoned.
The nine Armored Soldiers transformed into red lights and fell into his hand.
They were red beads.
After collecting the items, Gu An stepped away.
He had to return overnight.
It was no longer safe to stay here.
As for Senior Brother Luo, he truly did not dare to kill.
This was just a Captain, and there must be a Manager above him.
Perhaps also here.
To kill would surely draw him out.
Now, it was best to leave when the going was good.
Of course, he had considered that if he took action, the Manager would appear.
And eight out of ten chances were that they were at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Perhaps he had tempered himself nine times and felt overconfident, thinking he could even challenge someone at Foundation Establishment.
It was fortunate not to encounter him now.
Once Gu An had left, the youth hurried to the upstairs.
He knocked on the Manager’s door.
"Come in," a calm voice came.
The youth entered, bowing his head nervously yet respectfully:
"Manager Hua, something, something has happened."
At this moment, the young man sitting in the seat softly spoke, "What happened?"
If Gu An were standing here, he would surely be surprised.
For the person sitting on the high seat was none other than Hua Jiyang.
The youth took a deep breath and said, "Captain Luo had a conflict with a senior from the Sect carrying out a task, and now he’s seriously injured."
"And the one who injured him?" asked Hua Jiyang.
"He’s left, he should be on his way back," the youth replied.
"Has the task been completed?" Hua Jiyang asked.
The youth recounted the whole process.
"Took four?" Hua Jiyang smiled, "Since he’s taken four, let Captain Luo deliver the remaining one before dawn.
It’s late, and he must go to hand over the task in daylight."
The youth found it odd but still nodded.
After ensuring there was nothing else, he withdrew.
Hua Jiyang sat in his seat, playing with a bead, and chuckled:
"At this age, still quite good at hiding.
I thought I’d suffer a big loss, so I specially came here to take up a position for half a year."
Below, Senior Brother Luo who had been waiting for the Manager to decide for him, clutched his legs and put on a pitiful appearance.
When the youth came down, he immediately asked, "What did the Manager say?"
"This..." The youth hesitated before saying:
"The manager said that since all four tokens have been taken, he instructed the captain to catch up and must hand over the last token to the other party before dawn."
Senior Brother Luo looked utterly bewildered.
But he quickly stood up in pain: "Prepare the cart."
...
Gu An hurried back through the night.
However, he had to wait until dawn to submit the task.
It’s uncertain if there will be any unexpected situations tonight.
The matters within the Demon Beast Garden shouldn’t be so easily exposed; it’s a matter of whether that manager will cause trouble overnight.
After returning, Gu An fed something to Big Eye Fish.
He then needed it to appear before Chu Meng’s eyes.
To let her know that it came from the Demon Beast Spiritual Garden.
He had observed that there were fish-type Demon Beasts inside.
She wouldn’t report him.
He still had that much trust in her, after all, they were both working for the same person.
Early in the morning.
Gu An checked the time and headed towards the Outer Sect mission reception area.
Chen Yue should be there.
But just as he passed by, he saw Senior Brother Luo sitting on the side, covering his foot, with bruises and wounds on his face.
People around him looked at him strangely.
While being pointed at, Senior Brother Luo kept his head down, not daring to speak.
It wasn’t until Gu An appeared that he struggled to stand up, limping over to perform the greeting: "Senior Brother Gu."
"Is there something wrong?" Gu An asked cautiously.
Not knowing why the other party had come, was it because of their manager?
"It’s like this, this is for Senior Brother." Saying so, he handed over a wooden token: "Our manager said that since we gave out four, it should be even, the last one should also be given to Senior Brother."
Gu An took the wooden token somewhat incredulously:
"You came here, just for this?"
"Yes." Senior Brother Luo said he wouldn’t stay any longer: "If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave now."
"Did your manager say anything else?" Gu An asked.
"That’s all." Senior Brother Luo immediately limped away.
Gu An was puzzled.
What exactly did this manager mean?
The thoughts of the powerful are inscrutable.
For now, it seems likely that the other party knows those four people are dead.
But he didn’t know what their intentions were.
To form a good relationship?
Was he worth courting?
With a sigh, Gu An put away his belongings and walked inside.
As soon as he entered, he saw Chen Yue about to sit down.
She also looked over at him, slightly surprised.
"Senior Sister Chen." Gu An bowed his head in salute.
"Why did you suddenly run back? Did you encounter any difficulties?" Chen Yue asked as she sat down.
It was indeed a bit troublesome for someone at Qi Refining Eighth Layer levels.
She could also offer some guidance.
The rewards weren’t for nothing.
But very soon, she was stunned.
Gu An had already spoken: "I have not encountered any difficulties, the brothers over there were quite friendly."
"Oh?" Chen Yue poured herself a cup of tea and said:
"So what brings you back here all of a sudden?
Any questions regarding the task?"
Gu An shook his head, instead he took out a wooden token and said:
"It is because the task has already been completed, I specifically came to exchange for the reward."
The moment Chen Yue saw the token, she was slightly taken aback.
But she quickly regained her composure.
She took the token, carefully examined it, and then used a Magic Treasure to verify its authenticity.
It was truly successful.
This surprised Chen Yue quite a bit: "You completed it just like that?"
"Yes, I was quite lucky, happened to encounter five.
With slight tinkering, I succeeded. I guess it was a stroke of luck." Gu An replied.
"It seems you are quite fortunate." Chen Yue nodded slightly.
Then she put away the token and said: "In that case, as per the agreement, you can choose a reward."
Gu An nodded and thanked her.
He originally wanted to take out the other four as well.
But there’s no rush.
He’ll get the reward first, so there’s no need to worry too much about accidents.
