#186 - Just a small person
Listening to the content, Gu An was quite surprised.
“Do geniuses also have to chop wood?” Gu An had always thought that only those at the foot of the mountain needed to chop wood seriously.
Those above shouldn't have such tasks.
After all, geniuses focus on cultivation.

Their strength is powerful, comparable to countless woodcutters.
“Theoretically, it's not necessary.” Duanmu Qingping said seriously, “But this is not each peak, but a place connected to the outside world.
In other words, this place is the task itself.
And task positions have their respective responsibilities.
Part of the responsibility is the additional wood cutting.
So whether it's an ordinary inner disciple or a direct disciple, the tasks that should be done must be done.
Wood cutting is naturally among them.”
Gu An nodded.
In this way, he also didn't have too many problems.
He was good at helping with wood cutting and could also earn spirit stones.
A double win.
He was just not sure if those people were easy to communicate with.
If they were like the people in Team Two, it would be troublesome.
It would be difficult to deal with these people.
Even…
He might not be a match.
Afterward, Gu An followed his senior sister to the side courtyard.
In just a moment, they arrived at a large courtyard similar to the backyard.
When Gu An came in, there were only two people inside.
Two people drinking tea and playing chess.
One male and one female, both appearing to be in their early twenties.
The man was handsome and unrestrained, with three-dimensional features and a hint of a smile in his eyes.
The woman was as beautiful as a goddess, supporting her cheek with her hand, her pretty face drooping, as if deeply distressed by her helplessness.
The chess game on the table was intricate, complex, and disordered.
She should be about to lose.
Duanmu Qingping didn't dare to disturb them when she arrived.
Gu An naturally stood quietly as well.
At this time, the fairy saw Duanmu Qingping and immediately disrupted the chessboard, saying, “Junior Sister Duanmu, you've arrived.”
Only then did Duanmu Qingping respectfully bow her head and say, “Greetings, Senior Brother and Senior Sister. This is our courtyard's junior brother,
He is mainly responsible for wood cutting.”
Gu An respectfully saluted: “Greetings, Senior Brother and Senior Sister.”
Ye Huaxiao looked at Gu An and smiled, “Is this the rumored murderer junior brother from Outside Peak?”
“It's all rumors.” Gu An lowered his head and explained.
Ye Huaxiao didn't care and said, “I heard you like wood cutting? What kind of wood are you cutting now?”
“It's just to temper my body, mostly Blood God Wood.” Gu An replied.
“Blood God Wood, that's enough. You have to complete tasks on both sides, will you have enough time?” Ye Huaxiao asked.
“If the amount is less than the backyard, then I will have enough time.” Gu An thought for a moment and continued, “But that's on the premise of no tasks. If there are, I probably won't have enough time.”
“We pay spirit stones in advance. If you don't have enough time, then you have to return the spirit stones?” Ye Huaxiao asked with a smile.
“If Senior Sister is worried, you can give spirit stones in a fixed amount.” Gu An explained further:
“That is, Senior Sister pays for how much task energy is given.”
Ye Huaxiao didn't care about these things, but curiously asked, “I heard that the people in Team Two in the backyard didn't give you spirit stones and were injured by you. If we don't give you spirit stones, will you attack us?”
Gu An lowered his eyebrows and said, “I wouldn't dare.”
“Is it because your strength is not enough?” Ye Huaxiao said, taking out spirit stones:
“One hundred and fifty spirit stones a month. Here are nine hundred spirit stones. You can chop wood properly for half a year.
As long as you follow what you said, you can complete it without tasks.
If you can't complete it because of tasks, the spirit stones are still yours.
Of course, you can't raise the price in the middle. If you want to raise it, you have to wait until after half a year.
Do you have any questions?”
Gu An was silent.
Duanmu Qingping was a little anxious. Why hadn't he agreed yet?
“Senior Sister, if I really have something that I have to leave for, do I just have to return the spirit stones for that month?” Gu An asked.
Some small things still had to be clarified.
Otherwise, the spirit stones were a small matter, offending these people was a big deal.
The moment he came in, he discovered that not only were their cultivation levels higher than his, but also the aura on each of them was different from ordinary people.
Much purer and more powerful.
“From the various events of the sect and the backyard, it can be seen that you are a person who doesn't like to be restrained.
We won't restrain you either. If you can't complete wood cutting because of personal matters, you have to return the corresponding spirit stones for that month.
In addition, we can distinguish whether it's a personal matter or not. If you falsely claim that you can't complete it, then we are not pushovers either.” Ye Huaxiao looked at Gu An and said seriously, “Junior Brother, do you understand?”
“I understand.” Gu An nodded.
Saying that, Ye Huaxiao gave out a token and said, “This is the token to enter our wood cutting yard. So, can we start next month?”
Now it's the end of September, next month starts from October.
Gu An took the spirit stones and nodded in agreement: “Okay.”
“By the way, there's something I have to tell Junior Brother.” The man who hadn't spoken all along suddenly said, “Originally, you were going to confront the people of Qingcheng Sect, but now you don't have to.
People from Outside Peak have also encountered misfortune, and the manager has used this to suppress the troublemakers.
Now, everyone is saying that someone from the Demonic Path has set their sights on our Outside Peak.
In addition, there may really be people from the Demonic Path sneaking in. Junior Brother, you have to be careful in the future.”
Gu An nodded to show that he understood.
After getting acquainted with the wood cutting yard, Gu An and the others left.
Ye Huaxiao drank tea and smiled, “What do you think of this Gu An? Did he kill those people?”
“He has killed people twice in the sect.” Yuwen Fenglin poured himself tea and said:
“The first time, the interests of the night wood cutting yard were reshuffled, and the rules were changed.
The second time, the major positions were reshuffled, and the rules and interests all changed.
And in both killings, this person survived because of interests.
It seems that someone is holding this blunt knife that knows how to find opportunities.”
“Then whose knife is he?” Ye Huaxiao asked curiously.
Yuwen Fenglin shook his head: “I don't know, and you know that holding a knife also has realms. There is a realm called having no knife in hand.
Perhaps someone just paid attention to him and prepared a slaughterhouse for him based on his habits, and then the knife will move.
There is no need for the person behind to wield it, everything will take its course. Also, I heard that someone has already started to win him over, but he was rejected.”
“If that's the case, then he's too pitiful. This kind of knife will lose its value in the blink of an eye.” Ye Huaxiao shook her head and said:
“And looking at his appearance, he not only chopped Blood God Wood, but also Heart-Devouring Wood.
Although I don't know why, there must be some reason,
Is it because the foundation is damaged?”
“Wood cutting is for tempering the body.” Yuwen Fenglin smiled and said, “Some wood others can't chop even if they want to,
Sometimes the other party may really just be using wood cutting to temper himself.
Of course, it is also possible to use this to reduce contact with the outside world.
He easily encounters problems in everything he does.
Staying here with us to chop wood is safer for him.”
“Safe?” Ye Huaxiao smiled and said:
“I remember that there are also senior brothers here whose interests have been severely damaged.”
Yuwen Fenglin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “Then he can only pray for his own good luck.”
Just a Gu An, they didn't take him seriously.
There was no need to take him seriously either.
Just a small character.
No matter how much the people at the bottom make trouble, they are still small characters.
There are very few people who can make a name for themselves.
