#253 - I wanted to be a good person.
Outside the Hall of Law Enforcement.
Mei Jianghe successfully brought Gu An out.
Entered the same day, exited the same day.
“Junior Brother is truly a straightforward person.” Mei Jianghe exclaimed, “It’s my first time seeing someone leave the Hall of Law Enforcement at noon and then go back in the afternoon.
However, Junior Brother suffered a loss this time. If you were going to spar, you should have stopped before causing serious harm.
Some injuries that are easy to heal don't mean much.
But a broken arm is a bit serious.
Junior Brother's merit points were indeed deducted a bit.
But Junior Brother is still in the top three.
The impact isn't significant.
After all, Junior Brother doesn't only have the merit points from the bamboo forest; the real bulk of the merit points comes from that tree.
It will soon be made public.
Junior Brother will probably become famous very soon.”
Gu An understood what the other party wanted to say, which was that taking action wasn't a big deal, but crippling someone was a problem.
If it's not death or permanent disability, it's almost considered a friendly spar.
The Hall of Law Enforcement doesn't really care much.
Or rather, if someone takes action, but the injuries can heal.
Then it's not a big problem either.
For example, knife wounds can heal.
Broken bones can be set.
Then it's not a big problem; just lie down and recuperate.
Thus, Gu An roughly understood the bottom line for punishment in the Hall of Law Enforcement.
In addition, the main reason for taking action this time was to test how quickly the people from the Hall of Law Enforcement would arrive.
To put it bluntly, if he were to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator at close range, there would be no chance of escape.
This is still under the circumstance that the Hall of Law Enforcement's magical treasures are not complete.
If the magical treasures were complete.
Then there would be even less of a chance.
But Senior Brother Shi is different; he has people under him.
And he doesn't have to give orders personally.
Then, if he could dodge once, how many more times could he dodge?
Eventually, he would definitely fall into the other party's trap.
The consequences would be unimaginable.
But now, even if Zuo Youyan takes action, he can only kill, but he can't escape silently.
The possibility of being caught is too high.
If he were caught...
The Hall of Merit would be unable to speak up.
With both human and material evidence present, those who dislike him would definitely kick him when he's down.
Even if he survives in the end, his age and cultivation level would be known.
A Nascent Soul full circle at fifty years old.
Who can compare to him?
Chu Meng?
Don't think she's powerful in front of him; the news from Hua Jiyang and Lu Ruan isn't like that.
They all only think that Chu Meng is a Foundation Establishment full circle at twenty-four years old.
She doesn't dare to expose herself, so what about him?
There would definitely be no good ending.
“Thank you, Senior Brother.” Gu An said gratefully.
These days, he has relied entirely on this Senior Brother running around.
After he became a person on the list, this Senior Brother has been the most hardworking.
Although it's because he has merit points.
But the proper attitude still needs to be there.
After all, normally speaking, the Hall of Merit would be enough to exert pressure; it wouldn't be necessary to pick someone up.
Some things need to be understood as to whether they are extra favors.
If everything is taken for granted as someone else's duty, then he will become further and further away from these things.
At the end, Gu An added another sentence: “In the future, if there is an opportunity to obtain new unknown things, I will definitely send them to Senior Brother.”
Useless things that Chu Meng doesn't want, it's okay to give them to this Senior Brother.
After all, this is merit, and merit can be exchanged for other things.
“By the way, Junior Brother said last time that he wanted to exchange for cultivation techniques. Now that Junior Brother's merit points have been exchanged, he is still in the top ten on the list.
Then, do you want the exchange code now?” Mei Jianghe asked with a smile.
Gu An pondered for a moment and said: “Can it only be exchanged for Returning Void?”
“Yes, this cultivation technique doesn't belong to our sect; it belongs to the Longevity Sect.
Currently, it only includes up to Returning Void.
If Junior Brother wants it, you have to think of other ways.
Of course, you can also exchange for valuable things from the Hall of Merit and then exchange them with others for cultivation techniques.” Mei Jianghe explained.
After a pause, he continued: “But Junior Brother is only at the Golden Core stage, so there's no rush to want the Returning Void version.”
Gu An nodded: “That's true, then I'll trouble Senior Brother.”
Afterwards, Gu An obtained the Primordial Spirit and Returning Void chapters of the Acquired Longevity Sutra.
He already had the Primordial Spirit chapter.
This time, the main thing was to get the Returning Void chapter, and the Primordial Spirit was just a bonus.
Both cultivation techniques are things that can be comprehended all at once.
They can also be taken to sell.
It was getting late, and Gu An returned to Sky Suspension Peak.
As soon as he came back, he saw Noodles swimming on the water's surface.
When it saw him, Noodles excitedly ran on the water's surface.
Then it jumped in front of Gu An.
Looking like it was trying to take credit.
This gave Gu An a sense of crisis.
Sure enough, Noodles floated into the air and opened its mouth in front of him.
Water-blue, smooth fabric, a familiar smell, a brand-new style.
Gu An's pupils shrank.
He directly pressed down on Noodles' mouth.
“This mouth can't be opened.”
Gu An said seriously, looking at Noodles.
Noodles struggled a few times, but couldn't break free.
Gu An took out peanuts, infused them with Qi Sea Heavenly罡, and then threw them into Noodles' mouth.
Then he pressed down on its mouth and waited.
After a moment.
Noodles foamed at the mouth and fainted.
Thus, Gu An finally breathed a sigh of relief and casually threw Noodles into the lake.
He finally survived a calamity.
Afterwards, Gu An returned to the courtyard. The fat tiger was sitting under the tree, eating the offerings on the side.
Nangong Qiyue gave them, but Gu An hadn't seen her recently.
He didn't know when she came over.
He also didn't know if she had discovered Noodles.
Noodles was originally good at hiding, and now that it had eaten the Qi Sea Heavenly 罡 with Xuan Huang Qi, it should be even better at hiding.
Thus, it shouldn't let Nangong Qiyue discover anything.
The other party's background didn't seem ordinary no matter how you looked at it.
If she knew that he was the one stealing the undergarments…
Although he was old, he didn't want to lose his reputation in his later years.
“Big Brother, you're back.” The blood tiger immediately put down the fruit in its hand and stood up to greet him.
“Why does Senior like to transform into this appearance?” Gu An asked curiously.
It wasn't a big deal that the other party's blood spirit was a tiger.
After all, he would also use tigers or dogs.
But a chubby tiger was a bit strange.
‘A pet, this way it can show that Big Brother is taking good care of it.’” The Blood Demon Divine Sovereign looked at Gu An seriously: “In the future, Big Brother, don't call me Senior anymore, just call me Little Blood.”
He spoke very carefully, for fear of offending Gu An.
A pet?
Gu An looked at the divine tree and couldn't figure out how raising a tree was equivalent to raising a pet.
But that wasn't important either.
He came to ask questions.
Then Gu An sat down cross-legged and looked at the fat tiger and said: “I have a Senior Brother who recently wants to kill someone, but this person can't be killed at close range, only remotely.
And he doesn't want to be noticed when attacking remotely.
Then what should he do?”
“Completely silently, it shouldn't be too easy, but hiding for a while is still possible.” The Blood Demon Divine Sovereign looked at Gu An seriously:
“Since you can't get close, you can only kill the enemy remotely.
Thus, you need to use external objects.
This depends on Big Brother's Senior Brother himself.
But Little Blood has a set of formations here. As long as they are engraved well, and then using the Blood Fiend Great Teleportation, you can shield the power for a short time.
In addition, when the power collides, it should be difficult to be discovered, unless there is a magical treasure that constantly checks everything.”
Gu An was silent for a moment.
In seven days, there might really be such a thing.
Afterwards, Gu An learned the Blood Demon Divine Sovereign's formation.
It was quite useless.
That is, it needs to be arranged in advance, which takes three days.
And ultimately, it still uses the aura of blood spirits.
Once it's not controlled well, it will explode, and then it will be easily discovered.
Speaking of which, he has Xuan Huang Qi, and he doesn't know if it can make the formation more stable.
After learning it, Gu An returned to the room.
Now there are two problems.
One is where the formation should be set up.
Since he is going to take action, he must set up the formation in a place where he can see Senior Brother Shi.
This requires understanding the other party's situation.
He can't ask.
If he asks, he will definitely be questioned by the Hall of Law Enforcement.
After all, I was approached just for buying a mask before.
That's the first problem.
The second problem is, what should I use to deal with them?
Knives and swords won't work.
Spells?
They won't work either, too close range.
Use a gun?
I do have one on me.
It's Luo Yutong's from back then.
It could be used.
Buying one is definitely out, I'd be discovered.
But...
The throwing success rate doesn't seem very high.
Once it's blocked, it's all for naught.
After a long silence, Gu An still took out that long spear.
The spear body was clear, containing a thick power, also a good magical weapon.
This way the success rate would be much higher.
Cover it with Qi Sea Celestial罡, hopefully making it sharper.
With the Xuan Huang Qi's Qi Sea Celestial罡, it won't be noticed.
It condenses quickly and dissipates quickly.
Even if it is noticed, it's just a wisp of spiritual energy.
After it was completely dark, Gu An left his residence.
Qi Sea Celestial罡 was applied to the Blood Spirit, and then the Blood Spirit attached to his body.
His aura began to be controlled, so he was like a part of the night, blending into it.
Gu An walked slowly in the darkness of Sky Suspension Peak.
He would linger in places where people were chatting, wanting to hear if there was any news of Senior Brother Shi.
At least to know his residence.
He heard until midnight, and there was no news, but he unexpectedly discovered Senior Brother Shi's figure.
The other party was with a strong person, with a respectful face.
Gu An didn't know who that strong person was, but he didn't dare to look too much.
Afraid that the other party would notice his gaze, he just closed his eyes in the dark, feeling Senior Brother Shi's aura.
After he separated from that strong person, Gu An followed him.
Finally, he found that his residence was next to a huge rock.
So, Gu An found a forest far away from his residence and began to set up a formation.
The formation was set up underground, which should be hidden enough,
But for safety, he decided to set up another one further away.
He can't set up any more, too many might be discovered.
The setup will take three consecutive days, he must come over for three consecutive nights.
If after three days, the other party has not appeared in the range, then he will miss the opportunity.
When it was dark, Gu An returned to his residence.
He has done everything he can, it depends on whether he can succeed later.
The limit is here.
The next day, as soon as it was light,
Gu An went down the mountain to continue the task.
His reputation is not good, and those three people acted arbitrarily before.
Now I'm afraid the impression of him is even worse.
But when Gu An came down, many people were pointing at him,
It seemed to say that the people in his team seemed to have been killed for not complying with his wishes and bullying everyone.
One dead, one seriously injured, and one slightly injured.
It is said that the slightly injured one also lost an ear.
For a time, Gu An found that many people were discussing this.
Scorn, resentment.
Verbal criticism and written attacks.
Gu An had some psychological preparation, but he didn't expect it to become like this.
He seems to have originally wanted to stand up for those ten or so people, right?
Even if not, it should also be because these three people acted arbitrarily.
At worst, it was listening to his orders and arbitrarily punishing others.
How suddenly, they became victims, good people protecting everyone's interests?
And he became the villain that everyone criticized.
This kind of rumor has spread everywhere, even if it is fake, it must be true.
It only takes one mouth to spread rumors, but you break your legs to refute them.
He is alone, and Senior Brother Shi seems to have many people.
He holds absolute initiative.
In any situation, he is at a disadvantage.
Gu An sighed, he seems to have to be a bad person.
But at first, he clearly wanted to be a good person.
After that, Gu An waited for those two people.
Even if they were injured, they had to come to work.
It's not like they can't move.
The two asked him for leave, but he didn't approve it.
"Have you heard?" Gu An asked the two.
At this time, the two were a little afraid of Gu An, and were confused for a while.
Heard what?
"The things they are discussing in secret." Gu An stood in the logging forest, looking at the people inside.
"We just came." The originally proud woman shook her head.
At this time, her ear was gone.
The other one was even worse, his arm was gone.
Both were wrapped in bandages.
"They said that you resisted my orders for their benefit.
Then I attacked you, killing one and injuring two." Gu An looked at the two and said: "It seems I'm too bad."
Hearing this, the two immediately shook their heads: "No, Senior Brother...Senior Brother is very good to us, we are bad."
Gu An shook his head: "No, it's not that you are not good, it's that I'm bad, you didn't listen to me properly, and I seriously injured you arbitrarily.
So if you don't follow my wishes, I will attack again and let you feel my badness."
Gu An looked at the two with a serious face.
It's not that he wants to be bad, it's just that these people think he's bad.
Is he someone who can be wronged?
So he must be bad, not only to these two people, but also to all those who think he is bad.
So, Gu An looked at everyone in the logging forest and said:
"Go, let them feel your initial arrogance.
Those who should be beaten, beat them, those who should be fined, fine them, those who should be locked up, lock them up.
Just say it's my order, you have to obey."
The two were a little incredulous when they heard this.
They originally wanted to frame him.
He just took it when they framed him.
Saying he killed someone, does he really have to kill someone?
For a time, the two were a little afraid,
They are both in the middle stage of Jindan, but they are no match for this person together.
I'm afraid they are about to be promoted soon.
For a time, they did not dare to hesitate.
Start to review the people inside.
As long as they have been absent these days, all will be recorded and then punished.
Some typical ones will directly take action.
For a time, there was a chorus of complaints.
They felt that Gu An was too strict, they were clearly all there.
How could they be recorded as absent?
Isn't this clearly to deduct spirit stones.
For a time, someone began to shout: "Gu An, you are taking revenge, where is my problem? You forced them not to mention it, and now you are forcing all of us.
Are you not afraid of arousing public anger?"
Gu An calmly looked at the person in front of him, this person hasn't been recorded yet, right? Why did he jump out?
Too anxious.
Gu An didn't care, just looked at the other party calmly, and said: "Two junior brothers and sisters, I lost a thousand spirit stones, ask if this junior brother picked them up.
If so, let him hand over a thousand spirit stones, if it's not enough, it must have been divided by the people he knows, ask them together.
Hand them all over.
If it's still not enough, it must have been divided by the people around him or those he knows.
Don't let anyone go.
Also..
Gu An released the coercion of the middle stage of Jindan.
With a bang.
He directly pressed the opponent to his knees.
The kneecap made a cracking sound, the pain twisted him, and then Gu An's indifferent voice came:
"Also, call me senior brother."
In an instant, everyone reacted and quickly said they didn't know this person, and then quickly moved away.
Some even resented this person.
He has to offend people and implicate them.
Gu An looked at all this and sighed with lowered eyebrows.
So...
There are no eternal friends.
A little benefit can test the truth.
