#305 - Shocked, right?
Dongfang Changli had arrived in this land not long ago.
When she came, she was unaware of many things.
She had to ask about everything.
Now, she had even completely inquired about the affairs of the royal family.
She had even found the lost princess.
One should know that even the royal family might not know about this matter.
The changes in just a few months were too fast.
The only possibility was the music box.
Or perhaps she had obtained even more things.
There was also the possibility of joining other intelligence forces.
But that was her ability, and I just needed to be more careful in the future.
To prevent her from inquiring about my news.
As for being seen through, that was unlikely; with the Xuan Huang Qi, no one should be able to see through me.
That should be the case currently, but it would be hard to say if any strong individuals or divine objects appeared in the future.
However, there was no need to delve into how exactly she obtained the news.
Currently, it seemed that she had indeed given a reward.
For me, this news was quite valuable.
I completed the task and also understood Yue Han's identity, and the Zhuanlun lineage was also coming.
It was just a bit of a pity that she didn't say who the county princess of the Cangmu Sect was.
Also, she didn't give any news about the people of the Zhuanlun lineage.
Otherwise, I could have made preparations in advance.
For example, to persuade them to value harmony.
Originally, Gu An wanted to burn the letter, but soon, he saw that there was actually writing on the back of the envelope.
After a quick look, it turned out to be a cultivation technique called the Mountain Moving Art.
After a simple look, Gu An discovered that this Mountain Moving Art was actually to temper one's own strength, comparable to mountains, rivers, and streams, thereby creating boundless Qi and blood, capable of moving mountains and calming the seas.
It was rough but detailed, with astonishing power.
I'll ask the Blood Demon Divine Monarch to simply modify it and then send it to the people of the First Courtyard for cultivation.
Give it to Yu Tu; his physical potential is huge, and the Mountain Moving Art should be quite suitable for him.
His cultivation speed is not fast, and the power he needs to accumulate at the same level is too great.
In addition, he still has grievances with Qingmei.
Several times he felt that his strength was enough, but in the end, he was still bullied.
It's not that Qingmei is progressing rapidly, but that she is very good at finding helpers.
Now, Yu Tu not only bullies people from the same village but is also rumored to have threatened Qingmei by harming her parents.
He can be described as infamous; people inherently have flaws, and his heart is so dirty.
If it weren't for the fact that he was already a member of the Demonic Sect, he would have been called a heretical devil.
Unfortunately, Yu Tu couldn't explain at all.
And no one listened to his explanation; they just believed in the beautiful and pitiful Qingmei.
With such a pitiful appearance, surely she wouldn't be faking it, right?
Would a woman really falsely accuse someone using her own parents?
Regarding these things, Gu An only knew about them and couldn't help the other party.
The road is not easy to walk, and you have to walk it yourself; no one can replace you.
As soon as it got dark, Gu An began.
Everything else could be put aside for now.
Early September.
The new round of submissions for the Six Courtyards began.
Now, many people already understood that the last place would have a task.
It would be good if the task was successful, but if the task failed, then it should be equivalent to being eliminated.
To be more stable, Gu An chose to increase resources by 30%.
The next day.
The rankings finally came down.
Gu An once again ranked third.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
September 5th.
Just as Gu An felt he could steadily improve his cultivation, Pang Wen came looking for him.
Pang Wen was basically in charge of the matters of the Second Team of the Back Courtyard and the First Courtyard.
Except for some necessary things, Gu An didn't need to do anything else.
Pang Wen's talent was not strong, and his ability couldn't be considered particularly outstanding, but he did have some ability.
He was stronger than me.
"Senior Brother, a task sent by the Main Courtyard," Pang Wen gave Gu An a letter.
"A task?" Gu An's expression didn't change, but he was extremely surprised in his heart.
Why would I have a task?
"Yes, it's a task issued by the sect," Pang Wen said.
This unexpected task surprised Gu An somewhat.
Then he opened the letter and began to read it.
The task issued by the sect.
It said that the sect had recently discovered a brand new spiritual tree in the east and was currently reclaiming wasteland.
They needed to send some people to lead teams to help.
Gu An was one of them.
The other people on the team were also matched by the sect.
The task time was mid-September, and they could return in at most three months, unless they made significant contributions during that time.
Gu An could be certain that this was definitely a task that appeared for the sake of competition.
But, I ranked in the top three, so why do I still have a task?
Gu An asked Pang Wen to inquire, and this time, four people from the Six Courtyards actually received tasks.
The Second Courtyard was again at the bottom.
And the other three, including Gu An, were the first, second, and third in this resource submission ranking.
The tasks of the three people were not the same.
If the last place had a resurrection match task, then the top three should be reward tasks.
Thinking of this, Gu An breathed a sigh of relief.
In that case, there was no need to stand out.
The task was for three months, and there shouldn't be any new tasks issued.
The only thing to be concerned about was keeping the ranking in the top five each month.
It would be best to be in the top four or five, but it was easy for something to happen if you were deliberately trying to rank.
It didn't matter if the ranking was higher.
As long as it wasn't first, even if the task wasn't completed.
You had to give other people a chance.
In addition, before leaving, he had to meet that long princess.
After all, the people of the Zhuanlun lineage would definitely come, and he had to know where they were in advance.
Then, report them.
To ensure his own safety.
The other party should be trying to contact the person who was going to marry the county princess; killing people might just be a side effect.
Then there was no need to worry about finding the wasteland reclamation area.
There was a complete opportunity to strike first.
Noon.
Gu An had Pang Wen bring the two to the courtyard.
When Yue Han came in, she was a little worried: "Qingyao, what do you think this Dean is looking for us to do here?
He wouldn't want to do anything bad, right?
Look at that Second Courtyard Dean, I've seen him twice, and he's really getting thinner day by day."
"It's okay, Princess, you don't need to worry at all; normally, people with this kind of thinking have no interest in you," Qingyao Fairy said seriously.
"Then I'm afraid you'll have to suffer," Yue Han said with emotion.
Qingyao Fairy was speechless for a moment.
Gu An naturally heard the conversation between the two, and was silent for a while.
Am I like that kind of person?
Only Chu Meng mentioned it in my ear every time.
What a thought.
"The Dean is looking for us?" At this time, the two walked in.
Yue Han hid behind Qingyao Fairy.
The former also looked a little awkward, as if she was afraid that others would see the fertility of her chest.
Gu An was silent.
Why do I have a feeling of being insulted?
However, he still maintained a cold expression and said: "I got news that something happened inside the royal family, saying that a long princess escaped; do you know about it?"
"I know," Yue Han nodded and said: "I heard that the long princess is extremely talented, tall, with curves in all the right places, slender where she should be, and is the number one beauty of this era.
If I could see her beautiful face, even if it made my cultivation soar all the way, and luck fall on my head, I would be willing."
Gu An was silent for a moment and said: "Then do you know what her name is?"
"Of course I know, but I definitely can't say; this kind of news is valuable; wouldn't it be worthless if I said it?" Yue Han said seriously.
Gu An looked at the other party and finally said, "Alright, I didn't ask you to find the Eldest Princess. I want to find the Eldest Princess's maid."
As he spoke, Gu An looked at Fairy Qingyao and said, "I heard that the maid has some abilities and can identify people from the Reincarnation lineage?
Is that true?"
Fairy Qingyao was a little shocked, then looked at Yue Han.
Yue Han was confused: "Why are you looking at me? How would I know?"
Fairy Qingyao shook her head: "I don't know about such things either."
"Mm." Gu An nodded, not caring, and said: "Since that's the case, I won't keep you two. Leave the Azure Wood Sect.
You two are of no value to me. One Branch doesn't need useless people.
Besides, I will report your matter to the sect.
I hope you two have a safe journey."
As he spoke, Gu An was about to see them off.
It would be best if they could help him; if not, even better.
He would use this opportunity to send them away.
Keeping them would only be trouble.
Chen Changfeng was the same.
He didn't know what Chen Changfeng's brain was made of.
He had already abandoned him in front of his face, but even so, it didn't seem to have any impact.
Was he so selflessly devoted?
Was he born with a constitution of a cow or horse?
However, such a person only lacked an opportunity.
To become a selfish person.
When the opportunity came, he would no longer be restrained and would leap up, rising rapidly.
After all, the things that person had picked up had never been used for himself.
Even the cultivation methods were fake.
He sighed in his heart, hoping to send the person away as soon as possible, or teach him to be more selfish, so that he wouldn't stay here.
Seeing that Gu An really intended to let them go and even expose their identities.
Yue Han immediately said, "We can talk. You're such an old man, why are you so impatient?
Generally, elders are the most patient.
They all like to cultivate their character and nourish their nature."
Gu An looked at the other party in silence.
Was there a possibility that he was much younger than her?
Although he didn't look very young, he was only fifty-one years old.
How could a three-hundred-year-old woman compare to him?
"Now you know?" Gu An asked.
"I know." Fairy Qingyao had no choice but to nod.
Yue Han asked curiously: "How did you know our identities? And you even know Qingyao has such an ability? I didn't even know."
"Aren't you trash? Naturally, I'm not trash." Gu An replied.
"What you said makes some sense, but you're being impolite by scolding me like that. I'm over three hundred years old,
so according to seniority, I'm your elder." Yue Han said, acting like an old senior.
Gu An ignored her and said: "Recently, I killed someone from the Reincarnation lineage. It won't be long before people from the Reincarnation lineage enter the sect.
I hope you can find them and give me the list.
Of course, as a reward, you can leave One Branch at any time."
"Aren't you just tricking people into doing hard labor?" Yue Han looked at Gu An and said: "You're going to let us go even if we don't do anything, and you're still going to let us go if we do something. Isn't that doing things for nothing? Is that how your master taught you to deceive people? Fortunately, my master taught me how to prevent scams."
Fairy Qingyao nodded in agreement: "What the princess said is indeed reasonable."
Gu An pondered for a moment and said, "Then I'll tell you a piece of news. Isn't the Azure Wood Sect going to have a marriage alliance with the royal family?"
"Do you know who the marriage partner is?" Yue Han immediately asked.
Gu shook his head: "No news has been revealed yet. They all say it might be a true disciple. Of course, what I want to tell you is not this, but that the Reincarnation lineage seems to be starting to infiltrate your royal family. They plan to start with the marriage partner from the Azure Wood Sect.
Absorbing him into the Reincarnation lineage.
When they get married, he will naturally become their hidden line left in the royal family."
Hearing this, Yue Han and Fairy Qingyao were both stunned.
They were a little caught off guard.
They really didn't know about this.
"I didn't expect that I would be doing meritorious service for the royal family just by coming out for a bit. What will the royal family do without me in another eighty years?" Yue Han said with emotion.
Gu An: ".
It's your maid who's doing the work. The royal family can still be fine without you.
"In a few days, I will go out. At that time, I will have Pang Wen take you to visit the sect. Then you will have to try to find the people from the Reincarnation lineage." Gu An said seriously: "I will have Pang Wen cooperate with you."
Hearing this, Fairy Qingyao nodded. After hesitating, she said: "As a reward, we hope you can tell us relevant information, such as news about the royal family."
"That depends on how well you do things." Gu An said.
"We will definitely do meritorious service. In addition, you have to help us find out who the marriage partner is. Of course, we can also exchange it for news." Yue Han immediately said.
"What news do you have?" Gu An asked.
"Of course I can't say it. If you're not curious, how can I trade with you?" Yue Han said.
Gu An didn't care and told them to go back.
After sending them away, Gu An also breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, it could be considered smooth.
The Reincarnation lineage shouldn't have taken action yet, so he could find them.
Nip this danger in the bud.
As for what the Reincarnation lineage's purpose was, he hadn't properly understood it.
But since they were already looking for him, what they were doing didn't matter.
Before dawn, Gu An returned to Sky Suspension Peak.
He asked Noodles, who had recovered, to find Chu Meng.
The other party was very repulsive.
However, under Gu An's gentle guidance, he still went.
Just say one sentence: when Chu Meng comes, tell her that Noodles is often hungry.
And so, Noodles went.
That evening.
Chu Meng came.
She came before dinnertime.
As soon as she came, the lights turned on.
Gu An was wondering whose house this was?
Then there was a table full of dishes.
And a plate of peeled, cooked peanuts.
Gu recognized it. He had bought them.
"Are these tasty?" Gu An asked.
"Disgusting." Chu Meng said seriously: "I never thought that the first time my subordinate bought me something, it would be something so disgusting.
Even I, who likes to eat peanuts, say they're disgusting. How disgusting do you think they are?"
Gu An was slightly surprised, grabbed a handful, and started eating them, saying: "They're quite tasty."
"The superior says they're disgusting, and the subordinate sings a different tune? Don't you want to improve anymore? You don't have any ideological awareness.
Isn't your brain full of the fairies in the building?
Seeing me easily arouses the evil thoughts in your heart, and you can't wait to go to the building, right?" Chu Meng said seriously while eating peanuts.
Gu An was silent.
Could you please not mention the fairies in the building every three sentences?
You're a woman, after all.
If you're not ashamed, I'm ashamed.
In order to prevent the other party from saying anything else, Gu An directly handed a book to the other party.
Then he said: "Senior, please take a look at this."
Then Gu An began to eat.
Chu Meng was a little puzzled, then started reading.
The more she read, the more shocked she became: "You completed the task just like that? You didn't make it up, did you?"
Gu An chuckled and continued to eat.
Shocking, right?
He exchanged it for an unknown music box.
A great profit.
