#296 - Are your superiors not doing their job properly and don’t want to make progress?
Beneath the moonlight, a secluded corner of Heaven's Peak held a lake.
A fish floated on the surface, belly up, looking beyond saving.
A woman in a pink fairy dress passed by, glanced at the upturned fish, and shook her head with a sigh: "Wen is slacking off, eating so many good things for nothing."

Sighing, she entered the courtyard, not even glancing at the evergreen tree, and went straight to push open the gate.
She didn't act like she was visiting someone else's home at all.
The moment she opened the door, she saw the person inside and said with considerable disappointment, "The superior has arrived, yet you're still sitting in your seat, showing no awareness."
Gu An sat in his seat, looking bewildered, then asked, "What does Senior think I should do?"
"Get up and welcome your superior, of course." Chu Meng shook her head. "Don't you want to advance? If you don't treat your superior well,
how can you advance?"
Gu An was silent for a moment, then gave up on getting up.
After all, he didn't want to advance.
Chu Meng didn't mind, and instead sat down opposite Gu An, saying, "You came back quite quickly. Did you complete the mission?"
"I completed it." Gu An nodded. "Thanks to Senior's blessing."
"What did I do?" Chu Meng looked somewhat blank.
Gu An:
I was just being polite, you didn't need to ask, did you?
Seeing the person before her remain silent, Chu Meng casually said, "Alright, thanks to me, then how are you going to thank me?"
Hearing this, Gu An did have something to give.
He then took out a few bags of peanuts: "These are for Senior."
Chu Meng examined each bag, then grabbed a handful of peanuts with some shock, saying, "You're giving me this? Which superior can be bribed with this?
If you want to advance, what's the use of giving this?"
As she spoke, she casually put the things away, then said, "Alright, there's no advancing for you, so I won't make things difficult for you for now."
Then she asked with some curiosity, "Where are these things sold?"
As she spoke, she laid out dishes of food.
Gu An ate some pastries and said, "I bought them from an old man, who said they were home-grown. I tried them, and they were alright."
Chu Meng grabbed a handful of peanuts, watched the person before her throw two into their mouth, and said, "Those people are so sweet-talking when they sell things. What did the old man say at the time?"
Gu An didn't think much and repeated what the other party had said.
"Young master?" Chu Meng said in shock, "He called you young master? And you agreed?"
Gu An looked at the person before him in confusion, "Otherwise what?"
Chu Meng took out a mirror and said, "Take a look at yourself. Which part of you looks like a young master? Calling you old man would be more like it."
Gu An looked at his slightly mature self and sighed with emotion.
He had taken good care of himself over the years, showing no signs of aging.
That was something to be happy about.
But being called young master was a bit much.
He needed to be more careful next time.
"I think I'm not that old, being called young master is fine." Gu An replied casually.
"That's true, in your fifties, you're indeed young, just a bit prematurely aged." Chu Meng said as she ate peanuts.
Gu An didn't speak.
Prematurely aged it was, sooner or later he would become young again.
If that didn't work, he wouldn't get any older.
One day, everyone would be older than him.
"You've returned to the Void?" Chu Meng asked casually.
Gu An instinctively wanted to nod in response, then abruptly stopped himself, finally shaking his head and saying, "No."
"It seems you have." Chu Meng looked at the person before her and said, "Think about it, you weren't willing to answer before, now you dare to directly deny it. It seems the answer is no longer important.
That means you've advanced. A subordinate like you has no secrets in front of me.
It's not good to advance.
If you want to advance, you have to keep secrets.
It's tiring to teach you."
Gu An:
You're becoming annoying.
"How was it? Did you visit the brothels during this trip, to taste the outside world?" Chu Meng asked with a curious expression.
"This junior is wholeheartedly devoted to the Dao." Gu An replied casually.
"Don't you imagine some aloof fairies submitting to you?
And doing things that excite you? Can you really hold back at your age?
Think about it, slender legs, plump breasts, a slender waist you can grasp.
Pfft, look at yourself, you're drooling." Chu Meng reminded him.
Gu An was stunned, and subconsciously went to wipe his mouth.
But as soon as he raised his hand, he saw Chu Meng's all-knowing gaze.
In the end, he ignored her and continued to eat.
He didn't know what was in the other party's head.
Oh.
Chu Meng shook her head and sighed, "Could it be that you can't do it anymore?"
Gu An:
Do you want to hear what you're saying?
"If Senior has nothing else, please go back." Gu An couldn't listen anymore.
"Did you get any news during the mission?" Chu Meng asked.
Gu An thought for a moment and told the other party some of the information he knew.
The underground palace, the betrayal of the Skywind Palace, and some of the things he had seen and heard about the royal family.
For example, a county princess with extraordinary talent, a princess lost among the common people, and even a princess who had been swapped at birth.
Chu Meng's eyes widened as she listened, "A royal princess lost among the common people? And a princess who is actually a commoner? Who are they?"
Gu An shook his head, "I don't know, I just saw it on a servant, and I'm not sure if it's true or not."
"This is terrible. Logically speaking, the royal family's bloodline cannot be lost outside. I'm afraid someone inside deliberately switched them. If this is true, it will keep the royal family busy for a while." Chu Meng said with a smile, "I'll go investigate and share it with you.
You're really lucky to have a superior as good as me."
Gu An:
The good fortune I cultivated in my previous life is used to listen to gossip?
Are you kidding me?
"Is there a mission this time?" Gu An asked.
He really wanted to do a mission.
After all, he was still short a few token fragments.
As long as he obtained them, he could ask that woman to let him work part-time at the Hall of Yama.
In that way, he could obtain many special woods.
That would allow him to soar to the sky.
"You never wanted to do a mission before." Chu Meng said as she picked up a piece of pastry.
Before, I felt forced, but later I realized that there were no penalties, so I didn't need to care. Gu An thought in his heart.
In addition, his poison had been cured.
Although he didn't understand why he was poisoned with such a poison as a Qi Refiner, it seemed to be beneficial to him at the moment.
Whether there were further conspiracies, he didn't know.
In short, he had to improve himself as soon as possible.
"The recent missions are all about sect conflicts, the struggles of various True Inheritors. You can't join them." Chu Meng said.
Gu An understood what the other party meant.
He was a dark line, a very dark one.
Only a few people knew about him.
In order to be unexpected, he had to continue to hide for the time being.
"But you've been particularly dazzling recently, and you'll definitely be wooed. You have to deal with it yourself. You can't stand on anyone's side." Chu Meng said, then added, "Do you know what the whirlpool of the Six Institutes is?"
Gu An shook his head and looked at Chu Meng with some curiosity, "Does Senior know?"
"I know." Chu Meng said casually, "Isn't it just raising you like pigs, and then slaughtering you one by one when the time comes?"
Gu An was silent.
That was unlikely.
But Chu Meng might really know.
I wonder if I can exchange for this reward next time I complete a task.
Currently, there are not many things I lack.
Except for wood.
I'm afraid the Moon Tree's effect will be minimal.
I have to try it first.
After chatting for a while, Chu Meng got up and went back.
Gu An didn't care too much, and didn't ask about the underground palace.
Even if she asked, I wouldn't be able to answer because I don't understand it at all.
After Chu Meng left, Gu An came to the yard.
At this time, Fatty Tiger appeared in front of Gu An, flattering him: "Big brother, you're back?"
Looking at the Fatty Tiger in front of him, Gu An was silent for a moment and said:
"Did Lord Bayin send any news?"
Blood Demon Lord shook his head.
Afterwards, Gu An handed over some spells to him, asking him to identify them.
In addition, Gu An will also study on the side.
The more he learns, the more Gu An understands.
It will also be easy to see if there are any problems with other spells.
Of course, he will also have more understanding of his own spells.
Although my cultivation improvement relies on values, after the improvement, at least I need to understand.
The more subtle things, the more you need to thoroughly understand.
In this way, you can better mobilize the power of the body and exert its full power.
Otherwise, you will only use brute force, and you will suffer sooner or later.
If you don't understand your own power, you may lose your life.
The night passed quickly, and the Blood Demon Lord finished reading and explaining all the spells.
He also told about the places where there were fakes.
Half of them were fake.
It seems that the new batch of people have a lot of ideas.
After collecting the spells, Gu An didn't stay long and left quickly.
He needs to understand the next courtyard, and then understand the sect and Qingmu City.
In this way, he can make plans.
As for the report, it also needs to be submitted.
He is not sure how long the competition between the six courtyards will last.
Gu An is also not sure why they are competing.
He can only wait for the next task, and then learn the answer from Chu Meng.
In addition, this task, I'm afraid there will be follow-up questions.
He also needs to prepare.
Lingzhu Peak.
Chu Meng's courtyard.
At this time, she was sitting on a chair, sorting out the spiritual herbs she had just picked.
Soon, Chunyu walked in, and she respectfully saluted: "Miss."
"Yes." Chu Meng then responded, and then said: "Have you received any news?"
"What does Miss mean? A letter from the clan? Since the last letter, the clan has not sent any letters for the time being." Chunyu replied.
"Not these." Chu Meng put down the spiritual herb in her hand and looked at the person beside her: "Has the royal family had any special news recently?"
Chunyu was puzzled.
Chu Meng continued: "For example, a princess was lost among the people, or a certain princess is actually a commoner."
Hearing this, Chunyu was stunned for a moment, a little unbelievable: "How is this possible? How could the royal family have a princess lost among the people?"
Chu Meng smiled and said: "Ask people to inquire and see if there is this news. If there really is, find a way to find that princess.
See what she is like, and also determine who is the fake princess."
Chunyu nodded immediately.
At this time, Chu Meng took out a few bags of peanuts and said: "In addition, peel these peanuts, I will eat them later."
"Cooked?" Chunyu looked at the peanuts and said: "But doesn't Miss not eat cooked ones?"
"I want to eat them now, is that okay?" Chu Meng said calmly.
Chunyu immediately lowered her head: "Miss, please forgive me."
She also wanted to ask if these ordinary peanuts might not taste good.
In the end, she didn't dare to ask.
"By the way, write a letter back." Chu Meng smiled and said: "Just talk about the princess lost among the people, it seems that the clan is very lively."
"Then should I mention Miss's wishes? They seem to want Miss to get married as soon as possible." Chunyu asked.
"No need to mention this matter." Chu Meng said casually.
Chunyu nodded.
After a pause, Chu Meng said again: "Have you investigated Hua Jiyang?"
Chunyu immediately said: "I have investigated. He should be a disciple of a certain peak master in the sect. Everything about him is difficult to trace. He seems to be a highly valued disciple. Now he is out to complete a task.
No one knows the specific task.
In addition, he has been to some places and had some contact with Gu An of Tianxuan Peak.
However, when he was in the outer sect, Hua Jiyang seemed to have a feud with a certain direct disciple, which caused everyone to stay away from him.
Gu An also broke contact with him at that time.
In addition, if you want to investigate the specific situation further, you will be hindered.
The person behind him has a very strong energy in the sect."
Chu Meng nodded casually and said: "Well, no need to investigate, lest it arouse his vigilance."
Chunyu nodded, and then asked Chunyu to do things.
Chu Meng continued to process her spiritual herbs.
Peak Outside Peak.
Gu An submitted two reports in one breath.
One is the report of the First Courtyard last month, and the other is the report of the mission.
The First Courtyard report is a routine, once a month.
After the task is completed, you need to write down the process.
Let the Main Courtyard know what you have done, so that you can know what to do next.
Otherwise, it will be chaotic.
After completing these, Gu An had nothing else to do.
Then he recalled Chu Meng last night.
He still couldn't see the other party's cultivation level.
"Is she really twenty-five years old?"
Gu An couldn't imagine it.
There may be a twenty-five-year-old Yuanshen in this world, but a twenty-five-year-old Returning Void is too much.
Either the other party hid her cultivation level, and he still can't see through it.
So he thinks the other party's cultivation level is very high.
Or the other party lied about her age.
If neither of these is the case, then there is only the last possibility left.
She is similar to him.
They all have certain opportunities.
As for which one it is, Gu An cannot draw a conclusion for the time being,
So far, the only thing he can do is to continue to improve his cultivation level.
He hopes that one day he will be able to see the other party's strength.
He doesn't have any special ideas, he just wants to know.
After all, the unknown always makes people uneasy.
That night.
Gu An continued to chop wood.
After a night, there was only one warm current.
Spell plus one.
Bitter cultivation did not increase at all.
The second night, Gu An continued to chop wood.
However, this time there was no warm current at all.
Continue on the third day.
This time there was a warm current.
It's still spell plus one.
On the fourth day, still nothing.
On the fifth day, still nothing.
Gu An was a little stunned.
No for two consecutive days?
This is too exaggerated.
Then continue to chop wood.
On the sixth day, there was finally a warm current.
Bitter cultivation plus one.
Six days, two points of spells and one point of bitter cultivation?
Why did it suddenly drop so much?
It didn't seem to drop so much before.
Could it be that the cultivation level has been improved relatively high.
So the traces of years and spiritual energy needed are increasing more and more?
Gu An carefully sensed it and found that he is now different from before.
The Azure Lotus Profound Yellow Sutra is several times more difficult to improve than the previous exercises.
In this way, the amount of wood chopping will also increase exponentially.
The co-author this time, even if the fifth volume of Qi Sea Tiangang is full, may not be able to try to promote?
Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Sure enough, he still needs to join the Rosheng Hall.
Why hasn't Chu Meng issued a task yet?
This superior is a bit unambitious.
Doesn't she want to improve?
The more tasks he completes, the more benefits she, the superior, will get.
