#326 - Announcement of marriage candidates
The end of December.
Gu An held the bell and shook it, this thing could make him slightly lost in thought.
It was a rare treasure.
It should also be something Chen Changfeng gave to those people.
With this thing, he would be safer among those at the Return to Void stage.

However, so many days have passed, why haven't the people from the Heavenly Maiden lineage come yet?
Gu An had to take these people seriously.
After all, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment was of great importance.
The visitors would also be extremely powerful, and he could be in danger at any time.
In case they had special detection methods, he would not be able to escape.
Therefore, he was very concerned about whether the Heavenly Maiden lineage had arrived.
Logically speaking, they should directly barge in.
Or they would pay a grand visit.
Putting pressure on the Cangmu Sect, and then making the sect cooperate with them.
However, Gu An had been observing for a long time, and there were no suspicious people visiting the Cangmu Sect.
"I don't know when they will come." Gu An sighed in his heart.
What he feared most was this kind of situation, knowing they were coming, but they were late in arriving.
Making people worried.
Sighing, Gu An in the courtyard stopped thinking about it.
His current situation was not good, but he should not be in great danger within the sect.
After all, he was still a marriage candidate.
In addition, he was still an undercover agent of the Zhuanlun lineage, and the Law Enforcement Hall would also help him.
It was just that this identity was a bit troublesome. If the Six Courtyards knew that he was one of the six marriage candidates.
He would probably be the first one to be eliminated.
The Zhuanlun lineage and the royal family were incompatible.
After that, Gu An began to check the books sent by Pang Wen.
Some of them recorded cultivation methods and books, and some of them were written cultivation experiences.
Gu An would read every book, to see what kind of experience others had in cultivation, and also to determine the correctness of the cultivation methods and techniques with his own knowledge.
Of course, the next day he would go to find the Blood Demon Divine Lord to confirm whether he had any mistakes.
In this way, he would understand faster and more.
So as to make up for the disadvantages brought about by the too rapid improvement of cultivation.
And besides these, there were the income of the First Courtyard.
The First Courtyard had a monthly income of more than 4,000 spirit stones.
That was a lot.
Unless someone was redeemed, there would not be much other extra income.
After all, Peak Beyond Peak was so big, and there were so many people competing with him.
He just didn't know how he would rank this time after handing it over.
It shouldn't be high.
Fortunately, there were some secrets about other sects, hopefully they would be useful.
Afternoon.
Pang Wen came over.
"Team leader, someone is looking for you."
Hearing this, Gu An was slightly surprised: "Who is it?"
"Someone from the outer sect, saying they are your relatives," Pang Wen said.
Hearing this, Gu An frowned slightly.
Relatives?
Where did the relatives come from?
He was born naturally, it was impossible for him to have relatives.
However, out of curiosity, Gu An still went to see the other party.
Outside Peak Beyond Peak.
Gu An saw a middle-aged man.
His clothes were tattered, his head was lowered, and he was a little embarrassed, as if he had been bullied for a long time.
When Gu An saw him, he frowned.
Early stage of Return to Void.
Concealed his cultivation.
And...
There was the aura of the Zhuanlun Wonderful Method.
A member of the Zhuanlun lineage.
No wonder he came to find him, after all, he was an undercover agent of the Zhuanlun lineage on the surface.
It's a pity that those who came to him were not the people he was looking for.
Otherwise, this task would be over.
After Pang Wen left, Gu An politely said: "Senior is looking for me?"
The other party deliberately suppressed him with the Zhuanlun aura, seemingly to show that his identity was higher.
The originally embarrassed man suddenly straightened his back and looked at Gu An condescendingly: "You are the undercover agent in the Cangmu Sect?"
Gu An nodded: "It's me, does senior have anything to say?"
"What is your mission?" the man asked.
Gu An shook his head: "I have no mission."
"No?" The man frowned, but quickly ignored it, and said:
"Then fully cooperate with me and listen to my dispatch."
Hearing this, Gu An's heart sank.
He didn't expect that he was doing a good job as an undercover agent, but suddenly he was requisitioned.
It seemed that the other party felt that his cultivation was ordinary and could be completely manipulated.
But he didn't know the internal situation of the Zhuanlun lineage.
Also unsure whether refusal was good or bad.
However, the other party came so blatantly, was he not afraid of the Law Enforcement Hall?
He was an undercover agent on the surface.
After all, the other party was at the Return to Void stage, not the previous Foundation Establishment stage.
The Foundation Establishment stage was because his lifespan was not long and he had no way out, this senior didn't look like he had no way out.
Perhaps he felt that his undercover agent on the surface had enough value.
Before Gu An could refuse, the other party continued: "Since you are at Peak Beyond Peak and have some power, then it is time for you to do something for us.
First, transfer three people from the outside, the first one is naturally me,
Then hand over the management of the First Courtyard to me, and I will definitely make your First Courtyard have enough benefits.
Of course, I will not compete with you for the benefits of the First Courtyard.
That's all yours.
But you still need to cooperate with what you should cooperate with."
"Which two other people?" Gu An asked curiously.
"You don't need to worry about which two, first transfer me over, and then give me the qualifications to transfer people."
The other party was giving orders.
It seemed that Gu An had to listen to whatever he said.
After a moment of silence, Gu An looked at the other party and said: "What is senior's name, which district of the outer sect are you from?"
"Peng Ming, East District of the outer sect." Peng Ming reported his name.
Hearing this, Gu An nodded.
Then he said goodbye.
Back at his residence, Gu An thought for a moment and went to the Law Enforcement Hall.
Dugu Jing was also quite surprised after learning about these things.
He didn't expect that the people of the Zhuanlun lineage would directly come over and even give orders.
"Do you know what his cultivation level is?" Dugu Jing asked.
Gu An shook his head: "But he can suppress my gears."
Dugu Jing thought for a while and said: "We can't arrest him for the time being, after all, you have to get news from them and find the person we are looking for, but you don't have to worry, as long as you are near the sect, you are safe.
As long as you crush the jade pendant on your body, we will appear, and the jade pendant will also resist some attacks for you within the sect.
But it will not work if you are far away from the sect."
Gu An nodded, and then said: "If an undercover agent dies, is it considered a mutual killing of sect disciples?"
"That depends on whether the undercover agent is obvious or not. If it is obvious, it doesn't count, and if it is not obvious, it may count." Dugu Jing seriously replied: "After all, we have to determine which one is more convenient.
If it is more convenient to determine the identity of the undercover agent, then it doesn't count.
If it is too difficult to determine and it is more convenient to arrest people, then it counts as killing each other."
Gu An sighed, it was really a flexible bottom line, anyway, the Law Enforcement Hall felt that they would do less if they could do less.
After that, Dugu Jing said to go back and investigate the person in the outer sect.
In this way, Gu An was relieved.
The Law Enforcement Hall had intervened, and they would probably be able to know the other party's background.
The one who came was in the early stage of Return to Void, who could determine what the cultivation levels of the other two were.
In addition, knowing that he was an undercover agent on the surface, there should be some problems no matter how you look at it, and the other party took the initiative to come over.
Either there was something wrong with his spirit, or he was hiding some purpose.
In addition, he had karmic power on his body, wouldn't these people kill him?
Doubts were heavy, it was not easy to be an undercover agent of the Zhuanlun lineage.
It was always easy to encounter strong people.
It was not easy to gain a foothold in the sect, and now he would not provoke too strong people, but external people came.
The Zhuanlun lineage was more or less provoked by him, and the Heavenly Maiden lineage was completely provoked by him.
He didn't know if the sect could bear it.
If the sect knew that he had provoked these people...
He would probably be expelled from the sect the next day.
After returning, Gu An did not transfer people.
Bringing the other party over would be adding trouble to the First Courtyard,
On this day, Yue Han and the others learned that he was an undercover agent of the Zhuanlun lineage.
They were clamoring to see him.
Gu An could only let them come.
The people in the First Courtyard were also troublesome.
Chen Changfeng hasn't left yet, still full of energy. Gu An doesn't know what he's thinking.
From now on, the sky's the limit for birds to fly, and the ocean's the limit for fish to leap. Is he really not leaving the prison?
With his luck and talent, he's destined to become a great figure in the future.
Gu An sighed, but he couldn't control the other party's decisions.
Furthermore, he has to complete the task from his superiors in January.
He has to make contact with the people of the Nine Heavens Pavilion.
As a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, he doesn't know if he'll be looked down upon again.
If it's just being looked down upon, he wouldn't mind so much.
He's just afraid they'll make a move.
If they all suddenly have a pang of conscience and die of shame, he doesn't know if his superiors will consider it a completed mission or a failure.
Gu An also finds it quite troublesome.
"Dean." The voice arrived before the person.
Yue Han rushed in from outside, filled with anger.
Gu An took a sip of water, looking at the two of them without saying a word.
Fairy Qingyao looked at Gu An warily, while Yue Han was furious: "Dean, you're not following the rules."
"What rules?" Gu An asked.
"We're helping you find someone from the Reincarnation lineage, how can you join them?" Yue Han said seriously.
Gu An thought for a moment, then said: "Then do you still want me to find marriage partners?"
Yue Han was stunned for a moment, then said: "Why wouldn't we?"
"Finding them means cooperating with the Reincarnation lineage. Your royal family and the Reincarnation lineage don't seem to get along very well." Gu An paused, adding: "Cooperating with me is like colluding with villains."
After a pause, Fairy Qingyao said: "Aren't you afraid we'll kill you?"
Gu An shook his head slightly: "There are many people in the First Institute stronger than the two fairies. Can they kill me?"
"Don't include me. I'm only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. It's too humiliating for them to compare themselves to me," Yue Han corrected.
Gu An didn't say much else, only saying: "Now there are two choices in front of you. One is to continue cooperating with me, but the fact that I'm from the Reincarnation lineage cannot be changed.
The second is to refuse to cooperate with me. I'll give you a thousand spirit stones as compensation for the last mission.
You can leave Azurewood Sect today."
Yue Han was somewhat conflicted.
"Princess..." Fairy Qingyao said softly, afraid the princess would do something foolish.
Yue Han looked at Gu An and said: "Dean, are you sure you can find marriage partners?"
Gu An smiled without saying a word.
He didn't want to say too much, lest it affect the other party's determination to leave.
However, Yue Han said seriously: "Since that's the case, we'll stay."
Fairy Qingyao was a little anxious, wanting to speak.
But Gu An spoke first, somewhat puzzled: "Why?"
"I feel like you don't have the intention of absorbing the royal family," Yue Han said with a smile. "Although I'm useless, I've seen a lot of the Reincarnation lineage.
If they knew I was useless and also knew I was from the royal family, they would immediately advise me on whether or not to join the Reincarnation lineage.
After all, I'll be reaching the end of my lifespan in a few decades.
Joining the Reincarnation lineage would be the last choice.
But Dean knew I was from the royal family and also knew I was useless, but has been slow to absorb me, not showing any intent of having me join.
What does this mean?
Dean's Reincarnation lineage is not traditional enough."
Gu An:
Not traditional enough?
She saw through that?
But he really hadn't deliberately disguised himself.
Fairy Qingyao finally realized, looking at the princess in shock.
"I'm useless, but I didn't say I'm stupid. Didn't your master teach you to use your brain? Fortunately, my master did," Yue Han said seriously.
Seeing the intelligent side of the princess, Fairy Qingyao felt a little sad, lamenting why the princess didn't have the talent for cultivation.
Yue Han looked at Fairy Qingyao beside her, curiously saying: "Qingyao, what kind of look is that? What are you sad about? Isn't my life funny enough?"
Qingyao:
Gu An was silent after hearing that.
Do you want to hear what's wrong with that sentence?
After a moment of silence, Gu An suddenly asked: "What do you know about the Nine Heavens Pavilion?"
"Nine Heavens Pavilion?" Yue Han thought for a moment, then said: "I heard they have some cooperation with the royal family, and they have a strange secret realm that seems to contain many good things.
It seems that every few years, they invite some disciples from various sects to enter.
Has your sect not been invited before?"
Gu An shook his head: "No, maybe it's because we're too far away."
Qingyao added: "I remember someone from the royal family entered before, saying there were many forests inside, and many of the trees were not simple, somewhat similar to your place.
But none of this has been noticed by anyone, because the center of the secret realm is said to contain divine objects or innate divine medicine.
But no one has ever obtained them."
After asking some more questions, Gu An let them return.
Gu An thought briefly, feeling that the arrival of the Nine Heavens Pavilion might be related to this secret realm.
If they're not here to buy wood, could they be logging?
Logging...
If there's good enough spirit wood, can I make a move?
Afterwards, Gu An shook his head, thinking he should forget it. It's too dangerous to go out.
He's carrying too many things on his back.
Above the Azurewood Sect's main hall.
Qu Youdao looked at the two people who were seriously injured and unconscious, saying: "How should we deal with these two? Hand them over to the Hall of Law Enforcement? See if the Hall of Law Enforcement can find out anything?"
Situ Baichuan shook his head: "That won't work. If we hand them over to the Hall of Law Enforcement, they won't be able to escape, so there's no way to call for more powerful people to come."
"But it can't be too serious, it would violate the Sect Master's principle of harmony as the most valuable thing," Yan Ruxue said with a smile, resting her chin on one hand.
"It's a pity that the leaders of the six institutes are too weak, they don't cause trouble. As marriage candidates, they can be used as a source of trouble."
Qu Youdao thought for a moment, then said: "Speaking of which, what's the attitude of the royal family?"
At this moment, the compassionate fairy suddenly took out a letter, saying: "It was delivered just now when you were fighting. The person who delivered the letter was too pitiful, no one paid attention to them."
"What's pitiful about not crying?" Yan Ruxue said, getting up and taking the letter. "Next time, remember to cry loudly."
The compassionate fairy looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, large teardrops sliding down from the corners of her eyes.
Yan Ruxue didn't care, instead looking at the envelope.
"What does it say?" Situ Baichuan asked.
Yan Ruxue looked at the letter and said: "It says that after so long, they hope we choose the marriage candidates and announce them. They seem to be very anxious, it seems the royal family has big internal problems.
They're hoping this side can attract some attention.
They're starting to rely on the influence of small sects like ours, it seems they can no longer care about their original purpose."
Qu Youdao shook his head, saying: "Actually, that's not necessarily the case, because we're now a demonic sect. A county princess in a demonic sect is not easily accepted.
But since the other party wants to divert some people's attention, we naturally have to help.
After all, they've given us so much.
Then we'll directly announce the marriage candidates.
In addition, the First Institute has a Reincarnation lineage spy, what do you think will happen when this is announced? How many enemies and controversies will it attract?
As for the purpose of the Heavenly Maiden faction, there's no need to specially block it, just let it develop normally.
This way, the sect will become lively. Our sect values harmony, and we will never actively attack.
Afterwards, let the Hall of Law Enforcement manage things strictly. Even if it gets lively, we can't let the sect be in chaos.
It would make us look stupid if it got chaotic.
Within the sect, only we kill spies, how can we let spies kill people and rise to power? When they come, they have to follow the rules and dedicate themselves.
Only then can they obtain more information.
We're giving them opportunities.
Whether they can seize them depends on themselves.
As for the two people we just caught, their strength is not simple, send them to feed the Fire Phoenix.
Letting them run away is indeed not suitable."
