#374 - The marriage partner lives an undisciplined life
Heaven Suspension Peak.
Pang Wen walked with difficulty on the road up the mountain.
Along this road, there was sword dao astral energy, so it was not easy for him to ascend with his cultivation level.
The mountain top was completely different from the foot of the mountain.
Usually, only those with outstanding cultivation or those who had become disciples of the peak lord were qualified to ascend the mountain.
Ordinary inner disciples with Golden Core cultivation were not qualified to reach the mountainside of each peak.
Pang Wen's ascent naturally caught the attention of many people.
Others were also curious about what he was doing on the mountain.
Of course, there were also those who simply wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
"Who is that? Daring to come up here with that cultivation level? His Golden Core mid-stage cultivation is quite weak, and his talent is mediocre."
"What's the big fuss? Aren't there people like that every month?
1
"But none are as fragile as him."
"The situation is uncertain, let's go."
Pang Wen heard many voices along the way, all of which were unpleasant.
But he was indeed weak.
Even with the guidance of Senior Zhao Qingshan, even with the resources of the First Institute.
But he was indeed not strong, and his talent was far inferior to these disciples on the mountain.
For a moment, he suddenly understood why the team leader didn't come back often.
Soon.
Pang Wen ascended the mountain, and then respectfully inquired about the team leader's residence from the senior brother guarding the gate.
The other party was a little surprised, but in the end, he pointed out the location.
Pang Wen didn't dare to hesitate and quickly went over.
It would be too late if he delayed any longer.
The person guarding the gate watched him leave and was quite surprised: "He's actually from the First Institute. Logically speaking, the First Institute is now at its zenith, but it looks like something has happened."
He immediately passed the news on to someone he knew well.
Perhaps they could try to win over Gu An.
Now, Gu An was the core of the First Institute.
Although his cultivation was ordinary and he didn't look very young.
The royal family had taken a fancy to him.
That made him different.
As for whether he would be ridiculed because of this, that was only natural.
After all, there were all kinds of people in this world.
As long as one thought that the other party was also trash in the royal family and not worth the royal family's attention, then one could go and ridicule him. But from another perspective, even if the other party was trash, he still represented the face of the royal family, the person chosen by the sect.
If everyone could target him, wouldn't that mean they didn't care about the face of the royal family or the sect?
"Do you think anyone will make trouble for Junior Brother Gu An?" another gatekeeper asked curiously.
The gatekeeper who gave directions thought for a moment and said, "Definitely."

The other gatekeeper was puzzled: "He's a spy from the Reincarnation lineage, a famous figure in the Hall of Merits, a marriage partner of the royal family,
the holder of real power in the First Institute, the master's disciple. Although his cultivation is ordinary, his status is there. Does anyone still dare to make trouble for him?
It can't be that Junior Brother Gu would encounter even an idiot, right?
The gatekeeper who gave directions smiled and said, "There aren't that many idiots in this world, but if they're not idiots, they won't provoke him. How could he encounter them? So, the people one encounters are mostly idiots, and the possibility is quite high.
I hope the people of Heaven Suspension Peak are smarter, otherwise, they'll be slapping the peak lord's face.
Then they can only pray for good fortune."
On the other side.
Gu An sat quietly by the lake, casually tossing some peanuts.
He needed to stabilize his mind and then deal with the subsequent events that would occur.
Now that things had come to this, he could only go on step by step.
He would talk about the future later.
He would first try to become stronger, perhaps there would still be a turning point.
Just as he was throwing peanuts, Pang Wen suddenly appeared by the lake.
Gu An was slightly surprised.
The other party looked a little flustered and had come in a great hurry.
It seemed that something had happened.
"Team Leader, something bad has happened," Pang Wen immediately said.
Hearing this, Gu An remained calm and said, "What is it?"
Normally speaking, the First Institute was now at its zenith, so nothing should have happened.
"Shu, Junior Sister Shu Ci has been arrested," Pang Wen immediately said. "It's the people from the Hall of Law Enforcement. They arrested Junior Sister Shu Ci early this morning, saying that she was a spy sent by another sect."
Gu An was slightly surprised. Why were they arresting spies at this time?
And arresting a spy from the First Institute.
The first person Gu An thought of was Senior Sister Tang Lan.
But would they really antagonize him at this time?
Before the list came out, there was still a chance of winning if they took action, but now it would be a loss.
Even so, it would be difficult for them to obtain Chen Changfeng.
No longer thinking about these things, Gu An looked at Pang Wen and said, "Does Junior Brother think that Junior Sister Shu Ci is not a spy?"
Hearing this, Pang Wen was stunned and didn't know how to speak for a moment. After hesitating, he said:
"Once you enter the Hall of Law Enforcement, it's very difficult to come out again. Junior Sister Shu Ci has been working wholeheartedly in the First Institute these days and has not betrayed us in the slightest.
She is wholeheartedly for the Second Team and the First Institute, and hopes that the team leader can...: . Can....

Pang Wen bowed, his head almost touching the ground: "I hope the team leader can lend a hand."
Gu An looked at the person in front of him and said calmly, "You trust her quite a bit."
Pang Wen wanted to say something, but Gu An just waved his hand and said, "She was arrested by the Hall of Law Enforcement? Who arrested her?"
"I don't know, but it shouldn't be an ordinary member of the Law Enforcement, Yang Qi said that the clothes were at least at the level of Senior Brother Dugu," Pang Wen explained.
Gu An nodded and said, "When was she arrested?"
"This morning, the interrogation may have already started," Pang Wen said.
Once the interrogation started, something might happen.
If he intervened too late, the danger would greatly increase.
In fact, he knew that it was very difficult to rescue someone from the Hall of Law Enforcement.
But.
He had no choice but to come to the team leader.
"Go wait in front of the Hall of Law Enforcement," Gu An said.
Pang Wen hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded to show that he understood and didn't dare to ask more questions.
Soon, he came to the entrance of the Hall of Law Enforcement and waited quietly.
But he couldn't help but pace.
He had no idea what was happening inside.
He also didn't know why the team leader had asked him to wait at the entrance,
And in the Hall of Law Enforcement.
In a rather dark interrogation room, Shu Ci sat alone in a chair. In front of her, three people looked at her,
with indifference and calmness.
Although they hadn't done anything yet, Shu Ci was already filled with fear.
She was originally a spy, and now that she had entered, she was afraid that there was no possibility of her leaving.
She naturally knew the terror of the Hall of Law Enforcement.
Apart from the team leader, no second spy had ever walked out of here.
She would die here.
And endure inhuman treatment.
Along the way, she had naturally seen the fate of those people.
"A disciple of the Joyful Union Sect?" a fairy said calmly.
Shu Ci lowered her head and dared not speak.
"What is your purpose in coming to the Azurewood Sect?" the fairy asked again.
However, Shu Ci still lowered her head and remained silent.
The fairy asked a few more questions, but the other party did not respond in any way. Finally, the fairy closed the book and said, "It seems that Junior Sister Shu admits to being a spy. Let's see what we can do. If she has no value, then let's send Junior Sister Shu on her way."
Here, you can refute, but you can't remain silent.
Silence is an admission of guilt. If you have enough value, you will continue to be held. If you don't have enough value, you will be dealt with that day.
Silence has no effect on the Hall of Law Enforcement, it only leads to an earlier death.
Hearing this, Shu Ci was stunned.
She said in horror, "No, I'm not a spy."
"Unfortunately, Junior Sister Shu Ci spoke too late." Saying this, the fairy stood up and didn't intend to continue the interrogation,
nor did she intend to give the other party a chance.
After a pause, she continued, "I'm leaving now. If you can make me change my mind before I walk out the door,"
Tell me something that interests me, and you'll still have the right to be interrogated."
With that, the fairy stepped away.
Shu Ci racked her brains and spoke about some things concerning the Joyful Union Sect.
However, the other party did not stop.
Shu Ci instantly thought of something. Why would they suddenly come to arrest her?
It must be for the leader.
So, was it to smear the leader?
Or to obtain the identity of the leader's marriage partner?
If that's the case, then as long as she betrayed the leader, she would have a chance to survive?
In an instant, many thoughts arose in her mind.
But in a flash, she remembered the days in the First Institute, peaceful and secure.
Scenes appeared one after another.
In the past, she wasn't willing to do these tedious things.
But unknowingly, she had begun to look forward to the next day's events.
Perhaps she would meet someone she didn't dislike, and talk and get along with them.
Shu Ci felt very lucky to be able to enter the First Institute.
But she didn't expect this luck to end so quickly.
At this time, the fairy was already standing at the door.
Shu Ci didn't speak anymore.
Creak!
The door was opened from the outside.
"Junior Sister is interrogating a spy?" Du Gujing said with a smile as he stood at the door.
The fairy was slightly surprised and said, "Senior Brother Du Gu?"
Du Gujing glanced at Shu Ci inside, sighed, and said, "Fortunately, no misunderstanding occurred."
"What does Senior Brother mean?" the fairy asked in confusion.
Then, Du Gujing gave the other party a book: "Open it and take a look."
The fairy was slightly surprised.
Then, she saw the contents inside, which surprised her: "It can be like this?"
Du Gujing maintained his smile and said, "Junior Sister didn't mess around, right?"
'No, everything is done according to the sect's rules,' the fairy said.
Hearing this, Du Gujing nodded and said, "It's good to follow the rules, mainly because I'm afraid Junior Sister will mislead herself. Recently, there have been many rumors outside about the First Institute, especially about the person in charge of the First Institute, saying that he is morally corrupt and has illicit relationships with women from the Joyful Union Sect and other sects. Such rumors are endless."
"Someone is targeting his identity?" the fairy naturally understood.
"About right," Du Gujing said. "Junior Sister, don't get involved. If the people from the Law Enforcement Hall get involved for no reason, their end will be much worse than theirs."
"I understand," the fairy nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother."
After that, she looked at Shu Ci and said, "Junior Sister Shu can leave now. The matter of identity is a misunderstanding. Since Junior Sister has this identity, why didn't you say it earlier?"
Shu Ci was a little dazed. What identity did she have?
"It seems she doesn't know," the fairy said calmly. "You followed the right person."
After that, Shu Ci was confusedly sent out of the Law Enforcement Hall.
When she saw Pang Wen at the door, she was overjoyed: "Senior Brother Pang."
Pang Wen was also surprised: "Junior Sister Shu, are you alright? How did you get out?"
Hearing this, Shu Ci was a little puzzled: "Senior Brother doesn't know how I got out? Then why would you be waiting for me here?"
"I went to ask the leader, and the leader asked me to wait here," Pang Wen said truthfully.
Shu Ci hesitated for a moment, then told him about what happened inside.
"Identity?" Pang Wen was slightly surprised.
Even if he was slow, he understood the general situation.
"Is it Senior Brother? And it was already arranged in advance?" Pang Wen asked.
Shu Ci naturally thought of it too.
No wonder that Senior Sister would say that she followed the right person.
It turned out that the leader had already arranged everything.
For a moment, Shu Ci had a strange feeling, and she could understand Chen Changfeng more and more.
"Although Senior Brother doesn't pay much attention to the First Institute, he has done many things that we don't know," Pang Wen said.
Shu Ci nodded: "It seems I have to work harder to assist Senior Brother Pang."
Pang Wen manages the Second Team and the First Institute, and she has always been assisting with some matters.
Regarding Gu An's kindness, she naturally tries her best to help take care of the First Institute.
Moreover...
From today onwards, she is a true Azure Wood Sect disciple.
She no longer has to be frightened.
Soon they returned to the First Institute, but on the way back, they heard many rumors.
It was said that the person in charge of the First Institute secretly kept cauldrons, and he never let go of men, women, old, and young.
It was also said that the people of the Reincarnation lineage actually had to dedicate themselves.
Such rumors were endless.
Pang Wen and Shu Ci were angry, but they couldn't explain what kind of person the leader was. They still understood.
Back at the First Institute, they consulted Zhao Qingshan, wanting to restore the leader's reputation.
However.
The next day.
These rumors disappeared.
Because last night, the Law Enforcement Hall came out in full force.
Outer sect, inner sect, Peak Outside the Peak, and the mountain all had figures from the Law Enforcement Hall.
Not only that, but some direct disciples were also named and taken away by the Law Enforcement Hall.
It even affected a certain true disciple.
All those who were arrested maliciously spread rumors about the imperial family's marriage partner.
Even direct disciples were not spared.
Early in the morning, no one dared to spread a word anymore.
Especially since the Law Enforcement Hall was still arresting people this morning.
Those who had said relevant words were in danger.
Spirit Control Peak.
Fairy Tang Lan was mentally confused. She naturally couldn't forget those scenes from last night.
"Senior Brother," she said worriedly.
"We didn't spread it," that senior brother said calmly.
But he didn't drink his tea for a long time, which also showed that his heart was not calm.
Suddenly, rays of light began to fall.
Directly surrounding the two of them. Du Gujing looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "Senior Brother Chu, Junior Sister Tang, come with us."
"We didn't do anything," Tang Lan said. "Someone has implicated the two of you, so we have to investigate now," Du Gujing said.
Senior Brother Chu was calm:! "Okay, just to clear our name."
"Do you think they're not using their brains well?" Chu Meng looked at Gu An and said, "You were appointed by the imperial family, and the peak masters personally confirmed it. If they say you have a problem, isn't that slapping their faces?"
"If the peak masters don't want face, the imperial family still wants face."
"What do you mean by looking regretful?"
In the courtyard, Chu Meng opened her mouth while eating peanuts.
Gu An shook his head slightly and said, "Actually, this junior is also very curious about whether they will change people in the end. I didn't expect the Law Enforcement Hall to move so quickly.
It was all resolved in one night."
After a pause, Gu An said, "If I want to escape the marriage, what does Senior think is the best way to do it?"
"Are you betraying that bitch? Aren't you afraid of being hunted down by her?" Chu Meng asked curiously.
"She doesn't have many hidden lines outside. I can completely help her sell my life outside and still be Senior's subordinate," Gu An said.
"Is the princess that bad?" Chu Meng asked.
Gu An shook his head: "Senior knows better than me."
Chu Meng: "..."
"However, the marriage certificate is about to be issued, and it's a bit too late," Gu An said with emotion.
He didn't know what kind of feeling he had in his heart.
"Could it be that you've fallen in love with me and can't bear to marry someone else?" Chu Meng looked at Gu An and asked.
Gu An: "..."
How did your mind come up with that?
While Gu An was puzzled, he suddenly received a message talisman from Pang Wen.
It said that the little monk mentioned the opportunity for creation, and today is the day when the affinity is the most profound, and he can bring unprecedented changes to the First Institute.
