After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In Chapter 22 - 22 22 The Dog in Manager Chen's Eyes

22: Chapter 22: The Dog in Manager Chen’s Eyes 22: Chapter 22: The Dog in Manager Chen’s Eyes Inside the house, there was only a single candle alight.

Originally, magic could be used to make the room brighter.

But Gu An chose not to.

For fear of startling the visiting guest.

Moreover, the array in this place might lose so of its effectiveness tonight, making it easier for outsiders to co in.

This location is just a residence in the collective area.

For soone with a motive, targeting a specific courtyard isn’t difficult.

The person in charge can receive Spirit Stones from Gu An to facilitate their entrance.

Naturally, they can collect Spirit Stones from others as well, and open the way for them.

After a mont of silence in the room, Chu ng asked curiously:

“If soone is targeting you, they must know your cultivation, so are you confident?”

Gu An shook his head: “Not really confident.”

He wasn’t lacking confidence in the imminent visitor, but rather in Manager Chen.

If he concealed his cultivation, and if the other party did the sa, then it would truly be falling into a trap.

Hesitating, he asked curiously: “Senior, do you know how to see through soone concealing their cultivation?”

“How to see through?” laughed Chu ng.

“You’re concealing your cultivation right now, so you tell how to see through it?”

Seeing Gu An’s confusion, Chu ng continued: “Concealing cultivation is nothing but two thods; one is covering it up with magic, and the other is controlling Spiritual Energy.

The latter is relatively more sophisticated, but also easier to detect.

The threshold is low, the ceiling is high, but it’s hard to improve.

With higher cultivation, a lot of things improve as well, so people with high cultivation can sense your Spiritual Energy.

And with magic cover-up, it depends on the level of the magic.

But most magic cover-ups work within the sa major realm.

For instance, Qi Refinent for Qi Refinent, Foundation Establishnt for Foundation Establishnt.”

With a sigh, Gu An realized it was impossible to tell if Manager Chen was concealing his cultivation.

But he wanted to know if Manager Chen could see through his own.

It seed he could not, but what if it was all an act?

Still, it was best to be cautious.

Gu An sat in the living room, chatting intermittently with Chu ng.

Suddenly, he heard a noise.

The array had dissipated sowhat.

But the soundproofing and Qi-sealing array were still in place.

It seed that those in the shadows were also worried about making too much noise and alerting others.

“The guest has arrived,” said Gu An with a smile.

“Are you really able to handle it?” Chu ng remained doubtful.

At this mont, sounds could be heard from the backyard; soone was digging.

Gu An and Chu ng walked towards the backyard.

The house was not large, and in a few steps, the backyard ca into view.

Two n, hiding their faces, were digging with their weapons, and beside them lay a corpse.

Two Third Levels of Qi Refining.

Upon confirming their cultivation, Gu An breathed a sigh of relief.

These two were most likely not concealing their cultivation like himself.

Ever since learning about Lu Ruan’s concealed cultivation, he had been worried that others were doing the sa.

Noticing that the two n had yet to detect him, Gu An kindly reminded them: “Gentlen, why not use the front door?”

Their sudden presence startled the two n.

But as they turned their heads, a sudden gust of wind blew past.

Gu An had made his move.

Hundred Steps Chasing Wind.

He shot forth like a whirlwind.

Bang!

As the two n were blinded by the wind and unable to see ahead, one of them felt sothing hit his body.

Then, a hand grasped his neck and lifted him up.

The choking sensation filled him with panic.

Not only that, but he felt as if his neck was about to be crushed.

“Senior…”

Crack!

Before the other could finish speaking, his neck suddenly went limp.

The strike was lethal.

“You dare!”

The man beside reacted, forming a Sword technique and attacking the person in front of him.

But as the other’s sword thrust forward, Gu An dodged to the side, already having discarded the man in his grip.

His free hand found an opening and seized the sword-wielding man’s wrist, followed by a swift twist.

Crack!

The masked man’s arm broke on the spot.

The excruciating pain made him cry out.

“We are from the Chen Family, if you kill us, the Chen Family won’t let you off,” the masked man shouted loudly.

“And if you’re dead, then no one would know it was , right?” Gu An kindly reminded.

The masked man wanted to say sothing else, but with horror, he found that the fist of the person before him had already arrived.

That explosive fist made him want to beg for rcy.

However, there was no chance.

Mountain Opening Fist ca crashing down.

Boom!

The masked man’s face contorted.

Before the opponent could be sent flying, Gu An forcefully pulled him back.

He then grabbed the other’s head with one hand and pressed it down hard.

Bang!

The head collided with the ground, embedding into it.

Thus, the fight ended.

Gu An took a breath and said, “That was not easy to deal with, I nearly got hurt.”

The opponent’s sword was very fast; had he not dodged in ti, he might have actually been hit.

Standing to the side, Chu ng was shocked.

Two at the Third Level of Qi Refining were killed in the blink of an eye.

And was that wind just now Hundred Steps Chasing Wind?

How long has it been and he’s nearing Great Success?

Also…

Looking at the two lifeless bodies, Chu ng realized that the person before her was even more ruthless than she had anticipated.

She wondered if becoming that woman’s secret agent ant becoming this ruthless.

After collecting the two swords, Gu An felt sowhat regretful.

These were two ordinary Spirit Swords, not worth much money.

But there should be a few Spirit Stones.

A search yielded nothing more.

It was unclear whether the two did not carry much or were simply destitute.

He dug a hole and threw the three bodies into it, then casually buried them.

“The people who ca this ti weren’t strong, and you could handle them, but there’s no ti left, the people behind can’t wait.

Tomorrow they will definitely send stronger people.

Moreover, they might not need evidence and just co straight for an arrest,” Chu ng said with a smile:

“So even if you’ve killed people, you can’t escape your fate.”

The situation of the person in front of her was indeed not good.

Of the three who ca, although Lu Ruan had the advantage, it was not a one-man decision.

And for sure, other eyes from the Sect were watching, and without “reasonable excuses,” trouble was bound to happen.

Gu An’s advantage now was that he had the qualification to fairly compete with other “suspects.”

Gu An did not take Chu ng’s words to heart and continued digging the ground.

After a mont, he excavated a body.

He wrapped it in a sack and walked out.

“Where are you going?” Chu ng asked, puzzled.

“To end this matter,” Gu An replied without turning his head and left.

This left Chu ng sowhat perplexed.

How was he going to end it?

anwhile, Manager Chen was sitting in the room, waiting for a response.

With news, he could go there first thing tomorrow.

He actually appreciated Gu An.

“He’s a waste yet obedient; truly a qualified dog.

I’ve gained quite a bit over the years, all thanks to this dog,” Manager Chen said with a self-mocking laugh:

“It’s a pity, such a long-kept dog still has to be killed.

Reluctantly so, but fortunately, there are many dogs; I can keep another one.”

Those in the Spirit Tree Garden were all his dogs.

Picking a leading dog from them was easy.

If any were disobedient, they’d be replaced.

No big deal.

Thump!

A noise ca from outside.

Manager Chen frowned.

Had the errand people co back?

I’d be happy if the job is done, but I don’t like such a commotion.
