24: Chapter 24 The Results Are Out 24: Chapter 24 The Results Are Out Manager Chen is dead.

Shang Yundong’s body was also found.

The only person related was Gu An, so the truth lies solely in the mouth of the only survivor.

Gu An inford Duanmu Qing and the two others that ever since becoming the team leader, he had discovered discrepancies with Manager Chen.

It seed that the two were at odds due to differing stances and had so disputes.

One night when he went out, he happened to see Leader Shang and then saw him entering Manager Chen’s residence.

After which, he never ca out again.

“Why didn’t you tell us before?” Duanmu Qing asked.

“At that ti, I wasn’t sure if the seniors truly intended to handle the matter.

If not, I would have been in danger,” Gu An said with a sigh, bowing his head.

“But with the seven days coming to an end, Manager Chen sought out, hoping to pin the murder on .

That’s when we had a conflict.”

“So you killed him?” Duanmu Qing asked.

“An accident,” Gu An replied, his head still lowered.

Lu Ruan frowned: “Go do your tasks first.

You’ll be inford of the final decision today.”

Gu An nodded.

He then proceeded to the Spirit Tree Garden.

Watching him leave, Duanmu Qing said, “What do you think?”

“We really want to resolve this, but the death of an Outer Disciple is indeed troubleso,” the man who hadn’t spoken until now said.

Lu Ruan’s frown deepened:

“His strength is satisfactory, but he’s a bit too clever for his own good.

It would have been simple to incapacitate seriously, yet he insists on killing.

He thinks that’s the best way to handle it.”

Duanmu Qing said with a smile, “Of course, these Wild Cultivators who act on their own always think the dead can’t speak, and then everything said can be in his favor.”

Lu Ruan sighed, “It’s sowhat disappointing.

If he continues like this, he won’t get far.”

“Whether he gets far is not important; what matters is handling the matter at hand.

I don’t care what you all think, I intend to report this incident exactly as it happened to the Sect.

It’s their decision whether to intervene,” the young man said.

Hearing that, Lu Ruan looked at him coldly, “Just rember to report it exactly as it happened.”

Duanmu Qing then said, “Write it, I’ll review it, and then we’ll submit it.”

Before officially beginning to log at the Spirit Tree Garden, Gu An went back once.

He changed his clothes and then proceeded to log.

Chu ng was sowhat surprised to see him and asked if everything had been handled.

Gu An nodded.

She asked what the resolution was.

Gu An ignored the question, as there was no ti to spare—he had to get to the Spirit Tree Garden.

Otherwise, he would be late.

Upon arrival, Gu An saw that Qiu Hua and the others had already arrived.

“Boss, it seems the seven days are almost up; do you think Manager Chen has any news about Leader Shang?” Qiu Hua asked.

The two others looked on.

Gu An did not answer but simply stated, “We should quietly wait for the outco.”

Qiu Hua voiced her worries, “Boss, do you think if they can’t find anyone, they’ll pin the cri on soone?”

Her words were suggestive.

Feigning ignorance, Gu An said, “I’m off to log; you all should go about your duties as well.

It would not be good to be seen shirking work.”

For a mont, Qiu Hua beca anxious.

Finally, while the others went about their tasks, she ran over and whispered, “Boss, you should run away quick.

I’ve analyzed it, and Manager Chen might bla you for the cri.”

“Go back and attend to your duties,” Gu An said as he swung his axe to cut wood, casually adding,

“I’m clear about it, don’t worry.”

Seeing Gu An’s response, Qiu Hua felt there was no way to continue pressing the matter.

She could only wait.

During the logging, Gu An encountered the man who had tried to ingratiate himself with him before, apologized, saying, “The delivery of Vajra Wood is a bit different this ti; you won’t get the chance.”

The man smiled, “I understand, with the big incident in the Spirit Tree Garden, things are indeed different.”

He paused, then also hinted, “I heard that it might not be easy for Leader Gu to stay?”

Gu An laughed, “Get on with your work.

You’ll know what’s going to happen very soon.”

The man was a bit puzzled, but he knew Gu An was soone who managed things well.

How else could a Third Level Qi Refiner hold the position of leader for so many years?

It seems he must have found himself a powerful backer.

Zhao Ying and Qiu Hua, among others, were discussing the approaching end of the seven days.

“Is the boss going to be in big trouble?” Zhao Ying asked.

Their knowledge was solely because Yang Shi had told them.

He often hinted that Gu An had offended Manager Chen and was dood.

“There’s nothing we can do about it; the boss has indeed been too arrogant lately,” Shen Shanhe comnted.

Zhao Ying nodded in agreent, “Looks like we’ll have to change leaders again; I hope the boss learns a lesson to avoid bigger misfortunes in the future.”

Qiu Hua furrowed her brow, wanting to explain but not knowing how.

The two seed to take pleasure in others’ misfortunes.

That afternoon, as evening approached.

Duanmu Qing and the other two finally arrived.

He called the Supervisor over, as he had an announcent to make.

Gu An and the other three were the first to arrive.

Shen Shanhe and the other two seed to understand what was about to happen.

Qiu Hua was a bit anxious and hesitant to speak.

The other two seed to enjoy the spectacle.

Gu An maintained a composed expression; he was aware the matter concerned him, but what their final verdict would be was still uncertain.

Escape was difficult.

Duanmu Qing’s cultivation was unfathomable.

The other two seed to be at the Fifth Layer of Qi Refining, but both might have hidden their true cultivation.

Thus, standing down was the best option.

He needed to beco stronger quickly, so his life and death wouldn’t be in others’ hands.

“We have found your Leader Shang’s remains,” Duanmu Qing continued, observing their varying expressions:

“Your Manager Chen killed him, and he was executed today.

By none other than your forr leader, Gu An.”

These brief words stirred waves in the hearts of Qiu Hua and the others.

They assud that after Leader Shang was killed, Manager Chen would fra Gu An, never expecting Manager Chen to die, or that a mysterious strong figure would erge.

Suddenly, this enigmatic strong figure turned out to be Gu An.

They were flabbergasted.

Did Gu An have such strength?

“The Sect does not wish to delve deeper, so you are given two choices,” Duanmu Qing looked at Gu An.

The latter understood that the lack of further inquiry was because these people’s reports were not biased towards Manager Chen.

This was the slight advantage of being an undercover agent.

Having a certain asure of “fairness.”

“What are they?” Gu An asked.

“Firstly, Manager Chen’s death leaves the Spirit Tree Garden without a manager.

If you wish to stay, you may take up the position of manager,” Duanmu Qing said.

Gu An pondered for a mont, then respectfully asked, “What’s the second option?”

“The second is to report to the Outer Sect and beco an Outer Disciple,” Duanmu Qing smiled, “There are no other options.

You must give an answer by tomorrow.”

Choosing between becoming a manager and an Outer Disciple.

This left Gu An sowhat undecided.

Just as he was about to inquire about the responsibilities of an Outer Disciple, Duanmu Qing and the others had already left.

From their gazes, Gu An knew they did not care for his decision.

Even Lu Ruan seed sowhat disappointed.

He didn’t know what she was disappointed about.

But it wasn’t important; there likely wouldn’t be much interaction between him and her.

Even if they did connect, they might not see each other for years.

Now, the pressing matter was to make a choice.
