#246 - You are fifty, I am afraid it is not possible
Gu Anben sat in his room, reading, and turned his gaze towards the door when he heard the sound.
He waited for the person outside to push the door open.
During this time, he placed the small tree he had collected earlier into his storage treasure.
Perhaps he would need to take it out later.
Taking it out from the storage treasure was fine, but taking it out from the Void Star would expose the Twelve Stars of Suichen.
It wouldn't be worth it.
As for hiding it.
He didn't have such thoughts, he couldn't control it, and it would be difficult to sell.
It was better to exchange it for something useful.
After all, a tree that couldn't be felled only had exchange value to him.
After that, he waited.
In just a few breaths, the door creaked open.
Chu Meng walked in, sighing as she walked: "I wanted to feed Noodles some food, but I didn't expect it to die."
She wasn't surprised to see Gu An, she just said: "You've become famous in the sect again recently, not only in our sect, but other sects have also heard of your deeds.
After all, for your sake, Cangmu Sect directly put pressure on Linghua Valley."
As she spoke, she sat down opposite Gu An, took out some food, including peanuts.
This time she learned to be smart and asked Gu An to pour tea before eating.
The latter was quite helpless, but he still poured a cup of tea.
"What is Senior here for this time?" Gu An asked, putting down the teapot.
"Do you know why you can't make progress?" Chu Meng asked.
"Because Senior's superior is my superior," Gu An replied.
Chu Meng glanced at Gu An and said, "Eat your food, shut up if I don't tell you to speak."
Gu An didn't mind, and picked up his chopsticks to eat.
He found that it should have been made by the Second Maid this time, and it wasn't as delicious.
But it was acceptable.
Mainly because the ingredients were better.
Chu Meng ate peanuts and said:
"What did you encounter in Linghua Valley?"
Gu An thought for a moment and said truthfully: "A forest that can be extended, they said that the forest can distort space and expand the barrier."
As he spoke, Gu An told everything that had happened.
Of course, he only talked about the past.
For example, discovering the forest, felling trees, and then digging holes.
Finally, he was rescued.
He didn't mention anything about killing people.
"Sounds like the Black Night Forest," Chu Meng looked at Gu An and said, "Did you get anything?"
Hearing this, Gu An took out the sapling while eating, and said casually: "I got this thing, I didn't go in the door, so I don't know what's inside.
Later, their people came, and there was no chance to go in."
"You brought this thing out?" Chu Meng looked at the sapling in surprise and said: "This is a good thing, the core of the Black Night Forest barrier, using this thing, coupled with formations and various spiritual trees, can form a powerful barrier.
Moreover, inside the barrier, the spiritual energy will gather more and more, which is also of great benefit to cultivation.
You brought it back?"
Gu An looked at the tree, slightly surprised.
Was this thing so good?
But he didn't know formations, and he didn't know how to cooperate with spiritual trees.
So, he looked at Chu Meng: "Can I hand it in?"
Chu Meng was a little surprised: "Hand it in to whom?"
"Hand it in to Senior," Gu An replied.
"Me? You want to hand it in to that woman, right? Are you so good to her?" Chu Meng sighed: "I've already said, she can't possibly like you, why be so obsessed?
Although you are a little old and a little impulsive.
And you are quite capable of causing trouble.
But you are at least fifty years old, you should have your own pride.
That woman is not worth you hollowing out your mind to please her like this.
In the end, you will have nothing."
Gu An:
I want to exchange it for other good things.
Can you wash your brain?
"Then can it be handed in as a task?" Gu An asked.
"Task?" Chu Meng was stunned for a moment, and said: "By the way, have you completed your task?"
Gu An was quite wrong, did I have a task?
After thinking for a moment, there really was.
I forgot all about it.
"You forgot all about it?" Chu Meng said in disbelief:
"You took the task assigned by your superior as a trivial matter?
I worked so hard to bring you food and help you improve.
Is this how you repay me?"
As she spoke, she stood up and moved the dishes in front of Gu An to her side one by one.
Gu An was slightly embarrassed: "Naturally, I remember, but I have no clue."
Chu Meng ate peanuts and said: "You disappoint me too much, no wonder you are being given a hard time.
Sometimes I even think I'm petty, but I didn't expect you to deserve it.
Wait for me to continue giving you a hard time."
Gu An was silent.
Didn't you say there was no punishment?
After that, Chu Meng continued:
"But this thing can't be given to that woman."
"Why?" Gu An asked curiously.
"Because many people have seen that forest, and they will definitely know the situation of the forest.
This small tree will naturally be discovered.
The people from the Enforcement Hall will draw conclusions from the interrogation, and the people from Linghua Valley will also find anomalies at the scene.
So someone will definitely be watching this small tree later," Chu Meng replied seriously.
Gu An was slightly surprised.
He thought he had done everything perfectly.
Unexpectedly, everyone knew this forest, which meant that they all knew that the core was probably taken by him Fortunately, he didn't want to keep this thing.
"So, if this thing gets into that woman's hands, then it means you are her person.
This is very unfavorable to you," Chu Meng replied.
Gu An nodded: "Then I'll hand it over to the Merit Hall."
"You're really willing to give it up," Chu Meng sighed quite a bit: "You don't want to keep this tree?"
"It's too small," Gu An sighed: "It can't be felled."
Chu Meng was silent.
"But although the Black Night Forest is useful, its origin is not simple at all," Chu Meng looked at Gu An seriously and said: "Don't look at that small tree, it can only be formed after destroying at least ten cities, it is said that some demon sects like to condense this thing the most.
It's just that it was lost many years ago.
So the sudden appearance of this tree is considered precious.
Linghua Sect may not be willing to give up.
You may be in trouble later.
But it's okay, you still have me as your superior.
When no one protects you, I will always stand behind you and give you a hand."
Gu An was quite moved when he heard this, and then looked at the state.
Deep in charm.
Gu An sighed: "Senior, next time you say this kind of thing, can you turn off the charm?"
Chu Meng looked at Gu An and snorted: "I wouldn't be surprised if you died alone, there is absolutely no one in this world who likes you."
Gu An said calmly: "That's good too."
"That way you can safely hide your beauty in a golden house, or go to the attic, right?" Chu Meng shook her head and said: "You are fifty years old, and you are not afraid of being laughed at by the fairies in the attic for being physically weak.
If it's a Taoist companion, she will at most express her dissatisfaction at night.
But if you are physically weak and the fairies in the attic know about it.
Then the whole attic will know.
When everyone sees you, they will whisper.
They will say, look, it's this person, it's good to be pointed at by him, it ends in ten breaths.
Making money is fast."
As she spoke, Chu Meng also raised her hand to cover her mouth, pretending to speak softly.
Gu An: "Your brain is not only dirty, but also vicious."
"This junior is wholeheartedly devoted to the Dao and has no such thoughts," Gu An said in a measured tone.
Chu Meng didn't dwell on it and instead said, "Also, I inquired a bit.
Behind that door exists a weakened demon who gives those who enter some cultivation methods, techniques, and other things.
Then, he leaves a mark on each person, which absorbs their blood energy for half a year, contributing to his escape.
Now, he is likely locked up by the Spirit Flower Valley.
Perhaps this will become a reason to take back the sapling, as they can easily accuse you of colluding with the demon race.
Anyway, be careful recently."
Gu An nodded and thanked her.
Although Chu Meng, as a superior, had a somewhat dirty mind, she did do quite a lot.
"Oh right, you're fifty years old, practically a little old man," Chu Meng said, taking out three spirit stones from her storage treasure. "These three spirit stones are for you to buy something you like to eat.
This is care from your superior."
Gu An accepted the three spirit stones and asked, "Why three?"
"Originally it was three hundred, but I didn't like what you said just now, so it became three," Chu Meng said seriously. "Remember to speak nicely next time you turn sixty."
Gu An was silent.
However, Chu Meng didn't rush to leave but chatted about some rumors about him in the sect.
Saying that he is now valued by the Hall of Merit.
And is thriving.
However, because the Hall of Merit is too high-profile, many people are already dissatisfied.
But no one dares to act rashly.
However, minor troubles may occur.
Because the Hall of Merit won't manage minor troubles.
So you still need to be careful.
Also, the matter regarding Si Wuye is coming to an end.
The Hall of Law Enforcement might not pay attention to him anymore.
Once the Hall of Law Enforcement stops paying attention, it almost means that it's unrelated to Si Wuye's death.
At that time, there will be more people trying to win him over.
In some places, recruiting people uphill will not only lead to isolation.
But even be targeted.
"That Zuo Youyan from back then was like that, but he didn't yield and even confronted them head-on.
In the end, he ended up defecting," Chu Meng said seriously.
Seeming to be reminding him not to mess around.
Gu An naturally wouldn't mess around.
Before, his actions were all mission-related.
And not really his own doing.
"Also, a direct disciple of Thousand Dust Peak died, but there's a clue: he seemed to have a unique secret technique.
It's called 'Drawing the Earth as a Prison.' It's said he found it in the ruins of some great power. If you encounter this person, they're likely the murderer.
Be careful. Those who disguise themselves as Zuo Youyan are all people who can't be seen in the light of day," Chu Meng reminded him.
Gu An didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Could he be considered someone who couldn't be seen in the light of day?
He probably was.
After all, he became that woman's hidden agent.
But the other party didn't seem to want anyone to know of his existence at all.
They couldn't directly help, nor could they have any contact.
That was fine too; he would be much safer.
Afterward, Chu Meng left with her peanuts.
Gu An came to the courtyard and saw the three incense sticks in front of the divine tree, not understanding what the other party was doing.
They insisted on recovering in this way.
"Big Brother, you're back?" Fatty Tiger appeared beside the tree and asked.
Gu An looked at the Blood Demon Divine Lord and remained silent.
Why did the Blood Demon Divine Lord of a generation have to be like this?
Afterward, he asked if anything had happened recently.
He said that some people had been observing outside and even wanted to destroy it.
Fortunately, they didn't act.
Also, Nangong Qiyue said she wanted to see him.
"When will she meet?" Gu An asked.
"She didn't say," the Blood Demon Divine Lord replied.
"Has she seen Noodles?" Gu An asked again.
"No," the Blood Demon Divine Lord replied.
Hearing this, Gu An breathed a sigh of relief.
That was good.
It would be bad if she recognized Noodles.
However, Noodles only seemed to appear when he and Chu Meng were present.
The Blood Demon Divine Lord was a tree, so it didn't avoid them.
Gu An nodded, not paying it much mind.
Since she didn't say when, he wasn't in a hurry either.
Subsequently, he left on his sword, heading to the Hall of Merit.
Since Chu Meng said so, he should hand over the things as soon as possible.
It would be a bit awkward to hand them over after the other party came to ask.
Also, Spirit Flower Valley would probably come knocking soon.
That would also be a troublesome matter.
However, if he handed everything over, it should have nothing to do with him.
A moment later.
Gu An arrived at the Hall of Merit.
He looked for the receptionist fairy.
"Senior Brother Mei?" The receptionist fairy was slightly surprised and said, "Senior Brother Mei isn't easy to see. Can you tell me Senior Brother's name?"
"Gu An," Gu An replied.
Hearing this, the receptionist fairy was slightly surprised.
She secretly sized up the person before her and said, "I'll go notify Senior Brother Mei."
After some time, Gu An saw Mei Jianghe.
He was also quite surprised: "Why has Junior Brother Gu come?"
He actually didn't want to see Gu An.
Why?
Because he was worried that Gu An would want to exchange for merit.
He never dreamed that after Gu An was on the list, there would be so many things happening.
It really made their Hall of Merit show its divine power.
The effect was remarkable; the people of the sect became diligent in doing tasks.
Everyone wanted to get on the list.
But if ordinary people got on the list, nothing might happen for a hundred years.
But Gu An was different.
Something happened to him every now and then.
It was really hard to understand why an inner disciple would have so many things happening.
What a talent.
It would be a shame if he came off the list like this.
The mission merit list could not be faked.
If it was discovered, people would die.
Soon, Gu An was invited in, to the same simple room as before.
"Junior Brother has encountered many things recently, fortunately without any accidents," Mei Jianghe said with a smile.
Hearing this, Gu An was quite grateful and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother. Without you, I wouldn't be so relaxed.
Mei Jianghe laughed and said, "Junior Brother is being too serious. Being on the list still has its advantages. If it's not necessary, Junior Brother doesn't need to be in too much of a hurry."
He originally wanted to chat casually about recent events and then send him away when the time was right.
But if the other party wanted to exchange, he couldn't stop him.
That would be a violation of the rules.
Gu An was slightly puzzled: "Senior Brother misunderstood."
"Not exchanging?" Mei Jianghe was pleasantly surprised.
Gu An nodded.
With that, Mei Jianghe beamed and said, "Then tell me, Junior Brother, what did you come here to do this time?"
Gu An took out the sapling, looked at the person before him, and said, "I'm here to hand over this thing."
Mei Jianghe looked at the tree and frowned: "What kind of tree is this?"
He didn't recognize it.
Gu An then recounted the events in the cave.
Hearing this, Mei Jianghe was so frightened that he stood up directly: "This is the core object of the Black Night Barrier?"
"It should be, right? I'm not too sure," Gu An pretended to be ignorant.
Mei Jianghe looked at Gu An, somewhat in disbelief, and said:
"Junior Brother, are you trying to become the top of the list?"
If he wasn't mistaken, this was used to set up the sect's great protective array.
