Go to become a god, let me marry into the sect

#194 - Give me a promotion?

Gu An steadied his breathing and looked towards the door.

He didn't know who was approaching.

However, being able to perceive it so clearly meant it probably wasn't a very strong person.

The star had completely disappeared, and no one else in the sealed land could detect it.

After observing the surroundings again and confirming there were no problems, Gu An took a deep breath and said, "Who is it?"

The other party was so obvious; it would be too fake to pretend he hadn't noticed.

“Senior Brother, it's me.” A strange fairy's voice came from outside.

Gu An opened the door and saw a fairy who looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, standing there somewhat nervously.

Her cultivation was at the Perfected Foundation Establishment stage.

Gu An didn't recognize her.

The fairy looked at Gu An and said respectfully, "Are you Senior Brother Gu An?"

Gu An looked at her carefully; she really was at the Perfected Foundation Establishment stage.

This was a bit surprising.

She wasn't someone spying on him.

Only then did he nod.

Seeing this, the fairy immediately said, "Senior Brother, I'm a new member of the Second Team. I'm here because Team Leader Hou wants to see you."

Gu An was quite surprised. "Team Leader Hou wants to see me?"

This made Gu An curious about what the other party wanted to do.

However, if the team leader wanted to see him, he couldn't refuse.

Closing the door, Gu An followed her towards Team Leader Hou's residence.

The team leaders' residences were also in the backyard, but they had independent courtyards.

The location was further back.

Arriving at the back, Gu An saw two courtyards.

One was Team Leader Song's, and the other was Team Leader Hou's.

Gu An followed the person into the courtyard on the left. When he came in, he found that there were only four people inside.

One was in the early Golden Core stage.

Two were at the Perfected Foundation Establishment stage, and one was at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

"The team leader is waiting for Senior Brother inside," the fairy who led the way said.

Gu An didn't pay attention to the four people outside and walked straight in.

The fairy who led the way didn't go in.

Gu An sensed it and didn't feel any problems.

Of course, one of those four people might have a problem, but it wasn't the time to care about that.

In the room, Gu An saw a middle-aged man with a pale face sitting in a seat, his eyes unusually bright.

"Greetings, Team Leader Hou," Gu An said respectfully.

The other party was also at the Perfected Golden Core stage, but his physical condition was extremely poor.

It seemed he wouldn't be able to do anything in the short term and could only go back to recuperate.

"The people of the Second Team are all here," Team Leader Hou said, looking at Gu An. "Besides me, there are only two left at the Golden Core stage. Our Second Team will soon have no one to use."

Gu An lowered his head and said seriously, "Following the team leader, they will grow sooner or later."

"Me?" Team Leader Hou looked at Gu An and said self-deprecatingly, "My body is not doing well. I may not be able to manage you for a few years. Moreover, after being seriously injured, some people will gradually disobey me."

"Team Leader, don't say such things," Gu An said, lowering his head.

"I have already sent a notice to the main courtyard to let you temporarily take over as team leader. I am going back to the sect to recuperate, perhaps for a year, perhaps for three years.

The Second Team will be in your hands from now on," Team Leader Hou said softly.

Hearing this, Gu An was stunned and said in disbelief, "Team Leader, absolutely not."

He didn't want to take over such a troublesome matter.

Moreover, what kind of team leader was always logging wood?

Not to mention there was a pile of messes on his hands now, making it even more troublesome.

If he wanted to log wood later, it would be much more difficult than it was now.

Especially since he was being targeted; difficult tasks would come his way.

Besides that, the team wouldn't be easy to lead.

They wouldn't obey him at all.

What if they all transferred away? How would he deal with that?

"There's no absolutely not about it. No one in the Second Team is more suitable than you," Team Leader Hou sighed.

"If I could choose, I wouldn't want to choose you either. After all, no one in the entire sect has more enemies than you.

Giving the Second Team to you will make things difficult for the Second Team in the future.

But if I don't choose you, the Second Team will not be able to survive."

"Team Leader, what virtue and ability do I have?" Gu An sighed.

"What virtue and ability?" Team Leader Hou said with a smile.

"Others are not as good as you. Whether it was the difficulties before or the targeting later, your performance was much stronger than others.

Besides, a person who can fight his way from the outer sect to the inner sect shouldn't be that simple.

Otherwise, why do you think Song Feng and the others are so nice to you?

Most of it is because they are afraid of you.

Although I don't understand where your advantages lie, they are definitely not something people like us can provoke at will.

Isn't that right?

So giving the Second Team to you will sometimes make people fearful, but more often it will be targeted.

But...

Team Leader Hou looked at Gu An and said seriously, "You shouldn't be someone who sits and waits for death."

Gu An frowned. He really had no intention of being a team leader.

"Don't rush to refuse," Team Leader Hou said, looking at Gu An. "Our team gets credit for completing tasks.

The higher the credit, the more stable you will be in the sect. Moreover, as a team leader, as long as the team is stable, you can still log wood if you like.

In addition, the team leader's salary is not just one hundred spirit stones, but two hundred.

The credit is also doubled.

If the task is completed well, in a year's time, the credit will be enough for the people from the Merit Hall to come and see you.

At that time, those who target you will have to weigh their own importance.

As far as I know, the reason why some people in the sect can't directly touch you is that they are still afraid of that knife, but that knife will be gone in at most two or three years.

What are you planning to do then, Junior Brother?"

Gu An was silent for a while.

What the other party said made some sense.

But he was still hesitating.

But soon, Team Leader Hou ended his hesitation.

Team Leader Hou coughed and said, "I am seriously injured. Now I am actively sending you up. If you go up, you can receive compensation. This is also what I applied for for you.

But if you refuse, do you think the people who are trying to make trouble for you will send you up?

There will be no compensation then."

"It seems I have no choice but to accept," Gu An said with some emotion.

Team Leader Hou nodded and said, "Yes, you didn't come here to enjoy yourself, but because someone wanted to target you, so stability is a luxury."

"Is Team Leader Hou also one of them?" Gu An still remembered that the other party had also targeted him before.

Team Leader Hou shook his head. "I just wanted to get an explanation for the people in my team. It's not a matter of who is right and who is wrong. Sometimes I have to get an explanation for them."

Gu An nodded and didn't care.

After joining the other party's team, the other party didn't make things difficult for him and even promoted him early.

In this way, the other party seemed to be good to his own people.

Unfortunately, he wasn't one of them.

The people outside probably wouldn't obey him either. It was all trouble.

"It seems you have agreed," Team Leader Hou said with a smile. "When I recover, if you want to leave, I can take over for you. If you don't want to leave, I can work under you.

Of course, you can also have someone else take over."

Gu An also breathed a sigh of relief. It would be good if he could leave.

Afterwards, everyone was called in.

There were a total of five people outside.

One Golden Core, three Perfected Foundation Establishment, and one Late Foundation Establishment.

Very weak.

"I'm going back to recuperate," Team Leader Hou said, looking at everyone. "From now on, Gu An will be your new team leader. He has enough ability to lead you through the most difficult times.

From now on, do whatever he says and don't do anything extra.

Do you understand?"

Hearing this, the others were a little incredulous, especially the one in the early Golden Core stage.

He felt that if the team leader went back to recuperate, then he should temporarily take over the team leader's position.

Why was it this person?

He had just arrived, and had previously had a falling out with the second team.

What abilities did he have?

"The position of team leader is very important, at the very least he has to show that he has the ability in this area, right?" A man in the early stage of the Golden Core realm looked at Gu An and said:

"If you want to become the team leader, we don't mind, but you have to pass our test."

Someone echoed: "That's right, the position of team leader is extremely important, he has no prestige and no experience, so there must be a test."

Gu An looked at them and said: "Then what kind of test should I accept to gain your approval?"

The man in the early stage of the Golden Core realm, Pang Wen, looked to be around thirty years old, with a well-proportioned figure and nothing particularly outstanding.

He looked at Gu An and said sternly: "As a team leader, you must at least pass three tests. We will give you three test questions, and only if you pass can you become our team leader.

If you don't pass, I hope you can withdraw yourself.

Of course, whether or not you pass the test will naturally be measured by our standards."

Gu An listened to the other party's words and nodded: "Then what are the three tests?"

Pang Wen pondered slightly and said: "To become a team leader, you must at least possess three qualities: decisiveness in handling matters,

wisdom in dealing with the world, and the courage to face many problems.

You need to complete three tasks, and if you complete them well, we will see it, and you will naturally be able to handle the position. But if you don't complete them well, I hope you don't humiliate yourself.

After all, you won't get our approval."

Hearing this, someone echoed: "That's right, only if we nod can you become the team leader."

Team Leader Hou watched all of this without speaking.

Gu An then said seriously: "Then can I start now?"

"Naturally...:.:" Pang Wen wanted to say that naturally they had to come up with the questions before he could start.

But the moment the word "naturally" fell, Gu An moved.

He took one step to come in front of Pang Wen, gathering strength in his hand.

The wrist magic weapon was activated, and began to gather power.

Then a slap fell.

Smack!

A crisp and resounding sound rang out.

Gu An's palm made contact with Pang Wen's cheek,

The other party's cheek twisted, and teeth spurted out along with fresh blood.

Then with a bang.

Pang Wen's entire person was as if struck by a giant object, heavily falling to the ground.

In his daze, his mouth was full of blood, and he took a few deep breaths before he came back to his senses.

When he looked at Gu An, there was anger in his eyes.

"You..." Before he could continue to speak, he saw Gu An take out a long knife.

Clang!

The long knife was unsheathed, and came towards him.

In an instant, Pang Wen was terrified.

Puff!

Without giving him a chance to beg for mercy, the knife directly pierced his body, and then he felt his entire person being lifted up.

With a bang, he was nailed to the wall.

Fear, worry, and dread of death made his whole body tremble.

Especially when he met Gu An's indifferent gaze, for some reason, his legs felt a little weak.

Fresh blood dripped down, touching everyone's nerves.

Afraid that the knife would fall on them.

"Don't worry, it avoided the vitals, you won't die," Gu An looked at everyone and said calmly: "I made a move after this fellow disciple confirmed the questions, am I decisive?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Finally nodding: "De... decisive."

Gu An continued to speak: "I didn't want to deal with the problem, so I dealt with the person who raised the problem, am I wise?

?"

Everyone dared to say anything: "Wi... wise."

"If you say no, I can leave you here forever, never to see the sun tomorrow, do I have the courage?" Gu An looked at them and said calmly.

Everyone's hearts shook, and some even had the idea of escaping.

But in the end, they still lowered their heads and nodded: "Courage."

With that, Gu An withdrew the long knife, and Pang Wen's entire person fell to the ground: "Then it seems I have completed the three tests."

Hearing this, a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator in the crowd immediately said: "Greetings, Team Leader Gu."

Only then did the others react, bowing in unison and saying respectfully: "Greetings, Team Leader Gu."

Gu An nodded, asking people to drag the person on the ground out together, and then go back and wait.

He would look for them if there was anything.

At this time, only Gu An and Team Leader Hou were left in the room.

Team Leader Hou looked at Gu An and said: "To be able to kill wantonly in the Outer Sect and Inner Sect and still survive, you are indeed different from others.

You don't seem to like causing trouble, but fortunately you are not afraid of trouble.

But your cultivation is a bit low, and it won't be easy in the future.

If you attract those with high cultivation, you may not be able to suppress them."

Saying this, Team Leader Hou took out a bead from his storage magic weapon: "Take this, inside are three attacks from my peak period.

If you really encounter something that can't be handled with cultivation, use this, it will have some deterrence.

If you can hold on for a while, as long as you advance to the middle stage of the Golden Core realm, your situation will be much better.

Negotiating tasks is mostly done by Golden Core cultivators, and important ones will also call on people from the Main Courtyard.

So your strength should be enough in theory."

Gu An understood, it should be enough in theory, but if he came, it would definitely not be enough.

Afterwards, Team Leader Hou continued: "This courtyard will be for you to live in, if you are a formal team leader, you can rebuild it."

Gu An said he understood, having a courtyard was indeed much more convenient.

Looking at it this way, he probably wouldn't be returning to his residence on Thousand Dust Peak often.

Then where should that tree be planted?

This courtyard, or the courtyard on Thousand Dust Peak?

It had to be planted today, and it was not certain whether there was a problem with Team Leader Hou here.

Then he still had to return to Thousand Dust Peak.

Afterwards, Team Leader Hou gave Gu An a booklet, which was a list of existing members.

Gu An simply flipped through it and found that there was actually someone here who concealed their cultivation, was it the one he discovered?

"Some people can be used, and they don't dare to rashly disobey your orders, but once they complete the task, they will be more dangerous.

How to deal with them is up to you," Team Leader Hou reminded him.

After explaining some more things, Team Leader Hou left.

Leaving the courtyard token to Gu An.

Gu An stood in the courtyard, quite emotional.

Unknowingly, he had become a team leader again.

In just three years, from the team leader of the Spirit Wood Garden, he had jumped to the team leader of the Second Team of the Back Courtyard of Peak Beyond Peak.

It could be considered a promotion, right?

After all, the cultivation requirement had been raised from Qi Refining Level 3 to the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

That afternoon, the official documents came down.

Gu An temporarily took over as the team leader of the Second Team.

He had to organize the team within three days, and then participate in tasks.

Gu An was quite emotional, but still returned to Thousand Dust Peak as soon as possible.

As soon as he came back, he saw Noodles hiding in the water.

Seeing Gu An, Noodles became excited.

It was about to spit something out of its mouth.

Seeing this, Gu An frowned.

Sure enough, under Gu An's gaze, a blue spirit sword exuding a special charm was slowly spat out from Noodles' mouth.

The sword hilt vibrated, seemingly asking for help.

Gu An's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't dare to hesitate, directly covering Noodles' mouth.

Then, in Noodles' struggle, he forcibly stuffed the sword back into Noodles' mouth.

This sword...

2

It would definitely attract its owner.

He was a little regretful, how did he raise such a spirit pet?

Let's give it away.
