199: Chapter 191: Chop the Divine Tree Just Like That?
Watching the striking figure, coupled with the somewhat sorrowful demeanor of the person before him.
Gu An immediately assessed the status.
No Charming Technique.
But compared to Chu Meng’s clumsy Charming Technique, it was much more potent.
No wonder this person could make many fellow sect members bow down.
This was a waist made to cut down people.
Not such an outstanding appearance, but rather more alluring.
Because usually, exceedingly beautiful people tend to make others feel they are out of reach.
The person before him, it seemed, could easily succeed if they wished.
Then fall into a trap.
For this body, many would still observe her even if they knew she wasn’t from their Sect.
As long as she did nothing too outrageous, people would tolerate her.
Even if a man not fond of female charms appeared.
Someone would say to keep her for use, perhaps for monitoring.
For instance, secretly observing under the pretext of confirming her intentions.
Some treasures are only known to others.
Then the man not fond of female charms should also keep her.
Now Gu An was curious whether Leader Hou had a relationship with this person.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t apparent.
Soon, Gu An regained his composure and calmly said to the person before him, “There is a market within the Sect, and Qingmu City also has shops, but whether they have something suitable for junior sister, I do not know.”
Hearing this, Shu Ci put down the clothes, smiling, “Thank you, senior brother.
Whatever task you have in the future, just give it to me, I will complete it with all my heart.”
Saying so, the person excitedly turned around and bounced away.
Without any entanglement or delay.
Gu An watched her go, his heart unmoved.
Turned around and headed back to his dwelling.
But he hadn’t walked two steps when he saw Chu Meng excitedly watching him while eating peanuts.
As if watching something very interesting.
Then Gu An heard Chu Meng chuckle: “So you like this type.”
Gu An looked at him and asked, “What type?”
Looking at Chu Meng, Gu An mainly wanted to probe his cultivation.
To discern any traces from his understanding of Qi.
However…
No use.
How could it be possible?
His cultivation can’t be faster than mine, right?
Unless he has something similar to me.
Otherwise, why can I still not see through his cultivation?
Is it well-hidden, or has he surpassed me?
Gu An couldn’t be sure.
“It’s what you just saw, giving you a little temptation, stirring your eager heart, then playing dark joint games with you, exciting.” Chu Meng earnestly said:
“She’s not bad actually, better figure than Ren Shan, and more adept than Ren Shan.
More tempting and thrilling than those in the building.
But you are of certain age, can you handle such stimulation?
I fear you might suddenly die.”
Gu An: “…”
Did you leave your brain at home today?
“My heart strives for the True Dao,” Gu An walked towards the courtyard.
Chu Meng followed, eating peanuts, “Isn’t Dual Cultivation also part of the Dao?
With such a beauty, don’t you have any desires in your heart?”
Gu An turned back to look at Chu Meng and said, “A beauty is but a skeleton clad in flesh, no matter how beautiful, strip away the skin and it’s just a skeleton.
I see beauty as bone, thus I harbor no desires; I see bone as beauty, thus I harbor no fear.
Without desires and without fear, the Dao can be achieved.”
Chu Meng sat down at a table inside, laying out several dishes:
“Can you see that vixen with no desires and no fear?”
Gu An: “…”
Wait until my cultivation is higher, then I will have no desires and fears.
“Look at your expression, you’re obviously still fixated on that vixen,” Chu Meng shook his head and sighed, “No hope for the Great Dao, why did you have to like that vixen?”
Gu An didn’t want to engage in these irresponsible exchanges with his superior, “Senior, why are you here?”
“Bringing you food, where’s my tea?” Chu Meng looked around asking.
Gu An said, “Haven’t bought it.”
I had some before, then kept it at my dwelling, now it’s gone.
Chu Meng’s expression darkened, moved the meat to her side, giving Gu An a dish of cold dishes, “Eat some cold dishes then.
You completely disregard what your superior says.
We are a collective, we need to be united and progressive.
This makes it very difficult for me, when can your consciousness catch up?”
Gu An didn’t respond, continuing to eat the cold dishes.
I must say the dishes this time are tastier than last.
“Let’s talk about the task, the matter with the Blood Refining Sect is almost concluded, did you gain anything?” Chu Meng asked while munching on peanuts.
Gu An thought for a moment and said, “I found two spies.”
“That’s impressive!
Who?
I’ll investigate.” Chu Meng became somewhat interested, “See what can be found, and let those people evaluate your reward.”
Gu An fell silent.
Chu Meng became curious, “What’s wrong?”
“They’re already dead,” Gu An said helplessly.
Chu Meng rolled her eyes, “Dead, how can I investigate?
You’ll get some credit but not much, perhaps ten to twenty Spirit Stones.”
“But I know their purpose,” Gu An said.
Chu Meng’s interest was piqued again, “Quick, tell me.”
“I heard it’s already succeeded, knowing now is too late.”
“…”
“But I know where that thing is.”
“…”
Chu Meng took a deep breath, “Have you gotten old, is your brain not working well?
Can you just say it all at once?”
Gu An wasn’t bothered, just said, “It’s a tree, said to be a tree that could let the Blood Refining Sect rise, offering unfathomable advantages for Blood Refining and Blood Transformation.”
Hearing this, Chu Meng thought for a moment, “Evergreen Tree?”
Gu An thought for a moment and said, “Shouldn’t be, its leaves are all withered, turning red.”
“You’ve seen that tree?” Chu Meng said incredulously, “You couldn’t have discovered them, watched them get the thing, killed them, and then played the role of a cuckoo bird, right?”
Gu An shook his head, “Junior isn’t that kind of person, I don’t have such a ruthless heart.”
It was just a coincidence.
Hearing this, Chu Meng nodded, “That I believe.”
