After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In

Regarding the arrival of the Prince and Princess.

Gu An was somewhat concerned.

Nonetheless, he was quite curious about the royal family’s marriage alliance with the Dao Sect.

"Senior, is the royal family’s and Dao Sect’s marriage alliance going smoothly?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Meng poured himself a cup of tea and pondered, "Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be going smoothly, as the royal family initially planned for Princess An Rou.

This princess is exceptionally gifted, her beauty is unparalleled, and she is considered extraordinarily talented.

The Dao Sect should also be satisfied.

But previously, there was news that she is not actually the princess, and the real princess is the Tianyan Sect’s Saintess Miao Yin.

Saintess Miao Yin is also extraordinarily talented, with beauty that surpasses all, inherently aligned with the Dao.

Thus, the people of the royal family might have different ideas."

"Is it difficult to choose?" Gu An asked curiously, "Couldn’t they just directly ask the two princesses who is willing to marry?

If both are willing to marry, let the Dao Sect pick two people, wouldn’t that settle it?

If neither is willing, whichever benefits most over the years, that one should marry."

Chu Meng propped his cheek with one hand, absentmindedly chewing on peanuts, "You’re older, think you’re clever, huh?"

Gu An: "...."

It feels like a mockery.

However, the royal family’s interests and the entangled relationships with the major sects indeed prevent the marriage alliance from being simple.

"Speaking of which, it’s said that Saintess Miao Yin’s beauty is unparalleled. Do you want to meet her?" Chu Meng asked curiously.

Gu An was puzzled, "Why meet her?"

"To see just how beautiful a person can be," Chu Meng said.

Gu An shook his head, "The younger generation is dedicated to the Dao and has no interest in such matters."

"A person with two residences, yet claims it’s not for hiding a beauty?" Chu Meng sighed, "Another one in the attic, like a cunning rabbit with three burrows.

Although you’re older, your health isn’t too bad.

Might be criticized behind your back by those people.

But being young, you didn’t enjoy it, so why not enjoy it when you’re old?"

Gu An: "..."

You speak really offensively.

I’m old, yes, but my health isn’t precisely poor, right?

Gu An did not respond.

That’s how superiors are, filled with such filthy things.

Must I let them know my health isn’t poor?

No need.

Ultimately, I will see the heavenly light that is now beyond my sight on the path of cultivation.

Then, all biases will dissipate into smoke.

"By the way, is the Divine Monarch Hall open?" Chu Meng suddenly asked.

Gu An shook his head, "Maybe check next month."

"Did you use what the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch left behind?" Chu Meng asked while sipping tea.

"Is it the item that might enable comprehension of the Nine Chapters of Decrees?" Gu An asked.

Chu Meng nodded while sharing peanuts with Gu An, "Once you learn this, you won’t have to worry about being discovered as an imposter."

"Not yet," Gu An shook his head, "The younger generation has dull talent and needs more time."

"You already mastered the Swallowing Ghost Technique and still claim dull talent?" Chu Meng found it unbelievable.

Gu An remained silent.

That was because of being cursed, inadvertently mastering it.

He hadn’t anticipated needing a curse to learn the Swallowing Ghost Technique.

Suddenly, Gu An thought of something and said, "Senior, are you familiar with the Sky Cloud Sect?"

"Sky Cloud Sect?" Chu Meng casually replied, "It’s a secluded small sect in East Dao Ancient State, not very accomplished, just a sect trying to manipulate fortune, originally called Heavenly Fate Sect.

They consider manipulating fortune to be a form of cultivation.

Ultimately, they experienced no good fortune, only misfortune.

The more they cultivate, the more curses they carry.

Average in power, just hard to kill.

Because killing them would cause curses to enter the body, rapidly manifest.

Otherwise, there’s not much to mention."

Gu An sighed, realizing it was so, no wonder that man from back then said he was doomed.

Turns out it was the curse entering my body.

Originally, it was indeed troublesome, but with the emergence of the Swallowing Ghost Technique.

The situation changed direction.

Fate plays tricks.

Now with things as they are, Gu An no longer fretted.

The priority remains to improve oneself and then deal with matters ahead.

Like acquiring the item that can obscure the Heavenly Mechanism.

Or dealing with the royal family and the Prince.

"The Prince might arrive next month; this month, the royal family will have gone to the Dao Sect, and there will be a conclusion." Chu Meng stated.

After a pause, she continued, "If everything goes smoothly, we’ll head out around August."

Gu An mused, having about two months left.

Unsure how much improvement can be made.

It’s uncertain whether this place they’re heading to will have Spirit Trees.

"Trees are likely, if you want to chop them down, you should prepare," Chu Meng paused, "You need a sufficiently good axe."

Upon hearing this, Gu An’s eyes lit up, immediately asking, "Senior, do you have a connection?"

"Don’t you know people at the Cangmu Sect?" Chu Meng asked casually.

Gu An thought a bit and did know people.

With his current status and having enough Spirit Stones, he should be able to forge a fairly good axe.

But fairly good might not suffice.

He should find good materials.

I wonder what kind of wood he will chop in the Beihu Snow Continent.

Being sufficiently sharp is actually a lesser priority.

The Cangmu Sect excels at forging axes tailored to Spirit Trees.

With more feedback, he easily receives Warm Currents.

Yet when faced with trees that can’t be chopped, being sharp is enough.

Bearing in mind the primary goal remains being able to chop.

Otherwise, even chopping a Heavenly Candle Tree would damage all axes, without a trace of gain.

"Then what sort of materials should I seek?" Gu An asked, puzzled.

"I have a list here, follow it when searching," Chu Meng handed the list to Gu An.

"Can’t Senior just give it directly?"

"I can, but I don’t want to."

"The younger generation can buy it."

"I won’t sell it either, I’m telling you that you’re compelled to face challenges."

Chu Meng patted her hand after eating peanuts and stood up, "This visit mainly covered these things, and I’ve informed you of the challenges.
