Chapter 779 - 467: Is It Time for Marriage Already?
In the end, Gu An did not send anything out.
The spy needed to be handled personally, and the people from Jiutian Temple had to be dealt with independently as well.
Even the Jade Ruyi had to be sealed by himself.
Furthermore, he had to deal with Dongfang Weihuo on his own.
Chu Meng only had one thing to say: "If something goes wrong, I’ll fish you out."
This should have been touching.
But recalling that her encouragement last time was merely verbal, it made him suspect whether this time would be the same.
But there was no other choice.
After all, if he didn’t handle it, the disaster would ultimately fall upon him.
Therefore, he could only choose to trust.
"You’re getting married next month, why hasn’t there been any change here?" Chu Meng asked, looking around inside and out.
Gu An, eating peanuts, replied: "I’ll let Pang Wen and the others handle the arrangements in a few days; they aren’t busy with any tasks lately, so they’re just idling anyway."
In the First Institute, there are so many people that they could be let out for some fresh air.
Chu Meng sat across from Gu An, curiously asking: "You’re about to marry the beautiful superior, how do you feel?
Do you feel like this life is worth it?"
Gu An: "..."
Shouldn’t this be finished?
"What do seniors feel?" Gu An asked curiously.
Getting married doesn’t mean disappearing; the superior is entering the situation open-heartedly, but there must still be different thoughts, right?
"There isn’t any special feeling, just that it seems right," Chu Meng pondered and said, "If I had to say the biggest feeling, it would be about only being the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch’s woman, which is somewhat a loss."
Gu An: "...."
Do you still remember that I took your Nine Heavens Divine Monarch?
"It was I who failed the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch; if it were in the senior’s hands, he would have already made a name for himself in the world." Gu An said.
"That’s not necessarily the case; in some days, even the real Nine Heavens Divine Monarch may not surpass you," Chu Meng shook her head and sighed, "After all, even when filling traces, he wouldn’t dare let the Eye of Heavenly Punishment burn."
Upon hearing this, Gu An suddenly remembered the recent matter: "What does Dongfang Weihuo mean by the term Hall Master?"
"The Sea-born Heavenly Court feared the Hall Master of that year, but only feared the Hall Master alone," Chu Meng casually explained, "Although the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch is powerful, he has not reached the level of the Hall Master.
So the Hall Master remains the Hall Master, while the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch is merely the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch."
"Since the Hall Master was so formidable, why did he fall?" Gu An asked curiously.
"Why did the Heavenly Court Master disappear?" Chu Meng countered.
Gu An was momentarily stunned and replied: "Related to the Divine Monarch Hall Master?"
Chu Meng nodded: "Indeed, the Heavenly Court Master vanished, and the Divine Monarch Palace Master fell, which then led the world into chaos."
Gu An was somewhat shocked, suggesting that there was actually a colossal battle in those years?
"Did their battle have a limited scope?" Gu An asked.
Since other Divine Monarchs seemed unaware.
"Not small at all, the order of the heavens and earth was disrupted; otherwise, why would the world suddenly become chaotic?" Chu Meng replied.
"How does the senior know all these things?" Gu An asked.
"When investigating the Nine Heavens Divine Monarch, I happened to learn these pieces of information." Chu Meng put down her teacup and said, "Therefore, to surpass the Hall Master, you must also surpass the Heavenly Court Master.
Only then can you achieve the grand boasts you’ve made."
Gu An: "...."
You esteem me too highly.
After chatting for a while, Chu Meng got up to leave: "Remember to first contact the spy; next year we might set off overseas.
By the way, inquire about the Moon Clan, to leave yourself a path for becoming Immortal."
Once Chu Meng left, Gu An continued eating the things on the table.
Suddenly, he remembered the matter of the Second Maid.
He forgot to inquire.
Later, Gu An got up and headed to Qingmu City.
Only, on the way, he encountered the Princely Heir.
This time, the other seemed rather disheveled.
Gu An was puzzled.
The Princely Heir sighed: "Prince Xianming thinks it’s inappropriate for me to recognize my elder brother as such, and wants to break my leg.
But fortunately, if it’s breaking the leg, if he seals my mouth, wouldn’t I be unable to call my elder brother as such?"
Gu An fell silent.
He thought it necessary to inform the Prince that the Princely Heir was terminally ill.
It would be better to catch him and lock him up.
Finally, Gu An found an excuse and left.
But the other still wanted to cling.
Helplessly, Gu An suggested he invite Xia Wanli for some tea.
Sure enough, the other left.
Deciding to savor tea.
Gu An: "..."
Hopefully, the Prince won’t find out about this matter.
Afterwards, Gu An continued selling talismans at the talisman shop.
The whole of November passed without encountering any problems.
Early December.
Gu An saw Mother Zeng.
Only this time, seeing her, Gu An squinted slightly.
He sensed deathly energy.
Mother Zeng didn’t have much time left.
Seeing Gu An, she was very excited: "Immortal Leader, we meet again, they said something happened to you, I never believed it."
Gu An gazed at her calmly and said: "I’m just busy; however, elderly, your status is not good."
Upon hearing this, Mother Zeng laughed and said: "I know my body; I probably don’t have much time left, but it’s already been long enough."
Gu An looked at her silently, saying: "Does your daughter know?"
"She doesn’t know, and I haven’t told her," the old woman chuckled, "In the past, I worried about her, but now I hear she’s doing well in the Sect, there are senior brothers looking out for her.
The later senior brothers and sisters are also very kind to her.
Without me, she can still live well."
Gu An sat in his seat, closed the book, and looked at the person before him, saying: "Do you need my help?"
If Gu An took action, there was a probability that the person before him might live two more years.
This was already the limit since Mother Zeng’s lifespan should have ended long ago.
She had been living on a resolve all this time.
And, of course, because someone had continuously supported her.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have persisted for so long.
Faced with Gu An’s kindness, Mother Zeng merely shook her head: "I understand my body, and am aware of my situation; there’s no need to continue further.
