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

Of the six courtyards, only five remain now.

However, the names of each courtyard have not been changed.

After the First Courtyard, it is still the Third Courtyard; the Second Courtyard has disappeared.

When the Six Courtyards were established, it was quite a spectacle, but now that one courtyard is gone, the others inevitably sigh.

Furthermore, those who secretly seized power in the Second Courtyard probably regret it to the core.

They originally thought that with their status as direct disciples, success was guaranteed.

Unfortunately, the existence or abolition of the Six Courtyards is never decided by the Hall of Law Enforcement, nor can it be influenced by the Hall of Merit.

It is a field for the Peak Lords to compete.

Even if the competition has ended, the Hall of Law Enforcement has no right to decide its fate.

Logically speaking, many people should have thought of this, but...

There are always people who can't help but take a gamble.

Those who can't restrain themselves go to gamble, while those who can restrain themselves watch and wait.

Now, it's completely cleared out.

"What happened to the leader of the Second Courtyard?" Gu An asked.

"They received a batch of resources and have been working under the supervision of the Hall of Law Enforcement recently.

It can be said that the biggest beneficiary of the Second Courtyard's disbandment is the leader."

Gu An was slightly surprised.

He originally thought that the leader would return to their old life.

Unable to obtain more benefits.

Judging from the current situation.

As long as the courtyards are disbanded, not only can they obtain a sum of resources, but they can also be assigned corresponding positions.

Apart from no longer leading the courtyards, the benefits are not lacking at all.

Therefore, as long as the leaders of the courtyards are emptied of their power, they can completely apply for disbandment.

It must be said that although the courtyards have become a field for the Peak Lords to compete, there are no downsides.

It's just unknown how long this kind of treatment can last.

After all, many benefits only exist in the initial stage; as time goes on, the Peak Lords will no longer pay attention.

No one will ask about how the people below act.

The other courtyards are like this, and his own courtyard is no different.

But at least it can last a little longer.

Gu An stopped thinking about it; as long as he becomes strong enough before the Peak Lords lose interest, there won't be any problems.

Afterward, Gu An inquired about the situation of the others.

"Yu Tu's cultivation is improving extremely fast; he is now in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment and not far from the late stage, making him the fastest cultivator among everyone. However, his childhood sweetheart often writes to him, saying that he is just a burden to us, only knowing how to take and not do anything,

affecting his state of mind." Pang Wen sighed, "Yu Tu still lacks in character, but he will slowly get better; the main thing is that he is still young."

In his twenties, the person he has the most contact with is his childhood sweetheart; he has not yet understood the sinister nature of people's hearts.

Especially since he comes from a remote place, with no one to enlighten him, he doesn't know how to distinguish right from wrong or feel the warmth and coldness of human relationships, making him even more confused.

As long as he studies hard in the First Courtyard, his state of mind will gradually stabilize.

Especially with the First Courtyard protecting him.

"Can he keep his monthly spirit stones?" Gu An asked.

"He is worried that he can't keep them, knowing that he is no match for his childhood sweetheart and can easily be tricked into handing over the spirit stones with a few words, so he gave the spirit stones to Junior Sister Zeng Lan," Shu Ci replied.

"Gave them to Zeng Lan?" Gu An nodded, not asking further.

Yu Tu knows that he is no match for his childhood sweetheart, so he knows how to avoid losses.

Pang Wen nodded, replying, "Junior Sister Zeng Lan is very hardworking; unlike Yu Tu, her talent is not outstanding, so she mainly manages various affairs of the First Courtyard and arranges the daily lives of everyone in the First Courtyard.

Of course, she hasn't neglected her cultivation.

It's just that she has been taking leave recently, presumably because her mother's health is not good.

I asked someone to take a look; Junior Sister Zeng's mother's condition is not optimistic.

Therefore, I don't know how long she will be on leave."

Gu An nodded, saying, "Well, let her be; the First Courtyard is not short of people at the moment."

Pang Wen nodded in agreement.

Afterward, he reported on the situation of Yang Qi, Shang Huo, Ruan Huan, and others.

It was not much different from before.

Yang Qi and Shang Huo are still working hard to break through to the Golden Core stage.

Ruan Huan's Golden Core realm has been stabilized.

On the surface, Shu Ci is in the early stage of Golden Core, but in reality, she is in the late stage of Golden Core.

Pang Wen is in the mid-stage of Golden Core.

The time is still short; even with ample resources, their speed of improvement will not be too fast.

However, with more Golden Core cultivators, it is much easier to carry out the missions of the Second Team.

Logically speaking, these people are not sufficient.

But Gu An has no intention of adding manpower.

After all, the people of the First Courtyard and the Second Team can be mutually dispatched.

There will be no shortage of manpower.

Pang Wen and the others reported on some things; regarding the missions outside the peak, some are not deliberately making things difficult but are due to the inherent difficulty of the missions.

After all, not every sect will give face, and not everyone thinks that marrying into the royal family is a good thing.

Gu An has methods to deal with this; he will personally take action when necessary.

After finishing everything, Pang Wen and Shu Ci bowed and bid farewell, turning to leave.

The two of them went to the First Courtyard together.

On the way, Shu Ci adjusted her hair and looked at the person beside her, saying, "What do you think the team leader is thinking?"

Pang Wen was puzzled, "Thinking about what?"

"Our cultivation is not high, and we often cause trouble," Shu Ci asked.

"The team leader shouldn't think too much; as long as we do our duty, he will definitely not pursue other issues too much.

For example, helping Junior Brother Yu Tu; as long as he is motivated and understands what should be done and what shouldn't be done, the team leader will support him.

Another example is Junior Sister Zeng Lan; she is filial to her mother, so the team leader will naturally allow her to take leave," Pang Wen paused, finally saying, "Actually, in the final analysis, it's not that we are so valuable, but that the team leader is willing to cultivate us. It's that kind of cultivation without any utilitarian motives.

He simply hopes that we can better cope with the current mission.

Therefore, what we need to do is very simple: strive to improve our cultivation and do our duty."

"Is that all?" Shu Ci was quite puzzled, "But what is the team leader's motive? I have never felt that he has any desires; whether it's the First Courtyard or the Second Team, he seems to be asking for nothing."

Pang Wen looked at Shu Ci beside him, saying seriously, "Junior Sister still hasn't figured it out clearly; the team leader's cultivation is not the most puzzling thing.

What's truly puzzling is his trust in us.

He trusts us without any reservations.

And he clears away our worries.

Whether it's what we see or what we don't see, there are actually no worries.

And what we need to do is actually very simple: just don't betray this trust.

There's no need to do anything more."

Shu Ci raised her eyebrows and looked at Pang Wen, "Senior Brother Pang, you've changed; you weren't like this before.

The former you gave people a feeling of being dull and somewhat ignorant and fearless.

The current you seem to have a bit of a confusing scholarly air.

If the little fairy could understand Senior Brother, she would definitely fall in love."

Pang Wen, who was originally discussing serious matters, suddenly froze.

He slightly flusteredly withdrew his gaze, saying, "Junior Sister, don't tease me."

Shu Ci smiled like a flower, no longer continuing the topic,

The two of them walked side by side on the forest path; Shu Ci suddenly casually asked, "Senior Brother, do you think my hairpin from yesterday looked good?"

Sparse sunlight fell on them, making the February day feel no hint of cold.

"Is it that wooden hairpin?" Pang Wen replied truthfully, "It looks good, but it's slightly mismatched with your fairy dress; I don't really understand."

Hearing this, Shu Ci maintained her smile, saying:

"Junior Sister Ruan Huan's clothes from yesterday were quite beautiful."

"Is it the red fairy dress?" Pang Wen asked.

Shu Ci's eyes flickered slightly, saying, "The cyan fairy dress."

Pang Wen nodded, not thinking much about it.

"Senior Brother, are you free tonight? I want to choose a suitable fairy dress for my hairpin," Shu Ci's eyebrows curved,

Sparse sunlight fell on his face, slowly opening his mouth.

"No, not really. Junior Sister should look for Junior Sister Ruan Huan," Pang Wen said, shaking his head hurriedly.

Hearing this, Shu Ci didn't mind. Instead, she moved closer to Pang Wen and said, "Senior Brother, I think my clothes have become a little loose recently. Could you help me see if they're too big?"

Hearing about the loose clothes, Pang Wen seemed to think of something and quickly turned his head away, saying, "This would damage Junior Sister's reputation. It's not appropriate."

Hearing this, Shu Ci still maintained her smile, but there was an unreadable meaning in her eyes.

After a pause, she maintained her smile and said, "Junior Sister Ruan Huan is busy, and I don't know any other fellow sisters. If I don't ask Senior Brother, there's no one else."

"This..." Pang Wen was at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond.

Seeing this, Shu Ci smiled brightly, "I was just joking with Senior Brother. If Junior Sister Ruan Huan is busy, there's also Junior Sister Zeng Lan."

Hearing this, Pang Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief and then returned to normal, saying, "Junior Sister, don't make such jokes next time."

Shu Ci giggled and didn't respond, only asking, "What will Senior Brother be busy with this afternoon?"

Pang Wen said seriously, "The Second Team has a mission recently, so I need to sort things out a bit. Also, I need to get in touch with the new people first. If the team leader comes, at least I'll have some basic information."

Gu An watched the two leave, recalling the old woman in Qingmu City.

That is, Junior Sister Zeng Lan's mother.

One didn't want to be a burden, and the other wanted to keep the person by their side.

Both were thinking of the other, yet subtly tormenting each other.

Emotions are contradictory.

Clearly, they didn't want to give the other more pressure, but their very existence was pressure.

What if they were lost...?

Gu An had never thought about it.

Perhaps Junior Sister Zeng Lan had never thought about these things either.

She had finally made a name for herself in recent years.

With a Foundation Establishment cultivation base and many resources from the First Institute, it was enough for her to properly show filial piety.

But...

This kind of filial piety wouldn't last long.

Because Gu An had seen Zeng's mother's physical condition.

There was no way to reverse it.

It was a feeling of holding on with all her might.

Perhaps one day, when there was nothing to worry about, she would completely let go.

He just didn't know if Zeng Lan could bear it.

Zeng Lan wanted the old woman to enjoy her old age, but...

It had taken her a long time to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage.

When she came back to her senses, her mother's temples were white and she was plagued by serious illness.

She only hated that time had passed too quickly.

Gu An also felt this kind of emotion from Zuo's mother.

She still didn't know that the son who had left home as a child was already separated from her forever.

And Su Ya'er's lover would never meet her again.

The truth is always the cruelest.

Gu An sighed, and one day he would still need to meet them.

When Zuo Youyan's name spread throughout the world.

Then he would meet them.

Perhaps that would be the last time.

But speaking of Qingmu City, Gu An thought of Qin Shufu again.

He had suffered losses because of women twice. He wondered if he had suffered any more losses in recent days.

Gu An felt that he could take some time to go to Qingmu City and have a look.

And also visit the small shop from time to time.

That would make him relax.

Like dealing with the problems brought by Pang Wen, it gave him a strange sense of accomplishment.

But when he started dealing with the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, it was just powerlessness and frustration.

Shaking his head, Gu An got up and headed towards Heavenly Suspension Peak.

He wanted to see what the Blood Demon Divine Lord thought of the Divine Lord Palace.

There were some things that needed to be verified with him.

Evening.

Heavenly Suspension Peak.

Gu An looked at the Blood Demon Divine Lord, who had a serious face, and said, "Something happened?"

"Big Brother may have to work hard," Fatty Tiger said cautiously, "The Star Spirit Orb will soon be handed over to Big Brother,

and Big Brother needs to hand it over to the Nine Heavens Divine Lord as soon as possible."

"How do I give it?" Gu An asked.

The Blood Demon Divine Lord was stunned and said, "How did you get it? Just give it back the same way. Does Big Brother still remember how you got it?"

Gu An thought for a moment and nodded, "Besides that?"

As for how he got it, he didn't need to tell the other party.

Or just make something up.

The Blood Demon Divine Lord couldn't question it.

And didn't dare to ask.

After that, the Blood Demon Divine Lord explained the general content of the gathering. This time, he didn't hide anything and even told him about the formations and secret techniques.

"This requires the aura of a Divine Lord, so Big Brother can't use it for the time being, but Little Blood, I have the aura of a Divine Lord and can cover items for Big Brother," the Blood Demon Divine Lord said immediately.

Gu An looked at the other party, looking at the formations and secret techniques he had prepared in advance, and said, "How is the aura of a Divine Lord used?"

"It's very simple. As long as you have the position of a Divine Lord, you can mobilize the aura of a Divine Lord by communicating with the position of a Divine Lord," the Blood Demon Divine Lord said seriously, "A person like Big Brother will definitely become a Divine Lord in the future."

Gu An just nodded casually and didn't have any intention of asking more questions.

Because he had already gotten the answer.

Afterwards, Gu An pretended to ask about the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.

Then he inquired about the backhand of the Heavenly Maiden lineage.

He was indeed curious about this.

"I haven't heard of it, but if the Heavenly Maiden lineage really has a backhand, I'm afraid that this backhand hasn't sent back any news yet, or it's deliberately being concealed," the Blood Demon Divine Lord thought for a moment and said, "If they haven't sent the correct news back, they should be looking for the Eye of Heavenly Punishment nearby, so Big Brother still needs to be careful.

The Nine Heavens Divine Lord should be acting alone, so he is also very dangerous."

"Why does the Nine Heavens Divine Lord know who the marriage contract belongs to?" Gu An asked.

"Because it's reported to the Nine Heavens, and this Nine Heavens has a certain relationship with the Nine Heavens Divine Lord," the Blood Demon Divine Lord replied.

Gu An was stunned.

There was actually such a thing.

Report to the Nine Heavens, report to himself?

But he didn't feel anything.

"So, if the Nine Heavens Divine Lord knows, it means he has recovered very well, and his current state should be the best.

But no one can be sure if what he says is true or false," the Blood Demon Divine Lord said.

Gu An roughly understood.

After a pause, the Blood Demon Divine Lord continued, "In addition, the Cosmos Divine Lord wants to find a special Wheel of Reincarnation. Big Brother can look for it. Dongfang Changli wants half-demons. Once Big Brother finds them, he can try to make his own demands."

After that, Gu An chatted with the Blood Demon Divine Lord for a while.

He roughly understood everything.

The Nine Heavens Divine Lord really should know everything.

But now he had to first figure out the orthodox Daoist sect and the orthodox innate race.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to understand what they were saying.

In the evening, Gu An went to the Scripture Pavilion.

Although he had found some information, he only saw that the Daoist Sect was the orthodox Daoist sect.

It was recorded above that thousands of years ago, the Daoist Sect had obtained the approval of heaven and earth and became the orthodox Daoist sect.

It was said that at that time, geniuses emerged frequently.

Later, the Fire Phoenix Clan and the True Dragon Clan suddenly fought, affecting the Daoist Sect.

In the end, they were involved and suffered heavy casualties.

They almost became a thing of the past.

They had only recovered some vitality in recent years.

And besides Dongdao Ancient Province, the records in places like Xiling Wood Province were relatively messy and had to be read one by one.

Until dawn, Gu An hadn't finished reading.

"It's still faster to ask Chu Menglai directly. I haven't seen Noodles recently, otherwise I could call Chu Meng over."

Gu An left the Scripture Pavilion and headed to the First Institute.

To see the new prisoners.

To see what kind of strong people they were that could surpass Ye Xiu.

Logically speaking, Immortal Bridge-level powerhouses wouldn't be sent to the various institutes.

Because it was difficult to bear, one would be a disaster.
