After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 153: Targeted for Being a Good Person Like Senior Brother Gu
Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Targeted for Being a Good Person Like Senior Brother Gu
Early morning.
Gu An woke up.
Meditating on the tree, condensing innate energy.
At the same time, pondering over the Golden Core Technique.
Although he had not yet started Cultivation, the more enlightened, the better.
It would make promotion more likely to succeed.
If one knows too little and the promotion fails, the consequences are unpredictable.
Once one has accumulated a hundred Hard Cultivations, it would be too late for anything.
The sky was fully bright.
Gu An got up and went to the Spiritual Treasure Vault.
Now, when encountering people outside, he would often see resentful and contemptuous looks.
They even started to talk behind his back.
"This is the guy from the Spiritual Treasure Vault, sitting around waiting for us to hand over Spirit Stones, we work hard on missions, why should he get a share for nothing?"
"Yeah, I think next time I won’t give any Spirit Stones, let’s see if he tries to give me trouble, I’ll blow up right there and then if he does."
"Blow up on the spot, aren’t you afraid?"
"Afraid of what? I’ve heard that some people don’t have any background, they are just bluffing. This Gu An is exactly that kind of person, he is nothing."
All these discussions were conducted behind Gu An’s back, but if they can evade an Early-Stage Foundation Establishment, how could they possibly evade him with his Perfect Foundation Establishment?
Not just Perfect Foundation Establishment, his spirit is, in fact, already beyond Foundation Establishment.
Below the Golden Core, there should be no one who can match him.
Gu An was not surprised by their conversations.
It seems like trouble is beginning to stir on his end.
He just didn’t know about other places yet.
Arriving at the Spiritual Treasure Vault, Gu An continued his work.
As expected, he received three people today.
One of them was ready to explode in anger at any moment.
He did not give any broken spiritual stones.
Despite this, Gu An gave the man his resources normally.
Upon seeing the items, the man became excited.
His gaze towards Gu An was even more disdainful.
Gu An felt quite emotional.
Actually, even if they had not given any Spirit Stones from the beginning, he would have given the same resources.
It’s just that no one believed it, and nobody had done it.
Of course, he didn’t say so either.
Therefore, now that these people were feeling smug, he could understand.
A pity that he was just a pawn.
Being smug towards him didn’t mean much.
Now that the precedent was set, his situation would only become more difficult.
Even if he successfully escaped the whirlpool, he would be criticized
and even bullied...
Really...
Great.
Only this way, he could legitimately pick up Spirit Stones.
Without reason, he wouldn’t be able to pick them up.
Approaching noon, Gu An heard Senior Brother Ye’s summon from the Token.
However, he needed to wait until the work here was finished.
Before leaving, Yang Qi came over.
"Senior Brother, you’re in a dangerous situation."
This was the first thing he said.
Gu An looked at the person in front of him with interest, wondering what kind of news he would bring.
"I’ve been asking my fellow townsfolk recently, and I finally got enough information," Yang Qi said: "Senior Brother’s current situation is that those below target you, while those above have abandoned you.
Danger could strike at any time."
Gu An looked at him and said, "That is true."
"Senior Brother, what do you plan to do?" Yang Qi asked curiously.
"Watch and wait," Gu An said with a smile.
Hearing this, Yang Qi was somewhat puzzled.
But in the end, she didn’t try to dissuade much more, only saying: "I also know why these comments have suddenly emerged.
Some people say that they got resources from Senior Brother without spending much in the way of spirit stones and got good resources almost for free.
They feel Senior Brother is a kind person.
And just because such comments arose, new comments emerged: what they originally deserved, when others suddenly give them up, instead of feeling grateful, they felt taken for granted.
They felt like they weren’t even seen as human beings, now believing even a steamed bun giver to be a great benefactor.
The arguments got more and more radical, accusing Senior Brother of exploiting fellow disciples, calling him utterly heinous."
Upon hearing this, Gu An was somewhat surprised.
It turned out that instructing Ren Yinghua to start planning ahead wasn’t due to other reasons, but because he managed to make those people feel grateful.
It was quite unexpected.
It seemed that his good intentions had backfired on him.
It hastened the timeline.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so passive.
"Senior Brother, there’s actually another way out, which is to leave as soon as possible. I can find a mission for you to leave the Sect," Yang Qi said.
Gu An thanked him.
But he wouldn’t leave.
If the outside were so good, why wouldn’t the suffering ones leave?
The Sect doesn’t stop them at all.
Not for anything else, but because the outside world is a place where one could be devoured without leaving bones behind. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Here, even the man-eating beasts have to show some restraint.
Outside, who would show restraint?
Outside, where would the resources come from?
It seems like gaining one’s freedom, but in fact, other strong ones are free as well.
So, what to use to restrain them?
Their kindness?
Only those who are utterly desperate would choose to leave.
But Gu An hasn’t reached that point yet.
After Yang Qi left, Gu An looked at himself in the mirror and muttered, "This old, to be a hidden Golden Core, it’s not too overboard, right?"
On the way to the small square.
Gu An saw people arguing by the roadside and walked past them before they noticed him.
However, he overheard the reason for their argument.
"Why is everyone saying now that it’s Senior Brother Gu’s fault? That’s unreasonable."
"How is it unreasonable?"
"How is it not? Senior Brother Gu helped us, he didn’t take our spirit stones, why does everyone think he’s utterly heinous? He is clearly a good person."
"Is a single act of kindness enough to be a good person? Since when did it become so easy to be a good person? Shouldn’t we be spitting on him?"
"But what about the previous senior brothers and sisters? When have they ever been soft on us? Why does no one spit on them? Is it because they have backers, so no one dares to? Is it because Senior Brother Gu has no background and understands our hardships?
Because he is a good person? Should a good person be pressured by us, spat on, targeted by us?"
The person almost roared out loud.
The man across was stunned for a moment, and then replied listlessly, "What else can we do? Who can we turn to? People like us, other than finding someone easy to bully to vent our frustrations, who else can we turn to? You tell me?"
Gu An looked back at them and realized that the one arguing for him was the one who had been short on spirit stones some time ago.
Without much thought, Gu An arrived at the small square.
At this moment, there were quite a few people in the square.
Apart from the people brought by Senior Brother Ye, there was also a senior sister who brought five fellow disciples.
At this time, Song Xiu and others all looked towards him, some with scorn, some with schadenfreude, and one even with concern.
It was Meng Fa.
What was he worried about?
Gu An did not understand and simply approached Senior Brother Ye to perform the greeting: "I have seen Senior Brother Ye."
Senior Brother Ye looked at Gu An and shook his head with a sigh, "Can’t handle the burden, I heard you’ve collected a lot of spirit stones from fellow disciples?"
"Yes," Gu An nodded:
"If junior brothers and sisters wish to give, it’s hard to decline their kind intentions."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Senior Brother Ye was also taken aback.
He was mocking the other person, not praising him.
Does this person not understand?
And to admit it so openly, is it fitting?
A clueless person won’t last long before falling under the great axe.
Therefore, he didn’t care about that anymore, and said: "Since junior brother is so beloved, I won’t keep you here any longer."
