#181 - I still like my brother's arrogant look
In the mountains and forests, Gu An walked with steady steps, concealing the aura around him.
At this moment, he was observing the storage treasure in his hand.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly; the people of Peak Beyond Peaks were indeed wealthy.
Originally, he had accumulated two thousand eight hundred spirit stones.
He thought it would take quite a while to save up five thousand.
Unexpectedly.
Now he had four thousand eight hundred.
This storage treasure contained two thousand spirit stones.
It was surprising.
After reaching the Golden Core stage, everyone became much wealthier indeed.
However, besides spirit stones, Senior Sister Tao didn't have much else; she didn't leave behind any techniques or cultivation methods, only some pills.
"There are still many good people."
"I wonder if, in two or three years, that Elder Miao will also have a change of heart."
He stopped thinking about it and Gu An quickly left.
He had to go back to logging.
That afternoon, Gu An continued logging.
He hoped to improve his cultivation as soon as possible.
In addition, he felt that in the future, he should try to avoid learning any incomplete but powerful techniques.
Even if he did learn them, he had to avoid exhausting his lifespan.
Although he didn't feel like it had caused any harm, he always felt like he had more white hair.
This time was indeed an accident; who could have known that the Cage was so difficult to learn?
Being incomplete was one thing, being profound was another.
After all, he had improved many techniques before, giving him many advantages in understanding them.
The next day.
Gu An looked at the six additional points and breathed a sigh of relief.
In half a month, he could improve a technique again, and a month of hard cultivation would also be enough.
If he was too poisoned and needed to rest in between, it would take at most a month and a half to improve once.
That was enough.
It was just that today, not long after he started resting, Duanmu Qingping found him.
"Junior Brother, the Main Courtyard Elder wants you to go there."
Hearing this, Gu An was slightly surprised and said, "Why?"
"Because Junior Brother laid a hand on Junior Brother Hu Li." Saying this, Duanmu Qingping became angry and said, "Originally, the matter was about to pass, but they failed to negotiate with other sects. The Main Courtyard asked them to give a sufficient reason, and they said it was because Junior Brother laid a hand on Hu Li, causing them to lose a great general, so this negotiation failed.
Ultimately, the fault lies with Junior Brother."
Gu An was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll go there."
He didn't know what the final outcome of this matter would be.
But he probably couldn't avoid going.
The Main Courtyard Elder, even in Peak Beyond Peaks, should have considerable strength.
He had no ability to resist.
He could only hope that the other party would have a change of heart in the future and not make things difficult for him.
Main Courtyard of Peak Beyond Peaks.
Gu An arrived in front of a grand hall.
At this time, a middle-aged man was sitting on the high seat.
The people from the Second Team were standing on the side.
It was a relatively young man, as well as Hu Li and others.
A total of four people.
The team leader didn't come.
On Gu An's side, there were only Gu An and Duanmu Qingping.
"Greetings, Elder." Gu An bowed and saluted.
"The people from the Second Team said that you injured Hu Li, thereby causing their mission to fail. Is there such a thing?" Elder Huang looked at Gu An and asked.
"Hu Li deliberately refused to return my spirit stones," Gu An replied.
"He helped us with logging, and I withheld his spirit stones for a month, and he proceeded to break my hands and feet," Hu Li said.
"Is that so?" Elder Huang looked at Gu An.
Gu An nodded: "Yes."
"Okay, very good." Elder Huang nodded, then said:
"Then Gu An, you disrupted the mission, leading to its failure, the charge is established."
Hearing this, Gu An was somewhat surprised, then Elder Huang continued to speak:
"Hu Li was wrong to not give you spirit stones, but you could have completely gone through the various departments of the sect, made a request, and resolved the issue to get your spirit stones back.
You cannot privately resolve the issue yourself, violating sect regulations; this can easily create a negative impact.
This mission is part of that impact."
The moment the words fell, Hu Li and the others were extremely excited.
Gu An frowned deeply.
Duanmu Qingping spoke up: "Elder, but Hu Li was not among the people in this mission."
"Hu Li was originally scheduled to be, but since he was injured, naturally he wasn't there anymore," the young man leading the Second Team, Bing Zheng, said.
Gu An was silent. Although he had guessed as much, he didn't expect this result.
He took a deep look at this Elder; the other party was just an outer peak elder, whose status in the sect wasn't high.
But he could still steadily suppress him.
He couldn't see through his cultivation either.
This was the situation he faced after offending many people in the sect.
Many times, it was difficult for him to resist at all.
In the end, the Main Courtyard gave its final verdict, requiring three hundred spirit stones to compensate Peak Beyond Peaks.
And the Second Team needed to go to other sects to negotiate matters.
They had to complete it.
Gu An handed over the spirit stones, and the Second Team naturally agreed.
After leaving the Main Courtyard, Hu Li and the others looked at Gu An and laughed: "Old Dried Corpse, got nothing to say? Still want spirit stones? Aren't you very powerful?
Why didn't you make a move just now?"
Bing Zheng laughed and said, "Make a move again? Does he not want his little life anymore? I heard he likes to make a move in the Inner Sect. I was just waiting for him to make a move.
I could have directly suppressed him.
I could have even crippled him.
It's a pity this old guy didn't make a move, like a turtle, he's quite good at enduring.
It's inconsistent with the rumors. In the rumors, he is very competitive and eager to win.
It seems rumors are not to be believed."
Saying this, the Second Team laughed loudly.
Gu An looked at the other party, steadied his mind, and finally sighed.
Forget it, endure it.
The situation is stronger than the person.
In the afternoon.
Bing Zheng and Hu Li left the sect, riding their swords towards Qingmu City.
They had already arranged to meet with people from other sects, and this time, they would definitely reach an agreement.
It was just paying some small price.
It wasn't a problem.
"Senior Brother is really amazing. Just now, that old Gu guy was speechless, and he obediently took out the spirit stones.
At that time, how aggrieved he must have felt.
In the end, he was just like a stray dog," Hu Li laughed heartily.
"Early stage Golden Core, not worth worrying about. Even if you gave him ten guts, he wouldn't dare to make a move, but it's best not to let him advance.
Of course, he won't have the chance.
From now on, we will suppress him, bully him, and then cripple him," Bing Zheng sneered:
"He has no idea who he has offended. Now, within the sect, as long as it's targeting him, anything is easy to do.
It's definitely his fault.
How long can he live in the sect like this?
A few more times and he'll die, but we have to make him wish he were dead first."
Saying this, the two laughed loudly.
Suddenly, Bing Zheng was stunned and immediately looked behind him.
Pfft!
A hand pierced through his back.
"Senior Brother looks very surprised." A cold voice sounded.
Blood spurted from Bing Zheng's mouth. He looked at the person in front of him in horror.
He couldn't believe that the other party could pierce through his body.
But the aura of death made him fear.
"S-Senior, Senior Brother, spare, spare me."
He looked terrified.
The other party's cultivation was wrong.
"I still prefer Senior Brother's arrogant look." Gu An reached out and grabbed the other party's head.
"No, don't, I..."
Bang!
Gu An exerted a little force, and Bing Zheng's head was directly crushed.
Blood sprayed out.
Hu Li on the other side was splashed with blood, his cheeks covered in red.
Such a visual impact left his mind blank.
