Chapter 409: Chapter 291: All Spies? (Part 2)

And naturally, the core of it all was the owner himself.

Thus, there would only be trouble.

A few hundred spirit stones was not a small sum, but he himself was not in need at the moment.

Backed by the First Institute and having several senior brothers and sisters who were generous.

He himself was quite wealthy.

Currently, with over two hundred thousand spirit stones, one could say he was “wealthy in his own right.”

How many Golden Core cultivators from the Outer Peak were as wealthy as him?

The owner persuaded him several more times, and seeing that Gu An really did not want them, gave up.

Thus, Gu An sat down and began selling talismans.

His business now was indeed better than before.

Not long after he sat down, a middle-aged man entered, at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment.

“I would like some attack talismans, have any recommendations?” the elderly man asked.

After pondering for a moment, Gu An recommended the Thousand Hammers Talisman and Thunder Cloud Talisman, both quite useful within the Foundation Establishment range.

The prices were around eighteen to twenty-three.

After hearing the prices, the man asked, “Is there something more practical?”

Gu An introduced an attack talisman worth ten spirit stones.

Not very powerful, but useful for harassment.

The man took them.

Then he said he was from the Ouyang family.

He could get a discount.

Gu An thought for a moment and asked, “Do you have an identity token?”

After all, there needed to be some proof.

Otherwise, wouldn’t everyone claim the same?

Upon hearing this, the man frowned and said, “What? Do I need to have our family head come over to prove it? Even your owner wouldn’t have the courage to ask that.”

Gu An fell silent; why did he always encounter such people upon his arrival?

Was his cultivation too low?

In order to prioritize peace, Gu An adjusted his cultivation to Perfect Foundation Establishment, specifically to show the man.

Feeling the pressure of Perfect Foundation Establishment, the middle-aged man reluctantly handed over his identity token.

“It’s a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding, I brought the token, please take a look,” the man said with a cold sweat on his face.

Thus, the transaction was completed.

Gu An had wanted to remind the man to tell Ouyang Lie to consciously present the identity token when coming to buy things.

But after a moment’s thought, he gave up.

He seldom came here, and it wasn’t much trouble.

Just consider it killing time.

Moreover, starting today, he would conceal his cultivation level here.

This would prevent others from underestimating him too much, to the benefit of everyone.

He would not display his Golden Core status; it could attract trouble.

After a while, he saw Mother Zeng come to clean.

Seeing Gu An, she divided the pastries she brought into two.

“Immortal Leader, this is made by my daughter, please have a taste,” Mother Zeng said, placing it on the table with a smile.

Gu An looked at the slightly ordinary pastries, took a piece, and tried it.

Ordinary, the taste was just okay.

It was a bit better than what Chu Meng’s Second Maid made, it was passable.

Far from the First and Third Maids.

“It’s very delicious,” Gu An said softly.

Hearing this, Mother Zeng’s smile widened.

As dusk approached, Mother Zeng left.

Near midnight, Gu An saw two people come in.

He got up, intending to close the door, but then sat back down.

There were some lighting arrays here, but not as good as in his own home.

After the people entered, Gu An sized them up.

Leading was a man about thirty years old, slightly anxious, indeed the man who had talked to the owner during the day.

Following him was a woman in an immortal dress, delicate featured and graceful, but she was looking down, somewhat helplessly fidgeting with her fingers.

Her eyes were a little red, as if she had been crying.

Early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation.

“Where’s your boss?” the man asked Gu An.

Gu An called out for the owner, and soon Qin Shufu came out.

Seeing the visitors, he frowned.

“Senior.” As the owner appeared, the man knelt down and said, “Senior, I know some things about you, we are really desperate, please take my younger sister.

She will bear children for you in the future, as a token of her fealty.”

Gu An was stunned.

At first, he thought it was about accepting a disciple, but it turned out to be this?

But the woman looked to be in her prime and was quite attractive overall.

Probably stronger than the previous woman.

But knowing the face is not knowing the heart.

If it were still that kind of woman…

Then the boss truly has a complicated love life.

As for the boss being of advanced years and the woman being younger…

This is nothing.

Miss, whether you can live longer than the boss is up for debate.

Don’t be fooled by her youth, her actual age is probably not small.

The boss looked at the person in front of him and said, “I’ve said it, this is impossible, you all should go back.”

At this moment, the man pulled his sister and knelt down, saying, “Senior, I know you are a good person, marrying my sister to you is her best choice.”

The woman lowered her eyebrows, glanced at her brother, and finally respectfully said, “Senior, I am willing to serve you for a lifetime.”

Qin Shufu looked at the two with cold eyes and said, “Even with enough talismans, hunting a Demon Beast is not assured, and advancing to Golden Core is far from as simple as you think.”

“Please grant us this, Senior.” The man kowtowed deeply.

Finally, Qin Shufu sighed and looked at the woman, asking, “And you?”

“I am willing,” the woman lowered her head.

Qin Shufu shook his head, then threw a Storage Treasure to the man, saying, “I hope you won’t regret it.”

Receiving the Storage Treasure, the man showed an excited smile and then quickly left.

After the people left, Qin Shufu let the woman stand up.

She kept her head down, not daring to look at the person in front of her.

Qin Shufu looked at the person in front of him and said, “Put nicely, that’s a betrothal gift; put bluntly, it’s money for selling yourself. Are you really that obedient?”

The woman lowered her eyebrows, her voice bitter and helpless, “My talent is actually not very good; my brother forcibly enhanced my cultivation to Foundation Establishment just to sell me for a good price.

If I don’t agree, he would sell me to the teahouse.

He doesn’t have much time left.”

Gu An had been sitting aside, watching their affair.

For a moment, he was somewhat astonished.

So this was the situation.

It was worse than expected.

“Hope you won’t regret it,” Qin Shufu spoke.

The woman lowered her head.

“What’s your name?” Qin Shufu asked.

“Yu Yawen,” the woman replied softly.

Thus, Qin Shufu then looked at Gu An and said, “I must seem ridiculous to you, young friend.”

Gu An slightly shook his head.

Ridiculous, not quite, but it was certainly enlightening.

Unexpectedly, in the end, the boss still escaped dying alone.

When he was deceived before, who knows how his luck would turn out this time.

“Congratulations, boss,” saying this, Gu An took out the three Spirit Stones he had before and said, “Take this as a congratulatory gift.”

It’s a bit less, but I am an employee after all.

Seeing that midnight was nearing, Gu An left.

He didn’t bother them anymore.

On the way back, the Ring of Destiny responded.

Gu An immediately checked it.

[Yesterday morning, after you parted at Heavenly Suspension Peak, Wei Zhen began contemplating how to locate a spy, his own identity as a seeker naturally made him safer, he was also worried if he had been discovered recently, being an early spy inserted by the Heavenly Yang Sect, he’s been walking on thin ice, now he could say he’s made it through, starting to engage in the sect’s affairs, without wanting to expose himself.

If he indeed can’t locate a spy, he might have to sacrifice one of his own to elevate his status.

Knowing who you are, he looked down on you, deciding even if sacrificing his own people, he wants to get something from you, or to have you killed.

There are quite a few people outside wanting to buy things from you.]

Gu An, while controlling his sword, read this.

Somewhat unexpected.

Wei Zhen, it must be that fellow senior, he’s actually a spy from the Heavenly Yang Sect.

The next day, Gu An did not go to Qingmu City.

Giving the boss some private space to foster feelings.

Me being there might be inconvenient.

After midnight.

The Ring of Destiny provided feedback again.

[Yesterday noon, Kong Yunyi wondered why she was chosen to find a spy, contemplating for a day and reviewing the past, assuring it wasn’t her exposure before finally being relieved, being a Royal Family spy, she needed to observe the changes in the Sect, however, she knew the Royal Family had other spies coming, probably because she wasn’t performing well.

Once abandoned, she would be in danger.

So she decided to find that spy and eliminate them.

For you, she suspects you possess the Nirvana Dao Scripture, and needs to figure out if you have issues.

Advancing several times, also controlling the First Institute, rising suddenly, it couldn’t be without someone behind pushing forward.

You might be a spy dispatched by someone taking great care of the Cangmu Sect.

Otherwise, why would you have so many merits.]

Gu An fell silent.

Another spy.

The third day.

After midnight.

The Ring of Destiny came again.

[Yesterday afternoon, Zhuo Yitong and her junior sister devised a plan, finally thinking of a way to break the situation, this time as she was the main person to search for a spy, not only could she get out, but she could also shift her junior sister’s tail onto you, to her knowledge, some Direct Disciples want to target you.

As long as she pushes, someone will send you to the Law Enforcement Hall.

This time she would prepare all the evidence.

Completely transferring her junior sister’s spy identity onto you.

Thus, their spy identities, no one would know, this way they could continue passing messages for the Zhuanlun lineage.]

Gu An: “….”

All spies?
