I Just Won't Play By The Book
chapter-179-30041322

After Xin Dong’er left, Ye Fan found a tree stump and sat on it. After being in a daze for a while, he suddenly punched the ground. “Haha, look. This trash is ineffectual and furious.”

Ye Fan turned his head abruptly when he heard that and found that Ye Yong had returned with his subordinates.

“Ye Yong, don’t go too far!”

“Haha, so what if I go too far? You’re a trash who only knows how to hide behind a woman! Now that Dong’er isn’t around, let’s see who else can protect you.”

“What do you want!”

“What do I want? I’ve already said before that I want to fight with you. If you fight me once, I guarantee that I’ll avoid you when I see you in the future.”

After saying that, without waiting for Ye Fan to reply, Ye Yong directly rushed up and gave him a punch.

Ye Fan, who had been hit hard, did not have time to defend himself before ye Yong punched him in the stomach again.

As a level 2, Ye Fan did not have the ability to fight back a level 6 at all. Soon, he was knocked to the ground.

“Humph, trash is trash.” Stepping on Ye Fan’s head, Ye Yong smiled disdainfully. “You are not allowed to get close to Dong’er in the future. Otherwise, I will hit you every time I see you! Let’s go.”

When Ye Yong was far away, Jiang Beiran was about to pretend to be a mysterious person and go down when he saw two options jump out.

[ Option 1: Go down and help Ye Fan. Reward: Star Nether Art (mid tier earth rank)]

[ Option 2: Leave immediately. Reward: Random basic attribute points + 1]

“Huh?”

Looking at the two options, Jiang Beiran sighed in his heart. It was indeed too simple to help him directly. It might cause him to be extremely wary, or it might cause some awfully bad consequences.

“As expected of the heaven-grade option. Even the simplest one is not so easy to complete.” “Fortunately, I have prepared four plans. If the first one doesn’t work, then I’ll use Plan B.”

Looking at Ye Fan who was tightly clenching his fists on the ground, Jiang Beiran turned his head and said to Wu Qingce, “Let’s go.”

“Ah!?” Wu Qingce was stunned, he thought that his senior brother was so concerned about Ye Fan that he must have wanted to help Ye Fan or something. Just now, when Ye Fan was beaten up, he had been waiting for his senior brother’s order. However, he did not expect that his senior brother actually intended to leave just like that.

However, when he saw his senior brother turn around and leave after saying that, Wu Qingce quickly followed him.

They went straight back to the hillside where they were stationed. Jiang Beiran took out the Cloud-curling Tube and blew out a cloud.

“Go in, let’s go back to the sect.”

“Ah!?”

Wu Qingce was stunned again, but when he remembered that he had never been able to get his senior brother’s thoughts, he obediently went into the cloud.

They returned to the Sect of Returning Hearts as fast as they could. Then, Jiang Beiran gave Wu Qingce a few instructions. “Then… What if Sect Leader doesn’t want to tell me?” Wu Qingce asked after listening.

“Then I’ll think of another way. Go.”

“Yes.”

Wu Qingce cupped his fists at Jiang Beiran and walked all the way to the gate of the Tianyun Peak’s sect master’s residence.

Wu Qingce had been a popular person in Sect of Returning Hearts recently. Everyone knew that he had increased the reputation of the sect. Even Sect Master Lu often praised him. Therefore, when the gatekeepers saw Wu Qingce coming, one of them immediately went to report. After that, the gatekeeper told Wu Qingce that Sect Master was waiting for him inside. After thanking the two gatekeepers, Wu Qingce walked all the way to the front hall. He bowed at the door and said, “Greetings, Sect Master.” “Come in.”

When Wu Qingce walked into the main hall, Lu Yinlong asked, “Are you done with your task?”

“Thanks to sect master, I finished the task.” Wu Qingce cupped his hands and spoke.

Lu Yinlong laughed when he heard that. “What did I do? How did I help you? Are you here to pay your respects, or do you have something to ask me?”

“I’m here to pay my respects, but I also have something to ask you.”

“Oh? What is it?”

“I’ve been hearing about your sword and saber skills ever since I joined the sect, and I’ve been stagnating in swordsmanship recently, so I’d like to ask you for some advice.”

“What? Does the Order of Chaos Star have nothing left to teach you?” “No, I have learned so much from my order, but I want to learn something better.”

Lu Yinlong burst into laughter after hearing that. “Good, good, good. Ambitious! You’re just like me!”

After that, Lu Yinlong stood up and walked to Wu Qingce’s side. He patted Wu Qingce’s shoulder and said, “It seems that you do understand what I said before. Not bad, you’re a promising young man.”

“Huh? What did you say?” Wu Qingce was stunned and pondered for a moment. He did not know which words Sect Master Lu was referring to.

But of course, he would not ask, because this was what his senior brother had taught him. When he encountered something that he could not understand, he should not speak and pretend to be an expert.

“But I am going on a long trip soon. I will teach you well when I come back.”

“Wow, Brother Jiang is simply a God!” Hearing Sect Master say what Jiang Beiran expected, Wu Qingce immediately asked according to the instructions of his senior brother, “Are you going on a long trip? Is there anything I can help you with?”

Lu Yinlong burst into laughter after hearing that. “It’s rare for you to have such a heart. It’s not in vain for me to train you. But this matter…” Lu Yinlong paused for a moment. Suddenly, he changed his tone. “That’s nothing you can really do, but I have a matter that’s neither too big nor too small, and you can help me with it.”

“I’m willing to go through fire and water for Sect Master!” Wu Qingce answered firmly.

“Hahaha, it’s not that serious. It’s just some family matters.” After Lu Yinlong spoke, he briefly told Wu Qingce about the matter of Lu Qingyin canceling the engagement.

“Brother Jiang is really a god!”

Seeing that things had developed exactly as his senior brother had said, Wu Qingce’s admiration for his senior brother rose to another level.

“What a flawless plan! As expected of my perfect senior brother!”

After worshipping his senior brother again in his heart, Wu Qingce said, “It’s such a small matter. Why don’t I go to the Ye family on your behalf to settle it?”

Lu Yinlong didn’t go to the Ye family directly after learning about the annulment because he felt that it would be too demeaning if he came to apologize to them right away. He had planned to delay it for a while.

However, after hearing Wu Qingce’s self-recommendation, Lu Yinlong suddenly had an idea that could solve this matter without demeaning himself.

“That’s fine. How about this? If you go as a disciple of Sect of Returning Hearts, I’m afraid the Ye family will think that I’m insulting them. But if you’re my direct disciple, then the Ye family won’t think so.”

If it was before, Wu Qingce would definitely say, “Since your direct disciple is going, then I’ll take my leave first.”

But now, after being taught by his senior brother for so long, he immediately understood Sect Master’s words.

Thus, Wu Qingce directly knelt in front of Lu Yinlong and said, “I, Wu Qingce pay my respect to Master Lu.”

“Good, good, good!” After saying three times, Lu Yinlong happily stroked his beard and said, “Then this will be your first test. If you can successfully complete it, I’ll officially accept you as my direct disciple when I come back.”

After saying that, Lu Yinlong told Wu Qingce everything about the Ye family and gave him the compensation.

After taking everything, Wu Qingce cupped his hands and said, “Master, don’t worry. I will definitely resolve it properly.” After saying that, he took his leave and left the sect master’s residence.

After returning to the back mountain, Wu Qingce told Jiang Beiran everything that happened just now.

Jiang Beiran was quite surprised when he heard that Lu Yinlong had accepted Wu Qingce as his direct disciple. After all, in his impression, Sect Master Lu had not accepted a direct disciple for a long time.

However, he liked this kind of accident. Once Wu Qingce became stronger, he would become a much better help for Jiang Beiran.

Seeing that his senior brother was not surprised at all that he had been accepted as Sect Master Lu’s personal disciple, Wu Qingce cupped his hands and said, “Brother Jiang, you are simply too amazing! Everything has developed into the direction as you expected.”

In fact, Jiang Beiran was only trying his luck. He had been observing in Jiyuan Town for so long, and when he found that Sect Master Lu had not come to Ye Family to apologize. He had not sent anyone from Sect of Returning Heart. So, Jiang Beiran knew that Lu Yinlong did not take this matter to heart.

Therefore, he tried to let Wu Qingce test Lu Yinlong a little. If everything went well, then he could carry out his Plan B. If things did not go well, or if Sect Master did not let Wu Qingce be the emissary, then Jiang Beiran would use Plan C.

However, this time, things were obviously going smoothly. The first step of Plan B had already been completed.

With a slight smile, Jiang Beiran blew out the cloud and said, “Come on. Let’s return to Jiyuan Town.”

Looking at his senior brother’s handsome and indifferent expression, Wu Qingce could not help but shout in his heart once again.

“He’s not arrogant at all. That’s my perfect senior brother!”
