I Just Won't Play By The Book
chapter-268

He told Yin Jianghong about the conversation between him and Deng Xianghan that night. When the system popped up,[Quest completed. Reward: When Jiang Beiran saw that the " crisis of trust " was over, he knew that he had passed.

" But there's a new special attribute?'

This time, he broke the record too quickly. Last time, he hadn't encountered any new attribute points for two years. This time, he encountered two.

At that moment, Jiang Beiran only had one thought in his mind.

" Think of a way to protect that Eldest Princess!'

She was like a treasure trove girl. She had gained two new Special Points in a single night. Jiang Beiran had never received such benefits before.

Seeing that Yin Jianghong was deep in thought after listening to the story, Jiang Beiran began to guess the function of the [Spirit of Words].

According to Jiang Beiran's understanding, the power of speech was used to achieve various goals. The highest level was to use the power of speech. Words could be used to bless, but they could also be used to curse.

For example, if I say that your mother will definitely raise the price when she buys vegetables today, then your mother will definitely raise the price when she buys vegetables today.

This was what Jiang Beiran understood as the power of speech.

However, it was also possible that he had to say some special words to produce an effect. This would be more troublesome. He had to try word by word. If any dangerous words were accidentally said, it would be troublesome.

For example, Jiang Beiran wanted to try saying the word " harmonious " to see if it could change the color of the world.

Just as Jiang Beiran was thinking about this unique and wicked interest of his, Yin Jianghong said,""Liang Country... What do you think of this matter?"

Having his train of thought interrupted, Jiang Beiran pondered for a moment before replying,""Zhen believes that now is not the time to confront the Liang Country."

" I have the same thoughts. Now that the Sheng Kingdom is in chaos, if we attract another enemy, I'm afraid that we won't be able to split ourselves. However…" Yin Jianghong dragged out her words and looked at Jiang Beiran.""Have you ever thought about why the Country of Liang did not take advantage of this chaos to directly invade?"

"It must be because the Liang Country isn't peaceful either. Although it's better than us, it's not much better."

"Smart." Yin Jianghong revealed an enigmatic smile.

'F * ck…Could it be that this cunning old man had also caused trouble in the Country of Liang? That's true. Only the people of Liang could come to the Sheng Kingdom to cause trouble, and the Sheng Kingdom couldn't go to Liang.'

Retracting her smile, Yin Jianghong suddenly said seriously,""Actually, you might as well agree to that princess's request. The Liang Kingdom wants to use you to destroy the Sheng Kingdom, but we can also use this to confuse them."

[Choice 1: Agree with Yin Jianghong's point of view. [Completion Reward: Firefly Painting (Foundation Low-Grade)]

[Option 2: Pretend to be stupid and muddle through. [Completion Reward: Black Crow Nether Record (Mysterious Grade Mid-Rank)]

[Option 3: Refuse Yin Jianghong's point of view and dispel his thoughts. [Completion Reward: Random Basic Attribute Point +1]

Jiang Beiran knew what Yin Jianghong meant when he said that. He was trying to play a secret game. First, he had to gain the trust of the State of Liang. Then, he would give them some false information. Sometimes, it could work wonders.

However, the risk of being an undercover agent was just too high. Besides, based on the many spy films that Jiang Beiran had watched, which undercover agent did not live a life of mental and physical exhaustion and would not end well in the end.

Furthermore, if he wanted to gain the trust of the Liang Country, he would have to increase Yin Jianghong's suspicions. When he became intimate with the Liang Country, he would say," Cult Master Yin, I am just pretending to be on good terms with them. Don't misunderstand.""

Would Yin Jianghong still believe him?

To sum up, Jiang Beiran had no intention of becoming a tragic character.

After choosing the third option, Jiang BeiRan said,""Cult Master Yin, this matter is too dangerous."

"Dangerous? Which part is dangerous?" Yin Jianghong asked.

"I am too dangerous."

This answer almost made Yin Jianghong's waist hurt. He knew that this was a very dangerous matter for Jiang Beiran. After all, he was traveling between two countries. The slightest mistake could lead to his death. However, he did not expect him to say it out loud.

"How can a great man not take risks? The higher the risk, the greater the benefits. I believe you can handle this matter well."

"Cult Master Yin, please allow this one to speak honestly. When this one's relationship with the Country of Liang reaches the point where we can pry into their secrets and influence their higher-ups 'decisions, Cult Master Yin, do you still dare to believe what this one says?"

Yin Jianghong was silent for a moment after hearing that. Finally, she laughed out loud and said,"Hahahaha, Jiang Beiran, you're really something. You're the only one in Fengzhou who dares to speak to me like this."

Seeing that Yin Jianghong didn't show any signs of anger, Jiang Beiran bowed and continued,""I think Cult Master Yin's trust in me is more important than carrying out this plan. What do you think?"

"Indeed, you have value." Yin Jianghong nodded.

Just as Jiang Beiran had said, if he were to agree to betray the Liang Kingdom or help the Liang Kingdom to secretly harm the Sheng Kingdom, the Liang Kingdom would definitely express their utmost sincerity to win him over. If the two were to get too close, Yin Jianghong believed that she would not trust him as much as she did now.

When Jiang Beiran and the Liang Empire had built up a high enough level of trust, he would have a backer on both sides. By then, the choice would be in his hands.

Therefore, Jiang Beiran's answer had also expressed that he was loyal to the Sheng Kingdom and did not want to have too much to do with the Liang Kingdom.
