I Just Won't Play By The Book
chapter-307

'What the f * ck, Uncle Lu…'

Eight hundred meters away, Jiang Beiran had overheard the conversation between the Sect Master and Lin Yuyan with his superb Spiritual Power and acute hearing.

When Lin Yuyan opened her mouth to call him Uncle Lu, Jiang Beiran spat out his saliva.

In front of them were Shi Fenglan, and behind them were Lin Yuyan.

" Sect Master, how many precious treasures have you hidden in the sect?'

Recalling the Sect Master's reaction earlier, Jiang Beiran could basically conclude that the Sect Master knew that Lin Yuyan was in some kind of danger, but he still took her into the sect under such circumstances.

The reason why he did this was naturally because Lin Yuyan's father or the power behind him forced the sect master to lower his head.

Although Jiang Beiran had already felt that his Sect Master had hidden his strength very deeply when he was with Shi Fenglan, it seemed like he had done more than that.

This was because each of his daughters represented a backer. Then, the problem was…

How many backers did the Returning Heart Sect have?

Did the sect master have so many backers because he was forced to, or did he do it intentionally?

The more he thought about it, the colder his back felt. He was afraid that the sect master would suddenly whisper in his ear one day.

" Bei Ran, times have changed."

At that moment, Jiang Beiran felt as if he had been tricked by the Heavenly Axiom once again. It made sense when he thought about it. How could the Heavenly Axiom allow him to enter a normal sect?

'Tsk, although I've long sensed that something was wrong with the Returning Heart Sect, I didn't expect it to be so wrong…'

Just as Jiang Beiran was thinking about what else the Returning Heart Sect was hiding, Lu Yinlong suddenly landed in front of him.

"Grandmaster."

Jiang Beiran bowed.

After sizing up Jiang Beiran, Lu Yinlong asked,""Why did you suddenly want to come with me this time?"

Just now, Lu Yinlong's mind was filled with the thought of " something big is going to happen ", so he didn't have the mood to think about anything else. However, after he realized that Lin Yuyan had calmed down, he calmed down as well. He knew very well what was hidden in Lin Yuyan's body. It was definitely not an evil thing that could be suppressed just by his appearance.

Therefore, the key was naturally on Jiang Beiran, who had suddenly become enthusiastic.

But how could Jiang Beiran, who was only in the Mortal Realm, possibly suppress such an evil creature? It just didn't make sense.

Thus, Lu Yinlong, who had been thinking about this question all the way, asked this question as soon as he landed.

Hearing this question, Jiang Beiran felt a headache coming on. He saw three options pop up.

[Choice 1: I was just doing it on a whim."[Completion Reward: Yang Spirit Treasure Book (Black Grade High-Rank)]

[Choice 2:"I have something important to discuss with the sect master, so I want to be alone with the sect master."[Completion Reward: Divine Poison Gu Axis (Mysterious Grade Mid-Rank)]

[Choice 3:" Because Junior Sister Lin has always been interested in me."[Completion Reward: Random Basic Skill Point +1]

'艹!'

Jiang Beiran couldn't help but spit when he saw the third option. This was actually the safest option? The system…I really can't understand you.

However, after thinking about it carefully, it did not seem to be a problem. The Sect Master was definitely not as reckless as he appeared to be. On the contrary, he was exceptionally scheming, so much so that Jiang Beiran could not figure out what he was planning.

For such a smart person, the answer given by the first option was too perfunctory, which made him seem guilty. Although the second option made sense, it was also a little forceful.

If he chose these two, Lu Yinlong might get to the bottom of it and dig out a lot of his secrets.

Only when the third option explained this matter clearly could Lu Yinlong's doubts be completely dispelled and he would no longer be suspicious.

'Sigh, this woman…He hadn't caused any trouble for a few years, but now he had caused such a big one.'

Jiang Beiran sighed in his heart and deleted Lin Yuyan, who had just been added to the list of tools.

Jiang Beiran adjusted his facial expression to show 20% melancholy, 30% helplessness, 40% panic, and 60% helplessness. He then let out a long sigh and said,""Because…Junior Sister Lin has always been interested in me, so when I heard what Yao Man said just now, I had already guessed the reason."

[Mission completed. Reward: Gu Poison +1]

" What?!"

Lu Yinlong was stunned. He had thought of countless perfunctory answers from Jiang Beiran, but he never expected to hear such a sincere and shocking answer.

Seeing the Sect Master's shocked and almost twisted expression, Jiang Beiran felt a little more at ease. After all, he had the same expression on his face when he saw the option earlier.

After calming himself down, Lu Yinlong coughed lightly and asked,"Is this true?"

"Really?" Jiang Beiran nodded.

"Since when?"

" Four years ago, I once became an iron seal for Junior Sister Lin. After that, Junior Sister Lin expressed that she had fallen in love with me. I knew that I wasn't worthy of Junior Sister Lin, so I kept avoiding her. But who knew..."

Jiang Beiran revealed a panicked expression as he spoke, as if he had seen something terrifying.

Having worked with the system for many years, Jiang Beiran naturally knew how to proceed with the introduction. Although he did not know what kind of shocking secret Lin Yuyan had, with what he had seen and heard today, it would not be difficult for him to pass the matter by if he told her the truth.

Seeing Jiang Beiran's panicked expression, Lu Yinlong was certain that Jiang Beiran was telling the truth. After all, he was the only one in the entire sect who knew the truth about Lin Yuyan's secret.

Shaking his head, Lu Yinlong sighed,""I really didn't expect this to happen. So you came with me because you were worried about Lin Yuyan? Arenren't you afraid of her?"
