I Just Won't Play By The Book
chapter-322

When Su Buqing had suddenly entered the study, Jiang Beiran had been rather surprised. Due to the Illusory Void Barrier, he had indeed not sensed Su Buqing's arrival.

However, he was only surprised for a moment because Su Buqing's arrival did not trigger any options, which meant that he was not a threat to him.

As such, Jiang Beiran began to think about how to deal with this little fool who had delivered himself to his doorstep. The first method he thought of was to turn the little fool into a pawn in the Liang Kingdom.

However, that would expose some of his strength. Although Jiang Beiran could think of a way to get Muyao out of here first, he realized that even if he wanted to deal with Su Buqing in front of Muyao, he wouldn't be able to do so.

Jiang Beiran found this novel. When he had first met Muyao, she had also been able to trigger the Earth-rank option, but she had never triggered it again.

Moreover, Muyao wasn't as cautious as Lin Yuyan, nor was she lured away by him like the five golden flowers. The two of them had spent every day in the palace, but they had never triggered an option.

Jiang Beiran thought about it and realized that the reason was probably because he had " gotten to know " Yin Jianghong very quickly. The reason why Lin Yuyan could still trigger the Earth-rank option was very simple: Jiang Beiran still did not know what her father or her background was.

Needless to say, Shi Fenglan could trigger the option just by hearing about her background.

Only Muyao's father, Jiang Beiran, knew who it was. He also knew that Yin Jianghong was trying to set them up, so he wouldn't be a threat to Muyao.

After some analysis, Jiang Beiran decided that if there was a chance, it would be a good idea to recruit Muyao.

After all, Muyao was now Yin Jianghong's trusted aide. He couldn't get rid of her, so he might as well make good use of her. That way, Yin Jianghong wouldn't have to worry about her, and he wouldn't have to be too restrained.

In the corner, Muyao couldn't help but shudder when she heard Jiang Beiran's question. Even someone as prideful as her had been stunned by the visual impact of what she had just witnessed.

"You... Are you really Jiang Beiran?"

Putting down the teacup, Jiang Beiran approached Muyao and said,""I am asking you now."

"I won't tell father what I saw today…"

Jiang Beiran was a little surprised that Muyao had agreed so readily. He had thought that he would have to coax her a little.

Muyao stomped her feet when she saw the strange look in Jiang Beiran's eyes. She opened her mouth and said,""If you don't believe me, then... Feed me that bug too."

"Hiss..."

Jiang Beiran was truly dumbfounded. He could tell that Muyao and her father were very close, and he had a big secret that could threaten her father, yet she had so easily sided with him.

The reason was definitely not as simple as being afraid of death.

"Your thoughts are pretty good. Do you think that those little cuties are so easy to refine? You want to eat them but you're not willing to give them to me. However, seeing that you're so frank, zhen can not kill you, but you have to answer a few questions."

"Okay, go ahead." Muyao nodded.

"Why are you willing to hide it for me?"

"Because I think you're a good person…"

'..'

Jiang Beiran, who had suddenly been given a hairpin, held back his ridicule and continued to ask,""Be more specific."

"I know that it was all thanks to you that the Masked Moon Sect managed to avoid a fight between the Righteous Dao and the Devil Dao in Feng Province. Eldest Father often praises you in front of me, saying that you saved him a lot of trouble. In addition…"

Muyao blushed and lowered her head.""In the past few months, I've seen you busy yourself for the sake of the commoners. You're the only cultivator I know who values the commoners so much. Therefore, I believe that you must be a good person, so..."

" I don't believe you'd harm my father," Muyao said after a moment of hesitation."

"What if your father wants to harm me?"

Muyao was taken aback and waved her hand.""No, no, Big Father likes you very much. He definitely won't harm you."

"What if? If your father wanted to harm me, which side would you stand on?"

"I... I... I won't let this happen!"Muyao suddenly shouted.

"En ~ Although it's nonsense, I quite like this answer. Sure, I won't kill you for the time being."

Muyao was delighted to hear that. She felt that they had a secret in common, and a big one at that. Compared to the man just now, the Emperor trusted her more than ever, which made her feel sweet.

"Emperor…Emperor, can I ask you a question?"

"No." Jiang Beiran rejected her outright.

"Just one question! Just one!"

Muyao shouted, pointing a finger at him.

"Zhen is going out for a while. Clean up the study room."Jiang Beiran left without looking back.

Muyao snorted and looked at Jiang Beiran's back.""It's you, it must be you!"

..

A moment later, a figure descended from the sky in the imperial garden and landed in front of Jiang Beiran.

"Cult Master Yin." Jiang Beiran cupped his hands and bowed.

"Where's the name list?" Yin Jianghong asked.

"Here." Jiang Beiran handed over the name list that Deng Xianghan had given him.

Yin Jianghong took the list and opened it, then put it into her Cosmos Ring without batting an eyelid.

"Sure enough, it was the right choice to let you handle this matter. You did well."After saying that, she tossed a Cosmos Ring to Jiang Beiran and said,""This is the reward I promised you."

Taking the Cosmos Ring, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands and said,""Thank you, Cult Master Yin…In addition, I have something to ask."

"Speak." Yin Jianghong said.

"I wonder how Cult Master Yin plans to deal with that Deng Bo?"

"Deng Bo? He's already dead."

Jiang Beiran had expected this answer, so he was only slightly surprised.

"What's wrong? You want to save him? Or could it be…Those little princesses want to save him?"

"Zhen indeed wanted to plead for mercy on behalf of those princesses."

Yin Jianghong immediately revealed an experienced and evil smile.""It's easy. You don't like small ones?"

'Ugh! You old pervert!

Without waiting for Jiang Beiran to explain, Yin Jianghong regained her composure and said,""This venerable self can clearly tell you that even if that Deng Bo was still alive, this venerable self would not give you this face. The moment he betrayed this venerable self, there was only one outcome for him."

Jiang Beiran immediately understood what Yin Jianghong meant. She was warning him not to take any chances.

Otherwise, his fate would be…You've already seen it.

I understand the meaning of the word 'cond'. Jiang Beiran nodded.

"But his daughters... I can give you face and let them live, but you have to watch them. If they cause any trouble, I will hold you responsible."

"Thank you, Cult Master Yin."

"I heard that you had a conflict with the righteous sects?" Cult Master Yin nodded and continued."

'All of you…You're all well-informed.

Although he was complaining, Jiang Beiran knew that the big shots of Fengzhou had their eyes on him, the new emperor.
