I Just Won't Play By The Book
chapter-387

"Yes." Jiang Beiran continued to nod.

"Hiss…" Ji Qinglin took a deep breath and then burst into laughter.

After laughing for a while, Ji Qinglin said,""I had this feeling from the moment I saw you. Your brain is more or less the same as mine."

Jiang Beiran looked straight at him and smiled, but did not reply.

He took out a fine red rosewood cigarette stick from his pocket, lit it up, put it into his mouth, and took a puff. Ji Qinglin sized Jiang Beiran up and said,""Are you planning to tell Old Yin about this after hearing it?"

As soon as Ji Qinglin finished speaking, two more options popped up.

[Choice 1:"You must be joking, Cult Master. Of course I won't go back and tell you."[Completion Reward: Zhaowu Ghost Book (Earth Grade Low-Rank)]

[Option 2: Yes.] [Completion Reward: Random Special Attribute Point +1]

"So profitable!?"

Jiang Beiran was so happy that his eyes almost narrowed when he saw another Special Attribute Point.

However, this option…He really didn't follow the rules at all.

After choosing the second option, Jiang Beiran nodded and said,""Yes."

[Mission completed. Reward: Spirit +1]

When he saw that the Special Point he had added this time was the Spirit of Words, the joy on Jiang Beiran's face became even more obvious. After all, Jiang Beiran believed that Divination and Spirit of Words had the highest potential.

"Cough…Cough!"

On the other side, Ji Qinglin, who was choked by Jiang Beiran's reply, only recovered after a while.""Are you crazy?"

"I was just telling the truth."

"Interesting. You're so sure that I'm not worried that you'll tell Old Yin about this?"

"Yes." Jiang Beiran nodded." First of all, including this time, I've only met Cult Master Ji twice. There are only two reasons why you're discussing such a big matter with me. First, you're not afraid that I'll tell others about this matter. Second, if I don't agree to your request, you'll kill me. However, I don't think Cult Master Ji is such a reckless person."

"So confident?"

"It's just the truth."

In fact, through this conversation and a few system options, Jiang Beiran realized that Ji Qinglin didn't really want to kill Yin Jianghong. He just wanted to satisfy his craving. Jiang Beiran was quite curious about the relationship between the two of them.

Ji Qinglin took another puff and said,""No wonder master specially wrote a letter to call you over when we encountered the miasma. You are indeed very special. Alright, seeing that you are telling the truth, I will tell you what exactly happened between me and master. Tsk, where should I start…"

Ji Qinglin sucked on the cigarette stick," Forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it.""

'Huh? I've already prepared the popcorn, and you're leaving just like that!?'

As he watched Ji Qing leave the tent without turning back, Jiang Beiran suddenly felt as if he had met his match.

Outside the camp, people from all sides were returning to the temporary camp one after another. When Meng Sipei walked to the entrance of the camp, dozens of cultivators from Lanzhou greeted her.

"Sect Leader Meng, are you alright? There was a maze in the miasma just now, so I lost you. I've been looking for you, but I couldn't find you."

"Sect Master Meng, I've prepared some high-quality Heavenly Earth Pills for you. They can help you get rid of the miasma poison in your body and help you recuperate."

"Sect Leader Meng, you look a little haggard. Are you injured? I know some ways to remove poison. Why don't we go into the house and check it out?"

"Where did this toad come from? Come, come, come. Tell me what method you know to remove poison. You still want to go into the house with Cult Master Meng? I think you have bad intentions!"

"Who are you? What does my conversation with Cult Master Meng have to do with you?"

Just as the two were about to quarrel, Meng Sipei walked straight through the crowd without even looking at them.

"Hmm?"

Everyone was a little puzzled. Usually, even if Sect Master Meng rejected them, he would not ignore them like this. What was going on today?

" Could it be that he's seriously injured?'

"Pei 'er, why do you look so dejected?"Just as Meng Sipei was wandering aimlessly in the camp, a loud voice rang in her ear.

Meng Sipei came back to her senses and raised her hand to Wan Anqing."Grandmaster."

Wan Anqing nodded and said," I heard Cult Master Yin say that you've contributed greatly to getting rid of the miasma this time. Well done, well done.""

Meng Sipei hurriedly shook her head and said," Sipei only did some trivial things. It's really not enough to claim credit. This time, the miasma poison can be removed all because of..."

"Shh…Wan Anqing made a gesture to keep quiet." We'll talk about this later. Follow me first.""

"Yes." Meng Sipei cupped her hands and followed Wan Anqing to a large tent.

Opening the curtain, Meng Sipei saw Yin Jianghong and Guan Shi 'an as soon as she entered. After greeting them, she bowed to Yin Jianghong,"Thank you Cult Master Yin for saving me in time just now. Otherwise, Sipei would probably have lost her life to return here."

"Even if I didn't do anything, that expert would have saved you." Yin Jianghong waved her hand."

Meng Sipei felt a mix of emotions after hearing that. At the same time, she felt a sudden tightness in her chest.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

Meng Sipei coughed a few times and felt her body become much weaker. She could not even stand properly.

Wan Anqing quickly helped her sit down and checked her pulse.

After a while, Wan Anqing frowned and said,"Your body is overdrawn."After saying that, he looked at Yin Jianghong and the others and said,"I'll take her to recuperate first. We'll postpone the meeting for now.""

"That's good too." Yin Jianghong nodded."

However, Meng Sipei waved her hand and said," I can still hold on. You guys want to know what happened after I met that senior, right? It's not too late for me to go and recuperate after I finish talking.""

Without waiting for Wan Anqing to refuse, Meng Sipei told him how she had been saved by that senior, how she had found the core of the array, and how she had broken through the array.

Meng Sipei didn't let go of any other details.

".. Thus, I guessed that he was also an Outsider. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so clear about the weakness of the person who set up the formation."

Yin Jianghong nodded and said,"I see…" Then everything makes sense."
