I Just Won't Play By The Book
chapter-422

After finishing the last bit of dragon bud tea in her cup, Lin Yuyan smacked her lips and peeked at her senior brother.

"What do you want to say?" Jiang Beiran asked after being stared at for a long time.

"Senior Brother…Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure."

Lin Yuyan's eyes sparkled in the dark night.

"Senior Brother actually agreed?"

Lin Yuyan had originally opened her mouth with the mentality of being scolded because she knew very well that her senior brother hated it when others asked about him. However, this time, she was too curious and could not help but open her mouth.

However, she never expected that her senior brother would actually agree to her request.

'This…Does this mean that Senior Brother has already acknowledged me as his wife? Is this what you call revealing your true self?

In an instant, Lin Yuyan found that her senior brother was so handsome and serious. His determined face seemed to be saying to her,"Yu Yan, since we are going to live together in the future, we must understand each other first. If you have any questions, just ask."

" Ah, Senior Brother, should we start physical communication after this spiritual exchange? If I knew this would happen, I would have worn my yellow undergarment. Fortunately, I took a shower before I left. Should I go back and spray some peach blossom dew?'

Looking at Lin Yuyan's dazed expression, Jiang Beiran knocked on the table and said,""Do you need to think for so long?"

The knocking on the table woke Lin Yuyan up from her fantasy of being placed in such a position. She wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and said,"What I want to ask is…Senior Brother, were you really born and raised in Sheng Country?"

"This isn't even a jump option?"

If it was in the past, if someone wanted to inquire about his past, the system would definitely pop up an option at the first moment and directly refuse or muddle through. However, this time, there was no such thing. It could be considered a first.

Could it be that the system has quietly upgraded?'

Without further contemplation, Jiang Beiran put down his teacup and asked,""Why do you say that?"

Lin Yuyan took a deep breath and asked carefully,""Actually…Actually, I always thought that Senior Brother was an itinerant cultivator from the Central Plains…"

"Rogue cultivator?" Jiang Beiran's eyes were filled with doubt again.

"Yes." Lin Yuyan nodded." Because you're really not like the frogs in the well in the Sheng Kingdom. Other than cultivation, you know almost nothing else. You're as knowledgeable as the cultivators in the Central Plains, and you're unfathomable…" So... So I guess

Are you a rogue cultivator from the Central Plains? For some reason, you came to the Sheng Nation to stay. But from your questions just now, you seem to... Have you really never been to the Central Plains?"

As soon as Lin Yuyan finished speaking, three options appeared in front of Jiang Beiran.

[Option 1:"I have never been to the Central Plains."Completion reward: Brocade Cloud Gu Manual (Earth Grade Low-Rank)]

[Option 2:"This is not something you should be concerned about."[Completion Reward: Ferocious Spirit Mystic Art (Black Grade High Rank)]

[Option 3:" I have indeed forgotten something."[Completion Reward: Random Basic Attribute Point +1]

'Good fellow…You're a fraud now?

The intention of the third choice was obvious. He was trying to act like an expert.

"This is suddenly getting interesting."

After choosing the third option, Jiang Beiran stared at Lin Yuyan with a pair of eyes that were 20% profound, 30% mysterious, and 50% able to see through the world, and replied,""I have indeed forgotten some things."

[Mission completed. Reward: Charm +1]

"What the hell?!"

Jiang Beiran, who was already used to seeing Strength, Agility, and Constitution, almost jumped out of his skin. It had been six years! This was the first time he had seen the charm attribute increase.

'System…You didn't really level up secretly, did you??If so, can you say something?

However, as usual, the system did not give him any feedback.

However, the various signs did show that the system was different from before.

While Jiang Beiran was still in shock, Lin Yuyan was once again in ecstasy.

'I must be the first person to know Senior Brother's secret! Senior Brother, could it be... Are you finally going to open your heart to me and then fly away together? What should we call our first child? If it's a boy, call Jiang Xiaoyu. If it's a girl…'

While Lin Yuyan was thinking about her daughter's name, she suddenly woke up and looked at her senior brother.""Senior Brother, don't worry. I swear I won't tell anyone about this."

Jiang Beiran didn't respond, but continued,""When did you start to think that I'm a wandering cultivator from the Central Plains?"

"When I found out that you knew everything, Senior Brother."

"Tell me in detail."

"Just like I said, the cultivators of the Sheng Country are a bunch of frogs at the bottom of a well. They only know how to cultivate, but they don't know that it's useless to just cultivate. Only someone like you who is proficient in the 16 Arts of the Celestial Sect of Wonders can become a true expert."

'Mysterious Gate…Sixteen Arts. This was the first time Jiang Beiran had heard of this term.

After some thought, Jiang Beiran asked,""What are the 16 Arts of the Celestial Sect of Wonders?"

Lin Yuyan seemed to have expected her senior brother to ask this question, so she immediately answered,""Beastmaster, Talisman Master, Spirit Wine Master, Insect Master, Spirit Tea Master, Mystic Cloak Master, Mystic Building Master, Universe Master, Formation Master, Traps Master, Weapon Refinement Master, Mystic Pattern Master, Jade Refinement Master, Illusionist, Mystic Musician."

"These are the 16 Celestial Arts of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, also known as the Mystical Arts. In the Central Plains, every cultivator would try to learn as many Mystical Arts Arts as possible because every Mystical Art has the possibility of comprehending the supreme Great Dao."
