I Just Won't Play By The Book
chapter-56

After an exhausting day of lessons, the disciples of the Order of Ink and Language were packing up their calligraphy tools and preparing to go back and continue their practice.

“Mu Mu, let’s go back together.” a female disciple dressed in a blue muslin dress walked up to Lin Yuyan and said.

“Okay.” Lin Yuyan, who was packing up her brush, raised her head and smiled.

“Ah, I’m cured. Mu Mu, your smile has become my motivation to live.”

“That’s too exaggerated.” Lin Yuyan put the brush into the storage ring and stood up. “Alright, let’s go.”

After Lin Yuyan and her friend walked out from the Tranquil Pavilion, the male disciples looked at their back with an envious expression.

“I really want to go back with her too.”

Then, Lin Yuyan hadn’t even taken a few steps when she saw a few young girls running towards her in a group.

“Sister Lin!”

“It’s you guys. What’s wrong?” Lin Yuyan asked the few junior sisters who were running towards her with a smile.

Seeing Lin Yuyan looking straight into her eyes, the junior sister who was leading the group was so nervous that she froze. Her mind was filled with words that she had prepared, but she couldn’t say them out loud.

She was so anxious that the few junior sisters behind her pulled on the corner of her clothes.

As if she was already used to this kind of situation, Lin Yuyan smiled and said, “No rush, take your time to think.”

Gulp… She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, the junior sister who had been comforted by Lin Yuyan mustered up her courage and handed over a brocade box. “Sister Lin, thank you very much for giving us all full marks. We have clearly been holding you back… This is a little gift from us. We hope that you will like it.”

“I think you guys performed very well. You’re much smarter than when I went down the mountain for my first trial back then.”

As Lin Yuyan spoke, she thought of her senior brother’s perfect guidance when she went down the mountain for the first time, as well as all kinds of silent and considerate assistance. It really made her feel very safe.

“Senior brother.”

Thinking of Jiang Beiran’s handsome side profile, Lin Yuyan was momentarily stunned.

The surrounding disciples who stopped and quietly looked at Lin Yuyan also took a deep breath.

“Too beautiful… I don’t know what she’s thinking about, but she shows such an infatuated expression. It must be something even more dazzling than a gemstone.”

“Mu Mu, Mu Mu? Can you hear me?” Seeing that Lin Yuyan did not give a response, the female disciple wearing a blue muslin dress gently tugged on her sleeve and shouted. “Ah, sorry, I was immersed in the beautiful memories from the past.” Lin Yuyan said as she took the brocade box and asked, “Can I open it and have a look?” The four junior sisters nodded their heads repeatedly. “Ka.”

Lin Yuyan opened the box and found that inside was actually a golden spirit pearl.

“Wow…” the female disciple in the blue muslin dress covered her mouth and let out a cry of surprise.

This spirit essence pearl had the effect of improving the spiritual essence in the surrounding environment. As long as one put one in the room, it was equivalent to turning their own room into a place full of spiritual essence for cultivation. It could be said to be a rather rare treasure.

After closing the brocade box, Lin Yuyan looked at the four junior sisters and said, “Actually, compared to cultivation items, I love to eat delicious snacks made by you guys. Can I exchange this with the snacks?”.

After hearing this, the four junior sisters blinked twice. Then, the leading junior sister immediately took the brocade box that Lin Yuyan handed back and said, “Okay, we’ll go back and make it now! We’ll send it to you tomorrow.”

“Okay, I’m looking forward to it.” Lin Yuyan smiled and nodded.

“Thank you, senior. Goodbye!” After saying that, the leading junior sister pulled her other four companions and ran away.

“Wow, that’s the spirit essence pearl. I wonder which aristocratic family these little junior sisters came from. They’re so generous.”

Lin Yuyan smiled and did not reply. She continued to walk forward, attracting the surrounding disciples who could not help but sigh in admiration in their hearts, “She could still remain calm after receiving a treasure like the spirit essence pearl, only a fairy can do it. I’m already fell for her.”

“Hello, Sister Lin.” “Sister Lin, you’re so amazing. You’re amazing in the tournament, you are my role model! I will work harder to become like you!”

“Sister Lin, I believe that you will definitely get first place next year. We will always support

you!”

On the way back to the Fragrant Ink Garden, almost all the disciples of the Order of Ink and Language who saw Lin Yuyan would greet her or congratulate her. Lin Yuyan would also smile and return the greetings. “Mu Mu is still so popular today,” the female disciple in the blue muslin dress said as she held Lin Yuyan’s arm. “I told you it was just an ordinary greeting.” Lin Yuyan stretched out her finger and poked the female disciple in the blue muslin dress. “Hurry up and go back. I’ll come to find you when I’m hungry.”

“Okay, then I’ll go back first.”

Seeing that Lu Ningxin had returned to her room, Lin Yuyan didn’t go back to her room, but quietly went to the back mountain.

As a disciple who could represent the Sect of Returning Hearts to participate in the sect tournament, Lin Yuyan’s strength was naturally enough to apply for a cultivation place in the back of the mountain, especially the one with more abundant spiritual essence.

Passing through a forest, Lin Yuyan impatiently walked into a bamboo house. Her face was filled with anticipation.

“Hu…”

Standing in front of an iron wooden box, Lin Yuyan took a deep breath. Then, she slowly squatted down and opened it.

When she saw a straw hat and a pair of straw shoes lying quietly in the box, Lin Yuyan’s heart was almost overflowing with joy.

“Senior brother really came!”

Lin Yuyan reached out to take the straw hat out of the box. She took it in front of her and took a deep breath.

“Hmm… it’s senior brother’s smell.”

With a flushed face, Lin Yuyan was intoxicated for a long time before she looked at the iron wooden box again. She found that there was a piece of burnt cloth, a piece of paper, and a small blue cloth bag under the straw hat.

Lin Yuyan put the straw hat on her head and took out the paper first. “Senior brother’s handwriting is getting better.” As a disciple of Order of Ink and Language, Lin Yuyan had seen many famous calligraphies, but none of them could compare to senior brother’s.

“You can wear this when we meet in the future.”

After reading the line of words on the paper, Lin Yuyan instantly flushed. “Senior… senior brother… he actually asks me out! This… is he going to propose to me? Awww!’

Lin Yuyan was about to hit the box with her right hand, but when she remembered that the box was opened by her senior brother, she hurriedly ran out of the small house and slapped a huge rock outside. She was so strong that she left a deep palm print on the rock.

After venting her overwhelming excitement, Lin Yuyan returned to the hut and took out the seared cloth and straw sandals to put on.

Looking at her new image in the bronze mirror, Lin Yuyan made a few poses and revealed a smile.
