I Just Won't Play By The Book
chapter-78

“System… Something is wrong with you.”

Seeing that the safest option was not to reject Lin Yuyan, Jiang Beiran was completely sure that his guess was correct. He had to put in 1,200% effort to participate in the gathering of young heroes this time. After choosing option 3, Jiang Beiran transmitted his voice to Lin Yuyan, “What reward can you give me?”

“What reward can you give me?”

This sentence was like a sharp arrow that pierced through Lin Yuyan’s chest.

“Brother Jiang, he… he… he actually agreed!?”

“And he said six words!”

When Lin Yuyan asked this question, she had never thought that Jiang Beiran would agree to her, so she was stunned. After a long while, she finally reacted and sent a voice transmission, “I will definitely give you a reward that suit your need, but can you give me some time to think about it?”

Seeing Jiang Beiran nod in the room, Lin Yuyan suddenly stepped on the small stone beside her feet and crushed it. Only then did she suppress her excitement.

Just as Lin Yuyan was thinking about what to say next, a small black shadow shot towards her.

Lin Yuyan caught it quickly and found that she had grabbed a small bamboo tube. She opened it, and inside was a note written by her senior brother.

( Wait at the pavilion outside of Anliang Village at 5-7am the day after tomorrow. )

Controlling her slightly trembling body, Lin Yuyan transmitted her voice, “Thank you, Brother Jiang. I will definitely be there on time.”

Jiang Beiran nodded after listening and closed the door.

After reading the words on the note again and again, Lin Yuyan confirmed that this was a date!

“Will he make a solemn vow next? Or will he propose to me? What should I prepare for the dowry? Will father… No, he must agree!’

Feeling her heart beating wildly, Lin Yuyan left the Order of Blue Heart with light steps.

The next morning, Jiang Beiran returned to the back of the mountain before the Order of Blue Heart became lively. When he passed by the formation room, he used his mind power to sense Wu Qingce inside. He discovered that the mystic energy in Wu Qingce’s body had begun to transform, the purity had increased by a lot.

“Although he’s a bit rough in handling matters, his talent is really not bad.” There were very few people in the Sect of Returning Hearts who could become a great mystic practitioner before the age of twenty. Jiang Beiran could already foresee that the sect would definitely allocate more resources to him in the future.

After leaving quietly, Jiang Beiran went to the courtyard next to him to take a look at Yu Ling Long’s condition.

After observing the color of the stamen for a while, Jiang Beiran was sure that it was almost ready to be pollinated.

Nodding his head in satisfaction, Jiang Beiran took out a diamond bottle from his storage ring and dripped two drops of dark golden juice into the stamen. This would allow it to absorb the spiritual essence more easily.

After doing some other daily work, Jiang Beiran went down the mountain and went to the Order of Water Mirror.

“Good morning, Brother Jiang.”

Xiao Duo, who was sweeping the floor at the door, immediately greeted Jiang Beiran with a smile when she saw him. “Good morning.”

After greeting him, Jiang Beiran was just about to walk in when he heard a conversation coming from the main hall.

“There’s a guest?” Jiang Beiran looked at Xiao Duo and asked.

“Yes, he’s a disciple of the Sect of Crimson Afterglow.”

“A disciple of the Sect of Crimson Afterglow?”

Although Jiang Beiran was a little puzzled as to why Shi Fenglan would personally receive a disciple of another sect, he did not ask any further and directly walked into the courtyard. Since there was a guest in the main hall, he went to take care of the flower beds in the courtyard first.

Putting on his straw hat and holding a small shovel, Jiang Beiran squatted down in front of a red flower.

After about ten minutes, Shi Fenglan and the disciple walked into the parterre while chatting. At the same time, Shi Fenglan raised her voice.

“I’m sorry, Qiuyan. Originally, I wanted to ask a very reliable disciple to escort you back to your sect, but he was busy! He was so busy that even I, the Order Master, could not command him, so…” “Order Master, you’re too polite. It’s not my first time go to the Sect of Returning Hearts, why would I need any guards?”

Hearing Shi Fenglan deliberately raise her voice to emphasize the word “busy”, Jiang Beiran knew that she was mentioning him, so he raised his head and looked at her.

“Good lord… Looks like this is the one who triggered the low tier black grade option.’

A tall female disciple stood in front of Shi Fenglan. Her long black hair was tied up in a bun, and she used a jade hairpin to tie it up. She then inserted a golden hair stick into the bun, and the long-beaded jewelry dangled down and swayed in the middle of her hair. Looking down to her face, one could see that her eyebrows were black without any trace, and her skin was as white as snow without the need to apply any powder. Her lips pursed, and she looked as beautiful as a flower. Her bright yellow dress was wrapped around her body, and her jade-colored ribbon was tied around her waist, revealing her elegant figure.

“She really is a dangerous person.”

Sighing in his heart, Jiang Beiran continued to lower his head and shovel the soil.

When Shi Fenglan walked out, her eyes had been looking in Jiang Beiran’s direction, so when she saw him raise his head, she immediately smiled and said, “Things are different now. Recently, the area at the foot of the mountain has been very chaotic. I’m worried to let a beauty like you travel to there on your own.” “Order Master, you must be joking.”

“I’m not joking. When I went to the door to pick you up, I saw the male disciples of our order didn’t even move their eyes when they saw you.”

“That’s because they saw Order Master, right?”

“How could I not tell who they were looking at? Sigh, it’s such a pity. If that disciple knew that he had lost such a good opportunity, he would definitely cry so much that he wouldn’t be able to sleep for several nights.”

As Shi Fenglan spoke, her eyes kept drifting towards Jiang Beiran’s direction. However, she discovered that the Jiang Beiran was undistracted as he fiddled with the flowers and plants. He didn’t even have the intention to look at her.

At this moment, the female disciple of the Sect of Crimson Afterglow also cupped her hands and said, “Order Master, please don’t make fun of me anymore.”

Seeing that Jiang Beiran didn’t respond, Shi Fenglan indeed didn’t have the intention of continuing to “provoke” him. She then said to Qiu Yan, “Then I’ll send you off here. You must be careful when you go back.”

“Yes. Thank you for your concern. I’ll take my leave now.”

After Qiu Yan said that, she cupped her hands and turned around to leave the Tinglan Waterside Pavilion.

When she was far away, Shi Fenglan ran all the way to Jiang Beiran and said, “You’ll regret it, Little Beiran. I was going to ask you to escort Qiu Yan back. Oh, it’s the female disciple that I sent away just now. But it’s your fault for not wanting to hear my good news.”

“Thank you for your good intentions, Order Master Shi, but I don’t have the fortune to enjoy it.” Seeing that Jiang Beiran did not show any signs of regret, Shi Fenglan did not feel any joy. She could only snort and say, “Today, Law Protector Yu is not here. Little Beiran, hurry up so that we can start playing earlier!”
