I Just Won't Play By The Book

Chapter 89 Biding Farewell Was Like Setting Up a Death Flag

“I’ll leave the rest to you.”

After leaving these words for Gu Qinghuan, Jiang Beiran returned to the Sect of Returning Hearts by himself.

The next morning, Wu Qingce came to the back of the mountain in a rush. As soon as he saw Jiang Beiran, he asked, “Brother Jiang, are you also going to participate in gathering of young heroes this year?”

“Did you only hear about it today?”

“Yes. The day before yesterday, when I returned to the hall and informed the Order Master that I had broken through to the great mystic practitioner realm. Order Master then brought me to a secret room and taught me new moves and internal cultivation method. I only came out today.”

“So, you are now your Order Master’s private disciples?”

“This is all thanks to you.” Wu Qingce immediately cupped his hands.

“This is the result of your own hard work. So, are you here for something?”

“Oh, I came to tell you that I have also been selected by Order Master as a participant in the gathering of young heroes. In addition, Order Master said that I have a high chance of becoming the team leader for the competition.”

“Oh? Then I should call you captain.”

“Don’t!”

“I still have to call you captain, and you call me senior brother. We’re not much different.”

Without waiting for Wu Qingce to reply, Jiang Beiran continued to ask, “I’m afraid there’s a deeper meaning for letting you be the team leader this time, right?”

“You’re right.” Wu Qingce nodded. “Order Master said that if I can get a good ranking at the gathering of young heroes this time, he will recommend me as the chief disciple.”

The so-called chief disciple was the one who performed the best among the younger disciples of the same generation. The resources that he received was far better than other disciples of the same generation, but the pressure was also very great. After all, the other disciples of the same generation would all covet this position. At that time, there would be people cause troubles in any means just to snatch the position.

“Just a good ranking? They didn’t request you to be the champion, interesting. It sounds like your Order Master doesn’t have much confidence in the number one disciple of the Rivernorth District. Could it be that the Sect of Masked Moon has someone even more powerful?”

“Just as you said, Order Master told me that the Sect of Masked Moon has a level three great mystic practitioner who is only eighteen years old. His talent is extremely high. In addition, Ning Yi region’s Sect of Black Sun and Long Hong region’s Sect of Heavenly Judge also seem to have quite powerful disciples.” “A level three great mystic practitioner who is only eighteen years old? That’s indeed quite powerful. This Sect of Masked Moon, its master and disciples want to show off their strength in this gathering. They have a lot of confidence.”

“I…” Hearing Jiang Beiran’s words, Wu Qingce cupped his hands and wanted to say something, but he hesitated.

“You want to defeat them?”

“Yes!” Wu Qingce nodded firmly and looked at Jiang Beiran with anticipation.

“Then why aren’t you going to practice? Why are you still standing here?” “Ah?” Wu Qingce was stunned for a long while before he shouted, “Yes, I’m going to practice right now.”

Seeing Wu Qingce run down the mountain, Jiang Beiran couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, “We’re still not certain if this competition could be carried out or not.”

In Jiang Beiran’s extremely strong sense of crisis and all sorts of preparations, more than a month’s time passed in a hurry. In another two days, he would set off to the Sect of Masked Moon for the mystic master’s birthday.

“Hahahaha! Little Beiran, you’ve walked into my Drunken Immortal Restaurant! Give me money, quick! This is a large manor-level inn, you have to give…” Shi Fenglan picked up the “land deed” and glanced at it, “Give me two taels of silver!”

“Here you go.” Jiang Beiran took out two silver notes with [ one tael ) written on them and handed them to Shi Fenglan.

“I’m rich – I’m rich

“

After dancing for a while with the banknotes in her hand, Shi Fenglan picked up the dice and threw it forcefully.

“Five!”

She picked up her Chain Fairy and walked five steps on the board. However, when she was about to reach the last point, Shi Fenglan refused to lower her hand.

“Welcome to Flying Cloud Villa.” At this moment, Jiang Beiran pressed down the Chain Fairy in Shi Fenglan’s hand with a smile.

“Because Yuming Port and Lingzhang Palace are both mine, you have to pay triple. In addition, my Flying Cloud Villa has two state-owned hotels. In addition, it’s a chain operation, so I’ll charge you a total of… twelve taels of silver.”

“Ah!” Shi Fenglan screamed, “This is a scam!”

“I don’t care whether it’s a scam or not, hurry up and pay.”

“Ugh…” Shi Fenglan picked up the banknote in front of her and counted it for a while, then said aggrievedly, “Including what you just gave me… I only have six taels of silver in total.”

“Very good, you’re out of business.” Jiang Beiran picked up a piece of paper and pasted it on Shi Fenglan’s face. Then, he stood up and stretched.

“One more game! One more game! It’s so fun to be the richest woman in the world.” Shi Fenglan said as she swiftly picked up the game board.

“Let’s call it a day. I’m going to the Sect of Masked Moon in two days. I still need to make some preparations.”

Putting down the colorful banknote in her hand, Shi Fenglan raised her head and looked at Jiang Beiran. “Ah? I didn’t realize it. Time flies so fast”

“Yes, it’s already late autumn.” Jiang Beiran said as he put the game board back into his storage ring

Shi Fenglan said with a downcast expression, “How long will you be going this time?”

“I don’t know. It depends on the arrangement of Sect of Masked Moon. But I think it’s ten days to half a month.”

“No! It takes so long.” Shi Fenglan pouted even more when she heard that. “Then, Little Beiran, can you leave the game board to me? I can still play with Xiao Duo.” Just as Shi Fenglan finished speaking, two options popped out in front of Jiang Beiran’s eyes.

[ Option 1: Leave the game board to Shi Fenglan. Reward for completion: Heaven’s Fate Rope (yellow grade high tier)]

[ Option 2: Reject Shi Fenglan’s request. Reward for completion: Random basic skill points + 1] Therefore, Jiang Beiran looked at Shi Fenglan’s extremely eager eyes and said, “No.”

[ Chosen quest completed. Reward: Calligraphy + 1]

“Why?! I promise you that only two of us will play the game!”

“I don’t trust you. Also, let me emphasize one more time. If you find someone else to play the game with you, I won’t come here anymore.” Jiang Beiran said directly.

Shi Fenglan always wanted to find another “playing buddy”. From the system’s option, if Jiang Beiran left the game board to them, he would probably be killed before he came back.

“Humph! Why don’t you don’t believe me! I won’t talk to you anymore.” Shi Fenglan turned her head away angrily. “Okay, then I’ll leave first.” Jiang Beiran said and walked out of the door.

“Hey!” Shi Fenglan turned her head and grabbed Jiang Beiran’s clothes, “Can you come back early? I’ll be nice.”

Shi Fenglan sighed and said, “It’s not up to me.”

“Okay, wait a minute.” Shi Fenglan took out the box under the table and handed it to Jiang Beiran. “Here, the Immortal Feather Dress is for you. Remember to protect yourself.” “Thank you, Order Master.” Jiang Beiran took the box and bowed. “Also… This is for you.” Shi Fenglan took out a brocade box from under the table and handed it to Jiang Beiran.

“Soul baby fruit?” Jiang Beiran asked in surprise.

“Yes, I have a really fun time in the past two months. This is the reward I promised you.”

“Thank you.” Jiang Beiran nodded and was about to take it when he saw Shi Fenglan suddenly pull back her hand and look at Jiang Beiran pitifully, “You won’t come to play with me after you accept the soul baby fruit, right?”

“No, I will come again.”

Shi Fenglan cheered up a little, but Jiang Beiran then added, “But I won’t come here very often.”

“You don’t have to be so honest!” Shi Fenglan said as she stuffed the brocade box into Jiang Beiran’s arms. “Hmph, in any case, I still have other treasures. When you back come from the Sect of Masked Moon…”

“Don’t say it!” Jiang Beiran hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Shi Fenglan from continuing

He was originally targeted by the will of this world, and now he had to rush to a dangerous place which might get him killed. If he were to set up another death flag, then he probably wouldn’t be able to survive the crisis this time.

“I’ll leave now. If you have anything to say, wait for me to come back.” After speaking, Jiang Beiran waved his hand and left the house. However, the moment he left the house, he suddenly realized. “Sh*t, I just set up a death flag for myself!”
