I Just Won't Play by the Book - Chapter 101

Chapter 101 There Was Always Someone Who Was Extremely Confident

“Greetings, Elder Xu!”

When the disciples of Sect of True Martial saw who it was, they immediately walked out of the guest house and bowed to him. After understanding the identity of the old man in front of him, Wu Qingce, who was a junior, cupped his hands and said, “Wu Qingce, greets Elder Xu of Sect of True Martial.”

Wu Qingce’s polite attitude made Xu Jingqiu unable to continue to fly into a rage, he said, “Logically speaking, I shouldn’t have interfered in the matters between you juniors. However, you directly came to my door and wanted to take my disciple in front of so many people. Do you have any respect to our sect?”

“Since Elder Xu has said so, then I will take my leave first.”

After Wu Qingce finished speaking, he directly turned around and left according to Jiang Beiran’s voice transmission, causing everyone present to be stunned. He left just like that!? Shouldn’t they be arguing? This drama ended too abruptly.

Xu Jingqiu did not expect Wu Qingce to leave just like that. For a moment, he wanted to open his mouth and stop him, but what could he do? Could he bully a junior in front of so many people? Could he really do anything to him?

Thus, all kinds of emotions finally converged into anger toward his own disciples. As he had just said, it was best to leave the disputes between the juniors to be resolved by themselves. It was no wise to let an elder interfere the affair of the juniors. Otherwise, there would be rumors spread around saying that he bullied a junior. Hence, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he could only watch as Wu Qingce left.

“Let’s go in first.” Xu Jinggiu resisted the urge to directly scold the disciple who had been defeated in public. He chased all the disciples back to their guest houses and closed the door.

Seeing that there was nothing to see, the surrounding disciples dispersed one after another. However, they were still talking about what had just happened on their way back. A Rivernorth District disciple who had seen Wu Qingce before said to his junior brother, “I didn’t expect Wu Qingce to be so domineering. He actually came knocking on their door directly.”

Over the course of the day, there were quite a number of incidents where people would fight at the slightest disagreement in the park. However, most of them ended after the fight. Needless to say, those who lost the fight were embarrassed to tell their Sect Master. They would just hold the grudge in their hearts. They would find an opportunity to take revenge later. It was the first time that Wu Qingce had directly come knocking on their door today. “Yeah, but it’s really satisfying. Those nouveau riche people in Riversouth District are always so arrogant and full of themselves. Now they have suffered a big loss. Let’s see if they dare to be so arrogant and despotic in the future. However, the disciples of Riversouth District are also famous for seeking revenge for the smallest grievance. If they have an opportunity in the future, Wu Qingce will probably suffer a big loss.” “Of course, he has to pay the price for showing off. Besides, what does this have to do with us? Let’s go, let’s go, let’s continue eating.”

“This is so satisfying, hahaha!”! Brother Wu, those Sect of True Martial disciples were all scared silly by you just now. Not a single one of them dared to make a sound. I’m impressed! I’m extremely impressed!” At this time, Qi Cheng, who had already returned to his own guest house, had a face full of admiration.

Wu Qingce waved his hand and said, “The matter has just begun. Go and call those injured disciples over and follow me to see Sect Master.”

“Ah?” Qi Cheng was stunned, “Do we still need to report this matter to Sect Master?”.

“If that the elder of Sect of True Martial didn’t show up, then it will still be a dispute between the disciples. However, since their elder had suppressed us, then it has escalated into a dispute between two sects. If Sect Master finds out that we have suffered this loss, he will only blame us for not reporting it to him.”

“I see! You’re right! Then I will go and call out those injured junior brothers now.”

When Qi Fu went upstairs, Wu Qingce had just turned around when he found his senior brother sitting in front of the mahogany square table in the hall drinking alone.

“Well done. Now, after you have clarified the matter, you will go to Sect Master and tell him what I taught you.”

“Yes, Brother Jiang.”

After Wu Qingce finished speaking, he no longer looked in Jiang Beiran’s direction.

After Wu Qingce left the guest house with a group of injured junior brothers, Jiang Beiran shook the wine cup in his hand and sighed, “Messy, messy is good.

In the morning, when Jiang Beiran discovered all sorts of “farce”, he had used his mind power to scan the entire park. In the end, just as he had expected, he found several great mystic practitioners patrolling everywhere,

y were obviously arranged by the Sect of Masked Moon.

The Sect of Masked Moon’s Sect Master had long thought that a group of vigorous disciples living in a garden would definitely cause some commotions. However, when the “farce” happened, those great mystic practitioners did not directly make a move. Instead, they watched from the side. It was very obvious that as long as no one died, they would not make a move.

In this way, Jiang Beiran roughly understood the meaning of the Sect Master of the Sect of Masked Moon. He was very happy to see the disciples of the various sects fighting with each other. As long as it did not harm their lives, they could make a mess as they pleased. The bigger the mess, the better.

As for why he did this, Jiang Beiran analyzed that it was because these disciples had made a big enough mess. Sooner or later, it would be spread to the Sect Masters of the various sects, and it was impossible for the Sect Masters of the various sects to make a big fight in his territory. In the end, they would definitely invite him out to uphold justice. The more Sect Masters looked for him to uphold justice, the more they would be able to consolidate his position as the number one sect in Fengzhou. Then, it would not be in vain for him to invite all the large and small sects in Fengzhou in one go.

After knowing that the Sect of Masked Moon’s Sect Master did not mind the various sect disciples causing trouble, Jiang Beiran also made the decision to let Wu Qingce to pick up a fight. Firstly, it would allow Wu Qingce to establish his prestige among the most elite group of disciples of the Sect of Returning Hearts. Secondly, Sect Master Lu would be very happy with Wu Qingce’s boldness.

Of course, these were all his own guesses, so this action could also test if the system option would be triggered once the Sect of Returning Hearts became the first to “stand out”. If the options were triggered, this meant that the Sect of Masked Moon Sect Master was playing a bigger game of chess, and Jiang Beiran could also make more targeted preparations in advance.

If it wasn’t triggered, then Jiang Beiran could temporarily confirm that this Sect of Masked Moon Sect Master wasn’t the reason why he was “forced” to participate in this gathering of young heroes. Killing three birds with one stone, why not. After drinking the wine in one gulp, Jiang Beiran couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, “The feeling of hiding behind the scenes is the best.”

Different people did the same thing would lead to different outcome. Jiang Beiran, who was deeply aware that he was targeted by the will of this world, could almost be sure that Wu Qingce was able to escape unscathed when he picked up the fight. However, if it were him, he would definitely be hated by a certain Sect of Masked Moon disciple, and then he would be “greeted” in all sorts of ways.

And this was also one of the important reasons why Jiang Beiran had originally planned to take in errand boys.

While Jiang Beiran was drinking by himself, Ye Xincai slowly walked down the stairs. When she saw Jiang Beiran in the hall, her eyes instantly lit up.

Because of the existence of a few senior brothers, on the way to the Sect of Masked Moon, she, Liu Zijin, and the others had never stopped arguing, especially those triplets. They seized the opportunity to tease her a few times, making her extremely angry.

It wasn’t that Ye Xincai didn’t have any friends. On the contrary, she had a great appeal in the Order of Water Mirror. But her purpose of making friends was that the other party couldn’t be more outstanding than her. So, her best friends and sisters had all failed in the selection this time, which was why she was alone.

“Hmph! You little foxes, you’re still too inexperienced to fight with me!”

Previously on Qiyun Peak, she had already confirmed that Liu Zijin and the others definitely had special feelings for this Senior Brother Jiang. After probing him, she also discovered that this ordinary-looking senior brother seemed to be a little special.

She had used the best move in the [ book of flirting ], [ accidentally tripping art ] for so many years, but this was the first time she had been defeated. She had never expected that Brother Jiang would actually avoid her and make a fool of herself.

But after analyzing it for a long time, she realized that the reason why Jiang Beiran wanted to avoid her was because he knew that he wasn’t good enough for her. That was why he had nervously avoided her when she threw herself into his arms. After that, she made a fool of herself because of him, that was why he didn’t dare to come and apologize. “That must be it!”

After confirming her guess, Ye Xincai decided to change her route to flirt with this shy senior brother who wasn’t very confident of himself.

And the most important thing was that she couldn’t approach him when there were many people around, or else he would definitely run away nervously. And now, the entire hall was empty, and only Jiang Beiran was sitting there alone. It was the best opportunity to launch an attack!

Ye Xincai took out a plum blossom-shaped huadian from her storage ring and stuck it between her eyebrows. After arranging her hair, she was about to go downstairs when she suddenly remembered Senior Sister Lin Yuyan’s terrifying expression that made her hair stand on end.

“That must be an illusion… I must have seen it wrong!”

Although she was still a little scared, in order to teach Liu Zijin and the other little foxes a lesson, she still walked down the stairs resolutely and came before Jiang Beiran.

She adjusted her voice to the gentlest tone. Then, she smiled and said to Jiang Beiran, “Brother Jiang, do you mind if I sit here?”

Jiang Beiran, who was thinking about something, was suddenly interrupted. He raised his head and looked at Ye Xincai. Immediately, three options appeared in front of him.

( Option 1: Help Ye Xincai move out the chair and invite her to sit down. Reward for completion: Embroidered Cloud Palm (black grade middle tier)]

[ Option 2: “Of course I don’t mind.” Reward for completion: Lone Dragon Secret Manual (low tier of black grade)]

[ Option 3: “I don’t mind.” After saying that, stand up and leave the hall. Reward for completion: Random basic attribute points + 1]
