I Just Won't Play by the Book - Chapter 130

Chapter 130 Brother Jiang must Be Alone

“I stand by my point. If we don’t have any evidence, I won’t let you capture my Sect Master and interrogate him.”

“Stubborn!”

Seeing that the two old men were going to quarrel again, Jiang Beiran was worried that he would be affected by them later, so he cupped his hands and said, “I wonder if Cult Master Yin and Sect Master Guan can listen to me.”

Guan Shi’an immediately nodded after hearing this and said, “Okay. If you have anything to say, just say it.”

Yin Jianghong snorted and said, “Just say it.”

Jiang Beiran cupped her hands toward the two men and said, “Actually, when I proposed to find Yu Yangrong’s accomplices, I didn’t think of capturing them in the Sect of Masked Moon. When they found out that their companions were captured and their plan was exposed, they would definitely become more cautious. It will be very difficult to catch them right now.”

Guan Shilan nodded after listening to her. “Then, what do you think we should do?”

“The demonic cult and the righteous section will each arrest a disciple and tell everyone that the suspects have been captured. Then, we will carry on with the Gathering of Young Heroes.”

Upon hearing this, Yin Jiang Hong came to a realization. “We’re doing this so that the real spies will let down their guard?”

Jiang Beiran cupped his hands. “Correct. Cult Master Yin, you are really wise.”

He turned his head and looked at Guan Shi’an, Yin Jianghong said, “I understand what this kid means. We have the name list in our hands now, we just need to keep an eye on these people on the list. We can even catch more people who want to cause trouble through these people on the list.”

“That’s a clever idea.” Guan Shi’an nodded. “As long as they are still in Fengzhou, we can still control the overall situation. We are indeed not in a hurry.”

Looking at Jiang Beiran again, Yin Jianghong asked, “When you say that we will arrest one disciple each, are you referring to the people on the list… or did we arrange it ourselves?”

“Of course, we will arrange it.”

“Hahahaha, alright, we’ll do as you say.”

[ Chosen quest completed. Reward: Divination + 1]

As soon as Yin Jianghong finished speaking, Jiang Beiran heard the system notification and knew that his mission had been completed.

“Finally, I don’t have to suffer anymore…”

Since the system notification popped up, it meant that he had led the two big shots on the right path. Next, he had to think of a way to escape.

At this moment, Mu Yao looked at Jiang Beiran with surprise. This person was obviously a hundred times weaker than her, but with just a few words, he was able to stop the two mystic masters from quarreling. It was simply unbelievable.

Then, Yin Jianghong pulled Jiang Beiran and began to discuss what to do after the various sects and sects returned.

But in this discussion, Jiang Beiran only replied with, “I think Sect Master Guan’s words make sense”, “I think Cult Master Yin’s words make sense” and “I can’t think of what to do about this either.”

After hearing Jiang Beiran said, “I can’t think of how to do this either” again, Yin Jianghong finally asked, “It’s your idea, how could you don’t know what to do?”

After hearing this, Jiang Beiran quickly cupped his hands and said, “I apologize. I really can’t think of it.”

“What happened to your cleverness just now?”

“I’m just a little quick-witted. We need the two of you to control the overall situation.”

Yin Jianghong went speechless after listening to Jiang Beiran. He felt that Jiang Beiran was just pretending. Jiang Beiran had shown his intelligence just now, and he was the one who came up with this idea. He did not believe Jiang Beiran.

Seeing that Yin Jianghong still wanted to speak, Guan Shi’an waved his hand and said, “Well, Beiran has already helped us a lot. Do you really plan to rely on this little disciple to help us complete all our plans?”

“I’m not counting on him. I am training him. He’s a good seedling. His talent would be wasted if he stays in your righteous sect.”

“Hehe, you don’t have to worry about his training. We naturally know what to do.” After saying that, Guan Shi’an looked at Jiang Beiran and said, “Beiran, go back and rest first. If there’s anything, we’ll call you again.”

“Yes.” Jiang Beiran cupped his hands at the two magnates and then turned around to leave.

After Jiang Beiran left, Yin Jianghong looked at Guan Shi’an and said, “Do you think this kid is hiding his talent?”

“You’re pushing him too much. You can’t expect a disciple like him to take care of everything. Besides, if he really wants to hide his talent, he shouldn’t have said anything in the beginning. Since he wants to show his intelligence in front of the two of us, he will naturally do his best. He doesn’t have to hide

it.”

“It makes sense… but I still feel strange.”

After saying that, Yin Jianghong turned to ask Mu Yao, “What do you think of this Jiang Beiran?”

Mu Yao thought for a moment and answered, “I don’t know…”

“Oh, interesting.” Yin Jianghong knew that if he asked Mu Yao her opinion on Jiang Beiran before this, she would answer, “He’s just a little smart.”

But now, her opinion of Jiang Beiran had obviously changed. After taking a sip of tea, Yin Jianghong looked at Guan Shi’an and asked, “Hey, which family is this Jiang Beiran from?”

“I have no comment.”

“Tsk, fine! I’ll investigate it by myself.”

Before Guan Shi’an could warn Yin Jianghong to not have any idea on Jiang Beiran, Yin Jianghong had already left with Mu Yao.

On the second day, things began to develop as discussed yesterday. Two disciples were taken away with the identity of suspected spies. Of course, they were just cooperating with the two leaders.

The crisis was resolved, and the Gathering of Young Heroes was held as usual. Everything returned to normal.

“Ah !!

Stretching his waist, Jiang Beiran stood at the window and watched the people coming and going outside. He sighed in his heart, “This trip is too exhausting.”

If Jiang Beiran were to evaluate his own performance this time, then he could say that he was forced to stand out and amazed everyone.

He had been a low-key named disciple of the Sect of Returning Hearts for five years, but now he had gotten attention from two top-level bigwigs of Fengzhou. He did not like it at all.

“Brother Jiang, are you going to watch today’s match?” At this time, Mo Xia, who had already set up the Go board, looked at Jiang Beiran and asked. His eyes filled with anticipation.

“I’m not going.”

Now that the Sect of Masked Moon’s crisis had subsided, the two big shots could manage the follow-ups themselves. For the remaining time, he decided to stay at guest house until everyone forgot about him.

Hearing that his senior brother was not going, Mo Xia immediately said excitedly, “Then let’s play Go.”

Jiang Beiran knew that Mu Jiuri would come to him for a game again. So, he still wanted to train Mo Xia so that Mo Xia could block Mu Jiuri off. He then nodded and said, “Alright, count the pieces.”

“Thank you, Brother Jiang!”

On the other side, Fang Qiuyao sighed in front of the mirror in the room for a long time.

“How could I have become so timid!”

When she saw Yu Guishui thank Jiang Beiran the day before yesterday, Fang Qiuyao was actually quite envious. However, she felt that the time was not right, so she did not go forward to say it,

After that, she had been thinking of waiting for an opportunity to find her senior brother, but she suddenly realized that the reason why she couldn’t thank her senior brother like Yu Guishui was because she was afraid.

She was afraid that after she thanked her senior brother, she would have no reason to find her senior brother again.

“What should I do so that I can get close to Brother Jiang…”

However, Fang Qiuyao glad that Jiang Beiran was alone most of the time during this trip, which meant that her senior brother wasn’t targeting them, but everyone. “Dong! Dong! Dong!” “Qiuyao, it’s me.”

Hearing Liu Zijin’s voice outside the door, Fang Qiuyao stood up and walked over to open the door.

“The match will start in the afternoon. Do you want to watch it together?”

Fang Qiuyao thought for a moment and asked, “Who’s fighting today?”

“Mu Jiuri of the demonic cult and Wang Yanqing of the Sect of Masked Moon. The one who wins will be fighting with Brother Wu tomorrow.”

“Oh, that’s something to see. Let’s go quickly.” After saying this, Fang Qiuyao turned around and closed the door.

At this time, the three Yu sisters who had just walked out of the room ran over and said to Liu Zijin, “Sister Zijin, do you think Brother Jiang will agree if we invite him to watch the match?”

“What do you think?” Liu Zijin said with a smile.

“We feel that Brother Jiang is quite easy to talk to these two days, and he often greets the people in the hall.”

Liu Zijin shook her head. “Have you all forgotten the third rule?”

Yu Guishui thought for a moment and nodded. “Right, Brother Jiang doesn’t like places with many people…” But Liu Zijin thought about it. “But today, everyone should be going to watch the match… So, there should be no one in the guest house.”

The three sisters immediately nodded.

“Yes, and it’s very likely that Brother Jiang didn’t go to watch it.”

“I think he didn’t go to watch the match!”

“I think so too, I think so too.”

At this moment, Liu Zijin looked at Fang Qiuyao and said, “So, Qiuyao, do you want to find Brother Jiang?” Fang Qiuyao thought for a moment and finally nodded vigorously. “Yes! I want to go!”

“Okay, then it’s decided!”

“Da, da, da”

In the afternoon, the sound of falling Go pieces could be heard continuously in Jiang Beiran’s room.

But very soon, Mo Xia’s hands stopped. He was thinking about his next move.

Jiang Beiran was not in a hurry and just sat there waiting for him.

While Jiang Beiran was thinking about whether he should make a cup of tea, he suddenly heard a series of footsteps walking towards him. If it was under normal circumstances, Jiang Beiran would not care too much about it. But today was the day of the match. All the other disciples had gone out, and the sound of footsteps was very sudden.

Hence, he used his mind power to scan and realized that it was Liu Zijin and the other three.

“That’s fine. I’m planning to look for them too.”

Hence, Jiang Beiran said to Mo Xia, “Take your time to think about it. I’m going out for a while.”

“Ah? When will you be back?” Mo Xia asked. “When I should be back, I will be back.” After saying that, Jiang Beiran pushed open the door and walked out.

These words made Mo Xia freeze.

“Brother Jiang, your words are always so profound…”

Outside the door, Liu Zijin and the other three were poking their heads out as they walked in the corridor. Although the match had just started and there should be no one in the guest house, they still have to be careful.

“The five of you, is there anything you need from me?”

Just when Liu Zijin and the others were a few meters away from Jiang Beiran’s room, a voice suddenly sounded behind them.

“Ah!”

The five girls were so frightened that they almost fell to the ground. They hurriedly hugged each other and looked at their senior brother in shock.
