I Just Won't Play by the Book - Chapter 138

Chapter 138 Unintentional Praise

But just as he was about to open his mouth, a system notification popped up.

( Option 1: Continue to reject Yin Jianghong and Guan Shi’an. Reward for completion: Light Cloud Celestial Axis (low tier earth grade)]

[ Option 2: Introduce other disciples to Yin Jianghong and Guan Shi’an. Reward for completion: Moon Shattering Mystery Scroll (middle tier black grade)]

[ Option 3: Agree to this. Reward for completion: Random basic skill points + 1]

“What the f*ck…”

Although Jiang Beiran expected that he would trigger option if he wanted to reject them, he still felt grief when he saw the option really pop out. “As expected, I’m suitable to die in the sect!!!’

After choosing option 3, Jiang Beiran could only cup his hands and said, “Since the two of you think so highly of me, I will definitely go all

out.”

“Alright!”

The two magnates nodded in satisfaction.

[ Chosen quest completed. Reward: Calligraphy + 1]

After hearing the system notification, Jiang Beiran knew that it was already a done deal. He cupped his hands and said to Yin Jianghong, “I have a favor to ask of Cult Master Yin.”

Yin Jianghong, who was in a good mood, smiled and said, “Feel free to say it.”

“Can you let Mu Jiuri travel with me instead of Mu Yao?”

“Hmm?!”

Yin Jianghong and Guan Shi’an were stunned at the same time.

In fact, Guan Shi’an already understood Yin Jianghong’s intention to promote. He was trying to pair up Mu Yao with Jiang Beiran. In addition to the plan that he had already discussed, he felt that it would be a good opportunity. However, he did not expect Jiang Beiran to make such a request.

In Guan Shi’an’s impression, whether it was his own disciple or the disciples of other sects, they all dreamed of a partner. However, this little friend… was really different from the rest.

After carefully sizing up Jiang Beiran for a while, Yin Jianghong asked, “Didn’t I ask Yaoyao to shake hands with you last time? Are you still afraid that she will harm you?”

“No, it’s just that I think Brother Jiuri’s cultivation is higher, and it’s more likely that he will fulfill your request.” As he spoke, Jiang Beiran tried his best to act as if he wanted to hug his thigh.

“Oh-” Yin Jianghong nodded and said, “I’m afraid that won’t do. After my eldest son was defeated by Wu Qingce from your sect, he has already bid me farewell and gone back to cultivate in seclusion. I’m afraid we won’t be able to see him for a while.”

“D*mn it! Why did he run so fast!? It seems that the fight really gives him a huge blow.” Jiang Beiran was surprised how fast Mu Jiuri acted.

“I see that Miss Mu and Brother Jiuri are very close. Didn’t she go back with her elder brother?”

“Hey, that girl knew that once her brother went into seclusion, he would see nobody including her. She would only be anxious if she went with him, so she simply stayed by my side.”

After saying that, Yin Jianghong narrowed his eyes and stared at Jiang Beiran for a while. He said with an unhappy expression, “Why? Do you think that my Yaoyao is not pretty enough? I feel that you are very reluctant.”

It was obvious that Yin Jianghong adored his daughter very much. Jiang Beiran quickly cupped his hands and said, “I have no such intention. Your daughter is elegant and graceful. She is a rare beauty in this world.” Yin Jianghong nodded with satisfaction. “Then it’s settled. I will tell Sect Master Lu about this with Sect Master Guan.”

“Sh*t!”

Jiang Beiran knew that he would anger this big shot if he refused again, so he cupped his fists and said, “Thank you Sect Master Guan, Cult Master Yin, for taking care of me.”

“Well, you can go back now. We will discuss the details when Yaoyao comes tomorrow.”

Jiang Beiran cupped his hands at the two magnates and left the sect master’s residence. “Now that things have come to this… I can only hope that the Missy will make a scene and ruin this matter. However, if I provoke her now, it’ll seem too deliberate. Cult Master Yin will see through my trick, and then nothing will change.’ “Sigh, I’ll let nature take its course. If it really doesn’t work, I’ll just get rid of that Yellow Gang as soon as possible…”

After returning to the guest house, Jiang Beiran sensed Wu Qingce’s mystic energy before he even went upstairs. Therefore, he went around to the back of the guest house and brought him to a secluded corner where no one was around.

“You played well today. Your performance was much better than I expected.” Wu Qingce was elated when he heard that. He cupped his hands and said, “It’s all because of Brother Jiang’s good cultivation. I just…”

“Enough, enough with these empty words. Weren’t you supposed to be drunk at the banquet today like those sect masters? Why did you come to my place?”

“Sect Master Guan left earlier for some unknown reason. The other sect masters also dispersed early.”

“Then did Sect Master drag you to drink two more cups?”

“He did! I drank with him before I find you. Sect leader said that we will celebrate again after we go back.” After saying this, Wu Qingce’s tone suddenly became much more excited. He continued, “This time, I came to look for you because I have two things to report to you.” “Which two things?”

“First, before Sect Master left the banquet hall, he told me that because I had defended the honor of the righteous sect this time, he wanted to give me a great reward. He let me go to the Sect of Masked Moon’s treasury to pick some things that I like.”

After hearing this, Jiang Beiran nodded and said, “I originally thought that Sect Master Guan would reward you with a yellow grade magical item after you had made such a great contribution to the righteous sect. Now it seems that it’s gone.”

Since Sect Master Guan let Wu Qingce chose whatever he liked, then it definitely wouldn’t be a very powerful warehouse. At most, it would only be a variety of peerless tier weapons and tier 4 and tier 5 spirit medicines.

“I’ve just asked. There are quite a number of medicinal materials, ores, talisman papers, and other materials in the storage ring of the treasury. I’ve come here to ask you to make a list for me. At that time, I’ll also know what to exchange for.”

“Materials… this is not bad.”

Jiang Beiran nodded and took out a pen and a piece of paper from the storage ring. He wrote down some of the things he needed on it.

“When you go there, ask if there are any materials listed on this list. If there aren’t, you can take some medicinal materials.”

“Yes.” Wu Qingce took the list with both hands and put it into the storage ring.

“What’s the other thing?”

“The other thing is…” Wu Qingce pulled out Levin as he said, “After defeating Mu Jiu today, I feel that Levin is a little different from before. It seems like… It has been trying to communicate with me.”

“Weapon spirit!”

Jiang Beiran was shocked. Normally, it would take a long time to cultivate a weapon spirit. However, it had not been long since he gave Levin to Wu Qingce? He managed to cultivate a weapon spirit just like that?

Although Jiang Beiran knew that Wu Qingce was talented, there was no genius who could cultivate a weapon spirit in such a short time.

“I didn’t expect this kid is this lucky… But I didn’t think his luck was that good before. It’s all concentrated on this explosion?”

“Good thing. This means that Levin’s weapon spirit is waking up. You can try to sense it with your mystic energy more often.”

Hearing his senior brother say that it was a weapon spirit, Wu Qingce was overjoyed. He quickly bowed and thanked him, “Your forging skills are indeed the best in the world!”
