I Just Won't Play by the Book - Chapter 152

Chapter 152 Dual Heroes? 3

After asking the two brothers about the Mo-Yun Duo, Jiang Beiran went back to his table and found Kong Qianqian was leaning her ear towards the storyteller.

“Come on.” Jiang Beiran patted Kong Qianqian’s head and spoke.

“Oh, oh…” Kong Qianqian replied and sat up straight.

Jiang Beiran looked at Mu Yao and asked just in case, “Have you heard of the Mo-Yun Duo in the demonic cult?”

Mu Yao thought for a moment and finally shook her head, “Never heard of them.”

“Alright, let’s go to the next town.”

“I haven’t investigated yet. I’m just sitting here drinking tea.”

“Remember what your father said. This time, I’m in charge of the tactic, so I’m basically the mastermind of the team. You’re in charge of the strength. So, you have to listen to me. Let’s go.”

Hearing Jiang Beiran’s words, Kong Qianqian asked curiously, “Brother Jiang, then what am I in charge of?”

Jiang Beiran glanced at her and said with a smile, “You’re in charge of eating.”

“Hehe, I’m good at this!” Kong Qianqian said with a silly smile.

After leaving Suitong Town with the two people, Jiang Beiran walked toward the Study Bull carriage.

“Ah? Back so soon?”

“Yes, let’s go to the next place,” Jiang Beiran said as he spread out the map and pointed at the location on it. “This time, we’re going to this place, Luoxia Town.”

This was the information that Jiang Beiran had gotten from the two teahouse brothers. The Mo-Yun Duo frequented the vicinity of Luoxia Town the most, so he planned to try his luck.

“Alright, everyone, get in the car.”

Luoxia Town was not too far from here, so they had already arrived before nightfall.

Luoxia Town was still as lively as when Jiang Beiran brought Liu Zijin and the others here for the first time. The streets were bustling and filled with the shouts of the hawkers.

Kong Qianqian heard the shouts of roasted white fruits, Kong Qianqian immediately pulled Jiang Beiran’s sleeve and said, “Sir, sir, I want to eat roasted white fruits.”

“Sure.”

There was no rush after arriving at Luoxia Town. They just had to wait and see if they could meet the Mo-Yun Duo.

He bought a bag of roasted white fruits and handed it to Kong Qianqian. After saying “Thank you, Sir”, Kong Qianqian immediately shared it with her senior sister.

“Something’s off…”

Jiang Beiran thought back to the first time he came to the town. When he first entered the town, he had triggered options for a few times. However, he had been here for quite a while now and did not encounter any disturbances.

Knowing the background of the Yellow Gang, Jiang Beiran was very curious about what kind of dual hero would be able to suppress the Yellow Gang to such an extent.

After bringing Kong Qianqian and buying some plum blossom cakes and baked sweet potatoes, Jiang Beiran found a small tavern and sat down. In Luoxia Town, this tavern was the most chatterbox popular.

As expected, Jiang Beiran had just finished ordering a pot of apricot wine when he heard the news that he wanted to hear.

“Hey, did you hear? I heard that the two heroes are coming back today.”

“Where did you hear that?”

“My brother told me. The news is very reliable.”

“Then we have to go and welcome them. Thanks to the two heroes, my yield is doing well. Otherwise, I would have starved to death this winter.”

“That’s why I’m telling you now, so that we can go welcome them.”

“Alright, then why are we still here? Hurry up and go.”

After the two of them left, Jiang Beiran grabbed the waiter who was cleaning the table and asked, “Hey, waiter, I’m from Antong Town. I’ve always wanted to meet the mighty two heroes. I heard that they often come here, right?”

After hearing that, the waiter immediately said proudly, “That’s right! Our Luoxia Town is the home of the Mo-Yun Duo. They often come here to drink. If you’re lucky, you might run into them.”

“Oh, that’s great. I just heard that they are coming back today. Is that true?”

“That’s not necessarily true. This news is spread every day. But usually, they will come back every three to five days. It should be three days since the they left last time. They probably come back today.”

“I see. Thank you, brother.”

“Hey, it’s no big deal. There’s no need to thank me. Sir, please enjoy your meal.” After hearing the little brother’s words, Jiang Beiran decided to wait for them. He would definitely be able to find the duo here.

“Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!”

“Safe and sound!”

When Kong Qianqian heard the sound of an alarm, she asked while licking her candied haws, “Sir, it’s pretty late now. Aren’t we going to the inn to rest?”

“Let’s wait a little longer.” At this moment, Mu Yao couldn’t help but complain, “It’s so late now. I don’t think they’re coming back.”

“Are you sleepy?” Jiang Beiran looked at Mu Yao and asked.

“I’m not sleepy.” “Then let’s wait a little longer.” Seeing that Mu Yao couldn’t keep her cool, Jiang Beiran smiled and said, “I’m also a little bored. Let’s chat for a while?” “Humph! Who wants to chat with you?” Mu Yao turned her head and said, but she quickly added, “But if you really want to chat, it’s not like I can’t chat with you.”

“Oh, no need. I don’t really want to chat with you either.”

Hearing Jiang Beiran’s reply, Mu Yao realized that she wasn’t angry at all. When she was in the school, no one dared to treat her with such an attitude.

“Sir, can you chat with me? I really want to know why you know so many things?”

“Because I don’t cultivate. I can learn these things with the extra time.”

After hearing this, Mu Yao could not help but interrupt, “You really never cultivate?”

“I tried, but I didn’t have talent. I couldn’t compare to the other disciples, and then I slowly gave up.”

“But you obviously…” Mu Yao stopped mid-sentence.

But when she thought that the person who defeated her brother didn’t have any talent, she was inexplicably angry. However, since Mu Yao didn’t say anything, Kong Qianqian said without hesitation, “But sir, you are obviously so smart. There’s no reason that you don’t have any talent in cultivation.”

“No one has ever said that smart people have talent in cultivation. This is not something that can be forced.”

Kong Qianqian felt a little embarrassed as she felt that she had poked Jiang Beiran’s sore spot. After thinking for a while, she passed the ice-sugar gourd in her left hand to Jiang Beiran and said, “Sir, this is for you.” Jiang Beiran was about to refuse when he heard a loud voice shouting not far away. “The Mo-Yun Duo is back! They’re back!”
