I Just Won't Play by the Book - Chapter 171

Chapter 171 Imposing and Handsome 2

Jiang Beiran had thought of bringing Shi Fenglan along. Although he trusted her quite a bit, he did not plan to reveal all of his secrets. After all, the superpower backing her was too troublesome. If he provoked them, he might not even be able to shake them off.

“No, I already said it’s a secret.”

“Oh…”

Shi Fenglan knew that acting coquettishly was useless against Jiang Beiran, and it might even make him angry, so she could only purse her lips to express her unhappiness.

At this moment, Yu Manwen said, “Is there anything I can help you with?”

“No, I came here today just to inform you guys.”

As the two of them conversed, Shi Fenglan suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Yu Manwen looked around and sighed, “Order Master is looking forward to see you every day.”

“I know, but I do have something to do.”

Yu Manwen couldn’t do anything about Jiang Beiran, so she could only change the topic and talk about the recent events between the Order of Blue Heart and the Order of Water Mirror.

When they were talking about Zhang Heqing raising two pots of camellias, Shi Fenglan ran back with a box in her hands. “This is for you,” Shi Fenglan said as she handed the box to Jiang Beiran. “What’s inside?” Jiang Beiran looked at the box and asked.

“Didn’t I promise to help you find a protective magical item last time? This is it.”

“Oh, thank you.” Jiang Beiran didn’t stand on ceremony and directly took the box and opened it.

It was a five-colored robe.

After shaking the robe open, Jiang Beiran found that the five colors were evenly distributed on each part of the robe.

Seeing Jiang Beiran’s curious look, Shi Fenglan explained with a hint of pride, “This is called the Five Elements Armor. It’s a middle-tier yellow-grade magical item. It can only be used with the compass.” Hearing this, Jiang Beiran looked into the box again and found that there was indeed a five-colored compass inside.

“Next, you just need to turn the compass and you will know how powerful the Five Elements Armor is.”

Nodding, Jiang Beiran picked up the compass and pushed it gently. The five colors in the compass quickly merged together, and the colors in the compass seemed to be competing with each other. In the end, the red color firmly occupied the compass, and the compass slowly stopped.

The moment the compass stopped, the Five Elements Armor on Jiang Beiran’s body turned red, and there was a fierce-looking fire qilin embroidered on his chest.

Shi Fenglan explained in a timely manner, “Now that the Five Elements Armor on your body has been transformed into the fire qilin robe, all the moves that carry the flame mystic energy can’t hurt you. Of course, even if the opponent’s cultivation is much higher than you, it still can’t hurt you.”

“I see.”

At this moment, Jiang Beiran completely understood the function of the Five Elements Armor.

“It’s an all-attribute magic resistance equipment.”

Touching the fire qilin robe that was emitting heat on his body, Jiang Beiran asked, “So, does the defense of the robe against the elements correspond to the color of the compass?” “That’s right.” Shi Fenglan nodded.

“Then what if I can’t turn the compass to the color of earth when I’m dealing with an opponent who specializes in earth mystic energy attacks?”

“Keep turning.”

“Are you serious!?”

“Aiya, powerful yellow grade items always have some flaws. This Five Elements Armor’s defense is very strong. You’ll know once you wear it.”

After hearing this, what else did Jiang Beiran have to say? It was originally given to him. It wouldn’t be good to be too picky.

Therefore, Jiang Beiran closed the box and bowed to Shi Fenglan, “Thank you, Order Master Shi.”

“This is what I promised you. How is it? Do you like It?”

“I like it, of course I like it.”

“Then remember to bring me a gift when you come back.” “Okay, I’ll definitely bring it for you.” “Do you want to reconsider bringing me along?”

“No.”

“Hmm…”

“Alright, let’s continue the game. After this game, I’ll make you all twice-cooked pork.”

“Yay!”

This time, Xiao Duo was the first to raise her hands and shout. Ever since she tasted Jiang Beiran’s dishes, she was even more excited than Shi Fenglan about what delicious food she could eat in the next meal.

“Alright, then let’s quickly end this round.” After saying that, Jiang Beiran threw the dice in his hand.

At noon the next day, Jiang Beiran looked at his right-hand man, who was ready to go, and nodded.

“Have you settled everything before you leave?”

“Yes,” The two answered in unison.

Jiang Beiran, who had also settled everything, nodded and said, “Okay, then let’s go.”

After saying that, Jiang Beiran took out the Cloud-curling Tube from his storage ring and blew out a cloud that was enough to carry three people. “Wow…” Wu Qingce, who was pushed back by the cloud, said in surprise, “Brother Jiang, is this your new magical item?” Having followed Jiang Beiran for so many years, this was the first time Wu Qingce saw his senior brother take out such a magical item.

“That’s not important. Just get into the cloud

now.”

Wu Qingce knew that he had said too much. He nodded and quickly got into the cloud.

“Wow… It’s so soft and comfortable.”

The space in the cloud was completely different from what Wu Qingce had imagined. It was as if he was floating in the air, and it was very comfortable.

After a few simple steps, such as ascending, advancing, and descending, Wu Qingce, who was sitting in the cloud, held back his urge to vomit. He was a little dizzy.

Although Gu Qinghuan tried his best not to remain steady, his sickly pale face had already betrayed him.

“Are they having cloudsick?”

However, Jiang Beiran realized that even he couldn’t bear the pressure when the cloud moved at such a fast speed, let alone the two underlings behind him. They were considered to be in good physical condition if they didn’t spit out their breakfast.

Seeing that the two of them couldn’t even stand steadily, Jiang Beiran took out two heat-clearing pills and handed them to them.

After taking the heat-clearing pills, Wu Qingce’s despondent expression finally eased up a little. At the same time, Gu Qinghuan also became much relaxed.

“Are you better?”

“Much better.” Wu Qingce cupped his hands and spoke.

“Thank you, Brother Jiang.” Gu Qinghuan also exhaled and spoke.

“Then follow me out.”

Luo Wenzhou was afraid of being late, so Luo Wenzhou came earlier to the Lotus Heart Lake where he had made an appointment with his master. When he saw a cloud suddenly fall from the sky, he was momentarily stunned.

However, he wasn’t stunned for long when he saw Jiang Beiran walk out from inside.

“Greetings, Master.” Luo Wenzhou bowed immediately when he saw who it was.

“Master!?” Wu Qingce and Gu Qinghuan were both stunned when they heard that. They didn’t know that their senior brother had a disciple. “Well, you came on time,” Jiang Beiran nodded.

“Master has ordered me. I can’t be late.”

Luo Wenzhou raised his head and thought of the two people behind his master. When he was looking at Wu Qingce and Gu Qinghuan, the latter was also looking at him. Luo Wenzhou wore an indigo robe which had silver thread embroidered with flowing cloud patterns on the collar and cuffs. There was a cyan auspicious cloud ribbon tied around his waist. His jet-black hair was tied up and he wore a small silver crown with jade inlaid on it. The white jade on the silver crown made his hair looked black and smooth like silk.

“He looks imposing and intimidating. His look is only a little worse than Brother Jiang and me, but he’s still quite handsome.”

“You guys should get to know each other first.” After saying that, Jiang Beiran walked to the side so that the three of them would not be so reserved.

Wu Qingce had just concluded that Luo Wenzhou looked a bit less handsome than him and his Brother Jiang. After hearing Brother Jiang, he cupped his hands and said, “Wu Qingce from Sect of Returning Hearts, nice to meet you.”

“Luo Wenzhou from Sect of Qimen.” After saying that, Luo Wenzhou hesitated for a moment before asking, “Should I address you as Master Wu?”

Wu Qingce paused for a moment after hearing that. In terms of seniority, Luo Wenzhou should indeed address him as master, but he really could not accept someone who was almost the same age as him called him master. Luo Wenzhou might even slightly older than him.

“We’re about the same age. Besides, although Brother Jiang and I are apprentices on the surface, we are actually master and disciple. So, you can say that we are disciples of Brother Jiang too.”

“Alright, then I’ll call you Brother Wu.”

“Brother Luo, there’s no need to be so polite.”

Gu Qinghuan, who was standing next to Luo Wenzhou, said to him, “Gu Qinghuan, you can address me as your senior brother too.” Luo Wenzhou nodded and cupped his hands to Gu Qinghuan. “Greetings, Brother Gu.”
