I Just Won't Play by the Book - Chapter 185

Chapter 185 You Owe Me Your Life 2

“Shut up.” Jiang Beiran glared at Hong Yaxuan and spoke.

In an instant, Hong Yaxuan shut her mouth tightly,

“From now on, I’ll ask and you’ll answer. Do you understand?”

Since the previous option had already stated that he would need to know Hong Yaxuan in the future, it was better to finish the training as soon as possible so that it would be more convenient to use her in the future.

Upon hearing Jiang Beiran’s question, Hong Yaxuan nodded her head vigorously. “Name.”

“Hong Yaxuan.”

“How old are you?”

“Thirteen years old…”

“How many people do you have in your family?”

“Fifteen… No, I… I’ll count…”

After answering more than ten questions, Jiang Beiran was almost done and said, “I saved your life today.”

“Yes.” Hong Yaxuan nodded hard. “I am very grateful.”

“Okay, remember this. If you dare to refuse me when I ask you to do something, I will take your life back.”

“Yes! I will obey you.”

“Listen, the first thing I want you to do is not to tell anyone what you saw today. I will keep an eye on you.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Also, settle those girls down.” Jiang Beiran gestured to the women behind him with his eyes.

Hong Yaxuan was a little surprised, but she immediately nodded and said, “I will take care of it.”

“Remember, I will keep an eye on you.”

After saying that, Jiang Beiran stood up and walked to Luo Wenzhou’s side to pat him. “Have you recovered?”

Luo Wenzhou immediately opened his eyes and replied, “Yes.”

“Go and kill that person who was sent flying by you, and then dispose of the body.”

“Yes.”

After saying that, Luo Wenzhou stood up and pulled out the sword on his waist. He walked to Peng Qing’s side and stabbed him with the sword.

“Then I’ll leave the rest to you. Don’t let me down again.”

“Yes, please rest assured, Big Brother.” Luo Wenzhou turned around and cupped his hands towards Jiang Beiran.

When Jiang Beiran disappeared at the door, Hong Yaxuan’s heart that had been hanging in the air finally settled down. She was really afraid that Jiang Beiran would kill her as well.

After dragging Peng Qing’s body to Tu Jiang’s side, Luo Wenzhou took out an energy recovery pill from his storage ring and handed it to Hong Yaxuan. “Eat it, it’s good for your recovery.”

“Thank… Thank you.” After taking the pill and swallowing it, Hong Yaxuan quickly felt that her chest felt much better, and even her breathing became smoother.

Hong Yaxuan, who was finally able to stand up, bowed to Luo Wenzhou and said, “I’m sorry… I almost caused you to lose your life. It’s all my fault.”

Luo Wenzhou shook his head after hearing that. “It’s okay, I’m also responsible for what happened.”

Then, Hong Yaxuan raised her head and looked around before bowing again. “Also, please say thank you to your Big Brother for me. I was too scared just now… so I forgot to say it.”

“Yes, I will tell him.”

“Is he this big shot? Even the superior mystic practitioner is not his match, and he is still so young. Is it…”

Hong Yaxuan was halfway through her sentence when she saw Luo Wenzhou make a gesture to silence him.

“Shh, if you still want to live, don’t ask these questions anymore.”

After hearing that, Hong Yaxuan looked at the three cold corpses on the ground, she quickly nodded and said, “I won’t ask anymore, I won’t ask anymore.” After saying that, she clasped her hands together and bowed to the surrounding people. “You are magnanimous, please spare me this time. I won’t ask anymore. I won’t ask anymore.”

Seeing that Hong Yaxuan had completely lost the arrogance that she had when she first met him, Luo Wenzhou couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. “As expected of Master, Hong Yaxuan will definitely obey whatever Master

says.”

“In a sense, she has been completely controlled by Master. What a brilliant method.”

After sighing, Luo Wenzhou looked at the women who were still nervous and said to Hong Yaxuan, “Stop bowing, let’s get down to business first.”

“Okay, I’m coming.”

At noon the next day, Luo Wenzhou had almost finished dealing with the follow-up matters. He decided to return to the small hill. He cupped his hands towards Jiang Beiran, who was cooking soup, and said, “Master, I’m back.”

Jiang Beiran raised his head and glanced at Luo Wenzhou. He asked, “Have you dealt with the corpse of that scar-faced man?”

“Yes.” Luo Wenzhou nodded.

“Well, you’re not so stupid after all.”

Hearing this, Wu Qingce, who was washing vegetables at the back, could not help but perk up his ears. This was because this sentence of “not so stupid after all” was usually meant for him.

“Looks like I’m not the only one who’s stupid.”

Suddenly, Wu Qingce, who felt that he had found a good friend, decided to have a talk with Luo Wenzhou later. He wanted to know what had happened so that his senior brother called Luo Wenzhou stupid.

“Master…”

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Beiran asked.

“This is the self-reflection letter that I wrote. Please take a look.” Luo Wenzhou took out a stack of paper and handed it to Jiang Beiran.

Reaching out to take it, Jiang Beiran nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll look at it.”

After bowing to Jiang Beiran again, Luo Wenzhou said, “Thank you for saving me this time, Master. I won’t make such a stupid mistake again in the future.”

Jiang Beiran revealed a satisfied smile and said, “Well, go and rest. We’ll eat later.”

“Yes.” After saying that, Luo Wenzhou walked into the tent.

Seeing his big brother’s satisfied expression, Wu Qingce nodded while he was chopping vegetables.

“Writing a self-reflection letter… I didn’t know there was such a move. I’ve learned it.”

An hour later, Gu Qinghuan, Wu Qingce, and Luo Wenzhou sat at the dining table together.

Gu Qinghuan had returned in the morning. From his report, Jiang Beiran had gained a new understanding of Jiyuan Town. At the same time, Gu Qinghuan had also established his own network in Jiyuan Town according to his instructions.

He picked up his chopsticks and knocked on it. Jiang Beiran looked at the three of them and said, “Eat.”

“Yes.” The three of them answered at the same time and picked up their chopsticks to eat.

What Jiang Beiran made today was basin mutton. A pot of mutton soup was bubbling, and the jade- like white mutton fat was boiling.

After taking a sip of the fragrance of the mutton soup, Wu Qingce lifted his chopsticks and pushed away the warm and fragrant yellow soybean in the “mist”. The mutton in the pot was already thoroughly cooked and smoldering. It was a delicacy that would melt in one’s mouth after a sip. After scooping another spoonful of the soup into his mouth, Wu Qingce could not help but smile.

The soup was fresh and sweet, but not fishy It was refreshing and fragrant on the tongue. After one mouthful, he felt his body was warm and very satisfied.

He picked up a small piece of mutton from the bowl and put it into the dipping plate. After the mutton was covered by the sauce made by his senior brother. All kinds of flavors burst out when he put it into his mouth. It was so delicious that he could even swallow his tongue.

After swallowing the mutton, Wu Qingce closed his eyes and smacked his lips. “Brother Jiang, there are star anise, fennel, vine in your sauce…”

“Just say it’s delicious as usual. There are six kinds of ingredients in total, and you’ve already said three wrong ones.”

“Ugh…” Wu Qingce, who failed to flatter Jiang Beiran, scratched his head and drank another mouthful of soup. “Delicious! So delicious!”

Shaking his head with a smile, Jiang Beiran couldn’t help but think of Kong Qianqian’s tongue.

“Come to think of it, it’s a kind of skill that she can guess all the spices every time.”

When all the dishes on the table were gone, Jiang Beiran put down his chopsticks, looked at Wu Qingce, and said, “You can go to the Ye family tomorrow.”

“Yes.” Wu Qingce nodded.

Since they came by cloud, they wouldn’t go so fast normally. Therefore, Jiang Beiran asked Wu Qingce to wait for two days before going to the Ye family. Now that he counted the days, it was about time.

Then Jiang Beiran looked at Gu Qinghuan and said, “Qinghuan, you must bring Wenzhou to make a name for yourself in Jiyuan Town within ten days.”

After hearing that, Gu Qinghuan cupped his hands and said, “Yes, Qinghuan, I understand.”

Finally, he looked at Luo Wenzhou and Jiang Beiran said, “Your task is to follow Qinghuan and read and learn well. Do you understand?”

“Yes, your disciple understands.”

“Well, then go and rest. We’ll set off early tomorrow morning.”
