I Just Won't Play by the Book - Chapter 318
318 Who Knows That I Would Encounter Such a Trap?_2
Jiang Beiran took the Void Illusion Barrier and tried to open it. In an instant, he felt as if everything around him had been isolated, and the effect was even better than his Obscure.
However, this was a genuine Black Grade magic treasure. How could his handmade work compare to it?
Putting away the Illusionary Sky Screen, Jiang Beiran handed it back to the young man and said,””It is indeed a good magic treasure. Zhen is very satisfied with your answer this time. We can continue our conversation.”
The young man looked at the Illusion Space Curtain in his hand in disbelief. His mouth was wide open.
‘He…He actually returned it to me? This was a Black Grade Dharma treasure! Even the Mystic Sect wouldn’t have many, but he actually returned them to me so casually!?’
!!
In an instant, Jiang Beiran’s already lofty image in his heart became even more lofty.
To be able to look down on even a Black Grade magic treasure, what kind of expert could reach this realm!?
After the youth in the beast fur coat put away the Illusionary Sky Screen in shock, Jiang Beiran said,””Very good, then it’s time for me to get to know you properly. Tell me your name and sect. I hope you don’t try to hide it, or else you’ll be the one suffering.”
“Understood.” Nodding his head, the young man in the beast fur coat introduced himself.”My name is Su Buqing, and I am the last disciple of the Sect Leader of the Zhen Yuan Sect in the Country of Liang.”
” Oh, the last disciple. No wonder he was given such a treasure.’
This was because the last disciple referred to the last disciple that the master had taken in. In the future, he would not take in any more direct disciples. Instead, it would be the disciple who would take in the disciples and grandchildren.
Generally speaking, the last disciple was also the master’s favorite disciple, so his status among the disciples was very special. There was a high chance that he would inherit the master’s great cause.
Therefore, he was also treated as the successor of the sect.
In addition, Jiang Beiran had also seen this Zhen Yuan Sect in the report that Gu Qinghuan had submitted. It was indeed a top sect in the Country of Liang, and its sect leader, Yan Siyuan, was a Xuanzong-level powerhouse.
Moreover, in a chaotic country like the Country of Liang, those who could become experts were all experienced in battle. They were much stronger than those mysterious sects who purely cultivated in seclusion.
” Yan Siyuan’s last disciple?” Jiang Beiran nodded.” Is he really willing to let you carry out such a dangerous mission?”
Hearing Jiang Beiran call his master an old man, the fear in Su Buqing’s heart grew deeper. At the same time, Jiang Beiran’s question made him feel a little wronged.
His master had given him this mission because he had the Illusionary Sky Screen. This mission was not dangerous, and he could obtain great credit.
After all, when the country of Liang conquered the country of Sheng in the future, as a member of the enemy’s rear, his contribution would be ranked very high.
Moreover, he was usually very cautious. For example, before he came to find the new emperor, he had done a lot of investigation. After confirming that the new emperor was a Qi Refining Realm noob, he had also investigated the inside and outside of the palace and found many hidden sentries. However, in front of his Illusion Sky Screen, these hidden sentries were not worth mentioning.
However, he had never thought that the biggest trap would be the emperor himself.
How long has this trap been set up?
‘How much effort did Yin Jianghong put in to catch him?’
..
Countless questions lingered in his mind, making him extremely flustered.
Putting away the grievances in his heart, Su Buqing replied neither humbly nor arrogantly,”Since you’ve become Master’s last disciple, you naturally have to have the awareness to take on this kind of danger.”
“Good!” Jiang Beiran nodded and praised,” You’re very aware. Not bad, not bad. So, what kind of cooperation did you want to discuss with me this time? You can tell me now.”
“Master is very dissatisfied with Deng Bo’s failure. He thinks that we have given him so many treasures and spirit stones, but in exchange for such a result. Not only him, but the other sect leaders of the other large sects in the Country of Liang are also completely unable to accept this.”
“But at the same time that they couldn’t accept it, Master and the other Sect Masters were also surprised that a mere Emperor of the Sheng Country had almost turned the entire Sheng Country upside down. This made them see the benefits.”
“That’s why Master asked me to come and talk to you about the collaboration as soon as the storm is over. I believe that with the previous experience, we will definitely be able to do better this time.”
“How is it better?” Jiang Beiran suddenly asked.
“This…” Su Buqing was immediately stumped.” Of course, it’s good for you first, Your Majesty. Our country of Liang will also do well.””
“What’s so good about me?”
Hearing Jiang Beiran’s question, Su Buqing wanted to slap himself.
That’s right! The Emperor before him was not Yin Jianghong’s little puppet, but an assassin who was lying in ambush to kill him! Wasn’t he courting death by badmouthing Yin Jianghong?
“Hello, Emperor…Fortunately…I brought many spirit stones and treasures. Please accept them.”
“That’s indeed good.” Jiang Beiran nodded in satisfaction.” Where’s the thing? Bring it to me to take a look.””
“Yes.” As Su Buqing spoke, he took out two Cosmos Rings and handed them to Jiang Beiran.
Jiang Beiran reached out to take it, and after inspecting the contents of the Cosmos Ring, he raised his head and said,””Just this?”
Seeing that Jiang Beiran was not satisfied, Su Buqing quickly explained,””This is just to express our sincerity. If Your Majesty is willing to cooperate with us, I will bring more spirit stones and precious materials to you.”
“Oh, that’s more like it.” Throwing the two rings aside with both hands, Jiang Beiran continued to ask,””We’ve finished discussing the benefits. If Zhen doesn’t agree to cooperate with you, what do you plan to do?”
“Uh…”
It was still the same sentence. Su Buqing had never thought that things would develop like this. He had never thought that the little Emperor would reject him. For a moment, he did not know how to answer.
“Sigh, your last disciple is not thorough. Since it’s a negotiation, all kinds of situations will definitely happen. Next time, be more prepared, understand?”
“Yes… You’re right.”
Muyao nearly burst out laughing when she saw Jiang Beiran scolding Su Buqing like he was his grandson.
At the same time, she was also curious as to why Su Buqing would be so afraid of Jiang Beiran.
” Just one punch and he already feels that the gap between them is so great that he can’t fight? Then the Emperor…How strong is he exactly?
The only reason Muyao had thought that when she explained it to her, she was not lying was because Jiang Beiran was a level five Qi Cultivating who had been personally “appraised” by her father. There was no way she was wrong.
And how could a fifth-stage Qi Disciple find her when even her father couldn’t find her?
Therefore, even though he felt that Kong Qianqian’s explanation was ridiculous, he still forced himself to believe it.
But now that Jiang Beiran had suddenly displayed his strength, she was certain that the mysterious person who had sent the note to her father was him!
Although she did not know why Jiang Beiran would appear in Lanzhou or why he would save her, she was certain that it was him!
Muyao couldn’t help but think back to the days when she was locked up.
During that period of time, she blamed herself. Her eldest father had clearly instructed her many times not to run around, but she still did what she wanted and caused her junior brothers and sisters to be captured together.
Moreover, this was really a light punishment. If her eldest father was hurt because of her, she would definitely not forgive herself for the rest of her life.
Therefore, when her father rescued her and asked her if she knew any clues about that mysterious person.
Aside from surprise and curiosity, Muyao was also grateful.
Because she had already learned from her second father that someone was using her to threaten her first father. Once that person’s scheme succeeded, she believed that her first father would definitely give way again and again for her sake, and even do things that went against his heart.
Therefore, she had already secretly vowed that if she could find that mysterious person, she would do everything she could to repay him, even if she had to go through fire and water and die.
And now…She realized that the benefactor she had been searching for had actually been with her for so long.
This gave her an extremely wonderful feeling, as if her fantasy and reality had fused together.
” Muyao! Muyao!?”
As Muyao was deep in thought, she suddenly heard the Emperor’s voice and quickly reported,””Please instruct me, Your Majesty.”
“The tea is already cold. Go and make some hot tea for the guests.”
“Yes!” Muyao ran off to make tea.
Seeing Muyao start to brew tea, Jiang Beiran looked at Su Buqing and said,””I’m sorry to laugh at you, the palace’s servant girl is so clumsy.”
“No, I won’t.” Su Buqing quickly waved his hand.
“In addition, I thought about it just now and decided to agree to cooperate with your Liang Country.”
Su Buqing’s eyes widened when he heard that. He asked in disbelief,” Emperor, are you serious?!”
“Of course it’s true. If someone wants to give me something for free, why not? It was just that this method of cooperation…It’s up to me to decide.”
