I Just Won't Play by the Book - Chapter 400
400 Senior Brother Returns
Gui Water Poisonous Ganoderma, Mountain Cleaving Spirit Bone, Grayflame Nether Ginseng…
Looking at the various precious materials Su Xiuyu had brought, Jiang Beiran almost burst out laughing.
These were all things that Jiang Beiran had requested as a collaborator of the State of Liang. Moreover, these were not benefits that Jiang Beiran had requested for himself. Instead, they were used to rope in the various sect leaders and cult masters.
As for the sect leaders and cult masters, they were all at least at the Xuan King level, and ordinary precious materials would definitely not be able to move their hearts. Therefore, Jiang Beiran could naturally ask for a reasonable and sky-high price. After all, all these sacrifices were to drive a wedge between the righteous and demonic paths, and eventually take over the entire Sheng Kingdom. It was only right to spend some capital.
Jiang Beiran put the few Cosmos Rings aside and nodded in satisfaction.””I know that you are a person who can do good deeds. If you continue to maintain this, you will benefit greatly.”
!!
“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Su Xiuyu kowtowed.
“You may leave.”
“Yes.” Su Xiuyu replied and retreated to the door of the study room. He opened the Illusion Sky Screen and left.
Taking another sip of hot tea, Jiang Beiran turned to Muyao and asked,””Have you encountered any difficulties in marking the memorials recently?”
Hearing the emperor’s sudden concern, Muyao felt a sweet sensation in her heart, but she still looked proud.””How can such a small matter stump me?”
“Very good.” Jiang Beiran nodded affirmatively.”I’ll be leaving for a while. I’ll leave the matters in the palace to you.””
After saying that, Jiang Beiran walked towards the backyard.
Muyao was still in a daze. She blinked, wondering if she was working for him for free.
When they arrived at the backyard, Jiang Beiran could already see the six-tailed fox leaning against the wall of the formation, waving its six tails wildly.
“Master, master, master, you’re finally back.”
Looking at the excited little fox, Jiang Beiran took out a Purple Crystal from his Cosmos Ring and threw it at it.
When the six-tailed fox saw this, it immediately jumped up and opened its mouth to bite the purple crystal. Then, just as it was about to happily swallow it into its stomach, it realized that more crystals were thrown at it.
Five, ten, twenty…
In the end, when the six-tailed fox saw the small mountain of crystals in front of it, it couldn’t help but gape. The purple crystal in its mouth fell to the ground, and its body couldn’t help but retreat.
“This… Is this the last one?” The six-tailed fox asked nervously.
Before Jiang Beiran could reply, Fox Liu wailed,””Did that stinky old man come early? Is he trying to kill me? Wuwuwu, Master, Xiaoxiao is your pet. You have to save me. Wuwuwu, Xiaoxiao doesn’t want to die…”
“Xiaoxiao…? When did you start calling yourself that again?” Jiang Beiran asked.
“Mother said…A cute and small name would arouse the owner’s desire to protect her. Did the owner think that Xiaoxiao sounded good? If it doesn’t sound good, I’ll change it to Huanhuan, Xiaoni, Caicai, or whatever Master likes.”
“Your mother really taught you a lot of things…” Throwing another crystal into the formation, Jiang Beiran explained,””No one wants to kill you, but I’m afraid I don’t have time to come over recently. I’ll prepare more food for you.”
Hearing that she did not have to die, the six-tailed fox heaved a sigh of relief. It wagged its tail again and said,”Is Master in trouble? Do you need Xiaoxiao’s help? Xiaoxiao knows everything.”
However, as soon as she finished speaking, the six-tailed fox immediately added,”Other than drawing that design, anything else is fine.”
“Are you sure?” Jiang Beiran asked, sizing up the Six-Tailed Fox.
“Even if he doesn’t… Xiaoxiao will also learn diligently. Xiaoxiao is very smart! Mother had always said that Xiaoxiao was the smartest child.”
“If you can undo this array yourself, I think you can help me.”
“Xiao Xiao…Xiaoxiao…Wu…” As if she had hit the nail on the head, the six-tailed fox’s eyes began to tear up as she spoke.
Shaking his head, Jiang Beiran picked up the Cirrus and blew out auspicious clouds.
Seeing that Jiang Beiran was about to ascend the clouds, the Six-Tailed Fox asked anxiously,””Master, when will you come again? Master, Master ~~~”
As the six-tailed fox shouted, the auspicious cloud rose into the sky and flew toward the southeast.
The six-tailed fox fell to the ground, thinking,”‘Mother, I’m afraid Xiaoxiao can’t go back. Sob, sob, sob, why haven’t you come to save me yet?’
Sitting on the auspicious cloud, Jiang Beiran returned to the Returning Heart Sect and landed on Huiyan Peak.
“Hmm?”
Jiang Beiran was about to return to his room to take a look when he saw Mo Xia squatting at the door with the Ying Long Chessboard.
“What are you doing here?”
Upon hearing her senior brother’s voice, Mo Xia stood up immediately and bowed to Jiang Beiran.””Senior brother hasn’t been here for several nights, so I thought of coming to take a look during the day…Please rest assured, Senior Martial Brother. I came here after completing my homework and cultivation. I’m not slacking off.”
“Waiting for me to play chess?” Jiang Beiran walked over and asked.
Mo Xia quickly stepped aside and bowed.””Last time, Senior Brother took a step of 17 out of 13…I went back and thought for a long time, and finally thought of some countermeasures, so I still want to play another game with senior brother. I beg senior brother to fulfill my wish!”
“Oh? Do you mean that you’ve thought of a way to break it?”Jiang Beiran said as he pushed open the wooden door.
Mo Xia quickly shook his head and said,”I don’t dare. I just feel that…” There is a small possibility.”
Jiang Beiran was about to say something when he saw a thin note beside a stack of copybooks.
“It’s Senior Brother?”
Surprised, Jiang Beiran immediately took a step forward to pick up the slip of paper. He realized that it was indeed written by his senior brother. The content was that he had returned and if he was free, he could come over for a small gathering.
