Chapter 497: Elder Brother Is Like A Father
Translator: 549690339
In Jiang Beiran’s plan, it was impossible for the five clowns to catch up to Wu Qingce in terms of cultivation.
After all, he had entered the sect four years late, and Wu Qingce had been personally trained by him. How could he be overtaken when he was already in the lead?
Although Jiang Beiran had noticed that Liu Zijin and the other three were working hard on their cultivation, Wu Qingce was working hard too. Besides, cultivation wasn’t something that would definitely be rewarded just because you worked hard.
One had to know that most people would only be second-rate cultivators after working hard for their entire lives.
Putting Fang Qiuyao aside, Liu Zijin and the three sisters of the Yu Family had a ridiculously high rate of return on their cultivation. This was enough to prove that they were extremely talented in cultivation.
” The pirated version really can’t beat the original.’
Jiang Beiran had initially thought that Wu Qingce would be considered a top-notch genius after consuming the 100% Strength Thunderflame Body Tempering Pill. But now, it seemed that he was still lacking.
‘Yes… He had to think of a way to use wood spiritual energy to see if it could help Qing Ce improve.’
While he was thinking, Jiang Beiran kept sizing up Liu Zijin. After all, she was the most talented among the five of them in terms of cultivation.
Feeling that her senior brother had been watching her, Liu Zijin’s pretty face was full of unease. This was the first time her senior brother had looked at her with curiosity, as if he was looking for the secret she had hidden.
‘Oh no…Could it be that my performance in the afternoon was too obvious and senior brother saw through me…l… Wuwuwu! What should I do?
The more Liu Zijin thought about it, the more nervous she became. But the more nervous she became…
The happier he was.
In this painful yet happy experience, Liu Zijin finally held on until her senior brother shifted his gaze to the Yu sisters. However, while she felt relieved, she also felt a sense of loss.
At this moment, Fang Qiuyao, who was standing at the side, could not control herself.
Seeing Senior Brother looking at Sister Zijin, then at the Yu Sisters, but not looking at her, she felt very disappointed.
She clenched her fists and shouted nervously,””Senior Brother, you said you needed our help just now. What do you mean?”
Hearing Fang Qiuyao’s question, Jiang Beiran temporarily put away his thoughts and said,””lt’s like this. I need you to find some time to trouble senior brother and ask him to help you.”
The five golden flowers couldn’t help but be stunned when they heard this. Their five pairs of eyes blinked continuously.
“Should I trouble Brother Lu?”
They had never heard of such a request before. Shouldn’t they be asked to help Senior Brother Lu more?
Jiang Beiran had made this decision mainly because the five of them were indeed the most suitable candidates.
Wu Qingce was now the brightest star in the Sheng Kingdom, and it would be too strange for him to suddenly ask Senior Brother Lu for help. Gu Qinghuan was even more so. He was famous for being versatile in the sect, and usually, only others would ask him for help.
As for Liu Zijin and the other three, Senior Brother had already taken care of them and given them a certain amount of grace. As long as Senior Brother helped them a few more times, she could use the five of them as the middleman if she wanted to give Senior Brother any protective magical treasures in the future.
After all, even if these five clowns were very talented in cultivation, the probability of them doing something stupid was too high. There should be many opportunities for Senior Brother to help.
Looking at the stunned faces of the five, Jiang Beiran asked,””Don’t you understand?”
Yu Guimiao scratched her face and asked in confusion, ‘”‘1 understand…He just didn’t know why Shixiong would do this.”
Thinking that he would have to tell them his motive in the future, Jiang Beiran pondered for a moment before answering,””l need you to owe me enough favors. Then, I will give you some treasures to repay these favors. Of course, as long as you do well enough, I will also give you corresponding rewards.”
The five golden flowers were even more confused after hearing this. [Can’t you just give it to the underling directly?]
But on second thought, he understood that Senior Brother Lu must have confiscated the magic weapon given by Senior Brother, so Senior Brother could only think of this method.
The five golden flowers could not help but sigh in their hearts. Although they knew that their senior brother respected Senior Brother Lu very much and that he was a very good person, they still did not expect their senior brother to go to such an extent.
After understanding, Yu Guishui was the first to ask, “Senior Brother…Can I ask…Forget it, it’s nothing, it’s nothing.”
Although Yu Guishui was very curious, she knew that her senior brother did not like others to inquire about his private affairs, so she finally held back.
Glancing at Yu Guishui, Jiang Beiran replied,””You want to ask me why I’m doing this to repay Senior Brother?”
Seeing her senior brother’s gaze on her, Yu Guishui immediately lowered her head shyly and nodded.
“There’s no harm in telling you. After all, only by understanding this can you carry out the mission I gave you more clearly.”
Seeing the five of them widen their eyes and perk up their ears, Jiang Beiran pondered for a moment before saying,””First of all, my life was saved by Shixiong.”
“Wow!”
This sentence was like a lightning bolt to the five golden flowers. They really couldn’t imagine that their powerful senior brother would actually need someone to save him. This was simply unbelievable.
However, they did not speak and just listened quietly.
“When I first entered the sect, I had no family or friends. At that time, whether it was life or cultivation, senior brother helped me a lot. You could say that he was my guide..”
