I Just Won’t Play by the Book

Chapter 145: Why Didn’t Senior Brother Come Back (5000-word chapter)

Views:

After choosing three, Jiang Beiran looked at A Niu and said, "No, Brother A Niu, we won't go to town."

"Why!" Mu Yao and Kong Qianqian shouted at the same time.

Jiang Beiran took a look at the two of them and said, "We are here to do business, not to travel around. What we should do now is to reach Jiangbei as quickly as possible."

After hearing this, Mu Yao immediately shouted: "It's just going to the town to find an inn to rest, what's the matter?"

"No." Jiang Beiran refused expressionlessly.

After two days, Jiang Beiran seemed to have completely become the leader of the team, and Mu Yao, who had eaten, drank, and sang, just made a symbolic struggle, then turned her head and said, "Huh, if you don't go, you won't go, Let me tell you first, it's not because I listen to you, I just think it's important to do business."

Although Kong Qianqian really wanted to play, he dared not do anything except look at Jiang Beiran with pitiful eyes.

However, Kong Qianqian, who had been watching until her eyes were sore and didn't get any response, had no choice but to continue to squeeze her shoulders.

Seeing that the proposals of the three were unanimous, Ah Niu smiled and pulled up the curtain and continued on his way.

On the other side, in the Tinglan water pavilion, Shi Fenglan and Xiaoduo stood on the door together and looked at the street with people coming and going, but they couldn't wait for the person they were waiting for.

"Are you sure Xiao Beiran and the others are back?" Shi Fenglan looked at Xiaoduo and asked.

Xiaoduo nodded vigorously: "I'm sure, I just came back to report after seeing the suzerain get off the car with my own eyes."

"Then why Xiao Beiran hasn't come yet." Shi Fenglan pouted her lips and muttered in a low voice: "Obviously she promised to play with me as soon as she came back. You are a big liar, just like your father."

Until the evening, Shi Fenglan, still unwilling to give up, was still sitting on a small bench in the garden waiting, and Xiaoduo beside her was about to persuade her to eat something first, when she heard a knock on the door.

"I'll drive!"

As Shi Fenglan said, she instantly moved to the front door and opened the two doors.

But looking at the person behind the door, Shi Fenglan's expression changed from surprise to disappointment in an instant.

Seeing Shi Fenglan's unique skill of "changing face", Yu Manwen said dumbfoundedly: "Why, you don't want to see me so much."

"No, I..."

"All right, all right, no need to explain, I know who you are waiting for."

After hearing this, Shi Fenglan kicked away a small stone at her feet, "Who's waiting for him, I'll just sit at the door and look at the flowers."

After hearing this, Yu Manwen chuckled, and said, "I just went to the conference hall, and the suzerain specially named and praised a few disciples, and Jiang Beiran was among them."

Shi Fenglan immediately turned her head and asked, "So is he still with the suzerain?"

"No." Yu Manwen shook his head, "The suzerain didn't say anything. I asked Zhang Zhang later, and he said that the suzerain only told him that Jiang Bei was going to do something, so he would come back later."

Hearing that Jiang Beiran hadn't returned to the clan, Shi Fenglan's expression brightened immediately.

"It's really strange that he didn't follow the crowd this time."

"Yes." Yu Manwen nodded, "I also find it strange that he usually avoids such things, so why was he selected this time?"

"So what did he do?"

"This Hall Master Zhang said that he didn't know too well, only that he shouldn't come back too soon."

"Ah~" Shi Fenglan drew a long voice, "The suzerain is really true. He has been away for so long, why is he still bossing people around? I'll go talk to him."

"Hey, hey." Yu Manwen hurriedly pulled Shi Fenglan back, "You go to the suzerain and tell the matter. If Jiang Beiran finds out, I'm afraid he won't come to play with you again."

"That's right." Shi Fenglan sighed after finishing speaking.

Seeing Shi Fenglan's very disappointed look, Yu Manwen suddenly thought that the suzerain didn't say anything about it, but she could ask those disciples who participated in the youth meeting, so she patted Shi Fenglan and said, "Wait for me for a while, I'll be right back. "

After speaking, he left Tinglan Waterside Pavilion.

At this time, in Liu Zijin's room, Fang Qiuyao and the three sisters from the Yu family were all here. The five of them were discussing how to find Yu Manwen to learn art from a teacher. As soon as Ding's plan was laid out, they heard a knock on the door outside. .

"Who is it?" Liu Zijin asked.

"it's me."

Hearing it was Yu Manwen's voice, the five of them looked at each other in bewilderment, their faces full of surprise.

'This is too coincidental. '

But the surprise was the surprise, Liu Zijin immediately stood up and ran to open the door.

"I pay my respects to the Dharma protector." Liu Zijin cupped his hands and shouted.

"You don't have to be polite."

At this moment, Fang Qiuyao and the others also ran over together and cupped their hands towards Yu Manwen, saying, "I pay my respects to Guardian Yu."

"Oh? You are all here."

Yu Manwen couldn't help laughing. Since she let Jiang Beiran be their iron seal last time, although Jiang Beiran and them had no follow-up, the five became inseparable.

"Guardian Yu, please come in first." Liu Zijin stepped aside and said.

"Okay." Yu Manwen said as he walked in, "I came to you today because I want to ask you something."

"Just ask Protector Yu, we will know everything."

"I heard that Jiang Beiran didn't come back with you this time?"

Liu Zijin and the other five looked at each other for a while after listening. In fact, they didn't know that the senior brother really didn't go with them until the convoy set off, but they didn't know what happened.

In the end, Liu Zijin nodded as a representative and replied, "Well, Brother Jiang did not come back with us."

"Yes... did something happen?" Yu Manwen, who was sitting at the square table, asked.

This question seemed to hit the excitement of Liu Zijin and the others, one by one rushing to speak.

"Guardian Yu, senior brother is in the limelight this time!"

"On the day of Sect Master Guan's birthday banquet, many members of the Demon Cult suddenly came, and Yin Jianghong, the leader of the Spirit Dragon Sect, was also promoted to Xuanzong! We thought there would be a fight."

"But who knew that the purpose of the leader Yin's visit was to let the disciples of the Devil's Cult join us in the youth meeting, and then..."

Yu Manwen also heard about the Devil's Cult during the discussion, but the Suzerain and Xiangzhu didn't elaborate, so she didn't know exactly what happened afterwards.

So seeing Fang Qiuyao hesitate to speak, Yu Manwen hurriedly asked, "What happened after that?"

At this time, Yu Guishui continued: "Afterwards, our decent disciples lost terribly... Whether it is martial arts or literary competition, we are inferior to those disciples of the Devil's Cult." Let’s talk about this matter in detail, so please protect the Dharma…”

"Is that so?" Yu Manwen was a little surprised, "I only heard from the suzerain that Wu Qingce from the Chaotic Star Hall won the championship, and I thought..."

Speaking of this, Yu Manwen understood that the suzerain seemed to be announcing good news but not bad news again.

Nodding, Yu Manwen said, "I see, what happened next?"

"Later, when the disciples of the Demon Sect won several competitions in a row, Senior Brother Jiang stood up! He defeated an extremely powerful disciple of the Demon Sect with Go, and everyone cheered for a long time."

'Jiang Beiran! ? '

'Show off! ? '

Yu Manwen was shocked, and felt that the Jiang Beiran mentioned by the five people was not the same person she knew at all.

Then several others immediately added.

"Brother was very powerful at that time, and even played blindfold chess with that devil's genius, Mu Jiuri."

"Yeah, it's so fast, even the chief referee didn't have time to remember."

"In the beginning, Mu Jiuri was very confident, but it didn't take long for his senior brother to sweat profusely."

When it was Yu Guimiao's turn, she felt as if she had finished speaking, so she shouted, "Yes, yes! That demon genius is no match for senior brother!"

Immediately afterwards, the five of them took turns describing what happened afterwards, until they talked about the contest between Wu Qingce and Mu Yao.

"At that time, everyone was engrossed in watching the game, and they were all trying their best to cheer for Senior Brother Wu, but who knew at this time..." Yu Guijuan glanced at his sister halfway through speaking, saw her nodding, and then continued: " Who would have thought that at this moment, a bandit from the Great Profound Master Realm suddenly slapped my sister with a palm, we didn't react at all, only the senior brother!"

Speaking of this, Yu Guijuan danced excitedly, and even dragged Yu Guishui to reproduce the scene.

"At that time, I only heard my senior brother yell 'be careful!', and turned around without hesitation to protect my sister in my arms."

When Yu Guishui, who was held in Yu Guijun's arms, heard this, his pretty face suddenly turned red, and all kinds of things about the senior brother at that time suddenly appeared in his mind.

'The strong arms, the thick chest, and the firm voice...'

Yu Manwen's expression was extremely surprised when Yu Guijun performed it attentively.

'I got slapped by the Great Mysterious Master! ? '

This instantly reminded Yu Manwen of the immortal feather suit given to her by the hall master.

Seeing that Yu Manwen seemed to be very surprised, Yu Guijuan immediately got excited, and hurriedly continued: "At that time, we were all terrified, the senior brother spit out a lot of blood, and the breath gradually disappeared, but who knew that the suzerain asked for it on the spot. When avenging senior brother, senior brother suddenly came back to life!"

Seeing that she would have no chance to say anything else, Yu Guimiao hurriedly took the lead and continued: "Later, everyone said that if the senior brother hadn't died, the righteousness and the Demon Cult would definitely fight, and they might have a death feud, so It’s fine to say that the senior brother saved the entire Fengzhou.”

"Then Jiang Bei survived the palm of the Great Mysterious Master, so no one thinks it's strange?"

Although Yu Manwen knew that Jiang Beiran was fine because of the body protection of the fairy feather suit, but I don't know if other people also know about it. If Hall Master Shi is involved, she will have to make some preparations to say something .

"Of course everyone was surprised, but later, Sect Master Guan of the Moon Sect explained that because he was worried that his brother's capture of the Go leader would cause other demon sects to plot against him, so he gave him a treasure armor. That saved the life of my brother."

"So that's how it is..." Yu Manwen nodded slowly, knowing in her heart who Jiang Beiran was "envoyed" this time.

But soon she fell into deep thought again, because she was very surprised at the beginning why Jiang Beiran participated in this youth meeting, which was completely out of line with his behavior.

As a result, such a big event happened in the Moon Sect this time. Is this really... a bit of a coincidence

In addition, it made her feel strange that Jiang Beiran would ask the hall master for a magic weapon, but now he really resolved a huge crisis with this magic weapon, although all this seemed logical.

'But isn't it too coincidental? '

'This Jiang Beiran...is really not an ordinary registered disciple. '

Seeing that Protector Yu was stunned, Yu Guimiao asked, "Protector Yu, do you also think that senior brother is showing off this time?"

"Well...it's quite the limelight."

After the brother's part was finished, the five of them lost interest in continuing to talk about what happened later. At this moment, Fang Qiuyao's eyes lit up suddenly, and she came behind Yu Manwen to help her hold her shoulders and said, "Guardian Yu, you are really alone!" With a discerning eye, he brought senior brother to us as an iron seal before he was in the limelight."

Hearing this, Yu Manwen replied with a chuckle, "I remember you were still very unhappy at that time."

Fang Qiuyao couldn't help but blush after hearing this, but she quickly flattered her and said, "I was not sensible at that time, but now I fully understand your painstaking efforts to protect the Dharma."

While enjoying Fang Qiuyao's massage with her eyes closed, Yu Manwen shook her head and said, "But I'm not the one with the discerning eye." After speaking, Yu Manwen opened her eyes and glanced at Liu Zijin.

'Yes. At this time, Fang Qiuyao suddenly remembered that the first person who discovered the senior brother was not sister Zijin.

After hearing this, Liu Zijin didn't respond, but changed the subject and said, "Why did Protector Yu suddenly come to ask about this? Is something wrong with senior brother?"

"Oh, no." Yu Manwen shook his head, "I'm just a little surprised why Jiang Beiran didn't come back. Now that I've heard what you've said, I almost understand."

"Hey!?" The five pretty faces immediately came together in front of Yu Manwen, "Does Guardian Yu know why senior brother didn't come back with us?"

"I'm just guessing." Seeing the five faces full of curiosity, Yu Manwen chuckled and said, "Think about it, there are many important people here to celebrate the birthday of Sect Master Guan, right?"

"Yeah." The five girls nodded in unison.

"The fact that Jiang Beiran is so prominent as a disciple of the Qi training realm will definitely attract the attention of some big shots. It is very likely that they have also discovered Jiang Beiran's special features, and maybe they are secretly training him somewhere right now. "

"Oh~"

The five women drew a long tone at the same time, feeling that what Protector Yu said was very reasonable.

"So you don't have to worry, he will be fine." Yu Manwen stood up after speaking, "Then you guys continue talking, and I'll leave first."

But as soon as Yu Manwen turned around, she found that Fang Qiuyao came to her and knelt down directly.

"Qiu Yao, what are you doing?" Yu Manwen asked.

"Guardian Yu, through this youth meeting, we deeply felt our inadequacies, so we want to worship you as a teacher, Guardian Yu, and practice the exercises well."

Liu Zijin and the others immediately reacted after hearing this, and hurriedly ran to Yu Manwen and knelt down together and said, "I beg the Dharma protector to accept us as disciples."

Looking at the five pairs of eyes full of sincerity, Yu Manwen smiled and said, "It's okay for me to take you as disciples, but you have to agree to one condition."

"Mr. Jiang, the border of Jiangbei is not far ahead. Which town do you think we should go to first?"

On Min Niu's cart, Ah Niu lifted the curtain and asked.

Jiang Beiran thought for a while, and replied, "Let's go to Suitong Town first, brother A Niu, can you know the way?"

"I really don't know Jiangbei very well, let me think about it..."

Seeing that Ah Niu didn't know, Jiang Beiran took out a map from the Qiankun Ring and pointed it, "We should be at this location now, Suitong Town is at this location, and there should be a road ten miles northwest. Just follow the official road."

"Hey..." A Niu took the map in Jiangbeiran's hand, "Your Jiangbei map looks pretty good? This road is so easy to recognize."

Hearing that Ah Niu was so excited and even praised how beautiful it was, Kong Qianqian, who was sitting in the back, hurried over curiously and looked at the map in Ah Niu's hand.

"Wow! This isn't a map, it's a painting by a master." Kong Qianqian waved at Mu Yao after speaking: "Senior sister, senior sister, come and see, this map is so beautiful."

"Isn't it just a map, how beautiful it can be."

"Come and see! It's really beautiful!"

"I really can't do anything about you." Sighing, Mu Yao slowly walked over to take a look at the map.

Seeing the senior sister froze for a moment, Kong Qianqian pulled her skirt inexplicably proudly and said, "Isn't it beautiful, isn't it beautiful?"

"Well...it's really okay." Mu Yao nodded.

"Hey." With a silly smile, Kong Qianqian looked at Jiang Beiran and asked, "Sir, did you draw this?"

"Yes." Jiang Beiran nodded.

"Wow!" Two stars appeared in Kong Qianqian's eyes, "Sir, do you know how to draw!?"

Along the way, Kong Qianqian had already witnessed too many great things about Jiang Beiran, but she didn't expect that there would be something she hadn't discovered.

"Sir, you are too powerful, so you should accept your apprentice."

Kong Qianqian was about to kneel down after finishing speaking, but was caught by Jiang Beiran and Mu Yao at the same time.

After lifting her up together, Mu Yao reprimanded Kong Qianqian, "I've said it several times, you are a member of the Demon Sect! How can you worship a decent person as your teacher, and you are still a young disciple!"

"It's okay, if Mr. Jiang doesn't say anything, if the senior sister doesn't say it, no one will know if Brother A Niu doesn't say it." After she finished speaking, she looked at A Niu as if confirming and asked: "Brother A Niu, you won't tell others, right? ?”

A Niu, who was looking at the map, replied with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't tell others."

"Hey." With a silly smile, Kong Qianqian looked at Mu Yao and said, "Listen, Senior Sister, it's fine."

"When did I promise you not to tell others, no! You are not allowed to worship him as a teacher!"

Ignoring their daily "two-person turn", Jiang Beiran looked at A Niu and asked, "Brother A Niu, can you recognize the way now?"

"Don't worry, just look at it." After finishing speaking, A Niu pulled up the curtain again and concentrated on driving the car.

Just as Kong Qianqian wanted to beg Jiang Beiran again, Mu Yao grabbed her ears and sat back. She could only express her desire to be a teacher to Jiang Beiran with her eyes.

Jiang Beiran, on the other hand, continued to consider the plan to investigate the Yellow Gang.

Jiang Beiran chose to go to Suitong Town for no reason. When Qing Huan was asked to investigate, he had initially grasped the sphere of influence of the Huang Gang, and this Suitong Town was the most remote place, where he was stationed. There are not many members of the Yellow Gang.

Because he already knew the background of the Yellow Gang was very difficult, so Jiang Bei couldn't ask Wu Qingce or Gu Qinghuan to investigate in depth, otherwise, if the big shots behind were alarmed, if one of his right-hand men was broken, he would ask someone to pay for it.

So in the end, he decided to investigate by himself. As long as he found that the system continued to jump out of dangerous options, he would stop. Anyway, he had not issued a military order with the two giants that he would definitely find something. If he found some information enough to explain it, it would be fine.

Fortunately, along the way, he has almost tamed Mu Yao. Basically, as long as he speaks, she will only defy it symbolically, but she will eventually agree.

After all, eaters are soft-mouthed and short-handed, Mu Yao ate a lot of delicious food from him along the way, and even ate and took some of them later, saying that she wanted to bring them back for her dad to taste.

'I hope that when I get to the Yellow Gang's territory later...she can be so obedient. '
