In the dining room, Xiang'er, who had just returned, searched inside, but couldn't find Jiang Beiran.
'what happened… '
Xiang'er was a little strange. It stands to reason that Jiang Beiran was not familiar with the place where he was born, so he shouldn't run around. He clearly let him stay here, so why did he still see no one.
'Did something happen? '
But just from the conversation just now, Xiang'er felt that Jiang Beiran was different from ordinary disciples of the younger generation. As for the difference...
It should be difficult to bring him into his own rhythm.
"As expected of a young man who made the clan saints look at him differently, he is really different..." Xiang'er thought with emotion.
I wanted to have an in-depth chat with Jiang Beiran several times just now, but he was impeccable.
'I don't know if he read my mind, or he is used to it... But it is indeed an excellent resource worth using. '
With a ghostly smile, Xiang'er slowly walked out of the dining room and began to look for the missing Jiang Beiran.
On the other side, Jiang Beiran, who followed Shi Fenglan away, came to a valley where a hundred flowers bloomed, many of which even Jiang Beiran couldn't name.
Seeing Xiao Beiran looking around, Shi Fenglan turned around and walked backwards while introducing: "This is the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, there are really ten thousand kinds of flowers."
"Ten thousand kinds?"
Jiang Beiran was a little surprised. People called it Baihuagu, which is an exaggerated noun.
Her family is honest, saying that there are 10,000 kinds of flowers, but there are 10,000 kinds of flowers.
'But in this world... there are really ten thousand kinds of flowers? '
Jiang Beiran suddenly became interested. How can he be called a master in flower cultivation? Now that he sees so many varieties that he has never seen before, he can't help but feel a little itchy. After all, who knows which potted flowers will become magic weapons? material potential.
"Xiao Beiran, Xiao Beiran, come and see."
As they walked, Shi Fenglan suddenly knelt down to the side of the road and shook hands at Jiang Beiran.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Beiran walked over and asked.
Pointing to a flower shining with a faint purple awn, Shi Fenglan said happily: "Look, I saw it was about to bloom when I left last time, and this time I came back just in time for it to bloom, isn't it very beautiful?"
Seeing Shi Fenglan's excited expression, Jiang Beiran suddenly looked up into the distance and asked, "Master Shi, is this your residence?"
"Hey..." Shi Fenglan was stunned for a moment, "How do you know?"
Jiang Beiran knew that Shi Fenglan liked flowers from the very beginning, or it was because she liked flowers that she knew her.
She has placed all kinds of rare flowers in the Tinglan Waterside Pavilion, and there is no reason why she doesn't have any at home, so it is very reasonable to live in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers.
"Just take a guess."
Standing up, Shi Fenglan tidied up her little skirt and raised her head proudly, "That's right, this is my home, isn't it beautiful!"
"That's true, but why did you bring me to your house?"
"Aren't you looking for a place to live? There are so many vacant rooms in the valley, just pick one at random."
Jiang Beiran just wanted to refuse after hearing this, but then he thought about it, although living with Shi Fenglan might be risky, but in this Shi family compound, how could it not be dangerous for him to live
The same is dangerous, Shi Fenglan is still a dangerous factor under his control, and it is much stronger than those outside.
Thinking clearly, Jiang Beiran nodded and said, "Alright, I like this place quite a bit."
When Xiao Beiran agreed, Shi Fenglan was very surprised. She originally planned to trick Xiao Beiran into her house first, and then use the ten sets of arguments she had prepared to persuade him in turn.
Unexpectedly, she didn't even use the first set, so Xiao Beiran agreed.
'It's not right, this is not the usual Xiao Beiran. '
But regardless of whether it is right or wrong, anyway, the goal has been achieved, Shi Fenglan said happily: "Then go quickly, I will take you to choose a place that you are satisfied with, I am not just flowers."
Following Shi Fenglan into the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, Jiang Beiran soon discovered that she seemed to be the only one living in the huge Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, not even a servant.
'Is it because of the evil haunting...'
Speaking of it, Shi Hongfang's words were a little ambiguous, he only said that Gu Liangren calculated that as long as Shi Fenglan went to Guixinzong, the evil spirit would be lifted when the time came.
But now they obviously haven't waited for the so-called time to come, but the evil spirit on Shi Fenglan has disappeared.
'Then is she okay now, or is she still haunted by the evil spirit? '
'Schrödinger's Shi Fenglan? '
Thinking of Gu Liangren, Jiang Beiran couldn't help wanting to meet him again, even if he couldn't learn anything, it would be good to share his experience.
"Xiao Beiran, how is it here?"
When they came to a hut surrounded by cobblestones, Shi Fenglan looked at Jiang Beiran expectantly and asked.
"Very good, then I'll live here." Jiang Beiran nodded and walked inside.
But Shi Fenglan hurriedly stopped him and said, "Oh! Wait a minute! This is the first place I visited, and there are still many houses behind you that you haven't seen."
"No, that's fine." Jiang Beiran said and walked straight forward.
And just when he was about to walk into the room, suddenly there was a burning feeling on his back, but it disappeared quickly, and three options suddenly appeared at the same time.
[Option 1: Look back to the direction where the thoughts emanate, and the reward for completing it: Thousand Machines Art (Earth-level low-grade)]
[Option 2: Ask Shi Fenglan if there are other people in the valley. Completion Reward: Astrological Treasure Scroll (Mysterious Top Grade)]
[Option 3: Go straight into the house. Completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]
Jiang Beiran knew very well that someone was staring at him at the moment, and it seemed to be far away.
'Sent to spy on me...'
After making a guess, Jiang Beiran opened the door and walked in.
Walking into the room and looking around, Jiang Beiran found that although no one lived here, it was cleaned very clean, and the surroundings were quiet enough, which met his requirements.
Moving a small chair and sitting down, Shi Fenglan looked up at Jiang Beiran and asked, "Xiao Beiran, how long are you going to stay here?"
"I don't know." Moving the tea set on the table away, Jiang Beiran took out a set of his usual tea set from the Qiankun Ring and placed it on it.
"I don't know?" Shi Fenglan blinked twice, "So it's possible to live for a long time?"
"I don't know."
"Then I'll take it as if you're staying here for a long time!" After clapping her hands happily, Shi Fenglan asked expectantly, "Then what shall we play today?"
"I still have to see your uncle, so I probably don't have time to play."
"Ah~ Isn't the matter over, why does uncle still want to see you?"
"There are still some things to finish." Jiang Beiran picked up a teacup and asked, "Would you like tea?"
Shi Fenglan immediately raised her right hand and shouted, "Drink!"
"Googling..."
After brewing a pot of hot tea, Jiang Beiran thought about who to ask about that Gu Liang.
Shi Fenglan definitely couldn't do it. Judging from the meaning of Shi Hongfang's words, the Shi family probably didn't tell her the real reason why Shi Fenglan couldn't go out, so I couldn't say it.
Shi Hongfang didn't do much, because if he knew it, it meant that the Profound Sage knew it too, and that Profound Sage was already very curious about him, and if he knew that he wanted to see Gu Liangren, he might be even more interested. up.
'I have no choice but to wait for the time. '
Seeing that Xiao Beiran was silent, Shi Fenglan, who was drinking tea, suddenly shouted: "Xiao Beiran, I live not far from here, do you want to go and have a look?"
"No, another day, there are still many things to do today."
Shi Fenglan, who was rejected continuously, couldn't help but pouted, and muttered in a low voice: "What, just like Daddy, busy all day long."
Although it was whispered, but the two were so close, Jiang Beiran naturally heard it clearly.
'I don't know what kind of person Shi Fenglan's father is. '
Judging from Shi Hongfang's sentence "If my brother-in-law knows that Lan'er is so close to you, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get out of Shi's house alive", Shi Fenglan's father should still love her very much, only because of the evil entanglement. I can only stay away from my daughter.
But this made Jiang Beiran even more confused.
Since Shi Fenglan can go home, and she is not haunted by evil spirits, why are her parents avoiding her
'It seems that Shi Hongfang didn't tell me everything... I just don't know how much he hid. '
"Xiao Beiran, what are you thinking?" Shi Fenglan leaned her chin on the table and raised her eyes to Jiang Beiran and asked.
Glancing at Shi Fenglan, Jiang Beiran replied, "I was wondering when you would go back."
"Woo~" There was a long, unhappy voice, "I just want to chat with you, why are you driving me away?"
"Why don't you help me with something."
"What!?" Shi Fenglan asked with bright eyes.
"Call your uncle for me, and tell me that I have found a place to live."
"Cut~" After another long sound, Shi Fenglan stood up and said, "Okay, then I'll call him now."
The reason why he was so eager to see Shi Hongfang was that Jiang Beiran was worried that Xiang'er would get involved again later. Jiang Beiran must keep a respectful distance from this kind of woman who can jump several prefecture-level options within a few minutes of meeting.
Hurry up and let Shi Hongfang take over the job of "guide", so that Jiang Bei can feel relieved.
After a while, Shi Fenglan came back with Shi Hongfang.
"Hmm~ Very special tea fragrance."
As soon as he walked into the room, Shi Hong said with a satisfied face.
After hearing this, Shi Fenglan immediately said: "Yes, Xiao Beiran can make tea! Uncle, do you want to try it?"
Now that Shi Fenglan said so, Jiang Beiran took advantage of the opportunity to pour a cup of tea and handed it to Shi Hongfang and said, "If seniors don't dislike it, please review it."
"It's easy to say."
Taking the teacup, Shi Hongfang brought it to his lips and took a sip.
"Hmm~" After shaking his head for a while, Shi Hongfang spit out two words.
"Good tea."
"As long as seniors like it."
"Sure enough, as the old ancestor said, you are not only good at arrays, but even this tea is superior to others. I have been drinking tea for decades, but I have never tasted this kind of tea. What is the name of this tea?"
"Senior praised me a lot. It's just some new tea from my hometown. If you like it, you can take some." Jiang Beiran said as he took out a tea bag from the side and handed it to Shi Hongfang.
"If it's anything else, I'm really embarrassed to covet the benefits of you, a junior, but this tea is my favorite, so I won't be polite to you." Shi Hongfang took the tea bag after he finished speaking.
"Senior, if you like it, I'll bring you something else another day. I don't have anything else. There are a lot of good teas. I'm sure you'll be satisfied."
Listening to Jiang Beiran's casual tone, Shi Hongfang couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
On weekdays, those juniors would be respectful when they saw him, and they would not even dare to say a witty word, but although Jiang Beiran respected him as an elder, his tone was much more casual, and he didn't feel the cultivation between the two of them at all. There is a world of difference.
But Shi Hongfang thinks about it, even this kid can be calm in front of his ancestors, let alone him.
'Is it true that what the ancestors said... this Jiangbeiran is all in contact with great powers on weekdays? '
While he was thinking, a more invigorating tea scent suddenly wafted over, completely breaking his thoughts.
"What kind of tea is this?"
Shi Hongfang's eyes were opened today. He has tasted tea for so long, and he thought he had tasted all the best teas in the world. Unexpectedly, Jiangbei ran two kinds of good teas that he had never tasted before.
Putting the lid on the pot, Jiang Beiran replied: "Senior, this tea is called Jinjunmei. It is a kind of black tea that I have been thinking about in my free time. Would you like to taste it again?"
"black tea?"
The unheard term aroused Shi Hongfang's interest.
"Can I have a look at the tea leaves?"
"Of course, you can look at it casually, and you can take it away if you like."
Having figured out the family's favorite tone, Jiang Beiran spoke respectfully and casually.
According to Jiang Beiran's words, people from these big families are used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas, and occasionally they would shout "Miaozai, Miaozai" when they order some side dishes.
After taking the tea pot from Jiang Beiran, Shi Hongfang shook it twice and sniffed it.
"Hmm... this tea looks tight and even, with a long oily sheen, dull aroma, slightly pine scent, bright red color, full of golden hairs, it is indeed a tea that I have never seen before, interesting, interesting …”
What is a cultural person? This is a man of culture.
Sure enough, no matter which world you are in, those who like to drink tea basically have a little ink in their stomachs.
Handing a small cup filled with black tea to Shi Hongfang, Jiang Bei smiled and said, "Try it and see if it suits your taste."
"Then I won't be polite."
After taking the teacup, Shi Hongfang lowered his head and took a sip.
"Hahaha, it's really good! This tea has a mellow taste, lingering fragrance, and endless aftertaste. It's really hard to love."
"It's as long as senior likes it. I also brought a lot of this tea, and I'll put it on for you later."
"Okay, okay." Nodding happily, Shi Hongfang was obviously very happy with this windfall.
Seeing her uncle's appearance of getting along well with Xiao Beiran, Shi Fenglan felt inexplicably proud, very special, of course, besides the accident, she was more happy.
After finishing a cup of black tea, Shi Hongfang suddenly remembered the business that his ancestor told him, so he put down the teacup and said, "Let's put the tea leaves first, and my ancestor asked me to take you around the house so that you can get familiar with it."
"Then I'm going to trouble seniors." With a bow to Shi Hongfang, Jiang Beiran packed up the tea and followed behind him.
"I'm going too, I'm going too!" Shi Fenglan, who came back to her senses, shouted again and again.
"Lan'er is good, my uncle has something to talk to him alone, you just wait at home."
"I follow farther away! I promise not to eavesdrop." Shi Fenglan said, covering her ears.
Shi Hongfang still shook his head and said, "If you can't do it, you can't do it, just wait at home obediently."
"Hmph!" Knowing that she could not change her uncle's decision, Shi Fenglan could only let out a sigh of relief, then looked at Jiang Beiran and said, "Come back sooner."
"Yes." Jiang Beiran nodded, and followed Shi Hongfang out.
