The reason why Jiang Beiran strongly felt that the Shi family was not peaceful was because it was the same as Guixin sect in a sense.
The infighting never stops.
A certain inner disciple suddenly disappeared, a certain direct descendant was suddenly poisoned, a certain branch family died suddenly and so on.
After all, although the Shi family is strong, it is not the only one strong. There are many powerful sects and families who want to bring it down, or have conflicts of interest with it.
Like planting spies and sending dead soldiers is commonplace, and the most ruthless thing is to instigate rebellion.
Among the Shi family, except for Shi Hongyun, the patriarch who is a transcendent existence, the other members of the direct line all covet the position of patriarch, because being the patriarch means that the resources of the Shi family can be mobilized at will.
And the resources of the Shi family are so rich that even Xuan Zun would be tempted. After all, who wouldn't want to go further? Who wouldn't want to become a Profound Sage too
There are only a few resources that may make Xuanzun's heart flutter, so it will inevitably cause competition.
It was so intense that even Jiang Beiran, an outsider, could fully feel it.
When the two powerful auras came here just now, Jiang Beiran thought he had also encountered this kind of drama of kidnapping a junior, but when the system jumped the prompt, he knew it must be Shi Yutong. As for the purpose...
Jiang Beiran always felt that it was not that simple.
'What is she trying to test me for...'
With this question in mind, Jiang Beiran returned to the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers.
"Xiao Beiran! Xiao Beiran! Look, look."
When he was about to return to his hut, Jiang Beiran suddenly heard Shi Fenglan's voice from above. Looking up, he saw that she was waving two bunches of flowers in her hand, and she was wearing an extremely gorgeous wreath on her head.
'Prodigal ah! '
Since entering the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, Jiang Beiran has been researching which flowers are more valuable, and soon got a result.
That's almost all worth it.
Whether these flowers are used to extract essential oils or make elixirs, they have great effects.
But now they are all made into garlands on Shi Fenglan's head.
'Ah... I've been staring at that Shuanghua for a long time. '
"Does it look good?"
Seeing Jiang Beiran remain silent, Shi Fenglan put two bouquets of flowers on both sides of her cheeks and asked with a smile.
Just as Jiang Beiran was about to speak, he saw Shi Jiamu poking his head out from the side and holding a garland and shouting, "Uncle, come up and play, a lot of flowers are blooming here."
After getting along for a month, Shi Jiamu and Jiang Beiran became more and more acquainted. Although he still couldn't see through this mysterious uncle, he somehow felt that being with him was quite interesting, at least much more fun than those at home. up.
'My crape myrtle...'
Looking at the crape myrtle on Shi Jiamu's wreath, Jiang Beiran felt extremely heartbroken. Originally, he planned to make this flower into soothing oil.
"You play."
After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he opened the door and returned to the hut.
"Hey..." Shi Fenglan put down her hands and said strangely, "Xiao Beiran doesn't seem very happy."
"Don't worry about it, the troubles of the middle-aged uncle, let's continue to play with ours." Shi Jiamu said and picked up another flower and inserted it into the wreath.
"I'll go see him."
Shi Fenglan said and jumped off the slope.
"Hey!" Shi Jiamu yelled, but found that the little aunt had already entered the house.
Shaking his head helplessly, Shi Jiamu had no choice but to jump down.
Entering the room, Shi Fenglan sat across from Jiang Beiran who was making tea and shouted, "I want to drink too!"
Looking at the garland on Shi Fenglan's head, Jiang Beiran put down the kettle and said, "Actually, these flowers on your head are also delicious for making tea."
"Really?" Shi Fenglan said and immediately picked the wreath and handed it to Jiang Beiran, "I want to drink and see."
After receiving the wreath, Jiang Beiran nodded and said, "Okay, I'll soak it for you later."
At this time, Shi Jiamu also opened the door and walked in, "Uncle, you are really disappointing, you don't want to come and see the flowers blooming so beautifully."
"busy."
Jiang Beiran answered and poured himself a cup of tea.
Knowing that arguing with Jiang Beiran would lead to no results, Shi Jiamu sat next to Shi Fenglan and said, "I want to drink tea too."
Jiang Beiran nodded, and also poured Shi Jiamu a glass.
Taking a sip from the teacup, Shi Jiamu closed his eyes and took a breath.
"Uncle, why does the tea you make taste better than other people's?" Shi Jiamu asked curiously, staring at the tea in the cup.
"secret."
"Cut~" Shi Jiamu curled his lips, and then said as if remembering something: "Oh, by the way, when I came, uncle told me to ask you to go to his place."
Putting down the teapot in his hand, Jiang Beiran asked, "Which uncle?"
To say that the seniority of the Shi family is really chaotic. In addition to too many family divisions, there are also too many son-in-laws who marry into the family, and the family name must follow the Shi family name, so if you don’t distinguish carefully, it is difficult to distinguish which are direct descendants and which are Collateral, which are foreign relatives.
Jiang Beiran only knew that even if the same surname was Shi, the status and status were quite different.
"Uncle is uncle."
"Sage or Henghou?"
"Oh, sage."
"The sage is looking for me?"
After all, he also lived here for a month, and Jiang Beiran now knew more than Shi Hongfang from the Shi family, and he also knew a lot of important figures in other clans.
The name of this sage is Shi Weiyi, who is in charge of the foreign affairs of the Shi family. He summoned Jiang Beiran half a month ago, and he simply got to know him without asking many questions.
"Yes." Shi Jiamu nodded.
"Did you say what it was?" Jiang Beiran asked.
"No, he asked me to tell you when I saw you."
'So casual? '
Jiang Beiran, who didn't understand the situation, put down the teapot, got up and said, "Since it was summoned by a sage, I'll go there first."
"No hurry, no hurry." Shi Jiamu said repeatedly: "Anyway, uncle didn't tell you when to go, so drink this tea first."
"It's not too late to come back and drink."
"But I want to drink two more."
Jiang Beiran frowned after hearing this, then turned around and asked, "Are you going with me too?" '
"Yes, uncle asked me to take you there."
As soon as Shi Fenglan quit, she immediately shouted: "Then I will go too!"
'something is wrong...'
Chewing on the message that Shi Jiamu was to take him there, Jiang Bei couldn't help feeling ominous.
But the system didn't select any options, and Jiang Beiran also knew that if he wanted to hide, he probably couldn't.
After finishing the tea with Shi Jiamu in a complicated mood, the three of them left Wanhua Valley and walked towards the inner city together.
Under the leadership of Shi Jiamu, Jiang Beiran soon came to the mansion of the sages.
After the guard finished reporting, Jiang Beiran and the three of them were led in together.
The area of the Sage's Mansion is quite large, and the three of them walked through two courtyards before finally arriving at the Boya Pavilion where the Sage lived.
"The sages have orders, the three of you can go up directly."
The attendants of Boya Court saluted Jiang Beiran and the others.
"Understood." Shi Jiamu nodded, walked into Boya Pavilion first and shouted: "Let's go, I'll take you up."
Shi Jiamu obviously came to Boya Pavilion often, and soon brought Jiang Beiran and the others to a large room on the eighth floor.
After knocking on the door twice, Shi Jiamu shouted, "Uncle! We are here."
Then there was a "squeak", and the door opened automatically.
Waving to Jiang Beiran, Shi Jiamu first stepped over the threshold and walked in.
Jiang Beiran first glanced in, and then walked in.
In front of the delicate potted plants on the table, a man in a crane cloak turned around to look at Jiang Bei and said with a smile, "Here we are."
'Hiss...'
Looking at Shi Weiyi's smiling face, Jiang Beiran felt goose bumps.
From the last time I met Jiang Beiran, I discovered that this sage loves to laugh, which is actually the same as him.
But there is a good saying, the person who hates the most is usually another self. Jiang Beiran really doesn't like this kind of person who always keeps smiling, because he can't see through, completely.
At this time, Shi Fenglan who followed from behind shouted at Wei Yi: "Hello, Brother Wei."
"Oh? Lan Lan is here too." Shi Weiyi smiled brighter, "How are you doing recently?"
"I'm so happy!" Shi Fenglan replied happily.
"Just be happy." After Shi Weiyi finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Beiran again: "Beiran, are you still used to staying here?"
"Still getting used to it."
"Hohohoho." Laughing like an old man, Shi Weiyi nodded and said: "You are honest, but if there is something that you can't get used to, you can come and tell me, since you are a guest invited by the ancestors, If I don’t entertain you well, it’s my fault.”
"Thank you, Sage."
On the side, Shi Jiamu admired the potted plants that his uncle had just arranged, then raised his head and asked, "Uncle, what do you want us to do?"
"It's no big deal, isn't it going to be Bi Xiao's meeting soon? You should be the one to attend this time, right?"
"En!" Shi Jiamu replied with a little force, "Yes, I have been preparing for a long time, and this time the leader must be ours!"
"Hohohoho." With rhythmic laughs, Shi Weiyi nodded in satisfaction, "If you can really win this honor, then uncle will definitely celebrate for you, don't you want the Feiyan Xuanzhu? As long as If you win the title, uncle will find it for you."
"Really?" Shi Jiamu exclaimed in surprise, "Don't worry, uncle, I will succeed this time!"
'Maybe this is a rich family...'
Hearing the words Feiyan Xuanzhu, Jiang Beiran admitted that he was sore. As a treasure in the top 100 on the rare spectrum, this Feiyan Xuanzhu can greatly increase the speed of the wearer.
As the so-called martial arts in the world, only speed can not be broken, as long as the speed is fast enough, you will always firmly grasp the initiative in your hands.
But Jiang Beiran didn't think about anything but fast, he only thought about one thing.
If you can get this bead, it will be much easier to escape by yourself.
Just the fact that it's easy to get away is worth Jiang Bei's longing, but in Shi's family, it's just something used to reward the younger generation.
'It's outrageous! '
"Noran."
Just when Jiang Beiran was envious and jealous, Shi Weiyi suddenly shouted.
"Yes." Jiang Beiran replied with cupped hands.
"Have you heard of the Bi Xiao Club I just mentioned?"
Hearing Shi Weiyi's question, Jiang Beiran's heart skipped a beat! After a while, I understood where the ominous premonition came from.
Jiang Beiran: "The younger generation has never heard of it."
"That's a lot of talk. The Bixiao Festival is held every year. The location is on Jinding Island. Have you heard of Jinding Island?"
"I've never heard of it." Jiang Beiran still shook his head.
"This island is very interesting. It has been guarded by an ancient formation all year round, and no one can enter it. But every late autumn, an entrance will be opened, but only people with a cultivation level below Xuanhuang can enter..."
'Fuck... With such a forced setting, it sounds like the only place the protagonist will go. '
Hearing this, Jiang Beiran had basically guessed what the sage's purpose was for finding him.
"Not only are only people with a cultivation level below Xuanhuang allowed to enter, but only a thousand people can enter at a time, and no more than one can be entered. Therefore, every year when this time comes, the sects and families of the surrounding countries will let their juniors go to the island to enter. Let's go."
Hearing the words of his own junior, Jiang Beiran breathed a sigh of relief, and echoed, "I never thought there would be such a magical island."
"The magic is not limited to these. There are a large number of rare treasures on this island. Whether it is top-grade medicinal materials or top-grade gemstones, there are everything in it, and sometimes even magic weapons or exercises above the prefecture level can be found."
'Gah... Isn't this the place where the protagonist gets rich! ? Jiang Beiran couldn't help complaining in his heart.
At this time, Shi Jiamu suddenly shouted: "Uncle, I heard that last year, the believer of the Burning Moon Sect won the championship because he found a low-grade magic weapon at the earth level?"
"That's right." Shi Weiyi nodded, "It's true that you are envious of others, so you have to work hard this year."
"Don't worry, uncle, I'll just find a heavenly magic weapon and come back."
"Hey, uncle is waiting for your good news." Shi Weiyi looked at Jiang Beiran and said, "Beiran, do you want to see Jinding Island too?"
"No, the younger generation prefers to stay at home." Jiang Bei replied swiftly.
Shi Weiyi laughed again after hearing this, "That's really troublesome, I have already told my ancestors that this time I let you go to play together."
'I fucked your mother @#￥! %'
Hearing this, Jiang Beiran's mentality collapsed in an instant. He guessed just now that since Shi Weiyi called him here specially, and said this as soon as he opened his mouth, he probably wanted him to go with him, but when he heard that it was his own Junior, Jiang Beiran was a little relieved, but it turned out that he was still too young.
After cursing inwardly, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for the sage's wrong love, but didn't you just say that the people who went were all the juniors in the clan, isn't it a bit inappropriate for me to go?"
"It doesn't matter." Shi Weiyi waved his hand, "It's just such a saying, do you think other families will abide by the rules? In fact, as long as the cultivation level is below Xuanhuang, it will be fine."
"Since you said that the ones who will go are all Xuanwang...then the younger generation will go to the tiger's mouth?"
"Hohohoho." Shi Weiyi shook his head with a smile, "Don't worry, it's just a treasure hunt. The reason why I let you go is because you have a sharp mind and maybe you can gain something. Don't worry, if you get something good from it Baby, our Shi family will definitely not treat you badly."
'I let your mother @#￥! '
