"Uncle! Uncle!"
The next morning, Jiang Beiran was making breakfast for himself when he heard Shi Jiamu yelling through the window.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Beiran pushed open the window and asked.
"I'll bring you all the people you want." Shi Jiamu pointed to a row of people standing behind him and shouted.
Looking up, Jiang Beiran found that most of the people in this row had inexplicable expressions, and even panicked.
They can be liked by Jiang Beiran, and they all have unique skills in their hands, but in Shi's family, they are senior members of Linglongfang at best, and they are low-level workers at worst.
Members of the direct line like Shi Jiamu have a higher status than they know how many grades. This time Shi Jiamu went to find them in person, which made them both flattered and flustered.
Will Bi Xiao meet? Jinding Island
Isn't that the legendary trial ground for the most elite disciples of the major families? What does it have to do with these wage earners
But when the eldest lady spoke, they could only obey, obediently following along.
Jiang Beiran didn't expect that Shi Jiamu's efficiency was so high that he brought everyone here in one day, and since they all brought them here, let's talk first.
"Take them to the backyard."
"Okay." After saying that, Shi Jiamu closed the window, and beckoned everyone to walk towards the backyard.
However, just as Jiang Beiran was about to continue cooking porridge with his head down, the window was opened again.
"Xiao Beiran, what delicious food are you doing?" Shi Fenglan poked her head in and asked.
"Preserved egg and lean pork porridge."
"I also want to drink a bowl, no, a pot."
"Just wait outside."
"Then I want something with a stronger flavor~" Shi Fenglan didn't back away after speaking, just watching Xiao Beiran cook the porridge through the window.
Jiang Beiran has long been used to this, and continued to cook slowly.
Compared to the leisurely two, the twelve in the backyard were a little confused, standing there staring at each other.
"You guys sit down and rest for a while." Shi Jiamu ran towards the kitchen after speaking, after all, the porridge made by the uncle cannot be missed.
Seeing that Shi Jiamu had run away, the twelve "invited" people finally relaxed a little and started talking to each other.
"Ah Zhong, you were also called by Miss Shi, and you are going to some Jinding Island."
"That's not true." Zhong Hongcai sighed depressedly, "I'm planning to start work now, Miss..."
Zhong Hongcai realized that his voice was a bit high when he was talking, and quickly lowered his voice before continuing: "Miss Shi came here suddenly and asked me to go to Jinding Island. I have heard people say that Jinding Island is on it twice. They are all peerless treasures, and they are opened once a year, and those who go there are the most powerful Xuanwang Realm powerhouses in the entire continent."
"That's right! I've heard it too." At this moment, a tall woman in red replied, "But Brother Zhong, you missed it. There are many treasures on this island, but every year, many powerful people in the Xuanwang realm die on the island. island."
"Ah!? I'm going to die." A short man exclaimed, "Then... why did you tell me to go? I, I'm just a mysterious person. If those mysterious kings blow, I will probably die."
"That's right, this King Xuan is fighting, why are we little Xuan Zhe going to join in the fun? Isn't this sending you to death?"
"Could it be that..." A middle-aged man's expression darkened suddenly, "The Shi family plans to use this to get rid of us?"
"what!?"
Everyone exclaimed at the same time, and some of them even felt their legs go weak.
"Why...why? I'm a hard worker, and I didn't do anything wrong. A few days ago, I helped my boss find a piece of Duize red copper. This... this reward didn't come, but I waited for the decapitated meal ?”
"Me too! I just sewed a bright feather shirt for the Second Young Master, and the Second Young Master is very satisfied. How can you change your face if you change your face?"
"Quiet! Be quiet!"
At this time, Ji Zishi suddenly shouted loudly.
When everyone looked at him, Ji Zishi said: "Before Ms. Shi came to me, there was someone who came to me and asked me about searching for medicine. Later, Ms. Shi seemed to like me because of this." Come on, will there be some connection between these two?"
"Are you talking about a masked brother?" A middle-aged woman next to him immediately asked.
"Yes, it's masked." Ji Zishi nodded.
"Oh, then I met it too!" A girl not far away raised her hand.
"Me too."
"Me too!"
A total of six people said that they had seen the masked brother.
"That's right, that little brother should be standing in front of Miss Shi." Ji Zishi said as he looked at the other five people who had also been approached by that little brother, and immediately understood: "I'm afraid Miss Shi is You have taken a fancy to the ability of the few of us to find the treasures of heaven and earth, didn’t you just say that there are many treasures on Jinding Island, you probably want us to find those treasures.”
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized and nodded.
"It's not right!" Zhong Hong suddenly raised his head, "I can smell different water qualities, but then I'm just a mysterious master, can I still compete with those Xuan Kings after smelling it?"
"We are in charge of finding it, and Miss Shi's family will go and grab it."
"Then what if those Xuan Kings found out when we were looking for it? Wouldn't it be a blink of an eye for them to kill us?"
"That's right, Miss Shi can't protect all of us by herself, right?"
"Probably because we want to do logistics?"
"Impossible, impossible. The Bixiao Society has been around for decades. I have never heard of the need for any logistics, and I have heard that there is a limit to the number of people who can enter the island. It is a dozen at most. Our It’s probably more than half of it.”
After such a chat, everyone's emotions that had been soothed with difficulty just now erupted again in an instant.
"This... this is why we should die! I don't care, we are going to die anyway, so I might as well find a chance and escape."
"Yes! I'm not going either!"
Just when everyone was excited, someone suddenly shouted: "Miss Shi is back!"
For a moment, there was no sound in the yard.
After all, everyone present knew that the Shi family was in charge of their fate, and they were just talking about escaping. If they really dared to escape, the Shi family would definitely catch them back, and there was only one result waiting for them.
So before they were completely desperate, they still hoped that they had guessed wrong, that Miss Shi had come to them for something else, not forcing them to die.
Stepping into the small courtyard, Jiang Beiran knew that everyone must be frightened when he saw everyone lowered their heads and looked sad.
Seeing their fearful faces, Shi Jiamu couldn't help but said, "What are you doing, it's good to have you here, why are you all looking at me like this?"
Twelve people, you look at me, I look at you, and then look at the three people who are walking.
Shi Jiamu and the others naturally recognized them. The other one seemed to be the eldest lady of the Shi family. As for the one in the middle who looked at them with a smile, several people also recognized it. It was Jia Hai who had recently gained a lot of fame in Linglongfang. Qingtian-Jiangbeiran.
Some of those who didn't know him guessed that he was the masked man.
'I heard he was a very good-natured man. '
'He was very polite when he came to see me yesterday. '
'Seeing how kind he is, he certainly won't push us into the pit of fire. '
For a while, the mentality of the twelve people calmed down a little, and they were not as panicked as before.
After realizing that these people felt relieved when they saw Jiang Beiran, Shi Jiamu was a little dissatisfied. He obviously talked to them in a good voice, so why should he be afraid of her alone.
Just as Shi Jiamu was about to speak, three options suddenly popped up in front of Jiang Beiran.
[Option 1: Comfort everyone with kind words. Completion Reward: Drifting Frost and Thunder Record (Earth-level Low-Rank)]
[Option 2: Motivate everyone with rewards. Completion reward: Jiyue Illusionary Book (mysterious top grade)]
[Option 3: Tell everyone that if you don’t behave well, you will die. Completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]
'Good guy, they're all bitches, aren't they? '
Looking at the three options that popped up, Jiang Beiran's thoughts became clear in an instant.
Anyway, you can't say good things to them, and they will float away if you say good things, and they will obey orders obediently if they are frightened.
Knowing this major premise, Jiang Beiran stretched out his hand to stop Shi Jiamu who was about to speak, stepped forward and said with a smile, "I believe you have already guessed why you are here."
"..."
Twelve people looked at me again, and I looked at you, but no one answered.
Jiang Beiran didn't wait for their answer, and continued to say: "The purpose of coming to you this time is to let you show off your strengths and go to Jinding Island to find natural materials and earthly treasures."
"what!?"
When they heard that they were really going to Jinding Island, the twelve people suddenly exclaimed.
Zhong Hong, who had the loudest voice, couldn't help shouting: "My lord, our cultivation base is low, and we don't even..."
Before Zhong Hong could finish speaking, Jiang Beiran looked at him with a smile and said, "Since we have found you, it means that you have to go if you want to go, and you have to go if you don't want to go."
"Hiss..."
Twelve gasped. Doesn't this mean that there is no discussion
Seeing that the system didn't have the option to skip to completion, Jiang Beiran knew that he was still too gentle.
So he took out a stack of talisman papers from his bosom and handed them to Shi Jiamu, "Paste them on their foreheads."
Shi Jiamu, who took the talisman paper, was stunned for a while. In her impression, the uncle was definitely not such a villain who likes to make things difficult for others. She thought he would come over to comfort these people, but she never thought that he would threaten them.
"Go." Jiang Beiran urged.
"Oh..." Shi Jiamu nodded after taking the talisman paper.
Although he can't figure it out, Shi Jiamu believes that the uncle must have his purpose in doing this, after all, he never does anything he is not sure about.
Since he chose to believe in Jiang Beiran, Shi Jiamu also cooperated very cleverly, and came to the twelve people indifferently, and pasted the talisman papers on their heads.
These twelve people were already afraid of Shi Jiamu, but now that they saw her showing such a terrifying expression, they dared not resist even more.
"Snapped"
Zhong Hongcai trembled when the talisman paper was pasted on his forehead, but in the next second, he found that the talisman paper blocking his eyes was gone.
'What... what's going on? Zhong Hong raised his hand and touched his forehead, and found it was a little hot. He turned his head to look at the others, and found that the talisman paper that had just been pasted on their foreheads had disappeared, replaced by a strange symbol. on their foreheads.
"This is the dry tracking talisman. Once this mark is stamped, no matter where you go, we can find you in an instant. I believe you should understand what I mean."
Seeing that most of the twelve orders began to turn pale, Jiang Beiran felt that the pressure should be enough.
"So I hope everyone can cooperate with us this time. I really don't want bloodshed, after all..."
Jiangbei Ranlu flashed a bright smile in an instant: "I'm not a devil."
'You are the devil! 'Almost everyone present shouted in their hearts.
[Optional mission completed, reward: Spirit +1]
Seeing the mission reward jump out, Jiang Beiran knew that he had completely suppressed the twelve people, at least no one would jump out to make trouble.
"I... I have a question." Ji Zishi suddenly raised his hand and asked.
"Say."
"Can we come back alive?"
"sure."
After speaking, Jiang Beiran walked over and stuffed a map of Jinding Island into his hand.
Then he looked at the people around him and said, "This is the map of Jinding Island. You can take a good look at it. I'll see you in two hours."
After speaking, Jiang Beiran left the yard with Shi Jiamu and Shi Fenglan.
Walking on the road, Shi Jiamu kept sneaking glances at Jiang Beiran, and felt that he got to know this uncle again today.
Back in the room, Shi Jiamu went to Shi Fenglan's side and asked in a low voice: "Little aunt, did uncle do this before?"
"What kind?" Shi Fenglan asked strangely.
"Just like today, threatening others like a big villain."
"A big villain?" Shi Fenglan shook her head, "No way, Xiao Beiran is not a big villain."
"But he scared those workers like that just now, didn't you see that those people were about to cry?"
"That doesn't mean that Xiao Beiran is a big villain. On the contrary, Xiao Beiran must be the person who most wants to bring them all back safely." Shi Fenglan looked at Jiang Beiran and asked, "Am I right, Xiao Beiran?" Beiran."
Seeing Shi Fenglan's bright smile, Jiang Beiran also smiled slightly, and replied, "Guess?"
Seeing his little aunt and uncle smiling at each other, Shi Jiamu felt that there seemed to be an indescribable tacit understanding between them, a very inexplicable kind.
In the backyard, twelve people were still running around like ants on a hot pot.
"What to do? What to do? They really plan to let us go to Jinding Island!"
"It's dead, it's dead now, that man is crazy, no! Devil!"
"I still want to take the sixth-grade refining master exam at the end of the month! How can I be so unlucky!" Wei Deyuan grabbed his hair, but found that several people were squatting on the ground studying the Jinding Island. map.
"Are you really planning to go to that island!?" Wei Deyuan shouted.
Ji Zishi, who was looking at the map, turned his head to look at him and said, "Otherwise? Now that we have all been marked, it is impossible to run, so why not think about how to survive on that island. "
"It's easy to say! The island is full of King Xuan, and they are all the kind who kill people casually. How can we survive?"
Ji Zishi shook his head and replied: "The high-level officials of the Shi family are not stupid, and Bi Xiao must be very important to the Shi family. Since you have chosen us, you must have a perfect plan, otherwise you wouldn't be so foolish, and By now… "
Ji Zishi looked towards the hut not far away, "We have no other choice but to trust that person."
Everyone was stunned for a while after listening, and then sighed heavily.
"What is this called!"
Then they squatted down to the side of the map and looked at it seriously.
