[Option 1: Enter the mansion. Completion reward: Flying Snow Secret Formation Map (earth-level mid-level)]
[Option 2: Turn around and leave. Completion reward: random basic skill point +1]
'Um? '
Just as Jiang Beiran was about to open the door and enter the mansion, two system options popped up.
'what's the situation? '
Jiang Beiran's hand that pushed the door stopped, thinking that Lin Yuyan should be the only one in the mansion now.
Then look at Xia Lingdang beside her.
Jiang Beiran suddenly realized.
'Tsk, it seems that if you really want to take Lin Yuyan under his command, you still have to train him a little bit more. '
After choosing two, Jiang Beiran took Xia Lingdang and walked outside.
[Optional task has been completed, reward: divination array +1]
Jiang Beiran originally planned to go back to the mansion to arrange the self-enchantment first, and then proceed to the next plan, but the plan could not keep up with the changes, and building a self-enchantment in the Six Kingdoms was not the top priority, so it was skipped.
Looking for a private room in a restaurant to sit down, Jiang Beiran took out a piece of talisman paper, wrote a few lines, folded it into a cardboard box, and put it out of the window.
"Gulululu..."
At this time, Jiang Beiran suddenly heard a "roaring" sound from his stomach. Looking back, Xia Lingdang had already lowered his head shyly.
Sitting back at the dining table, Jiang Beiran greeted Xia Lingdang and said, "Sit down, eat quickly if you're hungry, it'll get cold later."
"Gudu..." Swallowing a big mouthful of saliva, Xia Lingdang shook his head and said, "No... no, master, you can eat first, I... I just have a cake to eat."
After listening, Jiang Beiran glanced at Xia Lingdang's patched sackcloth, shook his head and sighed, "I told you before, there are not so many rules for being a servant here, please sit down."
But Xia Lingdang still kept shaking her head.
"No, I know that the master is a very good person, but since I am a servant, I must obey the rules."
Jiang Beiran couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
He poured himself a glass of wine and asked, "Then what do you think is the rule of being a servant?"
"My mother told me that the maids of the landlord's family are never allowed to eat at the table, but can only stand aside and wait..."
Speaking of this, Xia Lingdang slapped her hand fiercely and said: "Look at my strength, how can I let the master pour the wine yourself, I will pour it for you, I will pour it for you."
As Xia Lingdang said, she stepped forward and picked up the jug.
Feeling the simple aura coming from Xia Lingdang, Jiang Beiran still had a hard time connecting her with a heavenly option.
'It's outrageous...'
"Gulululu..."
While Jiang Beiran was thinking, another "boom" sound came, and Jiang Beiran smiled and looked at Xia Lingdang and said, "Sit down."
This time, without waiting for Xia Lingdang to refuse, Jiang Beiran continued: "Did your mother ever teach you that a girl should listen to her master at all times?"
"This… "
"Okay, stop this and that, this is my order, sit down and fill your stomach quickly."
"Yes Yes!"
After Xia Lingdang finished speaking, she sat on a chair and picked up the bowl.
Just looking at the delicious food on the table, Xia Lingdang became flustered, not knowing where to put her hands.
Seeing this, Jiang Beiran picked up a piece of purse loin and put it in Xia Lingdang's bowl, "Eat."
"Thank you, master."
Xia Lingdang nodded sharply, picked up the bowl and devoured the meal hungrily.
It's just that every bite she ate was rice, but she didn't touch the ridge at all.
Jiang Beiran just smiled after reading it, and didn't say anything else. Anyway, as long as she can fill her stomach, it's fine. As for whether she eats vegetables, she can change it slowly in the future.
But I have to say that Xia Lingdang still has a strong sense of servanthood. Although she is immersed in eating, as soon as she sees that Jiang Beiran's wine glass is empty, she will immediately stand up and fill it up for Jiang Beiran, and then continue to sit back to eat.
The food on the last table didn't move much, but Xia Lingdang ate up all the bucket of rice that was ordered, and even at the last bite, the tenderloin that Jiang Beiran gave her was still intact.
'As far as this appetite is concerned... it is indeed a talent. '
Looking at Xia Lingdang's bulging belly, Jiang Beiran wanted to laugh, but he didn't.
There are thousands of poor people like Xia Lingdang in this world, they have no human power, no human happiness, and no human dignity.
And it has nothing to do with whether the country in which they live is prosperous or declining.
It perfectly interprets what is meant by "prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer."
As if feeling Jiang Beiran's gaze, Xia Lingdang raised his head and glanced at him, and said with some embarrassment: "Is it because I eat too much... Actually, I don't usually eat so much, as long as..."
"Don't worry, as the host, it's okay to keep you full. Go ahead and eat. I'll take you to buy two new clothes when you're full."
"Ah!?" Xia Lingdang quickly shook her head, stood up and pulled at the hem of her clothes and said, "My clothes are easy to wear, I don't need new clothes."
But this time, Jiang Beiran just looked at her quietly.
After just looking at each other for a second, Xia Lingdang was defeated, sat back on her seat and said, "The master has the final say, I wear new clothes, new clothes."
Nodding in satisfaction, Jiang Beiran was just about to drink when he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in." Jiang Beiran put down his glass and said.
"Xiao~ Bei... Huh!?"
The moment the door was pushed open, Shi Fenglan wanted to jump directly at Xiao Beiran, but found a dark girl sitting on the table.
I froze there for a moment.
The moment Xia Lingdang saw Shi Fenglan, she stood up abruptly, wiped the rice from her mouth, and stood behind Jiang Beiran.
After looking at Xia Lingdang for a while, Shi Fenglan looked at Jiang Beiran and asked curiously, "Xiao Beiran, who is she?"
"I bought the maid."
"Ah?" Shi Fenglan froze for a moment, then looked at Xia Lingdang, smiled and waved, "Hello."
Xia Lingdang was obviously taken aback after hearing this.
Because of her ugliness, when everyone saw her for the first time, even if they didn't laugh at her, they would cast strange eyes on her.
Until the master's family appeared, not only did he save her, but he didn't show any dislike for her in his eyes.
Xia Lingdang originally thought that only the master's family would be so different in the world, but she never expected to meet a second person who didn't look at her strangely so soon.
"You... hello." Xia Lingdang looked at Shi Fenglan and said hello.
Seeing the two greet each other, Jiang Beiran looked at Xia Lingdang and said, "Sit down and eat."
"I... I'm full."
"Okay, then you can stand up and digest." After finishing speaking, Jiang Beiran looked at Shi Fenglan again, "Why are you here so fast?"
"I have already prepared the things I need to prepare when I go back, so I will come as soon as I receive your letter from Xiao Beiran."
"Alright, then I'll go to the street to buy some clothes for Ling Ding, and you sit here for a while."
"I'm going too!" Shi Fenglan immediately got up and said.
"Fine."
After paying the bill, Jiang Beiran took Xia Lingdang and Shi Fenglan to the street together, found a cloth shop at random and bought some clothes for Xia Lingdang, and the three of them sat in Shi Fenglan's Feifu together.
Unlike Feishuo and Xiangyun, which require cultivation to ride, ordinary people in Feifu can also ride, which is why Jiang Beiran called Shi Fenglan here, otherwise, who knows that the Year of the Monkey will bring Xia Lingdang back to Sheng Kingdom.
Feifu was still so safe and secure, and he sat on it all the way back to Shengguo Jiangbei, but he didn't see an option.
Although comfortable, but also a little pity.
Because recently he discovered that this new batch of attribute points has gradually begun to play a role.
This is much earlier than he expected.
He originally thought that he would have to wait at least a few more years, but it seems that this batch of brand new attribute and skill points does not need to accumulate hundreds of points as before to play an obvious role. Only a few dozen points have already made Jiang Bei Feel the change in yourself.
For example, clicking [Perception] last time made it easy for Jiang Beiran to spot Shi Fenglan who was wearing nothing.
And recently, when he was arranging the self-enchantment, he found that he often had a flash of inspiration in his mind, thus setting up a more mysterious front.
There is a high probability that the [Divination Array] skill point is at work.
So seeing that these new points have begun to play a role, Jiang Beiran is still very motivated to brush up.
It's just that he still has business to do now, so it's not too late to talk about some things later.
When staying in Feifu, Xia Lingdang was obviously more cautious, she didn't dare to sit on the bench that Shi Fenglan invited her to sit on, for fear that she would dirty it by sitting on it.
So I stood firmly in the corner of the hall, not even daring to breathe out.
This made Shi Fenglan ask Jiang Beiran curiously, "Xiao Beiran, are you going to bring her back to Xinzong?"
"Yes." Jiang Beiran nodded.
"Let her practice?"
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran wanted to say, "Children don't ask too much", but suddenly it occurred to Shi Fenglan that what Shi Fenglan said made sense.
First of all, if Xia Lingdang has no cultivation, it will be very inconvenient to take her with her.
Secondly, since Xia Lingdang has the fate of the protagonist, he should dig out her potential as soon as possible.
In this way, maybe Xia Lingdang will soar into the sky directly, and he won't need to be his "oil bottle" anymore.
So no matter how you think about it, getting Xia Lingdang to join the Guixin Sect is a deal that can't be lost.
So Jiang Beiran nodded, looked at Shi Fenglan and said, "I'm going to let her enter the Water Mirror Hall, is it okay?"
"Of course!" Shi Fenglan patted her chest, and said with a strong promise: "Leave it to me, and I will let her enter the inner hall directly."
"En." Nodding, Jiang Beiran looked at Xia Lingdang who was trembling nervously in the distance.
'I don't know what kind of talent she will be tested...'
One day later, Fei Mansion landed firmly in front of Guixinzong. Jiang Beiran walked down Fei Mansion and said to Shi Fenglan, "You go back first, and I'll bring the bell over later."
"Okay~" Shi Fenglan waved to Xia Lingdang after finishing speaking: "I'll go first, Sister Lingdang, see you later."
Looking at Shi Fenglan who was gradually going away, Xia Lingdang said: "That sister is really a good person."
"Well, after joining the sect, you can completely trust her."
"Ah!?" Xia Lingdang exclaimed, "Ju...Juzong? What is Ruzong?"
"It is to enter the sect to practice."
"Cultivation!?" Xia Lingdang was even more surprised, "I...I don't know how to do it."
"If you don't know how to go to school, it will be very inconvenient for me to take you with me when I go out in the future."
As soon as she heard that she was causing trouble to the master, Xia Lingdang immediately said: "Okay! Although I am quite stupid, I will definitely study hard and not cause trouble to the master."
"It's good that you can think so, let's go."
Since Xia Lingdang came to Guixinzong for the first time, Jiang Beiran was asked some questions as the person who brought her here.
After answering all the questions, the gatekeeper disciple recorded Xia Xia Lingdang's name, and then let him go.
When going up the mountain, Jiang Beiran thought for a while, then took Xia Lingdang and walked towards Shuijingtang.
Although the seedlings who have just been brought into the sect need to be gathered together for a test first, but Jiangbei still has a back door to go, so naturally he won't waste that time.
All the way to Shuijingtang, Jiang Beiran took Xia Lingdang to Tinglan Waterside Pavilion with ease.
"Boom."
As soon as Jiang Beiran knocked on the door, he saw that the gate of the courtyard was pushed open.
"Brother Jiang!" Xiaoduo shouted with great joy.
Looking at Xiaoduo, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Jiang Beiran nodded to him and said, "How are you doing recently?"
"It's good, except that Brother Jiang is not here... the courtyard is very deserted."
"Xiao Beiran!"
Hearing Shi Fenglan's shout in the distance, Jiang Beiran smiled and said, "It has nothing to do with me that the courtyard is deserted."
After speaking, he took Xia Lingdang into the Tinglan Water Pavilion.
Looking at the vibrant flowers in the yard, Jiang Beiran praised: "Xiaoduo, you cultivated these flowers well."
Xiaoduo smiled embarrassedly at first, and then replied: "It's all because Brother Jiang taught them well, otherwise I wouldn't be able to raise them well."
While the two were talking, Shi Fenglan was already waving frantically at the door.
"Oh, Xiao Beiran, why are you so slow, come in, come in."
Jiang Beiran naturally ignored it, and stepped into the nave in a leisurely manner.
"Xiao Beiran, after going out for so long, I found that I still prefer to stay here than to come to my house. I'll go and call the boys and the others to play a game of imitation cultivating immortals, okay? I haven't talked to everyone for a long time. Let's play this together."
Jiang Beiran glanced at Shi Fenglan, but did not expose her.
The reason why she is so eager is entirely because Shi Jiamu taught her a few small routines when she was in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, such as how to manage money, how to develop, and how to avoid wars.
After learning this, Shi Fenglan felt that her ability to play imitation cultivating immortals had greatly improved, and she would definitely be able to bloody Liu Zijin and the others.
"Let's put aside those who imitate cultivating immortals. This time I'm back to get down to business. First, you can find someone to help Ling Dang test her cultivation talent."
"Oh~" Hearing the word "business", Shi Fenglan stopped making noise, turned to Xiaoduo and said, "Xiaoduo, go and find Manwen."
"Yes." Xiaoduo agreed and ran out the door.
Not long after, Xiaoduo's shout sounded outside the door.
"Master, I brought Guardian Yu."
Shi Fenglan immediately jumped off the chair, shouting "Manwen~" and rushed towards the door.
Hugging Shi Fenglan who was rushing towards her, Yu Manwen glanced at Jiang Beiran for the first time.
The latter also got up and bowed to her, saying hello.
"I've seen it before protecting the law."
