From Gu Qinghuan's description, Jiang Beiran almost understood the Shen family's "personality".
Helping others, being kind and charitable are the labels of their people.
In Yunzhou, there are legends about the Shen family fighting against injustice and fighting for justice. It is a rare big family that has a very good reputation among practitioners and ordinary people.
In addition, apart from such things as being chivalrous and righteous, the Shen family also likes to "persuade a fight with justice".
After all, where there are rivers and lakes, there are fights.
In order to seize resources and talents, there have been many conflicts between the various sects and families.
And the Shen family is like firefighters, no matter where there is a fight, they will rush to "fight the fire" to prevent the two families from fighting.
As the most prestigious peacemaker in Yunzhou, ordinary families and sects would sell the Shen family some face, even if they didn't stop immediately, the trouble would not be too difficult to end.
If there are more arguments like this, more and more sects and families from the disadvantaged side will be grateful to the Shen family, and at the same time, the Shen family's power network will grow bigger and bigger.
That's right, after Jiang Beiran read Lin Yan's letter, the Shen family's series of "good people and good deeds" have been regarded by him as the family's continuous expansion of its business territory. After all, debts of favor are the most difficult to repay. Once she is helped by the Shen family, her butt will definitely sit on his side.
Over time, when there are more and more "butts" like this, the Shen family's status in Yunzhou will naturally increase.
Just as the saying goes, from the perspective of the conflict between Liu Wen and the two, Jiang Beiran has reason to believe that the Shen family is not just a "firefighter", but also an "arsonist".
I ignite the fire and extinguish it by myself, and then gain both fame and favor.
'Experts...'
Jiang Beiran believes that many of the fights persuaded by the Shen family were indeed started by the two parties themselves, but there are probably not a few of them who were instigated by them like Liu Wen's family.
This shows how ambitious the Shen family is.
They simply couldn't wait for these clans to have their own conflicts, so they tried their best to push back.
Let the "bullet" fly faster.
…
After listening to Gu Qinghuan's report, Jiang Beiran also understood why Gu Qinghuan was so afraid of the Shen family.
They are like a pair of eyes in the dark, you never know when they will stare at you, it can be said to be extremely dangerous.
In addition, it is not the first time they have made such a "small mistake" like Lin Yan, so it is very likely that they have a set of extremely mature methods for dealing with the aftermath.
If it wasn't for the system, Jiang Beiran even suspected that they would have been targeted by now.
For this kind of local snake that has been in business for a long time and can be called an "old tree with rooted roots", it is obviously irrational to confront them head-on, especially Jiang Beiran, who is particularly "cared for" by the Dao of Heaven.
If this really happened, he probably wouldn't even be able to eat.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Beiran looked at Gu Qinghuan and said, "You are almost sure that you will not be targeted by the Shen family after the transaction."
"If you go back to Senior Brother, 90%."
'Very good... I am indeed the one who taught me. Hearing that Gu Qinghuan felt 90% uncertain, Jiang Beiran felt very relieved for a while.
With a compliment in his heart, Jiang Beiran nodded and said, "Okay, then you should try to make an appointment with Wen Yunyan first."
Since Gu Qinghuan is 90% sure that he will be able to escape unscathed, he must try it. Anyway, there will be a system to guarantee the last 10% when the time comes, and it is impossible for an accident to happen.
"Yes." Arching his hands, Gu Qinghuan took out a Qiankun ring and handed it to Jiang Beiran, "Senior brother, here are the notices of the counties in Yunzhou, as well as the local currency and maps, which should be useful to you."
"I'm interested." Jiang Beiran took Qiankun Jie and nodded.
"Then I will prepare first, Junior Brother Luo, let's go."
"Okay." Luo Wenzhou nodded, followed Gu Qinghuan to salute everyone, and left the box.
After Gu Qinghuan left, Jiang Beiran took the rest of the people to check out and left the restaurant, but before going out for a few blocks, the system option was triggered five times, highlighting a crisis everywhere.
Even an accidental bump on the shoulder can trigger the ground-level option, which is simply terrifying.
But this also made Jiang Beiran feel lucky that he had taken in so many good apprentices, otherwise he would have troubles in his daily life, let alone investigation, in such a place where it was difficult for him to move.
"Master Shi, take us into the Fei Mansion."
In a small alley, Jiang Beiran looked at Shi Fenglan and said.
"No problem~"
After Shi Fenglan finished speaking, she immediately summoned Feifu and moved everyone in.
"Xiao Beiran, Xiao Beiran! Are you going to play a simulation of cultivating immortals?"
After entering Feifu, Shi Fenglan shouted excitedly. After being killed by Jiang Beiran, she already understood the true meaning of this game, so she couldn't wait to try it.
And all Jiang Beiran can do now is wait for the news, so under Shi Fenglan's expectant eyes, he nodded slowly and said, "Yes."
"Great!"
With a cheer, Shi Fenglan immediately called the others to put the chessboard and cards away.
Seeing that Wu Qingce was in a daze, Shi Fenglan stepped forward and said, "What's the matter with you?"
After hearing this, Wu Qingce quickly shook his head, and replied, "It's nothing, I'll just go and put the chessboard away."
When placing the chessboard, Wu Qingce kept flashing the scene just now in his mind.
'It turns out that Junior Brother Gu left suddenly and was sent here by Senior Brother. '
Thinking about it, Wu Qingce couldn't help sighing again, thinking that as a senior brother, he hadn't helped his senior brother for a long time, and instead wanted to cause trouble for his senior brother.
But Junior Brother Gu and Junior Brother Luo came to Tan Kingdom, one of the six Central Plains kingdoms, quietly.
You must know that in this country, Xuanzong has to live carefully. It can be said that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers everywhere.
But in such a place, the two of them perfectly solved the task assigned to him by their seniors.
This can be seen from the satisfied expression on the senior brother's face and the several compliments just now.
But now, the two juniors went to help the seniors again, but he could only sit here and gamble...
'What kind of big brother is this...'
Looking at the slumped Wu Qingce at the table, Jiang Beiran naturally knew what he was thinking.
But Jiang Beiran didn't intend to comfort him. Appropriate pressure must be a good thing. Only when he understands his own shortcomings can he make progress desperately.
Besides, he was new here, so it was impossible for him to be of any help to Qing Huan, so he was really asking for trouble here by sighing.
Qu Yangze didn't have so many thoughts. Now he also began to understand the joy of imitating immortal cultivation, and he was studying the magic cards carefully.
"Xiao Beiran, the gambling table is set, come quickly!"
After a while, Shi Fenglan waved vigorously at Jiang Beiran.
"coming."
…
Two days later, Jiang Beiran, who was taking Xia Lingdang out for a walk to trigger the system options, suddenly raised his hand, and saw a paper kite resting on his index finger.
Open the paper kite, the content on it is very simple.
That means Wen Yunyan has already approached Gu Qinghuan, and they will have an interview tomorrow.
Addresses and times are also attached below.
Folding the paper kites again, Jiang Beiran quickly disappeared into a small alley.
"Xiao Beiran, you're back!"
Seeing Xiao Beiran come back, Shi Fenglan, who was making tea on the table, shouted.
"Yeah." Jiang Beiran nodded and sat down at the tea table.
Moving closer to Xiao Beiran, Shi Fenglan picked up the teapot and put it beside him and said, "Xiao Beiran, I want to drink the scented tea you brewed last time."
Taking out a blue bottle from the Qiankun Ring and pushing it in front of Shi Fenglan, Jiang Beiran said, "It's inside."
"hey-hey."
With a happy smile, Shi Fenglan opened the lid and took a deep breath.
"It smells so good~"
After she was satisfied, Shi Fenglan handed the blue bottle to Jiang Beiran: "Xiao Beiran, can you make it for me, I don't drink it as well as you do."
"Go and boil the water."
"Leave it on me, I'm the best at boiling water~" Shi Fenglan immediately ran to boil water after speaking.
When Jiang Beiran was setting the tea set, Wu Qingce and Qu Yangze walked in from the outside yard. When they saw the senior, they immediately came over and saluted, "Senior (Master)."
Nodding his head, Jiang Beiran said, "There's news from Qing Huan, follow me to have a look tomorrow."
When Wu Qingce heard that there was finally something to do, he immediately cupped his hands with Qu Yangze and said, "Yes."
"How's the result of today's sparring?"
Yesterday, Jiang Beiran discovered another advantage of Feifu, that is, it is very suitable for sparring.
The courtyard outside was not only fully able to withstand the destructive power of Qu Yangze and Wu Qingce, but also repaired automatically, it was simply a perfect arena.
Hearing the senior brother's question, Wu Qingce cupped his hands and replied, "During the sparring today, I discovered that Feilei can also interfere with Junior Brother Qu's detection ability, making it even more difficult for him to find me in the Feilei Qi."
The name Fei Lei was given by Jiang Beiran to Wu Qingce's brand new Lei Qi.
Because the biggest characteristic of this purple thunder aura is to make Wu Qingce change faster, so the first word that popped up in Jiang Beiran's mind was.
[Flying Thunder]
Wu Qingce was overjoyed when he heard it, bowed to thank his senior brother for giving him the name, and then said it silently several times, and made two concave shapes from time to time to complement it, as if he had suffered from a second-school illness.
After listening to Wu Qingce's words, Jiang Beiran looked at Qu Yangze and asked, "How does it feel when you are disturbed by Feilei?"
Qu Yangze thought for a moment, then replied: "I feel that the surrounding area is very noisy, and the information fed back by the tentacles is also chaotic, as if a piece of cake has been broken into crumbs."
Although Qu Yangze's metaphor is a bit strange, Jiang Beiran can understand his meaning very well.
'It sounds a bit like magnetic field interference... If it is developed, it should not only be able to interfere with the opponent's detection ability. '
Then Jiang Beiran looked at Qu Yangze and said, "What about you, have you discovered anything new about your body?"
Qu Yangze nodded, stretched his right hand in front of Jiang Beiran and said, "Look, Master."
As soon as Qu Yangze finished speaking, he saw a very brightly colored mushroom growing out of his arm, which still looked fleshy.
"How come this has changed from an insect department to a plant department..."
After carefully observing the mushroom on Qu Yangze's arm, there is one thing Jiang Beiran can be sure of.
This is definitely a highly poisonous mushroom that can make people lie down with a single bite, but he searched his information database, but he couldn't find any information about this mushroom. It is very likely that it is a new species.
Seeing that Master was watching carefully, Qu Yangze immediately stretched out his left hand and pulled out the mushroom on his right arm, and handed both hands to Master, saying: "Master, here you are."
After taking the mushroom, Jiang Beiran observed it carefully and asked, "What can you use it for?"
Qu Yangze immediately replied: "After eating this mushroom, my physical ability will be strengthened, and different mushrooms will have different effects."
After Qu Yangze finished speaking, several mushrooms grew on his right arm, including red umbrellas, blue umbrellas, purple umbrellas and so on.
'Hey guys... homegrown? Super Mario is crying. '
Of course, this kind of mushroom is obviously a tonic for Qu Yangze, but for others, it is an absolute poison.
"What else?" Jiang Beiran continued to ask.
"I can still control them to explode." After Qu Yangze finished speaking, he took off another mushroom on his arm, but looked around and said, "Master, let me go out and explode it for you to see."
"Okay." Jiang Beiran nodded and stood up.
At this moment, his curiosity was also aroused. Since the two of them completed their transformation, they have become more like "treasure boys" than the other, and they can always dig out something new.
"Water is coming! Huh!? Xiao Beiran, where are you going?" Shi Fenglan, who came back with a teapot, asked curiously.
"Look at the mushrooms, are you coming?" Jiang Beiran replied.
"Mushrooms?" Shi Fenglan blinked her eyes twice, then quickly nodded and said, "I need to see, I need to see."
After finishing speaking, he put down the teapot and followed Jiang Beiran.
When he came to the backyard, Qu Yangze took off a purple mushroom from his arm, looked at Jiang Bei and said, "Master, can I start?"
"Um."
Seeing that Master agreed, Qu Yangze threw the mushroom into the air.
Then there was a "bang", and the purple mushrooms turned into countless powders and exploded.
'Poisonous powder... no, it's spores. '
After seeing the purple powder clearly, Jiang Beiran instantly understood what they were.
Spores are simply the reproductive cells that develop into new individuals after breaking away from their parents. In fact, it is similar to pollen, which is used for reproduction.
In the spirit of dedicating himself to science, Jiang Beiran stepped forward and walked into the purple spore powder.
Seeing this, Wu Qingce couldn't help but gasped.
Although he didn't know what the powder was, he instinctively felt that these powders were very dangerous during the battle just now, and he didn't dare to be stuck by them at all, so when he saw his senior brother walking in without paying attention, he just I can say a word in my heart.
'As expected of senior brother...too strong! '
Shi Fenglan was eager to try, but just as she was about to go in with Xiao Beiran to play, she heard Xiao Beiran shout.
"do not come."
Hearing Xiao Beiran's shout, Shi Fenglan had no choice but to step back in disappointment and continue to watch.
'This spore...is really different from what I imagined. '
Standing in the swarm of spores, Jiang Beiran would inhale a large number of spores into his body every time he breathed, and these spores immediately became active as soon as they entered his body, the intention was obvious and simple.
That is to treat this place as a new home.
However, they soon discover that...
This new home seems dangerous!
