"This time, the Yingjie Youth Meeting is a comprehensive competition. In addition to learning martial arts, rhythm, calligraphy, painting, and chess must be competed one by one. In the end, the sect with the highest total score wins. In order to show off, it was a hemorrhage, and very attractive rewards were prepared for the leaders of each project."
"Others may not know, but in terms of playing chess, not to mention Jiangbei District, even the entire Fengzhou cannot find a young disciple who can compete with you, so this time I decided to let you represent our Guixin Sect to participate in playing chess This is a test."
Just as Jiang Beiran was about to speak, he saw the system options pop up.
[Option 1: Directly reject Zhang Heqing. Completion reward: Sacred Seal of Jiangyun (Earth-level Top Grade)]
[Option 2: Persuade the Sovereign not to participate in this matter. Completion reward: Eight Consciousness Guiyuan Method (Mysterious Level Top Grade)]
[Option 3: Break away from Guixinzong. Completion reward: Illusory Sea Treasure Record (mysterious level low-grade)]
[Option 4: Agree to this matter. Completion reward: random basic skill point +1]
'Stay north! ? What is this for! ? '
Looking at the four options in front of him, Jiang Beiran was stunned. It had been a long time since he had encountered the option of the top-ranking prefecture-level. Combined with the following two options, if he didn't go this time, Guixinzong would probably die. It was directly wiped out!
'Could it be the Hongmen Banquet that the Yuezong put on? '
However, Jiang Beiran didn't let his shocking emotions show on his face, he directly chose four and then agreed: "The disciple takes orders."
"Oh, don't rush to refuse, this time... um!? You agreed!?" Zhang Heqing looked at Jiang Beiran in shock and asked.
Zhang Heqing had already thought of several sets of excuses, and secretly swore that no matter what excuses Jiang Beiran made this time, she would force him to go, but he didn't expect him to agree...
"Yes, it is the disciple's honor that the hall master is willing to entrust this important task to the disciple."
"Ah, ah, ah, ah!" After hearing this, Zhang Heqing got up, went around the table, walked to Jiang Beiran's side and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "I knew you were a sensible disciple! You knew when to stand up for the sect. Come out, my hall master is very pleased!"
"Hall master is absurd. This disciple has been cultivated by Guixin Sect for many years, so he should do his best for the honor of the sect."
"Bei Ran, I never thought of you..."
Hearing Zhang Heqing's voice suddenly choked up, Jiang Beiran quickly looked up and found that Zhang Heqing was wiping tears.
'Not so much, boss... Do I need to be moved to this extent? '
Standing up quickly, Jiang Beiran really didn't know what to do for a while, so let's comfort the hall master a few words, it feels weird, help the hall master wipe his tears, it feels even weirder.
Seeing Jiang Beiran's bewildered look, Zhang Heqing wiped away tears and said, "I lost my temper for a while, and I always thought you were a disrespectful, rebellious, talented..."
"Hall master, hall master! Can we just skip the part of derogation and just praise it directly? This disciple knows it's wrong."
"Okay, okay." Nodding, Zhang Heqing said with emotion: "It seems that I misunderstood you before, but in fact, you still regard the sect as your home in your heart."
"That's natural. If there is no Guixin Sect, the disciple would have died outside. For the sake of the sect, the disciple is willing to go through fire and water!"
"Very well, I am really touched that you have such a heart, please sit down."
Sitting back in her seat again, Zhang Heqing took a sip of hot tea, and after calming down for a while, she continued, "This time, the birthday banquet of the Sect Master of the Moon Sect is scheduled for mid-September. Although I know you are very good at chess, I still hope If you can practice hard for a while during this period, it is always right to take it seriously.”
"Yes."
'Is it mid-September... that is, there are still nearly two months left, and I have to make more preparations. Judging from the difficulty of this option, if I am not prepared enough, I may hit the bottom line. Yellow-level, or even Xuan-level options. '
Looking at Jiang Beiran's face of serious thinking, Zhang Heqing was almost relieved.
Poured himself another cup of tea, Zhang Heqing said, "Beiran."
"The disciple is here."
"You just said that you were helping Hall Master Shi take care of the flowers and plants?"
"Yes." Jiang Beiran nodded.
"Actually, I have a lot of research on flowers and plants. How about I go with you some other day? You can't just let you work hard for our hall, right?"
"Hall master also likes flowers?"
"Doesn't it look like it?" Zhang Heqing asked, posing.
"Like, very similar! The hall master is so considerate of the disciple, the disciple is deeply moved."
"Should be, should be, then you go talk to Master Shi about this matter tomorrow, if she agrees, I will go with you."
"Agree...? Agree to what?" Jiang Beiran asked in confusion.
"Well..." Zhang Heqing hesitated for a moment before replying: "Since you have met Master Shi, you should know that she is a bit special, so the master once made a rule that the number and time of us high-level people going to the Garden of Mirrors... There are some restrictions, but if Hall Master Shi allows it, it will be fine."
'I see… '
Jiang Beiran suddenly thought of those disciples who lined up at the gate of the Mirror Garden every day.
'It's miserable...'
With a sigh in his heart, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands and agreed: "The disciple understands."
Smiling and nodding, Zhang Heqing continued: "Are you satisfied with the training center that was designated for you in the back mountain?"
"Satisfied, quite satisfied, the aura of that land is very sufficient, the hall master has taken care of it."
"You have done so much for Lanxintang, it's all due, and I still remember you said you wanted some Thunder Charcoal, right?"
'…'
'So I've said it all... Hall Master, you are abusing your private power! ! ! '
Whether it is forging or alchemy, it is inseparable from the crucial condition of fire, and Thunder Charcoal is a very good fuel. It can not only generate high temperatures that ordinary charcoal fires cannot reach, but also make the surrounding aura more active, so that The refined elixir is more effective.
However, good things like Lei Gongtan are considered rare even if you look at the entire Guixin Sect, and most of them are divided up by Yishantang and Baizhangtang, so as a disciple of Lanxintang, it is really very difficult to apply for this. Disaster.
But now... A hall master is obviously going to use his power to open the back door for him again.
Sighing in his heart, Jiang Beiran nodded and said, "Yes, this disciple has wanted this thing for a long time."
"Okay, since you still want it, I'll help you find a way."
"Thank you Hall Master."
"Well, let's do this, come, drink tea, drink tea, it's cold."
After drinking for three quarters, Jiang Beiran left the room amidst Zhang Heqing's voice of "Snack more", turned to look at the bright starry sky, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but shook his head.
'Oh, Guixinzong takes jujube pills. '
