I Just Won't Play By The Book Chapter 121 – Why Was There Another Earth Grade

Chapter 121 Why Was There Another Earth Grade

After the two Sect Masters complimented each other, Lu Yinlong looked at the female disciple behind Huang Yuanqing and said, “If I remember correctly, your name is Qiuyan, right?”

Upon hearing this, Ren Qiuyan immediately cupped her hands and said, “I didn't expect Sect Master Lu still remember me. I am really flattered.”

Yupt, the familiar face that Jiang Beiran saw was not Huang Yuanqing, but Ren Qiuyan who was following behind him.

Jiang Beiran did not how, but he always bumped into her. Moreover, judging from the system's option, this person was also a troublesome person. After Ren Qiuyan finished speaking, Huang Yuanqing continued, “She also like to play Go, so I thought of bringing her over to ask for advice from your sect's little Go saint.”

After saying that, Huang Yuanqing patted Ren Qiuyan's shoulder and said, “Didn't you just say that you admire Beiran's Go skill? Why are you so quiet when you're here?”

Ren Qiuyan blushed when she heard that. However, she immediately recovered and cupped her hands towards Jiang Beiran. “Greetings, Brother Jiang. The game you played just now was really wonderful. I reviewed the game and there were a few points that I didn't quite understand. I wonder if I can ask you for some advice.” As soon as Ren Qiuyan finished speaking, two options jumped out in front of Jiang Beiran.

[ Option 1: Agree to the request. Reward for completion: Dragon Tooth Dance (low tier earth grade)]

[ Option 2: Reject Ren Qiuyan. Reward for completion: Random basic skill points + 1]

“What the heck… how come she trigger an earth grade option?”.

Jiang Beiran sighed in his heart and chose option 2. Then, he shook his head and said, “Sorry, I only like to study Go by myself. I'm not good at teaching others.”

[ Chosen quest completed. Reward: forging + 1]

The other three people were stunned.

Logically speaking, even if Jiang Beiran didn't want to teach, he wouldn't refuse her in front of the two Sect Masters, right? Lu Yinlong was the first to react. He patted Jiang Beiran's back and said, “She sincerely wants to learn from you. Why are you doing this?”

He first cupped his hands toward his Sect Master, then turned to Huang Yuanqing and Ren Qiuyan. He cupped his fists and said, “I am just telling the truth. If I have offended you, please forgive me.”

Huang Yuanqing laughed after hearing that. “It's okay. It's normal that you can't teach her.”

Then, Ren Qiuyan also cupped her hands and said, “It was Qiuyan who was rude. Brother Jiang, you don't have to apologize.”

In order to prevent the atmosphere from becoming more awkward, Huang Yuanqing left with Ren Qiuyan after chatting for a while.

After sitting down again, Lu Yinlong looked at Jiang Beiran a few times with a strange look. Finally, he asked, “Do you have a grudge with that Ren Qiuyan?”

Jiang Beiran shook his head and said, “No, this is my first time meeting her.”

“So, you think she's ugly?”

Jiang Beiran continued to shake his head. “No.”

“Then why did you embarrass her in public?”

“Because I'm afraid of death!” Although he wanted to shout this sentence out, Jiang Beiran still shook his head and said, “I'm just telling the truth. I really don't know how to teach others to play Go…”

Lu Yinlong shook his head after hearing that. “I see, talented people do have some special quirks. It seems that I don't know you well enough.”

“No… I'm really just an ordinary little disciple.”

After a while, seeing that no Sect Master came to congratulate him, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands to Lu Yinlong and said, “Sect Master, I want to go back to the game just now. If…” “Go, go. I can tell that you couldn't sit still.” Before Jiang Beiran finished, Lu Yinlong made a shooing gesture to Jiang Beiran.

“Thank you, Sect Master.”

After saying that, Jiang Beiran left the banquet and ran outside the banquet hall.

“Hu…”

Jiang Beiran let out a long breath and slightly relaxed.

This was the first time he experienced the feeling of standing under the spotlight after joining the Sect of Returning Hearts. Other than feeling tired, he didn't feel anything else.

“As expected, it's better to stay at home alone.”

At the thought of this, Jiang Beiran began to miss the flowerbeds and the cuties at the back of his mountain, as well as his alchemy room and forging room. What couldn't be happier than staying at his sweet home?

Unfortunately, it was just a wonderful thought. He still had to face the reality.

“But what's going on with this Ren Qiuyan? I got rid of her so many times and yet she's still coming to me. I don't really believe that it's a coincidence. She seems to have been trying to get close to me, but I don't think I have any interaction with her. Why would she want to get close to me so badly?” After thinking about it carefully for a while, Jiang Beiran realized that Ren Qiuyan had only appeared after he had received the clan-destroying quest. Could there be a connection between them?

“She wants to assassinate me?”

“That's not possible. She is very petite. If she wants to assassinate me, she's too weak to trigger the system option.”

“Is she trying to get something from me?”

“But what does she want? The information on the Sect of Returning Hearts? That's impossible. In the eyes of others, I should be just an ordinary good-for-nothing. Why must she use me? or…”

“Stop!”

Just as Jiang Beiran was trying his best to analyze what Ren Qiuyan was trying to do, a delicate shout suddenly sounded in the air.

Jiang Beiran raised his head and realized that it was Mu Yao.

“Tsk… as expected, after enjoying a few days of special events, the pain will also follow.” Sighing in his heart, Jiang Beiran pointed to himself and asked, “Looking for me?”

“Yes! I'm looking for you!” Mu Yao glared at Jiang Beiran and roared. This was the first time Jiang Beiran had seen this young lady of the demonic cult up close. She was dressed in a different black outfit from when they first met. Today, Mu Yao's black hair was swaying gently with the butterfly steps. Her pale white skin was like an egg that had just been peeled. Her pair of sparkling eyes were quite cute.

Her small red lips and white skin were even more distinct. A pair of small dimples were evenly distributed on both sides of her cheeks. Even when she was angry, a pair of dimples were faintly discernible on both sides of her cheeks.

Her clothes were a light red water-sleeved frock coat, paired with a green water skirt with drizzling rain and cold silk. She was wearing a pair of cherry-blue embroidered palace shoes. She didn't look as seductive as a woman of the demonic cult.

Overall, Jiang Beiran felt that she looked like a junior high school student. But her body had not develop yet. He could even imagine that she was actually a man disguised as a woman. “May I know why Miss Mu is looking for me?” “Tell me! Did you cheat?”

“Cheat?” Jiang Beiran was stunned. “What do you mean?” “How could my brother lose! You must have cheated!”

“How can I cheat with blind Go?”

“I don't know! But you must have cheated! Otherwise, Jiuri wouldn't have lost!”

Slapping his forehead, Jiang Beiran said helplessly, “Miss Mu, if you think I cheated, you can go tell the Sect Masters or your cult master. I don't have time for this, pardon me.”

After saying that, Jiang Beiran turned around and left.

However, Mu Yao immediately caught up to Jiang Beiran's front and pulled out the Frost Flower Sword that was emitting cold air. She pointed it at Jiang Beiran and said, “If you don't make it clear today, I will kill you!”

As soon as Mu Yao finished speaking, three options appeared in front of Jiang Beiran. [ Option 1: Teach Mu Yao a lesson. Reward for completion: Jade Clear Sword Scripture (low tier of earth grade)]

( Option 2: Convince Mu Yao with words. Reward for completion: Zephyr Precious Scroll (middle tier of black grade)]

[ Option 3: Shout loudly to attract everyone. Reward: random basic attribute points + 1] “F*ck! It's another earth grade! As expected, happiness is short-lived, but misfortune is eternal.'

After choosing option 3, Jiang Beiran suddenly took a deep breath.

Not knowing what Jiang Beiran wanted to do, Mu Yao immediately took out her Frost Flower Sword and said, “Don't play any tricks, or I'll stab you to death with my sword!”

After taking a deep breath, Jiang Beiran circulated a wisp of mystic energy in his body and shouted loudly, “Demoness Mu Yao is trying to kill me!”

The voice traveled for hundreds of meters in an instant. Hearing it, Mu Yao was completely stunned.

“You! How can you ask for help!”

“I can't beat you! Of course, I need to ask for help. I can't just wait for you to stab me. Besides, I've also shouted your name. If you stab me to death now, you won't be able to escape the crime.”

“I… I…” For a moment, Mu Yao didn't know what to say. Jiang Beiran's actions had completely exceeded his expectations. While she was hesitating, she felt several powerful auras flying toward her at high speed.

“I'll come to you again!” After saying that, Mu Yao turned around and ran away in a sorry state. “What bad luck…”

While Jiang Beiran was lamenting in his heart, several figures descended to his side. Apart from the righteous Sect Masters, several demonic cult masters and Yin Jianghong also arrived at the same time.

“Are you alright, Beiran?” Lu Yinlong went up to check on Jiang Beiran's physical condition and asked.

“I'm fine. Fortunately, you arrived in time and scared that witch away.”

Seeing the other Sect Masters looking at him, Yin Jianghong smiled and said, “If my precious daughter really wants to kill him, do you think he can hold on until we arrive?”

The Sect Masters understood this reason. With Mu Yao's ability, it was indeed easy for her to kill Jiang Beiran, who was just a level five qi refining stage disciple. “Beiran, what's going on?” Guan Shi'an asked at this time.

“That witch pulled out her sword and pointed it at me, saying that I cheated just now. If I don't admit that I cheated, she'll kill me.”

“Hahahaha.” Yin Jiang Hong was the first to laugh. “She's just trying to scare you. You might not believe it if she tells you, but this girl hasn't even killed a chicken yet.”

Looking at the “Are you trying to scare me?” expression of Jiang Beiran, Yin Jiang Hong shrugged and said, “I'm telling the truth. Anyway, my daughter is mischievous. I apologize to you on her behalf.”

For a mystic sect level expert to apologize just like that, Jiang Beiran naturally had nothing more to say.

Seeing that the other Sect Masters were also satisfied with this result, Yin Jianghong moved in front of Jiang Beiran again and said, “However, I can't control my daughter. Although she won't kill you, it's very likely that she'll beat you up. Why don't you follow me? I guarantee that you'll be fine.”

As soon as Yin Jianghong finished speaking, Guan Shilan said, “No need. In my territory, he doesn't need your protection. Besides, let me say something ugly first. If your daughter comes to threaten Jiang Beiran again, I won't let it off easily.”

“Okay, I'm offering my help. How ungrateful. Let's go.” After saying that, Yin Jianghong led the demonic cult masters out of the alley.
