I Just Won't Play By The Book Chapter 104

“It's another day without any gains. At present, it seems that the probability of a sudden incident is the highest. Sigh, this kind of thing is the most troublesome.”

Taking a bite of the sesame seed bun in his hand, Jiang Beiran sat on an uninhabited mountain slope and looked into the distance. This was a good place that he had found when he was investigating everywhere in the Sect of Masked Moon. Sitting on this slope, he could just see the Rui River, which had divided the entire Fengzhou into two. At a glance, the vast white-water surface was like a clean white stream. At this moment, it was evening. The sunset glow that had just appeared reflected on the surface of the water, staining the white stream with brilliant colors, embellished with rosy clouds.

“Good scenery, good scenery. Sect Master Guan of Sect of Masked Moon really knows how to pick a place.”

He then picked up a bun from a lotus leaf and put it into his mouth. Jiang Beiran was enjoying this rare leisure time.

But in the next second, he felt someone quietly walking towards him. It was Ye Xincai.

She had obviously been overly enthusiastic towards him these two days. Jiang Beiran didn't deliberately avoid her because he was worried that if he kept avoiding her, her inexplicable enthusiasm would become more and more intense. When the time came, it would be even more troublesome to do something irrational with many people around.

Therefore, Jiang Beiran had been thinking of ways to dispel her enthusiasm. It didn't matter if he tried to please her or reject her. In short, he just hoped that he could send her away as soon as possible.

Therefore, in the past two days, Jiang Beiran had tried to pander to this junior sister from various angles. But every time, the option would appear in less than three sentences, which made him very worried.

“Sigh, if you have the ability to give me the options, then why don't you help me get rid of her…” Jiang Beiran blamed the system in his heart.

“Eh? Brother Jiang, why are you here?”

Ye Xincai pretended to be surprised. She carried the food box and walked to Jiang Beiran's side.

Realizing that the system did not jump out of the option at the first moment, Jiang Beiran replied, “The scenery here is not bad.” “Yeah, it's really beautiful.” After saying that, Ye Xincai brushed her hair behind her ear against the breeze.

After doing this, Ye Xincai couldn't help but feel proud in her heart. “The accidental encounter at dusk, coupled with the perfect timing to reveal half of my profile. How is it, Brother Jiang? You must be so happy that I'm with you now, right?” Ye Xincai thought happily.

However, when Ye Xincai stole a glance at Jiang Beiran from the corner of her eyes, she discovered that he was still eating a steamed bun. His brows were tightly furrowed as if he was thinking about something, and he had no intention of looking at her at all.

“Hehe, is he thinking about what topic he should continue with? He looks really nervous.” Ye Xincai wanted to spice thing up, so she sat beside Jiang Beiran and opened the food box.

“These few days, I discovered that the Sect of Masked Moon really has a lot of delicious food. Today, I specially went to the kitchen to ask what the secret is, but I didn't expect that the chef was so nice that he directly taught me a few private dishes. This is also my first-time cooking, I don't know if it's good or not. Brother Jiang, why don't… you help me try my dishes?”

As soon as Ye Xincai finished her sentence, two options popped up in front of Jiang Beiran.

[ Option 1: Agree to try the dish. Reward for completion: Thousand Feet Seal (earth grade low tier)]

[ Option 2: Indicate that you are full, turn around and leave. Reward for completion: Random Basic Attribute Points + 1]

“Sigh…” Jiang Beiran sighed in his heart. He understood that this “protracted battle” had to continue.

After choosing two, Jiang Beiran stuffed half of the bun in his hand into his mouth and said, “I'm full. You'd better find someone else to try your dishes.”

After hearing that the 'Chosen quest has been completed. Reward: Physique + 1', Jiang Beiran stood up and walked down the hill.

Looking at Jiang Beiran's figure as he turned around and left, Ye Xincai could not help but sigh in her heart.

“The delicious food personally cooked by a cute junior sister is indeed too strong for him now. I still have to take it slowly. I can't rush it, I can't rush it.”

After saying that, she opened the food box and started eating

Leaving the hillside, Jiang Beiran was planning how to deal with this Junior Sister Ye. Then, he suddenly felt a gaze looking at him. Using his mind power to scan the direction of his gaze, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but frown.

He picked up a pebble from the ground and threw it at a pine tree by the roadside. “Aiya!”

With a scream, Sister Yu fell from the tree.

Yu Guimiao, who was sitting on the ground, blinked twice. She avoided Jiang Beiran's eyes and pretended to whistle. Jiang Beiran immediately knew she was pretending, because she could not make a sound at all.

Jiang Beiran, who was already annoyed by Ye Xincai, could not help but pinch the bridge of his nose. From the day of the departure, Liu Zijin and the other three had not shown any abnormal behavior, and they had not triggered any option. This made Jiang Beiran feel much more at ease with them, but now it seemed that… he seemed to be happy too early.

“Shh… Shh…”

Yu Guimiao, who was still pretending to whistle, kept glancing at her senior brother from the corner of her eyes. When she saw that Jiang Beiran was still staring at her, she quickly turned her head and continued to whistle hard. Bean-sized beads of sweat kept dripping down her forehead.

“Didn't Sister Zijin say this Cloud Breathing Technique is very good at concealing oneself? I've been practicing it for three months; how could I be discovered by Brother Jiang so quickly?” Yu Guimiao thought nervously. “Sigh…”

Jiang Beiran let out a long sigh and looked at Yu Guimiao. “Don't follow me anymore. Remember our promise.”

After saying that, Jiang Beiran picked up two more rocks. Yu Guishui and Yu Guimiao, who were on the other two trees in the distance, were so frightened that they quickly climbed down.

Moreover, their reactions were the same as Yu Guimiao's. They avoided Jiang Beiran's gaze and pretended to whistle. When Jiang Beiran completely disappeared from their sight, the three sisters let out a long breath and gathered together. “I was scared to death…” “What should we do? We were discovered by Brother Jiang so soon. We can't carry out the rest of the plans.”

“Anyway, let's go back and tell Sister Zijin first.”

After saying that, the three sisters looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

After returning to the guest house, Jiang Beiran was tired. There was originally only one trouble, but now there were six of them. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, “As expected, handsome people have to bear more troubles than ordinary people.”

“Brother Jiang, you're back.” Seeing Jiang Beiran push the door open and enter, Mo Xia, who was sitting in front of the Go board, hurriedly stood up and ran to Jiang Beiran with a basin of water. “Please wash your hands.”

“Oh, thank you.” Jiang Beiran put his hand into the basin and rubbed it twice. Looking at Mo Xia's puppy-like expression, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but laugh. “Come, play Go with

me.”

“Thank you, Brother Jiang!”

Mo Xia treasured the opportunity to play Go with Jiang Beiran very much. Although Jiang Beiran had been busy outside most of the time in the past few days, he would still play a few games with Mo Xia every night when he came back.

Although his senior brother didn't say it, Mo Xia knew that his senior brother would always play Go-guiding with him. Although he had never played a few games, he had really learned a lot.

“Brother Jiang, actually, you don't have to go easy on me every time.” Mo Xia said to Jiang Beiran after he finished counting the pieces.

Jiang Beiran smiled slightly and asked, “Do you want me to play a game with you with all my strength?”

Mo Xia lowered her head in embarrassment after being exposed, but he quickly raised his head and nodded, “Yes!”

“Haha.” Jiang Beiran rubbed Mo Xia's hair and smiled, “There will be a chance. Improve yourself. You have a very good talent.”

“Thank you, Brother Jiang!” Mo Xia stood up and bowed to Jiang Beiran, “I will try my best to get your recognition!”

As soon as Mo Xia finished speaking, Jiang Beiran sensed the mystic energy emitted by Wu Qingce outside the door, so he put the Go piece back into his friend's hand.

“I should go for a walk.”

“Okay, take care.”
