I Just Won't Play By The Book Chapter 147

After choosing option 3, Jiang Beiran looked at Ah Niu and said, “No, Brother Ah Niu, we're not going to the town.”

“Why?!” Mu Yao and Kong Qianqian shouted at the same time.

Jiang Beiran looked at the two of them and said, “We're here to do business, not sightseeing. Reaching Rivernorth as quickly as possible is what we should do now.”

After hearing that, Mu Yao immediately shouted, “We're just going to the town to find an inn to rest. What does it matter?”

“No.” Jiang Beiran rejected expressionlessly.

After two days, Jiang Bei had become the leader of the team. Mu Yao, who had eaten his food and enjoyed his song, fought for a moment before she turned her head and said, “Humph, if you don't want to go, then don't go. Let me say this first. I'm not listening to you. I just think that it's important to do our mission first.”

Although Kong Qianqian really wanted to go the town and have fun, she did not dare to do anything other than look at Jiang Beiran with a pitiful gaze.

However, no matter how hard she stared at Jiang Beiran, Jiang Beiran did not give her any response. She could only continue to massage her senior sister's shoulders.

Seeing that the three of them had agreed on passing the town, Ah Niu smiled and pulled down the curtain and continue the journey.

Meanwhile, at the Tinglan Waterside Pavilion. Shi Fenglan and Xiao Duo were leaning against the door, watching the bustling streets outside. However, they did not find the person they were looking for.

“Are you sure that Xiao Beiran and the others are back?” Shi Fenglan asked Xiao Duo.

Xiao Duo nodded vigorously. “Yes, I came back to report only after I saw Sect Master getting off the carriage with my own eyes.”

“Then why hasn't Xiao Beiran come yet?” Shi Fenglan pouted and mumbled, “he said that he would come and play with me the moment he came back. He's such a liar, just like my father.”

Shi Fenglan, who was unwilling to give up, was still sitting on a small bench in the garden. Xiao Duo was about to persuade her to eat something when she heard a knock on the door.

“I'll go open it!” As Shi Fenglan spoke, she instantly moved to the front of the door and opened the two doors.

However, when she looked at the people behind the door, Shi Fenglan's expression instantly changed from surprise to disappointment.

Seeing Shi Fenglan's “face-changing” skill, Yu Manwen didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she said, “What? Don't you want to see me that much?”

“No, I…” “Okay, okay, no need to explain. I know who you're waiting for.”

After hearing that, Shi Fenglan suddenly kicked a small stone at her feet. “Who's waiting for him? I'll just sit at the door and look at the flowers.”

After hearing that, Yu Manwen laughed lightly and said, “I just went to the meeting hall. Sect Master specially named and praised a few disciples, and one of them was Jiang Beiran.” After hearing that, Shi Fenglan immediately turned her head and asked, “So he's still with Sect Master?”

“No.” Yu Manwen shook her head. “Sect Master didn't say anything. I went to ask Order Master Zhang. He said that the Sect Master only told him that Jiang Beiran had something to do, so he would come back after a period.”

Hearing that Jiang Beiran didn't return to the sect, Shi Fenglan's expression immediately brightened up.

“It's really strange that he didn't follow the group this time.”

“Yeah.” Yu Manwen nodded. “I also feel that it's strange. He usually hides and walks away from such things. How did he get chosen this time?”

“So, what is he doing?”

“Order Master Zhang said that he doesn't know either. He only said that Jiang Beiran wouldn't be back in short period.”

“Ah…” Shi Fenglan dragged out a long voice. “Sect Master is really too much. Beiran had clearly exhausted after went out for so long. Why Sect Master still ordering him around? I'll go and talk to him.”

“Hey, hey, hey.” Yu Manwen quickly pulled Shi Fenglan back. “If Jiang Beiran finds out that you go and question Sect Master, I'm afraid he'll never come and play with you again.” “That's true.” Shi Fenglan sighed after she finished speaking.

Seeing Shi Fenglan's extremely dejected look, Yu Manwen suddenly remembered she could ask those disciples who had participated in the Gathering of Young Heroes even though Sect Master did not say anything. Thus, she patted Shi Fenglan and said, “Wait for me, I'll be back right away.”

With that said, she left the Tinglan Waterside Pavilion.

At this moment, in Liu Zijin's room, Fang Qiuyao and the three Yu sisters were all here. The five of them were discussing how to ask Yu Manwen to take them in as disciples. Just as they came up with plan D, they heard a knock on the door from outside.

“Who is it?” Liu Zijin asked.

“It's me.”

Hearing Yu Manwen's voice, the five of them looked at each other in confusion. Their faces were full of surprise.

“What a coincidence.”

However, despite her surprise, Liu Zijin immediately stood up and ran over to open the door.

“Greetings to Law Protector Yu.” Liu Zijin cupped her hands and shouted.

“No need to be so polite.”

At this moment, Fang Qiuyao and the others also ran over and cupped their hands towards Yu Manwen. “Greetings to Law Protector Yu.” “Oh? All of you are here.”

Yu Manwen could not help but laugh. Ever since she had made Jiang Beiran as their iron seal, the five of them had become inseparable.

“Law Protector Yu, please come in first,” Liu Zijin said as she made way.

“Okay.” Yu Manwen said as she walked in, “I came to look for you today because I have something to ask you.”

“Law Protector Yu, feel free to ask. We will definitely tell you everything we know.”

“I heard that Jiang Beiran did not come back with you this time?”

Liu Zijin and the other five looked at each other for a while after they heard that. In fact, they only knew that their senior brother really did not go with them when the convoy set off. However, they did not know what exactly happened.

In the end, Liu Zijin nodded and replied, “Yes, Brother Jiang did not come back with us.”
