I Just Won't Play By The Book Chapter 163

Although it was already late at night, Jiang Beiran still came to the front of Order Master Zhang's house in the end. Otherwise, it would be too impolite not to pay a visit to his order master on the first day back. Even if Order Master Zhang had already fallen asleep, Jiang Beiran could still say that he had come to visit him.

It had to be said that the guards in the Sect of Returning Hearts were very well-trained. It was clearly already midnight, but the two guards guarding the door were still standing upright, with no intention of slacking off.

These two guards were familiar with Jiang Beiran. Jiang Beiran went up to greet them before asking, “Is Order Master resting now?”

A younger ma man replied, “Not yet. These few days, Order Master will only return to his bedroom after midnight. He's been busy.”

“In that case, I'll have to trouble the two of you to inform him that I'm here.”

“Alright, wait a moment.”

Very soon, the report came back so full that Jiang Beiran could go directly to Order Master Zhang

After thanking the two of them, Jiang Beiran walked to the door of the hall and was about to open his mouth when he heard a voice from inside, “Come in.”

Therefore, Jiang Beiran directly pushed the door open and walked in. He subconsciously glanced at the shelf where the cups were placed.

“Huh? Why is there a bowl?”

Looking at the porcelain bowl that was surrounded by the cups, Jiang Beiran was also a little confused. Other people would think that it was just a new collection.

However, despite his curiosity, Jiang Beiran did not look at it anymore. He merely glanced at it before looking back at Zhang Heqing. However, just as he was about to clasp his hands in salute, his expression was once again shocked.

Flowers.

Pots and pots of flowers were placed around the long table in front of Zhang Heqing. Moreover, they were of different varieties. It could be said that hundreds of flowers were blooming at the same time.

Seeing Jiang Beiran's shocked expression, Zhang Heqing rubbed his chin in satisfaction and said, “How is it? Are these flowers beautiful?”

“Yes… I didn't expect Order Master to have such high attainments in growing flowers.”

“Hahaha, didn't I tell you last time that I'm very good at taking care of flowers? Do you think I'm lying to you?” “I wouldn't dare. It's just that I didn't expect your attainments in growing flowers to be so high.”

“Not bad, not bad. After going out once, you're even better at talking.” After Zhang Heqing finished speaking, he walked around the long table to Jiang Beiran and patted his shoulder. “I really didn't misjudge you. When it's time to make a move, you make a move. Sect Master gave you a good round of praise during the meeting. I am really proud of you. Tell me, what reward do you want? Feel free to mention it.”

As soon as Zhang Heqing finished his sentence, three options popped up in front of Jiang Beiran.

[ Option 1: Name the reward you want. Reward: Thousand Revolution Scroll (low tier black rank)]

[ Option 2: Decline modestly. Reward: Fire Order (high tier yellow rank)]

[ Option 3: “Order Master, please pass this kind of opportunity to other disciples in the future.” Reward: Random basic attribute points + 1]

After choosing option 3, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands and said, “In that case, please pass this kind of opportunity to the other disciples.”

[ Option mission completed. Reward: Constitution + 1]

Zhang Heqing sighed, “Sigh, I thought you went out to change your personality. It seems that I was overthinking.”

“I also want to give the other disciples more opportunities.”

“Hehe.” Zhang Heqing laughed expressionlessly. He took out a storage ring inlaid with green gemstones and threw it at Jiang Beiran. “This is the Thunder Lord Charcoal that you wanted. I got a lot for you.”

Jiang Beiran reached out and caught the storage ring. He cupped his hands and said, “Thank you, Order Master Zhang.”

Although he already had the Molten Charcoal that Wu Qingce gave him, no one would complain about having too much of such good stuff.

Zhang Heqing patted Jiang Beiran's shoulder again. He said with a slight sigh, “I knew that as long as you were serious, there wouldn't be many people in the entire Fengzhou who could beat you. Moreover, you've also seen that even if you don't have any cultivation talent, as long as you have extraordinary abilities, you can still make a name for yourself. Therefore, you have to continue working hard in the future.”

“I will remember your teaching.”

“Oh right, Sect Master told me that you would probably return after a while. Why did you return to the sect in just a few days?”

“Oh, things went quite smoothly, so I came back earlier.”

“However, I'm not too surprised that you're serious and reliable.” After saying that, Zhang Heqing hesitated for a moment. Then, he changed the topic. “Come, come, come… how do you think of my Buddha Mulberry?” Zhang Heqing stood beside a pot of bright red Buddha Mulberry and asked.

After listening to him, Jiang Beiran stepped forward and commented, “The petals are obovate, round at the beginning, and thin and fluffy on the outside. It seems that you know that Buddha Mulberry likes warmth and moisture.”

“Not bad, not bad. It's very interesting to talk to people who also know about flowers.” After saying that, Zhang Heqing pulled Jiang Beiran and commented on the other flowers.

When Jiang Beiran finished appraising the last one, Zhang Heqing was amused by him and was in a good mood. He said happily, “Then tell me, if I invite Law Protector Yu to admire the flowers, will she like it?”

“Sigh, you're doing all these works just for a woman.” Jiang Beiran sighed in his heart. Then, he replied, “I believe she would like it.” “Good. I am relieved with your words.” After saying that, Zhang Heqing said with a sigh, “Guess what. After you went out, more and more orders wanted to cooperate with the Order of Water Mirror, especially Yang Yulin of Order of Chaos Star. Because Wu Qingce won the match, so he kept bluffing how good his teaching method was. When people ask what his teaching method is, he can't give a proper answer at all.”
