I Just Won't Play By The Book Chapter 222

"I wouldn't dare." Lu Yinlong smiled and cupped his hands. Then, he looked at Jiang Beiran and said, "Beiran, Sect Master Guan has something to do in our Sect of Returning Hearts this time. He also wants to meet you. This is a great blessing for you."

"Yes." Jiang Beiran cupped his hands toward Guan Shi'an. "Thank you for your concern, Sect Master Guan."

Nodding with satisfaction, Guan Shi'an said to Lu Yinlong, "Sect Master Lu, didn't you say that you were going to find someone to take me around Sect of Returning Hearts? Why don't you let Beiran take me?"

Lu Yinlong was stunned at first, but he quickly nodded and said, "Of course, no problem." Then he said to Jiang Beiran, "Beiran, did you hear that? You have to accompany Sect Master Guan for a good walk."

"Yes."

At this point, Lu Yinlong and Jiang Beiran had already understood one thing.

It was that Guan Shi'an didn't want to see Jiang Beiran while he was doing other business in their sect. Instead, he had specially come to look for him.

As for the reason, Lu Yinlong wasn't very clear about it, but he would definitely ask Guan Shi'an properly after the matter was over.

Jiang Beiran could guess some of the reasons why Guan Shi'an came to look for him. It was because he had contributed a lot to this purging operation. Most importantly, he had come up with many ideas for this operation, and they were all useful ideas.

Now that they were worried about how to divide the cake, they immediately thought of him.

At this moment, Jiang Beiran thought his "holiday" had ended.

After Guan Shi'an and Lu Yinlong exchanged some pleasantries, Jiang Beiran brought Guan Shi'an down Tianyun Peak. On the way, he introduced every blade of grass and tree on Tianyun Peak to Guan Shi'an seriously.

"Little Friend." Guan Shi'an said after Jiang Beiran introduced another flying stone.

"Yes, I'm here." Jiang Beiran cupped his hands and spoke.

"You don't think I really want you to be my guide, do you?"

"Well… I can only be a guide for Sect Master."

Guan Shi'an smiled slightly after hearing that. "I've already broken Huang Yuanqing's sea of essence and locked him in the dungeon."

The sea of essence was the place in a person's body where the spiritual essence was converted into mystic energy. If the sea of essence was scattered, then the cultivator was not different from a cripple. When Guan Shi'an told Jiang Beiran, Jiang Beiran naturally knew what it meant.

Huang Yuanqing was the "traitor" that Jiang Beiran had personally pointed out, and he had pointed it out before the purging campaign began. Now that Huang Yuanqing had been confirmed to be one of the "traitors", that meant that he, Jiang Beiran was indeed an expert who could predict things.

Sighing in his heart, Jiang Beiran nodded and said, "Huang Yuanqing deserved his punishment for go against Sect Master Guan."

"Stop talking nonsense. I came here this time to ask if you have any other opinions about the change in Fengzhou this time."

"Sect Master Guan… Something is wrong with you. No, you've changed. You've learned something bad from Yin Jianghong!" Jiang Beiran thought.

If it was the last time they met, Guan Shi'an would not have spoken so rudely, and he would not ask the question directly.

It seemed that he and Yin Jianghong had cooperated in the past six months.

However, as long as the system did not alert him, no one could shake Jiang Beiran's heart of being an idle person!

Therefore, he thought for a moment and cupped his hands. "I have been been cultivating in the mountain for half a year and hasn't heard much news. I really don't have any opinions. Sect Master Guan, please forgive me."

"Really?"

"Really." Jiang Beiran nodded his head with certainty.

"Hahahaha!" Sect Master Guan suddenly burst into laughter after hearing it. "Your answer is exactly the same as what Yin Jianghong said."

Guan Shi'an laughed as he recalled what Yin Jianghong had told him in Sect of Returning Hearts. "If you ask him directly, he will definitely say that he doesn't know anything. I have already seen through this kid. As long as the matter doesn't fall on his head, he will definitely not care. So, when the time comes, you can just get straight to the point with that kid."

Shaking his head, Guan Shi'an turned his back and said, "Little Friend, now that Fengzhou is in ruins, there are still many things waiting to be done. There are still powerful enemies waiting outside. Do you think that we, as the people of Fengzhou, should do our part?"

Jiang Beiran's heart could not help but thump when he heard this, but he still cupped his hands and said, "Of course."

"Good. Now, not only do the major sects and demonic cults in Fengzhou need to be reorganized, but they also need to cultivate the people's livelihood. However, the current emperor is too muddle-headed. He only knows how to play politics, causing the imperial court to be in a mess. The people are also suffering. Do you know…"

"Wait… wait, wait, wait, wait!" The more Jiang Beiran listened, the more he felt that something was not right. What was this prelude of receiving a great mission from the heavens?

However, no matter how much Jiang Beiran refused in his heart, Guan Shi'an continued to spout his long speech until he slowly turned around.

"Little Friend, although you don't have any talent in cultivation, that Old Fox Yin Jianghong can't even compare to you when it comes to reading people's minds."

"I don't know why Cult Master Yin said that, but I really…"

Guan Shi'an waved his hand calmly. "Sigh, let me finish first."

"Yes…" Jiang Beiran nodded.

"Just like just now, if it were an ordinary qi refining realm disciple, he would never dare to interrupt me or question anything I said, but you dare to do so because you know I won't get angry because of it."

"Perhaps there are many disciples who can guess that I won't get angry, but only you dare to interrupt me. They don't dare to gamble, and you're different from them. This is your confidence, your confidence in your ability to judge others."

"F*ck! You must have learned from that Old Fox Yin Jianghong!"

One had to admit that Guan Shi'an's words were watertight. How could ordinary junior disciples dare to bargain with the mystic master? After all, the difference in status was too big, and the aura of mystic master alone could crush people to death.

Only Jiang Beiran had the system as a guarantee, so he dared to say many things without restraint.

Seeing that Jiang Beiran did not speak, Guan Shi'an turned around and patted him on the shoulder.

"This is a very outstanding ability. You have to know that the word 'wise' in a wise ruler also meant the ruler must have the ability to distinguish talented people."

"F*ck! Is this for real?!"

Although Jiang Beiran had already guessed that Guan Shi'an had this intention from his long speech just now, he still held on to the hope that it would be a fluke. Right after Guan Shi'an finished his last line, Jiang Beiran confirmed that it was completely set in stone.

This old man was here to make him an emperor!

"What the hell is wrong with your brain! Is this how you choose an emperor! This is outrageous!" Jiang Beiran cursed in his heart.

Guan Shi'an patted Jiang Beiran's shoulder twice more and continued, "After saying so much, you should have already understood the purpose of my trip, right? That's right. Whether it's Cult Master Yin or me, we feel that it's best for you to be the new emperor of Sheng Kingdom."

Just as Jiang Beiran was about to make his final struggle, the option that had been silent all this time suddenly popped up.

[ Option 1: Reject Guan Shi'an. Reward: Manual of Crossing Sins (high-tier earth grade)]

[ Option 2: Select another person as the new emperor. Reward: Manual of Sea Severing Pills (low-tier earth-grade)]

[ Option 3: Express your willingness. Reward: Random basic attribute points + 1]

"What!?"

Jiang Beiran had never expected that the system, which had always made him keep a low profile, would actually give him such an option. In the past, when he wanted to practice the internal cultivation method, the system would have reminded him that it was very dangerous to do so.

Now, it was not dangerous to be the emperor?

"Hiss…"

After the excitement, Jiang Beiran suddenly calmed down. He thought about it carefully. Compared to being a cultivation genius, being an emperor was indeed less dangerous.

This was because in the eyes of cultivators, an emperor was actually a small puppet that no one cared about. However, because it was personally chosen by the two mystic masters, they had a very strong backing and basically no one dared to touch him.

Therefore, in a sense, an emperor was indeed a very secure job.

Thinking about it, Jiang Beiran suddenly felt at ease. Being an emperor was indeed an exceptionally suitable route for his wretched development. There were people on the top of him and also people at the bottom. Naturally, there were fewer and fewer things that he needed to do personally.

"Not bad. Not bad at all."
