I Just Won't Play By The Book Chapter 62

“Big! Big! Big! Big!!! Aiya!!!”

The sky was turning dark, and the setting sun emitted its last ray. Yu Manwen dragged her tired body back to the Mirror Garden. Then, she heard her Order Master's incomparably excited shout.

She thought about how tired she was when hosting the friendly match for the entire day, and how uncomfortable she was after socializing for a long time. Yu Manwen clenched her fists and rushed in.

“Order Master!”

With a loud shout, the two people who were shaking the dice cup stopped at the same time. “Ahem…” Shi Fenglan's face was covered with papers. She coughed lightly and turned her face to look at Yu Manwen and said, “You're back! Thank you for your hard work today.”

Taking a deep breath, Yu Manwen walked quickly to Shi Fenglan and said, “Order Master, didn't you promise me that you wouldn't mess around with your disciple again?”

“I'm not messing around… I'm just playing around. Besides, I listened to you and didn't drink today.”

Xiao Duo, who was at the side, held back her laughter when she heard this. Shi Fenglan didn't drink the wine because Jiang Beiran only agreed to play with her if she didn't drink. It was clearly not because of her promise with Yu Manwen.

Seeing that Shi Fenglan had given in, Yu Manwen glanced at Jiang Beiran and said, “And you! Why are you messing around with Order Master again? What did I tell you before?”

Jiang Beiran heard this and shook the dice cup twice. With a bang, he smashed it on the table and looked at Shi Fenglan. “Big… or small?”

“Hiss…”

Realizing that Jiang Beiran had completely ignored the angry Yu Manwen, Shi Fenglan's eyes widened, not knowing whether she should reply or not.

Seeing that Shi Fenglan did not reply, Jiang Beiran released his hand from the dice cup and said, “You don't want to play anymore? Then I'll leave.” After saying that, Jiang Beiran got up and was about to leave.

“Hey! Wait, wait! I bet big! This time, it must be big!”

After hearing that, Jiang Beiran opened the cup, and the dice inside were displayed as 1,3, and 5 respectively.

“It's 9 points, which is small.” Jiang Beiran picked up a piece of paper and pasted it on Shi Fenglan's face without mercy.

“Damn it! It's my turn to shake!” Shi Fenglan had just reached out her hand to grab the dice cup when she felt an aura burst out from behind her that made her heart tremble.

“How about… Manwen, you play with us too?” Shi Fenglan smiled and turned her head to ask.

Without answering Shi Fenglan's words, Yu Manwen directly went forward and slapped the table and said to Jiang Beiran, “Jiang Beiran, what are you doing?”

Jiang Beiran calmly drank a mouthful of tea, he then waved his hand at Shi Fenglan and said, “It's your turn.”

However, before Shi Fenglan could reply, Yu Manwen stood in front of Jiang Beiran and said angrily, “Jiang Beiran, I'm talking to you!”

Jiang Beiran looked up at Yu Manwen and said, “Oh, I don't want to talk to you.”

Shi Fenglan, who had no idea what had happened, was already hugging the maid, Xiao Duo. She asked in a muffled voice, “Are they fighting?”

“Yes… They should be.” Xiao Duo nodded.

After listening to Jiang Beiran's direct answer, Yu Manwen, who was on the verge of exploding, calmed down instead.

“Are you angry about the cooperation between the two orders?”

“That's right.” Jiang Beiran nodded.

“I'm doing this for your own good, so you can impress Order Master Zhang.”

After hearing this, Jiang Beiran smiled slightly, put down the teacup, and said, “Well, I don't like it.”

“You!” Yu Manwen choked again. “Then I apologize to you.”

“I don't accept it.” “Why!” “Why do I have to forgive you just because you apologize?” Faced with Jiang Beiran's question, Yu Manwen thought for a while before answering, “But I didn't do anything too overboard, did I?”

Jiang Beiran stood up and replied, “First of all, I'm grateful that you care about me so much, but I've once talked to you open-heartedly and expressed that I want to continue at my own path. You also agreed with my decision and said that you won't interfere anymore.”

“So, I don't care what is your reason this time, but I don't like what you have done. At the same time, I don't plan to treat you as an elder that I can talk to with my heart again.”

Although Jiang Beiran's tone was very flat when he said this, it made Shi Fenglan and Xiao Duo, who were hugging together, tremble as they listened.

Gulp…

After swallowing her saliva, Shi Fenglan asked in a faint voice, “Would a normal person say it so directly…”

Xiao Duo shook her head after hearing that.

Yu Manwen was also stunned by Jiang Beiran's words. The reason why she agreed to the cooperation between two orders sessions this time was to play a prank on Jiang Beiran. Also, she did have the intention to encourage Jiang Beiran to perform well.

However, she didn't expect Jiang Beiran's reaction would be so big.

“I…”

Yu Manwen did not know what to say, because Jiang Beiran had indeed repeatedly emphasized that he did not want to be stand out in public, but she did not seem to take it seriously. She always thought that she should push this smart disciple.

Seeing that Yu Manwen did not speak anymore, Jiang Beiran looked at Shi Fenglan and asked, “Order Master, do you still want to continue?”

Shi Fenglan looked at Yu Manwen, then at Jiang Beiran, and finally said, “Quarreling… quarreling is not good.” Jiang Beiran shook his head. “This is not quarreling. We're just make things clear.”

“But…”

Before Shi Fenglan finished speaking, Yu Manwen said to Jiang Beiran in a very serious tone, “This time, I was too self-centered and let down your trust in me. I apologize to you.”

“I'm sorry.”

After saying that, Yu Manwen continued, “If I make the corresponding compensation, can you forgive me this time?”

“Oh, that will do.” Jiang Beiran nodded decisively.

“Ah!?”

Shi Fenglan plead for Yu Manwen, but she was surprised by Jiang Beiran's unexpected answer.

Yu Manwen was also a little stunned, but soon she revealed a smile and said, “Okay, I will prepare this compensation well.”

“Then… Law Protector Yu, do you want to play a few rounds?” Jiang Beiran picked up the dice cup and spoke. “Yes, yes, let's play a few rounds together.” Shi Fenglan also took the opportunity to shout.

Yu Manwen first laughed, and then suddenly shouted, “No more games!”

“Okay, then I will leave.” As Jiang Beiran spoke, he cupped his hands toward Shi Fenglan and quickly walked out.

“Hey! Jiang Beiran! Don't leave me alone! Hey!!!”

Hearing Shi Fenglan's miserable howl, Jiang Beiran laughed happily. Regarding Yu Manwen's actions this time, Jiang Beiran was actually very angry. This was because in the Sect of Returning Hearts, he rarely opened up his heart to anyone, but Yu Manwen had betrayed his trust.

However, when Yu Manwen apologized just now, she was very sincere. She did not put on any airs as a law protector. This caused Jiang Beiran's originally hardened heart to soften again.

After all, what Yu Manwen did this time was indeed not too overboard and did not cause him any trouble. Furthermore, after this incident, Jiang Beiran believed that she would finally understand his decision of staying low profile.

“Moreover, she said that she would give compensation. She's a law protector, so she must have some good stuff. I have no reason to refuse at all.”
