I Just Won't Play By The Book Chapter 76

“Brother Jiang, thank you so much for saving me in Luoxia Town last time. This is a gift for you. Please accept it.”

In front of a bronze mirror, Fang Qiuyao, who was bowing, slowly raised her head. She looked at herself and the gift in the mirror and sighed. It had been almost two weeks since the two orders had collaborated, but they had not seen Brother Jiang once, as if he was not a disciple of the Order of Blue Heart.

“Sigh…”

Sighing, Fang Qiuyao lay down on the round willow table. She couldn't help but recall the side profile of her Brother Jiang when he checked her pulse.

She couldn't help but smile. Then, Fang Qiuyao took out a small red porcelain bottle and poured out a green pill from it.

At that time, Jiang Beiran gave her three heat-clearing pill to recover. When she was about to eat the last one, Fang Qiuyao couldn't bear to put it in her mouth, so she secretly hid

She put it to the tip of her nose and smelled it. The fresh fragrance was still there.

“I wonder why Brother Jiang's medicine is so different.”

“Dong, dong, dong.”

Just when Fang Qiuyao was intoxicated by the familiar fragrance, there was a knock on the

door.

Fang Qiuyao hurriedly stuffed the heat-clearing pill back into the porcelain bottle and raised her head to ask, “Who is it?”

“It's me. Qiuyao, are you asleep?”.

“Sister Zijin. I'm not asleep yet.” Fang Qiuyao stood up and walked over to open the wooden door.

Liu Zijin held the food box in her hand and smiled. “I couldn't sleep either, so I brought some snacks to chat with you. I didn't disturb you, did I?”

“Of course not, Sister Zijin. Come in.” Fang Qiuyao said as she pulled Liu Zijin into the small room.

Sitting in the small house, Liu Zijin opened the food box and took out a plate of pea cake.

“I just made it. Try It.”

“Wow, Sister Zijin, you really know how to make all kinds of desserts.” Fang Qiuyao couldn't wait to pick up a piece and put it into her mouth. After chewing for a few mouthfuls, Fang Qiuyao nodded. “It's so delicious.”

“I'm glad you like it.”

Looking at Liu Zijin's gentle smile, Fang Qiuyao, who was in the middle of eating, asked, “Sister Zijin, you came to comfort me, right?”

After the daily examination at Leisure Heart Square, the etiquette protector announced the disciples who were going to participate in the gathering of young heroes. Fang Qiuyao and Liu Zijin thought that they had just entered the sect less than a year ago, so it was impossible for them to be selected. However, they did not expect that not only Liu Zijin was selected, but also the three Yu sisters. Only Fang Qiuyao was not on the list.

Regarding such a result, Fang Qiuyao was indeed a little disappointed.

She put the remaining half of the cake into her mouth, Fang Qiuyao swallowed it and said with a smile, “I am a little disappointed, but I am more happy for you guys. Sister Zijin, you play the lute so well. It's not surprise that you're selected.”

Seeing that Fang Qiuyao didn't seem to be putting on a brave front, Liu Zijin replied with a smile, “Actually, you play the zither very well. Otherwise, Law Protector Yu wouldn't have specially come to give you pointers. You're really talented.”

“Sister Zijin, you don't have to worry about me. In fact, I prefer practicing martial arts to playing the zither. But now…”

Fang Qiuyao's expression suddenly became a little disappointed. Ever since she met the “Night Cry Elder,” she lost the passion of becoming a sword-wielding heroine. Her “life plan” that was originally clear had now become blurry.

“I really want to ask Brother Jiang what his dream is…” Fang Qiuyao thought as she stuffed another piece of pea cake into her mouth.

The next morning, Jiang Beiran quietly came to the Tinglan Waterside Pavilion as usual. After greeting Xiao Duo, he walked into the main hall.

Shi Fenglan, who had already heard Jiang Beiran's voice, immediately ran out. As she ran, she shouted, “Little Beiran, Little Beiran

“Greetings, Order Master Shi.” Jiang Beiran cupped his hands.

She ran in front of Jiang Beiran and stopped. Shi Fenglan coughed lightly and said, “I have great news. Do you want to hear it?”

As soon as Shi Fenglan finished speaking, two options appeared in front of Jiang Beiran.

( Option 1: “May I know what Order Master is referring to?” Reward: Red Rainbow Palm (black grade low tier)]

[ Option 2: “I don't want to.” Reward: Random basic skill points + 1]

After choosing option 2, Jiang Beiran shook his head and said, “I don't want to.”

[ Chosen quest completed. Reward: Tea Ceremony+ 1]

“Oh!” Shi Fenglan immediately pouted, “Just say that you want to hear it!”

“If Order Master really wants to say it, then I'll take my leave first.”

Shi Fenglan was about to speak again when she heard Yu Manwen's voice from behind.

“Order Master, it's better if you don't say it. Otherwise, he'll really turn around and run away.”

“But it's obviously a good thing.” Shi Fenglan pouted and said unwillingly.

“Everyone have their own little quirk, right, Jiang Beiran?” Yu Manwen looked at Jiang Beiran and asked.

“Thank you for your understanding, Law Protector Yu.” Jiang Beiran cupped his hands towards Yu Manwen. After being retorted by the two of them, Shi Fenglan lost the excitement. She gave up and said resentfully, “Alright, then let's play Chivale…” halfway through her words, Shi Fenglan remembered that Yu Manwen had not left yet, she quickly changed her words and said, “I mean go fishing.”

Yu Manwen did not expose her. She said, “Don't fool around” and left.

As soon as Yu Manwen left, Shi Fenglan immediately “revolted.” She took out the Chain Fairy that she had been hugging for the whole night and shouted, “Little Beiran, quickly take out the gambling table! I'll definitely be the winner!”

“I need to do my job first.” Jiang Beiran said and walked towards the greenhouse.

At night, Shi Fenglan had just rolled a six and let her Iron Beggar out of the sect. When she raised her head, she saw Yu Manwen quickly walking in.

“We just started playing…” Shi Fenglan hurriedly explained.

However, this time, Yu Manwen did not speak to her first. Instead, she looked at Jiang Beiran and asked, “You agreed to participate in the Masked Moon Sect's gathering of young heroes?” “Yes.” Jiang Beiran calmly nodded.

“You… how could you agree to this kind of thing!?” Yu Manwen asked in astonishment.

“As a disciple of the Sect of Returning Hearts, shouldn't I fight for the honor of my sect?”

“If it were other disciples, then I'll be convinced. But you… unless the Sect of Returning Hearts is facing the danger of being exterminated, you definitely won't participate such event!”

“Hmm!? Is this the sixth sense of a woman? She actually guessed it correctly.” Jiang Beiran was amazed by Yu Manwen's instinct.

However, on the surface, Jiang Beiran still said calmly, “Law Protector Yu, you have a deep misunderstanding of me. I don't participate many other things because my strength is too low. But that's a Go competition, so I won't miss the opportunity.” Although Yu Manwen still had a look of disbelief, she could not find any words to refute Jiang Beiran. Shi Fenglan saw that Yu Manwen did not say anything, she interrupted, “Eh? Little Beiran, you are going to participate in the gathering of young heroes? Then, with your small body, it is indeed dangerous to go there. Do you want me to give you a protective magical item?”
