I Just Won't Play By The Book
Chapter 61: Could the Sect Leader Hiding Something?

Jiang Beiran immediately rejected Zhang Heqing’s request for him to be more attentive at the friendly match. The exchange condition was very simple, that was, he would still secretly set up a bridge between the two orders.

And today, in the morning class, Jiang Beiran was once again convinced of how wise his decision was.

The hormones released by this group of animals almost polluted the air. Some disciples got up early in the morning to do their hair styles, switched their machetes to folding fans, and slapped the white stone powder on their faces. They were like animals trying their best to find a mate.

Jiang Beiran could completely imagine that whenever Liu Zijin and the others waved at him and shouted, “Brother Jiang, long time no see” or something like that, the system notification would definitely explode in an instant.

“But there’s a problem with coming here…” Jiang Beiran thought as he looked at Shi Fenglan who kept begging him with a disdainful look.

“Come and play! Come and play! This is really fun!” Shi Fenglan grabbed Jiang Beiran’s sleeve with one hand and shouted with the other hand holding a dice cup.

Jiang Beiran sighed helplessly and said, “As the Order Master, you should do your responsibility like the other Order Masters. It’s still not too late to go to Yan Peak.”

“No way!” Shi Fenglan rejected decisively. “It’s not like I want to be the Order Master.”

Hearing this, Jiang Beiran raised his eyebrows, but he didn’t intend to understand in detail.

“Then, Order Master Shi, just wait for your disciples to come back and play with them. I still have business to attend to.”

“They don’t even dare to look at me. How would they dare to play with me?”

“I don’t dare either.” Jiang Beiran said very sincerely.

“No way! You’ve clearly played with me! And you didn’t go easy on me.”

“Order Master Shi, please have some self-respect. I still have to continue teaching Xiao Duo how to take care of these flowers.” After saying that, Jiang Beiran squatted down and continued to tell Xiao Duo how to take care of this pot of cold moonlight.

“Humph! Just you wait!” Seeing that Jiang Beiran was really ignoring her, Shi Fenglan turned around and ran back into the house.

Although he didn’t know what she was going to do, Jiang Beiran didn’t pay too much attention to it. He continued to focus on teaching Xiao Duo.

Ten minutes passed. Jiang Beiran was teaching the jade fan and Kang Ping, the two small leave plants the required light intensity. Suddenly, he heard Shi Fenglan run out with a wild laugh.

“Little Beiran, look at what this is!”

Shi Fenglan opened the brocade box in her hand as she spoke.

Jiang Beiran turned his head to look and saw three options pop up in front of him.

[ Option 1: Name the soul baby fruit. Reward for completion: Six Pentagram Slash (black grade, high tier)]

[ Option 2: Act surprise. Reward for completion: Scroll Axe (yellow grade, high tier)]

[ Option 3: Act confused. Reward for completion: Random basic attribute points + 1]

“F*ck! It’s actually a soul baby fruit!”

Jiang Beiran was shocked. This fruit bloomed once every twenty years and bore fruit once every twenty years. Its long growth period was not only the keys that made it special, but also the specific locations that it grew. Its habitats were all belonged to a few relatively powerful forces.

“Who exactly is this Order Master Shi?”

Although Jiang Beiran’s heart was in turmoil, he still pretended to be at a loss with his many years of acting skill and asked, “This is…2″

[ Chosen quest completed. Reward: Physique + 1]

“Hehe, you don’t know, right? This is called the soul baby fruit. It can make people live and die. It’s a very powerful treasure. Here, let me show you.” Shi Fenglan said as she took out the soul baby fruit and placed it in front of Jiang Beiran.

“This smell… just smelling it makes me feel like I’m going to ascend to heaven. As expected of the excellent tier material on the rare book list.”

However, before Jiang Beiran could smell it for the second time, Shi Fenglan put it away.

“Hehe, do you like it very much?” Shi Fenglan said proudly.

“Yes.” Jiang Beiran nodded directly.

From the system option just now, he knew that this soul baby fruit definitely came from a strong force. Jiang Beiran was determined to get what he really needed. After all, his ultimate goal was to prevent the system from giving any reward above basic attributes.

As for how to do it. He just had to be the strongest being.

A few years ago, Jiang Beiran had already discovered that as his strength increased, the difficulty of the options began to deteriorate. For example, when he first joined the Sect of Returning Hearts, he could easily trigger more than ten options every day. Unlike now, he had to walk through several peaks

before he could barely trigger five.

This meant that there were fewer and fewer people and objects in the Sect of Returning Hearts that could threaten him. Then, by analogy, as long as his strength was so strong that no one could threaten him, he would naturally no longer have to worry about the world’s full of malice towards him.

Therefore, Jiang Beiran had decided to take some risks with these natural treasures that could greatly increase his strength.

“Haha, I knew you liked these strange things.” Shi Fenglan put the soul baby fruit back into the brocade box and covered it again. “How about it? As long as you have fun with me, I’l give it to you.”

Although he had not spent much time with Shi Fenglan, she did keep her words. Therefore, Jiang Beiran believed that she would definitely keep her promise and give him the soul baby fruit.

However, giving him a soul baby fruit was simply a waste of money.

However, this could not help but cause Jiang Beiran to think. From the first time they met, this Order Master had already triggered the system option once.

At that time, Jiang Beiran thought that this Order Master was testing him. If he tuned back or reacted in advance, then his powerful observation would be exposed, and it might cause a series of trouble.

However, after interacting with Shi Fenglan, Jiang Beiran really didn’t think that she would do such a thing. Instead, it was more likely that she wanted to scare him.

Now, if he revealed that he knew this soul baby fruit today, he would immediately cause trouble. Then, he quickly came up with a guess.

He suspected that Order Master Shi had a very powerful background, and she had a very trusted and scheming person by her side. She was very capable.

Shi Fenglan would tell this person what she had seen and heard every day. Then, that person would take action as soon as they heard the slightest hint and investigate the doubts in their heart.

In addition, Shi Fenglan possessed of a soul baby fruit and could become the Order Master of the Sect of Returning Hearts without having to fulfill his obligations.

“Was Order Master Shi a daughter of some super sect that sneaked out to play, it can’t be right?

The higher-ups of the Sect of Returning Hearts were obviously aware of this as well, so they could only let her do her own thing. In any case, she can play however she want, as long as she didn’t harm Sect of Returning Hearts.

If he continued to analyze in this direction…

“Some super sect is related to the Sect of Returning Hearts? I really didn’t know that the Sect of Returning Hearts actually had such a backer. Sect master has hidden it so deeply, I like it.”
