I Just Won't Play By The Book-Novel

414 Ridiculous (1)

“Setting Sun Sword Technique! After activating the Desolation Body, my Strength is now at 16 points. Little Bei Ran, you won’t be able to block this attack.”

“I didn’t plan to block it. When I receive more than 15 points of strength, I can activate the Taiji Roving Dragon and return your attack to you.”

“Ah? When did you learn the Tai Chi Roving Dragon?”Shi Fenglan asked with her eyes wide open.

“I learned it when I fell off the cliff just now.”

“Why didn’t you say so!”

“There’s no rule to tell others what cultivation technique you’ve learned. Hurry up and deduct your HP. I have to say that your Desolation Body is indeed domineering.”

Looking at Jiang Beiran’s slightly mocking smile, Shi Fenglan pouted and deducted three points of her own HP. Just as she was about to shout and continue attacking, she heard a knock on the door.

Jiang Beiran used his Spiritual Power to check and found that Yu Manwen had returned with the five golden flowers.

Just as he was about to leave, three options popped up.

[Option 1: Leave the hall. [Completion Reward: Green Dragon Poison Book (Earth Grade Low-Rank)]

[Option 2: Stay where you are. [Completion Reward: Random Basic Attribute Point +1]

‘???’

Jiang Beiran could not help but shudder when he saw the two options. A look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.

“Stay where you are?”

This option obviously meant that he had to take the initiative to contact the five golden flowers. What was the system up to?

If the five golden flowers were not enough to threaten his safety, the system would not have given him the option. There was only one reason why the system would give him the option, and that was that the five golden flowers or one of them would have some kind of entanglement with him in the future.

‘What a strange circle…’

While she was lamenting, Little Duo had already run to open the door, while Jiang Beiran had already chosen the second option and sat back down.

[Mission completed. Reward: Constitution +1]

Seeing Jiang Beiran stand up and then sit down, Shi Fenglan also revealed a puzzled expression. Although Jiang Beiran had not said anything, she could still sense that Jiang Beiran was deliberately avoiding the five female disciples. Hence, she was a little confused about why he had suddenly acted so strangely.

With a creak, the door was opened. Yu Manwen led Liu Zijin and the other five in.

At this moment, the five of them were all wearing the same training clothes. Their wet hair and dripping sweat made them look strangely charming.

“Good ~ I’m here to help you clear your meridians.””

“Me too, me too ~ My thighs are so sore today.”

..

As usual, the five of them walked into the central hall while chatting and laughing. Just as they were about to raise their heads to salute Shi Fenglan, they saw their senior brother sitting in front of them.

For a moment, the five of them stood rooted to the ground as if they had been petrified. Their faces began to turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

With a swoosh, the five of them quickly hid behind the rockery and combed their hair. They also wiped their sweat clean.

“When did Senior Brother come back?”

“Strange, strange…That’s strange. Even if Senior Brother came back, he shouldn’t be sitting inside, right?”

“Yeah… Didn’t Shixiong always find an excuse to leave when we came?”

“What should we do? Sister Zijin, do I smell weird?”

“No, help me take a look. Is my hair loose?”

“It seems a little. Let me help you comb it.”

..

Yu Manwen sighed as she looked at her five beloved disciples who were completely flustered. She walked into the central hall, sized up Jiang Beiran, and asked,”” When did you come back?”

“I just came out of seclusion yesterday.”

Nodding, Yu Manwen stepped forward and poured herself a cup of tea. She was just as confused as Shi Fenglan.

She knew that Jiang Beiran had been avoiding her five female disciples all this while, so she was surprised to see him doing this all of a sudden.

However, the two of them hid this question in their hearts and did not ask it.

After drinking a cup of tea, Yu Manwen looked at the rockery and shouted,”Are you guys done?””

Hearing their master’s call, the five people who were in a hurry stopped dressing up and walked out from behind the rockery.

They walked to the central hall three times with each step. Liu Zijin and the other five cupped their hands at Shi Fenglan at the same time and said,””Greetings, Hall Master.”

Shi Fenglan, who was dressed in red, looked up and nodded slightly.”Go ahead.”

‘You…Who is it?

As he watched Shi Fenglan suddenly display the domineering air of an empress, Jiang Beiran suddenly couldn’t tell if it was the same person who had tugged at the hem of his shirt and asked for green bean cakes.

After bowing to Shi Fenglan, Liu Zijin and the others went to soak in the medicinal bath with ease. However, they could not help but take a few more glances at Jiang Beiran before leaving. After all, they did not know if they would have the chance to see such a senior brother again.

After Liu Zijin and the rest left with Yu Manwen, Shi Fenglan seemed to have shrunk into a little girl again. She shouted,”Little Bei Ran, quick, it’s your turn to attack.”

Picking up his own move card, Jiang Beiran could not help but glance in Liu Zijin’s direction. For now, he still did not know where the option was.

An hour later, Jiang Beiran caught the injured Shi Fenglan again and defeated her in one fell swoop.

” Ah!” Shi Fenglan screamed in pain and said sadly,””I’m just a little short of completing this chain mission. I’ll definitely be able to turn the tables!”

“Yes, I believe you.” Jiang Beiran smiled.
