I Just Won't Play By The Book

342 The Same Plot, Don’t Come Twice After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Jiang Beiran once again came to Zhong Junliang, put down three business proposals, and knocked on the table.””The changes are not bad. The suggestions are very useful. Next time, you can write bigger words.”

Zhong Junliang quickly knelt down and said,”I dare not!” Writing beside the emperor’s personal inscription is already disrespectful, the emperor not blaming this lowly official is already very grateful!”

“Sigh…” Sighing, Jiang Beiran was just about to reprimand Zhong Junliang when his ears suddenly twitched. He heard an imposing eagle cry.

“Continue with your work.”

After instructing Zhong Junliang, Jiang Beiran came to the outside of the hall. Soon, a bird landed in front of him.

Jiang Beiran took out a letter container from the eagle’s wing and read Yin Jianghong’s letter.

Feng Province has indeed settled down.’

The reason why Jiang Beiran had suddenly returned to the palace to get the revised proposal was that he had thought that once Fengzhou settled down, Yin Jianghong or Tai Yingzong would most likely look for him to discuss the upcoming reform of Fengzhou.

After all, he had been busy before and had not had a detailed chat. Now that he had free hands, he naturally had to plan properly.

‘But that old man Yin Jianghong…Why did you ask me to go to the Masked Moon Sect?

With doubt, let go of the falcon, Jiang Beiran sat on the cloud, flew all the way to the Yanyue Sect.

They arrived at the Sect Master’s Residence with ease. As soon as they entered, they discovered that it was very lively inside. Guan Shi ‘an and the higher-ups of the Masked Moon Sect, as well as Yin Jianghong and a few people who were obviously big shots of the underworld, were sitting opposite each other and discussing something intensely.

“Sect Master, the Emperor has arrived.”

The disciple who had brought Jiang Beiran in said to Guan Shi ‘an.

All of a sudden, the discussion in the hall stopped and everyone turned to look at Jiang Beiran, who was standing at the door.

“Aiya, Bei Ran is here. Quick, quick, come in.”Guan Shian waved at Jiang Beiran. “Hiss…”

Looking at Guan Shi ‘an’s smile, Jiang Beiran could not help but have a bad premonition. He had a feeling that there was a trap waiting for him to jump into.

However, he could not turn around and leave. He could only take a step forward and cupped his hands.”Sect Master Guan, Sect Master Ying, greetings.”

“You don’t have to be so polite. We’re all on the same side.”Guan Shi ‘an pulled Jiang Beiran over and pointed at the map of Fengzhou on the table.””Bei Ran, come and take a look.”

Jiang Beiran looked at the map with a mark on the left and a flag on the right. After a while, Guan Shian said,””I called you here this time because I think you’re the fairest person, so I want you to help me.”

Just as Jiang Beiran was about to open his eyes wide, Yin Jianghong came over and patted him on the shoulder.””I can tell from your happy expression that you already understand what is going on. It’s actually very simple. Most of the rebels in Feng Province have been exterminated, and the remaining ones aren’t of much use. It can be said that Feng Province has regained its stability.”

As soon as Yin Jianghong finished speaking, three notifications popped up before Jiang Beiran’s eyes.

[Option 1: Follow Yin Jianghong’s words. [Completion Reward: Great Void Imperial Curse (Earth Grade Mid-Rank)]

[Option 2: Flee the scene quickly. [Completion Reward: Illusion Sea Sword Formation Diagram (Black Grade High-Rank)]

[Choice 3:” If Cult Master Yin insists on asking this, then I can only perform a self-severing meridian for everyone to see.”.[Completion Reward: Random Basic Attribute Point +1]

Without even thinking, Jiang Beiran chose three.

What a joke! He could participate in this level of cake distribution!?After all, there had never been a happy ending in the matter of splitting the cake. The majority would always be dissatisfied.

If the news of him participating in the distribution was leaked out, the two old men from the Mystic Sect could not afford to offend them. They would have to vent their anger on him!?

Taking a step back, Jiang Beiran pinched his heart pulse with his index finger and said,””If Cult Master Yin insists on asking this, then I can only perform a self-severing meridian for everyone to see.”

[Mission completed. Reward: Spirit +1]

“Hey, don’t, don’t, don’t.” Yin Jianghong and Guan Shi ‘an quickly pulled Jiang Beiran back.

“Aiya, Bei Ran, look at you. I just asked you to give me some suggestions. In the end, I decided not to let you come.”

“Then I’d better cut my own meridians.” As Jiang Beiran spoke, he started to massage his heart again.

“Hey, hey, hey.” Yin Jianghong grabbed Jiang Beiran’s hand and said,””It’s not that bad. It’s really not that bad.”

Jiang Beiran shook his head.” We’re going to die anyway. It’s better this way.””

Seeing Jiang Beiran’s firm attitude, Yin Jianghong had no choice but to compromise.””Okay, okay, okay. I won’t ask for your advice.”

“Thank you, Cult Master Yin.” Jiang Beiran cupped his hands decisively.

“You…” Cult Master Yin shook his head.” Then you can go back first. There’s nothing else for you to do.””

“Yes, everyone has worked hard. Goodbye!”

Jiang Beiran left without looking back.

“Eh? You’re letting him go just like that?” Guan Shi ‘an said.

“What else? Are you going to press his head down and give us ideas?”Yin Jianghong turned around and said.

” Sigh, this kid doesn’t want the benefits we gave him. He’s really stupid. Can’t he give his sect more territory?””

Seeing Guan Shi ‘an’s resentful look, everyone present, including Tai Yingzong and the other Masked Moon Sect higher-ups, couldn’t help but twitch their lips.

‘Looks like he (this old man)(Sect Master) really thinks that this is giving him benefits…’

Jiang Beiran, who had escaped with his life, let out a sigh of relief. He could not help but turn around and spit.

‘Damn… Why are you looking for me? Do you think those sect masters and sect masters will let me off just because I’m young or have no cultivation? Bah! A group of old men are all very bad.

Realizing that he shouldn’t stay in this place for long, Jiang Beiran immediately blew out a cloud.

“He’s gone, he’s gone.”

However, not long after Jiang Beiran returned to the palace, he received another letter from Lu Yinlong, asking him to hurry back.

“What a waste of my life…”

Jiang Beiran could easily guess that Lu Yinlong’s visit must have something to do with the division of territory.

There was no way he could play dead. Jiang Beiran sighed and could only fly back to the Returning Heart Sect.

Jiang Beiran soon saw Lu Yinlong at the Sect Master’s Residence, probably after the high-level meeting.

“Greetings, Sect Master.” Jiang Beiran bowed.

“Bei Ran, I believe you should already understand the reason why I’ve called you here.”Lu Yinlong asked with a smile.

At the same time, three options appeared before Jiang Beiran.

[Option 1: Play dumb. [Completion Reward: Tiger Phoenix Dark Scripture (Earth Grade Low-Rank)]

[Option 2: Flee the scene quickly. [Completion Reward: Holy Fire Tyranny (Mysterious Rank Mid-Rank)]

[Option 3: Tell Lu Yinlong what happened at the Masked Moon Sect. [Completion Reward: Random Basic Skill Point +1]

“Good heavens, the plot is repeating itself?”

After choosing the third option, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands and said,””This disciple has just returned from the Masked Moon Sect. Sect Master Guan and Sect Master Yin both have the intention of letting me redistribute Feng Province with them.”

[Mission completed. Reward: Drawing +1]

“You agree?” Lu Yinlong raised his eyebrows.”

“Sect Master must be joking. I’m still young.”Jiang BeiBeiran cupped his fists.

“Hahahaha!” Lu Yinlong laughed out loud after hearing that.” You little rascal, are you going to use this to shut me up?”

“Disciple doesn’t dare, I’m just reporting truthfully.”

“Alright, alright, I understand what you mean. I won’t let you fight for more benefits for the Returning Heart Sect.”

“Thank you, Sect Master!”

Lu Yinlong naturally understood that if he still allowed Jiang Beiran to fight for more benefits for the Returning Heart Sect, it would be no different from pushing him into a pit of fire. That Demon Yin would definitely take advantage of the situation and offer conditions. At that time, Jiang Beiran would not be able to refuse.

“But your weight in Sect Master Guan and Demon Yin’s hearts is really getting heavier and heavier.”

“If the two of them really cared about this disciple, they wouldn’t have called this disciple over.”

“Hahaha!” Lu Yinlong laughed again.” It’s all because you’re too cautious. Can your conversation with them be spread?”

‘Of course it’s possible…’
