I Just Won't Play By The Book-Novel

Chapter 207 So It Was You 2

Looking at Meng Sipei who was suddenly stunned, Ye Fan carefully asked, “Vice Sect Master Meng?”

“Oh!” Meng Sipei, who had come back to her senses, blushed slightly and continued, “In any case, I hope you can take it. Even if you don’t use it, you can see it as a little gift.”

“But I didn’t do anything. I really don’t…”

Ye Fan was just halfway through his sentence when Meng Sipei suddenly stuffed the jade token into Ye Fan’s arms. Then, she left with the speed of a mystic emperor.

“Eh!? Vice Sect Master Meng, Vice Sect Master Meng?”

After shouting twice, Ye Fan sighed and reached out to take out the jade token in his arms.

“Does this count as causing trouble for Immortal…”

After struggling for a long time, Ye Fan decided to accept the jade token first. In any case, he would not use it until the next time he met Immortal.

In Jiyuan Town, Luo Wenzhou was grinding medicinal powder in a pavilion. Beside him was the Hong family’s servant girl, Qin Cuirong, who was helping to wrap the medicinal powder in mulberry paper.

After wrapping another bag of medicinal powder, Qin Cuirong shyly glanced at Luo Wenzhou. She noticed that sweat was oozing out from his head, so she took out an embroidered handkerchief and carefully wiped it for him.

Feeling Qin Cuirong gently wiping it, Luo Wenzhou asked, “Cuirong, do you know what has been beating on your chest?”

Qin Cuirong didn’t understand why Lin Lang suddenly asked this, but she still answered, “It’s… Heart?”

“Well, then do you know how many hearts a person has?”

“I heard from Doctor Zhang that a person only has one heart.”

“Well, most people are like that, but I only have half a heart.”

“Ah?” Qin Cuirong covered her mouth and exclaimed, “Why is that?”

“Because when I met you, the other half of my heart was on you.”

“Aiya, you’re annoying!” Qin Cuirong lightly hammered Luo Wenzhou and shouted.

Just when Qin Cuirong was filled with happiness, a voice shouted from afar.

“Hey! I knew you were here again! You keep running out, aren’t you afraid that Butler Zhang will deduct your pay!?”

Hearing her miss’s voice, Qin Cuirong hurriedly ran out of the pavilion and bowed. “Miss, I know I’m wrong. Please show mercy, Miss.”

Luo Wenzhou was already used to this scene, so he continued to grind his medicine.

“You!” Hong Yaxuan walked over and poked Qin Cuirong’s forehead with her index finger, then she looked at Luo Wenzhou in the pavilion and said, “Do you know that that guy is still lovey-dovey with Qiuqi of the Ye family and Dongkui of the Shao Family?”

“I… I know.” Qin Cuirong answered with her head lowered.

“You! You silly girl, you ‘re getting on my nerve! So many men gave their all out just to hook up with our Hong family’s girls, yet you throw yourself into a man!”

“But Mr. Lin is also different from those people. Master even praises his medicine.”

“Oh my god! Look at how you’re protecting your lover! I think you don’t take me seriously anymore.”

“How can that be! Miss is very important to me too.”

“I can’t be bothered to talk about you.” She poked Qin Cuirong’s forehead again and Hong Yaxuan walked into the pavilion.

“Miss Hong, is there something you need me for?” Luo Wenzhou looked up at Hong Yaxuan and asked.

“Yes… I did.” After saying that, Hong Yaxuan rolled her eyes and looked around. “Your big brother… isn’t here again?”

“Yes, just tell me if there’s anything.” Luo Wenzhou nodded and spoke.

“But… This matter is a little serious. I want to see your big brother personally.”

“Miss Hong, are you not happy with me?”

“Not really…” After saying that, Hong Yaxuan stomped her feet fiercely. “Aiya! I just want to see your big brother!”

She felt that this sentence was a little ambiguous, so she quickly changed her words. “No, I have to discuss this matter with your big brother!”

Seeing that Hong Yaxuan was indeed very insistent this time, Luo Wenzhou said, “In that case, I’ll pass on the message for you later.”

“Okay! Then it’s a deal! I’ll come here tomorrow and wait for your reply.”

“Okay.” Luo Wenzhou nodded.

After walking out of the pavilion, Hong Yaxuan looked at Qin Cuirong and said, “Hurry up and leave! Butler Zhang is looking for you everywhere.”

“Ah!?” Qin Cuirong exclaimed after hearing that, but she immediately showed a very reluctant expression.

“It’s not like we won’t see him tomorrow. Let’s go, let’s go!” Hong Yaxuan pulled Qin Cuirong and spoke.

Being dragged away, Qin Cuirong could only wave at Luo Wenzhou who was in the pavilion and promised to meet him tomorrow.

After the two of them had gone, Luo Wenzhou packed up his mortar and medicine and walked out of town.

Because the small slope had been destroyed by Jiang Beiran’s punch, they had now moved to a small river.

They came to the side of the tent with ease. Luo Wenzhou looked at Jiang Beiran, who was fishing, bowed and called out, “Master.”

“What’s the matter?” Jiang Beiran asked with his back to Luo Wenzhou.

“Yes, Hong Yaxuan of the Hong family said that she has something important to ask you, and she will only tell you when she sees you.”

Jiang Beiran was about to speak when two options popped up.

( Option 1: Ask Luo Wenzhou reject Hong Yaxuan. Reward: Gu Feng True Scroll (low-tier earth-grade)]

[ Option 2: Agree to this. Reward: Random basic attribute points + 1]

“Eh? So it’s all because of her?”

Looking at the low tier earth grade reward, Jiang Beiran immediately understood that the system wanted him to continue staying in Jiyuan Town not to protect Ye Fan, but something to do with Hong Yaxuan.

“Sigh. Fortunately, I left Jiyuan Town in time. Otherwise, who knows what trouble I’ll end up with.”

This was because the system had previously given him the option of becoming Ye Fan’s master at the heaven grade. If he had not left in time, it was very likely that he would have walked further on the wrong path and triggered an option that was at least at the black grade.

Relieved, Jiang Beiran chose option 2 and replied, “Got it. I’ll go with you to see her tomorrow.”

[ Chosen quest completed. Reward: mind + 1]

Hearing that his master had actually agreed to this matter, Luo Wenzhou was a little surprised, but he still immediately cupped his hands and said, “Yes.”

The next day at around 10am, Hong Yaxuan left the Hong Residence with a slightly perturbed mood. When she turned her head and saw Qin Cuirong with a blissful smile on her face, she could not help but feel angry.

“You shameless girl! Look at how happy you

are!”

“Hehehe” Qin Cuirong wasn’t embarrassed at all and just laughed foolishly.

Sighing, Hong Yaxuan brought Qin Cuirong to the pavilion.

“Eh… Who’s the person playing Go with Mr. Lin?”

When they arrived at the pavilion, Qin Cuirong discovered that there was an elegant man sitting opposite her Mr. Lin. This was the first time Mr. Lin brought someone else to this pavilion, and she was also certain that she had never seen that person in this Jiyuan Town.

“Miss…”

Just as Qin Cuirong turned her head and was about to ask miss if she knew that man, she found that Miss’s expression looked a little strange, as if she was both looking forward to it and afraid. “Miss? What happened to you?” Qin Cuirong asked worriedly.

“Oh… nothing.” Hong Yaxuan waved her hand, then took a deep breath and walked into the pavilion.

Without waiting for Hong Yaxuan to speak, Jiang Beiran, who had just settled down, said first, “You have a lot of guts. You actually dared to take the initiative to look for me.”

“I… I didn’t do anything wrong. Why… Why couldn’t I meet you?”

Hong Yaxuan’s voice was a little shaky. The scene of Jiang Beiran killing the superior mystic practitioner effortlessly was still deeply engraved in her memory. His threatening words also made her shudder when she recalled it.

However, she understood that the person in front of her was a good person. Otherwise, he would not be mad at those poor girls and even let her settle them down.

He was also her savior.

Therefore, although she was still a little afraid of Jiang Beiran, she had to admit that she really wanted to see him again. She even dreamed of him several times.

That was because she had yet to properly thank this savior of hers.

This was the reason why Hong Yaxuan acted so strangely when she saw Jiang Beiran. On one hand, she had the self-restraint of being the eldest daughter of the Hong family. After more than ten years of pampered life as the eldest daughter of the Hong family, she subconsciously would not lower her head easily.

On the other hand, she had feelings of fear and anticipation towards Jiang Beiran. She did not know what expression she should use to face him.
