I Just Won’t Play by the Book - Chapter 139

The next morning, the Sect of Masked Moon held a decent “closing ceremony”. Just as planned, Jiang Beiran went on stage to accept the prize.

However, under Guan Shi’an’s reasoning, he became the person who gave Jiang Beiran that protective magical item instead of Yin Jianghong. After all, this was more logical. Then, Guan Shi’an made a “clarification” on the stage. He told everybody that he was worried that his disciple would be ambushed after winning the Go competition. He temporarily given Jiang Beiran a magical item to protect his body. As the leader of the righteous sect, he had the foresight.

In this way, a problem that had been lingering in everyone’s minds for several days was finally resolved. After all, it was simply impossible that a qi refining realm disciple could survive from a full-strength palm strike from a superior mystic practitioner.

After the closing ceremony ended, the various sects and cults began their return journey. After all, they had already stayed in the Sect of Masked Moon for quite a long time this time.

In the afternoon, after Wu Qingce picked out the reward from the treasury, he immediately found his senior brother and handed him the list and a storage ring.

After taking the list and taking a look, Jiang Beiran discovered that most of the materials he needed had actually been met.

“As expected of the Sect of Masked Moon. They have really rich resource.”

Moreover, the most important thing was that he had also obtained the Molten Charcoal on the list. The temperature this Molten Charcoal could produce was higher than that of Thunder Lord Charcoal. Moreover, it had the wondrous effect of reducing the toxicity of medicinal pills, it could be said that it was also a kind of rare and good charcoal.

As such, the cauldron, charcoal fire, and supplementary medicines needed to refine the soul baby fruit were all obtained during this trip to the Sect of Masked Moon. It could also be considered to have made up for some of Jiang Beiran’s injured heart.

Jiang Beiran kept the storage ring in his bosom, Jiang Beiran looked at Wu Qingce and replied, “This time, I should be going back a little later. When you go to the back of the mountain, remember to inform Qinghuan. At the same time, guide him in his cultivation. He has learned a new cultivation method. If there are no mistakes, he should have already mastered it by now.”

“Yes.”

“Also, you should cultivate well. Your body has been strengthened by the Thunder Flame Body Tempering Pill. If you haven’t reached level three by the time I go back, you will be beaten up.”

“Level three? Brother Jiang how long will it take for you to come back…” “Huh?” Jiang Beiran glared at Wu Qingce and snorted.

“Yes! I promise to fulfill your orders.”

“Okay, let’s go back.”

By the time it was five o’clock, the members of the various sects and demonic cults had basically left. The disciples of the Sect of Returning Hearts had also gathered at the entrance of the sect.

Surrounded by a group of senior brothers, Ye Xincai interacted with them while looking for Jiang Beiran’s figure. “Eh… Where did Brother Jiang go?”

Ever since Jiang Beiran’s popularity soared, Ye Xincai had never found a chance to look for him alone. However, Wu Qingce had been in the limelight for the past two days, she felt that Brother Jiang, who had suddenly been ignored by everyone, would definitely be very disappointed. If she were to show him her concern at this time.

“Wouldn’t that be a piece of cake?”

However, she hadn’t been able to find Brother Jiang for the entire day. Even when everyone had gathered, he was still not around. “Strange… Where did Brother Jiang go?’ On the other side, Liu Zijin and the others were also looking for Jiang Beiran’s figure. However, after looking around for a while, they didn’t see Jiang Beiran’s figure at all. After looking at each other for a while, Fang Qiuyao said first, “After we go back, I want to take Enforcer Fang as my teacher. She had practiced the Myriad Dance to the extreme. She’s amazing.”

The three Yu Sisters responded immediately.

“Yes, yes, yes, I’ve seen Enforce Fang perform Myriad Dance, and it’s really superb. It was completely different from the others.”

“But there are so many disciples in the hall who want to find Enforcer Fang to be their master. Can we have any opportunity?”

“Just go back and try!” In the four people discussion, Liu Zijin thought and said, “In fact, I know someone who is better than Enforcer Fang.”

“Who is it?” the four exquisite faces looked at Liu Zijin at the same time.

“Law Protector Yu. As far as I know, other than the Order Master Shi, Law Protector Yu is the most powerful person in the Order of Water Mirror.”

“But… I’ve never heard of Law Protector Yu taking in disciples.” Fang Qiuyao said after recalling for a moment. The five of them were all recommended to Jiang Beiran by Yu Manwen at that time, so they were all very familiar with her. “Then we will earnestly beg her to be our master. After all, if we want to become the number one disciples of the Sect of Returning Hearts, Brother Wu will be our biggest challenge. Without a powerful master, it will be very difficult for us to do so.”

The three sisters nodded at the same time.

“Yes! What Sister Zijin said makes sense.”

“Then we will go back and look for Law Protector Yu.”

“Law Protector Yu is a good person. I believe that if we show our sincerity, we will definitely be able to move her.”

Fang Qiuyao looked at the Sword of White Rainbow in her hand, then clenched it tightly and said, “Yes, Sister Zijin is right. We want to defeat the number one disciple of Fengzhou. If we don’t do our best, it will be impossible.”

After the discussion, the five of them could not help but look at Wu Qingce, who was standing at the front of the crowd.

At this moment, Wu Qingce suddenly felt several burning gazes looking at him. He turned his head to look at Liu Zijin and the others.

“Hiss… I feel that the way they look at me is not quite the same as the other female disciples…”

Ever since he won the martial arts competition, or rather, ever since he came to the Sect of Masked Moon, Wu Qingce could often feel the burning gazes of the other female disciples. It was like they wanted to swallow him alive.

And these five gazes also wanted to swallow him alive, but in a different way.

“Have I ever provoked them?” Wu Qingce thought in his heart with some puzzlement.

On the other side, in a pergola in the southwest corner of the Sect of Masked Moon, Lu Yinlong sized up Jiang Beiran and said, “I’ve already heard about this matter from Sect Master Guan, but are you sure you want to travel with that demonic cult’s demoness?”

“Well, it’s not up to me to decide.” Sighing in his heart, Jiang Beiran cupped his fists and replied, “I will be extra careful.” “Mm, you do need to be careful, but with the Immortal Feather Robe that Order Master Shi gave you, that girl won’t be able to do anything to you.” After saying this, Lu Yinlong took out three purple talismans from his storage ring and handed them to Jiang Beiran. “There’s an Ancient Star Spell inside that can protect you, and two Gust Spells will help you escape. If that demoness harbors any ill intentions, come back right away. We will protect you no matter what.”

Purple talisman seal!

Jiang Beiran was stunned when he saw the three purple talisman seals. In the talisman seal system, the color represented the strength of the talisman seal. There were five types: yellow, blue, purple, silver, and gold. Each type represented three tiers.

For example, the yellow talisman seal represented tier 1 to tier 3, and the blue talisman seal represented tier 4 to tier 6.

In other words, the lowest tier of purple talisman seal was tier 7. Based on the pricing from the previous auction, the lowest tier of these three talisman seals was equivalent to three high tier spirit stones. They could definitely be considered a huge sum of money.

Seeing that Jiang Beiran was stunned, Lu Yinlong urged, “Keep it well.”

Jiang Beiran was touched. He cupped his hands and said, “Yes, thank you, Sect Master!”

“Okay, you be careful from now on. I’ll wait for your return.” After saying that, Lu Yinlong turned around and left. Looking at the three purple talisman seals in his hands again, Jiang Beiran felt warm in his heart.
