I Just Won’t Play by the Book - Chapter 157

Jiang Beiran thought that he would need at least ten days to half a month to find some clues related to the Yellow Gang. He did not expect that he would be able to get it effortlessly from Li Fucheng.

However, a new question came to Jiang Beiran. Should he tell the two big shots that he had already finished the mission?

Although it was only a one-sided statement from Li Fucheng, it was not necessarily accurate. However, Jiang Beiran, a mere level 5 qi refining disciple, could provide them with so many clues and information, which was enough to complete the mission. And the problem Jiang Beiran was struggling with now was that if he solved this matter too quickly, the two big shots would see how useful he was. They would definitely try to persuade or even force Jiang Beiran to run errand for them.

However, if he continued to drag things on, he would have to continue bringing along the two large-scale burdens, Mu Yao and Kong Qianqian. Moreover, it would be best if the Yellow Gang and the Imperial Court that had the intention to cause trouble were destroyed as soon as possible. After all, he still had to live in Fengzhou. If Fengzhou were to become chaotic, he would inevitably be affected.

After some careful consideration, Jiang Beiran finally decided

“First, I’ll perform a divi-ation.”

In the past, Jiang Beiran only believed in his divi-ation based on fate. But now that he had the Ruyi Fortune Bucket, and he had obtained a bit more ( divi-ation ) points recently. He felt that it was the suitable time to figure out what he should do through divi-ation.

After finding a place with no one around to set up the incense table, Jiang Beiran finished the ritual steps and started the divi-ation.

For the first lot, he asked in his heart what would happen if he chose to tell the two big shots about the information he had.

After throwing out the yin-yang side of the cup, Jiang Beiran picked up the yellow stick that had dropped out and read.

“I, Jiang Beiran here to ask for guidance.” In the next second, the yellow stick shattered into golden powder and turned into four lines of the lot in the air.

“Summer is just beginning, and it is still growing, everyone is worried about the heat and idleness. Fortunately, the heaven and earth granted the wishes of the people, so the spirit of condemnation is in their hearts.”

“Don’t worry when you are in need. The best time will come, and everything will be fine… Hmm, this is a good fortune that can be used for anything.” After Jiang Beiran finished reading the fortune-telling, the four lines of fortune-telling turned into sticks again and returned to the Ruyi Fortune Bucket.

Then, Jiang Beiran started to ask for the second divi-ation, which was what would happen if he delayed and did not tell the two big shots about this matter.

The second time he asked for the fortune-telling, the cups fell very smoothly. The first time, the cups successfully fell into yin and yang

“Expected of special point. As expected, I feel that the divi-ation process is much smoother.’

Picking up the yellow fortune-telling stick floating in the air, Jiang Beiran chanted again.

“I, Jiang Beiran here to ask for guidance.”

Just like before, the fortune-telling stick shattered into golden powder again, turning into four lines of fortune-telling in the air.

[ You returned in the wind and rain, but you didn’t have the body of a swallow. You used mud to build a base, but the base broken back into mud. )

“Hmm… a thousand strategies, but in the end, it’s hard to succeed. It’s a bad lot…’

After reading the fortune stick, Jiang Beiran understood that if he didn’t say inform the big shots. It would backfire and lead to a bigger

mess.

One was a good lot, and the other was a bad lot.

Moreover, the content of the lot was more in line with his requirements. Thus, it was naturally clear which choice he should make.

After his train of thought became clear, Jiang Bei suddenly felt that there was an advantage in directly telling the two big shots this news. That was, he could try his best to dissuade the two big shots. In particular, Yin Jianghong always thought that he was concealing his strength.

If he showed that he could do it, he would not drag it out. It was also a way to prepare for things that he could not do in the future.

“Okay… it’s decided then.”

Looking at the Ruyi Fortune Bucket in his hand nodding with satisfaction, Jiang Beiran felt that he had another layer of protection in the days to come.

“Oh! Oh! Oh!”

In the early morning, under the crowing of the rooster, the dazed Kong Qianqian reached out to touch the side and murmured, “Sister Mu… Sister Mu… Hug… Eh? Sister Mu…?”.

“Stop shouting and get up quickly.”

Hearing Mu Yao’s shout, Kong Qianqian, who was scratching on the bed, opened her eyes with difficulty.

Looking at Mu Yao who had finished dressing, Kong Qianqian rubbed her eyes and said, “Sister Mu, why are you up so early today?”

Mu Yao put on the black veil and said, “We have business to do. I don’t think that Jiang Beiran wanted to investigate at all. He wasted an entire day at that wine stall yesterday. Don’t pay attention to him today. We’ll investigate it ourselves.”

“Ah?” Kong Qianqian sat up immediately. “That’s not very good. Sir said that we’re not allowed to act alone.”

Upon hearing Kong Qianqian’s words, the veins on Mu Yao’s forehead suddenly popped up. “Sir, Sir, Sir. You only listen to your Sir. Besides, how many times have I told you not to call him Sir!”

Kong Qianqian, who was scolded by Mu Yao, shrank to a corner and crossed her legs. “But where are we going to investigate?”

“We’ll ask around first. Get up quickly and get ready to work.”

“Oh …” Nodding her head, Kong Qianqian got off the bed and began to wash her face.

While tying her hair with a red rope, Kong Qianqian looked at Mu Yao in the bronze mirror and asked, “Sister Mu, should we go out and tell Sir? Otherwise, he won’t be able to find

us.”

“Just leave a note for him.”

“But I think it’s better not to act on our own. Sir… Aiyaya.”

Kong Qianqian, whose face was grabbed by Mu Yao, grunted and mumbled, “I apologize.”

Mu Yao let go of Kong Qianqian said angrily, “I really regret bringing you out. Do you only have eyes for that Jiang Beiran now? Do you still see me as your senior sister?” “Yes, yes, yes. Of course, my senior sister is the most important one in my eyes.”

“Humph, then hurry up and pack up. We have a lot of places to go today.”

“Yes.”

In less than ten minutes, Kong Qianqian, who had been urged to wash up, walked out with Mu Yao. However, when she opened the room, Mu Yao was stunned.

“You, you… Why are you here?” Mu Yao looked at Jiang Beiran, who was standing in front of her, and asked in surprise. “I’m waiting for you to wake up,” Jiang Beiran replied.

Mu Yao, who felt that she had lost again, took a deep breath. She straightened her body and puffed out her chest. “Today, we’ll investigate ourselves. I’ll be with Qianqian. We’ll meet up at the inn tonight.”

Kong Qianqian was about to say something when Mu Yao glared back at her.

“There’s no need. I’ve already investigated the Yellow Gang. When you wake up, I want you to send a message to your father.”

Although Mu Yao could understand every word in Jiang Beiran’s words, she was a little confused when she connected them together.

After a long time, Mu Yao said, “Don’t… Don’t talk nonsense. You didn’t do anything yesterday!”

“If I didn’t find anything, would I let you inform your father? Do you think that I dare to fool a cult master? Do I look like I have several lives?”

“But… What did you find out?”

“Let’s go in first.”

Jiang Beiran said and walked into Mu Yao’s room but was stopped by Mu Yao.

Jiang Beiran looked at her with confusion and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“You’re a man, how can you just walk into a woman’s room?”

“Oh, then come to my room?” Jiang Beiran pointed in the direction of his room.

“Shameless!” Mu Yao shouted with a red face.

“I didn’t expect you to be so traditional. Then what should I do? This is confidential information. I can’t just stand in the corridor and tell you, can I?”

Mu Yao thought for a while and finally moved aside. “Humph! I let you in for the sake of our mission. Don’t mess around after you go in!”

“I’m only a level 5 qi refining cultivator. What can I do to you? You better don’t mess around with me.”

mess arou

“Who’s going to mess around with you!” Mu Yao was provoked and shouted loudly.

Because she shouted too loudly, all the guests in the corridor looked at her. Mu Yao was so embarrassed that she quickly went back to her room and slammed the door.

“Sir, have some tea.”

As soon as Jiang Beiran entered the room and sat down, Kong Qianqian immediately poured him a cup of green tea from the inn.

“The tea leaves in the inn taste terrible. Take mine and brew it,” Jiang Beiran said as he took out a box of Mengding Sweet Dew from his storage ring and handed it to her.

“Yes.” Kong Qianqian took the tea box and ran to the side to brew it. At this moment, Mu Yao, who was still blushing slightly, walked back to the table and sat down.

Ignoring her angry gaze, Jiang Beiran told her the whole story. However, he hid the source of the news, the third young master of the Church of Blood Inferno and replaced it with “A friend.”

When Mu Yao heard this, she was surprised and immediately asked, “Who is this friend? How do you know if the information he said is true?”

“It’s not convenient for me to expose his name. In short, you should report the information I told you to your father first. We will decide what to do next after we get his reply.”

“But…” Mu Yao was about to say that it was impossible for her to report such inaccurate information to her father she thought of an idea. She felt that it was just right to let father see how bad Jiang Beiran’s was.

“Hehe.”

“Okay, I’ll go and inform my father now.”

The demonic cult had its own contact information. Of course, righteous sects had their own as well. He had already passed this information to Guan Shilan earlier and was already waiting for a reply.

At noon, a white bird flew into Jiang Beiran’s room and threw a small note to him.

This was the Sect of Masked Moon’s messenger bird, the orchid pipit.

As the only long-distance communication method on the continent, every sect would raise their own messenger birds. These birds basically had the characteristics of a petite body and high speed. This orchid pipit was given to Jiang Beiran by Guan Shi’an when he set off. So, it would be much convenient and timesaving for Jiang Beiran to send message to Guan Shi’an. Otherwise, Jiang Beiran would have to first find the branch of the Sect of Masked Moon closest to Luoxia Town before he could send the message over.

Jiang Beiran opened the note that the orchid pipit had sent over. After reading the contents of the note, he was stunned for a moment. This was because Guan Shilan told them to wait in the town. He would come over at night.

After reading the note, Jiang Beiran could not help but sigh at how awesome the mystic master was. Even the mystic beasts had to travel for several days, and Guan Shi’an only needed one day.

However, Guan Shi’an was still relatively easy to talk to, so Jiang Beiran did not have too much of a headache. He was prepared to wait for the arrival of this big shot in the inn.
