I Just Won’t Play by the Book - Chapter 65

“Oh, it’s coming, it’s coming.”

When Wu Qingce released his mystic energy and started to run, Jiang Beiran’s mind sensed that the level 4 great mystic practitioner that he saw at the teahouse in the afternoon had quietly caught up to them.

“He’s not releasing his mystic energy and quietly following behind us? He’s sneaky.”

After listening to the system notification, Jiang Beiran also released his mystic energy to follow Wu Qingce to the birch forest.

On the other side, Ma Bojun, who was on sentry duty at the southeast corner of the birch forest, suddenly heard a voice.

“Que Ma, there are two cultivators coming to the birch forest.”

Ma Bojun, who had been resting, suddenly opened his eyes and asked via voice transmission, “What’s their strength?”

“One is a level nine mystic practitioner, and the other… is only at level five of Qi refining.” “Okay, I’ll ask boss how to deal with it.” After saying that, Ma Bojun sent a voice transmission to the northwest direction of the forest, “Boss, the vet said that a level 9 mystic practitioner is coming to the birch forest. How do we deal with it?”

In the forest, Qin Zian was observing the Thunder Patterned Leopard and the Demon Beast. After hearing Ma Bojun’s report, he replied, “These two mystic beasts are probably going to start a fight soon. Don’t cause any unnecessary trouble. Just kill them directly.”

“Yes.” After answering, Ma Bojun sent a voice transmission to the vet, Mao Quan, “Boss said to kill them directly.”

“Ha! I like this reply. Leave it to me.”

A moment later, Ma Bojun once again used the voice transmission to look for Mao Quan. Ma Bojun was going to ask Mao Quan to kill them directly. He didn’t want Mao Quan to slowly torture his target to death. They still had important matters to attend to.

“Eh? Why is his aura gone? What’s going on?”

Sensing that something was wrong, Ma Bojun immediately sent a voice transmission to Qin Zian, “Boss, it seems like…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Ma Bojun saw a fist the size of a casserole smashing towards him.

“Ah!”

After a miserable howl, Ma Bojun fell down from the tree.

“Que Ma!” Hearing Ma Bojun’s miserable howl, Qin Zian felt a chill sweep through his entire body.

When Ma Bojun sent a voice transmission to him, his voice was normal and did not sound like he was in a fight. In other words, it was very likely that Ma Bojun was killed without even noticing the other party.

“The intruder is very stealthy, very fast, and very strong!”

After confirming these three points, Qin Zian quickly shouted to his other three companions in the forest, “All of you, gather here. We have enemies.”

This time, he did not use voice transmission technique to transmit his voice. Instead, he directly roared. Although he had exposed his position, it was also to attract the attention of the two mystic beasts under the tree, hoping to create an even more chaotic opportunity.

Hearing their boss’s roar, the disciples of the Palace of Killing, who were scattered in every corner of the birch forest, immediately rushed in Qin Zian’s direction.

The first to arrive at the meeting point was Bao Huo, but the scene in front of him made his heart go cold from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

In front of him, Qin Zian had already fallen to the ground without any signs of life. The two mystic beasts were also hiding at the side, shivering as if they had just seen something very scary.

“Don’t go over…” Bao Huo was just about to turn around and warn his seniors. However, his vision suddenly turned dark, and he lost all consciousness.

Xu Panqing, who had just arrived, happened to see the scene of her second senior brother being killed. She hurriedly took off her mask and revealed a beautiful face as she shouted, “We have no ill intentions. We are just on the road… er… you…”

Xu Panqing had just finished speaking when she saw a flash of white light. When she covered her neck again, she could only feel the fresh blood that was gushing out.

“Junior sister! Ah! i’ll kill you!”

Looking at the brawny man who was charging at him while shouting at the top of his lungs, Jiang Beiran sighed softly in his heart.

“You’re making me look like a big villain…”

However, even though he thought about it, Jiang Beiran’s actions were not slow at all. His index finger poked the brawny man’s forehead, and the latter collapsed to the ground. [ Chosen quest completed. Reward: Strength + 1]

“Hu…”

Following the system notification, Jiang Beiran let out a breath and said to Wu Qingce, who was carrying a corpse behind him, “Dispose of the corpses and find out where they came from.”

“Yes!”

Wu Qingce didn’t show any signs of surprise when the six great mystic practitioners were all killed by his senior brother in an instant. He obediently ran over to check them one by one.

“Hey! Hey! Hey! Who told you to run away? Sit there.”

Seeing that Thunder Patterned Leopard and Demon Beast were about to sneak away, Jiang Beiran casually picked up a stone and threw it at them.

Thunder Patterned Leopard and Demon Beast immediately stopped when they felt the power of the stone. They turned around and looked at Jiang Beiran with a fawning expression. There was a total of nine tails waving desperately.

Not long after, Wu Qingce, who had gathered all the corpses in one place, ran over and reported to Jiang Beiran, “Senior brother, they are all disciples of the Palace of Killing. In addition, I took out a killing token from the storage ring of the man in black. He should be a powerful disciple. But isn’t the Palace of Killing a faction on the Anjiang Island? Why are they here?”

“Hmm, what else do you see?” Jiang Beiran nodded and asked.

“Also…” Wu Qingce rolled his eyes a few times before he answered, “Oh! Brother Jiang, your control of your strength has become more accurate. That strong… er…”

Wu Qingce lowered his head and stopped talking when Jiang Beiran stared at him angrily. “Sigh…” Jiang Beiran could only shake his head after letting out a long sigh.

“Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. I am the one who take him in.”

After comforting himself, Jiang Beiran dragged Wu Qingce to the six corpses and said, “Come, I’ll give you three chances. Tell me the solution that is most suitable for the current situation that I’ve taught you.”

Wu Qingce started to think crazily after he heard that. A moment later, he raised a finger and said, “Remember to destroy the corpses of people you don’t know after killing them in the wild! Ah!”

As soon as Wu Qingce finished speaking, he screamed and covered his poor forehead.

“I’ll give you a hint. You have to do things step by step. You still have two more chances.”

Rubbing his swollen forehead, Wu Qingce thought hard and shouted, “I know!”

“Speak.”

“There will be many answers I want to know on the corpses!”

“Well, at least you’re not stupid. So, what did you see?”

“I…” Wu Qingce stared at the six corpses for a long time and then said, “That strong man should be a combat master. From the distribution of his muscles, he should be good at leg skills. Also… er…”

Looking at the gradually narrowed eyes of Jiang Beiran, Wu Qingce knew that he was wrong again.

“Why do you always forget everything I taught you to me?” Jiang Beiran asked in confusion.

“Because Brother Jiang is much smarter than me. I really can’t learn it.”

“Flattery is useless.”

“Yes!”

“Ah!”

Just as Wu Qingce finished answering, he felt another knock on his forehead.

“Why!?” Wu Qingce looked aggrieved.

“Because I read from your expression. You’re saying ‘flattery is not useless. Didn’t you not knock on my forehead this time’, right?”

“Brother Jiang… do you know how to read minds!?”
