I Just Won't Play By The Book

“Whoa! This woman can destroy an entire sect!”

Without much time to think, Jiang Beiran decisively chose option 3 and stepped aside.

Ye Xincai had never thought that Jiang Beiran would dodge, and they were not allowed to use any moves on Qiyun Peak. So, she fell to the ground without any room for maneuver.

“As expected of Brother Jiang!”

Liu Zijin and the others, who had been looking at Jiang Beiran from the corner of their eyes, were secretly delighted.

“Junior Sister Ye!” x 7

Amidst the loud shout, a group of burly men rushed toward Ye Xincai, who had fallen to the ground.

As for Jiang Beiran, he had long escaped.

Changing to another mountain path, Jiang Beiran could not help but analyze the few options he had earlier.

Actually, he wanted to catch Ye Xincai. Since she had a collection fetish, he could just cooperate with her and put on an act. This could save him from more trouble in the future.

However, who knew that the system would actually give him an earth grade reward? He was merely a small fish in her fishpond. The other male disciples would not attack him, right?

“Strange… in any case, it’s better to stay away from the Order of Water Mirror. This group of women is really too dangerous.”

After Ye Xincai was helped up by her senior brothers, she first smiled and expressed her gratitude to everyone. However, her eyes were looking at the place where Jiang Beiran was standing just now. “Interesting… as expected, he’s not a normal tier item.”

In order to prevent Ye Xincai from coming back, Jiang Beiran slightly quickened his pace and rushed to the front while nobody was paying attention to him.

“Tsk, looks like the front isn’t too peaceful either…”

Jiang Beiran had just climbed up for a while when his mind power sensed that more than ten Order Masters were gathered in front. However, when they were at the foot of the mountain, the position of the 24 orders was clearly in a circular shape. As for why they were gathered here, Jiang Beiran could think of the reason with his feet.

“Law Protector Yu, today I’ve developed a set of Shadow Steps that complement the Sishui Sword Style. Do you think we should find some time to spar and study it together?”

“Come on, Old Yu, you still want to study footwork with that lousy technique of yours? Stop teasing me.”

“Heh, after we descend the mountain, I’ll let you understand what a strong footwork is.”

“What’s the point of fighting amongst yourselves? Didn’t we agree to bust that old brat Zhang Heqing first?”

“That’s right, Law Protector Yu. What’s the point of cooperating with the Order of Blue Heart? My disciple, Wu Qingce, has already broken through to become a great mystic practitioner. So, I would like to find other orders to collaborate. I think the Order of Water Mirror is very good, what do you think?”

Hearing these words, Yu Manwen, who had been smiling silently all this while, said, “This time, the Order of Chaos Star has indeed produced a good seedling. I did not expect Wu Qingce to be able to break through so quickly after he participated in the martial arts tournament the last time. He seemed to have comprehended quite a lot from the tournament.”

Hearing Yu Manwen’s praise, the Order Master of Sect of Chaos Star, Yang Yulin, was delighted. “This kid has great talent, but our training has also played a great role. If you are interested in cooperation, how about we have a chat after we go down the mountain?”

Yu Manwen nodded. “I’m looking forward to

it.”

Yu Manwen had always been dedicated to the training of her order’s disciples. Some time ago, the Incense Master had specially gathered them for a meeting. At the meeting, he had especially praised Sect of Chaos Star for nurturing a disciple who had already broken through to become a great mystic practitioner at the age of 19. He had even promised rich resources to Order of Chaos Star, which made the other Order Masters extremely envious. After returning, Yu Manwen told Shi Fenglan about this matter. Naturally, Shi Fenglan was still as heartless as before. She said, “He’s just a mere great mystic practitioner. I’ve seen many geniuses like him. It’s only amazing if he can become a mystic king alive.”

This reaction was also within Yu Manwen’s expectations. However, Jiang Beiran added, “What Order Master Shi said is right. Since he’s already proud of becoming a great mystic practitioner early on, he definitely won’t be able to go far.”

In Yu Manwen’s impression, Jiang Beiran was the kind of person who did not care about other people’s business. He was usually indifferent when she chatted with Shi Fenglan’s disciples.

However, when she mentioned Wu Qingce, Jiang Beiran suddenly expressed his opinion. Moreover, his tone gave her a strange feeling that she could not describe. It was as if he was very familiar with Wu Qingce.

When she asked Jiang Beiran about it later, Jiang Beiran said that she was thinking too much. However, she believed that her guess was right.

Previously, she wanted to get to know Wu Qingce. However, she was afraid that she would make Jiang Beiran unhappy again. Therefore, she decided to take this opportunity to have a good chat with Order Master Yang if he really had any special teaching methods. Then, she would write it down. When the time came, the disciples of Order of Water Mirror would also gain benefit from it. However, if Order Master Yang could not come up with any special teaching methods, she would be even more certain of her guess.

“I just want to satisfy my curiosity. He won’t be angry, right?”

Seeing that Yu Manwen had really accepted Yang Yulin’s invitation, Zhang Heqing instantly became anxious. He hurriedly looked in the direction where Jiang Beiran was just now, only to discover that he had already slipped away.

“This brat… he slips away so quickly.” Zhang Heqing scolded Jiang Beiran in his heart. Since he could not count on Jiang Beiran, he could only ridicule Yang Yulin, “Heh, if you really had any special teaching method, you would have already spread it everywhere. Why did you wait until now? Stop bragging. Your disciple has a high talent, it’s not because of your teaching.”

“You keep being bitter. How can I say my secret teaching method around? Just wait and see. When the Order of Water Mirror and we finally nurture a disciple who can break through to become a great mystic practitioner at the age of 19, you will know if my words are true or false.” Zhang Heqing could not refute these words. After all, Yang Yulin had really groomed a powerful seedling that had not appeared in the Sect of Returning Hearts for decades. No matter how much he said, it was still sour. Therefore, he could only look at Yu Manwen and say, “Law Protector Yu, don’t tell me you really believe that Order of Chaos Star has special teaching method?”

Yu Manwen smiled and replied, “It’s worth a try.”

“It’s over…” Zhang Heqing thought.

After spending the past two months with Yu Manwen, Zhang Heqing knew that the nurturing of disciples was the most important matter to Yu Manwen. She was also very attentive to the cooperation between the two orders. Even he was influenced by her enthusiasm. Initially, he only wanted to build a closer relationship with Yu Manwen, but now he was actually studying the two orders’ cultivation methods to learn from each other.

So, Zhang Heqing knew that Yu Manwen would be extremely interested in Yang Yulin’s special teaching method.

“No… I have to get Beiran to work harder when he comes back. However, this brat will definitely not move unless he sees the benefits… Hmm, the Thunder Lord Charcoal that I didn’t use last time can come in handy this time. I’ll go and get him another cauldron. In any case, the Order of Water Mirror can only cooperate with our Order of Blue Heart!’

On the other side, Jiang Beiran had already taken a detour to a secluded path further away. At the same time, the sound of a system notification rang in his ears.

“Order Master has really lost his mind towards Law Protector Yu… he actually planned to call me over in front of so many big shots. Love really makes people lose their mind.”
