I Just Won't Play By The Book

401 Senior Brother Returns (2) After folding the note, Jiang Beiran patted Mo Xia’s shoulder and said,””Let’s talk about playing chess tomorrow. Don’t forget to close the door when you go out.”

With that, he turned around and left the house.

“Senior Brother…I…” Before Mo Xia could finish his sentence, he saw his senior brother disappear from his mind.

“Just one plate, just one plate is enough, sigh…” Sighing, Mo Xia carried the Ying Long Chessboard and walked out of the small house. After closing the door, he crouched down again, thinking that if his senior brother came back immediately, he might be able to play a game.

He went straight to the Flying Feathers Hall. As soon as Jiang Beiran entered the disciples ‘dormitory, he saw his senior brother walking toward him.

“Eh? Bei Ran, you’re back.” Lu Bogui greeted him with a smile.

“Greetings, Senior Brother.” Jiang Beiran immediately stepped forward and bowed.” Senior Brother, are you going out?””

“Yes, I heard that the hall master and the others have returned. I was just about to pay my respects when I heard that something big had happened.”

“Senior Brother, please rest assured that Hall Master Zhou is safe and sound.”

“Oh? You know about it?” Lu Bogui patted his forehead and said,””Look at my memory. I heard that you are now the new Emperor of the Sheng Kingdom, right? Congratulations, Senior Brother has long known that you will definitely spread your wings and soar one day.”

“Senior Brother, you praise me too much. I’m just a duck being pushed onto the shelves.””

“You’re still so humble. Alright, since Hall Master is fine, then I’m not in a hurry to go over. Follow me back to my room. I can listen to what you’ve experienced in this short period of time.”

“Alright.” Jiang Beiran nodded happily.

When they arrived at Lu Bogui’s cottage, he brewed a pot of snow sprout tea and poured a cup for Jiang Beiran before saying,””We haven’t seen each other since the last time you went to pay your respects to the young heroes of the Masked Moon Sect.”

“Yes, eleven months.” Jiang Beiran nodded.

Lu Bogui laughed.” Many things have happened in the past half a year. The turmoil in Fengzhou this time is not small. It must have been hard for you to be the emperor, right?”

Sighing, Jiang Beiran nodded and said,””Yeah, it’s really tiring to be sandwiched between those big shots.”

“However, I didn’t expect you to be chosen as the emperor. It seems that senior brother doesn’t know you well enough, hahaha.”

“No, no, no. It’s not Senior Brother’s fault. I didn’t expect it myself…” After shaking his head, Jiang Beiran explained,””It was a freak combination of factors that caused me to sit on the throne. It was only because I had helped Cult Master Yin by accident during the Yingjie Meeting that he refused to let me go…”

“Hahaha!” Lu Bogui laughed out loud after hearing that. He then poured some tea for Jiang Beiran and said,””You don’t have to explain to me. No matter what you become, in my eyes, you’ll always be that little junior brother who can’t cultivate the technique. If you need any help in the future, just tell me. I’ll definitely think of a way to help you.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother!” Jiang Beiran bowed. “Oh, right, I’ve used up most of the talismans you gave me before, and I only have a few bottles of medicine left. They’re really useful. Did Cult Master Yin see your potential in this area and take a fancy to you?”

“Thank you, Junior Brother.” Taking the two Cosmos Rings from Jiang Beiran, Lu Bogui also took out a jade bottle and said,””When we were wiping out those rebels, the Shadow Moon Pavilion Lord gave me a bottle of their pavilion’s unique medicinal pill to thank us for our help. It’s called the Essence Yuan Pill. It’s said to be able to stimulate one’s potential. I think it’s quite suitable for you. Moreover, even if it can’t stimulate your potential, this pill has the effect of boosting your spirit.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother.”

“There’s also this.” Lu Bogui said as he took out a soft armor from his Universe Ring.” Although you don’t lack these now, this soft armor can withstand Celestial Chi attacks below the Mythical level. I think it suits you, so…”

“Of course I do!” Jiang Beiran immediately took the soft armor and said,” Those big shots only know how to make me work. As the Emperor, I’m always on tenterhooks. With this soft armor protecting me, I feel much more at ease.””

“As long as you like it.” Lu Bogui nodded happily.

Putting away the soft armor, Jiang Beiran took a sip of hot tea and asked,””Senior Brother, you’ve been away for so long and encountered so many things. Has your cultivation increased again?”

Lu Bogui nodded after hearing that.”

Too awesome! Jiang Beiran shouted excitedly,” I knew that Senior Brother’s talent is not inferior to anyone else’s.”

Lu Bogui shook his head and said,” He’s far from it. Wu Qingce from the Chaotic Stars Hall is the true genius. Not only did he win first place in the Heroes Gathering, he was also the most dazzling one when he eliminated the rebels. I reckon that he’s about to break through to the Spirit Selection Realm as well. He’s only twenty years old. The younger generation is truly formidable.”

“Wu Qingce? He can’t. He’s far inferior to you, Senior Brother.”

“Hey!” Lu Bogui immediately waved his hand.””Don’t talk nonsense. It’s also an important quality for a cultivator to not be blindly arrogant. That Wu Qingce does have a lot of potential. If there’s a chance, you should get to know him more. I think he will definitely become an important figure in our sect.”

“Senior Brother, you don’t have to be too humble. I think you’ll be the pillar of the Returning Heart Sect in the future.”After saying that, Jiang Beiran took out the ” Big Dipper Spiritual Technique ” from his bosom and handed it to his senior brother.””Senior Brother, this is a gift for you. See if it’s suitable for you to practice.”

“Cultivation technique?” Lu Bogui looked at Jiang Beiran in surprise, then took the Big Dipper Spiritual Technique.” What grade is it?””

Jiang Beiran didn’t hide anything and answered directly,”” Yellow Rank Middle Class cultivation technique.”

” Yellow Rank Middle Class!?” Lu Bogui was even more surprised when he heard that.” How did you get such a valuable item? Quickly put it away, Shixiong can’t accept such a big gift.”

Seeing his senior brother pushing the manual back to him, Jiang Beiran quickly said,””Senior Brother, it’s not like you don’t know that I can’t cultivate it at all. It’s a waste to take it. Just take it. In the future, when I ask you for help, I’ll have more confidence.”

Lu Bogui nodded after hearing that.”
