[ Option 1: Directly reject Yin Jianghong’s request. Reward: Black Frost Record (middle tier black grade)]

[ Option 2: Ask Guan Shi’an for help and tactfully reject Yin Jianghong. Reward: Luan Spider Robe (high tier yellow grade)]

[ Option 3: Take over the list. Reward: Random basic attribute points + 1]

“Sigh, I can’t escape this time.”

Jiang Beiran actually didn’t want to look at this list. After all, this list was very likely to be filled with influential figures of the demonic cult. Moreover, it was very likely to be related to a major matter of the demonic cult. However, just when he thought of rejecting Yin Jianghong, three system options popped up.

From the options, Jiang Beiran could confirm once again that no matter how down-to-earth Yin Jianghong looked, he was still the overlord of a region. If he could not find a suitable reason to reject Yin Jianghong, he could not say anything now. However, he would still be cautious, and he would fall out with Yin Jianghong if necessary.

After choosing option 3, Jiang Beiran helplessly took the list with both hands.

[ Chosen quest completed. Reward: Agility + 1]

Upon hearing the notification, Jiang Beiran suddenly realized that just need to take the list. He did not necessarily have to do anything else. However, at this moment, Yin Jianghong was staring at him. Jiang Beiran could not just go through the name list perfunctorily. So, he could only use his acting skills that he had practiced for five years again. He used all kinds of expressions to express that he was really serious. In fact, he was actually thinking about what he would eat for breakfast the next day.

However, just as he was about to finish flipping through the list, a name suddenly caught Jiang Beiran’s attention.

[ Li Cangtian ]

“This name is so rebellious!”

Looking down, he learned that this person was the leader of the Church of Blood Inferno.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Beiran’s memory was instantly activated. “Isn’t this the father of that silly boy?”

Jiang Beiran suddenly thought of Li Fucheng that had the main character vibe, Jiang Beiran couldn’t help but sigh.

“I don’t know how he’s doing now, but with that Third Uncle following him, it shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

When he thought of that Third Uncle, Jiang Beiran immediately felt sorry for this “Li Cangtian”.

However, Jiang Beiran, who was an excellent actor, didn’t stay too long on Li Cangtian’s page. He quickly flipped to the next page.

It wasn’t until he had finished flipping through all the names on the list that Jiang Beiran let out a long breath.

“How is it? Did you recognize any of them?” Yin Jianghong asked.

Putting the list aside, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands toward Yin Jianghong and said, “Actually, I have only heard of the name of the Yellow Gang. I haven’t come into contact with many of them, so these names don’t look familiar.” “I see…” Yin Jianghong nodded. “Then, do you think the Yellow Gang has anything to do with Sect Master Huang? You know, ‘Huang’ also means yellow.”

“Why you have to ask such silly question.” Jiang Beiran had a headache when he heard Yin Jianghong’s question.

However, while Jiang Beiran was still struggling to answer Yin Jianghong, Guan Shi’an said first, “Cult Master Yin, isn’t this a little too far-fetched? Is there no one else with the surname Huang in the demonic cult?”

“Sigh! It’s really a coincidence. There really isn’t one.” Yin Jianghong said with a smile.

Seeing the two childish adults arguing again, Jiang Beiran had no intention to continue participating the conversation. He sat silently at the side. He didn’t help either side. After all, he couldn’t afford to offend either of them.

When the two of them were having a good time arguing, Yin Jianghong put away the name list that Jiang Beiran put on the table and said, “Sigh, it’s all troublesome.” At this point, Yin Jianghong suddenly rolled his eyes and shouted, “Beiran.”

Upon hearing Yin Jianghong’s shout, Jiang Beiran suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body. “This shout is definitely not good…”

However, Jiang Beiran still cupped his hands and replied, “I wonder what instructions you have for me.”

“You said just now that you don’t want me to go to your Sect of Returning Hearts, right?”

“I didn’t really mean that. I only hope that…”

“Stop, stop, stop. You don’t have to say so much nonsense. If you want me to not go, that’s fine. Then, can you help me investigate the Yellow Gang in the Rivernorth District?”

“F*ck you! Didn’t you say you wouldn’t come just now? Why are you talking about conditions?!” While Jiang Beiran was cursing crazily in his heart, Guan Shilan said calmly, “I’m afraid it’s inappropriate for Cult Master Yin to order my disciples around.”

“Your words are meaningless. I’m just asking help from Beiran to resolve the conflict between the righteous sect and the demonic cult. It’s good for everyone. Besides, isn’t the Yellow Gang a thorn in the side of your righteous sect? It shouldn’t be a problem for him to solve it, right?” Guan Shilan felt that there was indeed no problem after hearing that. Then, he said, “In that case, Beiran, you’ll have to work hard. After all, you’ve seen it now. Before the matter is thoroughly investigated, we can’t mobilize many people, and you’re one of the few disciples that we can absolutely trust at this stage.” “F*ck!”

Jiang Beiran had guessed that he would not be able to shake off these two big shots easily. He had also planned to use a year or two to remake himself into a rookie that knew nothing.

But he did not expect that these two mystic master level big shots would use him, a qi refining level disciple, as a coolie.

“Don’t you have any trusted aides or something!? Don’t most big shots cultivate hundreds of death warriors? Don’t you have one? If that’s so, then you’re a failure.”

Looking at the two big shots smiling at him at the same time, Jiang Beiran resisted the pressure and cupped his hands. “I also wants to help the two sect masters solve their problems, but my cultivation is low, and I am not wise enough. It’s really difficult for me to take on such a big responsibility. If I spoil your big plans, I really can’t bear it.”

It was as if he had long expected Jiang Beiran to answer like this, Yin Jianghong laughed and said, “Hahaha, Beiran, why do you have to belittle yourself? I see that you’re really thoughtful. However, your cultivation is indeed a little low, but I’ve also considered this point. When the time comes, I’ll send Yaoyao to go with you to investigate. In this way, the two of you will complement each other.”

“Complement my a*s!”

At this moment, Jiang Beiran wanted to slap Yin Jianghong twice in the face.

This was a huge trap! “This…”

Jiang Beiran hesitated for a moment and looked at Guan Shi’an.

“Big Brother, say something! This devil has arranged for his daughter to work together with your cute disciples. How can you tolerate this?” Jiang Beiran was begging Guan Shi’an in his heart.

Yin Jianghong naturally noticed Jiang Beiran’s gaze and knew that he had some misgivings. He said to Guan Shi’an, “Sect Master Guan, why don’t we treat this mission as the start of the cooperation between the righteous sect and demonic cult?”

Guan Shi’an thought for a moment after hearing this and finally nodded. “That’s good too. Two disciples from righteous sect and devil cult to get rid of the troublesome Yellow Gang. This will work!”

“This will work my a*s. Sigh, forget it.”

Jiang Beiran was tired of complaining in his heart. He decided not to complain anymore. He needed to focus on how to save himself!
