I Just Won't Play By The Book-Novel

301 Sword Discussion on Mount Hua (1)

“Why didn’t you change your clothes?”Yu Manwen asked as she looked at Jiang Beiran’s imperial robe.

Jiang Beiran nodded. “That’s right. This time, I’m returning as the Emperor to discuss some matters with the Sect Master, so I naturally have to dress formally.”

Yu Manwen chuckled.” What an emperor. It seems like you’re quite devoted to being an emperor.””

“Of course, I’ve always been serious.”

Yu Manwen was about to retort when she heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that Jiang Beiran’s words were not false. Although his first reaction was to shirk most of the time, once he accepted a task, he would do it better than anyone else.

It was the same for accompanying the hall master to play, and it was the same for participating in the heroes gathering.

“Little Bei Ran ~”

Just as Yu Manwen was about to praise Jiang Beiran, a beautiful figure dashed out of the main hall. She was so fast that Jiang Beiran didn’t even have time to dodge before she was pounced on.

Actually, it was not that Jiang Beiran could not dodge, but the speed was not something a Mortal Realm disciple like him could dodge.

“Didn’t you say that you would come back in ten days? Why did it take so long this time?” Shi Fenglan shouted as she punched Jiang Beiran with her small fists.

“The court has been too busy recently. Didn’t I write to you?”Jiang Beiran replied.

“I don’t care! You said you would come back every ten days! What’s the use of sending a letter!”

“Oh, then I won’t send a letter next time.”

“Don’t, don’t, don’t. I have to send it, I have to send it.”Shi Fenglan waved her hand as she spoke.

Jiang Beiran chuckled.” I’ve been bragging this time,” he said.” I’ll make you a fish to make it up to you.””

“Two, I want two!” Shi Fenglan immediately extended two fingers and said.

“Don’t push your luck. It’s just one fish.”Jiang Beiran then looked at Yu Manwen and said,””Protector Yu, do you want to stay and eat together?”

“I want to try it, but my five disciples are still waiting for me.”Speaking of her five disciples, Yu Manwen couldn’t help but size up Jiang Beiran with her eyes, but in the end, she didn’t say anything and left.

After making a sumptuous meal in the kitchen, Jiang Beiran invited Little Duo and Shi Fenglan to sit around the table and eat.

During dinner, Jiang Beiran told Shi Fenglan and the others about his life as an emperor for the past two months.

Shi Fenglan shouted in surprise as she listened to Jiang Beiran’s description of the lives of the villagers.

“Yes, there are people who don’t have clothes to wear, people who don’t have a house to live in, and people who are sick and can only wait for death.”

Swallowing the fish in her mouth, Shi Fenglan took out a Qian Kun ring and said,””There are a lot of precious materials and silver here.”

Little Duo also took out the little sunny egg on her waist and said,””I… Even though I don’t have much, please take it to buy some food for the people.”

Looking at the Cosmos Ring and purse in front of him, Jiang Beiran chuckled and said,””I appreciate your kindness, but if you really want to help the people, money alone is not enough.”

“Why? Can’t we buy food with money?” Shi Fenglan tilted her head and asked.

“The officials and gentry have plenty of ways to trick the money you gave to the commoners into their own pockets. If you really want the commoners to have enough to eat, there are many things that need to be changed.”

“What is it? Do you need my help?” Shi Fenglan said enthusiastically.

“No need. I can handle this myself.”

“Alright then…” Shi Fenglan said as she picked up another piece of fish and put it into her mouth.

To her, although she knew that it was pitiful for the commoners to not have food, she could not imagine how pitiful it was because she had never suffered like this. The world she saw and the world the commoners saw were completely different worlds.

After a full meal, Shi Fenglan impatiently took out her Vigilante A and prepared to gamble.

However, Jiang BeiRan waved his hand and took out a blue Cosmos Ring from his bosom, from which he took out a brand new chessboard.

“You’ve performed well these past two months. You didn’t come to the palace to make a scene, nor did you go to the sect master to argue.”Jiang Beiran placed the “betting plate” on the table.

“Wow!” Shi Fenglan shouted excitedly. She looked at the brand new gambling board and was lost in thought.” What’s this called?”

” Sword duel on Mount Hua.”

After answering, Jiang Beiran took out two thick stacks of Character Summon Cards and a large number of Equipment and Skill Summon Cards from his Cosmos Ring.

Shi Fenglan grabbed a handful impatiently and read slowly,””Kill… Flash…A pancake?”

“Okay, now I’ll give you a simple explanation of the gambling method.”

Picking up the cards one by one, Jiang Beiran began to explain the functions and effects of each card in detail.

After ten minutes, Shi Fenglan nodded and said,”I get it, I get it. If I take this Xiao Longnu Character Summon Card, I only have three HP, right?”

“That’s right.” Jiang Beiran nodded.

“Good! Come and gamble, come and gamble, I’ve learned it!”

” Where’s Little Duo? Have you learned it?”

“I still don’t understand.” Little Duo scratched her head.”

“It’s okay. You’ll know it if you take a gamble.”

After distributing the Character Summon Cards and setting the rule of killing the underling to protect the overling, the three of them began their first game of Vigilante A Kill.

“Kill them!” “Flash!” “Kill again!”

“What? Wasn’t it said that only one kill card could be used in a round?”

“With the Blood Guillotine, I can kill without limit.”

“Oh… Then I won’t dodge.”

“Then deduct your HP.”

Looking at her last drop of blood, Shi Fenglan looked at Little Duo and said,””Little Duo, do you have any pancakes? Hurry up and save me. Otherwise, if I lose, it means that you lose too.”
