I Just Won't Play By The Book-Novel

386 You Don’t Play By The Rules, Too?_1

” Sigh, pretending to be asleep is hard work.’

As there were too many follow-up matters to deal with, Yin Jianghong only asked Jiang Beiran a few questions about the masked man before sending him back to the camp to rest.

Meanwhile, Jiang Beiran could only close his eyes and pretend to be asleep. As he recalled the self-enchantment earlier, he thought about when he should wake up.

He continued to pretend until the evening. When the camp was filled with discussions, Jiang Beiran finally adjusted to his normal breathing state and opened his eyes ” with difficulty “.

However, before Jiang Beiran could ask for water, a figure slowly walked into the tent and said,””You’re awake, Your Majesty.”

Jiang Beiran turned his head and saw that it was the devil of Lanzhou, Yin Jianghong’s traitorous disciple, Ji Qinglin.

“Greetings, Sect Master Ji.” Jiang Beiran opened his pale lips and said.

“You’re quite good at pretending.” The corners of Ji Qinglin’s mouth curled up slightly. He then whispered into Jiang Beiran’s ear,””I know your secret.”

“Huh?”

Jiang Beiran’s heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged.””May I know which secret Sect Master Ji is referring to?”

“Tsk tsk.” Ji Qing walked to the small table beside him and sat down.”There’s no need to hide it from me. We’re the same kind of people.”

The more Jiang Beiran listened, the more he felt that something was amiss. If Ji Qinglin could see through his strength, the system would have given him an option long ago. But now, the system was still not giving him an option…Does that mean he’s not a threat?

As soon as Jiang Beiran thought of this, three options popped up.

[Option 1: Ask Ji Qinglin how he knew. [Completion Reward: Infinite Sword Axis (Earth Grade Mid-Rank)]

[Option 2: Silence. [Completion Reward: Flying Flower Demon Book (Black Grade High Rank)]

[Choice 3:” May I know which type Sect Master Ji is referring to?”[Completion Reward: Random Basic Attribute Point +1]

Jie is indeed not a good person.

After choosing the third option, Jiang Beiran asked,””May I know what kind Sect Master Ji is referring to?”

[Mission completed. Reward: Strength +1]

“Fine, since you want to pretend, then I’ll play with you.”Ji Qinglin pointed outside with his thumb and said,””You already know that Cult Master Yin is my master. I believe you can tell that he doesn’t like me.”

Ran didn’t respond to the question. She just listened quietly.

Seeing that Jiang Beiran didn’t reply, Ji Qinglin lowered his voice and said,””So I want to ask you for a favor.”

“How about we work together to kill that old man?”

‘Pfft… You don’t play by the rules.

Jiang Beiran had thought that Ji Qinglin would say something like he liked her and could help ease their relationship, but he did not expect such a provocative question.

“Sect Master Ji, please don’t joke around like this.”

“Who’s joking with you? Do you think that old man is a good person? “Let me tell you, since he can let you sit on the throne, he can pull you down. This old man doesn’t allow two voices in the same camp, so it’s only a matter of time before you’re killed by that old man.”

“Zhen believes that Cult Master Yin is not the kind of person you speak of.”

“Acting dumb?” ” I don’t believe that you’re not worried about that old man’s sudden change of attitude.” Ji Qinglin laughed.”

“As long as I do my job well, why would Cult Master Yin fall out with me?”

“Alright, since you like to play dumb, let’s skip this topic. The reason why I want to find you to work together is firstly because I feel that you have quite the trust of that old man. Secondly, you are indeed quite smart. Thirdly…I know you have great potential, and joining hands with you will be beneficial to all my future plans.”

Seeing that Jiang Beiran was about to speak, Ji Qinglin interrupted,””You don’t have to say anything. I came to look for you today just to tell you these words. I believe that with your intelligence, you must have thought of your future and your way out. No matter which of these two paths you choose, you will inevitably have to look at Old Yin’s expression. He probably didn’t want his life to be in the hands of others, right?”

Ji Qinglin’s words were not a big problem.

If Jiang Beiran did not have the System to protect him, he would indeed be worried about Yin Jianghong’s existence. However, the problem was that he had it, so he was not afraid at all.

However, Ji Qinglin was indeed a little special. Since he had already come to her, she must take the opportunity to get to know him better. After all, knowing yourself and knowing your enemy would help you win every battle.

Jiang Beiran sat up reluctantly and asked,””I wonder what happened between Cult Master Ji and Cult Master Yin to cause such a ruckus?”

“Oh, my god!” Ji Qinglin laughed.” I’ll tell you if you agree to join hands with me.”

Jiang Beiran was about to answer when two options popped up.

[Option 1:’Then I won’t listen to it.’ Completion Reward: Steel Skeleton Treasure Scroll (Earth Grade Low-Rank)

[Option 2: Promise Ji Qinglin to tell Yin Jianghong about this. [Completion Reward: Random Special Attribute Point +1]

“Hmm?”

When he saw the Special Attribute Points appear, Jiang Beiran knew that his intention to know his enemy and himself had been interpreted by the System as seeking trouble.

After choosing the second option, Jiang Beiran replied,””Alright, I promise you.”

It was Ji Qinglin’s turn to be stunned.

“You… Agree to join forces with me?”

“Yes.” Jiang Beiran nodded.

“Just to hear about me and Old Man Yin?”Ji Qinglin asked again.
