I Just Won't Play By The Book-Novel

Chapter 92 Brother Jiang Seemed to Have Become Much More Handsome

“Today is a wonderful- I have breakfast with Brother Jiang- Just the two of us in the pavilion-“

The sky had just brightened when Lin Yuyan was already wiping the stone table in the pavilion. She was humming a little tune with a smile on her face.

These two months were the happiest since she joined the Sect of Returning Hearts because she could meet her senior brother once every twenty hours. “Even the newlyweds aren’t this sweet, right? Hehe.”

After wiping the pillars of the pavilion, Lin Yuyan took out the laba congee and the heart-shaped steamed cakes from the food box and placed them on the table. She then placed two or three side dishes and dipping sauces around the table, and a sumptuous breakfast was finished. Just as Lin Yuyan was about to set up another plate, she heard a familiar voice.

“I said before that I’m only here to teach you calligraphy, there’s no need to prepare breakfast.”

She hurriedly turned around and bowed. “Good morning, Brother Jiang.” Then she explained, “Because I’m leaving for the Sect of Masked Moon tomorrow, so I want to prepare a breakfast to thank you for your teaching over the past month.”

“Alright, thank you.”

Jiang Beiran sat on the stone chair and picked up the bowl to drink a mouthful of porridge.

Putting down the bowl, Jiang Beiran said under Lin Yuyan’s expectant gaze, “The porridge is too thick. The red beans, longans, and peanuts are not tasty enough. Next time, you can try adding some brown sugar.”

Lin Yuyan felt like she had been struck by lightning when she heard Jiang Beiran’s review. She could not help but blame herself in her heart, “I really am an unqualified wife.”

Lin Yuyan reflected on the pain. As she listened, she wrote down what her senior brother had said.

Then, Jiang Beiran tasted the other steamed biscuits and side dishes and gave his comments one by one.

“I’m sorry, Brother Jiang. I’ll improve next time!”

Lin Yuyan said as she put the leftover breakfast into the food box.

Seeing that the table was clean, Jiang Beiran nodded and said, “Alright, take out the piece I asked you to write last time.” “Yes.”

After correcting the last “homework” of Lin Yuyan, Jiang Beiran took out a pair of slender weapons from his storage ring and handed them to Lin Yuyan. “The blood transformation seal you gave me last time was very enlightening to me. I couldn’t thank you enough by just teaching you calligraphy. Here, rake these Emei piercers.”

“Emei… piercers?”

Lin Yuyan looked curiously at this two-feet-long weapon with four edges. “I see that you like to use short-ranged weapons. This pair of Emei piercers can be hidden in the palm of your hand to attack the enemy unprepared.” “You made these for me?!” Lin Yuyan said in surprise.

“Yes.” Jiang Beiran nodded. “Then let’s call it a day. Remember to practice more when you go back.”

After saying that, Jiang Beiran turned around and left the pavilion.

After looking at the Emei piercers in his hands several times, Lin Yuyan hugged them in front of her chest and thought, “Is this the exchange of love tokens? It seems that I have to quickly inform father to prepare the dowry!”

After returning to the Order of Blue Heart to settle some minor matters, Jiang Beiran, who had made all the necessary preparations, sat in the Purple Bamboo Garden and carefully studied the soul baby fruit.

The soul baby fruit was about the size of an adult’s fist. Its pink outer skin had a hint of yellow.

The soul baby fruit had a reputation of being able to bring back people to life and cause people die. It was because when it was refined in a different way, the effects would be completely different.

If one refined it into a healing pill, one would be able to regrow a severed limb after consuming it. If one refined it into a poison, the organs in one’s entire body would rapidly deteriorate after consuming it. Even a mystic king level expert could not force out the soul baby fruit’s poison with his cultivation strength.

However, regardless of healing purpose or refining poison, the conditions for refining the soul baby fruit into a medicinal pill were extremely harsh. There were very high requirements for the cauldron, charcoal fire, auxiliary materials, and skills.

As for Jiang Beiran, other than his alchemy skills, the other three things were not up to the standard. “Well, I’ll just see it as the next stage of my

goal.”

After saying this, Jiang Beiran stuffed the soul baby fruit back into the brocade box.

The next morning, accompanied by the deep and melodious sound of bells, Jiang Beiran strolled to the main peak of the sect of returning hearts, Qiyun Peak.

Qiyun Peak was surrounded by water on all sides. The lone peak stood tall. The trees on the mountain were luxuriant, and the green bamboos formed a shade. However, it was not as quiet as it used to be. Today, the chosen disciples of the 24 orders had gathered at the foot of the mountain. There were more than a hundred people, all of them were in high spirits.

Following the flag, Jiang Beiran quickly found the meeting point of the Order of Blue Heart. However, when he was about to walk toward the group, a huge sense of resistance rose in his heart.

“Order Master Zhang really take the cooperation too seriously…” Jiang Beiran thought disdainfully.

The group of the Order of Blue Heart was next to the group of the Order of Water Mirror. Moreover, the disciples of the two divisions were standing very close to each other. Even if Jiang Beiran didn’t stand close to them, he could still feel the gazes of the other disciples from all directions from time to time. He could feel their envy, jealousy, and hatred from their gazes.

Just as Jiang Beiran was thinking about whether he should go up alone later, he heard Zhang Heqing shouted on a rock, “Beiran, hurry up and line up. What are you standing there for?”

“Tsk… It seems that Order Master is still angry that I didn’t bring him into the Tinglan Waterside Pavilion. You deserve to be single forever!”

“Brother Jiang!”

Hearing Zhang Heqing called out Beiran, Liu Zijin and the other four people’s hearts shook violently. They turned their heads around together.

It had been three months. They had looked for all sorts of ways to meet their senior brother, but they never met him by chance. Now, they had finally gotten what they wanted.

At this moment, Fang Qiuyao even felt like crying. In order to go to the Sect of Masked Moon, she had practiced the zither with all her might for the past two months. In the end, with the help of Liu Zijin and the three Yu Sisters, she managed to get a spot in the team competition from her Order Master.

And she had put in so much effort just so that she could thank her senior brother face to face.

“Brother Jiang seems to have become much more handsome…”

Looking at Jiang Beiran’s unusual pace, Fang Qiuyao felt that her senior brother was completely different from the other disciples. He was so unique.

At this moment, Liu Zijin’s face was also a little flushed. Just looking at her senior brother’s face, the “severe” criticism from a few months ago seemed to be ringing in her ears again, making her heart beat faster.

The three Yu sisters’ unsatisfied curiosity was once again aroused. Each and every one of them was determined to find out how many more abilities senior brother had yet to display.

Other than the three Yu sisters, the other female disciples of the Order of Water Mirror were also very curious. After working with the Order of Blue Heart for so long, they already knew almost all of the outstanding male disciples, except for this Jiang Beiran. He was clearly on the list of outstanding young talents, but they had never seen him in person.
