I Just Won’t Play by the Book

"Master, just accept me, I will definitely obey the rules." Seeing the rare willingness of Master to say a few more words to himself, Shi Yutong stepped up the offensive and said.

Without waiting for Jiang Beiran to answer, the system options popped up.

[Option 1: "I said that I will not accept apprentices." Completion reward: Yanlin Yaopu (middle grade at the prefecture level)]

[Option 2: Take out a turtle shell and tell Shi Yutong that one day he can use this to figure out where he is, and one day he will accept her as his apprentice. Completion Reward: Random Basic Attribute Point +1]

'This method is a bit familiar. ’

This is as fundamental as the five golden flowers that were set to become the first disciple of the Returning Heart Sect... well, it is an almost impossible task, so that they can only focus on how to become stronger, and it will not always be possible. It was a moth that came to find him.

In other words, simply rejecting Shi Yutong will only make her more excited, so she can come up with more ways to apprentice.

She simply set an impossible goal for her, and it shattered her mind in disguise.

'High! ’

After choosing the second, Jiang Beiran took out a turtle shell from the Qiankun Ring and handed it to Shi Yutong: "Since you are so sincere, then I will give you a chance, do you know what this is?"

Hearing that the master was finally relieved, Shi Yutong said happily: "I know, tortoise shell divination."

"Fortune-telling is a skill that requires a lot of talent. If you don't have talent in this area, it's meaningless to worship me as a teacher, so if you want to become my apprentice, you must first pass my test."

What Shi Yutong is most afraid of in this life is the test, so he answered without thinking, "I wonder what kind of test the master will give me?"

Showing the back of the turtle shell to Shi Yutong, Jiang Beiran asked, "Do you know why you use turtle shells for divination?"

Shi Yutong obviously had self-taught fortune telling, so he replied confidently: "There are three squares in the middle of the turtle pattern, representing the three talents of heaven, earth, and people, and there are 24 squares next to it, representing the twenty-four solar terms. There are also twelve grids at the bottom, representing the twelve earthly branches."

Then Shi Yutong stretched out three fingers and continued: "All the characteristics add up exactly to the three talents of the Eight Trigrams, the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, Master, am I right?"

"Yes, this is tortoise shell divination." Jiang Beiran shook the tortoise shell in his hand and motioned for Shi Yutong to take it.

When Shi Yutong took the tortoise shell, Jiang Beiran said: "The test I gave you is that one day you can use this tortoise shell to calculate where I am, and I will accept you as a disciple."

[Optional task completed, reward: Charm +1]

‘Ahh! Crazy handsome, this is it! ’

Seeing that the charm has increased a little bit, Jiang Beiran feels so sick. Seeing that this new attribute point is "chasing after" the first four basic attributes, Jiang Beiran feels liver trembling.

If it continues to grow like this, God knows what kind of monsters and monsters will be attracted in the future.

Holding the tortoise shell over and over again, Shi Yutong looked up at Jiang Beiran and said, "Okay, I will definitely complete this test."

Jiang Beiran was a little surprised by Shi Yutong's reaction. He thought Shi Yutong would let him teach him how to use tortoise shells for divination first, but she didn't want to ask at all.

I don't know if she has mastered tortoise shell divination, or if she considers it part of the test.

But no matter which point, Shi Yutong met Jiang Beiran's first requirement for taking disciples.

Self-sufficient.

For the task given by the master, there are only four words "guaranteed to complete".

As for the difficult part of the task, it is up to you to find a way to solve it.

This is the perfect subordinate.

"Okay, I look forward to that day." After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he bypassed Shi Yutong and continued to walk forward.

Seeing the back of the master leaving, Shi Yutong shook the tortoise shell in his hand and smiled slightly when he heard the muffled sound of the coins inside.

‘A master is a master, and the trials given are so different, I love it! ’

...

Jiang Beiran, who bid farewell to Shi Yutong, went to the gate of Sage's Mansion to pick up Liu Weining, who was deposited here, and then took her back to Linglongfang. Now that the main purpose has been completed, the rest of the time can be spent talking about the old days.

When he came to Taiyi Hall, Jiang Beiran said to Liu Weining, "You just stay on the first floor and play by yourself."

Liu Weining, who was rubbing against the jade, nodded and said, "Okay, okay."

Nodding, Jiang Beiran went straight to the second floor and saw Lu Yangyu sitting cross-legged on the Taishi chair.

Jiang Beiran was not polite, sat directly on the chair next to Lu Yangyu and said, "I wonder what Director Lu is thinking about?"

After hearing this, Lu Yangyu smiled slightly and replied, "I'm thinking that today's young girls are really good-hearted."

"..."

Jiang Beiran of course knew that Lu Yangyu was talking about the maids who supported him one by one in the morning, but when he thought that such a trivial matter would make Lu Yangyu reminisce until now, Jiang Beiran had no choice but to sigh.

'The happiness of the old man is so simple. ’

He took out a jar of Yuhuchun from the Qiankun Ring and put it on the table. Jiang Beiran lifted the wine seal and said, "I just took it out of the cellar, try it?"

At the moment when he smelled the wine, Lu Yangyu lost his calm, put down his feet and looked forward and said, "It's still my brother who understands me, these days are killing me."

"I didn't teach you how to distill, why, still can't make spirits?"

"Hey, don't mention it." Lu Yangyu waved his hand, "It's strong, but it tastes the same as your brother.

The wine is far from good, but Lao Fu has been concentrating on his research for a while, and he should be able to brew a good one after a while. Of course, it is still incomparable with your brother's. "

Listening to Lu Yangyu's continuous flattery, Jiang Beiran took out a wine bowl and poured him some and said, "I left some good wine for you before I left last time. Have you finished drinking it?"

"I can't drink enough of those wines by myself. Lao Fu will come to rub some from time to time, and they are long gone." Lu Yangyu picked up the wine bowl and took a deep breath, and exclaimed, "Tsk tsk, this fragrance!"

After he finished speaking, he drank the wine in the bowl.

"Ha~" Satisfied, Lu Yangyu leaned back on the chair with a satisfied expression, as if he was aftertastes.

When Jiang Beiran helped him pour the second cup, Lu Yangyu suddenly said: "Brother thinks of me so much, I have nothing to repay, you were inquiring about Gu Xianweng before, so I asked you carefully, before A few days ago, I heard that Gu Xianweng seems to be going to Wei Kingdom, if you still want to find him, you can try your luck."

Jiang Beiran paused after listening to the hand holding the wine jar. He did come to Shi's house this time with the idea of ​​wanting to inquire about Gu Liangren again, but this kind of mysterious big man who everyone wants to find but can't find, he It's not easy to ask questions at will.

So I kept it on hold. Now that I heard Lu Yangyu helped him find out the news, he couldn't help but say with joy, "Thank you, Director Lu, I am indeed still looking for that Gu Liangren."

Picking up the wine bowl and taking a sip, Jiang Beiran continued to ask: "I don't know if there is more specific news besides knowing that he is going abroad?"

"That must be there, otherwise I'm not fooling you brother." Lu Yangyu took a sip of wine and continued: "My senior brother told me the news, he is now working as a protector in the Senluo Sect of Wei Kingdom, and he and I said that their suzerain seems to have invited Gu Xianweng to go to them, but the information is not necessarily accurate."

Jiang Beiran nodded after listening, thoughtfully.

"If you really want to look for it, I'll tell my senior brother, he will help you." Picking up the wine jar and pouring himself a bowl, Lu Yangyu said again, "I thought I'd be more specific and then let you know. Yes, but you're here just now, so I'll tell you first."

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Beiran put down the wine bowl and said, "Okay, then I'll ask Director Lu to help me introduce your senior brother."

Anyway, it's just to try his luck. If he does, Jiang Beiran does have a lot of things he wants to ask him, but if he can't, it means that fate has not yet arrived, and he doesn't force it.

Seeing that Jiang Beiran was determined to find Gu Xianweng, Lu Yangyu slapped his thigh and said, "No problem, I'll go write a letter to my senior brother now."

"Thank you."

"Why are you being so polite to me, brother, it should be." After Lu Yangyu said that, he went to the study.

After a while, Lu Yangyu came out of the study again and said to Jiang Beiran: "The letter has been sent, and I will tell you when my senior brother replies."

"to make."

Sitting down again, picking up the wine bowl and touching Jiang Beiran, Lu Yangyu suddenly remembered something and said, "Lao Shen hasn't been here for a while, are you still busy with the scraps?"

"Well." Jiang Beiran nodded, "I found someone to accompany him."

"I just said, if he was looking for it himself, he would definitely come to me for help every three days."

Hearing Lu Yangyu's words, Jiang Beiran couldn't help thinking that Xiaoqi didn't know how to handle this matter, but since he hasn't written a letter to ask for help, it means that it's going well.

Otherwise, Xiao Qi will definitely focus on completing the task, instead of holding on.

After the two jars of wine had finished, Lu Yangyu suddenly stood up and said, "I'll go in and see if Senior Brother has replied."

Jiang Beiran raised the wine bowl to signal that he knew.

After a while, Lu Yangyu came out again and said, "It seems that Senior Brother did not retreat today, and the reply has already arrived."

Sitting back on the Grand Master's chair, Lu Yangyu took out a ruler and handed it to Jiang Beiran and said, "This ruler is the token that I agreed with my brother, you should take it."

Nodding, Jiang Beiran took the ruler over.

"As for the specific location, I'll take a map to mark it for you later, but as long as you go to the Wei Kingdom, it will be easy to find the Sen Luozong, which is the top sect in the Wei Kingdom. There are two mysterious sects. The saint sits in it."

Jiang Beiran couldn't help laughing and said: "This Gu Xianweng really only deals with big people."

"That's not it, ordinary people can't invite him." After speaking, Lu Yangyu went back to find a map, drew a circle on it and handed it to Jiang Beiran: "This is the location of Sen Luozong, you just need to take it. Fa Ruler is staying at the foot of the mountain, and my senior brother will find you."

"Okay." Jiang Beiran took the map and glanced at it, and he probably had a number in his heart.

"It can't be too late, I don't know when this Gu Xianweng will come to my senior brother, or you can go there and wait now."

Jiang Beiran thought about it, and there is really nothing urgent to do right now, so he put a Qiankun ring on the table and said, "Okay, then I'll have a drink with the curator when I get back."

"Well, wait for you."

When Jiang Beiran turned around and went downstairs, Lu Yangyu picked up the Qiankun Ring he put on the table and looked inside, the smile on his face suddenly brightened.

When he came to the first floor, Jiang Beiran said to Liu Weining with a blank expression: "Give me back the jade, I have to go."

Liu Weining woke up like a dream, and with a face full of loss, she took out five green jade jade and said: 'Can't you really change it? ’

"I said, when you can find this kind of jade yourself, I will exchange it with you."

"All right."

Nodding, Liu Weining returned Honghuyu to Jiang Beiran with a face full of reluctance.

After taking back the Honghu Jade, Jiang Beiran left Linglongfang and returned to the Valley of Thousand Flowers.

When Shi Fenglan, who was playing the legend of Xuanlong with Xia Lingdang in the room, saw Jiang Beiran returning, she said, "Xiao Beiran, you are back."

"Well, pack up, we're going to go to Wei Kingdom."

"Wei Kingdom?" Shi Fenglan was stunned for a moment, then immediately cheered: "Okay, okay, I've never been there before."

At this time, Xia Lingdang looked up and said, "Then shall we continue to play?"

"Of course..." In the middle of the sentence, Shi Fenglan looked in the direction of Xiao Beiran and asked, "Can you play this game well before leaving?"

"Yes." Jiang Beiran nodded.

"Great."

With a cheer, Shi Fenglan knocked out a small fish in her hand, and used the character skill trick to cause an infighting between the two characters on Xia Lingdang's field, killing each other.

"I'll put another array card and end the round."

Putting away the card, Shi Fenglan turned her head and shouted to Xiao Beiran, "I originally wanted to find Momo'er to play with today, but she seems to be very busy recently and has been away from home."

"She will be busier and busier in the future."

"Why?"

"As I said last time, she is now the leader of your Shi family's younger generation. Naturally, she has a lot of things to do."

"It's so troublesome to be a leader." With a sigh, Shi Fenglan turned around and looked at the game again.

Xia Lingdang first looked at her hand and said, "I will attack your little fish with my Qiao Feng."

Facing Qiao Feng, whose attack power and blood volume were higher than her little fish, Shi Fenglan did not panic, and proudly opened the array card on the table.

"I activate the maze, and none of your characters can attack me this round."

"Okay." Xia Lingdang nodded and began to study which card to play this round.

Without standing aside to continue watching the battle, Jiang Beiran walked out of the room and looked at the flowers on the hillside outside, and checked to see if they were sick.

It didn't take long for Shi Fenglan with a smile on her face to push the door and walk out to Jiang Beiran and said, "Xiao Beiran, I won~"

"Congratulations."

"Hehe" with a smile, Shi Fenglan squatted beside Jiang Beiran and looked at the flowers on the ground and said, "Xiao Beiran, it seems that they have bloomed better since you came. Sometimes I am reluctant to pick them."

"Then don't pick it up."

"It's not enough to just watch it."

‘…’

Without continuing to speak, Jiang Beiran got up and said, "Let's go, go back to Feifu."
