In the dead of night, Jiang Beiran walked towards the Order of Blue Heart with light steps. On the way, he looked up at the sky and saw that the sky was filled with shining stars, like fine quicksand that covered the night sky.
“I can’t get tired of seeing the starry sky.”
Jiang Beiran admired the scenery in his heart. He then picked up the wine jug hanging by his waist and poured a mouthful of wine into his mouth.
Jiang Beiran’s footsteps became faster as he quickly returned to his own small house. However, just as he was about to open the door, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.
“Senior.”
Turning his head around, with his excellent night vision, Jiang Beiran immediately saw Lin Yuyan hiding on the small hill.
“What’s the matter?” Jiang Beiran also used voice transmission to reply.
“I just came back from Nanwang County. I brought some local specialties for you. I have put them in the old place.”
“Thanks.” Jiang Beiran opened the lid of the water tank beside him and took out a beautifully wrapped brocade box.
“Then I’ll go back first. Good night.”
Seeing Lin Yuyan’s figure quickly disappear into the night, Jiang Beiran, who was used to this scene, turned around and opened the door.
Jiang Beiran placed the brocade box on an old wooden table and gently lifted the lid.
“Nine-leaf mica mushroom, to think that she could find this…”
Looking at the umbrella-shaped purple mushroom that was faintly emitting a green fluorescent light in the box, Jiang Beiran could not help but sigh inwardly. Looking at the thick layer of spiritual powder on the mushroom lid, Jiang Beiran already knew what he should refine for the next batch of medicine.
He closed the brocade box. Then, he thought about what gift he should return to this junior sister in a few days.
As a “top beauty” who had triggered the lowest yellow grade option before, Jiang Beiran was actually very afraid of Lin Yuyan for a period of time. However, the intelligence and enthusiasm of this junior sister was something that he had never thought of.
“She is getting more and more aware of how to not trigger the system option.”
On the other side, Lin Yuyan, who had just seen Jiang Beiran, was walking back happily. Her eyes were shining with a light that even the dark night could not hide.
“Senior said a whole sentence to me today! He even took out the gift I gave him in front of me. This must be love!?” While thinking, Lin Yuyan slapped the camphor tree next to her, causing the leaves to fall down.
Over the past four years, through all sorts of careful observation and multiple analyses, she gradually understood her senior’s likes and dislikes.
She knew that she could not approach Senior Jiang when there were many people around, she could not call him out in public, and she could not suddenly rush out to give him a surprise. If that happened, she would be stared at by her senior with a terrifying gaze.
For this reason, she specially practiced voice transmission for a year.
“But it was all worth it!”
Lin Yuyan waved her fist, and after swatting away the leaves all over her body, she silently recited in her heart ten times, “Midnight is one of the times when senior is in the best mood.”
She continued walking back after she had completely memorized it.
…
The next morning, Jiang Beiran went to the Pavilion of Blue Heart as usual to greet Etiquette Protector Cheng and play a few games with him.
After pleasing Etiquette Protector Cheng and made him laughed, Jiang Beiran stood up and bade farewell. However, just as he opened the door, he saw Junyu standing in front of the door.
“Senior, Order Master was looking for you.”
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran sighed in his heart and said, “Okay, lead the way.”
Jiang Beiran followed Junyu all the way to Zixi Garden in the hall. Then, the two of them came to a sandalwood door and knocked on it.
“Come in.”
Hearing Zhang Heqing’s summons, Jiang Beiran immediately pushed the door open and walked in.
“Greetings, Order Master.”
Zhang Heqing, who was sitting at the crescent table, first took out a cup and poured some green snail tea into it. Then, he waved at Jiang Beiran and said, “No need to salute. Come over and have a seat. Have some tea with me.”
“Yes.”
After replying, Jiang Beiran sat across from Zhang Heqing and took the teacup from him.
However, when he took the teacup, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a jade teacup on the shelf behind Zhang Heqing. Jiang Beiran had been here several times. He was sure that he had never seen it before.
“Could it be…”
Jiang Beiran instantly remembered that this jade teacup was used to serve Law Protector Yu last time. Moreover, he was sure that this teacup was 99% unwashed…
“Order Master! Don’t be a pervert!” Jiang Beiran roared in his heart and took the teacup without batting an eyelid.
“Thank you, Order Master.”
Seeing that Jiang Beiran had finished the tea, Zhang Heqing took the initiative to refill the cup for him and said, “Beiran, how’s the progress on the matter that I asked you to do?”
Jiang Beiran was wondering why Order Master was so attentive today. He almost wanted to return the tea that he had just drunk.
“I can see that you are really anxious!” Jiang Beiran thought.
Zhang Heqing had asked him to do many things, so how could Jiang Beiran not understand what he meant? He was asking if Jiang Beiran had gone to Law Protector Yu.
“But it has only been a day!” After ridiculing Order Master in his heart, Jiang Beiran replied, “Order Master, I don’t know what to say if I go and find Law Protector Yu so rashly.”
“Didn’t I tell you last time, it is to deepen the relationship between the two halls so that we can develop together?”
“Order Master… I didn’t teach you this word to use it in this place…” Jiang Beiran thought.
Jiang Beiran forced a smile and continued, “But our order is focused on Go skill, and the Order of Water Mirror is focused on music. How should we develop these two together?”
“Why can’t we? They’re both elegant things, and they have something in common. Moreover, we can exchange pointers in martial arts. The Myriad Dance of Order of Water Mirror is worth learning.”
“Order Master, but this…”
“Enough.” Seeing that Jiang Beiran was still going to refuse, Zhang Heqing said directly, “Just take it as me asking you for a favor. Didn’t you say that you want to apply for a new cultivation place at the back of the mountain last time? If you get it done, I’ll approve your application.”
“You’re abusing your power!” Jiang Beiran cursed in his heart.
There were so many disciples in the Sect of Returning Hearts, and everyone wanted to apply for a cultivation place at the back of the mountain because the mountain was full of spiritual essence, and it was very suitable for cultivation. As for why Jiang Beiran liked the back of the mountain, it was because he wanted to use the spiritual energy to nourish the herbs he planted and the “little pets” he kept. Naturally, he would feel that his current place was not big enough. But every time he applied for a bigger place, he would be rejected by the Order Master. Order Master said that he already made an exception by giving him a place. It was out of line for him to apply for a second one!
Jiang Beiran originally thought that he would have for a longer time, but he did not expect that…
“Love can really drive people mad.”
Although Zhang Heqing’s conditions were already very tempting, when he thought of those junior sisters from the Order of Water Mirror who could trigger the earth grade option at any time, Jiang Beiran still decided to bear the pain. However, just as he was about to speak, three options appeared before his eyes.
[ Option 1: Reject Zhang Heqing once again. Reward: Heavenly Fire God Seal (black grade middle tier)]
[ Option 2: Change the topic with Gu Poison. Reward: Fu Yao Seal (yellow grade high tier)]
[ Option 3: Agree to Zhang Heqing’s request. Reward: random basic attribute points + 1]
“Sigh, I knew it…” As expected, the options had been triggered.. Jiang Beiran sighed deeply in his heart.
