Jiang Beiran followed Yu Manwen and walked to a courtyard while looking for that strange fragrance.
“Hmm the strange fragrance came from here.” Jiang Beiran was about to ask Yu Manwen where they were, then Yu Manwen suddenly said, “You really know how to find it. This is the residence of our Order Master.”
“Order Master…” Jiang Beiran’s heart tightened, but he really wanted to know what kind of flower this fragrance came from.
“Yes… the system didn’t jump out of the option, so it shouldn’t be a big problem.” Jiang Beiran felt a little relieve.
“Law Protector Yu, I wonder if you can introduce me.”
Yu Manwen looked at Jiang Beiran in surprise and asked, “What’s so special about this flower fragrance? It’s so attractive to you.”
“I’m not saying that it’s special. I’m just a little curious because I’ve never smelled that fragrance before.”
“You… You don’t have much truth in your mouth.” Yu Manwen shook her head and walked to the front of the courtyard and knocked on the door twice.
Not long after, a girl dressed as a maid opened the courtyard door. When she saw that it was Yu Manwen who knocked on the door, she quickly bowed and said, “Greetings, Law Protector Yu.”
Yu Manwen nodded slightly and asked, “Is Order Master here?”
“Yes, please come in.” as the maid spoke, she opened the two wooden doors at the same time.
“There’s no rush. Go in first and inform her that I’ve brought a disciple from the Order of Blue Heart. Ask her if she’s willing to receive him.”
After hearing this, the maid looked at Jiang Beiran with a surprised expression and said, “Okay, please wait a moment.”
After the maid ran back to the courtyard, Yu Manwen looked at Jiang Beiran and said, “When you see Order Master later, don’t talk nonsense. She is not as good-tempered as me.”
Jiang Beiran naturally understood the hidden meaning of this sentence and quickly bowed, “Law Protector Yu, you are magnanimous. I apologize to you.”
Yu Manwen did not answer after listening, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Just as Jiang Beiran was about to ask what kind of person the Order Master of Order of Water Mirror was, his mind power suddenly vibrated. At the same time, three options appeared in front of his eyes.
[ Option 1: Look back. Reward for completion: Strength Scroll (black grade middle tier)]
[ Option 2: Take a step forward. Reward for completion: Pine Meditation Technique (yellow grade high tier)]
[ Option 3: Stand still. Reward for completion: Random basic skill points + 1]
After choosing option 3, Jiang Beiran continued to chat with Yu Manwen with his usual expression. However, after a breath, he felt a hand on his shoulder.
“Who is it!?” Jiang Beiran performed his Oscar acting skill and took a step forward. Then, he quickly turned around and looked behind him with a look of surprise and fear.
When he focused his eyes and saw clearly, he saw a tall woman in a dark green wide-sleeved dress, standing there and looking at him with a playful expression.
This tall woman looked to be about 30 years old. Her face was as pretty as a hibiscus, and her eyebrows were as gentle as willows. Her eyes were even more charming than peach blossoms, and her black hair was tied into a high beauty bun, a phoenix-tail pearl hairpin was shining brightly under the sun.
However, what shocked Jiang Beiran the most was her clothes. The collar of her skirt was already quite low, and she had already opened it to a point where it was not suitable for underage children to look at.
Jiang Beiran could even vaguely see that this woman seemed to have a pair of flower-like arms from her sleeves.
“This is the child you brought?” The tall woman looked at Yu Manwen and asked.
“Yes, Order Master. His name is Jiang Beiran. He is an outer disciple of the Order of Blue Heart.”
“Order Master!?” Jiang Beiran was shocked. Although he had heard that the Order Master of the Order of Water Mirror was an attractive woman, he didn’t expect she would be such a seductive woman. No wonder nobody had seen her in an official occasion for so many years. She was probably worried that the juniors who had just entered the order couldn’t stand the stimulation!
“Outer disciple?” Shi Fenglan sized up Jiang Beiran with interest and asked, “Are you looking for me for something?”
After calming himself down, Jiang Beiran bowed and said, “I, Jiang Beiran, pay a visit to Order Master. Indeed, I have something to ask of you.”
“Speak.” Shi Fenglan readily agreed.
“As soon as I entered the Mirror Garden, I smelled a strange fragrance. I followed the fragrance all the way to the door of your courtyard. As I was too curious about this strange fragrance, I took the liberty to ask the Law Protector Yu to introduce it to me.”
“Oh?” Shi Fenglan’s smile became even wider after she heard it, as if she had heard something interesting, “Come, describe this strange fragrance to me. If it is well said, I will not only satisfy your curiosity, but also give you other rewards.”
“Then I will embarrass myself. If it is not well described, please forgive me, Order Master.” After saying that, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands, he began to describe, “This strange fragrance is not very strong, but it is long-lasting. It has the taste of citrus, but it is not sweet at all. In the end, there is still some orchid fragrance, but it is not as tacky as it is.”
After hearing that, Shi Fenglan’s beautiful eyes instantly lit up. She quickly walked in front of Jiang Beiran and gently pinched his nose. “Very impressive. Can you really identify the source of each fragrance from such a complicated flower fragrance?”
Jiang Beiran shook his head. “I can only smell a few special ones.”
“Order Master, don’t listen to his nonsense. He’s very good at hiding his ability.” Yu Manwen suddenly interjected.
Shi Fenglan laughed when she heard this, “To be able to accurately describe the scent of Yu Ling Long from the fragrance of a hundred flowers, do you think I’ll believe that this kid’s nonsense? Come, come, come. Let’s go inside. I want to see what other abilities you have.”
After Shi Fenglan finished speaking, she stretched out her arm and hooked it around Jiang Beiran’s neck as they walked into the courtyard.
After the two of them had walked far away, the maid standing at the door could not help but exclaim, “That senior from the Order of Blue Heart is really amazing…”
Yu Manwen, who was about to follow them, stopped and asked, “Oh? How is he amazing?”
The maid immediately replied, “Because there will be conflicts between the fragrance of flowers, and they will even cover each other up. There are nearly a hundred types of flowers and trees in the Mirror Garden, and the scent can be said to be messy and complicated. Being able to distinguish each type of fragrance in this kind of situation was quite an amazing ability.”
After hearing that, Yu Manwen smiled slightly and thought to herself, “I knew that he was lying to me before. He is much more than just ‘barely distinguish’ the fragrance.”
After carefully asking the maid a few more questions about Jiang Beiran’s specific strength, Yu Manwen went to the garden in the courtyard. Just as she was about to find out where the two of them had gone, she heard Jiang Beiran’s voice coming from not far away.
“Order Master, please be gentle. Don’t look at how strong it is, it’s actually very fragile. You must be careful when handle it.”
“I’m not gentle enough. Why don’t you show me how?”
“Alright, Order Master, please take a good look.”
