I Just Won't Play By The Book

Chapter 534: Evil Demon Entangling the Body (2)

Translator: 549690339

As he spoke, Shi Hongfang changed his sitting posture and continued, “Do you know why Lan ‘er went to your small sect?”

“Junior doesn’t understand.” Jiang Beiran answered directly.

Actually, Jiang Beiran had a rough idea of why Shi Fenglan would appear in the Returning Heart Sect. However, this was too much of a mystery to be answered.

With a reminiscing expression, Shi Hongfang sighed and said, “On the day Lan ‘er was born, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky. Accompanied by a strange and enchanting red light, an otherworldly stone fell from the sky.”

“For this reason, my sister specially found Gu Liangren to divine for her. After Gu Liangren finished his divination, he said that my niece had an evil demon wrapped around her body and would bring many disasters. He needed to set up a formation and let Feng ‘er stay inside to barely resolve it.”

After hearing all this, Jiang Beiran was not very interested in the evil creature’s entanglement, because he knew that it was most likely arranged by the Heavenly Axiom.

‘However, the Heavenly Dao set this up really early… I haven’t even transmigrated here, and you’re already thinking about it?’

Putting aside these emotions, Jiang Beiran was truly interested in this Gu

Liangren whom Shi Hongfang had mentioned. The fact that the Profound Sage

Clan had specially invited him over and that he had no doubts about what Shi Hongfang had said showed that this Gu Liangren was definitely a saint in the aspect of fortune-telling.

What Jiang Beiran lacked right now was a guide in divination.

Firstly, the special point of divination was not high, and he did not know when he would be able to obtain it next time, so he was not like other mystic arts that could be learned without a teacher.

He knew very little about divination, but he could not find an expert in this field, so he could only figure it out himself.

Now that he had finally heard of Master God-Diviner, who even Profound Sages recognized, he had to pay him a visit.

While Jiang Beiran was thinking about how to find Gu Liangren, Shi Hongfang was still narrating Shi Fenglan’s past.

“After hearing that Gu Laoren had a solution, my younger sister first heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she immediately asked how long she would stay in this array formation. Gu Liangren’s answer is as short as twenty years, and as long as forever…”

My sister naturally couldn’t accept such an ending, so she asked why it was as short as 20 years. Gu Liangren told her that the heavenly secrets couldn’t be revealed. After 20 years, he would come back to help Lan ‘er read her fortune again. Only then would he know exactly if there was a solution.’

“Although my sister couldn’t accept this result, she could only obey Gu Liangren’s words for the sake of Lan ‘er growing up. Before Gu Liangren left, he told my sister that the evil spirit on Lan’ er was too powerful, so ordinary people couldn’t get close to her at all. Even for a mysterious sect like my sister, Gu Liangren also set a time and frequency for her to meet.”

“After that, Lan ‘er has been living in, no… To be precise, she was locked in the room where Gu Liang Ren had set up the array until her 20th birthday.”

Hearing this, Jiang Beiran felt an inexplicable sense of guilt. Although this was the Heavenly Axiom’s fault, Shi Fenglan seemed to have been imprisoned for 20 years because of him.

Pushing the door open, Jiang Beiran followed Shi Fenglan in.

Compared to the magnificence of the room outside, the room was a little plain. Of course, it was just not as fancy as the one outside. Jiang Beiran, who had a sharp eye, still spotted a few treasures at a glance.

“Black Grade High Rank Destitute Dragon Sword?!”

‘Mysterious Grade Mid-Rank Xuanlin Furnace? Wait a minute, he was using a

Xuan Grade Middle Rank furnace to burn incense!?ls this the world of tycoons?

‘That pillow…lt couldn’t be wrong. It was made of Flowing Light Warm Jade! Tsk! I’ve been looking for this jade for a long time!

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Beiran recognized the various treasures in the room. In the end, all the surprise he felt turned into one sentence.

‘Tycoon is inhumane…’

Some of the priceless treasures in the country were being used as furniture. If you were to say it was a waste, then using these things as daily necessities would indeed improve the quality of life.

But it was really extravagant!

Of course, Jiang Beiran was only observing the treasures in passing. From the moment he entered the room, he had been staring at the middle-aged man sitting on the lava chair.

‘Mystique Venerable.’

Although Jiang Beiran had already expected Shi Fenglan’s uncle to be very powerful, he did not expect him to start off as a Mystique Venerable Rank.

At this moment, Shi Hongfang, who was sitting on the lava rattan chair, said,””Lan ‘er, go out first. Uncle has something to talk to him about in private.”

Hearing Shi Hongfang’s words, Jiang Beiran and Shi Fenglan were both stunned.

“Uncle, I won’t disturb you guys. Just let me stay here.” Shi Fenglan said after she was done being stunned.

“Be good, go out first.” Shi Hongfang said with a smile.

Although these words were very soft, Shi Fenglan did not act coquettishly anymore. She nodded and said,””Alright, Uncle, don’t bully Little Bei Ran too much.”

Shi Fenglan glanced at Jiang Beiran after she finished speaking, then made a hand gesture of patting her chest to reassure him. Don’t worry, my uncle is a very good person.”

After saying this softly, Shi Fenglan left.

As the wooden door closed, Shi Hongfang first picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip. Then, he smiled and said, “Jiang Beiran…Right?”

“Junior Jiang Beiran greets Senior Shi.”

“Have a seat.”

Following Shi Hongfang’s gesture, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands in thanks and sat down on a chair.

‘Good heavens, as expected of a chair made of Golden Sun Wood. Just sitting on it makes me feel like all the meridians in my body are open. And sitting on it to cultivate, my speed has at least doubled.’

After sizing up Jiang Beiran, Shi Hongfang asked, ” What’s your relationship with Lan ‘er?”

“Playmate.” Jiang Beiran answered without batting an eyelid.

“Oh.”

Shi Hongfang was rather surprised to see that Jiang Beiran did not even flinch when he heard the question.

“His temperament is indeed excellent.”

After praising him in his heart, Shi Hongfang took another sip of tea and asked, “Did you really not have any interest in the treasures that Lan ‘er stole?”

‘As expected…’contemporary romance

Jiang Beiran had always felt that there was a pair of eyes watching Shi Fenglan. Otherwise, the System would not have reminded him to not reveal his true strength when he first met her.

Later on, Shi Fenglan was able to steal the treasures that were listed on the Rare Treasures List from her house, which also indirectly proved this point. If it wasn’t for someone or some method that had been secretly watching over Shi Fenglan, how could she really be allowed to bring these treasures out?

Just as Jiang Beiran was thinking about this, three options suddenly popped up.

[Choice 1:’Never moved.’ [Completion Reward: Celestial Pole Immortal Axis (Earth Grade Low-Rank)]

[Choice 2:”Ordinary things are just fleeting clouds.” [Completion Reward:

Moonlight Illusionary Book (Mysterious Grade Mid-Rank)]

[Choice 3:” Senior, look at what you’re saying. How can anyone not be tempted by such a treasure in front of them? I really want it.””[Completion Reward:

Random Basic Attribute Point +1]

“Hmm?”

Looking at the third option, Jiang Beiran was a little stunned. He had understood what she meant, but why was her tone so strange?

Chatting?

Their relationship wasn’t that close…

Even though he was complaining in his heart, Jiang Beiran still chose the third option decisively. He smiled and said,””Senior, look at what you’re saying. How can anyone not be tempted by such a treasure in front of them? I really want

it.”

[Mission completed. Reward: Charm +1]

‘Damn it! Why am I handsome again? Are you going to let me live?

Shi Hongfang was obviously taken aback by Jiang Beiran’s words. He did not quite understand why Jiang Beiran was suddenly so casual.

Is my smile not dignified enough?

However, compared to those juniors who were always on tenterhooks in front of him, Jiang Beiran’s behavior…

He didn’t really hate it, and even found it rather refreshing.

“Hahaha, Bei Ran is straightforward and doesn’t put on any airs at all. Since you’re tempted, why don’t you want it?”

“I’m too timid to take it.”

“Hahahaha!”

Shi Hongfang smiled happily in the face of such a junior who spoke the truth and was not afraid of anything.

After laughing for a while, Shi Hong continued,””Alright, let’s get down to business. I believe you should know why I asked Lan ‘er to bring you along this time..”
