I Just Won’t Play by the Book

.mhtx. "You are my little apple~ I can't love you too much~"

After returning to the back mountain of the Heart Sect, Jiang Beiran buried the malachite seeds in the soil in the newly obtained cultivation place.

Just as he was about to sprinkle some black scale powder into the soil, a small black shadow suddenly flew towards him at a very fast speed.

Glancing sideways, Jiang Beiran stretched out an index finger and stopped it in front of his chest.

After a blink of an eye, a silver-grey hummingbird appeared and stopped on its index finger.

Skillfully pulled out a rolled up note from the feathers of the hummingbird, Jiang Beiran pulled it apart and found that it was sent by Wu Qingce.

[There are three alien beasts in the birch forest. 】

'Well, it's almost time to think about it. ’

“giao~giao~”

Just as Jiang Beiran was looking at the note, the hummingbird opened its mouth impatiently and chirped again and again.

"I know, I know."

After answering, Jiang Beiran put the note into the Qiankun Ring, and then took out a piece of Kui Snake Jerky and threw it into the air.

"Giao!"

With a cry, Ying Hummingbird flew into the air at lightning speed and took the jerky away.

After the two of them finished eating the jerky, Ying Hummingbird flew to Jiang Beiran and gave a pleasing cry twice.

"One piece at a time." Jiang Beiran said as he took out a small piece of paper and wrote a line on it. And stuffed into the feathers of Ying hummingbirds.

"Giao..." She cried out in despair, knowing that Jiang Beiran said that she wouldn't give more if she didn't give more, Ying Hummingbird turned around and flew down the mountain.

As dusk approached, Jiang Beiran left the Guixin Sect after making various preparations, and came to a small town outside the birch forest after a stick of incense.

"Hey~ objectively, what would you like to order? The specialty of our shop is the green smoke green from Qingfeng Villa next to it. The tea brewed has a strong and refreshing taste, and it is fragrant and pleasant. You will be satisfied."

Facing the enthusiastic shop assistant, Jiang Beiran nodded and said, "I'm looking for a friend, his surname is Liu."

"Oh~" Xiao Er immediately understood, "The guest is upstairs, I'll take you upstairs, come, the floor is dirty, be careful of your feet when you go."

Looking at the diligence of the second shopkeeper, Jiang Beiran knew that Wu Qingce had ordered good tea or gave him money.

Following the shop assistant to the second floor, Jiang Beiran quickly saw Wu Qingce sitting by the window.

"Thank you, go get busy." Jiang Beiran took out two copper plates from his pocket and handed them to the shop assistant.

"Thank you Lord, thank you Lord." The shop assistant who took over his companion was overjoyed, bowing and returning to the first floor.

Seeing Jiang Beiran walking towards him, Wu Qingce, who was wearing an ordinary ge robe, immediately stood up and shouted, "Brother Wang, you're here, sit down, sit down."

Nodding, Jiang Beiran sat opposite Wu Qingce.

Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Beiran saw two options pop up in front of him.

[Option 1: Ask directly about the alien beast. Completion Reward: Seven-Star Ancient Moon Knife (Lower Profound Grade)]

[Option 2: Talk about the matter of returning to the heart. Completion Reward: Panlong Silver Mace (Yellow Grade Middle Grade)]

[Option 3: Just talk about some ordinary after-dinner things. Completion Reward: Random Basic Attribute Point +1]

'Anyone grabbing food? ’

Jiang Beiran wanted to ask Wu Qingce which alien beasts he saw entering the forest, but now it seems that there are "people with a heart" in the teahouse.

After choosing three, Jiang Beiran said, "I heard that there is another disaster in Hedongcheng."

Wu Qingce was stunned at first, but quickly responded, "What disaster?"

"The plague of locusts, the old people are dead, I hope they don't fly to us."

During the chat, Jiang Beiran swept the teahouse with his mental power, and found that there was a fourth-order mysterious teacher sitting on the first floor.

'Strange, this mysterious master also found the treasure in the birch forest? It doesn't make sense...'

In doubt, Jiang Beiran and Wu Qingce were talking about a cup of tea when they heard the system prompt.

[Optional task completed, reward: Agility +1]

With their eyes, Wu Qingce motioned to another place to chat, and the two went downstairs and walked out of the teahouse together.

"Two lords, walk slowly~" The little Er at the door waved and shouted diligently.

All the way to an uninhabited pavilion, Jiang Beiran checked that there were no practitioners around and said, "There is a mysterious master in the teahouse. I don't know if he came to the birch forest."

"Mysterious Master" Wu Qingce was a little surprised. After all, the chance of encountering a mysterious master in such a run-down town is not that big.

"Well, in short, pay attention, first tell me what's going on in the birch forest."

"Yes." In response, Wu Qingce replied: "In addition to the previous second-order thunder pattern, there is a second-order evil dragon and a second-order blood shadow beast."

'Very good, this hexagram is finally right once. ’

As one of the special skill points, Jiang Beiran's [divination] is actually not too low, but the success rate is really not high, but as long as he counts it exactly once, he can always have a very good harvest.

"Let's rest for a while, we will enter the forest at Hai Shi."

"Yes!" After Wu Qingce finished speaking, he took out a chessboard from the Qiankun Ring and asked, "Then... do you want to play two games of chess? Of course, it is to guide chess."

Looking at Wu Qingce's expectant eyes, Jiang Beiran smiled: "Okay, then you go first."

"Thank you, brother!"

found a room

The inn went down until late at night. Although Wu Qingce was losing, he was getting more and more excited. After he cleared the chessboard again, just as he was about to play again, he felt a slap on the forehead.

"Ouch." Covering his forehead and shouting, Wu Qingce glanced at Jiang Beiran aggrievedly, his eyes full of blankness.

"Playing fun and getting things wrong, should we fight?"

After hearing this, Wu Qingce immediately woke up, "Is it already the hour? Why do I remember that I just knocked on the clock, and an hour has passed?"

As soon as Wu Qingce finished speaking, he heard the sound of a gong outside.

"Boom! Boom!"

"The sky is dry and the things are dry~ Be careful with the candles~"

"Senior brother, you are more accurate than playing..." Wu Qingce quickly put the chessboard into the Qiankun Ring after admiring it.

"Let's go."

Taking advantage of the night, Jiang Beiran took Wu Qingce out of the town along the gravel path, and before he took a few steps, he saw a system prompt appearing in front of him.

[Option 1: Go directly to the birch forest. Completion Reward: Dragon-shaped Soft Body Technique (Middle-grade Xuan-level)]

[Option 2: Go to the birch forest when you are ugly. Completion Reward: Sharp Fire Sword (Yellow Grade Middle Grade)]

[Option 3: Let Wu Qingce exude profound energy. Completion Reward: Random Basic Skill Point +1]

"It seems that the teahouse has some problems with that person..."

With a sigh, Jiang Beiran chose three, and turned to Wu Qingce and said, "Use my profound energy to speed up the journey."

Although he didn't understand the intention of the senior brother, Wu Qingce still answered "yes", and with luck, he concentrated his profound energy under his feet.

"go."

ps: I suddenly heard a very philosophical question today, and I want to ask you, how old are you when you found out that you were not a handsome guy?
