I Just Won't Play By The Book

Chapter 103 Everyone Was Putting on an Act

Seeing that Xu Jingqiu didn’t answer, Lu Yinlong said, “Qingce, go and catch the person who injured our sect’s disciples. This time, I’ll see who dares to stop you.”

With that, a burst of amber-colored mystic energy erupted from Lu Yinlong’s body, shocking all the surrounding disciples to step back. Even the mystic energy in his body began to surge non-stop, as if it would break out of control at any moment.

The aura of a mystic emperor was extremely terrifying!

Although Xu Jingqiu was not as embarrassed as the surrounding disciples, he was still shocked by the sudden burst of mystic energy from Lu Yinlong. Moreover, in the face of the might of a mystic emperor, he could not say much, after all, his realm was only mystic spirit, two whole realms lower than Lu Yinlong’s.

Among cultivators, the mystic king was a huge watershed. Many cultivators could not break through the level of the mystic king in their whole lives, but only after breaking through the mystic king could they truly step into the realm of the strong. They were qualified to get a share of the spoils in this chaotic world.

Similarly, mystic king was also the most basic condition for establishing a sect. Otherwise, if one started a sect before reaching the mystic king level, it would basically be no different from playing house. They would not be able to achieve anything, and they would have to worry about being wiped out by others every day.

The mystic king was also divided into nine levels, and each level was harder than the last. To break through to the mystic emperor level from the mystic king level, one had to have talent, hard work, intelligence, and luck. The reason why the Sect of Returning Hearts was able to stand tall in Lulin County, which had more abundant resources in the Fengzhou, was precisely because of Lu Yinlong. He was a mystic emperor level Sect Master after all

After hearing the order of Sect Master Lu, Wu Qingce did not hesitate at all. He replied with a “Yes” and walked toward the guest house of the Sect of True Martial.

“Who dares to be impudent in front of our Sect of True Martial!”

Just when Xu Jingqiu did not know what to do, a stern shout came from the sky. A man wearing a dark brown embroidered python robe flew over. The aura that erupted from his body was no less than that of Lu Yinlong.

“You don’t normally see mystic emperors roaming around anywhere except here. This is exciting!”

Jiang Beiran, who was mingling with the surrounding disciples, wanted to order a bucket of popcorn and a super large cup of soda. Otherwise, he couldn’t enjoy the upcoming show thoroughly.

However, the other surrounding disciples were not as big-hearted as Jiang Beiran. Some of the cautious disciples had already quietly retreated.

Jiang Beiran also understood their thoughts. After all, the two mystic emperors were at daggers drawn. If a fight broke out later, it was very likely that they would accidentally hurt a few ‘lucky audiences’.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Lu Yinlong smiled and said, “Sect Master Yu, how have you been? Your ability to manage your subordinates is really getting worse and worse.”

Yu Zhengyang was not a good-tempered person. Since Lu Yinlong had spoken so rudely, he replied in a cold voice, “It’s none of your business, Lu Yinlong.”

“Ha, do you think I want to interfere in your business? If it weren’t for the elder of your sect bullied my sect’s disciples, I wouldn’t even look at him.” After Lu Yinlong said that, he shouted at Wu Qingce, who had stopped in his tracks, “Qingce, continue to do your thing. I will stop Yu Zhengyang for you.”

“Hiss…”

Upon hearing this, all the surrounding disciples sucked in a breath of cold air. This was too ruthless. Wu Qingce was at most a great mystic practitioner, yet Lu Yinlong actually wanted him to capture a disciple of his sect in front of a mystic emperor. It was like pushing him into a pit of fire.

However, Wu Qingce did not hesitate at all. He turned around and cupped his hands at Lu Yinlong, saying “Yes” before he continued to walk forward.

“How dare you!”

With an angry roar, Yu Zhengyang’s figure instantly appeared in front of Wu Qingce. At the same time, his right hand grabbed toward his shoulder.

“Why wouldn’t I dare!”

As he spoke, Lu Yinlong appeared behind Wu Qingce and caught Yu Zhengyang’s right hand. The surging aura of two mystic emperor collided, but it did not overturn them and their houses as the surrounding disciples had imagined. It was evident that both of them had reached the peak of their control over their mystic energy.

Seeing that his right hand was being grabbed, Yu Zhengyang glared at Lu Yinlong and said, “You’re courting death!”

Lu Yinlong smiled disdainfully and said, “Then let’s see if you have the ability to do so.”

Seeing the two mystic emperors smiling crazily at the same time, the surrounding disciples suddenly felt a majestic mystic energy surging toward them. “No way… are these two Sect Masters really going to fight?”

“Look! Even the color of the sky has changed!”

“What are you looking at? Run!”

Seriously! If the two mystic emperors really fought, even if they were only slightly affected, they would probably be turned into ashes.

However, just as one of the spectating disciples was about to retreat, a breeze suddenly blew from the west. It immediately eased everyone’s nervous mood, including the two mystic emperors.

“Brothers, let’s talk things out nicely. There’s no need to make such a big fuss.”

A man dressed in navy blue descended from the sky. As soon as he made his move, he dispelled the majestic mystic energy attracted by the two mystic emperors.

Lu Yinlong and Yu Zhengyang released their hands at the same time when they saw the man. They turned around and bowed. “Greetings, Sect Master Guan.”

“Am I do not treat you well enough and caused you two to be in a bad mood for these two days?”

Lu Yinlong and Yu Zhengyang cupped their hands and said, “Sect Master Guan, it’s just a small conflict.”

“Since it’s a small conflict, let’s sit down and have a chat. Let’s go. I just opened a jar of good wine, so you can come and drink with me.” “In that case, we’ll do as you say. Thank you, Sect Master Guan.”

“Hahahaha, there’s no need to be so polite, my two younger brothers. Come, this way please.”

“I don’t dare. Sect Master Guan, please go first.”

“There’s no need to be so formal. We are all guests here. Guests should follow the host. Please go ahead.” Seeing that the two Sect Masters still did not move, Sect Master Guan laughed loudly and said, “Hahaha, good. Since the two of you are so polite, then I will go ahead first.”

After saying this, the three of them walked in the direction of the garden’s exit at the same time.

After the three figures completely disappeared, there were still quite a number of disciples who did not come back to their senses. They stood there in a daze, as if what had just happened was an illusion.

A man resolved the conflict between the two mystic emperors. In the entire Fengzhou by just chatting, there was only one person who could do such a thing. That was the current Sect Master of the Sect of Masked Moon, the number one expert of the Fengzhou who had just broken through to the mystic master, Guan Shi’an.

This outcome was completely unsurprising to Jiang Beiran. Would the two mystic emperor level Sect Masters really fight in the Sect of Masked Moon? Obviously not. They knew that as long as they erupted their mystic energy, Sect Master Guan would definitely show himself.

In any case, it was impossible for them to fight. Naturally, they could not lose in terms of imposing manner. They could just pretend and be done with it.

“The system didn’t give me any option. Looks like I can leave the matter of Sect of Masked Moon for the time being.’

After obtaining the result he wanted, Jiang Beiran, who didn’t have any more exciting things to watch, quietly left.

In the next two days, just as Jiang Beiran had expected, the disciples of the various sects who lived in the same park continued to have conflicts. In the end, it escalated to a confrontation between Sect Masters, but in the end, they were all invited by Sect Master Guan to drink tea, in the midst of chatting and laughing, the conflicts vanished into thin air.

On the side of the Sect of Returning Hearts, after listening to the whole story of the conflict with the Sect of True Martial, Wu Qingce’s reputation among the elite disciples soared. At the same time, Lu Yilong also publicly praised Wu Qingce and said that he would reward him well afterward. He encouraged the other disciples to follow Wu Qingce’s example and work hard.

“Brother Jiang, the ones who came to look for the Sect Master yesterday were the Infinite House, the Lock Heart Pavilion, and Sky Crane Sect.”

Wu Qingce reported to Jiang Beiran behind a rockery. “What did they say?”

Wu Qingce immediately repeated the conversation between the Sect Master and Lu Yinlong.

“After the meal, the House Master of the Infinite House said to the Sect Master.” Wu Qingce cleared his throat, after making his voice more shrill, he said, “Sect Master Lu, I have a young girl who is 16 years old. I see that the disciple beside you is handsome and full of heroic spirit. He has already reached the great mystic practitioner realm at a young age and has a bright future. If he is still unmarried, I want him to meet my little girl. What do you think?”

Just as Wu Qingce was about to change his voice to Lu Yinlong’s, Jiang Beiran said with a smile, “Not bad. Someone has come to propose marriage. I remember that the House Master of Infinite House is also a level five mystic king He is a well-known force in the area. To be chosen by such an expert means that you have performed well in the past few days.”

“Hehe… not too bad. I didn’t perform too well either. Just… Ouch!”

Wu Qingce was feeling smug for a while when he felt a knock on his forehead.

Holding his forehead, Wu Qingce said aggrievedly, “Brother Jiang, you’re doing an entrapment.”

“You only remember these terms. Tell me, why do you think I hit you?”

Wu Qingce thought for a while and answered, “Because I was a little too complacent… I can only achieve this because of you…”

“Wrong, I’ll give you another chance.”

“I…” Wu Qingce thought for a long time, but he couldn’t figure it out. “Sigh…” Jiang Beiran slapped his forehead and thought, “Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. You’re the one who take him in.”

“Brother Jiang… you’d better hit me,” Wu Qingce said carefully. He shook his head, Jiang Beiran sighed and said, “It’s been three days! You’ve been reporting to me for three days! Yes, you can imitate those sect masters’ tone, but can’t you spend your mind on how to simplify the content? Or refine the deep meaning in the dialogue of these Sect Masters?”

“Brother Jiang, you said that I should memorize every word and action of them…”

After knocking his forehead twice, Jiang Beiran asked again, “Didn’t you think of improving yourself and giving me a surprise?”

“Yes! I’ll remember it! Next time, I won’t let you down again.”

Looking at Wu Qingce’s serious look, Jiang Beiran patted his shoulder and said, “Now that the Sect Master has more and more respect for you, it’s very likely that he will take you to more places in the future. I can’t follow you every time. You have to learn to observe your own words and expressions, understand?”

“But you taught me not to speak and pretend to be an expert. It still quite useful”

“Even if it’s useful, it can’t be used forever! One day, Sect Master will ask you to express your opinions on some important matters. When that time comes, you won’t speak either?”

“Yes, I understand!”

“In short, you…” halfway through his words, Jiang Beiran’s ears suddenly moved, and he changed his words, “Someone is coming. You go to the Sect Master first. Remember what I

said.”

“Yes! Then I’ll go first. Please rest assured, Brother Jiang I’ll definitely give you a surprise when I come back tonight!”

Looking at Wu Qingce’s figure leaving, Jiang Beiran sighed in his heart again. “What the hell is there to be surprised about…”
