I Just Won't Play By The Book



"Good! Since the Emperor is so straightforward, then my Yu Clan will make a statement first. My Pan Ning Town will definitely respond to the new policies issued by the Emperor and guarantee to complete the basic construction written in the Emperor's Three Year Plan within half a year."

The leader, Yu Kangan, expressed his stance. The clan leaders sitting on his side also responded one after another, indicating that they would actively respond.

Soon, all the clan leaders in the meeting hall expressed their stance.

"Very good, I believe that you will be able to do a good job. It is getting late and I have already arranged for a banquet to be prepared in the Qing Yun Hall."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The clan leaders cupped their hands together.

Jiang Beiran nodded at the clan leaders and left the meeting hall with Muyao and Deng Xianghan.

It was only after Jiang Beiran had walked far away that the originally quiet meeting hall slowly became noisy.

'This new emperor is really powerful. No wonder the sect leader was willing to write a letter personally and call us all over on his behalf.'

"Isn't that so? I've never heard of the new policies he wrote. Since ancient times, I've never seen an emperor dare to make such drastic changes."

"And I think this is just the beginning. The main event is still to come."

"This Feng Province…I'm afraid the world is going to change."

..

Once the meeting ended, Jiang Beiran did not intend to keep the clan leaders for long. The next day, he announced that he would be returning to the palace.

The clan leaders naturally understood that the emperor meant that they should return, so after respectfully sending off the emperor, they began to pack up and prepare to return.

In the guest room, Liu Sicun, who was sipping tea, said to his wife,"This new emperor is really amazing. Sect Master Lu is really wise to choose such a disciple to be the emperor."

When they heard their father talking about their senior brother, Liu Zijin and Liu Qinghan pricked up their ears.

I've been the clan leader for so many years, but I've never heard of such methods. No, even if you flip through the history books, you definitely won't be able to find a second emperor like him.""Zijin, wasn't Jiang Beiran also an outstanding figure in your sect?"

Liu Zijin was shocked when she was suddenly pointed out. Then, she shook her head and said,""I'm not too sure about the skill."

"Not sure?" Liu Sicun asked in surprise," Could it be that he was originally unknown in the Returning Heart Sect?"

"Your daughter is devoted to cultivation and doesn't care much about others. However, among the few famous disciples in the sect, Jiang Beiran's name is indeed not there."

"That is really strange…" Liu Sicun shook his head strangely and looked at Liu Qinghan."Qinghan, you were a few years older than Zijin. Have you heard of the name Jiang Beiran?"

"No, I haven't." Liu Qinghan also shook her head." If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have known that there was such a person in the sect.""

"Hiss…" Liu Sicun furrowed his brows." That's really strange. Logically speaking, such a person with foresight would not be unknown even if his cultivation was not good. Could it be that your sect master has hidden him?"

"I don't know about that." Liu Zijin and Liu Qinghan shook their heads at the same time.

Looking at their daughters, Liu Sicun shook his head and said,""You guys, don't bury your heads in bitter cultivation. It won't be wrong to get to know more of the young geniuses in the sect. You have to make friends with people like Jiang Beiran if you can. The Mystic World isn't just about fighting and killing."

"Got it, Daddy." The two daughters replied at the same time.

At the same time, Liu Zijin sighed in her heart and thought,'I do want to befriend him, but he…However, this was also quite good.'

In the east courtyard, Fang Nianbai, the head of the Fang family, had just gotten a blank answer from Fang Qiuyao. He sighed and said,"Young Master Xun came to our house again in the first half of the month. He said..."

"Father! I already said I don't want to see him!" Fang Qiuyao shouted.

"Father did not say that you must marry him. Father only said that you can understand each other first…"

"I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen! I just don't want to see him!" Fang Qiuyao covered her ears and shook her head.

"Nonsense!" Fang Nianbai shouted," You can reject Young Master Xun, but you can't be so rude."

"Aren't you just afraid of the Xun family…"

"What did you say?" Fang Nianbai shouted.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I know, but I just want to cultivate properly now. When I become a mystic spirit…No, it wasn't too late to talk about matters between men and women after Xuan King."

"Yaoyao, I don't have the intention of sacrificing your happiness in exchange for the family's interests. It's just that the Xun family is too special. Even if you really want to reject them, you have to say it nicely. Don't make it difficult for both sides, understand?"

"I know ~ Don't worry, Father."

Although Fang Qiuyao's answer was perfunctory, seeing that her daughter didn't run away whenever she encountered something she didn't want to face or cover her ears whenever she encountered a topic she didn't want to talk about, Fang Nianbai was quite pleased." Alright, alright, alright. I, Yaoyao, have grown up and become sensible. It seems that sending you to the Returning Heart Sect was the right decision."

" Of course!" Fang Qiuyao raised her chest proudly." Don't worry, Father. I'll definitely handle this matter.""

..

"Achoo!"

Jiang Beiran, who had just sent Muyao and Deng Xianghan back to the palace, sneezed as soon as he sat down at the Dragon Table. He rubbed his nose in confusion. Logically speaking, with his current body condition, how could he catch a cold? That was impossible.

Jiang Beiran couldn't help but raise his head to look at the sky through the window.

'You're not going to mess with me again, are you?'

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Deng Xianghan asked worriedly when she heard Jiang Beiran sneeze.

"It's fine." Then, he looked at Muyao and said,"You can go out first.""

Muyao glanced at Deng Xianghan when she heard that the emperor was going to kick her out, then reluctantly replied," Yes, Your Majesty."

After Muyao left, Jiang Beiran turned to Deng Xianghan and said,""About your father…Have you told your mother and sister?"

"Yes." Deng Xianghan nodded." We built a tomb for Father and paid our respects."

"Are you very fond of Yin Jianghong?"

Hearing Jiang Beiran's sudden question, Deng Xianghan was stunned. After a while, she replied,""I... I don't hate you."

"You really don't hate me?"

Deng Xianghan sighed and replied,"When father told me about what he did, I thought that such a day might come. I believe my father also thought about it. This was a contest between my father and Cult Master Yin. If he lost, it would just be because he was inferior in skill, and there would be no hatred."

Jiang Beiran wasn't too surprised to hear Deng Xianghan's magnanimity. How should he put it? If he were Deng Bo, he would only blame himself for not being capable enough if he ended up like this.

"Have you thought about what you want to do in the future?" Jiang Beiran asked again.

"This servant has already said that I will be the emperor's slave for the rest of my life…"

"Zhen doesn't lack a horse like you. You should think about yourself."

"This servant wants to be your horse, emperor…"
