I Just Won't Play By The Book

When Lin Yuyan was at cloud nine, Jiang Beiran was having a headache. He was conflicted about whether he should go to the Order of Water Mirror today or not.

While he was conflicted, Jiang Beiran completed his daily “mountain patrol”. However, he did not have many points today. He only had 5 points.

“It’s getting harder to earn point from the sect.”

While he was thinking about whether he should go to Boundless Peak for a stroll tomorrow, Jiang Beiran noticed a familiar figure standing at the door of his hut.

With a rather complicated feeling, Jiang Beiran walked up to Yu Manwen and bowed, “Greetings, Law Protector Yu.”

Seeing that Jiang Beiran actually took the initiative to come over and greet her, Yu Manwen felt touched.

Yu Manwen nodded and replied, “Order Master Shi saw that you were late, so she asked me to look for you.”

Jiang Beiran had thought that after yesterday’s awkwardness, Order Master Shi would need to calm down for a few days, but now it seemed that he was worrying too much.

“It’s been hard on you, Law Protector Yu.”

“He really didn’t ask anything at all.” Looking at Jiang Beiran’s expected behavior, Yu Manwen suddenly felt that his personality was quite good at times.

Therefore, without further ado, Yu Manwen quickly brought Jiang Beiran to the Tinglan Waterside Pavilion where Shi Fenglan lived.

Under the lead of the maid, Jiang Beiran and the others quickly saw Shi Fenglan, who was drawing in a corner of the flower bed.

Hearing the footsteps, Shi Fenglan stopped her brush, put down the purple sand color palette in her hand, and looked at Jiang Beiran. “Little Beiran, why didn’t you bring Yu Ling Long back yesterday?”

Jiang Beiran thought that she must have blacked out and forgot everything happened yesterday. But after thinking it thoroughly, he realized that he was wrong, because Shi Fenglan would find that the ‘tattoo’ on her arm was gone right after she woke up.

“Hmm, it seems that everyone is planning to keep what happened yesterday a secret… very good, I like it.” Jiang Beiran thought.

Therefore, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands and said, “I was drunk yesterday, so I don’t remember anything that happened after that.”

“Haha, I told you that I’m very good at drinking game. How about it? Do you want to…” Shi Fenglan was only halfway through her sentence when she felt Yu Manwen’s sharp gaze on her.

“Wu…”

Shi Fenglan lowered her voice and continued, “According to Law Protector Yu, I was the one who got drunk first, so you can take Yu Ling Long away.” “Thank you, Order Master.”

“Also, don’t forget to take care of the plants for

me.”

“I will remember that.”

Seeing that Shi Fenglan didn’t seem to care about what happened yesterday, Jiang Beiran heaved a sigh of relief. After all, he really wanted the seeds of the flowers.

“Okay, then you go and take care of them now. I have to finish the painting.”

“As you wish.”

After saying that, Jiang Beiran turned around and walked towards the center of the parterre while Yu Manwen quietly followed behind him.

When Jiang Beiran started to trim the fourth pot of green plants, Yu Manwen finally could not help but say, “Are you really not curious at all about what happened after you left yesterday?” “Yes, I don’t.” Jiang Beiran answered very straightforwardly.

“You’re really…” Yu Manwen sighed and shook her head. “I don’t know whether to say that you’re shrewd or that you have no desires.”

“I’m just afraid of death.”

“Pfft…” hearing Jiang Beiran’s straightforward words, Yu Manwen could not help but laugh out loud.

“Cough.” With a light cough, Yu Manwen, who had regained her composure, took a small stool and sat beside Jiang Beiran. She asked, “Is the Sect of Returning Hearts so dangerous in your

eyes?”

“No.” Jiang Beiran shook his head. “I think that the entire continent is very dangerous.”

“What you said… is true. The sect ordered the disciples to go down the mountain and set up the iron seal every month is to raise the awareness of all the disciples, but you also…” Yu Manwen thought for a while and did not finish her sentence. Instead, she changed the topic and said, “Zijin and the others are my favorite new disciples in this batch. It’s just that they are too naive, so I have always been worried about their trial, but I didn’t expect that she would actually dig you out. I think this can be considered fate.”

“No, definitely not.”

Seeing how decisive Jiang Beiran’s answer was, Yu Manwen could not help but feel a little helpless. She changed the topic and said, “But didn’t you say last time that you have comprehended a new Go move and are going for a retreat?”

“Huh?” Jiang Beiran looked at Yu Manwen with some doubt. “Didn’t you ask me if I was going for a retreat to avoid you? I answered yes.”

“I can’t really speak with this guy!” Yu Manwen suddenly stood up and kicked over the small stool.

Seeing Yu Manwen’s chest rise and fall in anger, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands and said, “Law Protector Yu, please calm down. If I said something wrong, I would apologize to you.”

“No, you are not wrong. Everything you said is the truth.” Yu Manwen seemed to have convinced herself. Her breathing suddenly became much smoother.

Just as she was about to sit down again, Yu Manwen suddenly turned her head and found Shi Fenglan walking over.

“Order Master, What’s the matter?” Yu Manwen asked.

Shi Fenglan shook her head and said, “Nothing, but why haven’t you left yet, Manwen? I remember that you’re in charge of the hall patrolling today, right?”

“I’ve asked Law Protector Sun to take care of it, so I’ll be staying here today.”

“Ah…?”

As soon as Yu Manwen finished speaking, Shi Fenglan and Jiang Beiran spoke at the same time, and their voices were obviously filled with disdain.

This made Yu Manwen so angry that she bit her lips tightly, and even her body began to tremble.

Seeing this, Jiang Beiran and Shi Fenglan knew that they must not provoke her anymore, so they turned their heads and continued to do their own things.

After a while, Jiang Beiran, who was fertilizing a pot of radish, suddenly heard a voice.

“Beiran, think of a way to persuade Manwen to leave. Let’s continue playing the drinking game.” Looking at Shi Fenglan, who was giving him a meaningful look not far away, Jiang Beiran spread out his hands to show that he was powerless.

“Huh? You still don’t know how to do voice transmission?” Shi Fenglan asked.

Jiang Beiran nodded.

“Okay, then just listen to me. I’ll teach you how to…”

Halfway through Shi Fenglan’s telepathic messages, Jiang Beiran stood up and cupped his hands to Yu Manwen. “Law Protector Yu, Order Master Shi wants to play with me again. I hope you won’t interfere.” “Huh?!”

Yu Manwen and Shi Fenglan were stunned at the same time. They didn’t expect Jiang Beiran to do this.

However, Yu Manwen quickly reacted and ran to Shi Fenglan angrily. “Order Master, have you forgotten our three rules?”

“I didn’t… it was Jiang Beiran who spouted nonsense. I really didn’t…”

“Order Master!”

“Alright… I was wrong.”

Listening to their conversation, Jiang Beiran did not know which of them was the real Order Master of the Order of Water Mirror anymore. Both of them were equally troublesome.

“Sigh, all the troubles just for some seeds…” Jiang Beiran sighed in his heart.
