I Just Won’t Play by the Book

Chapter 538: Guess (2)

This kid was hiding his strength.

However, since the old ancestor had said that he did not have any cultivation, it meant that his cultivation was indeed at the fifth level of Qi Refinement. Therefore, his uniqueness must be in other places.

Although he had managed to get a Shenluo Body, the ancestor was clearly not satisfied.

After eating a grape fed by a beautiful woman, Shi Hongyun pondered for a moment and said, “”Little Five, do you think Jiang Beiran is a junior who was thrown out to the common people to gain experience?”

“This…” Shi Hongfang lowered his head and thought for a while.” In reply to the ancestor, the big families do have a lot of strange training methods. We can’t rule out this possibility.””

After eating another grape, Shi Hongyun said to Shi Hongfang thoughtfully,””Have you ever seen a junior who can be so calm in front of me?” “Indeed not.” Shi Hongfang answered directly.

She did not know whether she should call Jiang Beiran a big-hearted person or not. He did not know what it meant to show his fear. Not only was he not so nervous that he could not speak when facing the top powerhouses of the continent, he could even speak with confidence. Even the most beloved juniors of the clan’s ancestors would not dare to do this.

“That means that he must have met quite a number of important figures. It’s quite common for him to meet Profound Sages face to face.”

Shi Hongyun had already felt this when he was at the Wood Spiritual Vein. He knew that the Venerable of the Five Five Symbols was a Profound Sage, yet he still dared to reject her face to face. He didn’t know that he would speak up for him.

Furthermore, which cultivator wouldn’t yearn to have a Profound Sage-level master? However, this kid didn’t seem to be tempted at all. Therefore, in summary, his background was definitely not small.

Quite… It wasn’t small.

As the saying goes, a lie must be covered up with a hundred lies.

Shi Hongyun was obviously very interested in the God’s Body, a physique that he had never heard of before. He kept asking Jiang Beiran about the details of this physique.

What else could Jiang Beiran do? All he could do was ” add more settings ‘

Fortunately, he had made it sound big and empty at the beginning, so there was enough room for him to add more details.

“Yes… Your Evil Fire Array is indeed not bad, but I don’t see anything special about it.”

Hearing Shi Hongyun’s question, Jiang Beiran naturally knew what he meant.

The meaning of his words was very simple. You have set up this array very well, but I can’t see what’s special about your God’s Body.

“In response to Senior’s words, the greatest use of my Deity Body is to know the most suitable place to set up a formation, and then use it to set up a formation that is beyond my ability.”

“Oh?” Shi Hongyun nodded.” So you mean that you can draw more Celestiality than other array masters?’”‘

“Good replenishment!”

Jiang Beiran secretly applauded in his heart. He really hadn’t thought that it could be explained in such a way. Things like cultivation could be tested directly, but mystic arts couldn’t be tested directly. They could only be proven after passing a specialized examination.

Therefore, Jiang Beiran would have no problem saying that he was only a Fourth Grade Array Master.

If one’s strength was insufficient, one’s physique would make up for it.

” Very good. This will be my persona from now on.’

After praising Shi Hongyun in his heart, Jiang Beiran cupped his fists and said,””Senior is wise.”

“No wonder you were able to set up such a large array at such a young age. So that’s why…l see.”

Shi Hongyun, who had finally figured out the reason, nodded repeatedly. He finally understood what Jiang Beiran’s evildoer was.

“Xiang ‘er.”

At this moment, Shi Hongyun suddenly shouted. Then, he saw a beautiful woman in revealing clothes walking over.

The woman called Xiang ‘er bowed and said sweetly, “Sect Master, you called for me?”

Shi Hongyun pulled Xiang ‘er into his arms and kissed her, then pointed at Jiang Beiran and said,””Go and arrange a room for this kid and bring him here to familiarize himself.”

Why was it a room? How did he become familiar with her? I was planning to go back for dinner!

Jiang Beiran was about to cup his hands and say something when Shi Hongyun said,”

“I’m quite interested in your physique. You can stay here for a while.”

Shi Hongyun’s tone was obviously not to be rejected. Since the system did not allow him to jump out, Jiang Beiran did not intend to be stubborn, so he could only take the opportunity to cup his hands and say, “”Thank you, Senior.”

“You’re welcome. Judging from the things you took out from your Cosmos Ring, it seems that you’re not only good at formations.”

‘4+! The old thing wants to squeeze me dry!

Jiang Beiran cursed inwardly and replied,””lt’s just a little involved.”

As if he had not heard Jiang Beiran’s words, Shi Hongyun continued,””There are quite a few people in my clan who are proficient in mystic arts.”

“Yes!” Shi Hongfang immediately responded.

“Take this kid around, there’s no need to guard.”

Shi Hongfang was stunned when he heard this. He was naturally well aware of the weight of the words ‘no need to defend yourself.’

‘It seems like the old ancestor really thinks highly of Jiang Beiran.’

“Yes, sir.” Shi Hongfang bowed.

Retracting his gaze, Shi Hongfang pulled Xiang ‘er’s collar and said,””Xiang ‘er, I still like the Daoist outfit you gave me previously. Today’s outfit is too gaudy.”

After hearing this, Xiang ‘er twisted her body twice and said in a delicate voice, “Then Xiang ‘er will come to you with a horsetail whisk the next time she puts on her Daoist robe, alright?”

“Wonderful, wonderful. That’s naturally very good.”

Listening to their conversation, Jiang Beiran suddenly recalled that Little Seven had told him that Taoist nuns had a great market.

‘It seems that what you said is true…’

He pinched Xiang ‘er’s butt and let go of her, saying,””Lead this brat out.”

“Yes.”

After bowing to Shi Hongyun, Xiang ‘er walked to Jiang Beiran’s side and gestured for him to leave. ‘”Young Master, this way please.”

“Thank you.”

Just as Shi Hongfang was about to leave with Jiang Beiran after bowing to the old ancestor, the old ancestor suddenly shouted.

“Little Five, you stay here for now. When Xiang ‘er is done familiarizing himself with this place, you can go and find him.”

“Yes.” Shi Hongfang immediately turned around and agreed.

After Jiang Beiran was led away by Xiang ‘er, Shi Hongyun walked to Shi Hongfang with his hands behind his back and said,””There are many mysteries about this kid. Investigate him again.”

“Yes.” Shi Hongfang replied respectfully.

Since Jiang Beiran had been brought here, his background had naturally been investigated long ago.

However, no matter how much he investigated, he was just an ordinary commoner before entering the Returning Heart Sect. His parents had both died, and he had been adopted by his aunt since he was young. After that, he had been living in that village.

Of course, they could only find out from his neighbors. They didn’t know if it was just an appearance.

After entering the Returning Heart Sect for seven years, he did not display any talent. Even until today, he was only a small in-name disciple. At the peak of his life, he was only the emperor of a small border country, and he was an emperor with no real power.

Looking at his life, it could be said that he was ordinary. At most, his brain was quite good.

This was obviously not what the old ancestor had said. This kid had been hiding under the eyes of the sixteen Profound Sages for more than a year. He had such strength, but he was ordinary. There was only one result.

This kid was hiding his strength.

However, since the old ancestor had said that he did not have any cultivation, it meant that his cultivation was indeed at the fifth level of Qi Refinement. Therefore, his uniqueness must be in other places.

Although he had managed to get a Shenluo Body, the ancestor was clearly not satisfied.

After eating a grape fed by a beautiful woman, Shi Hongyun pondered for a moment and said, “‘Little Five, do you think Jiang Beiran is a junior who was thrown out to the common people to gain experience?”

“This…” Shi Hongfang lowered his head and thought for a while.” In reply to the ancestor, the big families do have a lot of strange training methods. We can’t rule out this possibility. ‘”‘

After eating another grape, Shi Hongyun said to Shi Hongfang thoughtfully,””Have you ever seen a junior who can be so calm in front of me?”

“Indeed not.” Shi Hongfang answered directly.
