I Just Won’t Play by the Book

Chapter 539: Chapter 335

In the dining room, Xiang ‘er, who had just returned, searched for Jiang Beiran but could not find him.

‘What’s going on…’

Xiang ‘er was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, Jiang Beiran was unfamiliar with the place, so he shouldn’t be running around. She had clearly told him to stay here, so why was he still nowhere to be seen?

Did something happen?

However, based on the conversation just now, Xiang ‘er could sense that Jiang Beiran was different from the average disciple or junior. As for what the difference was…

It should be very difficult to bring him into his own rhythm.

‘As expected of the young man who made the clan saint look at him in a different light. He’s indeed different from the others…’ Xiang ‘er thought with emotion.

She had wanted to have an in-depth chat with Jiang Beiran several times earlier, but the latter had been so insistent.

‘I don’t know if he saw through my thoughts or if he’s used to it…However, it was indeed an excellent resource worth using.’

With a ghostly smile, Xiang ‘er slowly walked out of the dining room and began to search for the missing Jiang Beiran.

On the other side, Jiang Beiran, who had left with Shi Fenglan, came to a valley where flowers bloomed. Jiang Beiran could not even recognize the names of many of them.

Seeing Little Bei Ran looking around, Shi Fenglan turned around and walked backward while introducing, ‘”‘This is the Ten Thousand Flower Valley. There are really ten thousand kinds of flowers here.”

“Ten thousand?”

Jiang Beiran was a little surprised. The name Hundred Flowers Valley was just an exaggeration.

Her family was honest. If she said she had 10,000 flowers, then she had 10,000 flowers.

‘But in this world…There are actually 10,000 types of flowers?

Jiang Beiran’s interest was immediately piqued. He could be considered a master in the field of flower cultivation. Now that he had seen so many species that he had never seen before, he could not help but feel a little tempted. After all, who knew which pot of flowers among them might have the potential to become magical equipment materials?

“Little Bei Ran, Little Bei Ran, come and take a look.”

As they walked, Shi Fenglan suddenly squatted by the roadside and waved at Jiang Beiran.

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Beiran walked over and asked.

Pointing at a flower that was shining with a faint purple glow, Shi Fenglan said happily,””Look, I saw it blooming the last time I left. This time, I came back just in time for it to bloom. Isn’t it beautiful?”

Looking at Shi Fenglan’s excited expression, Jiang Beiran suddenly looked up into the distance and asked,””Hall Master Shi, is this your residence?”

“Sigh…” Shi Fenglan was stunned.” How did you know?””

Jiang Beiran had known that Shi Fenglan liked flowers from the very beginning. Or rather, it was precisely because she liked flowers that he knew her.

Her Tinglan Waterside Pavilion was filled with all kinds of rare flowers, so there was no reason for her house to not have any. Therefore, it was very reasonable for her to live in this Ten Thousand Flower Valley.

“Just a random guess.”

Standing up, Shi Fenglan tidied up her little skirt and raised her head proudly. “”That’s right, this is my house. Isn’t it beautiful?”

“It’s indeed not bad, but why did you bring me to your house?”

“Aren’t you looking for a place to stay? There are many empty rooms in the valley. You can choose one at will.”

Jiang Beiran was about to refuse when he heard that. However, he thought about it again. Although staying at Shi Fenglan’s place might be risky, it would be dangerous for him to stay anywhere in the Shi family’s courtyard.

It was also dangerous, but Shi Fenglan was still a dangerous factor under his control. She was much stronger than those outside.

After some thought, Jiang Beiran nodded and said,””Alright, I quite like it here.”

Shi Fenglan was surprised to hear Little Bei Ran agree to her request. She had initially planned to lure Little Bei Ran into her house first, and then use the ten sets of excuses she had prepared to persuade her in turn.

However, she did not expect Little Bei Ran to agree before she even used the first set.

‘Something’s wrong. This isn’t the usual Little Bei Ran.’

But regardless of whether it was right or wrong, she had alreadv achieved her

goal. Shi Fenglan said happily,””Then let’s go. I’ll bring you to a place you’re satisfied with. I don’t only have flowers here.”

Following Shi Fenglan into the Ten Thousand Flower Valley, Jiang Beiran soon realized that she seemed to be the only one living in the huge Ten Thousand Flower Valley. There wasn’t even a servan t.

‘Is it because of the evil beast…

Shi Hongfang’s words were somewhat ambiguous. He only said that Gu Liangren had predicted that as long as Shi Fenglan went to the Returning Heart Sect, the E Sha would be removed when the time was right.

But now, they had clearly not waited for the so-called opportunity to arrive, but the evil spirit on Shi Fenglan’s body had already disappeared.

‘Is she alright now, or is she still entangled by E Sha?’

“Schrodinger’s Shi Fenglan?”

At the thought of Gu Liangren, Jiang Beiran couldn’t help but want to meet him again. Even if he couldn’t learn anything from him, it would be good to exchange some insights.

“Little Bei Ran, how is this place?”

Shi Fenglan asked Jiang Beiran with an expectant look on her face when they arrived at a small house surrounded by cobblestones.

“That’s good. I’ll stay here then.” Jiang Beiran nodded and walked inside.

However, Shi Fenglan quickly stopped him and said,””Aiya! Wait a minute! You haven’t seen the other rooms yet.”

“No need, this is good.” After saying that, Jiang Beiran walked straight ahead.

Just as he was about to enter the house, he suddenly felt a sharp sensation on his back, but it quickly disappeared. At the same time, three options suddenly appeared.
