I Just Won’t Play By The Book

816: Good News 816: Good News “Master, please accept me.

I will definitely follow the rules.”Seeing that Master was willing to talk to her, Shi Yutong stepped up her attack and said,

Without waiting for Jiang Beiran’s reply, the system’s options popped up.

[Option 1:”I said I won’t take in any disciples.”[Completion Reward: Yanlin Demon Manual (Earth Grade Middle Rank)]

[Option 2: Take out a turtle shell and tell Shi Yutong to take her in as a disciple the day she can use this to figure out where she is.

[Completion Reward: Random Basic Attribute Point +1]

“This routine is a little familiar.”

This was just like how he had given the five golden flowers the chance to become the number one disciple of the Returning Heart Sect.

Alright, it was an almost impossible mission.

If they focused on how to become stronger, they would not always come looking for him.

In other words, rejecting Shi Yutong would only make her more excited and think of more ways to become her disciple.

He might as well set an impossible goal for her, which would indirectly put an end to her thoughts.

“That’s high!”

After choosing the second option, Jiang Beiran took out a turtle shell from his Cosmos Ring and handed it to Shi Yutong, saying,””Since you are so sincere, I will give you a chance.

Do you know what this is?”

Hearing that Master had finally relaxed, Shi Yutong said happily,”I know, turtle shell divination.”

“Divination is a skill that requires a lot of talent.

If you don’t have talent in this area, then it’s meaningless to acknowledge me as your master.

Therefore, if you want to become my disciple, you must first pass my test.”

Shi Yutong was never afraid of tests in her life, so she answered without hesitation,””I wonder what kind of test Grandmaster is going to give me?”

After showing the back of the turtle shell to Shi Yutong, Jiang Beiran asked,””Do you know why we use turtle shells for divination?”

Shi Yutong had obviously studied fortune-telling before, so she answered confidently,””There are three squares in the middle of the turtle pattern, representing Heaven, Earth, and Man.

There are twenty-four squares next to it, representing the twenty-four solar terms.

Finally, there are twelve squares at the bottom, representing the twelve earthly branches.”

Shi Yutong extended three fingers and continued,””All the characteristics add up to correspond to the scattered three talents of the Eight Trigrams.

Master, am I right?”

“That’s right.

This is the divination of the tortoise shell.”Jiang Beiran shook the turtle shell in his hand as he spoke, gesturing for Shi Yutong to take it.

When Shi Yutong took the turtle shell, Jiang Beiran said,””My test for you is that if you can use this turtle shell to calculate where I am, I will take you in as my disciple.”

[Mission completed.

Reward: Charm +1]

” F * ck!

This is crazy handsome!

Seeing his Charm increase by a little, Jiang Beiran felt his balls ache.

Seeing this new attribute point ” chasing after ” the first four basic attributes, Jiang Beiran felt his liver trembling.

If it continued to grow like this, who knew what kind of demons and ghosts it would attract in the future.

After flipping the turtle shell over and over again, Shi Yutong looked up at Jiang Beiran and said,””Alright, I will definitely complete this test.”

Shi Yutong’s reaction surprised Jiang Beiran a little.

He had thought that Shi Yutong would ask him to teach him how to use the turtle shell for divination, but she had no intention of asking.

He didn’t know if she had already mastered turtle shell divination, or if she was treating this as part of the test.

Regardless, Shi Yutong fulfilled the first requirement of Jiang Beiran’s initiative to take her in as a disciple.

Self-sufficient.

For the mission given by his master, he only had four words: ” I guarantee to complete it.”

As for the difficult parts of the mission, he had to rely on himself to solve them.

This was a perfect subordinate.

“Alright, I look forward to that day.”Jiang Beiran walked around Shi Yutong and continued walking forward.

Looking at the back of the master, Shi Yutong shook the turtle shell in her hand, listening to the muffled sound of the copper coins colliding inside and smiled.

” An expert is indeed an expert.

The trials given are all so different.

I like them so much!’

..

After bidding farewell to Shi Yutong, Jiang Beiran first went to the entrance of the Sage Mansion to fetch Liu Weining, who had been staying there.

Then, he brought her back to Linglong Lane.

Now that his main objective had been accomplished, he could spend the rest of the time catching up.

Arriving at Taiyi Hall, Jiang Beiran said to Liu Weining,””Stay on the first floor and play by yourself.”

Liu Weining, who was rubbing against the jade, nodded and said,”Alright, alright.”

Nodding, Jiang Beiran went straight to the second floor and saw Lu Yangyu sitting cross-legged on the armchair.

Jiang Beiran didn’t stand on ceremony.

He sat down on the chair beside Lu Yangyu and said,””What is Curator Lu thinking about?”

Lu Yangyu smiled and replied,””I was thinking that young girls nowadays are really nice.”

“..”

Of course, Jiang Beiran knew that Lu Yangyu was referring to the pair of maids who had supported him on his left and right this morning.

However, when he thought about how such a small matter had made Lu Yangyu reminisce about it until now, he could not help but sigh.

” The happiness of an old pervert is so simple.’

He took out a jar of spring jade from his Cosmos Ring and placed it on the table.

Jiang Beiran lifted the wine lid and said,””I just took it out of the cellar.

Try it?”

The moment he smelled the alcohol, Lu Yangyu lost his composure.

He put down his feet and leaned forward.”My brother really understands me.

I’ve been so hungry these days.”

“Didn’t I already teach you the method of retorting?

Why, you still can’t brew strong liquor?”

“Hai, don’t mention it.” Lu Yangyu waved his hand.” It’s strong, but it’s not as good as your wine.

However, I’ve been studying it recently.

I should be able to brew a good one soon.

Of course, it’s not as good as yours.””
