Mo Xia, who was about to place his piece, trembled when he heard a sudden scream from outside the door. Thinking that his senior brother had might have sothing to do with the scream, he hurriedly ran to open the door and looked outside.
“Wow…”
Mo Xia saw five fairy-like senior sisters standing in a row with their heads lowered in front of Brother Jiang, as if they were being scolded. After recalling his mory carefully, Mo Xia rembered that these five senior sisters often ca to the Order of Blue Heart. Every ti they ca to the Go playing pavilion, there would be many senior brothers who did not even play Go squeezing into the pavilion. When that happened, he could not find a seat at all. Therefore, he had quite a deep impression of these five beautiful senior sisters.
Just as Mo Xia was about to see what was going on again, Jiang Beiran suddenly turned his head and gave him a sharp look.
“Go back.”
“Yes!”
Mo Xia quickly closed the door and sat in front of the Go board, trying to figure out how to play the ga later. After sending Mo Xia back to the room with his eyes, Jiang Beiran looked at Liu Zijin and the others again and said, “Am I not clear enough with you guys?”
As he spoke, Jiang Beiran stared at Liu Zijin because he knew that Liu Zijin was the backbone of these five people.
With just a glance, Jiang Beiran noticed that Liu Zijin’s body was slightly trembling. She seed to be unable to stand steadily, and even her breathing had beco rapid.
“Eh? I haven’t even used my mind to suppress her, but her aura is already so strong? It seems that my staring power beco stronger.”
NS
At this ti, Liu Zijin was indeed unable to stand properly. Ever since she returned to the sect after resolving the incident in Jifu Village, this was the first ti she had spoken to her senior brother face to face.
In the past three months, whenever others praised her, the first thing that ca to her mind was her senior brother’s cold gaze and harsh words. This was also the reason why she couldn’t forget him.
Now, she finally heard the voice that had been echoing in her mind for three months. The tone was just right, and there was also a hint of annoyance and disdain.
“This is the Brother Jiang that I want to see…”
For a mont, Liu Zijin felt that her body was electrified. She could only remain silent because she was afraid that she would make a strange sound the mont she opened her mouth.
Jiang Beiran saw that Liu Zijin was so afraid to speak, so he turned to look at the three Yu sisters and said, “I’ve already told you guys not to forget the rules, right?”
Yu Guishui was about to speak, but Fang Qiuyao intercepted her, “Brother Jiang! We ca here because I want to see you!”
After saying that, Fang Qiuyao, who felt that her words were inappropriate, blushed and said, “I don’t want to see you… I… I…”
“Say it! Just say thank you!” Fang Qiuyao roared in her heart.
However, the words were right on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn’t say it no matter how hard she tried.
Seeing that Fang Qiuyao could not say anything, Jiang Beiran was thinking about how to scare them away when he saw three options jumped out.
[ Option 1: Scold Liu Zijin and the others. Reward for completion: Sea Burial Sword Book (middle tier black grade)]
[ Option 2: Chase Liu Zijin and the others away. Reward for completion: Tianzhu Sword (high tier yellow grade)]
[ Option 3: Set a high enough goal for Liu Zijin and the others. Reward for completion: Random basic attribute points 1]
“What’s that?”
Jiang Beiran understood that it would be very difficult to shake off these five junior sisters from the first two options. However, it seed that their danger level had decreased a little. The last ti when he brought them down the mountain, they triggered earth grade options with just a few sentences. Now, it had already been reduced to black grade.
However, what puzzled Jiang Beiran was what the option 3 ant.
“Setting a goal. Is it telling to give them a quest?”
After thinking for a mont, Jiang Beiran suddenly understood the aning of this option. Why could these five golden flowers still have the energy to tornt him after three months?
They clearly had nothing to do!
He could just find sothing for them to do and exhaust their energy.
Jiang Beiran felt that the system was still the wiser. He felt that he was safe.
Thus, he coughed lightly and said to Fang Qiuyao, who was still stamring, “You stand back first.”
Fang Qiuyao replied with an “en” and stood back dejectedly.
Then, Jiang Beiran looked at the three Yu sisters, who might still be able to speak properly, and said, “Tell , why did you co to find ?”
Seeing that Fang Qiuyao did not manage to speak, Yu Guishui thought for a mont and replied, “Actually, we have always wanted you to be our iron seal again. We want…”
Without waiting for Yu Guishui to finish, Jiang Beiran interrupted her. “Do you know why I left behind the rules?”
Liu Zijin and the others looked at each other and replied, “We don’t know.”
“I’m worried that you guys will be too dependent on !”
Hearing their senior brother’s serious answer, the five sisters suddenly realized sothing.
Seeing that the five of them were fooled by him, Jiang Beiran looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and said, “Three years ago, I t a team of new disciples like you guys. Because I was already very experienced as an iron seal at that ti, I easily led them to complete the target of the trial.”
Speaking up to this point, Jiang Beiran revealed a regret look while he imrsed in his mories. Coupled with a shake of his head and a sigh, he fully aroused the emotions of Liu Zijin and the others before continuing.
“Because the first trial went very smoothly, they ca to look for to be the iron seal again. I agreed to them, and they passed the trial successfully once again. Then, the third ti, the fourth ti…” “Then one day, because they could always complete their mission perfectly, the higher-ups in the hall gave them a quest, asking them to eradicate a newly rising demonic cult organization.”
CU
Speaking of this, Jiang Beiran sighed again.
“Brother Jiang…” Fang Qiuyao, who had already completely imrsed herself in the drama, called out in a low voice.
Waving his hand at her, Jiang Beiran continued, “Because the previous trials went too smoothly, it caused them to misjudge their own strength. In the end, all five of them died in that quest.”
“Ah!” Liu Zijin and the others covered their mouths and cried out in surprise. Although they had thought that this was a sad story, they did not expect it to be so tragic. “From that ti on, I vowed never to bring the sa batch of disciples to carry out two trial missions. In order to prevent them from becoming dependent on , I set the rules.” After saying that, Jiang Beiran glanced at Liu Zijin and the others and asked, “Do you understand?”
“Yes, yes, yes!” The five sisters nodded vigorously.
They nodded in relief, Jiang Beiran said again, “I have the sa thoughts about you guys. I hope that you guys can quickly beco independent and beco the elites of the sect. You can’t always rely on others when you encounter difficulties. Do you understand?”
“Yes, yes, yes!” The five sisters nodded again.
“Actually, I don’t usually say so much, but I feel that you guys don’t seem to understand these principles.”
“I’m sorry… Brother Jiang.” The five sisters lowered their heads in sha.
“If you really feel sorry for , then promise one thing.”
“Brother Jiang, please say it!” Liu Zijin and the five sisters cupped their hands and said very seriously.
“I hope that you all can beco the most outstanding disciples of the Order of Water Mirror!”
“Yes!” The five sisters said in unison.
“Eh!? Why didn’t you give the reward? Isn’t this goal high enough!? Do you know they are just the rookies of Order of Water Mirror?”
Jiang Beiran mocked the system in his heart, but he could only continue, “Don’t be in a hurry to answer. Becoming the most outstanding disciple of the Order of Water Mirror is just the beginning. I wanted all of you to beco the most outstanding disciples of the entire Sect of Returning Hearts.”
“This…” The five of them were sowhat hesitant. They didn’t know if they could achieve Brother Jiang’s wish.
At this mont, Fang Qiuyao suddenly raised her head and looked at Jiang Beiran with a determined gaze. “Brother Jiang, if we can do it, would you let go of the past and bring us down the mountain?”
“With Qingce around, none of you have the chance. It’s impossible!” Jiang Beiran thought smugly.
Then, he nodded and said, “Yes.”
When the five of them heard this, they imdiately cupped their hands in surprise and said, “We will definitely not let you down!”
[ Chosen quest completed. Reward: Physique
1)
When he saw the system notification, Jiang Beiran imdiately felt relieved. Then, he said to the five of them, “Becoming the number one disciples of the Sect of Returning Hearts is not an easy thing. You guys have to work hard from now on.”
“Yes! Let’s go and cultivate now!” After saying that, the five sisters bowed to Jiang Beiran together, then turned around and ran away.
“Hu…”
Seeing the five sisters leave together, Jiang Beiran heaved a sigh of relief. Thinking about how they would work hard to cultivate because of his encouragent today, Jiang Beiran couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
“I’m really an outstanding senior brother.”
Jiang Beiran nodded his head and turned around to return to his room to continue playing Go.
At the nightti, just as Mo Xia was thinking hard about his next move, Jiang Beiran suddenly sensed Wu Qingce’s mystic energy outside the window. He said to Mo Xia, “It’s ti to go out for a walk. You should think about this step carefully.”
Mo Xia nodded after listening to him. Although he really hoped that Jiang Beiran would co back soon, he knew that if he said the words “Brother Jiang, co back soon”, it would make Jiang Beiran unhappy. After walking out of the guest house and arriving at a quiet place, Jiang Beiran said to Wu Qingce, “What’s the matter?” “Brother Jiang…” Wu Qingce actually wanted to ask about the incident that happened a few days ago. Jiang Beiran did not ntion his condition, so Qu Qingce did not dare to ask either. After thinking for a long ti, he still asked, “Brother Jiang, how is your recovery?”
“Oh!” Wu Qingce covered his forehead and cried out in pain. However, he knew that he couldn’t shout too loudly, so he swallowed his voice.
“You called out just to ask this boring question?”
Looking at his senior brother’s sharp eyes, Wu Qingce quickly shook his head and said, “No! This ti, I’m looking for you… to discuss with you how I can defeat Mu Jiuri tomorrow.”
