Hearing a scream suddenly coming from outside the door, Mo Xia, who was just about to make his move, trembled. Thinking that his senior brother had just gone out, the scream might have something to do with him, so Mo Xia trotted all the way, opened the door and took a look outside.
'Wow……'
Mo Xia saw five fairy-like senior sisters standing in a row with their heads lowered in front of their senior brothers, as if they were being disciplined.
After carefully recalling it, Mo Xia remembered that these five senior sisters seemed to come to their Lanxintang often, and every time they came to Qixin, there would be many senior brothers who didn't usually play chess crowded into Qixuan, so he sometimes couldn't find them.
When he arrived at his seat, he was quite impressed by these five beautiful senior sisters.
Just when Mo Xia was about to see what was going on, he suddenly found that his senior brother suddenly turned his head and gave him a sharp look.
"go back."
"yes!"
Mo Xia quickly closed the door, sat down in front of the chessboard and began to study how to play later.
Driving Mo Xia back to the room with his eyes, Jiang Beiran looked at Liu Zijin and the others again and said, "Did I not tell you clearly enough?"
While speaking, Jiang Beiran stared at Liu Zijin, because he knew that Liu Zijin was the backbone of these five people.
With just one glance, Jiang Beiran noticed that Liu Zijin's body was trembling slightly, as if he could hardly stand still, and even his breathing became rapid.
'Huh? I haven't used mental pressure yet, but the pressure is so strong. It seems that if you stare at people more often, you will grow.'
At this time, Liu Zijin could hardly stand anymore. Since she returned to the sect after solving the incident in Jifu Village last time, this was the first time she had spoken face to face with her senior brother.
In the past three months, whenever others praised her, the first thing that came to her mind was her senior brother's cold eyes and emotionless words. This was the reason why she could never forget her senior brother.
Now the voice that had been echoing in her mind for three months sounded in her ears again, with just the right tone and a look that was impatient and slightly disgusting.
'This is the senior brother I want to see...'
For a moment, Liu Zijin, who felt electric all over her body, could only remain silent because she was afraid that she would make a strange sound as soon as she spoke.
Seeing that Liu Zijin was too scared to speak, Jiang Beiran turned to look at the three sisters of the Yu family and said, "I told you last time not to forget the three chapters of the agreement."
Just as Yu Guishui was about to speak, Fang Qiuyao came to Jiang Beiran first and said, "Senior brother! It's me who wants to see you!"
After saying that, Fang Qiuyao, who felt that she had used the wrong words, blushed and said, "I don't want to see you... I... I..."
‘Say it! Say thank you quickly!’ Fang Qiuyao roared in her heart.
But the words were clearly on her lips, but she couldn't say them.
Seeing that Fang Qiuyao couldn't explain why, Jiang Beiran was just thinking about how to scare them away when he saw three options popping up.
[Option 1: Continue to reprimand Liu Zijin and the others. Completion reward: Sea Burial Sword Book (Mid-level Mysterious Grade)]
[Option 2: Drive away Liu Zijin and the others. Completion reward: Tianzhu Sword (yellow level top grade)]
[Option 3: Set a high enough goal for Liu Zijin and the others. Completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]
'What the hell?'
For the first two options, Jiang Beiran could understand that it would be difficult to get rid of these five junior sisters, but judging from the rewards, their risk seemed to have been reduced a bit. You should know that he just said a few words when he took them down the mountain last time.
The option to jump is to start at the Earth level, which has now been reduced to the Xuan level.
But what makes Jiang Beiran confused is what these three items mean, setting a goal...
‘Does this mean you want me to issue tasks to them?’
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Beiran suddenly understood the meaning of this option. Why could these five golden flowers still have the energy to torment themselves after three months?
So free!
Wouldn't it be nice to find something for them to use up their energy?
Jiang Beiran, who suddenly felt that the system was still wise, felt stable.
So he coughed lightly and said to Fang Qiuyao, who was still hesitating: "Stand back first."
Fang Qiuyao, who was still saying "I, me, me", said "hmm" and stood back dejectedly.
Then Jiang Beiran looked at the three sisters of the Yu family who were present and might be able to talk properly and said, "Tell me, why did you come to me?"
Seeing that Fang Qiuyao failed to speak, Yu Guishui thought for a moment and replied: "Actually, we have always wanted senior brother to be an iron seal for us again. We want..."
Before Yu Guishui could finish speaking, Jiang Beiran interrupted her and said, "Do you know why I left the three chapters of the agreement?"
After hearing this, Liu Zijin and the other five looked at each other for a while and replied, "I don't know."
"What I'm worried about is that you have this kind of dependence!"
Hearing their senior brother's serious answer, the five sisters suddenly realized something.
Seeing that the five people had entered the pit... Jiang Beiran looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and said: "Three years ago, I met a team who were new disciples like you, because my experience in making iron seals at that time had already been
It’s very rich, so it’s easy to lead them to complete the trial goals.”
Speaking of this, Jiang Beiran just showed a look with a look mixed with recollection and a little regret, and then shook his head and sighed, fully arousing the emotions of Liu Zijin and the five of them before continuing.
"Because the first trial went very well, they soon came to me to be the iron seal. I agreed to them and passed the trial smoothly again, and then the third, fourth...
"
"Then one day, because they could always complete the trials perfectly, the higher-ups in the hall gave them a task to eradicate a newly emerging demonic organization."
Speaking of this, Jiang Beiran sighed again.
"Senior brother..." Fang Qiuyao, who was completely absorbed in the drama, shouted softly.
Waving towards her, Jiang Beiran continued: "Because the previous trial was too smooth, they had a huge misjudgment of their own strength. As a result, all five of them died in that mission."
"Ah!" Liu Zijin and others covered their mouths and exclaimed. Although they had thought that this was a sad story, they did not expect it to be so painful.
"So after that time, I vowed never to take the same group of new disciples on two trial missions. In addition, in order to prevent them from having any sense of dependence on me, I made three chapters of the agreement." Jiang Beiran glanced at him after finishing speaking.
Liu Zijin and the others asked: "Can you understand?"
"Well, well, well!" The five sisters nodded.
Nodding happily, Jiang Beiran said again: "I think the same about you. I hope you can quickly become independent and become a sect elite who can stand alone, instead of always relying on others when encountering difficulties. Understand
?"
"Well, well, well!" The five sisters nodded again.
"Actually, I usually wouldn't say so much, but I feel like you don't seem to understand these principles."
"I'm sorry...senior brother." The five sisters lowered their heads in shame.
"If you really feel sorry for me, senior brother, just promise me something."
"Senior brother, please tell me!" Liu Zijin's five sisters said with great seriousness.
"Senior brother, I hope you can become the most outstanding disciples in Shuijing Hall!"
"Yes!" the five sisters said in unison.
‘Huh!? Why don’t you jump to the reward? Isn’t this goal high enough!? What kind of noobs are these Shui Jing Tang?’
After complaining in his heart, Jiang Beiran could only continue: "Don't rush to answer. Becoming the most outstanding disciple of Shuijing Hall is just the beginning. Becoming the most outstanding disciple of the entire Guixin Sect is what senior brother expects from you."
"This..." The five of them hesitated, not knowing whether they could fulfill their senior brother's wish.
At this time, Fang Qiuyao suddenly raised her head and looked at Jiang Beiran with firm eyes and asked: "Senior brother, if we do it, will you be willing to let go of this past and take us down the mountain together again?"
'With Qing Ce here, you still want to be the number one in the sect? That doesn't exist.'
So Jiang Beiran nodded and said: "Of course it's no problem."
When the five of them heard this, they immediately raised their hands in surprise and said, "We will definitely live up to our senior brother's expectations!"
Seeing the system prompt popping up, Jiang Beiran immediately felt relieved, and then said to the five of them: "Becoming the number one disciple of Gui Xin Sect is not such an easy thing, so you have to work hard next."
"Yes! Let's go practice now!" After saying that, the five sisters saluted Jiang Beiran, then turned and ran away.
"call……"
Seeing the five sisters leaving together, Jiang Beiran breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking that they would practice hard in the future because of his encouragement today, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
'I am indeed an excellent senior brother.'
Nodding with self-assurance, Jiang Beiran turned back to the room and continued playing chess.
At Xu's time, when Mo Xia was thinking hard about the next chess move, Jiang Beiran suddenly sensed Wu Qingce's mysterious energy outside the window, so he said to Mo Xia: "Senior brother, it's time to go for a walk. You should think about this move carefully."
Mo Xia nodded after hearing this. Although he hoped that his senior brother would come back soon, he knew that if he said the words "Senior brother, come back soon", he would make his senior brother unhappy.
After walking out of the guest house and arriving at a secluded place, Jiang Beiran asked Wu Qingce, "What's the matter?"
"Senior brother..."
Wu Qingce actually wanted to ask what was going on in the past few days, but he knew that he couldn't ask if his senior brother didn't take the initiative, so after thinking for a long time he asked: "Brother, how are you recovering?
?”
"Ugh!" Wu Qingce covered his forehead and screamed as soon as he finished speaking, but knowing not to shout too loudly, he swallowed the scream as soon as he opened his mouth.
"You called me out just to ask such a boring question?"
Looking at his senior brother's sharp eyes, Wu Qingce quickly shook his head and said, "No! I'm looking for senior brother this time... because I want to discuss with you how I can defeat that Mu Jiuri tomorrow."
