Chapter 258 You don't play cards according to the routine?
'Alas~ Pretending to sleep is hard work.'
Because there were too many follow-up matters to deal with, Yin Jianghong just asked Jiang Beiran a few questions about the masked man and then sent him back to the camp to rest.
Jiang Beiran could only close his eyes and pretend to sleep, while recalling the self-enchantment just now and thinking about when would be a better time for him to wake up.
This disguise lasted until the evening. When noisy discussions arose in the camp, Jiang Beiran adjusted back to his normal breathing state and opened his eyes with "difficulty".
But before Jiang Beiran asked for water, he saw a figure slowly walking into the tent and saying: "Wake up, my Emperor."
Jiang Beiran turned his head and saw that the person coming was Ji Qinglin, the devil of Lanzhou and Yin Jianghong's traitor.
"I've met Master Ji." Jiang Beiran opened his white lips and said.
"Pretending to be pretty good." Ji Qinglin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, then came to Jiang Beiran's ear and whispered softly: "I know your secret."
'Um!?'
Jiang Beiran's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged as he said, "I wonder which secret Master Ji is referring to?"
"Tsk, tsk." Ji Qinglin clicked his tongue twice, walked to the small table next to him, sat down and said, "There's no need to be secretive from me, we are the same kind of people."
The more Jiang Beiran listened, the more he felt something was wrong. If Ji Qinglin could see through his strength this time, the system should have given him options long ago. But now the system has been slow to jump to the options... Does this mean he is not a threat?
As soon as Jiang Beiran had this idea, three options popped up.
[Option 1: Ask Ji Qinglin how he knew. Completion reward: Infinite Sword Axis (earth-level mid-grade)]
[Option 2: Silence. Completion reward: Fei Hua Yao Chao (Xuan level top grade)]
[Option 3: "I wonder which category Master Ji is referring to?" Completion reward: Random basic attribute point +1]
'The broker is really not a good person.'
After choosing three, Jiang Beiran asked: "I wonder which category Master Ji is referring to?"
[Optional mission completed, reward: Strength +1]
"Okay, since you want to pretend, then I will play with you." After Ji Qinglin finished speaking, he pointed outside with his thumb and said: "You already know that Master Yin is my master, and I believe you can also see it.
His old man doesn’t like me very much.”
Jiang Beiran did not make any response to these words, but just listened quietly.
Seeing that Jiang Beiran didn't reply, Ji Qinglin lowered his voice and said, "So I want to ask you to do me a favor."
"Master Ji, please speak."
"How about we work together to kill the old man?"
'Pfft...you don't play by the rules.'
Jiang Beiran originally thought that Ji Qinglin would say that liking him would help ease their relationship, but he didn't expect that it would be such an exciting question from the beginning.
"Please also ask Master Ji not to make such jokes."
"Who is telling you a joke? Do you think that old man is a good person? Let me tell you, since he can let you sit on this throne, he can pull you down. The last thing this old man will not tolerate is two voices in the same camp.
So it’s only a matter of time before you get killed by that old man.”
"I believe that Master Yin is not the kind of person you said."
"Pretending to be stupid?" Ji Qinglin laughed: "I don't believe you are sitting in this position and haven't worried about the old man suddenly turning his back one day."
"As long as I do my job well, why would Master Yin fall out with me?"
"Okay, since you like to act stupid, let's skip this topic. The reason why I want to join forces with you is, firstly, I think you have the old man's trust now, secondly, you are indeed quite smart, and thirdly...
I know that your potential is huge, and joining forces with you will be beneficial to all my future plans."
Seeing Jiang Beiran about to speak, Ji Qinglin interrupted directly: "You don't need to speak. I came to you today. I just want to tell you these words. I believe that with your intelligence, you must have thought about the future and retreat, and these two
No matter which road you take, you can't help but look at Old Man Yin's face. You... shouldn't want your life to be in the hands of others, right?"
Ji Qinglin's words are actually not a big problem.
If Jiang Beiran didn't have a system to protect him, he would indeed be in panic all day long because of the existence of Yin Jianghong, but the problem is that he does, so it's not false at all.
But this Ji Qinglin is indeed something special, and since he has come to visit, I must take the opportunity to get to know him better. After all, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
So Jiang Beiran reluctantly sat up and asked: "I wonder what happened between Leader Ji and Leader Yin to cause such a quarrel?"
"Want to know?" Ji Qinglin laughed, "If you promise to join forces with me, I will tell you."
Just as Jiang Beiran was about to answer, he saw two options pop up.
[Option 1: "Then I won't listen anymore" Completion reward: Steel Bone Treasure Scroll (prefecture-level low-grade)
[Option 2: Promise Ji Qinglin and tell Yin Jianghong about the matter when the time comes. Completion reward: random special attribute point +1]
'Um?'
Seeing the special attribute points appear, Jiang Beiran knew that his desire to know himself and the enemy was interpreted by the system as actively looking for trouble.
Choosing the second choice, Jiang Beiran replied: "Okay, I promise you."
This time it was Ji Qinglin's turn to be stunned.
"You...promise to join forces with me?"
"Yes." Jiang Beiran nodded.
"Just to hear what happened between me and Old Man Yin?" Ji Qinglin asked again.
"Yes." Jiang Beiran continued to nod.
"Hiss..." Ji Qinglin took a breath, and then suddenly laughed wildly.
After laughing for a while, Ji Qinglin said: "I've felt this way since the first time I saw you. Your kid's head is more or less the same as mine."
Jiang Beiran looked straight at him and smiled slightly, but did not reply.
He took out a fine red rosewood cigarette stick from his arms, lit it, put it in his mouth and took a sip. Ji Qinglin looked at Jiang Beiran and said, "Are you going to tell Old Man Yin about this after hearing this?"
?”
As soon as Ji Qinglin finished speaking, two more options popped up.
[Option 1: "Master Ji is joking, of course I won't go back and say it." Completion reward: Zhaowu Ghost Ben (prefecture-level low-grade)]
[Option 2: "Yes." Completion reward: Random special attribute point +1]
‘So much money!?’
Seeing another special attribute point, Jiangbei Ranle's eyes almost narrowed.
But this option...is really completely unconventional.
Choosing second, Jiang Beiran nodded and said: "Yes."
[Optional mission completed, reward: Word Spirit +1]
Seeing that the special point added this time was the spirit of speech, the joy on Jiang Beiran's face became even more obvious. After all, for now, Jiang Beiran believed that the special attribute points of divination and speech spirit had the highest potential.
"Cough...cough!"
On the other side, Ji Qinglin, who was choked by Jiang Beiran's answer, took a while to recover and said, "Are you crazy?"
"I'm just telling the truth."
"Interesting, are you so sure that I won't worry about you telling Old Man Yin about this?"
"Yes." Jiang Beiran nodded, "Counting this time, I have only met with Master Ji twice, and you discussed such a big matter with me after only two meetings. There are only two reasons. One is that you
You are not afraid that I will tell you about this, and secondly, if I don’t agree to your promise, you will kill me, but I feel that Master Ji is not such a rude person.”
"So confident?"
"Just telling the truth."
In fact, through this conversation and several system options, Jiang Beiran discovered that Ji Qinglin didn't seem to really want to kill Yin Jianghong, but just wanted to have fun with it. Jiang Beiran was really curious about what the relationship between the two was.
Ji Qinglin took another puff from the pipe, puffed out a puff of smoke and said, "No wonder Master would write a special letter to call you when encountering miasma. You are indeed very special. Well, for the sake of you telling the truth.
, I will tell you what happened between me and Master, tsk, where should I start..."
Ji Qinglin took a puff from his cigarette rod and said, "Forget it, it's all nonsense, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's talk about the cooperation next time. Let's go."
‘Ha!? I’ve got the popcorn ready, and you just leave like that!?’
Seeing Ji Qing leave the tent without looking back, Jiang Beiran suddenly felt like he had met his opponent.
Outside the camp, people from all parties were returning to the temporary camp one after another. When Meng Sipei walked to the gate of the camp, dozens of Lanzhou cultivators approached him and asked.
"Sect Master Meng, are you okay? There was a maze in the miasma just now, so I got separated from you. I have been looking for you since then, but I couldn't find you."
"Sect Master Meng, I have prepared some good Tianchen Pills for you, which can help you clean up the miasma poisons involved in your body and help regulate your body."
"Sect Master Meng, you look a little haggard. Are you injured? I know some ways to remove poison. How about we go inside and check it out?"
"Toads appear out of nowhere, come on, tell me what you know about how to detoxify them, and you still want to go inside with Master Meng. I think you have bad intentions!"
"Who are you? What does it have to do with me talking to Master Meng?"
Just when the two were about to quarrel, Meng Sipei walked straight through the crowd without even looking at them.
'Um?'
Everyone was a little strange. Normally, even if Leader Meng refused, he would not ignore them like this. What happened now?
'Is it really true that you were seriously injured?'
"Pei'er, why are you so lost?" Just as Meng Sipei was wandering aimlessly in the camp, a voice like a bell rang in her ears.
Meng Sipei, who came back to his senses, raised his hand to Wan Anqing in front of him and said, "Sect Master."
Nodding, Wan Anqing said: "I heard from Master Yin that you have made a great contribution to breaking the miasma this time. Well done, well done."
Meng Sipei quickly shook his head and said: "Sipei just did some trivial things, and it really can't be said to be taking credit. The reason why the miasma was eradicated this time is all thanks to..."
"Shhh..." Wan Anqing made a gesture of silence, "We will talk about this later, let's do it first."
"Yes." Meng Sipei cupped his hands and followed Wan Anqing towards a large tent.
After opening the curtain, Meng Sipei saw Yin Jianghong and Guan Shi'an as soon as he entered. After saluting, Meng Sipei bowed to Yin Jianghong: "Thank you so much, Master Yin, for your timely rescue, otherwise Sipei would have returned here dead."
.”
After hearing this, Yin Jianghong waved her hands and said, "Even if I don't take action, that expert will save you."
After listening to it, Meng Sipei felt a little complicated for a while, and at the same time, she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
Meng Sipei, who coughed a few times, felt much weaker and even a little unsteady on her feet.
Wan Anqing on the side quickly helped her sit down and checked her pulse.
After a while, Wan Anqing frowned and said: "Your body is too overdrawn." After saying that, he looked at Yin Jianghong and the others and said, "The old Taoist will take her to nurse her back to health first. Please postpone the matter of the council for a while."
After hearing this, Yin Jianghong nodded and said, "That's fine."
But Meng Sipei waved his hand and said, "I can still hold on. You guys probably want to hear what happened after I met that senior. It's not too late for me to finish talking first and then go to practice."
Before Wan Anqing could refuse, Meng Sipei talked about how he was rescued by the senior, how he found the formation's eye, and how he finally broke into the formation.
In addition, Meng Sipei did not miss all the details.
"...So I guess he must also be a foreigner, otherwise he wouldn't be so aware of the weaknesses of the person who set up the formation."
After hearing this, Yin Jianghong nodded and said: "I see...then everything makes sense."
'Is it really true that you were seriously injured?'
"Pei'er, why are you so lost?" Just as Meng Sipei was wandering aimlessly in the camp, a voice like a bell rang in her ears.
Meng Sipei, who came back to his senses, raised his hand to Wan Anqing in front of him and said, "Sect Master."
