In the early morning, at the entrance of a camp, Zhang Heqing and other Guixin Sect hall masters were wandering uneasily.
Until Baishan and Zhu Qiyi arrived, everyone immediately looked straight at him.
"Have you all been waiting here all night?" Zhu Qiyi couldn't help but ask with the corner of his mouth twitching.
"We are really worried about the wounded. We are so worried that we don't know how to eat and can't sleep at night, so we are waiting here." Yang Yulin, the leader of Luanxing Hall, took the lead in replying, and the other hall masters also nodded in agreement.
'I believed your ghosts...'
As the general manager of the sect, Zhu Qiyi is quite aware of the urinary nature of these people.
However, he didn't point it out. He shook his head twice and walked into the big tent.
The large tent was full of injured personnel from the Gui Xin Sect. Most of them had been invaded by miasma and could recover within a few days of conditioning. Only a few who had encountered the enemy earlier were more seriously poisoned, and Yu Manwen was one of them.
The poison she was poisoned by was something Zhu Qiyi had never seen before, so it would take some time to prepare the antidote. If Zhang Heqing hadn't sent a bottle of heart-protecting pills yesterday, how could he have saved her life during the time it took to prepare the antidote?
Zhu Qiyi was a little troubled.
'It's just that the poison in her is too difficult to cure. It seems that we have to find a way to send her to Nan Weng for a look.'
"Huh..." After taking a long breath, Zhu Qiyi adjusted a smile and opened the isolation curtain, and saw that Yu Manwen, who was extremely weak yesterday, was already sitting on the bed and exercising.
'Um!?'
Zhu Qiyi almost made his eyes pop out. Logically speaking, Yu Manwen was so poisoned that it would be impossible to sit up, let alone do his luck.
Hearing the curtain being pulled open, Yu Manwen, who was doing his exercises, slowly opened his beautiful eyes and looked at Zhu Qiyi and said, "The white fan has really rejuvenated me. My health is much better."
"No, no, no..." Zhu Qiyi waved his hand, "I don't dare to receive such a great achievement, how can you be so good?"
"I..." Yu Manwen was about to reply, when a feeling suddenly flashed through his mind. It seemed that when he was most uncomfortable last night, a hand was on his pulse. He originally thought it was Zhu Baifan, but now he saw Zhu Qi
Yi's reaction... doesn't seem to be right?
"When I woke up in the morning, I felt like my body had recovered..." Yu Manwen replied.
"It's weird...it's strange, how is this possible?" Zhu Qiyi's face was full of doubts, and he couldn't figure out what was going on.
After thinking about it, Zhu Qiyi looked at Yu Manwen and said, "Stretch out your hand and I will feel your pulse."
"Excuse me." Yu Manwen nodded and stretched out his right hand.
Taking advantage of Yu Manwen's pulse, Zhu Qiyi's expression suddenly became even weirder.
'All the internal organs are completely clean, not even a trace of toxins are left. This... who is the master who treated this?'
After Yu Manwen let go of his hand, Zhu Qiyi couldn't help but ask: "Has anyone been here since I left yesterday?"
At this time, the cold touch on his wrist flashed through Yu Manwen's mind again.
'Who is that?'
After thinking for a moment, Yu Manwen thought that since the person did not reveal his identity to him, it meant that he did not want to reveal it to others, so he finally shook his head and said: "No one has been here."
"How is that possible... To be honest, I can't cure your poison at all. Before I came here, I was thinking about sending you to a highly respected doctor, but I never thought that you would be cured on your own. It's really weird.
…”
While Zhu Qiyi was in doubt, Yu Manwen was also desperately trying to recall what happened last night.
First, Zhu Baishan treated her, and then took out a bottle of Heart-Protection Pill that he said was sent by Hall Master Zhang, which could protect her life.
Before taking the heart-protecting pill, Yu Manwen once felt that he had been hovering on the edge of deep thought, and his heart would hurt sharply from time to time, as if it would stop beating at any time.
But as soon as she took the heart-protecting pill, the throbbing feeling from time to time disappeared immediately, but the toxins in her body were still tormenting her, and the feeling of hot and cold was really uncomfortable.
This feeling reached its peak in the middle of the night. One moment, Yu Manwen felt like she was falling into magma, and the next, she felt like she was being frozen by thousands of years of cold air. The pain almost made her lose her mind.
And just before she almost fainted, she clearly felt a hand pressing on her pulse.
For some reason, that hand gave her a very reassuring feeling, so when her mental pressure and pain reached its peak, she fainted with relief. She could not remember what happened after that.
'What's going on?'
Yu Manwen suddenly fell into the same doubts as Zhu Qiyi.
On the other side, Yin Jianghong and other three giants have arranged members to go exploring. Just now, the last group of teams has left the camp.
"Here we come." Outside the camp, Yin Jianghong, who specially called Jiang Beiran out, shouted with her back to him.
"I wonder why Master Yin called me here?" Jiang Beiran saluted.
"Everything that needs to be arranged has been arranged, you are the only one left."
"Just follow the orders of Master Yin."
"Very good, but before departure, I have a question to ask you."
"Master Yin, please speak."
At this time, Yin Jianghong slowly turned half of her face, her left eye locked on Jiang Beiran like a falcon and asked: "Will you...will always stand by Sheng Guo?"
Jiang Beiran was stunned by this sudden problem, and at the same time, the system options also popped up.
[Option 1: "Why did Master Yin say this?" Completion reward: Fire Cloud Immortal Record (prefecture-level low-grade)]
[Option 2: "Of course I will always stand on the side of Sheng Kingdom." Completion reward: Luochen Fairy Book (Xuan-level mid-grade)]
[Option 3: "I believe Master Yin, you already have your own judgment, don't you?" Completion reward: Random basic skill point +1]
‘WTF?’
Looking at option three, Jiang Beiran was a little stunned. This answer obviously meant a showdown. The rhythm of the system... I really can never catch up.
Choosing three, Jiang Beiran replied with a meaningful smile: "I believe that Master Yin, you have already made your own judgment, right?"
[Optional mission completed, reward: Poison +1]
Hearing Jiang Beiran's answer, Yin Jianghong was stunned for a moment.
He had been full of curiosity from the first time he saw this disciple with no cultivation at the Hidden Moon Sect, and subsequent incidents also made him more and more fearful of this disciple named Jiang Beiran.
There is no other reason. He is so good at hiding that he even dared to hide in front of him, Xuanzong. The most terrifying thing is that he still hid it.
If he hadn't been extremely smart and could give me the most reassuring response every time, I wouldn't have believed him again and again.
Until he entered the miasma this time, and the masked master appeared at the right time to save him. This outrageous coincidence made it impossible for Yin Jianghong to just test this kid like before. He had to make it clear this time, because
This is related to the future of Shengguo.
But he didn't expect that as soon as he asked, the kid in front of him would directly show off his cards, as if to say: "Have I not been trying my best to express my kindness to make you feel at ease?"
"call……"
Yin Jianghong let out a long breath, turned around completely and looked directly at Jiang Beiran: "Who are you?"
"Registered disciple of Guixin Sect, Emperor of Sheng Kingdom, Jiang Beiran." Jiang Beiran replied with a smile.
"Okay, let me ask you another question, what do you want to do in Sheng Kingdom?"
"Let Shengguo become the strongest country in Xuanlong Continent."
"Why? Why did you suddenly tell the truth today?"
As soon as Yin Jianghong finished asking, three options popped up.
[Option 1: "I just suddenly don't want to hide it from Master Yin anymore." Completion reward: Wuwei Xuanjing (low-grade earth-level)]
[Option 2: "Because I want to have a deeper cooperation with you, Master Yin." Completion reward: Starry Night Secret Code (low-grade Xuan-level)]
[Option 3: "Alas, isn't it because you are weak?" Completion reward: Random basic attribute point +1]
'Good guy...I really can't figure you out.'
Choosing three, Jiang Beiran spread his hands and said: "Oh, isn't it because you are not strong enough?"
[Optional mission completed, reward: Spirit +1]
After hearing this, Yin Jianghong was stunned for a moment, then laughed wildly and said: "Hahahahaha, that's my fault."
Yin Jianghong suddenly understood that the reason why she chose to believe that this disciple had no ill intentions towards her or Sheng Guo again and again was because what he told the truth had always been true, so she felt reassured.
Just like this time, if he hadn't been able to protect him, he would have been able to hide for a while longer.
After laughing for a long time, Yin Jianghong shook his head and said: "Okay, then this time it is my fault, can you answer me now who are you?"
"I didn't hide it from you. My identity is just these two, the registered disciple of Guixin Sect and the emperor of Sheng Kingdom. It's just..." Jiang Beiran suddenly raised his index finger and poked it upward.
"There is someone above me."
"Is there someone above?" Yin Jianghong suddenly frowned. It had to be said that the amount of information in this sentence was too much.
"Can you tell me which powerful person it is?" Yin Jianghong asked.
"I'm really sorry, I can't tell who he is."
"Then what's his purpose? Why did he choose Shengguo?"
Before Jiang Beiran could answer, two more options appeared in front of Jiang Beiran.
[Option 1: "Unspeakable." Completion reward: Seal of Creation (earth-level low-grade)]
[Option 2: "This is all the experience that the great master arranged for me." Completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]
‘Fuck it, it’s the third time.’
Seeing another option, Jiang Beiran suddenly panicked, because he knew that asking the system to jump through too many options on the same question would lead to results like Lin Yuyan's.
'We have to find a way to fool him.'
Choosing three, Jiang Beiran replied: "These are all experiences arranged for me by the great master."
"Experience?"
Yin Jianghong fell into deep thought again.
Combined with the previous bits and pieces, as well as Jiang Beiran's various wild ideas.
'Could it be that the great man wants to prove that even without any cultivation, he can become the strongest by relying only on his intelligence?'
Thinking of this, Yin Jianghong couldn't help but look at Jiang Beiran in front of her, and felt more and more that her idea was correct.
Although the young disciple in front of him has almost no cultivation, he has become an indispensable figure in Sheng Kingdom. Both he and Guan Shian sometimes look at him as an equal, which has never happened before.
, which he could not imagine at all.
In this world where the strong are respected, no matter how smart you are, you must have strength to back you up, otherwise it will be meaningless. But now... he seems to be witnessing a new kind of strong man.
Continuing to think along this line of thinking, it becomes very reasonable that Jiangbei will appear in Shengguo. It is naturally a test, so naturally we have to choose the most difficult one. As a small border country, Shengguo can compare with those big countries in the Central Plains.
It doesn't matter what you want. Wanting such a country to become the strongest in the Xuanlong Continent is simply a fool's dream.
But from Jiang Beiran's various actions after ascending to the throne, it can indeed be seen that he has unprecedented special ideas that no one can achieve.
After thinking deeply for a while, Yin Jianghong asked seriously again: "So I can trust you, right?"
"Of course." Jiang Beiran nodded, "It's just that this matter can become a secret between me and Leader Yin, otherwise my trial will be over."
"Okay, since you can bring benefits to Shengguo, you can also bring benefits to me. From now on, should I treat you as a collaborator?"
"It's better to say goodbye and just keep it as before. I am still the little emperor and you are still the great leader."
"I didn't expect that such a small Sheng Kingdom...is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger." After sighing, Yin Jianghong said with a smile: "Let's go, Your Majesty, for the future of Sheng Kingdom, you have to work harder this time."
"That's natural, but before setting off, I also have something to tell you."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"Your apprentice wants to join forces with me to kill you."
[Optional task completed, reward: Five Elements +1]
'Oh?'
Seeing this brand new special attribute point, Jiang Beiran's expression almost became a bit unbearable. You must know that the five elements are not just as simple as metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. They represent the image and analogy of everything.
Just like mathematics is the basis of all sciences, the five elements are the basis of all metaphysics.
It is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine, fortune telling, numerology, physiognomy, divination, etc.
It is said that Tao gives birth to one, gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.
The two born here are yin and yang, and the five elements are the five basic dynamics of the evolution of yin and yang into all things.
Among them, gold represents gathering, wood represents growth, water represents infiltration, fire represents destruction, and earth represents fusion.
In metaphysics, the Five Elements are used to explain the interdependence between all things in the world.
It is precisely because the Five Elements covers so many aspects that Jiang Beiran was so surprised by the arrival of this new special point. This is the most primitive system of his ability, and the benefits it will bring him in the future may be unimaginable.
When Jiang Beiran was extremely surprised, Yin Jianghong laughed and said: "Hahaha, it sounds like what that little beast would say, then did you agree to him?"
"I originally wanted to agree, but he suddenly didn't want to."
"Oh? Why?" Yin Jianghong didn't care at all that Jiang Beiran originally wanted to agree to this, and continued to ask with a smile.
"The condition I gave was that as long as he told me what happened between him and Leader Yin, I would agree to join forces with him, but he didn't tell me."
"Alas, it's unfortunate for our teacher. I'll talk to you about this matter when I have the opportunity in the future." Yin Jianghong, who didn't intend to elaborate on the matter, waved his hand and changed the topic and said, "When he talked to you, the first sentence he said was
Do I already know your secret?"
Jiang Beiran was stunned and asked: "How did Master Yin know?"
"That's his old habit. When we meet, he cheats. Just ignore him."
In fact, Jiang Beiran felt that Ji Qinglin was just deceiving him at first, otherwise the system would not be able to skip the option, but Jiang Beiran felt that it was not as simple as just deceiving him, after all...
'He looks like he really knows something...'
Yesterday, I accidentally fell asleep when I was coding until 10 o'clock... When I woke up, it was already 7 o'clock in the morning, and I just followed the trend of the whole day.
