Looking at Jiang Beiran's leaving figure, Gao Lanwen stared at her eyes and looked at a loss. After all, she had never encountered such a situation.
Before she could think about whether the master was really in a hurry or was just trying to avoid her, she saw a car slowly parked in front of her.
With a click, the car door opened, and a young man wearing a snow-white robe stepped out.
"Sister Lanwen!"
As soon as he saw Gao Lanwen, the young man shouted in surprise.
Gao Lanwen glanced at him and nodded, which was considered a greeting.
"Sister Lan Wen, in the past six months, I have been ordered by my father to go to Suiling Mountain to rectify the evil beasts. Now it is finally over and I will be back soon. This is the gift I brought you."
Looking at the beautifully carved wooden box in the young man's hand, Gao Lanwen waved her hands and said: "No reward for no merit, Mr. Shi should keep it for himself." After saying that, he looked at Liu Weining beside him who still had a look of loss and said: "Ning Ning, it's time for you to keep it for yourself."
Went back."
Touching the right cheek that she had just rubbed against Honghuyu, Liu Weining nodded and followed Gao Lanwen with distracted eyes.
When the young man saw that the gift had not been delivered, he quickly chased after him and shouted: "Sister Lanwen, this is not a valuable item, just keep it. By the way, I also brought some local tea, which is very delicious. I
I’ll brew some for you to try.”
While the young man was trying to please him, Jiang Beiran had already arrived at Xuanfang.
Jiang Beiran took out a list of names from the Qiankun Ring, opened it, and took a quick look towards the South District.
…
[Option 1: Take Fang Bin as your subordinate. Completion reward: Que Yu You Lu (prefecture level mid-level)]
[Option 2: Let him continue working in Xuanfang with peace of mind. Completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]
'Tsk, this little brother is hard to accept...'
Jiang Beiran's original plan was to first filter out the "workers" on Jinding Island's list this time, and then select the most elite ones from the remaining people to be his younger brothers.
But he didn't expect that this was only the first step, and the system options would pop up frequently, filtering out more than half of the people he selected.
After choosing the second option, Jiang Beiran said to Fang Bin in front of him: "Keep working hard, you have made a good start now, and you will definitely have a chance to be promoted."
[Optional mission completed, reward: Agility +1]
"Thank you, Brother Jiang, for your encouragement." Fang Bin bowed deeply towards Jiang Beiran, and Fang Bin couldn't be more moved.
He received many awards after returning from Jinding Island this time. He originally planned to prepare some gifts before visiting Brother Jiang to thank him, but he did not expect that Brother Jiang would actually take the initiative to care about his current situation, which made him very flattered.
"I want to go see a few other people, so you should go back first."
"Yes, Brother Jiang, take care." After Fang Bin said this, he cupped his hands towards Jiang Bei and ran back to Xuanyuanfang.
Taking out the roster, Jiang Beiran picked up a pen and crossed out another name on it.
If we just look at it from the surface, Jiang Beiran feels that they all have similar respect for him, and the reason why the system pops up the option is the prefecture-level mid-level option. There should be only one core reason.
That means they are not reliable enough.
Although their current attitude is very respectful, it is only for now.
When they become stronger in the future, or face temptation, their minds will come alive, and they will eventually become the second or fifth generation.
Sighing, thinking that he had triggered the option ten times today to take in his younger brother, Jiang Beiran decided to go back and rest for a night before continuing tomorrow.
On the way, Jiang Beiran guessed as he walked how many of the remaining people on the list could pass the system's screening.
'I don't know if Ni Guanyu can withstand it. It would be a pity if he was screened out.'
This trip to Jinding Island left a deep impression on Jiang Beiran. Ni Guanyu was one of them.
Firstly, he was very courageous. When he first landed on the island, although others already knew how powerful Minran was, most of them still didn't dare to go far and only dared to look for treasures near the base camp.
Only Ni Guanyu dared to run several miles away early.
Secondly, he has very strong abilities. Ni Guanyu is a bug master and has very sensitive perception ability, able to sense movement hundreds of miles away.
And it can do some basic communication with the insect swarm to obtain information about the surroundings.
It can be said that he is a rare talent.
When Jiang Beiran was about to turn the list to the next page, he suddenly looked up and saw someone standing in front of his house.
"Uncle..."
Shi Jiamu lowered his head and shouted nervously.
"Is something wrong?" Jiang Beiran asked.
Seeing that his uncle's behavior was the same as usual, as if yesterday's quarrel had never happened, Shi Jiamu suddenly felt that his troubles were completely meaningless.
"Yes... I'm sorry. I was too childish yesterday. I shouldn't have vented my anger on you."
Seeing a child in his early ten years telling himself that he was too childish yesterday, Jiang Beiran wanted to laugh a little, but seeing Shi Jiamu apologize so seriously, he still held it back.
"Oh, I accept your apology."
Although Jiang Beiran didn't think it was an argument, but instead of having to explain a lot so that Shi Jiamu didn't have to apologize for this matter, it would be more convenient to accept her apology directly.
As soon as Jiang Beiran finished speaking, Shi Fenglan jumped out of the room and shouted: "Haha! Let me just say, Xiao Beiran is very generous."
After bypassing the two girls and walking into the hut, Jiang Beiran walked straight towards the tea table.
Pulling the relieved Shi Jiamu back to the hut, Shi Fenglan shouted to Xiao Beiran: "Xiao Beiran, let's play simulated cultivation of immortals together tonight!"
"Okay." Jiang Beiran, who was placing tea sets, nodded.
"Yeah!"
With a cheer, Shi Fenglan ran to Jiang Beiran and stretched out her hands in a begging gesture.
After arriving at the simulated cultivation of immortality, Shi Fenglan shouted happily: "Hurry up, let's sort out the opportunity cards and equipment cards first, and we can play directly after Xiao Beiran makes the tea."
"Okay." Shi Jiamu agreed and played with the cards together with Shi Fenglan.
It has to be said that simulating immortality is indeed a fun way to kill time. Unknowingly, the three of them played until dawn, and the refreshments prepared by Jiang Beiran were also eaten several times.
"Ah! Just a little bit, just a little bit I can win!" Seeing Jiang Beiran's little health remaining, Shi Fenglan beat her chest and stamped her feet.
"Okay, that's it for today. I still have things to do."
Jiang Beiran stood up after speaking.
"Ah?" Shi Fenglan, who had just lost, grabbed Jiang Beiran's calf and shouted, "Wait! One more round, one more round! Just one round!"
"no."
"Well..." Hearing Xiao Beiran's categorical rejection, Shi Fenglan could only mutter "stingy" and then let go.
After putting away the chessboard, Jiang Beiran left the hut and walked towards Xuanfang after saying "take good care of the house".
After Xiao Beiran walked out of the distance, Shi Fenglan looked at Shi Jiamu and said, "Hey, I feel like you have been out of shape all night."
"Ah? Is there any?" Shi Jiamu asked.
"Of course, I'm not even happy when I draw a rare card! This is not normal!" Shi Fenglan then patted Shi Jiamu's shoulder hard twice and said, "Don't worry! I know Xiao Beiran best! He said he was not angry.
Don't be angry. Besides, we will go back in two days. If you continue..."
"What!?" Shi Jiamu suddenly shouted, "Uncle, are you going back? Where are you going back to!?"
"Go back to Shengguo, eh? Didn't Xiao Beiran tell you?"
"No." Shi Jiamu shook his head.
"Aou..." Shi Fenglan suddenly felt a chill on her back, and her expression gradually became panicked, "I'm in a terrible situation now..."
"What's going on? Why is uncle suddenly going back?"
"Oh! Just pretend that I didn't say it. Don't tell Xiao Beiran that I told you this."
"Okay, but you have to tell me when uncle will leave and how long he will be gone."
"This...oh, okay."
…
On the other side, Jiang Beiran, who returned to Xuanfang, took a deep breath. After almost the entire army was wiped out yesterday, he hoped that a few more people could pass the system test today.
Thinking that long-term pain would be worse than short-term pain, Jiang Beiran's first stop was at Yelinpu, where Ni Guanyu was.
Ni Guanyu was very flattered when he saw Brother Jiang coming to him. He quickly put down what he was doing and ran over to salute Jiang Beiran and said, "Brother Jiang, why are you here?"
"Come and see you."
"This...you have really made me feel ashamed. I should have gone to visit you." Ni Guanyu said and quickly moved a chair to the side and said, "You sit down first."
"I'm not going to sit down anymore. I just stopped by to see how you have been these two days?"
"Very good, very good. The person in charge gave me a lot of rewards. Look at this." Ni Guanyu said, taking out a silver and vermilion porcelain jar from the Qiankun Ring and saying, "I've wanted this full moon jar for a long time.
Okay, this time I finally got what I wanted. I originally thought of saving some thank you gifts before visiting my house, but I didn’t expect you to come in person, Brother Jiang. I’m really sorry.”
After Ni Guanyu finished speaking, he bowed to Jiang Beiran.
"You have earned this through your own efforts, so there is no need to thank me so much."
"No, no, no, it's all because Brother Jiang gave me this opportunity, otherwise..."
"Okay, let's put the thank you aside for now. I have one more thing to ask you this time."
"Brother Jiang, feel free to ask, I will definitely tell you everything I know."
"What is your dream?"
'Um???'
Ni Guanyu was confused for a moment and didn't quite understand why Brother Jiang suddenly raised such a question.
"I..." After being stunned for a long time, Ni Guanyu replied: "I want to become a high-level insect master first, and then...then see if there is a chance to break through to the Xuanwang realm."
Ni Guanyu felt a little embarrassed after saying this, and added, "Am I too greedy..."
"So what kind of efforts are you going to make to become a high-level insect master?"
…
After a formulaic inquiry, Ni Guanyu, who had been fed several bowls of chicken soup, was so excited that his face turned red.
Seeing that the emotion was already in place, Jiang Beiran said that sentence at the right time.
"If you are really enterprising, I can help you."
After hearing this, Ni Guanyu immediately swore: "If Brother Jiang can help me realize my ideal, I will be driven by you for the rest of my life."
'It's done!'
When we talked about this, the system did not pop up any options, which means that Ni Guanyu has passed the system's screening and there is a high probability that he can be accepted as his younger brother.
"In that case, you can go back first. Someone will naturally tell you what to do next after a while."
"Thank you, Brother Jiang!" After bowing deeply to Jiang Beiran, Ni Guanyu said goodbye and left.
Opening the roster, Jiang Beiran happily drew a circle on it, and then walked towards the next place that needed a dream mentor.
"Help!"
As soon as she walked onto the street, Jiang Beiran saw a woman running towards her with a panicked look on her face.
[Option 1: Protect the woman behind you. Completion reward: Wheel Flame Secret Manual (Xuan-level top grade)]
[Option 2: Dodge quickly. Completion reward: Random basic attribute point +1]
Choosing the second choice, Jiang Beiran immediately stepped aside and left quickly under the shocked eyes of the woman.
'Does this man have bad eyesight? Or is he too cowardly? A beautiful woman like me gives him a chance to be a hero and save her beauty for free!?'
After she couldn't help but curse a few words in her heart, the woman rushed towards the next man who looked stronger.
"Help~"
…
[Optional task completed, reward: Insight +1]
‘Tsk, this reminder is a waste, what a shame.’
Seeing the woman walking away, Jiang Beiran sighed secretly and continued walking forward.
"Brother Jiang, you are still so different."
'unlucky……'
The moment he heard the sound coming from above, Jiang Beiran immediately quickened his pace and walked forward.
"Hey, brother Jiang, don't leave in a hurry."
Following the words, a beautiful figure fell in front of Jiang Beiran, it was Shi Yutong.
"Sorry, I'm in a hurry. Let's go first."
Jiang Beiran said, bypassing Shi Yutong and continuing to walk forward.
"Hey, brother Jiang, don't leave in a hurry. I have news about Zhanri Liu. Do you want to hear it?"
‘…’
'grass!'
Jiang Beiran never expected to hear news about Zhanri Liu from Shi Yutong. What is the background of this little witch?
So far, Jiang Beiran has only told Shi Hongfang about Zhanri Liu, and he did so when there was no jump option in the system, but how come this little witch found out about it.
Shi Hongfang told him?
It doesn’t make sense, Shi Hongfang, the dignified owner of Linglongfang, would find such a little girl’s film even if he was asking about something?
Seeing Jiang Beiran's figure paused, Shi Yutong immediately jumped to Jiang Beiran's side and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, don't always avoid me. I really just want to learn the art of divination from you. I have no other intention."
"I really don't want to teach you. As for the news about Zanri Liu, you should keep it to yourself. Take your leave."
