In fact, when Jiang Beiran came back, he had already thought that Yu Manwen would come to him again, so in order not to cause more troubles, Jiang Beiran decided to "retreat" directly and let the protector wait for her curiosity about him for a month.
As your mind slowly cools down, the incident will naturally subside.
But what Jiang Beiran never expected was that the wise hall master who used to cover for him would actually... this time...
Seeing Zhang Heqing peeking at Yu Manwen's "shy" expression from time to time, Jiang Beiran despaired.
'A flower from Gui Xin Sect... so terrifying!'
After ending his heart-wrenching activities, Jiang Beiran stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Disciple Jiang Beiran pays homage to the protector."
Yu Manwen nodded slightly and said, "Bei Ran, you hid in Lan Xinxuan when you came back. Are you hiding from me?"
Just as Jiang Beiran was about to answer, he saw three options appearing in front of him.
[Option 1: "How dare the disciples." Completion reward: Blood Refining Slash (low-grade Xuan level)]
[Option 2: "Dragon protector Yu was overly worried. The disciple just suddenly had inspiration and wanted to further improve his chess skills, so he went into retreat in a hurry." Completion reward: Three-pointed and four-edged edge (yellow-level mid-grade)]
[Option 3: "Yes." Completion reward: Random basic skill point +1]
Jiang Beiran was stunned when he saw these three options, but he immediately chose three and replied: "Yes."
[Optional task completed, reward: painting +1]
After hearing this, Zhang Heqing's expression suddenly froze, and he shouted quickly: "Jiang Beiran! What are you talking about? Are you itchy?" After speaking, he turned to Manwen and said with an apologetic smile: "Dragon protector, you blame me for not being strict in discipline.
That just made him disrespectful, I will definitely punish him well afterward."
"No need." Yu Manwen raised his left hand and waved towards Zhang Heqing, and then said: "I wonder if Hall Master Zhang can let me talk to him alone?"
"Of course." After Zhang Heqing said that, he stood up and walked towards the door. As he passed by Jiang Beiran, he said using voice transmission: "Don't be angry with the law anymore, otherwise the court rules will serve you."
Jiang Beiran immediately nodded to express his understanding.
With the characteristic "squeaking" sound of the wooden door, Zhang Heqing closed the door and left the hall.
"Beiran, I saw you right." Yu Manwen said, standing up slowly and walking towards Jiang Beiran, "Zijin and the others told me what happened along the way, how can those five children be able to
You've done a great job growing so much without suffering any big losses."
"Thank you very much for the compliment, Protector."
"But since you rejected me so forcefully just now... you mean you don't want to be involved with them anymore, right? Or are you afraid that I will force you to embark on a path of cultivation?"
"I……"
Just as Jiang Beiran was about to speak, Yu Manwen stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Needless to say, I understand that you are mature far beyond your age. You know what you should and shouldn't do, and you are very determined.
You are walking on the path of your own choice, and I appreciate this tenacity."
As he spoke, Yu Manwen patted Jiang Beiran's shoulder lightly, "A person's value does not necessarily have to be reflected in his cultivation. Before, this guardian was narrow-minded and a little too hasty. I always felt that I couldn't waste this good talent like you.
, but I now understand that you have your own life ideals and noble sentiments, so I will not impose my ideas on you in the future, don't worry."
‘…’
Protector Yu gave a long speech that made Jiang Beiran confused.
'Ideal in life? Noble sentiments? What on earth did those girls say about me...'
However, regardless of the process, Jiang Beiran still liked the result, so he held up his hands and said: "If you want to be considerate of the Dharma protector, these praises will definitely be engraved in the hearts of the disciples."
"Okay, that's all I have to say. In addition, you have done me a favor this time. I owe you a favor. If you need help with anything in the future, just ask, I can still say it in this Guixin Sect.
Just a few words."
"Thank you so much, protector!"
"Well, come on, work hard, I'm leaving first." After Yu Manwen said that, he turned around, pushed open the wooden door, and walked outside.
'This really ended...a bit suddenly.'
However, it is certainly a good thing for Jiang Beiran that Protector Yu can be so reasonable. At least he doesn't have to worry about what she is thinking and "trouble" him.
Outside the door, Yu Manwen walked out and nodded to Zhang Heqing and said, "I'm bothering Hall Master Zhang today. Thank you very much."
"What are you talking about? Protector Yu is too polite. Are you and Bei Ran... finished talking?"
"Yes." Yu Manwen nodded: "He is a good disciple. It seems that Lanxintang is really good at teaching and is worth learning more from Shuijingtang."
After hearing this, Zhang Heqing smiled modestly: "I am so complimentary of the protector."
"But there are still some things waiting for me to go back and deal with in the hall today, so I'll take my leave now. I'll come see Hall Master Zhang for advice next time."
At this time, the man who had just left came over carrying a tray with tea cups. Seeing that Yu Manwen seemed to be leaving, he didn't know what to do for a while.
Zhang Heqing looked at it and immediately took the tea cup on the tray and said to Man Wen: "Dragon protector Yu, please take a sip of tea before you leave. It has just been brewed and is smelling good."
"Okay." Yu Manwen agreed, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "It is indeed fragrant, good tea."
"As long as you like it, Protector Yu. I still have a lot of these green snails. You can take some back and give Hall Master Xu a taste."
"No, thank you Hall Master Zhang for your kindness, I'm leaving first." After saying that, Yu Manwen put the teacup back on the tray and walked outside.
"I'll send you off..."
Seeing Zhang Heqing chasing after him, Jiang Beiran shook his head and sighed. The image of the former hall master's dashing figure was completely shattered in his heart.
"Lick...oh no, love makes people humble!"
After about a stick of incense had passed, Zhang Heqing finally came back, with a somewhat excited expression on his face.
Seeing Jiang Beiran who was still waiting at the door of the hall, Zhang Heqing coughed lightly and said: "Beiran, you did a very good job with the iron seal this time. You have earned face for our Lanxintang. I will mark your contribution."
"
"Thank you, Master."
"The other thing is that Protector Yu seems to have a very good impression of you. Get to know her more if you have the opportunity... Why are you looking at me like that? I mean that this kind of relationship can be established with other teachers.
We need to cherish it more, maybe we can help each other in the future."
Hearing what the hall master himself probably didn't believe, Jiang Beiran lowered his head and cupped his hands and said: "Disciple, accept the order."
"Well...then you can go back and continue playing chess."
"yes."
Jiang Beiran answered and just turned around to go back to Lan Xinxuan when he heard Zhang Heqing suddenly called him again and said: "Beiran, if you have the chance, please invite Protector Yu to come and sit in the hall. This is also for the future development of our hall."
consider."
'I believed your ghost...'
Resisting the urge to complain, Jiang Beiran nodded in agreement again, but of course what he was thinking in his mind was that he would agree to it, and we would decide whether he would do it or not.
