From Gu Qinghuan's description, Jiang Beiran almost understood the "personality" of the Shen family.
Helping others and being charitable are the hallmarks of their tribe.
In Yunzhou, legends of the Shen family fighting against injustices and doing chivalry and justice are spread everywhere. It is a rare big family with a very good reputation among practitioners and civilians.
In addition to doing things like chivalry and justice, one thing the Shen family also likes to do is "just breaking up fights."
After all, where there are rivers and lakes, there are fights.
In order to seize resources and talents, conflicts often occur between major sects and families.
The Shen family is like firefighters. No matter where a fight breaks out, they will rush to "put out the fire" to prevent the two families from fighting and destroying lives.
As the most prestigious peacemaker in Yunzhou, most families and sects will give the Shen family some face. Even if they don't stop immediately, it won't be too difficult to end the trouble.
The more such confrontations occur, the more sects and families on the weaker side will be grateful to the Shen family, and at the same time, the Shen family's power network will become wider and wider.
That's right, after Jiang Beiran read Lin Yan's letter, he regarded the Shen family's series of "good people and good deeds" as the family's continuous expansion of its business territory. After all, debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay.
Once someone is helped by the Shen family, they will definitely sit on his side.
As time goes by, when there are more and more "butts" like this, the Shen family's status in Yunzhou will naturally become higher and higher.
As the saying goes, from a general perspective, through the conflict between the Liu and Wen families, Jiang Beiran has reason to believe that the Shen family is not only "firefighters", but also "arsonists".
Lighting the fire by oneself and extinguishing it by oneself, and then gaining both fame and favor, the abacus simply clicked.
'Expert...'
Jiang Beiran believed that many of the disputes caused by the Shen family were indeed caused by the two parties themselves, but there were probably not a few people like the Liu and Wen families who were instigated by them.
This shows how ambitious the Shen family is.
They simply couldn't wait for the conflict between these families and sects, so they tried their best to push back.
Let the "bullets" fly faster.
…
After listening to Gu Qinghuan's report, Jiang Beiran also understood why Gu Qinghuan was so afraid of the Shen family.
They are like a pair of eyes in the dark. You never know when they will be staring at you, which is extremely dangerous.
In addition, this is probably not the first time they have made a "small mistake" like Lin Yan, so it is very likely that they have a very mature set of aftermath measures.
If it weren't for the system, Jiang Beiran would even suspect that they would have been targeted by now.
For this kind of local snake that has been in business for a long time and can be called an "old tree with roots", it is obviously irrational to go head-to-head with them, especially Jiang Beiran, who is particularly "taken care of" by heaven.
If this fight really breaks out, he probably won't even be able to eat.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Beiran looked at Gu Qinghuan and said, "How certain are you that you won't be targeted by the Shen family after the transaction."
"If you reply to senior brother, it's 90%."
'Very good... As expected of me, you are the one who taught me.' Jiang Beiran felt relieved when he heard that Gu Qinghuan felt that he was 90% unsure.
With a compliment in his heart, Jiang Beiran nodded and said: "Okay, then you should try to make an appointment with Wen Yunyan first."
Since Gu Qinghuan is 90% sure that he can escape unscathed, he must try it. Anyway, there will be a system to protect the last 10% when the time comes, and it is impossible for anything to happen.
"Yes." Gu Qinghuan cupped his hands and took out a Qiankun Ring and handed it to Jiang Beiran and said: "Brother, here are the ultimatums of each county in Yunzhou, as well as the local currency and map, which should be useful to you."
"I'm interested." Jiang Beiran took the Qiankun Ring and nodded.
"Then I will prepare first, Junior Brother Luo, let's go."
"Okay." Luo Wenzhou nodded, followed Lu Qinghuan, saluted everyone and left the box.
After Gu Qinghuan left, Jiang Beiran took the rest of the people to pay and left the restaurant. However, the system options were triggered five times before he walked a few streets, highlighting a crisis everywhere.
Even an accidental bump on the shoulder can trigger the earth-level option, which is simply terrifying.
However, this also made Jiang Beiran feel lucky that he had so many good disciples, otherwise he would have been in trouble in daily life in such a difficult place for him, let alone investigating.
"Master Shi, please take us into Fei Mansion."
In a small alley, Jiang Beiran looked at Shi Fenglan and said.
"No problem~"
After Shi Fenglan finished speaking, she immediately summoned Fei Mansion and moved everyone inside.
"Xiao Beiran, Xiao Beiran! Are you going to simulate cultivating immortals?"
After entering Fei Mansion, Shi Fenglan shouted extremely excitedly. After being killed by Jiang Beiran before, she had already understood the true meaning of this game, so she couldn't wait to try it.
All Jiang Beiran could do now was wait for news, so under Shi Fenglan's expectant eyes, he nodded slowly and said: "Okay."
"Great!"
With a cheer, Shi Fenglan immediately called on the other people to put the chessboard and cards away.
Seeing that Wu Qingce was a little dazed, Shi Fenglan stepped forward and said, "What's wrong with you?"
After hearing this, Wu Qingce hurriedly shook his head and replied: "Nothing, I'll just put the chessboard away."
When placing the chessboard, the scene just now flashed through Wu Qingce's mind.
'It turns out that Junior Brother Gu left suddenly and was sent here by Senior Brother.'
As he thought about it, Wu Qingce couldn't help but sigh again, thinking that as his senior brother, he had not been able to help his senior brother for a long time, but instead wanted to cause him more trouble.
But Junior Brother Gu and Junior Brother Luo quietly came to Tan Country, one of the six Central Plains Kingdoms.
You must know that in this country, Xuanzong had to live cautiously. It can be said that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers everywhere.
But even in such a place, the two of them still perfectly solved the task assigned to him by their senior brother.
This can be seen from the senior brother's satisfied expression and several compliments just now.
But now, the two junior brothers have gone to help the senior brother with work, but he can only sit here and gamble with him...
‘What kind of big brother is this?’
Looking at Wu Qingce who was a little slumped at the table, Jiang Beiran naturally knew what he was thinking.
But Jiang Beiran didn't intend to comfort him. Appropriate pressure is definitely a good thing. Only when you understand your own shortcomings can you work hard to make progress.
Besides, he was just here, so he couldn't possibly help Qing Huan. He was just asking for trouble by sighing here.
Qu Yangze didn't have so many ideas. At this moment, he also began to understand the fun of simulating immortal cultivation, and was studying the magic cards carefully.
"Xiao Beiran, the betting board is set, come on, come on!"
After a while, Shi Fenglan waved vigorously towards Jiang Beiran.
"coming."
…
Two days later, Jiang Beiran, who was taking Xia Lingdang out for a walk to trigger the system option, suddenly raised his hand and saw a paper kite resting on his index finger.
Open the kite, the content on it is very simple.
That means Wen Yunyan has already found Gu Qinghuan, and they will have an interview tomorrow.
The address and time are also attached below.
After folding the kite again, Jiang Beiran quickly disappeared into a small alley.
"Xiao Beiran, you are back!"
As soon as he saw Xiao Beiran coming back, Shi Fenglan, who was making tea at the table, shouted.
"Yeah." Jiang Beiran nodded and sat down at the tea table.
Moving closer to Xiao Beiran, Shi Fenglan picked up the teapot and put it next to him and said: "Xiao Beiran, I want to drink the scented tea you made last time."
He took out a blue bottle from the Qiankun Ring and pushed it in front of Shi Fenglan. Jiang Beiran said, "It's inside."
"hey-hey."
Shi Fenglan smiled happily, opened the lid and took a deep breath.
“It smells so good~”
After being satisfied, Shi Fenglan handed the blue bottle to Jiang Beiran: "Xiao Beiran, can you help me brew it? The one I brewed is not as delicious as yours."
"Go and boil the water."
"Put it on me, I'm the best at boiling water~" Shi Fenglan said and immediately ran to boil water.
While Jiang Beiran was placing tea sets, Wu Qingce and Qu Yangze walked in from the courtyard outside. As soon as they saw their senior brother, they immediately came over and saluted: "Senior Brother (Master)."
Nodding, Jiang Beiran said: "There is news from Qing Huan, you can come with me to see it tomorrow."
When Wu Qingce heard that he finally had something to do, he and Qu Yangze immediately raised their hands and said, "Yes."
"How was the result of today's sparring session?"
Yesterday, Jiang Beiran discovered that this flying residence has another advantage, that is, it is very suitable for discussion.
The courtyard outside is not only fully able to withstand the destructive power of Qi Qu Yangze and Wu Qingce, but it will also automatically repair itself. It is simply a perfect arena.
Hearing the senior brother's question, Wu Qingce raised his hand and replied: "During our discussion today, I discovered that flying thunder can also interfere with junior brother Qu's detection ability, making it more difficult for him to find my traces in the flying thunder aura."
The name Feilei was given by Jiang Beiran to Wu Qingce's new thunder spirit.
Because the biggest characteristic of this purple thunder aura is that it makes Wu Qingce change faster, so the first word that came to Jiang Beiran's mind was.
【Flying Thunder】
Wu Qingce was very happy when he heard it. He bowed and thanked his senior brother for the name and silently recited it several times. From time to time, he also made two concave shapes to match it, as if he was suffering from a middle school disease.
After listening to Wu Qingce's words, Jiang Beiran looked at Qu Yangze and asked, "What does it feel like when you are disturbed by flying thunder?"
Qu Yangze thought for a moment and replied: "The surroundings feel very noisy, and the information fed back by the tentacles is also very messy, just like a piece of cake broken into crumbs."
Although Qu Yangze's metaphor is a bit strange, Jiang Beiran understands his meaning very well.
'It sounds a bit like magnetic field interference...if it is developed, it should not only be able to interfere with the opponent's detection capabilities.'
Then Jiang Beiran looked at Qu Yangze and said, "What about you, have you discovered anything new about your body?"
Qu Yangze nodded, stretched out his right hand in front of Jiang Beiran and said, "Master, look at it."
As soon as Qu Yangze finished speaking, he saw a very brightly colored mushroom growing out of his arm, which looked chubby.
‘Why has it changed from the insect system to the plant system...’
After carefully observing the mushroom on Qu Yangze's arm, Jiang Beiran was convinced of one thing.
This is definitely a highly poisonous mushroom that can make you lie down immediately after one bite. However, he searched his information database and could not find any information about this mushroom. It is very likely that it is a new species.
Seeing that Master was looking at it carefully, Qu Yangze immediately stretched out his left hand and pulled out the mushroom on his right arm. He handed it to Master with both hands and said, "Master, here it is."
Taking the mushroom, Jiang Beiran observed it carefully and asked, "What can you use it for?"
Qu Yangze immediately replied: "After eating this mushroom, my physical abilities will be strengthened in some way, and different mushrooms will have different effects."
After Qu Yangze finished speaking, several more mushrooms grew on his right arm, including red umbrellas, blue umbrellas, purple umbrellas, etc.
'Good guy...you produce and sell it yourself? Super Mario is making you cry.'
Of course, this mushroom is obviously a tonic for Qu Yangze, but for others, it is an absolute poison.
"What else?" Jiang Beiran continued to ask.
"I can still control them to explode." After Qu Yangze finished speaking, he picked off another mushroom on his arm, but looked around and said, "Master, let me go out and explode it for you."
"Okay." Jiang Beiran nodded and stood up.
At this moment, his curiosity was also aroused. Since the two of them completed their transformation, each one looked more like a "treasure boy" than the other, and they could always dig out something new.
"Water is here! Huh!? Xiao Beiran, where are you going?" Shi Fenglan, who ran back with a teapot, asked curiously.
"Look at the mushrooms, are you coming?" Jiang Beiran replied.
"Mushrooms?" Shi Fenglan blinked twice, then nodded quickly and said, "I want to see, I want to see."
After saying that, he put down the teapot and followed Jiang Beiran.
Arriving in the backyard, Qu Yangze picked a purple mushroom from his arm and looked at Jiang Beiran and said, "Master, can I start?"
"Um."
Seeing that his master agreed, Qu Yangze threw the mushroom into the air.
Then there was a "bang" sound, and the purple mushrooms turned into countless powders and exploded.
'Poison powder...no, this is a spore.'
After seeing these purple powders clearly, Jiang Beiran instantly understood what they were.
To put it simply, spores are reproductive cells that develop into new individuals after being separated from their parents. In fact, they are similar to pollen and are used for reproduction.
In the spirit of dedicating himself to science, Jiang Beiran stepped forward and walked into the purple spore powder.
Wu Qingce couldn't help but gasped when he saw this.
Although he didn't know what this powder was, he instinctively felt that these powders were very dangerous during the battle just now, and he didn't dare to get stuck on them at all. So when he saw his senior brother walking in without caring at all, he just
I can sigh in my heart.
'As expected of senior brother... so strong!'
Shi Fenglan was eager to give it a try, but just when she was about to go in and play with Xiao Beiran, she heard Xiao Beiran shouting.
"do not come."
Hearing Xiao Beiran shout this, Shi Fenglan had no choice but to step back in disappointment and continue to watch.
'This spore... is indeed completely different from what I imagined.'
Standing among the spores, Jiang Beiran inhaled a large number of spores into his body every time he breathed. As soon as these spores entered his body, they immediately became active. The intention was obvious and simple.
