After following the maid through a long corridor, Jiang Beiran suddenly saw a huge castle in the air, no, it should be said to be a castle on the sea.
I saw clear spring water floating in the air, and the pavilion floating on the sea.
But not a drop of spring water fell.
Jiang Beiran observed it for a long time, but he didn't see any function of this structure. It was just purely fancy, and the beauty was indeed full.
Following the maid, he jumped up to Canglan Mansion. When Jiang Bei landed, he saw a domineering plaque with three words written on it.
【Canglan Mansion】
'It feels like opening a hidden map.'
After using his mental power to perceive for a while, Jiang Beiran finally discovered that the Tiandu Formation had hidden this area, so he had never seen this magnificent building. In addition, Jiang Beiran discovered that this place was not only the Tiandu Formation, but also the Tiandu Formation.
There was something else, but Jiang Beiran couldn't continue to crack it.
'Oh, my talent and learning are lacking.'
With a sigh in his heart, Jiang Beiran once again looked at the Canglan Mansion in front of him.
It is seven stories high, and each floor reveals a very classical sense of vicissitudes of life, which makes people calm down at the first sight, and can be said to be full of artistic sense.
There is a water curtain in front of the door. If you look at it for a few more times, you will feel like you are being sucked in.
"Jiang Xianpai, please wait a moment, I will go and report." At this time, the maid saluted Jiang Beiran.
Jiang Beiran nodded after hearing this.
After saluting Jiang Beiran again, the maid walked towards the water curtain.
After a while, the water curtain suddenly parted from the middle, revealing a passage.
Before the maid could speak, she saw Shi Weiyi walking out quickly.
"Finally, your boy is here. Come in with me."
Seeing Shi Weiyi's enthusiastic look, Jiang Beiran felt a little hairy, but before he could react, Shi Weiyi grabbed him and pulled him in.
It's quite late to explain, and it feels like getting in the car quickly.
'What a rich aura...'
The moment he entered Canglan Mansion, Jiang Beiran felt a strong spiritual energy, and it was not an ordinary spiritual energy.
'It's actually water spiritual energy. This Canglan Mansion is really extravagant.'
At the same time, Jiang Beiran also understood that the Canglan Mansion floating on the water was not as simple as being fancy, but was affected by the water aura.
While walking and observing, Jiang Beiran was taken to the top floor by Shi Weiyi. When he pushed open a very heavy-looking carved dragon door, Jiang Beiran felt an extremely powerful pressure coming towards him.
In this huge meeting hall, there was a long rectangular table, and people were sitting around it. Although these people did not release any profound energy, their aura alone told Jiang Beiran that they had great backgrounds.
"Shi Shengxian, is this young man the youngest guest of the Shi family in your mouth?" At this time, an old man sitting in the seat opened one eye and asked.
Arching his hands towards the old man, Shi Weiyi said: "As for the Immortal Lord, it is true that his name is Jiang Beiran, and he is the youngest guest of my Shi family."
‘Immortal Lord?’
Putting aside the title that makes one feel like a big shot at first sight, one can tell from Shi Weiyi's respectful attitude that this old man's status is quite high.
Moreover, Jiang Beiran had already scanned the people around the table and found that none of them were senior members of the Shi family, so there was only one explanation.
That is, everyone here is a high-ranking person from Tong State.
'It seems that this Gu cultivator is really powerful. He has actually forced all these top people to gather together.'
Seeing that the Immortal Lord was looking at him, Jiang Beiran saluted him and said, "Junior Jiang Beiran, I have met all the seniors."
Jiang Beiran couldn't help but think when he found that none of the big shots present had any reaction.
'This is fine in Tong country. Logically speaking, someone should jump out and sneer now, ha! I thought your Shi family accepted some kind of guest minister, it looks like this! Such and such, I didn't expect...'
"Ah!"
Just when Jiang Beiran was praising him in his heart, a sneer suddenly came.
Looking along the sound of "ha", I saw a middle-aged man smiling and saying: "I thought your Shi family accepted some kind of guest, but it looks like this!"
?
'Your latency is so high.'
Making a complaint in his mind, Jiang Beiran looked at Shi Weiyi,
After all, there is no grievance or enmity. There is a high probability that this person's provocative words were not directed at him, but at the Shi family.
Sure enough, Shi Weiyi's expression remained normal after hearing this provocation, as if he had expected it.
"Really? Then why not let your new guest come out to compete? If we lose, I will give you the land in Shuangcheng."
After hearing this, the middle-aged man slammed the table and stood up and said, "Okay! It's a deal! Don't go back on your word."
‘What the hell!?’
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran wanted to go up and shout: "I never said anything about competing!"
But the situation is stronger than the person. If he shouts this, even if it is a heavy slap on Shi Weiyi's face, it will also be a slap on the Shi family's face.
'That bitch plotted against me again, just wait. If the benefits are not enough afterwards, I will definitely make you happy.'
After hearing the middle-aged man's promise, Shi Weiyi seemed not satisfied. He looked around the crowd and said, "Anyone here who wants to bet with me can come with me. No matter how big or small, today I am Shi Weiyi."
All accepted!”
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but change their expressions, thinking: 'This Shi Weiyi is too crazy.'
This also includes Jiang Beiran.
'You're going to pretend to push yourself out! What's the point of pushing me in front?'
"Okay! Since you brought it to your door yourself, there's no reason why I won't accept it. Shi Weiyi, I'll bet you the land at Baishan Palace."
"In that case, then have fun and I'll bet too! I'll bet on the Phoenix Feather Sword that you won from me last time!"
…
After a while, a dozen people jumped out to accept Shi Weiyi's bet, and many of them obviously had old enemies.
After reading this, Jiang Beiran finally understood that Shi Weiyi's tendency to mess with himself was not directed at himself, but that this guy really had a sarcastic face.
At the same time, Jiang Beiran was a little confused as to what Shi Weiyi was thinking.
When he first provoked the family, Jiang Beiran could still guess that it was just a competition of Xuanyi, and he would never be allowed to compete in the ring.
But with so many provocations, Jiang Beiran felt really guilty.
After all, it’s not that he doesn’t have shortcomings in mystical arts. For example, he still hasn’t figured out the Qiankun Technique. If it really compares to this, let alone a ninth-grade Qiankun Master, even a fifth-grade one wouldn’t be able to master it.
Looking around, Jiang Beiran found that everyone else in the meeting hall was looking at the excitement. He imagined that someone would jump out and shout, "Okay, we are talking about business, what do you look like!"
The big shot didn't show up.
‘…’
After a while, Jiang Beiran, who was sure that this time was not delayed, looked at those who jumped out to take the bet.
As he expected, none of these people's eyes fell on him, but focused on Shi Weiyi.
"Come on, come on, sign and pledge, don't deny it if you lose."
'Is this bitch really so confident in me? Or does he have some way to win?'
But no matter what, as long as the system did not prompt Jiang Beiran to sit firmly on Diaoyutai, he would also watch with great interest what tricks Shi Weiyi could play.
Seeing those big shots with great aura lining up to sign the deeds, Jiang Beiran wanted to complain.
‘Aren’t these people here to discuss important matters in Tongguo? Or is it that the situation in Tongguo is not as miserable as I imagined, so these people are so free-minded?’
Just like this, after a while of burning incense, Shi Weiyi, holding a deed, walked back to Jiang Beiran, looked at the old man he just called the Immortal Lord, and saluted: "Immortal Lord, please invite me today."
You can bear witness, each and every one of these people has signed and pledged their names. If these people don’t admit their accounts when the time comes, you, the Immortal Lord, will have to uphold justice.”
The Immortal Lord stroked his beard and smiled for a while. He first glanced at Jiang Beiran and then said, "Okay, if this descendant is really as magical as you say, I will definitely uphold justice for you."
'Um?'
Listening to this Immortal Lord's words, Jiang Beiran suddenly understood something. It was obvious that Shi Weiyi had already blown him off just now, so why were so many people dissatisfied?
So it’s still the same sentence.
‘Why are you pretending to be on your own? Why do you want me to take the lead?’
After Shi Weiyi received the reply from the Immortal Lord, he immediately bowed and saluted: "Thank you so much, the Immortal Lord."
After saluting, Shi Weiyi turned around and looked at the senior officials of Tong State, shook the contract in their hands and said: "Okay, I believe you all remember where the alchemy room is. You can go back now and let your guests prepare. It will take an hour.
We’ll see you in the alchemy room later.”
After speaking, Shi Weiyi patted Jiang Beiran on the shoulder and said, "Let's go."
Jiang Beiran, who felt that he had gone through the motions for no apparent reason, said nothing and followed Shi Weiyi directly out of the meeting hall.
It wasn't until he walked out of Canglan Mansion and saw Shi Fenglan waiting outside that Shi Weiyi let out his standard laugh.
"Hohohoho, Beiran, Beiran, I did read you right. Even in such a situation where strong people gather together, he can remain calm in the face of emergencies. If only my child could have half the character of yours,
I can pass the position to him now, what a pity..."
"The sage is so complimentary. In fact, this junior is very scared. It's just that he was too nervous inside just now, so he didn't say a word."
"Hohoho, it's up to you. Whether you're too nervous or scared, in short, I'm here to help you with this bet. If you lose... of course, it's my fault, not yours."
'I believed your evil deeds.'
"Of course, I believe Beiran you can't lose." Shi Weiyi said as he led Jiang Beiran and jumped down from Canglan Mansion.
After landing, Shi Weiyi continued: "This bet is actually very simple. It's a comparison of alchemy and medical skills. It's completely in your hands, Bei Ran."
'Oh~'
After hearing this, and based on the various situations in the meeting hall just now, Jiang Beiran finally had the matter sorted out.
These high-level officials from Tong State must have gathered for this meeting for the purpose of cultivating evil spirits. When they were unable to do anything, Shi Weiyi probably moved himself out, which caused a burst of ridicule from the crowd.
This is what happened in the end.
'No wonder he dared to let me accept so many bets. It turned out that the competition was about the same thing. But didn't I just refine a yellow-level elixir for him, just to make him think that I am invincible in the field of alchemy?
Really? How dare you.'
But just like what Shi Weiyi said, no matter what he thinks now, the bet has been made, and even the venue has been arranged. No matter whether he can win the bet or not, he can't escape anyway.
"Forget it, I've done a lot of things with the title of Shi Jia Ke Qing, so I can't just take a salary and do nothing."
"Xiao Beiran! Are you going to compete with others!?"
Although Shi Fenglan didn't fully understand what was going on at this time, she could tell that Xiao Beiran was going to compete with others.
"Yeah." Jiang Beiran nodded.
"Okay!" Shi Fenglan cheered, "I will help you cheer up!"
Shi Weiyi laughed after hearing this, and said to Shi Fenglan: "Yes, it's time to work hard, Lan'er, go and call more people, this is our home court, we still need to have momentum."
‘You really don’t think it’s too big a deal to watch the fun… No… you always want to make big news.’
Shi Fenglan became excited as soon as she heard this, "Okay, I'll go get someone here now."
After saying "whoosh", he ran away.
Sighing in his heart, Jiang Beiran followed Shi Weiyi to Linglongfang.
Arriving at Yunling Pavilion, Shi Weiyi called out the owner Wan Herong, a seventh-grade alchemist. Jiang Beiran had met him several times before, but he hadn't spoken much.
"I have met the sage." Wan Herong saluted Shi Weiyi after going downstairs.
Nodding, Shi Weiyi responded: "Master Wan, I'm going to lend you this place to hold a competition. I don't know if it's convenient or not."
"Since the sage has spoken, it is naturally convenient." Wan Herong said with a smile.
"Okay, then please ask Master Wan for help and build a temporary competition venue. It doesn't need to be big, it can accommodate a dozen people."
"I wonder what we are trying to test?"
"Since I'm here with you, it's natural that I'm going to test the elixir."
"That's easy to handle. The Tianxiang room in the backyard is enough."
"Oh?" When Shi Weiyi heard that it was ready, he immediately said: "Okay, take me to have a look."
"Sage, please come this way."
"Jade~~~"
Just when Jiang Beiran was about to follow the two of them to the back of Yunling Pavilion, he heard a familiar shout, but the voice stopped abruptly when he saw Shi Weiyi.
Looking back at Liu Weining, who was standing there not knowing whether to advance or retreat, Jiang Beiran suddenly laughed secretly in his heart.
'I never expected that this little silly girl would be afraid of someone.'
In Jiang Beiran's impression, Liu Weining has always been heartless, and he has no sharp eyesight at all. He always has the same attitude towards everyone he sees.
Unexpectedly, I would be frightened by Shi Weiyi today.
After sizing up Liu Weining, Shi Weiyi thought for a moment before remembering: "You are the youngest daughter of the Liu family, right?"
After hearing this, Liu Weining quietly moved two steps to the side, then ran behind Jiang Beiran in one breath and nodded, "Well..."
Recognizing Liu Weining, Shi Weiyi didn't say much, patted Jiang Beiran on the shoulder and continued walking to the backyard.
After Shi Weiyi walked away, Liu Weining whispered in Jiang Beiran's ear: "He is a bad guy, a big bad guy."
Jiang Beiran wanted to laugh a little after hearing this, and responded in a low voice.
