Chapter 687 One more friend is better than one more enemy
He had a fight with Guo Xin and said that Jiang Beiran would return to Xu Meiying's manor after the next reunion.
The person who opened the door for him was Xu Ruxuan. As soon as Jiang Beiran saw her, he held up his hands and said, "Something happened unexpectedly just now. It's rude to leave the girl alone there."
Xu Ruxuan waved her hands immediately after hearing this, and then Jiang Beiran heard her voice in his head.
"It's okay, Master Jiang, don't worry about it at all."
Following Xu Ruxuan into the manor, Jiang Beiran noticed that the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, so he asked, "Where are your grandmother and the others?"
"Grandma, he has gone out to do something. He asked me to entertain you well."
‘…’
'Good guy, this reception sounds a bit unseemly.'
Feeling the enthusiasm of Xu Meiying's matchmaking again, Jiang Beiran shook his head and followed Xu Ruxuan into the room.
Then I heard Xu Ruxuan's voice in my head.
"Because I don't know when Master Jiang will come back, I haven't started cooking. Please wait a moment, and I will cook now."
After speaking, she went to the kitchen without waiting for Jiang Beiran's reply.
After a while, plates of steaming hot delicacies were served.
Jiang Beiran can give her a high score just for sex.
When a plate of salted duck was finally served, Xu Ruxuan took off her apron and handed a pair of chopsticks to Jiang Beiran and said: "Master Jiang, the dishes are here. That's all I know how to cook. You can just eat some."
Taking the chopsticks handed over by Xu Ruxuan, Jiang Beiran smiled and said, "It's already very good. Stop working so hard. Let's sit down and eat together."
"Okay." Xu Ruxuan agreed and sat down.
The thing on the table that most attracted Jiang Beiran's attention was not the beautiful side dishes, but the plate of roasted sweet potatoes.
Generally speaking, when people are invited to dinner, sweet potatoes are rarely put on the table. At least Jiang Beiran has never seen it before. Sweet potatoes are not even a "dish" at family banquets.
At this time, Xu Ruxuan's voice sounded in Jiang Beiran's head again.
"This sweet potato is a specialty here. It is very sweet. I have loved eating it since I was a child, so I thought of giving it to Master Jiang to try. If you don't like it, I will take it back to the kitchen."
"No need." Jiang Beiran shook his head, picked up a sweet potato and said, "I like eating this very much."
Touching the warm sweet potato in his hand, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but recall that when he was a child, what he looked forward to most on the way to school was to buy a roasted sweet potato to eat.
Cheap and plentiful, it's even more delicious than spicy strips.
The roasted sweet potatoes made by Xu Ruxuan should have been roasted buried in branches and leaves, and they were covered with grass ash.
Gently patting away some of the grass ash, Jiang Beiran found that the surface of the sweet potato was slightly crusty, which could be said to be the best state for roasting the sweet potato.
The skin was peeled off gently, and the rich sweet aroma instantly penetrated Jiang Beiran's nose.
Break the sweet potato into two halves, you can see that the color inside is attractive and the juice is ready to flow.
“Looks delicious.”
After complimenting Jiang Beiran, he took a bite.
'oh?'
After just one bite, Jiang Beiran discovered that this sweet potato was indeed different. It was as sweet as glutinous rice, as soft as persimmon, mellow and sweet.
Especially the layer of oil on the surface really highlights the special fragrance and sweetness.
"As expected of a specialty, it's really delicious." Jiang Beiran kept nodding.
Seeing that Jiang Beiran liked it, Xu Ruxuan smiled and said, "Master Jiang, just like it."
Just when Jiang Beiran closed his eyes and enjoyed the sweetness of roasted sweet potatoes, Xu Ruxuan's voice suddenly sounded in his head.
"Master Jiang, can I ask about what happened in the town just now?"
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran opened his eyes and said, "Of course, what do you want to ask?"
"That practitioner was so disrespectful to you, why did you let him go so easily?"
Breaking off a piece of sweet potato meat and putting it into his mouth, Jiang Beiran replied: "There are many ways to solve problems and conflicts in this world. Take what I just encountered as an example. Of course I can teach him a lesson myself, or find someone to compare with."
His more powerful people taught him a lesson, but such a lesson would only make him resentful and think that it was all my fault."
After hearing this, Xu Ruxuan thought for a moment and asked again.
"But he is just a young disciple, so he shouldn't be able to threaten you, right?"
"This can be said from two aspects. First, this is my personal habit of doing things. Think about it, if I find a more powerful person to teach him a lesson, then there will be one more person in the world who hates me. But
If things are handled according to my method, then there will most likely be a person who respects me in this world."
"Which one do you think is better?"
After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he clapped his hands and took another sweet potato from the plate and peeled it open.
"Secondly, don't underestimate anyone. The so-called thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, do you dare to guarantee that he will always be a young disciple?"
Although the system no longer prompts, Jiang Beiran does not feel that this is entirely because he is already invincible, but also because over the years, he has learned how to avoid planting the seeds of disaster himself.
What he must understand now is that he has completed the role reversal.
He is no longer the young disciple who was worried that Heaven would send a group of strong men to surround and kill him, but has become a dragon in the eyes of the "Dragon Slayer".
As for whether he is a good dragon or an evil dragon, that is up to the dragon slayer.
So what he now has to guard against is not only enemies coming from the sky, but also those "little disciples" who seem to be able to be trampled to death with just one kick.
Otherwise, he would be too familiar with the subsequent plot.
'You think so, Yunshan, Han Feng, Soul Emperor.'
As for why he said so much to Xu Ruxuan, it was naturally because he had already planned to take this gifted girl under his wing.
You're a genius, who can have too much?
After listening to Jiang Beiran's answer, Xu Ruxuan first thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "Thank you Master Jiang, my little girl has learned a lesson."
After finishing a table of dishes, Jiang Beiran waited for a while and found that Xu Meiying and the others still hadn't returned.
But Jiang Beiran has a lot of things to be busy with at the moment, and he really doesn't have time to waste it here. Moreover, his trip here can be regarded as fulfilling his promise to Xu Meiying. Since they insist on pretending not to be at home, then
I had no choice but to be rude.
"Master Jiang, what do you want to eat tonight?"
At this time, Xu Ruxuan's voice sounded in Jiang Beiran's mind again.
Turning to look at Xu Ruxuan, Jiang Beiran replied: "There is no need for dinner. I have some things to do. Thank you for your hospitality today. The food is delicious."
Hearing that Jiang Beiran was about to leave, Xu Ruxuan was obviously stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and waved her hands: "Why are you leaving right now? If grandma finds out, she will definitely say that I did not entertain you well."
"It's okay, I'll go talk to your grandmother. Say goodbye."
After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he walked towards the outside of the manor.
"Hey! Master Jiang, where are you going?"
Just when Jiang Beiran came to the gate, he saw Xu Meiying walking towards him, her face full of surprise.
Jiang Beiran did not point out this "coincidence", and cupped his hands towards Xu Meiying and said: "Mother-in-law, you should also understand that I still have a lot of things to do, so I have to be rude and take the first step. In addition, my son's daughter is indeed extremely talented. If mother-in-law can rest assured,
If so, it’s okay to leave her by my side to take care of her, we just have to wait..."
After hearing Jiang Beiran's promise to take care of Nier, Xu Meiying immediately said, "Okay! Old lady, I believe Master Jiang is true to his word, so I'll let Nier wait at home. You
When you finish the work, you just pick her up."
"Okay, I'll take my leave now, junior."
After saying goodbye to Xu Meiying, Jiang Beiran contacted Shi Fenglan and drove Feifu over.
Although Xu Meiying trusted Jiang Beiran very much, it did not mean that she trusted everyone, so Jiang Beiran went to the farm alone.
After arriving at Fei Mansion, Jiang Beiran first found Dahu and asked, "How are the preparations going?"
Dahu, who was meditating, opened his eyes, took in all the ghost energy and replied: "My dear friend, please rest assured, there will be no problem this time!"
"Okay, let's start from this country."
"Yes!" Dahu agreed and left Feifu.
After Dahu left, Jiang Beiran took out the talisman, wrote a letter, and sent it away.
Not long after, there were three more people in Jiang Beiran's Fei Mansion.
"Meet Senior Brother (Master)"
Wu Qingce, Gu Qinghuan and Luo Wenzhou stood respectfully in front of Jiang Beiran and saluted.
"No need to be too polite." After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he looked at Wu Qingce and said, "What's wrong, Qingce, you don't seem to be in a high mood."
"Ah!?" Wu Qingce was obviously shocked, shook his head and said: "I didn't, I..."
Halfway through his words, Wu Qingce looked at his senior brother's playful eyes and knew that his acting skills were too poor.
'That's right... I actually wanted to deceive my senior brother. It's just a fool's errand.'
"well……"
Now that he was exposed, Wu Qingce stopped acting. He let out a long sigh and replied: "To be honest with you, senior brother... I... I have been trying my best to practice these days, but the more I practice... the more...
The more I feel that I am totally incompetent.”
"Why?"
"me……"
"When did you become such a mother-in-law?" Jiang Beiran raised his eyebrows and said with some dissatisfaction.
Seeing that he had made his senior brother angry, Wu Qingce immediately stood up straight and replied: "Nowadays, even the Xuan Sages of the Six Kingdoms all bow to my senior brother, so I... I feel that my cultivation has become meaningless."
Wu Qingce was really confused during this period. Not long ago, he firmly believed that he was the number one combat force accepted by his senior brother!
Therefore, he must practice hard to maintain his status as senior brother.
However, during this battle in Yuancheng, he realized how naive he was.
Although his cultivation speed did advance by leaps and bounds after obtaining Thunder Spiritual Energy, and he entered the Xuanhuang Realm at an astonishing speed.
However, his astonishing speed is only by Shengguo's standards.
In the Six Kingdoms, there are many geniuses who became Emperor Xuan before the age of twenty, which can be said to have seriously affected his self-confidence.
But even so, Wu Qingce didn't mean to give up on himself. He felt that he just started later than them. As long as his seniors are here, it is only a matter of time before he catches up with these geniuses from the Six Nations.
But when he went to Yuancheng, he found that even if he was as strong as Xuansheng, he still had to obey his senior brother's orders, which made him feel like he had lost all motivation.
That's Xuansheng...
They are also some of the strongest Xuansheng in the entire continent.
'What is the number one combat force under my senior brother...a joke.'
At that moment, Wu Qingce understood that as long as his senior brother was willing, he could easily make the entire Xuanlong Continent's powerful men crawl at his feet.
As for why this hit him so hard, it was because he knew a long time ago that he was not as resourceful as Qing Huan and could not detect as well as Wen Zhou.
The only thing that can be pointed out is that his cultivation level is higher than the two of them.
When his senior brother needs fighting strength, he still has a place.
But now even Xuansheng is the fighting force under senior brother, so what is the meaning of his existence?
Ever since he went to Yuan City, this problem has been haunting him, almost becoming a demon in his heart, so even though he tried his best to disguise it, his senior brother still saw through it at a glance.
"Alas..." Jiang Beiran sighed, reached out and patted Wu Qingce's shoulder and said, "Do you still remember what I said to you when I helped you change your physique last time?"
Wu Qingce was silent for a moment, clenched his fists and replied: "You must become stronger for yourself."
“If you know it, why are you confused?”
Wu Qingce clenched his fists tighter after hearing this, "But I became stronger just to help my senior brother!"
"Then work hard, I'm looking forward to your growth."
"But……"
"No need to, but although those Xuansheng were indeed willing to obey me in Yuan City, that was only for that moment. Now that the crisis has passed, they have returned to their thrones again. In their eyes, I am just
I'm just a competitor who wants to compete with them for territory. When the day comes when I really plan to run the world, I'll have to rely on you."
Wu Qingce was stunned after hearing this!
There was light in his eyes again.
"I understand, senior brother! I will definitely live up to your expectations!" Wu Qingce raised his head and looked directly at Jiang Beiran and shouted.
"Alas, but I still hope you will soon understand what it means to become stronger for your own sake."
"Is this... important?" Wu Qingce asked with some confusion.
"You have to wait until you realize it yourself."
"Did you include me among those of you just now?" At this moment, Venerable Wuxiang, who was not far away, suddenly interjected.
Jiang Beiran nodded: "If you are willing, forget it."
After hearing this, Venerable Wuxiang smiled sweetly: "Of course I am willing."
After solving Wu Qingce's inner demons, Jiang Beiran looked at Gu Qinghuan and said, "What's the current situation of the senior officials of Tan State?"
"They already know that my senior brother and I both came from the Gui Xin Sect. Now they should be discussing whether to let me enter their inner circle."
Jiang Beiran nodded after hearing this and asked, "Then do you think they will agree in the end?"
"Yes." Gu Qinghuan said confidently.
"That's good."
Jiang Beiran naturally trusted Gu Qinghuan 100%. Since he said he could do it, all Jiang Beiran had to do was let him go and do it without asking too many reasons.
Finally, Jiang Beiran looked at Luo Wenzhou and said, "Have you found your direction?"
Compared to Gu Qinghuan and Wu Qingce, Luo Wenzhou actually did not have any clear goals. Although he could successfully complete all the tasks assigned to him, when the tasks were completed, he would lose the direction of progress.
In other words... I haven't found a path that truly belongs to me yet.
