Chapter 72 Unexpectedly, the Hall Master still has two faces
Looking at the mental method book on the table in front of him, Jiang Beiran didn't understand anything.
He wondered why his senior brother would suddenly ask for pills from him. It turned out that the purpose was to have a legitimate reason to give the magic to him.
Because Jiang Beiran did not reveal his strength to his senior brother, in Lu Bogui's eyes, Jiang Beiran was a weak junior brother who had only been at the fifth level of Qi training for five years.
So his senior brother who brought him into the sect had to do something.
Jiang Beiran did not refuse the kindness of his senior brother. He accepted the book and saluted: "Thank you, senior brother."
"Thank you, it's an equal exchange." Lu Bogui said and took a sip of hot tea. "Besides, I have to retreat for a while recently. If anything happens, you can go to Senior Brother Qu first."
Jiang Beiran, who had just picked up the teacup, immediately asked: "Senior brother is about to break through?"
"That's not true. I just have a new understanding of the technique and want to concentrate on practicing it for a while."
"Then I wish you all the best, senior brother."
If there is a breakthrough in cultivation, Jiang Beiran can still find a way to help, but he has nothing to help with in terms of moves. Basically, he can only figure this out on his own.
Then the two chatted some more about family matters, and then Jiang Beiran stood up and left.
'Senior Brother, we should be close to a breakthrough after this retreat. We should make preparations as early as possible.'
Thinking about the missing phoenix flower in the materials, Jiang Beiran decided not to return to Lanxintang, which had changed greatly, and walked directly towards Shuijingtang.
…
"Master, someone is visiting."
In the Tinglan Waterside Pavilion, Shi Fenglan, who was bored, heard Xiao Duo say someone was visiting, and quickly stood up and asked, "Is it Xiao Beiran here?"
"No...it's Tan Yinghao, the protector of Luan Xing Hall."
"Tch~" Shi Fenglan, who was crotch-faced, suddenly raised her mouth and replied: "Just say I'm not here."
"But Protector Yu said that if there are senior officials from other churches coming to visit, even if it is just a courtesy, it is best to..."
"Okay, okay, I understand. Let him wait for me in the main hall."
"Yes." Xiaoduo responded happily and stepped out.
Arriving at the gate, Xiaoduo saluted Tan Yinghao and said, "Guardian Tan, please follow me into the main hall first. The hall master will come later."
"It's time to work."
Nodding, Tan Yinghao followed Xiaoduo and walked in.
"Hey...are these flowers much more beautiful than the last time I came here?"
As soon as he entered the main hall, Tan Yinghao asked in surprise.
"Well, I have read some flower books recently, and I know how to take care of these flowers better than before."
"Then you are really talented. These are all rare flowers, and they are very difficult to maintain."
"Actually it's not bad."
While Tan Yinghao was admiring the flowers and chatting with Xiaoduo, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Guardian Tan, why did you come to see our hall master today?"
Hearing Shi Fenglan's voice, Tan Yinghao turned around and was about to salute, but found that Shi Fenglan today was a little different from the past.
The beauty is still very beautiful. In front of me, Shi Fenglan is walking quietly on silk shoes, with a tortoiseshell head, a slim waist, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that are still as breathtaking as ever, but...
'Why don't you wear that deep-breasted coat with a particularly open neckline today?'
"Protector Tan?"
Hearing Xiaoduo's reminder, Tan Yinghao knew that he had been rude and quickly bowed and said: "Today I came to Hall Master Shi to discuss some important matters on the order of the Hall Master."
"Could it be that... Hall Master Li also wants to work with me, Shuijing Hall, to develop together?"
"Uh..." Tan Yinghao was stuck for a moment, but he quickly nodded and said, "This is indeed why I came here."
"Then I'm afraid Protector Tan's trip will be in vain. I, the Shuijing Hall, have no intention of cooperating with other halls for the time being."
"Please also ask Hall Master Shi to listen to my conditions before rejecting them."
"No need, I have heard many of the conditions. However, I have no intention of cooperating with other halls now, so I ask Protector Tan not to waste time."
Hearing Shi Fenglan's refusal so forcefully, Tan Yinghao had no choice but to give up, and then left after chatting about some trivial matters within the clan.
When Xiaoduo came back after seeing off the guests, he saw that the hall master who had been so domineering in persuading Tan Yinghao to retreat was already lying on the table in boredom. He couldn't help but chuckled and said: "If Protector Yu sees the momentum of the hall master just now, he will definitely praise you.
of."
"Oh~ I'm so tired. Why doesn't Xiao Beiran come today? I want to eat fish, oh no, I want to row a fist!"
"Didn't Senior Brother Beiran say yesterday that there was..."
Just as Xiaoduo was mid-sentence, she heard a knock on the door.
"I'll open the door."
"Well, go ahead, go ahead." Shi Fenglan replied feebly. It was because senior officials from the other halls had visited too many times recently, which made her a little tired.
However, just when she was about to stand up again and regain her previous momentum as the hall master, she suddenly heard a voice that she had been waiting for for a long time.
At the door, Jiang Beiran had just finished greeting Xiaoduo when he saw a fiery red figure rushing out.
"Xiao~Bei~ran~"
Jiang Beiran quickly ducked aside, then saluted Shi Fenglan, who was overcoming him, and said, "Greetings to Hall Master Shi."
Shi Fenglan, who didn't pounce on Jiang Beiran, raised her lips and said, "Why didn't you come to play with me yesterday!"
"Reporting to the Hall Master, yesterday I told Xiaoduo that I had something to do and went down the mountain, so..."
"No matter! You told Xiaoduo, but you didn't tell me! You have to play with me for half a day longer today to make up for what you did yesterday."
"No problem, but I have to take care of the flowers first."
"Let's play first! Let's play first! Xiaoduo has already watered the flowers in the morning."
"No, let's do business first. This is our agreement."
"Okay~ Then hurry up."
So under Shi Fenglan's expectant eyes, Jiang Beiran took care of the flowers in the courtyard, especially the bright red phoenix flower.
'Hmm... depending on the situation, we will be able to pollinate them soon. Alas, these exotic flowers are so precious and none of them can be propagated by cuttings, which is really troublesome.'
Seeing Jiang Beiran stand up, Shi Fenglan, who had been following behind for a long time, quickly asked: "Are you okay? Are you okay?"
After patting the mud on his hands, Jiang Beiran turned around and said, "Well, okay, besides, today I brought you a new way to play dice."
"New gameplay!" Shi Fenglan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Teach me quickly, teach me quickly!"
Walking to the table, Jiang Beiran waved to Xiaoduo and said, "Come on, Xiaoduo, it's more fun for the three of us together."
"Me?" Xiaoduo asked, pointing to herself.
"Um."
As Jiang Beiran spoke, he took out a square piece of cardboard from the Qiankun Ring, and at the same time took out twelve character models of different shapes.
Looking at the exquisite little figures, Shi Fenglan exclaimed: "Wow, did you carve these yourself, Beiran?"
"Well, if Hall Master Shi likes it, I can give you a few."
"Really!? I want it, I want it!" Grabbing a female warrior holding a chain, Shi Fenglan looked at the colorful cardboard and asked Jiang Beiran: "What is this gameplay called?"
