"This Yingjie Youth Association is a comprehensive competition. In addition to martial arts, music, calligraphy, painting, and chess must be tested one by one. In the end, the sect with the highest total score will win, and the Lan Yue Sect will be the winner this time.
In order to show off, it’s a huge amount of blood, and very attractive rewards have been prepared for the leader of each project.”
"Others may not know it, but when it comes to playing chess, let alone Jiangbei District, even the entire Fengzhou can't find a young disciple who can compete with you, so this time I decided to let you represent our Guixin Sect in participating in the game of playing chess.
A competition."
Just as Jiang Beiran was about to speak, he saw the system options pop up.
[Option 1: Reject Zhang Heqing directly. Completion reward: Jiangyun Holy Seal (prefecture level top grade)]
[Option 2: Persuade the sect leader not to participate in this matter. Completion reward: Eight Consciousness Return to Origin Method (Xuan-level top grade)]
[Option 3: Leave Gui Xin Sect. Completion reward: Fantasy Sea Treasure Record (Xuan level low-grade)]
[Option 4: Agree to this. Completion reward: Random basic skill point +1]
‘Damn!? What are you doing!?’
Looking at the four options in front of him, Jiang Beiran was suddenly confused. It had been a long time since he had encountered the prefecture-level high-level options. Combined with the following two options, if he couldn't go back this time, Guixin Sect would most likely...
The family was directly wiped out!?
‘Is this Banyue Sect hosting the Hongmen Banquet!?’
However, Jiang Beiran did not let his shocked emotions show. Instead, after choosing four, he agreed: "Disciple accepts the order."
"Oh, don't refuse in a hurry. What happened this time... huh!? You agreed!?" Zhang Heqing looked at Jiang Beiran in shock and asked.
Zhang Heqing had already thought up several excuses, and secretly vowed that no matter what excuse Jiang Beiran came up with this time, he would force him to go, but he didn't expect that he would just agree...
"Yes, it is the disciple's honor that the hall master is willing to entrust this important task to the disciple."
"Oops!" After hearing this, Zhang Heqing stood up and walked around the table to Jiang Beiran, patting him on the shoulder and saying, "I know you are a sensible disciple! You know when to stand up for the sect.
Come out, this hall master is very pleased!"
"The hall master is ridiculous. Beiran has been cultivated by the Guixin Sect for many years. He should have done his best for the honor of the sect."
"Bei Ran, I didn't expect you..."
Hearing Zhang Heqing's voice suddenly choked with sobs, Jiang Beiran quickly looked up and found that Zhang Heqing was wiping tears.
'It's not that big of a deal, boss...do you need to be moved to this extent?'
Standing up quickly, Jiang Beiran really didn't know what to do for a while. He should comfort the hall master, he felt weird, and help the hall master wipe his tears, it would feel even weirder.
Seeing Jiang Beiran's helpless look, Zhang Heqing wiped away his tears and said: "I lost my composure for a moment. I always thought you were disrespectful, unruly, and only relied on your talents..."
"Master, Master! Can we skip the derogatory part and just praise it? I know I'm wrong."
"Okay, okay." Nodding, Zhang Heqing said with emotion: "It seems that I misunderstood you in the past. In fact, you still regard the sect as your home in your heart."
"That's natural. If there was no Guixin Sect, the disciple would have died outside long ago. For the sake of the sect, the disciple is willing to go through fire and water!"
"I'm really touched that you have such a heart. Sit down."
Sitting back in his seat, Zhang Heqing took a sip of hot tea and calmed down for a while before continuing: "This birthday party for the master of the Hidden Moon Sect is scheduled for mid-September. Although I know that you are a superb chess player, I still hope that
If you can practice hard for a while during this period, it will always be right to take it seriously."
"yes."
'Mid-September...that means there are still nearly two months left, so I have to make more preparations. Judging from the difficulty of this option, if I am not prepared enough, I will probably hit the lowest limit in the city.
It's an option for Huang level or even Xuan level.'
Seeing Jiang Beiran's serious thinking look on his face, Zhang Heqing felt a deep sense of comfort.
After pouring himself another cup of tea, Zhang Heqing said, "Bei Ran."
"The disciple is here."
"You just said that you were helping Hall Master Shi take care of her flowers and plants?"
"Yes." Jiang Beiran nodded.
"Actually, I am quite knowledgeable about flowers and plants. How about I go with you another day? We can't just let you work hard for our church by yourself, right?"
"The hall master also likes flowers?"
"Don't they look the same?" Zhang Heqing asked, posing.
"Similar, very similar! The disciple is deeply touched that the hall master can be so considerate of his disciple."
"It should, it should. Then go and talk to Hall Master Shi about this tomorrow. If she agrees, I will go with you."
"Agree...? Agree to what?" Jiang Beiran asked doubtfully.
"Well..." Zhang Heqing hesitated for a moment before replying: "Since you have met Hall Master Shi, you should know that she is a little special, so the sect leader has set rules about the number and time of us senior leaders going to the Mirror Garden...
…There are some restrictions, but if you get permission from Hall Master Shi, it doesn’t matter.”
'I see……'
Jiang Beiran suddenly thought of those disciples who lined up at the entrance of the Mirror Garden every day.
'It's miserable...'
With a sigh in his heart, Jiang Beiran raised his hands and agreed: "Disciple understands."
Smiling and nodding, Zhang Heqing continued: "Are you satisfied with the training area that was designated for you in the back mountain?"
"Satisfied, quite satisfied, the spiritual energy is very sufficient, the hall master has taken the trouble."
"You have done so much for Lan Xintang, and this is all what you should do. Also, I remember you said you wanted some Lei Gong Tan, right?"
‘…’
'So I have said it... Hall Master, you are abusing your private power!!!'
Whether it is forging or alchemy, it is inseparable from the crucial condition of heat, and Thunder Charcoal is a very good combustion aid. It can not only produce high temperatures that ordinary charcoal fire cannot reach, but also make the surrounding spiritual energy more active.
This will make the refined elixir more effective.
However, this kind of Lei Gong Tan is considered a rarity even in the entire Guixin Sect, and most of it has been divided up by Yishan Hall Baizhang Hall, so as a disciple of Lanxin Hall, it is really difficult to apply for this.
But now... a certain hall master is obviously using his power to open a back door for him.
Sighing in his heart, Jiang Beiran nodded and said, "Yes, I have wanted this for a long time."
"Okay, since you still want it, then I will help you find a way."
"Thank you, Master."
"Well, that's it, come on, drink tea, it's already cold."
After three minutes of drinking, Jiang Beiran left the room as Zhang Heqing said "More snacks" and turned around to look at the bright starry sky. Jiang Beiran couldn't help but shake his head.
