I Just Won't Play By The Book

Chapter 93 Women’s War

No matter what, he still had to give face to Order Master Zhang in front of the crowd. Jiang Beiran answered with a “Yes” and stood in the Order of Blue Heart’s disciples. This time, the Order of Blue Heart sent out a total of six disciples including Jiang Beiran. Among them, there were two people competing in Go, two people competing in martial arts, one person competing in sword arts, and one person competing in leg arts. From the selection of the members, it could be seen that the competition events of this year’s gathering of young heroes were very complicated. They specialized in sword arts, saber arts, palm arts, and so on.

However, general match was still the most popular. In the general match, the disciples could use any kinds of weapons and moves to fight their opponents. The final winner would naturally be the strongest of all the disciples. Compared to the six people from the Order of Blue Heart, there were many more people from the Order of Water Mirror. After all, there were dozens of disciples of Order of Water Mirror participated the pipa, erhu, xiao, flute, se, and guqin musical instruments competition. In addition to the choir and the martial arts competition, there were a total of twenty-eight disciples. Order of Water Mirror had the most disciples participated in the competition.

“Brother Jiang, I hope you can give me some pointers on the way there.” Seeing that Jiang Beiran was standing next to her, Mo Xia said in a low voice.

As a named disciple who had not been in the order for a long time, not to mention the female disciples of the Order of Water Mirror who had never seen Jiang Beiran, there were even quite a number of disciples from the Order of Blue Heart who had not seen him before, but this did not include Mo Xia. Mo Xia was another Go player sent by the Order of Blue Heart. As a disciple who had often gone playing in Order of Water Mirror before the cooperation with Order of Blue Heart, he had seen Jiang Beiran many times before. However, he had limited understanding of Jiang Beiran because Jiang Beiran was not playing with the other disciples. Instead, he was playing against Etiquette Protector Cheng.

Etiquette Protector Cheng’s standard was publicly acknowledged by all the disciples of the Order of Blue Heart. He could even win in a 1 vs 100 match. Therefore, Mo Xia was very curious of Jiang Beiran whose strength was acknowledged by the Order of Blue Heart.

Seeing that Mo Xia had taken the initiative to speak up, Jiang Beiran replied, “I don’t think I can give you pointers, but we can have a match.”

Jiang Beiran also had some impression of this Mo Xia. Last year, when he was playing Go with Etiquette Protector Cheng, Etiquette Protector Cheng had mentioned that a very talented new disciple had recently arrived, which was Mo Xia. Etiquette Protector Cheng mentioned that Mo Xia might become a good opponent for him in the future.

Etiquette Protector Cheng’s foresight was indeed unique. Even though Mo Xia had only joined the Order of Blue Heart for a year, he was able to become a Go player with Jiang Beiran to participate the gathering of young heroes. This showed how fast he was improving

As for the other four disciples of the Order of Blue Heart, they had no impression of Jiang Beiran at all. After all, their main focus was martial arts. Just like the four college entrance examinees, they had definitely heard of the best student in the mock exam in their grade. They might have heard of which class the students were particularly strong in mathematics, but they would not pay attention to the students who played the zither or chess exceptionally well. This was because they had different priorities and they would not have much interaction.

“Clang… Clang…” When the bell on the peak stopped ringing, Zhang Heqing jumped down from the rock and said to the people of the Order of Blue Heart, “Go up the mountain.”

Because the main peak was dedicated to the ancestral temple of the previous sect masters, no one who came to Qiyun Peak was allowed to walk in the air. In addition, no one was allowed to use their cultivation strength while climbing the mountain, so they had to climb up step by step.

On the other side, Yu Manwen also gave the order to Order of Water Mirror’s disciples to go up the mountain, so the disciples of the two orders walked toward the mountain path together.

However, as they climbed, the number of disciples on the Order of Water Mirror’s side increased.

“Junior Sister Ye, be careful of your step. The road of Qiyun Peak was very bumpy. It was really challenging to climb up to mountain. Be careful not to fall.”

“Thank you, Brother Lin. You really know a lot.”

“It’s alright… It’s all useless knowledge.”

“How could it be? I feel that knowing a little of everything will come in handy. Look, aren’t you helping me now?”

“It’s my honor to be able to help you!”

“Come. You take my path. I’ve checked before coming here. It’s best to go this way.” “Wow, Brother Yan, you’ve prepared well. You’re so meticulous.”

“It’s alright. Junior Sister Ye, you flatter me.”

“Junior Sister Ye, don’t listen to his nonsense. This fellow only knew this path because he came here last time.”

“Lin! Are you trying to mock me again? I just discovered this path the day before yesterday. Are you not convinced?”

“Why? Do you want to fight?”

“I don’t want to see the two of you fight because of me. Can you stop arguing?”

“We’ not fighting.”

“We’re just bickering. Junior Sister Ye, don’t worry.”

“Hiss…”

Looking at the scene in front of him, Jiang Beiran decisively slowed down his footsteps and distanced himself from the crowd. There was nothing he could do. The scent of hormones mixed with the fragrance of tea was too strong, and it was a little too much for him to handle.

As he retreated, he saw that Liu Zijin and the other three were surrounded by quite a number of valiant male disciples. Jiang Beiran was instantly glad that he had drawn a clear line with them the last time.

Initially, he was worried about how he would receive Liu Zijin and the others’ sudden greeting, but now it seemed like he was overthinking it.

“No wonder the system didn’t give me any option when I came here. It seems that they have long forgotten about me. Thank goodness, thank goodness.” By the time they reached the halfway point of the mountain, the team of the Order of Water Mirror was getting tired. Almost every female disciple had a male disciple followed them, asking about their well-being. It could be said that it highlighted how united and loving a disciple of the Sect of Returning Hearts was. “Junior Sister Ye, are you thirsty? I brought some honey water. Do you want to try it?”

“Brother Lin is thoughtful, but I’m not thirsty

yet.”

“Okay, call me if you’re thirsty. I’ll help you ice it first.”

“Thank you.”

After thanking Brother Lin, Ye Xincai looked in the direction of Liu Zijin again.

“Hmph, she really knows how to put on an act. She clearly refused to let go of Brother Kong and even tried to seduce Brother Pang, yet she still put on a pure and innocent look. These senior brothers are really stupid. They were deceived by her bewitching appearance.”

As the former “Flower of the Order of Water Mirror”, Ye Xincai could be said to be the dream girl of all the male disciples of the Sect of Returning Hearts. Many male disciples were willing to wait at the entrance of the Order of Water Mirror for a day just to see her.

In addition, the young talents in the Order of Water Mirror would also look for all sorts of opportunities to curry favor with her, including the most powerful person in the Order of Water Mirror, Kong Annan. So what if she had already obtained the title of ( Army Breaking Spear ) at such a young age? Wasn’t she still subservient to her?

However, after Liu Zijin entered the order, everything changed. That Kong Annan no longer came to greet her every day. Instead, he circled around Liu Zijin. In addition, the few senior brothers who usually came to visit her also changed their routes to find Liu Zijin.

Previously, those who surrounded Liu Zijin were the most elite young disciples in the sect. Now, there were only some weaker senior brothers surrounded around Ye Xincai, because they knew they couldn’t compete with the stronger senior brothers in pursuing Liu Zijin.

Thinking of this, the jealousy in Ye Xincai’s heart burned even more fiercely.

“Hu…”

Letting out a long breath, Ye Xincai’s eyes suddenly looked at Jiang Beiran who was following far behind.

“Although it’s unlikely, Liu Zijin seems to have a different feeling towards this nameless disciple of the Order of Blue Heart…”

When everyone looked at Jiang Beiran curiously, only Ye Xincai stared at her ‘nemesis’ and noticed that Liu Zijin’s gaze when she looked at Jiang Beiran was different from the other male disciples.

“Maybe she’s just curious? No, it’s not that simple… Hmph, let me try something.”

After Ye Xincai left the group, she turned around and walked towards Jiang Beiran under the puzzled gazes of her senior brothers.

“Hello… if I remember correctly, you are Brother Jiang, right?” As she spoke, Ye Xincai glanced at Liu Zijin out of the corner of her eyes. Then, she realized that it was not only Liu Zijin, but the four female disciples beside her who also turned around at the same time. Although they quickly pretended to look around casually, Ye Xincai was sure that they did turn around and look at Jiang Beiran at the same time.

“Oh ho… interesting.”

After confirming that her guess was correct, Ye Xincai immediately revealed an even more charming smile to Jiang Beiran.

“F*ck! Why did this woman come looking for me…?!

Among the female disciples of the Order of Water Mirror, Jiang Beiran could tell that this woman had the strongest “battle strength”. He had clearly retreated so far away, how could he still attract her attention?

“Does she have a collecting fetish? Is he only satisfied when she takes down all the male disciples in the Order of Blue Heart?’

The way Jiang Beiran was thinking turned into a flattered look in Ye Xincai’s eyes. Almost every time she greeted a male disciple she didn’t know, the other party would be so shocked that he would be stunned.

“I saw that you haven’t been following us, so I came over to see if you need help… Aiya!” Ye Xincai said as she walked towards Jiang Beiran’s direction. Her feet suddenly slipped, and she fell towards Jiang Beiran’s direction.

At the same time, three options popped up in front of Jiang Beiran’s eyes.

[ Option 1: Hug Ye Xincai. Reward for completion: Seal of the Myriad Army (earth grade middle tier)]

( Option 2: Hold Ye Xincai. Reward for completion: Dragon Claw (black grade high tier))

[ Option 3: Dodge quickly. Reward for completion: Random basic attribute points + 1]
