Chapter 220: This Emperor Was Something Else 2
These smaller forces would certainly quickly stand out and destroy the powerful sects that had not had time to react.
For example, the Sect of Returning Hearts would be one of them.
Unfortunately, the plan at Sect of Masked Moon had failed, and it had even aroused the vigilance of the two mystic masters. Jiang Beiran estimated that Deng Bo should have been so frightened that he could not sleep.
The following kidnapping of Mu Yao was probably Deng Bo’s plan. Unfortunately, it had been ruined by Jiang Beiran, which had left him in an extremely difficult situation.
“Alas, it’s tragic.”
Jiang Beiran actually quite admired this emperor. Things were not in her favor in the beginning, but he managed to hold up this long. He was something else.
But who asked him to want to stir up trouble in Fengzhou? Most importantly, he had accidentally provoked Jiang Beiran, who just want to live peacefully.
After knowing that Deng Bo was basically finished, Jiang Beiran said to Gu Qinghuan, “Now that the matter has been settled, please prepare a report for me. Please list the sects and demonic cult that disappeared in this purge and those that rose up.”
“Yes,” Gu Qinghuan said with cupped hands.
As for who would be the next emperor, Jiang Beiran didn’t care.
After Gu Qinghuan left, Jiang Beiran went back to the courtyard to play with his little cuties.
At noon, Jiang Beiran arrived at the Tinglan Waterside Pavilion and stepped into the main hall. He found that the Shi Fenglan today was a little different from the past.
She was wearing a white gauze dress, which gave people a clear and transparent feeling. A light purple gauze was draped over her shoulders. Her gauze danced as the wind blew, making her look like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world.

When the gauze strap fell, the gauze strap was once again attached to her body. Her delicate and exquisite figure was fully reflected. Jiang Beiran felt that Shi Fenglan had a mature charm. This charm contained a quarter of dignity, a third of heroic spirit, and some cuteness. Looking closely, there was a kind of charm that seeped out from her bones.
However, when she saw Jiang Beiran, the quarter of dignity and a third of heroic spirit on Shi Fenglan’s body turned into a very cute one. She jumped towards him.
“Little Beiran...”
“Stop.” Jiang Beiran reached out his hand to stop Shi Fenglan who wanted to pounce on him.
Meanwhile, Shi Fenglan seemed to be frozen in place.
“You look so nice. Are you going out?” Jiang Beiran asked.
“Hehe.” Shi Fenglan laughed. She grabbed the hem of her skirt and spun around. “Do I look nice?”
“Yes, it suits you very well.”
At this moment, Yu Manwen walked out from the main hall and said, “It’s rare to hear you praise someone.”
Glancing at Yu Manwen, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands and said, “Law Protector Yu, you look dazzling as well, take...”
However, Yu Manwen just waved her hand at the beginning and said, “Forget it, forget it. I’m really not used to you praising me. Just talk as usual.”
“Okay.” Jiang Beiran nodded with a smile.
After saying that, Jiang Beiran looked at Shi Fenglan again and asked, “So... Where are you going?”
Jiang Beiran, who came to Tinglan Waterside Pavilion almost every day, had never seen Shi Fenglan go out, so he was quite curious about her sudden departure.
After tidying up her clothes, Shi Fenglan replied, “Sect Master said that he has something to discuss with me. I intended to go there directly, but Manwen said that it’s better to dress formally.”
“Sect Master?”
Thinking of the information that Gu Qinghuan had just sent over, Jiang Beiran thought that Lu Yinlong probably knew about it as well. He felt that the true chaos in Fengzhou had just begun. So, Lu Yinlong decided to meet Shi Fenglan, the invisible guardian. He wanted to apply for the protection of the super faction behind her.
Speaking of the super faction behind Shi Fenglan, Jiang Beiran had triggered the option a few more times in the past half a year. The difficulty had been reduced to low tier of the black grade, and it seemed like he could get to know more about the super faction behind Shi Fenglan now. He might even get some easy attribute points.
However, Jiang Beiran had a guess as to why the difficulty was getting lower and lower, and that was because it was related to his strength.
The stronger he was, the less trouble he would be in if he knew more about Shi Fenglan’s background. For example, if he heard the words when he was weak, he might have been inexplicably attacked by some narrow-minded expert from some super faction.
Of course, this was only his guess. He could not be sure.
“Little Beiran, Little Beiran, why don’t we go together?” Shi Fenglan shouted.
“Why would I go if Sect Master is only looking for you? Nonsense.”
“Give me some advice. Sect Master suddenly wants to meet me, it’s definitely not a good thing. What if he bullies me?”
“...”
Shi Fenglan became an order master out of nowhere. Moreover, she did not have to go out once a year. She only had to stay in her place to eat, drink, and have fun every day. With such treatment, Jiang Beiran was sure that Lu Yinlong knew Shi Fenglan’s identity very well. He would definitely not cause any trouble to Shi Fenglan
However, Jiang Beiran felt that the relationship between Shi Fenglan and Sect of Returning Hearts was different from mutual beneficial relationship that Jiang Feng had imagined.
That was, if Shi Fenglan could really protect Sect of Returning Hearts as a guardian, then Jiang Beiran wouldn’t have to spend so much effort to resolve the chaos in Fengzhou. After all, even if those small-time factions came to Sect of Returning Hearts, they also had the super faction behind Shi Fenglan to protect him. What was there to be afraid of enemies?
Therefore, there was only one reason why Jiang Beiran still needed to interfere in these matters. That was, even if Sect of Returning Hearts was really beaten up one day, that super faction would just send someone to bring Shi Fenglan away. As for the survival of the Sect of Returning Hearts, they didn’t care at all.
“Sigh, Sect Master is not easy.”
Hence, Jiang Beiran could guess the reason why Lu Yinlong invited Shi Fenglan over at this time. It was possible that Lu Yinlong wanted to use Shi Fenglan to pull some strings so that he could talk to that super faction.
However, that wasn’t important. Jiang Beiran wouldn’t take the initiative to involve himself in this trouble anyway.
“Then... If you don’t want to go with me, just cook something delicious and wait for me to come back.”
Jiang Beiran immediately laughed when he heard this. He felt that Shi Fenglan was like a child asking for candy. He had to lay the groundwork before he could ask for it confidently.
“What do you want to eat?”
“Roast duck!” Shi Fenglan raised her hand and spoke.
“Okay, I’ll go and roast it now. Hurry up and go.”
“Yay!” Shi Fenglan cheered happily and ran towards the door.
“Order Master! I’ve just told you to pay attention to your manners! Don’t run!” Yu Manwen said as she chased after them.
After the two of them left, Jiang Beiran looked at Xiao Duo who was laughing secretly not far away and said, “Let’s go and roast some duck.”
“Okay!” Xiao duo replied happily.
Shi Fenglan had gone for much longer than Jiang Beiran had thought. The roast duck was almost cold, Shi Fenglan still had not returned.
“It’s a big meeting.’
Sighing inwardly, Jiang Beiran looked at Xiao Duo, who was already hungry, and said, “You eat first. When they come back, I’ll roast another one.”
Although the golden crispy skin of the roast duck almost made Xiao Duo drool, she still shook her head firmly and said, “Let’s wait for Order Master and the others to come back and eat together. I’m not hungry.”
“Alright.”
As soon as Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he heard the sound of the courtyard door being pushed open, followed by a weak shout.
“Little Beiran...”
Jiang Beiran stood up and walked out of the main hall. He looked at the dejected Shi Fenglan, then shifted his gaze to Yu Manwen and asked, “What happened?”
“Nothing. It’s just that the meeting has been a little long, and Order Master is a little tired.”
“It’s not just a little! I’ve never sat in a meeting for so long, alright? I’m so tired.” Shi Fenglan said as she came to Jiang Beiran’s side and grabbed his arm. “You have to carry me on your back.”
“The roast duck is ready. It’s in the kitchen.”
“Roast duck!” Shi Fenglan ran into the kitchen as soon as she heard it.
When Shi Fenglan ran back to the kitchen, Yu Manwen said, “At today’s meeting...”
However, before she could finish speaking, two options popped up in front of Jiang Beiran.
[ Option 1: Continue listening. Reward: Green Star Secret Art (middle-tier black-grade)]
[ Option 2: Interrupt Shi Fenglan’s words. Reward: Random basic skill points + 1]
After choosing option 2, Jiang Beiran said, “Don’t talk about work when you come back. Eat, eat.”
[ Chosen quest completed. Reward: Poison + 1]
“Don’t talk about work when you come back?” Hearing this strange sentence, Yu Manwen’s heart skipped a beat for no reason.
“You keep saying strange things...”
Yu Manwen could not help but roll her eyes at Jiang Beiran.
