[Choice 1: Why would Cult Master Yin say that?”[Reward: Fire Cloud Immortal’s Record (Earth Grade Low-Rank)]
[Option 2:”Of course I will always stand on the side of the Sheng Kingdom.”[Completion Reward: Fallout Immortal Book (Mysterious Grade Mid-Rank)]
[Choice 3:” I believe Cult Master Yin already has your own judgment, right?”[Completion Reward: Random Basic Skill Point +1]
‘F… F * ck?
Jiang Beiran was a little taken aback when he saw the third option. This answer was obviously showing his cards. The system’s rhythm…As expected, I’ll never catch up.
After choosing the third option, Jiang Beiran replied with a meaningful smile,””I believe Cult Master Yin has already made your own judgment, right?”
[Mission completed. Reward: Gu Poison +1]
Hearing Jiang Beiran’s reply, Yin Jianghong was stunned.
From the first time he had met this disciple who had no cultivation at all in the Masked Moon Sect, he had been filled with curiosity. The subsequent incidents had also caused him to be even more wary of this disciple called Jiang Beiran.
There was no other reason. He was really good at hiding. He even dared to hide in front of a mystic sect like him. The most terrifying thing was that he even hid.
If it wasn’t for his intelligence, he wouldn’t have trusted him every time.
It was only when he entered the miasma and the masked expert appeared at the right time to save him that Yin Jianghong couldn’t just test him like before. This time, she had to make things clear because this concerned the future of the Sheng Kingdom.
However, he did not expect that the moment he asked, the kid in front of him would directly lay his cards on the table, as if he was saying: “Haven’t I been trying my best to express my goodwill so that you can rest assured?”
“Hu…”
Yin Jianghong let out a long sigh and turned around to look Jiang Beiran in the eye.””Who exactly are you?”
“Honorary Disciple of the Returning Heart Sect, Emperor of Sheng Country, Jiang Beiran.”Jiang Beiran replied with a smile.
“Alright, this venerable self will change the way I ask. What are your intentions in the Sheng Country?”
“Make the Sheng Nation the strongest nation on the Black Dragon Continent.”
“Why? Why did you suddenly tell the truth today?”
Yin Jianghong had just asked when three options popped up.
[Option 1: I suddenly don’t want to hide it from Cult Master Yin anymore.”[Completion Reward: Inaction Mystic Scripture (Earth Grade Low-Rank)]
[Choice 2:”Because I want to cooperate with you on a deeper level.”[Completion Reward: Starry Night Secret Manual (Mysterious Grade Low-Rank)]
[Choice 3:” Sigh, isn’t it because you’re not strong enough?”[Completion Reward: Random Basic Attribute Point +1]
After choosing the third option, Jiang Beiran spread his hands and said,””Sigh, isn’t it because your strength is insufficient?”
[Mission completed. Reward: Spirit +1]
Yin Jianghong was stunned at first, then laughed wildly.””Hahahahaha, that’s my fault.”
Yin Jianghong suddenly understood. The reason why she had chosen to believe that this disciple had no ill intentions towards her and the Shengguo was because he had always been telling the truth. That was why she felt at ease.
Just like this time, if it wasn’t for the fact that he didn’t have the ability to protect him, he would definitely be able to hide for a while longer.
After laughing for a while, Yin Jianghong shook her head and said,”Alright, then it’s my fault this time. Now can you answer me who you are?”
” I’m not hiding anything from you. I only have these two identities. I’m an in-name disciple of the Returning Heart Sect, and I’m the Emperor of the Sheng Kingdom. It’s just that…” Jiang Beiran suddenly raised his index finger and jabbed it upwards.
“I have someone above me.”
“There’s someone up there?” Yin Jianghong suddenly frowned. She had to admit that this sentence contained too much information.
“Can you tell me which mighty figure it is?” Yin Jianghong asked.
“I’m really sorry, I can’t say who he is.”
“Then what is his purpose? Why did you choose the Sheng Kingdom?”
Before Jiang Beiran could answer, two options appeared before him.
[Option 1:”Unbelievable.” [Completion Reward: Creation Seal (Earth Grade Low-Rank)]
[Choice 2:” These are all experiences arranged by that mighty person for me.”[Completion Reward: Random Basic Attribute Point +1]
“F * ck, it’s the third time.”
Jiang Beiran panicked when he saw yet another option. He knew that if he made the system jump through the same option too many times, it would end up like what happened to Lin Yuyan.
‘I have to think of a way to fool him.’
After choosing the third option, Jiang Beiran replied,””This is the training that the mighty figure arranged for me.”
“Experience?”
Yin Jianghong fell into deep thought again.
He combined all the bits and pieces of information he had previously, as well as Jiang Beiran’s various wild ideas.
‘Could it be that the mighty figure wants to prove that even without cultivation, one can become a supreme expert by relying on intelligence alone?’
At the thought of this, Yin Jianghong could not help but look at Jiang Beiran before her, increasingly convinced that she was right.
Although this little disciple in front of him had almost no cultivation, he had already become an indispensable figure in the country. Whether it was himself or Guan Shi ‘an, they would sometimes look at him as equals. This was something that had never happened before, and it was something that he could never imagine.
In this world where the strong were respected, no matter how smart you were, you had to have the strength to back you up. Otherwise, it would be meaningless. But now…He seemed to be witnessing a new kind of expert.
Thinking along this line of thought, Jiang Beiran’s appearance in the Sheng Kingdom was very reasonable. It was naturally a test, so he had to choose the most difficult one. As a small border country, the Sheng Kingdom could be said to have nothing compared to the big countries in the Central Plains. To make such a country the strongest in the Mystery Dragon Continent was simply a fool’s dream.
However, judging from Jiang Beiran’s various actions after he ascended the throne, it was indeed clear that he had a unique idea that no one had ever thought of before. It was something that no one could ever hope to achieve.
After a moment of consideration, Yin Jianghong asked seriously,””So I can trust you, right?”
“Of course.” Jiang Beiran nodded.” It’s just that this matter can become a secret between Cult Master Yin and Us. Otherwise, Our trial will be considered over.”
“Alright, since you can bring benefits to the Sheng Kingdom, then you can also bring benefits to me. Then from now on, should I treat you as a partner?”
“It’s better not to. It’s good to be like before. Zhen is still that little emperor, and you are still that senior sectmaster.”
“I didn’t expect the small country to be…There are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers.” ” Let’s go, Your Majesty.” Yin Jianghong sighed and smiled.” For the future of the Sheng Kingdom, you have to do more this time.””
“Of course, but before we leave, I have something to tell you.”
“Oh? What’s the matter?”
“Your disciple wants to find me to kill you together.”
[Mission completed. Reward: Five Elements +1]
“Oh?”
Jiang Beiran’s expression almost dropped when he saw the new Special Attribute Point. The five elements were not as simple as metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. They represented the analogy of all things.
Just like mathematics was the foundation of all science, the five elements were the foundation of all metaphysics.
It was widely used in Chinese medicine, geomancy, fortune-telling, fortune-telling, and so on.
The so-called Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.
The two born were Yin and Yang, and the five elements were the five basic movements in the process of Yin and Yang evolving into all things.
Gold represented convergence, wood represented growth, water represented infiltration, fire represented destruction, and earth represented fusion.
In metaphysics, the five elements were used to explain the mutual promotion and restriction of all things in the world.
It was precisely because the five elements encompassed so many aspects that Jiang Beiran was so pleasantly surprised by the arrival of this new unique point. This was the most primitive system of his abilities, and the benefits it would bring him in the future might be unimaginable.
While Jiang Beiran was overjoyed, Yin Jianghong laughed and said,””Hahaha, that sounds like something that little bastard would say. Did you agree to it?”
“I wanted to agree, but he suddenly didn’t want to.”
“Oh? Why?” Yin Jianghong didn’t care about Jiang Beiran’s agreement at all. Instead, she asked with a smile.
“Zhen’s condition was that as long as he told Zhen what happened between him and Cult Master Yin, Zhen would agree to join forces with him, but he didn’t say anything.”
“Hahaha, are you interested in this?”
“Of course.” Jiang Beiran nodded honestly.
“Sigh, the sect is unfortunate. I’ll tell you about this again in the future.”Yin Jianghong, who didn’t intend to elaborate on this matter, waved her hand and changed the topic.””When he talked to you, the first thing he said was, did I already know your secret?”
“How did Cult Master Yin know?” Jiang Beiran asked, stunned.”
“That’s his old habit. He’ll cheat you first when he sees you. Just ignore him.”
