Chapter 98 I Don’t Think Brother Jiang Is Avoiding Us
With Sect Master holding down the fort, although they encountered quite a few things on the way to the Sect of Masked Moon, all of them were easily resolved without exception.
“Sigh, we’ve finally arrived…” Jiang sighed emotionally in his heart.
Jiang Beiran saw the signature building of Sect of Masked Moon, the Masked Moon Tower, through the window.
Unlike most sects, the Sect of Masked Moon was not built on a high mountain. Instead, it was built on a plain, covering a total area of 105,000 mu, which was equivalent to the total area of three ordinary towns. The signature building of the central sect, the Masked Moon Tower, was 160 meters tall. There was no tower higher than the Masked Moon Tower in the entire Fengzhou, or it could be said that no one dared to build a tower higher than the Sect of Masked Moon’s tower.
On the way, although Jiang Beiran thought of all kinds of possible incidents that he might encounter in the Sect of Masked Moon and took all kinds of precautions, he could not help but feel somewhat apprehensive before he really encountered them.
As he was thinking, Jiang Beiran felt the large carriage stop. He lifted up the curtain and saw a youth wearing a dark green collar come forward and cupped his hands. “I am a disciple of Sect of Masked Moon, Wan Pengyi. We respectfully welcome the Sect Master of the Returning Heart Sect.”
“Tsk, to have a level nine mystic disciple welcome the guests, are they trying to show off that they have many high-level disciples? This Sect of Masked Moon really knows how to
act…”
After using his mind power to scan over Wan Pengyi’s cultivation, Jiang Beiran could not help but ridicule in his heart.
Lifting up the curtain, Lu Yinlong nodded towards that Sect of Masked Moon disciple. At the same time, Wu Qingce also jumped down from the large carriage at the right time. He cupped his fists towards Wan Pengyi and said, “I am Wu Qingce of the Sect of Returning Hearts. I have to trouble you to lead the way.”
He returned a bow towards Wu Qingce, and Wan Pengyi made an inviting gesture and said, “Please come this way. I will lead the esteemed guests of the Sect of Returning Hearts to rest first.”
Wu Qingce, “Many thanks.”
Under the lead of Wan Pengyi, the convoy slowly entered a garden area. The garden area was filled with all kinds of ornamental buildings, such as artificial mountains, high platforms, zither towers, flower lanterns, and so on.
The Sect of Green Flame disciples reveal a surprised expression when they saw the scene. They could not help but feel that the Sect of Masked Moon was indeed worthy of being the number one sect in Fengzhou. It was truly too imposing
Jiang Beiran, on the other hand, was certain that the Sect Master of the Sect of Masked Moon really like to make an ostentation of his wealth. And from what he knew, this kind of people usually cared very much about their fame. They would even disregard everything for the sake of their face.
”So troublesome…”
While sighing with emotion, the convoy drove onto a main road that had dozens of guest houses lined up neatly on both sides.
They stopped in front of one of the guest houses. Along the way, Wan Pengyi, who had introduced the division of the park to Wu Qingce. He cupped his hands and said, “This is the place. Brother Wu, please invite Sect Master Lu and disciples of your sect to come down and rest. I will arrange for someone to park your sect’s carriage at the Thousand Beast Park.”
“Thank you, Brother Wan.”
After saluting, Wu Qingce walked to the front of Lu Yinlong’s carriage and cupped his hands and shouted, “Sect Master, we have arrived at the resting place.”
“Okay.”
Following Lu Yinlong’s deep voice, the curtains were lifted, and the four top-level figures of the Sect of Returning Hearts alighted from the carriage.
Next, the servants and maids in the guest house arranged the rooms and introduced the various facilities in the guest house. On the way, Jiang Beiran could not help but lament that the Sect of Masked Moon was really rich and overbearing. These guest houses were definitely unoccupied on normal days, and they would only be used on such a big day. Not to mention the money for construction, the maintenance fee for these guest houses must be quite considerable.
However, while sighing at how wealthy the Sect of Masked Moon was, Jiang Beiran also thought that it was a waste of resources.
Finally, under the guidance of a maid, Jiang Beiran came to his room. As soon as he pushed open the door, a very pleasant sandalwood fragrance drifted over. The interior decoration of the room was also very high-class. Even the heaven-ranked rooms in other inns couldn’t compare to this.
“What a beautiful room…”
Mo Xia looked at the lotus oil lamp that he had never seen before with a surprised expression.
As a participant in Go playing, Jiang Beiran and Mo Xia were naturally in the same room.
After deciding the beds, Mo Xia immediately took out the Go board and said to Jiang Beiran, “Brother Jiang… I haven’t found an opportunity on the way. Can you play with me now?”
Looking at Mo Xia’s expectant eyes, Jiang Beiran could feel that he must have been holding it in all the way here.
Before distributing the rooms, Sect Master had already said that they could move freely today. After all, they had come five days earlier for the birthday celebration, so there was no rush on the schedule.
Jiang Beiran originally wanted to go out and investigate, but he wasn’t in a hurry. It was fine to play with this little junior brother who was obsessed with go first.
“Okay, let’s have a game first.” Jiang Beiran said and sat across from the chessboard.
“Thank you!” Mo Xia shouted excitedly.
At this moment, Liu Zijin and the others, who had also finished allocating rooms, habitually went to Fang Qiuyao’s room for a meeting.
“Brother Jiang is indeed still avoiding us.”
“On the way, he saw us several times but didn’t have any reaction at all.”
“Sister Zijin, why do you think that is? We have already strictly adhered to the ‘Things to take note of when interacting with senior brother’.”
Looking at the three Yu sisters, Liu Zijin smiled and said, “Actually, I feel that Brother Jiang has not deliberately avoided us.”
“Eh?” The three faces moved closer to Liu Zijin at the same time. “Why?”
“Think about it. If he really wants to avoid us, then it’s impossible for us to see him. With his ability, he could totally keep himself away from our sights.”
The three sisters fell into deep thought after hearing this. Then, they nodded together and said, “That’s right! So, our policy of getting along with Brother Jiang is correct?”
Fang Qiuyao was happy for a while after hearing this, but she immediately sighed and said, “But if this continues, won’t it be the same result as senior brother avoiding us? We couldn’t talk to him anyway…”
After hearing this, Liu Zijin replied, “Take it slow. There are so many people on the road. Naturally, we can’t go and greet Brother Jiang directly, but there will definitely be a suitable time.”
After hearing this, the three sisters couldn’t help but raise their hands and suggest.
“I think rather than waiting for the opportunity.”
“It’s better for us to create the opportunity
ourselves.”
“Let’s make a few plans!”
Nodding, Liu Zijin took out a piece of paper and said with a smile, “Alright, let’s do it this way.”
At midnight.
In Jiang Beiran’s room, Mo Xia, who was frowning, stared at the Go board for a long time. In the end, he lowered his head and said, “I admit defeat.”
Without waiting for Jiang Beiran to speak, Mo Xia raised her head and stared at Jiang Beiran. “Brother Jiang! Your go skills are even better than the rumors!”
“Rumors?”
“That’s right!” Mo Xia nodded. “Many senior brothers in order of Blue Heart said that even Etiquette Protector Cheng wouldn’t be able to defeat you easily.” Jiang Beiran shook his head. “Don’t listen to their nonsense. Etiquette Protector Cheng is much better than me. I rarely win against him.”
“Wow! Brother Jiang, you’re so powerful, but you still can’t win against Etiquette Protector Cheng?”
“Of course. Etiquette Protector Cheng’s Go skills are beyond our imagination.” “Amazing… I want to reach that level as well.” Mo Xia’s face was full of longing as he spoke. “Brother Jiang, can… can we have another game?”
Jiang Beiran was about to agree when he suddenly felt the mystic energy released by Wu Qingce outside the window.
“You should study the last game first. I have the habit of taking a walk at night. I’ll play with you when I come back.”
“Yes!” Mo Xia nodded and agreed.
