I Just Won't Play By The Book

Chapter 183 Reprimand 2

“He’s a superior mystic practitioner!”

Hong Yaxuan sensed powerful mystic energy from Elder Zhang every day. So, she immediately realized that Tu Jiang was a superior mystic practitioner as well. At the same time, the glimmer of hope that had just risen was completely destroyed.

Even in Sect of Four Directions, a superior mystic practitioner was a pillar-like existence that could completely intimidate an entire region. She had never thought that she would meet a superior mystic practitioner level bandit in this remote Suiyuan County.

Luo Wenzhou, who already knew that the other party was a superior mystic practitioner, did not have the slightest intention of backing down. He raised both his hands and made a battle stance.

“Interesting. Let’s have some fun then.” Tu Jiang said with a cruel smile. At the same time, a black gas wrapped around his right hand.

Then, his body moved, and Tu Jiang instantly appeared in front of Luo Wenzhou.

“No!”

Hong Yaxuan cried out in shock. She knew that Lin Yu, who was only a mystic realm cultivator, was definitely not Tu Jiang’s match.

Then, just as she thought that Lin Yu was about to be sent flying, a figure suddenly descended from the sky and pressed Tu Jiang to the ground.

“Hey, didn’t you say to have some fun? Why did you try to kill him? You gangsters are just salvage.”

Seeing his master finally appear, Luo Wenzhou heaved a sigh of relief. He was already at the end of his rope and was about to fall to the ground when he heard his master berate him, “Stand still!”

Hearing his master’s reprimand, Luo Wenzhou suddenly tensed up again and he stood very straight.

Pointing his index finger at Luo Wenzhou, Jiang Beiran shouted, “Let me tell you, your performance this time has disappointed me! If it wasn’t for this baldy wanted to finish you, I would definitely let him beat you up again and let you learn your lesson!”

“Yes, Big Brother… I know I’m wrong.” Luo Wenzhou lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

Hong Yaxuan, who was completely dumbfounded, didn’t know what was happening now, but she still said, “Big Brother, don’t blame Lin Yu. If it weren’t for him…”

“Shut up!” Jiang Beiran glared at Hong Yaxuan fiercely. “This has nothing to do with you. Lie down properly.” Hong Yaxuan, who had been scolded, suddenly felt extremely wronged. The tears that she had been holding back earlier suddenly welled up and she started crying.

“What are you crying for! Stop crying!”

After lecturing Hong Yaxuan again, Jiang Beiran pointed at her and said to Luo Wenzhou, “Why did you play along with that stupid girl! This is obviously a trap, yet you still jumped right in it. Tell me, how did you investigate this village previously?”

Luo Wenzhou, who had his head lowered, immediately replied, “A few constables from the yamen found out that this village had been causing trouble in Suiyuan County for a long time. They didn’t appear suddenly, and they didn’t just rob the Hong family’s fleet. The local constables told me that they had also come to suppress this group bandits, but these bandits were too cunning. These bandits always manage to escape, so they were always unable to catch them all in one

go.”

“OH -” Jiang Beiran nodded as he listened. “So, you think that if ordinary constables can chase after them, they definitely aren’t some powerful characters, right?”

“Yes…” Luo Wenzhou nodded.

“Stupid! You know that they rob everything, then why didn’t you check the other mountain strongholds? Within this county, all the mountain strongholds had an unwritten rule. They will not rob the Hong family’s goods! However, this group of bandits dare to steal from the Hong family’s carriage. Even a fool can tell that they are a serious trouble”

Luo Wenzhou was stunned when he heard this. He replied, “Those few constables didn’t tell me this at that time…”

“Of course! They can’t wait for you to help them to get rid of this stockade. Why would they tell you about the risks?”

“I was wrong…”

When Jiang Beiran reprimanded Luo Wenzhou, Peng Xing, who was standing behind Jiang Beiran, was even more stunned than Hong Yaxuan. Brother Tu, whom the two brothers usually worshipped as a god, was actually defeated by this unknown man in front of them.

He lowered his head once again to look at Tu Jiang, who was still unresponsive. Peng Xing swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He quietly took a step back.

“Stand there.”

It was just two short words, but it made Peng Xing kneel down immediately.

“Please spare my life, hero. Please spare my life. I was also ordered by someone. They forced me to do it, he…”

“Shut up. Did I ask you? If you keep talking, you’ll end up like him,” Jiang Beiran turned his eyes to Tu Jiang under his feet and spoke.

“Yes, yes, yes! I won’t talk, I won’t talk,” Peng Xing nodded vigorously.

Jiang Beiran looked at Luo Wenzhou again and continued, “It’s fine if you didn’t investigate thoroughly, but who taught you to barge into this mountain stronghold without any investigation?”

“I…” Luo Wenzhou looked up at his master.

“Don’t look at me. I don’t want to see your face.”

After saying that, Jiang Beiran pointed at Hong Yaxuan again. “Is it because you can’t do anything to this silly girl? Let me tell you, I don’t care if you fool around with women, but if you keep doing this without a bottom line, You’re useless to me. Do you know what I mean?”

“Yes! I’ve already learned my lesson.”

Hong Yaxuan, who was scolded as a silly girl again, suddenly stopped crying. She pouted and wanted to refute, but she couldn’t think of any words to refute, because she was really being impulsive and ignorant this time.

“Phew…” After reprimanding Luo Wenzhou, Jiang Beiran heaved a sigh of relief.

Two days ago, he suddenly received a letter sent by Luo Wenzhou, saying that he wanted to escort the eldest daughter of the Hong family.

Just as he finished reading the letter, two options popped up in front of Jiang Beiran.

[ Option 1: Disagree with this matter. Reward: East Extreme Forbidden Scripture (mid tier black grade)]

[ Option 2: Agree and help Luo Wenzhou protect Hong Yaxuan. Reward: Random basic skill points + 1]

Jiang Beiran was surprised that the option specifically mentioned protecting Hong Yaxuan. Jiang Beiran had never met the eldest daughter of the Hong family before. Although he found it a little strange, he knew that he had to deal with her no matter what. After choosing option 2, he wrote back to Luo Wenzhou and told him that he had agreed.

On the way, Jiang Beiran was so angry that he wanted to rush out and give Luo Wenzhou a good beating. However, he held back.

He knew that although Luo Wenzhou was very good at gathering information, he was not as smart and capable as Gu Qinghuan in other aspects. Therefore, Jiang Beiran wanted to use this opportunity to train Luo Wenzhou.

However, he did not expect Luo Wenzhou had completely failed the test. This made Jiang Beiran unable to hold back and immediately gave him a scolding when they met.

After venting, Jiang Beiran took out a small jade bottle from his storage ring and poured out a jade-like pill. He threw it to Luo Wenzhou and said, “Eat it.”

“Thank you, Big Brother.” Luo Wenzhou took the jade-like pill and thanked Jiang Beiran before swallowing the pill.

“Meditate and recover.”

“Yes!” Luo Wenzhou said and sat down cross-legged.

When Luo Wenzhou closed his eyes, Jiang Beiran kicked Tu Jiang, who was on the ground, and said, “Don’t play dead. I didn’t knock you out just now.”

Seeing that Tu Jiang still didn’t move, Jiang Beiran punched the side of his head.

“If you don’t want the next punch to hit your head, you’d better wake up now.”

Hearing this, Tu Jiang immediately got up and knelt on the ground. “I don’t know who you are, Mister. I didn’t mean to offend you, and I also don’t know that this handsome young master is your younger brother. If I knew…”

“Okay, okay, okay. Don’t talk nonsense. Answer me a few questions first.”

Since he had already taken care of this matter, thinking that he might very likely use the Hong family in the future, Jiang Beiran thought that asking for more information would be a good bargaining chip in the future.

“Feel free to ask. I will definitely tell you everything I know.”

“Why did you lure the Hong family here?”

“I was also instructed by someone to come to Suiyuan County.”

After hearing this, Jiang Beiran reached out his hand and grabbed Tu Jiang’s left arm. Then, he exerted force and pulled it!

“Ah!!!”

“If you say such nonsense again, I will cripple your other hand.”

“I admit my mistake! I admit my mistake! I am the blue flame emissary of the Ashen Flame Cult. Our leader sent me here, but he just wanted me to capture a few members of the Hong family and didn’t tell me what to do. I swear, that’s all I know!” contemporary romance

Enduring the pain of his broken arm, Tu Jiang answered without hesitation.

After Jiang Beiran heard this, he kicked Peng Xing beside him and asked, “Is what he said true?”

“It’s true, it’s true.” Peng Xing nodded.

This was the first time he saw Brother Tu grovel like this. He also understood how terrifying this young man was.

“How unlucky. Why do I bump into a troublesome situation?”
