Chapter 226: You Know It 2
“I’ll just tell them afterward.” contemporary romance
When he returned to the Tianyun Peak, Jiang Beiran found that the banquet had ended. Guan Shi’an, who had eaten and drunk his fill, was sent to his room to rest. Only Lu Yinlong was still standing in the main hall waiting for Jiang Beiran.
“Sect Master,” Jiang Beiran stepped forward and bowed.
Nodding, Lu Yinlong replied, “Are you all packed?”
“Sect Master, the ascension came too sudden. I don’t know what to pack.”
Lu Yinlong chuckled. “If you really don’t want to, I’ll help you talk to Sect Master Guan and ask him to change the candidate.”
Jiang Beiran knew that it was just a formality. In front of Guan Shi’an, it was reasonable to refuse at first, but if he went back on his word, it would be a slap in the face.
Therefore, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands and said, “Thank you for your kindness, Sect Master. However, I also want to contribute to the people of Fengzhou and Sect of Returning Hearts.”
Lu Yinlong could not help but smile when he heard that. “It’s good that you have such a heart, but I’m afraid the imperial court is not as simple as you think. You’d better take care of yourself first.”
Knowing that his sect master seemed not to be as “dumb” as Guan Shi’an, Jiang Beiran felt inexplicably gratified.
“I will definitely do my best. However, I have never come into contact with the Imperial Court since I can remember. I am indeed... a little uncertain.”
“Haha, don’t worry. Sect of Returning Hearts will always be your backer. Although the imperial court is not simple, no one will dare to harm you. You can learn slowly. However, there is one thing that you must pay attention to.”
Jiang Beiran lowered his head and asked cooperatively when he heard Lu Yinlong suddenly stop.
“Sect Master, please enlighten me.”

“Maintain neutrality and don’t favor any faction. At the very least, you don’t have the strength to do so yet.”
“Sure.”
Jiang Beiran almost clapped his hands when he heard that. However, he had noticed that Lu Yinlong looked like a boorish sect master on the surface, but in fact, he was very well-planned when he did things. This could be seen from Shi Fenglan.
Although it was only when a master might overly protect his disciples, this was definitely the excellent quality of a sect master.
After sighing in his heart, Jiang Beiran nodded heavily and said, “I will remember your teaching.”
“I have nothing more to say to you. I have never paid much attention to the position of the Emperor of Sheng Kingdom, but...” Lu Yinlong sized up Jiang Beiran as he spoke. “I think there will be changes in the future.”
Jiang Beiran was interested in Lu Yinlong’s words.
“Does he think that he would change because the disciple of Sect of Returning Hearts become the emperor, or did he think that after I become the emperor, I would bring change to the entire Sheng Kingdom?”
Looking at Lu Yinlong’s meaningful gaze, Jiang Beiran felt as if he was meeting him for the first time.
This reminded him of how he felt about Sect Master after he knew about Shi Fenglan.
“Sect Master hid himself well too... I like it.”
The two of them chatted until dawn, and Guan Shi’an arrived at the main hall after a good night’s sleep.
“Greetings, Sect Master Guan.” Jiang Beiran greeted Guan Shi’an.
Guan Shi’an nodded and looked at Lu Yinlong. “Brother Lu, you didn’t sleep all night? It seems that you really can’t bear to part with your disciple, Hahaha.”
Lu Yinlong also laughed and said, “Beiran is an excellent disciple of Sect of Returning Hearts. Of course, I can’t bear to part with him.”
“Aiya, he’s just becoming the emperor. It’s not a big deal. After all the arrangements have been made, he can come back anytime in his free time.”
After exchanging some pleasantries, Guan Shi’an patted Jiang Beiran’s shoulder and said, “Have you packed everything?”
Jiang Beiran cupped his hands and said, “I don’t know what to pack in such a hurry.”
“It’s alright, it’s alright. I’ve already prepared everything for you there. If you need anything, just mention it.”
“Yes.”
“Then let’s set off. The people in the imperial palace are waiting for you.”
“They did prepare really well.” Jiang Beiran thought.
After bidding farewell to Lu Yinlong, Jiang Beiran sat on the flying shuttle that Guan Shi’an had prepared for him and arrived at Yunzhou County.
The imperial palace was located in the Ning City.
When he landed on the ground, Jiang Beiran suddenly had another thought. Although the speed of information transmission in this era was not so fast, the speed of movement was not slower than that of the 21st century. No, even an airplane could not compare to the speed of a cultivator’s flight.
This difference would also make him, the emperor, very different. At the very least, he could go out to visit in disguise and come back at night. It was very convenient.
Landing in front of the imperial palace in Ning City, Jiang Beiran didn’t have the time to appreciate the magnificence of the palace when he saw another familiar big shot come in front of him.
It was Yin Jianghong.
“I have to say... These two big shots are really the role models. They do everything by themselves”
However, Fengzhou was undergoing a huge change, so these two big shots should be more attentive. After all, they could only cultivate properly after the internal stability was stabilized. Otherwise, it would be too late if they come out of seclusion and find that their sect was gone.
“I knew you would come.”
Upon seeing Jiang Beiran, Yin Jianghong grinned and spoke.
Guan Shi’an was immediately unhappy after hearing that. “I was the one who found him. Why do you seem to have contributed so much? Aren’t you shameless?”
“Sect Master Guan, there’s really something wrong with you...” Jiang Beiran realized that Guan Shi’an had been completely led astray by Yin Jianghong, and his manner of speaking was no longer that of an expert.
“Didn’t I come up with this idea?” Yin Jianghong looked at Guan Shi’an and asked.
“What’s the use of just coming up with ideas? If I didn’t go and invite Little Friend, would he ever be here?” Guan Shi’an looked at Jiang Beiran after he finished speaking.
Jiang Beiran also cupped his hands in cooperation and said, “Yes. If it wasn’t for Sect Master Guan’s words, I not would have suddenly come to a realization and still spend my life without a proper goal.”
Nodding with satisfaction, Guan Shi’an laughed and said, “You are the best piece of unpolished jade I have ever seen. I didn’t put you in the right place in the past. Now, this Ning City is where you can show off your skills. I believe that you will definitely not disappoint me.”
“I will definitely do my best.”
Yin Jianghong could not help but say after listening, “Good. Then it has been hard on Sect Master Guan. Leave the rest to me.”
After nodding in satisfaction, Guan Shi’an said, “Then I’ll leave Little Friend to you. I’ll go to Meng Jiao and complete the last step.”
“In that case, Sect Master Guan had done a really good job.” Yin Jianghong cupped his hands at Guan Shi’an.
“Don’t disgust me. I’m doing this for the prosperity of my righteous sect, not for you. I don’t need your appreciation.” After saying that, he turned around and flew away.
After Guan Shi’an disappeared from their sight, Yin Jianghong smiled and said to Jiang Beiran, “Are you frightened by Old Man Guan’s ignorance?”
Jiang Beiran was stunned after hearing that. He cupped his hands and said, “May I know what Cult Master Yin is talking about?”
“Don’t pretend in front of me. That Old Man Guan doesn’t know anything about the importance of the position of emperor. He’s just a boor. If I wasn’t worried that my sudden visit to Sect of Returning Hearts would arouse Sect Master Lu’s vigilance, I wouldn’t have asked him to bring you here.”
Just as Jiang Beiran had thought, Yin Jianghong knew much more about this matter than Guan Shi’an.
However, Jiang Beiran couldn’t really say it, so he still cupped his hands and said, “It’s true that Sect Master Guan persuaded me.”
“You’re still as sly as ever. Not bad, keep it up.”
After saying that, Yin Jianghong asked, “Tell me, what are your first steps after becoming the emperor?”
Jiang Beiran shook his head, “I have never been involved in the affairs of the imperial court. I only know that I still have a lot to learn. As for what I should do in the first step, I haven’t thought about it yet.”
“Then can I give you some pointers?” Yin Jianghong asked with a smile.
“I am very grateful.” Jiang Beiran immediately cupped his hands.
“Do you know why Guan Shi’an doesn’t value this emperor so much?” Without waiting for Jiang Beiran to give an ambiguous answer, Yin Jianghong answered directly, “Because of his background, he is the son of the first wife of a big family. He was born with excellent talent in cultivation. It can be said that he has never experienced any suffering in the world from the moment he born until he become mystic master.”
After saying that, Yin Jianghong took a deep breath and smiled at Jiang Beiran, “But I’m different. I grew up from the bottom and I know very well how dark the world is.”
