I Just Won't Play By The Book

Chapter 48: It’s Better to Teach Harshly

“Hu ~”

Blowing away some steam, Wu Qingce picked up the teacup and took a sip.

“Mmmm… as expected of the tea made by senior. The color of the tea is reddish orange and clear, the fragrance is like orchids. The taste is full and pure, smooth like a poem, and the aftertaste is mellow. There was a fragrance left on the teeth and cheeks, and the flavor is ten…”

“Enough.” Jiang Beiran waved his hand and interrupted Wu Qingce, “Aren’t all these words taught by me? Why are you showing off to me? Is It good?”

“Excellent!” Wu Qingce nodded very seriously.

“Here, take this.” Jiang Beiran said and threw two paper bags in front of Wu Qingce.

“This is…?”

“The tea leaves that you are drinking. Remember to drink one cup after every meal.”

Wu Qingce had a puzzled look on his face after hearing that.

“It’s used to detoxify poison. If you accidentally consume poison, this tea will immediately make you spit it out.”

“Senior, do you think someone will poison me?”

“It’s best to be careful. Now that you’ve become the number one disciple of the Rivernorth district, the Sect of Chaos Star will definitely allocate a large number of resources to you. When that time comes, your seniors and juniors may not be as close to you as before. Do you know Luo Bei of the Order of True Martial Arts? He has taken the first place in the hall’s trials in the past two weeks. Now, he’s already paralyzed on the bed.”

“Ah?” Wu Qingce was surprised at first, but then he took the tea leaves and cupped his hands. “Yes, thank you for the reminder.”

When Wu Qingce first entered the Sect of Returning Hearts, he actually believed in “taking care of each other” very much. He felt that everyone was in the same sect and the same hall because of fate, so they should get along well.

However, he had seen too many “unpleasant things” in the past four years, so he gradually began to approach Jiang Beiran’s path of survival.

“And this, try to see if it’s suitable.” Jiang Beiran said as he placed a black cloth bag in front of Wu Qingce.

“Thank you!”

Wu Qingce, who knew that his senior’s products must be of high quality, decisively thanked him first before opening the cloth bag.

“Empty?” Looking at the inside of the cloth bag, Wu Qingce could not help but ask.

“Reach in and touch it. Also, be careful when touching it.”

After hearing Jiang Beiran’s words, Wu Qingce carefully reached his hand in.

“It’s darts!”

The moment he touched the cloth bag, Wu Qingce knew what he had touched.

“That’s right. This is the Shadowless Dart that I made a few days ago. It’s invisible and silent. Take it back and practice it well.”

“Senior, you’re too powerful… I’ve never heard of this kind of dart. Even my father doesn’t have it.”

Wu Qingce took out one of the Shadowless Darts from the cloth bag. He put it in front of his eyes and looked at it repeatedly. He could barely see the outline of the darts. If they were used in a sneak attack, the opponents would not be able to guard against them at all.

“Thank you, senior!” Wu Qingce, who had been addicted to darts since he was young, immediately stood up and bowed to Jiang Beiran. He was genuinely admired Jiang Beiran with all his heart.

“Alright, sit down. Tell me what’s new in this tournament.”

Wu Qingce sat back in his seat happily. He straightened his back and reported, “Many elders from other sects have come this time. Lan Qi, the guy who led us, also said that the major sects in Rivernorth are paying more and more attention to this martial arts tournament.”

Jiang Beiran smiled disdainfully when he heard that. It was such a good tournament. It would be a waste to just show it to a group of old men. It was a pity that the time was not ripe yet. Otherwise, he would let the people on this continent see what a real tournament was.

Then, Wu Qingce began to describe his journey to win the championship, and he mentioned a name many times, “Zhou Guican.”

“This Zhou Guican is really very strong. If you never teach me how to fight against the opponents who are very fast, I would have almost lost.”

“Oh? Is he also at the peak of level 9?” Jiang Beiran asked.

“Yes, in terms of cultivation, he is on par with me. At most, he is just slightly lower than me.”

Jiang Beiran couldn’t help but think after listening to it. Wu Qingce’s cultivation had improved so quickly in the past four years because he had eaten quite a number of pills from him. Interestingly, Zhou Guican was on par with Wu Qingce in terms of cultivation. Jiang Beiran reckoned that Zhou Guican was extremely talented and had received special training in his sect.

After silently memorizing the name Zhou Guican, Jiang Beiran took out an envelope after listening to Wu Qingce’s report and threw it to him. He said, “This is the material you need to help me find next month.”

“Yes!” Wu Qingce received the order gladly.

“Okay, then you can go back. I still have things to do.”

“Senior… I still have a presumptuous request. I don’t know if I should say it.”

“Oh, then don’t say it.” Jiang Beiran waved his hand.

“…”

Although he had been with Jiang Beiran for so long, he was still not used to his senior’s way of talking.

“Senior, please let me speak…”

“Sigh…” Jiang Beiran sighed, “What’s the matter?”

“I recently learned a new set of moves. I would like to ask for pointer.”

“Pointer? You sound quite confident. Alright, I’ll exchange a few moves with you, come on.”

After saying that, Jiang Beiran stood up and walked to the open space beside him.

“Thank you!” Wu Qingce quickly cupped his fists at Jiang Beiran and walked to the opposite side of him to get ready. contemporary romance

“Senior, sorry for attacking you!”

After shouting, Wu Qingce took out six Crescent Flying Knives from nowhere and threw them at Jiang Beiran one after another. Then, he pulled out the Green Edge Sword from his waist and launched an attack.

Wu Qingce’s attack was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of Jiang Beiran, and at the same time, he launched his latest move, “Dazzling Hundred Blossoms”.

“Too slow.”

As Jiang Beiran spoke, he reached out two fingers and caught Wu Qingce’s Green Edge Sword. At the same time, he waved his left hand and confiscated all the Crescent Flying Knives that were attacking him from six different directions.

“…”

After staying silent for about a second, Wu Qingce silently released the hilt of his sword and walked to the side of purple bamboo. Then, he squatted down.

“Don’t do that. I won’t cheer you up. Hurry up and stand up.”

Wu Qingce knew that his senior meant what he said, so he was extremely disappointed. However, he still forced himself to stand up and cupped his hands towards Jiang Beiran as he shouted, “You’re the strongest!”

Jiang Beiran handed the Green Edge Sword and Six Crescent Flying Knives back to Wu Qingce. He then commented, “This move has an advantage. You want to use multiple angles to disrupt the opponent’s judgment, but you’re really too slow. Moreover, why do you have to stand still and throw darts? Wouldn’t it be more effective if the sword and darts were used together?”

Wu Qingce could not help but blush when he heard that. “I… I can’t do that yet.”

“Then why did you tell me that you’ve mastered it?”

“…”

“It’s my fault for not being good at learning! I’ll go back and practice it eight hundred more times!” After saying that, he rushed out of the purple bamboo forest as if he was fleeing.

“Be careful not to enter the formations by mistake again when you go out, or else you’ll be deducted a month’s worth of medicinal pills.”

“Got it.” Wu Qingce’s voice came from afar.

“Sigh, winning the championship is giving this kid a boost. If I praise him a little more, won’t he go to heaven? It’s better to teach him harshly.”

After thinking about it, Jiang Beiran shook his head and returned to his room to sit in front of the alchemy furnace..
