I Just Won’t Play By The Book

Chapter 136 - Go Game



Chapter 136 Go Game

Guan Shi’an smiled. “Serious business? Sure, let me listen to it.”

“It is the serious business of our demonic cult. It’s not something that you can listen to.”

“But why Beiran can?”

“He’s different from you.”

Hearing this, Jiang Beiran finally couldn’t help but say, “Cult Master Yin, if Sect Master Guan can’t listen, then I will not listen too.”

“Hahahaha.” After hearing this, Yin Jianghong suddenly burst into laughter, “I won’t tease you anymore. Since Sect Master Guan also wants to hear it, then let’s come together.”

Walking on the road with two mystic masters on his both sides, Jiang Beiran couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, “I can’t keep living with this pressure.”

Arriving at the familiar sect master’s residence, Yin Jianghong placed an agate Go board on the table and said to Jiang Beiran, “Come on, you hold the white piece first. I’ll test your skill.”

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony.” After saying that, Jiang Beiran took the chessboard the white pieces to his side.

He had practiced for several years with Etiquette Protector Cheng, so he didn’t have any stage fright at all. He could test the level of this Cult Master Yin just by making a few moves.

“Aren’t you going to talk about business? Why are you still playing Go?” Guan Shi’an said impatiently.

“Let’s talk in the meantime. Sect Master Guan, if you find playing Go boring, you can do something else.”

“No need. I’ll just stay here and watch.”

Seeing that Guan Shi’an didn’t leave, Yin Jianghong didn’t mind. He turned to Jiang Beiran and said, “Let’s start.”

“Da, da, da”

Along with the sound of the pieces being placed, the corner of the Go board was quickly filled with black and white. At the same time, Jiang Beiran also had a concrete understanding of Yin Jianghong’s skill.

“Is that all?”

He originally thought that Yin Jianghong was so eager to play Go with him to avenge his eldest son. He did not expect that Yin Jianghong was not strong as he thought.

Yin Jianghong’s skill level was at most a little better than Mu Jiuri’s, but it was only a little. The two of them were on the same level as Etiquette Protector Cheng.

“How should I lose!?” Jiang Beiran suddenly had a headache.

He could win Yin Jianghong because he was not much better than Mu Jiuri. Therefore, if he deliberately lost, it would be a little too obvious.

However, the system didn’t give him any option, which meant it didn’t matter whether he won or not.

In the end, Jiang Beiran controlled his loss to half a point, which was neither too much nor too little. He was almost able to win.

“Hahaha, it’s so satisfying, so satisfying! Your chess strength is really high. I almost failed to defeat you.” Yin Jianghong said with a laugh.

“No, you went easy on me.”

“Haha, one more round, one more round.”

“Ah!?”

Jiang Beiran had a headache. It was too difficult to play Go. “But judging from his reaction, he doesn’t seem to feel that I’m going easy on him.” Jiang Beiran thought so. Therefore, in the second round, Jiang Beiran lost by one and a half points. Moreover, he went a little more serious this time.

Yin Jianghong, who had won this round with great difficulty, was completely flushed. “Great! Great! I have met a great opponent in Go. Again!”

At this time, Guan Shi’an finally couldn’t stand it anymore. He coughed and said, “Do you still want to talk about that serious business of yours?”

“It doesn’t matter. It’s not too late to talk about it after two more rounds.”

Jiang Beiran, who was already feeling physically and mentally exhausted, heard Guan Shi’an’ words. He decisively cupped his hands and said, “Cult Master Yin, why don’t we talk about this serious matter first? Now that the Gathering of Young Heroes has just ended, my sect master definitely has a lot to talk to us. In addition, I have to make some preparations to go back.”

After listening to Guan Shi’an, Yin Jianghong sighed. “Forget it, forget it, forget it. I’ll play with you again in Sect of Returning Hearts.” “Ah?” Jiang Beiran was stunned. “Cult Master Yin wants to come to Sect of Returning Hearts?”

“Yes, your sect has two disciples who defeat my eldest son. I have to study hard.”

“You, the leader of the demonic cult, want to come to my sect to study? Don’t you find it embarrassing?” At the same time, two options popped up in the system.

[ Option 1: Welcome Yin Jianghong to the Sect of Returning Hearts to study. Reward for completion: Spirit map of Collapsing Mountain (high tier black grade)]

[ Option 2: persuade Yin Jianghong not to come to the Sect of Returning Hearts. Reward for completion: Random basic skill points + 1]

“Oh!?”

Jiang Beiran was stunned. He didn’t think that rejecting Yin Jianghong would be a safe option. He was a little annoyed, but he could only force a smile on his face.

“”This cult master… is really hard to deal with.”

After choosing option 2, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands and said, “I have an immature suggestion. I wonder if I can be bold enough to say it to sect Master Yin.”

“There’s no harm in saying it.”

“I think that although the event of the past few days seems to have passed, the various sect masters and cult masters will definitely become much more sensitive than before. If Cult Master Yin comes to our sect at this time, we will definitely be suspected by the other righteous sects. At that time…”

Yin Jianghong’s expression turned cold after hearing this. He asked, “So you don’t welcome me to your sect?”

“That’s not what I mean. As long as the aftershock of the event subsided, I will definitely brew a pot of good tea and place it on the Go board to welcome you, Cult Master Yin.”

“It did sound like you don’t welcome me.”

At this point, Jiang Beiran had no other choice. He cupped his hands and said, “I don’t dare to reject you, Cult Master Yin, but my sect is extremely kind to me, so I can only…”.

“Alright, alright.” Yin Jianghong waved his hand. “I said that I’m going to your sect in front of all the sect masters. Even Sect Master Guan knows about it. What are you nervous about?”

Guan Shi’an couldn’t help but smile and said, “I didn’t see that Beiran was willing to go this far for the sect. Little Brother Lu has accepted a good disciple.”

After laughing, Guan Shi’an said to Yin Jianghong, “Beiran’s worries are not unreasonable. Even if you said that you want to go to the Sect of Returning Hearts in front of all the sect masters, it’s inevitable that the other sect masters will misunderstand it. I think it’s better to wait for the dust to settle before you go to study.”

“Alright, alright. I was just joking. Do you really think that I want to go to your lousy sect so much?”

[ Chosen quest completed. Reward: Formations + 1]

“”Can’t believe I did it.”

Jiang Beiran heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, he recalled the surprised face of the Law Protector Yu when she heard that he was going to participate in the Gathering of Young Heroes. Jiang Beiran wondered if she knew that he stood up for his sect in front of a cult master, what would her expression be like.

However, if it wasn’t for the trust that he had developed the system over the years, sometimes Jiang Beiran would feel that the system’s option was too unconventional, or even suicidal.

“Come on, let’s talk business.” At this moment, Yin Jianghong put away the Go board, he took out a list of names and placed it on the table as she said to Jiang Beiran, “I’ve already arranged for people to investigate the matter of the Yellow Gang. Since you’ve seen the Yellow Gang, help me see which one of them is the leader of the Yellow Gang.”

“It’s done? They’re fast…” Jiang Beiran thought.
