I Just Won't Play By The Book

Chapter 212 It’s All Connected

After panicking for a while, Kong Qianqian picked up the pancake on the ground and took a bite. As she chewed, she cried, “Sir, what should we do? Wuwuwuwu, Sister Mu must have been locked up somewhere else.”

“Don’t panic. Tell me first, what happened before you were caught?”

“Before…” Kong Qianqian, who was chewing on the pancake, tried hard to recall for a while, “Sister Mu received news that someone in Xingcang Town stole the Yin family’s Nine-ringed Gale Saber. It was an excellent tier saber, so Sister Mu ordered us to catch the thief. In order to cast a wider catching net, Sister Mu even called many of her fellow disciples. Before we went down the mountain, we had a meeting with Sister Mu…”

“Stop, I’m not asking about these. I’m asking if anything big happened in the Spirit Dragon Cult before you set off. Think carefully, this is very important.”

Hearing Mister Jiang emphasize the words “this is very important,” Kong Qianqian stopped eating the pancake and closed her eyes to try to recall.

Jiang Beiran, on the other hand, guided her and asked, “Try to remember something related to your cult master, or if your cult has issued any orders that are different from usual.”

Hearing this, Kong Qianqian suddenly opened her eyes and said, “That’s right! Cult Master told Sister Mu that Fengzhou isn’t very peaceful recently, so he asked her to stay on the mountain. He’s going out for a period of time.”

“You women are all spies sent by the heaven to my side. Your intelligence is really concerning.’ Lazy to ridicule, Jiang Beiran began to analyze the information he knew.

First of all, after the battle of the Sect of Masked Moon, Guan Shi’an and Yin Jianghong, the leaders of the righteous sect and demonic cult, would definitely begin to clean up internally. It was very normal for other sects or demonic cults to fiercely retaliate.

Although Jiang Beiran had been staying in Lanzhou for this period of time, he was not completely unaware of the news from Fengzhou. At the very least, there should not have been any large-scale conflicts erupting yet. Whether it was Guan Shilan or Yin Jianghong, both of them were still casting their nets, and it wasn’t the time to pull the nets back.

But judging from the fact that Mu Yao was intercepted, there must have been a smart “fish” who sensed that someone was going to catch them all in one go, so he counterattacked in advance.

Yin Jianghong probably didn’t think of this, or else he wouldn’t have told Mu Yao not to go out. Instead, he tied her up on the mountain and found a dozen superior mystic practitioner to watch over her.

He continued to follow the clues. As Fengzhou was Guan Shi’an and Yin Jianghong’s territory, the person who kidnapped Mu Yao felt that the hiding Mu Yao in Fengzhou was not enough to be used as a trump card. Therefore, he thought of a way to transport her to Lanzhou.

“So that’s what the Liu family up to.”

As the relative of the emperor, the Liu family naturally supported the Imperial Court to regain power. They did not have to continue living such a miserable life where they still had to look up to other families despite being relatives to the emperor.

Hence, the Liu family agreed to take Mu Yao as a hostage. They were also worried that the people from Fengzhou would follow the clues and find their way to him. So, they used some kind of benefit to exchange for some evidence against the Hong family and let the Hong family take care of the hostages on their behalf.

The Hong family most likely did not know Mu Yao’s identity. Although they felt that it was a little troublesome at first, after a few days, no one came knocking on their door, and no one came looking for trouble with the Liu family. So, they gradually relaxed, that was why Hong Yaxuan said that both of his brothers were acting normally again.

“It’s all connected…”

After thinking about it, Jiang Beiran could only think of one reason why he would see Kong Qianqian in Lanzhou.

“So after saving that young miss of the Hong family, the earth grade difficulty option revolved around the capture of Mu Yao and the others…!

Would the incident in Fengzhou become very troublesome because of Mu Yao’s capture?

“It’s indeed possible. Yin Jianghong loved his daughter very much. He would probably do anything that goes against his principles for Mu Yao, which would add a lot of variables to the subsequent cleansing of Fengzhou.”

Seeing that Jiang Beiran was deep in thought, Kong Qianqian hugged his thigh again and shouted, “Sir! You must save Sister Mu!”

“Okay, okay, let go of me, my hands are full of oil.”

“Oh…” Kong Qianqian agreed and let go of her hands. Her watery eyes looked at Jiang Beiran expectantly.

“Your eyes… are you trying to save your senior sister, or are you still hungry?”

“Of course I want to save Sister Mu! Then… if possible, I… I want to eat meat.”

Shaking his head with a smile, Jiang Beiran took out a few pieces of pancake and two large pieces of beef jerky from his storage ring and handed them to her.

“Thank you, Sir!”

Her eyes lit up as she took the pancake and beef jerky, and Kong Qianqian began to eat them one bite at a time.

“According to what you said just now, you and your senior sister were still locked together in the previous cellar, right?”

“Yes, yes.” Kong Qianqian nodded.

“You… forget it.”

Jiang Beiran really didn’t think that he could get any clues from Kong Qianqian as she was munching on the pancakes. Instead of wasting time, he might as well think of a way himself.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Beiran asked, “Do you have any of Mu Yao’s personal items on you?”

“Personal items…” Kong Qianqian raised her head and thought for a while, “I did, but they took away my storage ring…”

“I see… does she have any of your personal items?”

“I don’t think so…” Kong Qianqian shook her head, but as soon as she shook her head, her eyes lit up and she shouted, “Sir, Sir!” “Speak.”

“She doesn’t have my personal items, but she has yours!”

“My…?” Jiang Beiran was stunned for a moment.

“Yes! Didn’t you give me a spiritual essence spell before? I made it into a talisman. When I was in the cellar, I told Sister Mu that this spiritual essence spell was given by you, and it could heal her injuries. I wanted her to take it, but she refused no matter what. However, I still stuffed the spiritual essence spell into her belt while she was sleeping.”

“Good Lord… so that’s what I meant when I gave a talisman to Kong Qianqian.”

To make a talisman, the creator needed to integrate his spirit essence into it. In addition, the creator had his own unique writing method. It could be said that the talisman made by each person was unique to the world and was very easy to lock onto.

Jiang Beiran felt much more relaxed. He couldn’t help but tease Kong Qianqian, “But if you don’t tell your senior sister, how will she know that she has a spiritual essence talisman that can heal her injuries?”

“Right!” Kong Qianqian was stunned again.

“But this clue is very useful. I will try to find your senior sister.”

“That’s great! I knew that as long as Sir comes, there’s nothing to be afraid of.” After saying that, Kong Qianqian took another bite of beef jerky.

“Has this girl forgotten that her cultivation is higher than mine?” Jiang Beiran thought helplessly.

After Kong Qianqian finished eating the beef jerky and the pancake, Jiang Beiran, who already had a perfect plan in his heart, said to her, “Listen, I’m going to look for your senior sister now. I can’t save you for the time being. Just stay here for a while. They shouldn’t hurt

you.”

“Oh, you can eat the bun and pickles that they sent over. Don’t worry, they’re not poisonous.”

Although Kong Qianqian felt extremely wronged after listening to him, she still nodded with difficulty and said, “I understand…”
