I Just Won't Play By The Book

Chapter 168 What a Surprise 2

“Kind? I’m so mad right now…”

“Enough!” Lu Yinlong shouted at this time. “Since it’s a foregone conclusion, you all can retreat now. I’ll go to the Ye family to apologize to them later.”

“Father, you’re really spoiling this girl…” “What?” Lu Yinlong glared at Lu Qiufang. “Yes, as you command, father.”

Seeing her father nod, Lu Qingyin cheered, “That’s great! I knew you love me the most!” With that, she kissed Lu Yinlong on the cheek.

Shaking his head helplessly, Lu Yinlong lightly slapped Lu Qingyin’s palm and said, “Don’t do this again in the future.”

“Yes!” Lu Qingyin nodded happily.

“No, you can’t do it! You can’t do it!!!” Jiang Beiran was sweating profusely when he heard this. This was the standard method of breaking off an engagement. Jiang Beiran was almost certain that Sect of Returning Hearts had offended a destiny child this time, and his purity was as high as 99%, the 1% that was missing was because Jiang Beiran had not heard the phrase, “Don’t bully a young man because he’s weak.”.

He could almost deduce what would happen after that. Three years later, the Ye family’s young man would become extremely strong and charge into the Sect of Returning Hearts and defeat Lu Qingyin in front of everyone.

Lu Yinlong, who cared about his reputation, would definitely not let the Ye family’s young man off so easily. When the time came, he would accidentally hurt a few of the Ye family’s young men’s companions, which would attract the Ye family’s young man to fully activate his main character’s power. The, the Ye family young man would gather a group of mystic masters and mystic gurus would destroy the Sect of Returning Hearts together.

In addition, other than this “small boss”, there was also had a “hidden boss” in Sect of Returning Hearts like Shi Fenglan, which would attract even greater forces to give the Ye family’s young man experience points.

“I’m familiar with this plot!”

This was the first time Jiang Beiran felt that the Sect of Returning Hearts had a “main character grand gift pack”. He originally thought that it would be quite comfortable to cultivate in a third-rate sect like the Sect of Returning Hearts for a few decades, but…? Why were there so many problems!?

“As expected, the world’s will can’t kill me, so it’s targeting the place where I’m staying. It’s too vicious!”

After venting his anger, Jiang Beiran realized that five options had appeared in front of him.

[ Option 1: Kill Ye Fan before the three-year period arrives. Reward: Heavenly Punishment (low tier heaven grade)] [ Option 2: Help Lu Qingyin become stronger so that she won’t lose in the battle with Ye Fan. Reward: Blood Rain Scripture (mid tier earth-grade)]

[ Option 3: Break away from Sect of Returning Hearts. Reward: Secret Skill of Sheng Yang (high tier black grade)]

[ Option 4: Persuade Lu Yinlong not to break off the engagement. Completion Reward: True Scroll of Xuan Bird (mid tier black grade)] [ Option 5: Find Ye Fan and eliminate his hatred towards Sect of Returning Hearts before the three-year period arrives. Completion Reward: Random basic skill points + 1]

“Sh*t! This Ye Fan is also a main character. According to Lu Qingyin, he is only at level 3 qi refining realm, and killing him is actually a low-tier heaven grade difficulty. Could it be that he can become extremely strong at any time? Or could it be that killing him is very easy, but it will cause a series of consequences, such as wrath from his mystic master or mystic guru level father or something like that?’ He didn’t analyze the other options. They were all useless anyway, so he directly chose option 5. Jiang Beiran began to think about the next plan.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Lu Qiufang cupped his hands at Lu Yinlong and said, “Then since father still has something to do, we’ll leave first. Qingyin, come over quickly.” After saying that, he waved at Lu Qingyin.

Lu Qingyin waved at Lu Yinlong and said, “Goodbye, grandpa. I’ll come and play with you tonight.”

“Okay, go,” Lu Yinlong said with a doting smile.

Lu Qingyin walked to Lu Qiufang’s side and turned her head to look at Jiang Beiran for a while. She gave him a thoughtful look and then left with Lu Qiufang.

After the two of them left, Lu Yinlong looked at Jiang Beiran and said with a smile, “Haha, my little granddaughter looks good, right?”

III

Jiang Beiran had thought that Lu Yinlong would look at him and say something like, “It’s just some family affairs.” He didn’t expect that Lu Yinlong would talk about his granddaughter instead.

“He really dotes on her…” Jiang Beiran thought.

It was no wonder that option 4 was so difficult to persuade Lu Yinlong not to break off the engagement. First of all, he had a very high self-esteem. The most he could do was to appease the Ye family. It was impossible for him to apologize to them.

Plus, option 4 meant that Lu Yinlong had to force his granddaughter to do something that she didn’t like. It was even more difficult.

Jiang Beiran cupped his hands and replied to such a granddaughter-obsessed person, “She has eternally beauty. Even the most beautiful lotus will become shy when it sees her. Her single smile could outshine a hundred beauties.”

“Hahahahaha.” Lu Yinlong was very happy after listening to it. “Good! What a good sentence, ‘She has eternally beauty. Even the most beautiful lotus will become shy when it sees her.’ Beiran, you are indeed very talented. Come, where were we talking just now?” “We were talking about some forces wiping out the Yellow Gang.’ “Oh, right. Do you have any other opinions?”

Jiang Beiran didn’t care about the Yellow Gang at the moment. After a few words of analysis, he ended the topic.

After listening to Jiang Beiran’s answer, Lu Yinlong suddenly changed his sitting position and asked, “When Qingyin was talking about her annulment just now, you seemed very nervous?”

“Sh*t! He noticed me.”

There was nothing he could do. After all, the impact of that incident was too strong, and Jiang Beiran could not hide his expression for a moment.

However, since he was found out, Jiang Beiran could only answer, “Because I have heard of this kind of thing before.”

“Oh? What kind of thing?”

“This… I dare not say.”
