I Just Won't Play By The Book

Chapter 202 Soaring Into the Sky 2

Yu Manwen bowed and said, “Thank you for the invitation, Order Master Zhang. However, I have an appointment, and I promised my disciples that I would celebrate with them. I’m sorry.”

“Oh, don’t worry about it. Let’s meet again another day.”

“Okay.” Yu Manwen nodded and walked down the slope.

Looking at Yu Manwen’s back as she left, Zhang Heqing looked at the storage ring and sighed, but he quickly adjusted himself.

“It doesn’t matter. At least Law Protector Yu has agreed to meet again another day!”

In an instant, Zhang Heqing’s mood became beautiful again.

At night, after praising Liu Zijin and the other three, Yu Manwen returned to Tinglan Waterside Pavilion after having dinner with them.

As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, Shi Fenglan ran over to her and asked, “Did you ask? Did you ask?”

Yu Manwen smiled and shook her head. She replied, “Yes, I did. However, Order Master Zhang doesn’t seem to know where Jiang Beiran went either.”

“Oh…” Shi Fenglan pouted after hearing that. “It’s been almost a month. Why isn’t there any news at all? Seriously!”

“He should be back soon. Before he left, he said that it wouldn’t take too long.”

“Humph! When he comes back this time, I must have him play with me for three days straight! No! Five days!”

Yu Manwen smiled and echoed a few words after she heard that. However, she was a little worried because Jiang Beiran usually had a very specific plan whether it was to talk or do things. He originally said that he wouldn’t be away for too long, but he was gone for quite a while.

“I wonder if he has bumped into some trouble?”

At this moment, Jiang Beiran was standing on a tree in Jiyuan Town, silently watching Ye Fan, who was cultivating below.

Originally, after destroying the bracelet, Jiang Beiran intended to go back to Sect of Returning Hearts. However, as soon as he had this idea in his mind, two options popped up from the system.

[ Option 1: Return to Sect of Returning Hearts. Reward: Jade Scale Spirit Book (low-tier earth-grade)]

[ Option 2: Stay in Jiyuan Town. Reward: Random basic attribute points + 1]

Although there were only two options, Jiang Beiran felt that there was a huge amount of information in it. The first option was to specifically return to Sect of Returning Hearts, and the second option had asked him to specifically stay in Jiyuan town.

Would there be an earth grade level trouble if he returned to the sect, or would there be an earth grade level trouble if he left Jiyuan Town.

In the end, Jiang Beiran naturally chose option 2. In his guess, it was very likely that even though the bracelet was destroyed, the “grandpa” inside was still lingering around and would find Ye Fan through other means. After that old spirit control over Ye Fan, the old spirit would continue to find trouble for himself.

Otherwise, Jiang Beiran really couldn’t think of any other reason why the system would ask him to stay in this Jiyuan Town.

Therefore, after instructing Wu Qingce and the other two to stay in the town for a while, Jiang Beiran began to secretly observe Ye Fan.

After recovering his talent, Ye Fan indeed displayed the talent that a protagonist should have. In just ten days, he directly rose six levels and broke through to the mystic realm. Although it was relatively easy to break through from the qi refining realm, no one had ever seen a person gained one level in two days like him.

Ye Fan’s sudden increase in cultivation naturally caused all the members of the Ye family to cry out in surprise. In just a few days, he had once again changed from that trash who was ridiculed by everyone to the favored son of heaven.

This made the Ye family disciples who had once bullied him feel a little flustered, especially Ye Yong, who had just beaten him up a few times. He even avoided Ye Fan every day.

However, Ye Fan had already experienced ups and down in his life. He had no intention of becoming arrogant. He also had no interest in taking revenge on an ant like Ye Yong. He only wanted to become stronger as soon as possible. He wanted to help the immortal as soon as possible.

“Phew…”

Ye Fan, who had completed another round of breathing exercises, slowly opened his eyes. Feeling the abundant mystic energy in his body, he once again bowed to the sky with gratitude. He was reminding himself of everything he had now, it was all given to him by the immortals.

“Brother Ye Fan, I feel like you’re going to break through again.” Xin Dong ‘er, who had been with Ye Fan’s side all this time, came up to him and said happily.

“Yes, it should be very soon.” Ye Fan nodded.

“That’s great! I knew Brother Ye Fan was the best!”

Looking at Xin Dong ‘er, who was sincerely happy for him, Ye Fan’s eyes were filled with gentleness.

No matter if he was the favored son of heaven or the shame of the Ye family, this girl had always been by his side. He knew that this girl was worthy of his lifetime’s protection.

While Ye Fan looked at Xin Dong ‘er with gentleness, Jiang Beiran on the tree looked at Xin Dong ‘er with worry in his eyes. Of course, this worry was not for Xin Dong ‘er, but for himself.

Now, Ye Fan’s talent had returned, and he had personally removed the buff of the annulment. So, if the plot went on, would there be a mystic master-level family showed up to snatch Xin Dong ‘er away?

If that was the case, Ye Fan wouldn’t be able to live peacefully for long. In order to save… or perhaps, to be worthy of Xin Dong ‘er, Ye Fan would soon embark on a path filled with thorns to become stronger.

“Don’t tell me you want me to be his master or something like that? This is a high-risk job…” Jiang Beiran made a complain to the system.

However, Jiang Beiran thought about it and felt that it should not be the case. After all, whether it was Xin Dong ‘er or Ye Fan, what did their story have to do with him? Every time the system popped up options, it was to let him live well. It was impossible for him to jump for Ye Fan.

“Sigh… it’s already been more than twenty days. I’ve witnessed how terrifying this Ye Fan is, but how long do I have to stay here?”

After drinking the soup made by Xin Dong ‘er, Ye Fan and her returned to Wu Qingce’s side, who was still their instructor.

“Instructor Wu.” Ye Fan stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

In Ye Fan’s eyes, as long as Instructor Wu had not left, it meant that the immortal was very likely still in town. Therefore, he had to work harder and harder. He absolutely could not let the immortal down.

Looking at Ye Fan who was bowing respectfully to him, Wu Qingce had a mixed feeling

Because this little junior brother candidate gave him too much pressure.

Not only did he break through from level 4 qi refining realm to mystic realm in just ten days, but he also didn’t stop after that. Now, he was about to break through to level 3 mystic realm.

This put a lot of pressure on him, who had only advanced one level in half a month.

Therefore, in order to consolidate his status as the number one disciple in his senior brother’s heart, Wu Qingce did not dare to slack off at all during this period of time. He spent all his free time on cultivation.

After the disciples were dismissed, Ye Fan ran into the butler who was walking towards him.

“Young Master Ye, Old Master has asked for you after your cultivation.”

“Alright.”

Nodding his head, Ye Fan turned his head and said to Xin Dong ‘er, “Dong ‘er, I’ll meet my grandfather first.”

“Okay, then I’ll wait for you at the usual place.” Xin Dong ‘er nodded her head and spoke.

Waving his hand at Xin Dong ‘er, Ye Fan came to the main hall.

“Greetings, Grandfather.” Ye Fan walked into the main hall and bowed.

After listening to many people’s flattery words, Ye Fan was already numb as if his heart would not move.

However, Ye Fan was a lot of respect to his grandfather, who had always been nice to him. He also knew that other than his father, only his grandfather treated them nicely.

“How is today’s cultivation?” Ye Lingtian asked with a smile.

Ever since Ye Fan recovered, as a grandfather, Ye Lingtian was naturally extremely happy. Every day, he would be able to eat a large bowl of food.

“Reporting to grandfather, in a few days, I should be able to break through to level 4.”

“Good!” Ye Lingtian slapped the armrest. “Perhaps all the hard work you’ve put in all these years has not been wasted. Now that the opportunity has arrived, all the rewards will come.”

Ye Lingtian naturally did not know why his grandson’s talent would suddenly return, so he could only imagine it. He thought that his grandson might have fallen into a really tough bottleneck. Then, he suddenly soared into the sky once he broke through the bottleneck. Thus, Ye Fan shocked the Ye family and even the entire Jiyuan Town again.
