Chapter 149 Why Beiran Didn’t Come Back 3

After they finished talking about Brother Jiang, the five of them were no longer in the mood to continue talking about what happened after that. At this moment, Fang Qiuyao’s eyes suddenly lit up, she came behind Yu Manwen and helped her massage her shoulders. “Law Protector Yu, you really have an eye for talent. You brought Brother Jiang here to make him an iron seal for us before he was famous.”

Hearing this, Yu Manwen replied with a chuckle, “I remember that you were very unhappy at that time.” Fang Qiuyao could not help but blush when she heard this, but she quickly tried to curry favor with Yu Manwen. “I was still young at that time. Now I completely understand your painstaking efforts.”

Yu Manwen closed her eyes and enjoyed Fang Qiuyao’s massage. She shook her head and said, “But I’m not the one with an eye for talent.” After saying that, Yu Manwen opened her eyes and glanced at Liu Zijin.

“Right.” At this moment, Fang Qiuyao suddenly remembered that the first person who noticed Jiang Beiran was Sister Zijin. After hearing that, Liu Zijin didn’t respond. Instead, she changed the topic and said, “Law Protector Yu, why are you suddenly asking about this? Did something happen to Brother Jiang?”

“Oh, no.” Yu Manwen shook her head. “I’m just a little curious about why Jiang Beiran didn’t come back. Now that I’ve heard the story from you guys, I have an idea.”

“Eh?!” The five pretty faces immediately came together in front of Yu Manwen. “Law Protector Yu, do you know why Brother Jiang didn’t come back with us?”

“It just a guess.” Looking at the five curious faces, Yu Manwen laughed lightly and said, “Think about it. Many big shots went to celebrate Sect Master Guan’s birthday this time, right?”

“Yes, yes.” The five girls nodded in unison.

“Then Jiang Beiran, as a qi refining realm disciple, became the hot topic. He will definitely attract the attention of some big shots. It is very likely that they have also discovered the uniqueness of Jiang Beiran. Perhaps they are secretly training him somewhere.” “Oh…”

The five girls dragged out their voices at the same time. They felt that what Yu Manwen said made sense.

“So, you don’t have to worry. He will definitely be fine.” Yu Manwen stood up after saying that. “Then you guys continue chatting. I’ll be leaving first.”

However, just as Yu Manwen turned around, she saw Fang Qiuyao coming in front of her and kneeling down.

“Qiuyao, what are you doing?” Yu Manwen asked.

“Law Protector Yu, through this Gathering of Young Heroes, we have deeply felt our inadequacies. Therefore, we want to take you as our master, Law Protector Yu. We want to cultivate under your guidance.”

Liu Zijin and the others immediately reacted after hearing Fang Qiuyao. They quickly ran to Yu Manwen and knelt down. “Law Protector Yu, please accept us as your disciples.”

Looking at the five pairs of sincere eyes, Yu Manwen smiled and said, “I can accept you as my disciples, but you have to agree to one condition of mine.”

“Young Master Jiang, we are close the border of Rivernorth. Which town do you think we should go to first?” In the Sturdy Bull carriage, Ah Niu lifted the curtain and asked.

Jiang Beiran thought for a while and answered, “Let’s go to Suitong Town first. Brother Ah Niu, do you know the way?”

“I’m really not familiar with Rivernorth. Let me think…”

Seeing that Ah Niu didn’t know the way, Jiang Beiran took out a map from his storage ring and opened it. He pointed at it and said, “We should be at this location now. Suitong Town is at this location. There should be an official road a few miles northwest. Just follow it.”

“Okay…” Ah Niu took the map from Jiang Beiran’s hand. “The map of Rivernorth is so good-looking. This road is so easy to recognize.”

Hearing Ah Niu praising it so excitedly, Kong Qianqian, who was sitting at the back, also ran over and looked at the map in Ah Niu’s hand curiously.

“Wow! This isn’t a map, it’s a master’s painting.” After saying that, Kong Qianqian waved at Mu Yao. “Sister Mu, come and take a look. This map is so beautiful.”

“It’s just a map, how beautiful can it be?”

“Come and take a look! It’s really beautiful!” “I really can’t do anything to you.” Mu Yao sighed and slowly walked over to take a look at the map.

Seeing that her senior sister was stunned, Kong Qianqian tugged at her skirt and said proudly, “Isn’t it beautiful? Isn’t it beautiful?”

“Well… it’s not bad.” Mu Yao nodded.

“Hehe.” Kong Qianqian smiled and looked at Jiang Beiran. “Sir, did you draw this?”

“Yes.” Jiang Beiran nodded.

“Wow!” Two stars appeared in Kong Qianqian’s eyes. “Sir, you can draw!?”

Kong Qianqian had witnessed too many of Jiang Beiran’s abilities on the way, but she didn’t expect that there were still things that she hadn’t discovered.

“Sir, you are really too powerful. Please accept me as your disciple.”

After Kong Qianqian finished speaking, she was about to kneel down, but was grabbed by Jiang Beiran and Mu Yao at the same time.

After lifting her up together, Mu Yao reprimanded Kong Qianqian, “How many times have I said it? You are a member of the demonic cult! How can you acknowledge a righteous sect disciple as your master?”

“It doesn’t matter. If Mr. Jiang and Sister Mu keep it as secret, and if Brother Ah Niu doesn’t tell anybody, then no one will know.” After saying that, she looked at Ah Niu, “Brother Ah Niu, you won’t tell anyone, right?”

Ah Niu, who was looking at the map, smiled and replied, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.”

“Hehe.” Kong Qianqian smiled foolishly. She looked at Mu Yao and said, “Sister Mu, there will be no problem.” “When did I promise you not to tell anyone? That’s not right! You’re not allowed to acknowledge him as your master!”

Jiang Beiran ignored their daily “quarrel”. He looked at Ah Niu and asked, “Brother Ah Niu, do you know the way now?” “Don’t worry, leave it to me.” After Ah Niu said that, he pulled the curtain and concentrated on driving the carriage.

Kong Qianqian was about to beg Jiang Beiran again, but she was pulled back by Mu Yao. She could only look at Jiang Beiran with a wronged expression, expressing her desire to be Jiang Beiran’s disciple.

Jiang Beiran, on the other hand, continued to consider his plan to investigate the Huang

Gang.

There was a reason why Jiang Beiran chose to go to Suitong Town first. When he asked Qing Huan to investigate earlier, he had already grasped the scope of the Huang Gang’s influence. Suitong Town was the most remote place, there were not many members of the Yellow Gang stationed there.

As he already knew that the background of the Yellow Gang was not simple, Jiang Beiran could not let Wu Qingce or Gu Qing Huan investigate further. Otherwise, if the higher-ups of Yellow Gang alerted, his excellent right-hand man would get kill.

In the end, he decided to investigate on his own. If the system had repeatedly gave him dangerous options, he would stop. After all, he had never promised the two big shots that he would find any useful leads of back at the Sect of Masked Moon. As long as he found out some information, it would be enough.

Fortunately, he had almost tamed Mu Yao along the way. Basically, if he asked her to follow his orders, she would only defy him a little. But in the end, she would agree to do so.

After all, she ate a lot of his delicious food along the way. In the end, she even took some food, saying that she was going to bring it back to her father to be appraised.

“I hope that when we reach the territory of the Yellow Gang later, she will be as obedient.’
