Cards meet opponents, gambling meets good talent.

It was rare for Jiang Beiran to meet an opponent who played cards with his brain, so he was having a great time.

However, when it was almost noon, Jiang Beiran put down his cards and said,””Let’s stop here.”

At this moment, Shi Jiamu already had three sets of her own cards and was addicted to playing. How could she be willing to do it? She shouted,”That’s not even close. Let’s have another round.”

“You can play with Hall Master Shi.” Jiang Beiran had already stood up.” After saying that, he gave his card set to Shi Fenglan.

Shi Fenglan, who had received the card set, was unusually excited. She had been watching the whole night and was already itching to get it.

“Let me enter the Fei Mansion before playing.”

“Alright, let’s go in together.”

As soon as Shi Fenglan finished speakinz, the three of them instantlv arrived at her Flying Mansion.

Glancing at Shi Jiamu, Jiang Beiran said,””Stay on the first floor and play. You’re not allowed to come to the study on the second floor.”

“I know, I know.” Shi Jiamu nodded.

Seeing how eager he was to sit down at the mahjong table and try to get rid of the two of them, Jiang Beiran turned around and walked towards the second floor. However, just as he was about to step onto the stairs, he suddenly turned his head and used his spiritual power to test Shi Jiamu’s cultivation.

‘Xuan…King?

Jiang Beiran suddenly felt his head buzzing. Although he had already sensed that the younger generation of the Shi family had all grown up on elixirs, they couldn’t possibly be Mystic Kings at such a young age, could they?

Would he let the others live?

Could it be Tong Yan?

However, Jiang Beiran wasn’t interested enough to get to the bottom of it. After all, it didn’t matter whether she was a teenage Mystic King or a twenty- thirty-year-old Mystic King Tongyan.

Arriving at the study on the second floor, Jiang Beiran sat down cross-legged and heaved a sigh of relief.

‘As expected, it’s easier to think in the eye of the formation.’

With the experience of his previous failure, Jiang Beiran no longer just tried to understand the construction of these formations on the surface. Instead, he wanted to find a way to grasp the source and understand the principles behind them.

However, it was easier said than done. In this huge and delicate Flying Mansion, finding such a source was no different from finding a needle in a haystack.

‘It’s definitely not possible to find it by force…He had to sort out some ideas first.’

Soon, the day had passed. Jiang Beiran, who felt his head burning, rubbed his temples and decided to go out and rest for a while.

“Thump, thump, thump…”

Jiang Beiran had just reached the first floor when he heard Shi Jiamu shouting.

“Uncle! You’re finally down.”

Glancing at her, he yawned and said, “What’s the matter?”

“Come and bet on cards. Little Aunt is too weak. Even if you win, she won’t feel anything.”

“You’re the weak one!” Shi Fenglan shouted indignantly.

“How many rounds did you win today?”

“Then…That’s…” Shi Fenglan, who had only won two rounds with her spirit draw, stomped her foot and shouted at Jiang Beiran,””Little Bei Ran! She bullied me!”

Isn’t she the fighter you hired?’

Jiang Beiran didn’t say this out loud. Instead, he walked to Shi Fenglan’s side and said,””Take me out. I have something to do.”

Shi Fenglan could only reply with an ” oh ” and teleport out of the Fei Residence with Jiang Beiran and Shi Jiamu.

“Uncle, let’s bet two rounds before we leave.” “You two stay here and play. I still have things to do.”

Jiang Beiran pushed the door open and left.

After a whole afternoon of research, Jiang Beiran realized that he still needed to explore the concept of ” academics “. If he were to think about it alone, it would be easy for him to get into a dead end.

Therefore, after thinking about it, he still decided to find someone to discuss the problem of array formations.

It just so happened that he had finished writing the ” Array Book “. He could

send it to Gao Lanwen and visit the master of the Array Hall in Linglong Lane on the way.

Having made up his mind, Jiang Beiran went to look for Shi Hongfang.

After all, Ling Long Workshop was one of the important places of the Shi family. As an outsider, he definitely could not walk around casually. He had to be led by Shi Hongfang.

“Whoa, what a rare guest.”

When he saw Jiang Beiran paying him a visit, Shi Hongfang laughed and shouted.

However, he hesitated when he was about to call out the name ‘Beiran’.

The reason why he hadn’t gone to look for Jiang Beiran for such a long time was not only because he was helping Gao Lanwen compile books, but also because he was becoming more and more uncertain about Jiang Beiran’s identity after the last conversation with the old ancestor.

At the moment, he felt that it was most likely the reincarnation of a Saint.

The so-called reincarnation of a saint was when some powerful cultivators realized that their lifespan was about to end or that they were seriously injured and on the verge of death, they would use a technique to reincarnate their souls.

After successfully reincarnating, he would not immediately recall the events of his previous life. Instead, he would slowly recall them.

Because this process was very long, most Reincarnators would choose to keep a low profile.

Some were afraid of being discovered by their enemies, some understood the dangers of this world, and some simply wanted to make a fortune in silence. It was not easy for them to live again, so they naturally had to be cautious.

Jiang Beiran, on the other hand, was very much in line with the characteristics of the reincarnation of a saint.

He had great abilities but was unusually low-key. He was clearly only a young man with a cultivation of only the fifth level of Qi Refinement, but he was still calm when facing a Mystique Venerable or even a Mystique Sage. It was as if they had already dealt with each other.

In the past, Shi Hongfang had not thought so much about it. But now, he felt that the combination of these conditions was undoubtedly Jiang Beiran.

At the thought of the possibility that Jiang Beiran was the reincarnation of a Saint, Shi Hongfang suddenly felt that his next task would not be so easy..
