I Just Won’t Play by the Book

Since knowing that the "special products" on Jinding Island will be different due to map switching, Jiang Beiran has started a new round of personnel selection.

The group selected before are the most elite "workers" of Linglongfang.

But there are actually quite a few who are not as elite as they are. After screening them again, they can be used as well.

As time passed, Jiang Beiran's Bixiao Club lineup became more and more complete and larger.

Inner City, Sky Palace.

"Miss."

"Miss."

With the respectful greetings from the maids, Shi Jiamu walked in all the way.

"Mother!" Shi Jiamu shouted, pounced on a dignified woman sitting beside the bed.

Holding Shi Jiamu who rushed over, Shi Ruijing touched her hair and said, "You know how to come and see your mother."

Burying his head into Shi Ruijing's arms and rubbing it twice, Shi Jiamu sullenly said, "Mother~"

Shaking her head with a smile, Shi Ruijing rubbed her daughter's smooth black hair and asked, "You are much closer to your aunt recently than your mother."

"No~" Shi Jiamu raised her head to look at her mother and said with a smile, "I recently went to my aunt's place for official business after being busy for Bi Xiao."

"Really?" Shi Ruijing smiled slightly, "How are the preparations?"

"Well prepared! It must be our Shi family who will win the championship this time!"

"Well said!" At this moment, a middle-aged man came out from behind the screen, "Jia'er, Daddy is waiting for you to make a face for me."

Seeing Daddy coming, Shi Jiamu quickly stood up and shouted, "Dad."

"Yeah." Nodding, Shi Yingfa sat on the comb-back chair behind him and took the teacup handed over by the maid. Shi Yingfa opened the lid and flicked the teacup twice, then suddenly looked up at Shi Jiamu and asked, "Yona Jiangbei How's it going?"

"That's it... He's a weirdo." Shi Jiamu replied.

"What kind of weird method?" Shi Yingfa asked with great interest.

"He is obviously very capable, but he doesn't look like a capable person at all."

After Shi Yingfa heard it, he laughed twice, "Then how do you feel like a capable person?"

"It's subconsciously awe-inspiring, just like Dad."

"Oh? Hahahaha." Shi Ying laughed twice, "Often those who seem to be incompetent are much more reliable at critical moments than those who are usually very capable, since you are already familiar with him. Get up, then study more and watch more on weekdays, I believe you will benefit a lot."

After hearing this, Shi Jiamu couldn't help but say, "Dad~ you have never seen that uncle, so you have such a high opinion of him?"

"Just because he was invited by the ancestors is enough to make me look at him differently." Shi Yingfa finished and took a sip of hot tea, "Oh, by the way, have you decided on the candidate for the Bixiao Club? Your six uncles. I just brought this up today, your brother Yong Yuan is gearing up, just waiting for you to find him."

"this……"

Seeing Shi Jiamu looking away, Shi Yingfa asked, "Why, you've already selected all of them?"

"Well... that's right." Shi Jiamu nodded.

"What does it mean? Why is your child's speech always vague today?"

Seeing that Daddy was a little unhappy, Shi Jiamu quickly explained: "It's just that the candidate list is already there, and there is only one final round of screening."

"Is your brother Yongyuan not in the list?"

"Well, no."

"Oh?" Shi Yingfa was a little surprised, "Your brother Yongyuan defeated a Xuanhuang of Zhulongbao by leaps and bounds last time. You are considered the best of your generation, but you can't even catch your eye? Then? Dad is really curious about who you have chosen, can you bring the list with you?"

"I brought it with..."

Seeing her daughter's hesitation, Shi Yingfa directly stretched out her hand and said, "Bring it."

"Yes..." Shi Jiamu agreed and handed the candidate list to Dad.

After Shi Yingfa took it, he opened it and looked at it, and his expression became a little more exciting.

After a while, Shi Yingfa closed the roster, "Your uncle agrees?"

"Well, I agree."

"Hahaha!" Shi Yingfa laughed after hearing this, "This Jiang Beiran is indeed very capable."

Shi Jiamu wouldn't be stupid enough to ask Daddy how he knew that the book was chosen by Jiang Beiran, because it was too obvious.

Handing the roster back to Shi Jiamu, Shi Ying said with a smile, "But you have to be mentally prepared. You should have a headache in a few days."

Shi Jiamu instantly understood what Daddy meant, and replied with a wry smile, "Why don't I stay at home for a few days."

"That's not good. It's useless to escape. The problem you should deal with has to be dealt with."

"I... ok."

Three days later, Shi Jiamu came to the Valley of Thousand Flowers with a face of embarrassment, rushed into Jiang Beiran's hut and shouted.

"Uncle! Give me an idea, I'm getting bored."

"..."

Quiet, the room was empty, and no one responded to her.

Just when Shi Jiamu was going to look elsewhere, he heard the back door of the room open with a creak.

"What's the matter? Xiao Beiran said he was going to go out for a few days and left in the morning." Shi Fenglan walked in and said.

"Let's go!?" Shi Jiamu's eyes widened suddenly, she was waiting for someone to "help", but he ran away.

"What's the matter, are you in a hurry to find Xiao Beiran?

? "Seeing Shi Jiamu's shocked look, Shi Fenglan asked strangely.

"Yes, urgent, very urgent."

Shi Fenglan immediately patted her chest and said, "It's the same thing if you're in a hurry to find me. Come on, I'll help you."

But Shi Jiamu still shook her head after looking at her little aunt up and down for a while and said, "Forget it, I figured out a solution myself."

"Hey!" Shi Fenglan shouted, "Are you underestimating my ability?"

"Yes." Shi Jiamu nodded.

"You! You've learned badly from Xiao Beiran!" Shi Fenglan pointed at Shi Jiamu and shouted.

Shi Jiamu was about to tease her little aunt again, when she suddenly felt a powerful profound energy flying towards her.

"Why can't I get rid of it..."

Shouting in her heart, Shi Jiamu opened the door and was about to run when she saw a man in a beautiful blue silk brocade robe falling in front of her from midair.

"Brother Jing Huan..."

Seeing the person coming, Shi Jiamu shouted aloud.

"You still know that I'm your brother. Seeing me is like seeing a ghost, running so fast." Shi Jinghuan said dissatisfied.

"I...I have something urgent."

"That's just right. I also have an urgent matter to find you. There are only three days left before the Bixiao meeting. Don't tell me you haven't decided who you want to go."

"A choice is a choice... Hey! Uncle! Why are you here?"

As soon as he heard that the sage was coming, Shi Jinghuan hurriedly saluted in the direction Shi Jiamu was looking at, but found that there was no one at all.

"You girl!"

When he looked back again, Shi Jinghuan found that Shi Jiamu had run away again.

"You wait for me!"

At this moment, Shi Jiamu, who had already run out of the Valley of Thousand Flowers, only felt bitter in her heart. She was obviously the one chosen by the uncle, so why was she the one who was unlucky.

As Daddy said before, when the Bixiao meeting was approaching, the brothers and sisters in the clan couldn't sit still and came to her to ask for an explanation.

There are side-by-side attacks, and there are straight-forward ones, and the questions asked are the same.

Why not choose him (her).

Shi Jiamu is also really difficult. In the face of slightly unfamiliar brothers and sisters, she can still put on the air of captain, saying that this is not what he should ask.

But those brothers who grew up with her are not good enough, and they will be hammered if they say so directly.

She came to Jiang Beiran this time, just to ask him to ask him to give her some of the most troublesome brothers, but she didn't expect him to run away.

‘Uncle! I hate you! ’

Shi Jiamu shouted in his heart as he ran away.

On the other side, Jiang Beiran was drinking wine with Lu Yangyu in the Taiyi Pavilion.

As soon as he woke up in the morning, three options popped up in front of him. The meaning was very simple, and it would be troublesome to continue to stay in the hut.

Jiang Beiran understood the reason after thinking for a moment. Seeing that it was almost time for the Bixiao meeting, those juniors of the Shi family who were eager to show their performance would definitely come to ask for a "place". If they didn't come by then, it was inevitable that they would be angry with him. What kind of trouble to come.

So Jiang Beiran chose to sneak three times without thinking, and ran to Lu Yangyu.

"Ding."

The two touched glasses, raised their necks and took a sip of the wine.

"Ha~" Lu Yangyu breathed out a sip of alcohol comfortably, "Beiran, the more you drink, the more flavorful your wine is. It seems that I will have this sip for the rest of my life."

Now, although Lu Yangyu has also learned to distill, good wine can't be brewed so quickly, and even if it is brewed, it can't compare with Jiang Beiran, so Lu Yangyu has said all good things about Jiang Beiran now, just to deceive two people. drink.

"Ha~"

After drinking another glass of strong wine, Lu Yangyu looked at Jiang Beiran and said, "Oh, yes, Lao Shen has written to me, saying that the ancient book has already got its eyes on it. It is estimated that you should be able to start the next step when you return from Jinding Island."

"it is good."

Hearing that Jiang Beiran still didn't care much, Lu Yangyu couldn't understand whether he was interested in this ancient book.

Jiang Beiran stayed in Linglongfang for the next few days, and he didn't return to Wanhua Valley until the day before his departure.

"Little Beiran!"

Seeing Jiang Beiran who suddenly opened the door and walked in, Shi Fenglan, who was bored and dazed in the room, stood up and shouted.

"Where have you been these two days!"

"Secret." Jiang Beiran said and walked into the room.

Following Jiang Beiran to the tea room, Shi Fenglan said as she walked, "I have come to see you several times in the past two days, and she looks very anxious."

Jiang Beiran, who understands the reason, can fully imagine how devastated she is these days, but he doesn't mean to help Shi Jiamu, after all...

She is the captain.

After boiling a pot of water, Jiang Beiran looked at Shi Fenglan and asked, "Is she not here today?"

"Well, I didn't come after I knew you weren't at home. What a ruthless little girl, I'm so good to her!"

As soon as Shi Fenglan finished speaking, there was a hurried knock on the door.

"Come in." Jiang Beiran said.

With a "bang", the door was pushed open. Shi Jiamu rushed in and was about to speak when his eyes were drawn to Jiang Beiran, who was sitting there drinking tea.

"Uncle!!!"

Shi Jiamu shouted, "Where have you been these days!"

"Take a walk." Jiang Beiran replied indifferently.

"For a walk!?" Shi Jiamu rushed to Jiang Beiran aggressively

, Just as he was about to speak, he was frightened by Jiang Beiran's eyes and took three steps back.

After gasping for two breaths, Shi Jiamu shouted aggrievedly: "Three days! Do you know how I got here these three days!"

Looking up at Shi Jiamu, Jiang Beiran said, "Do you need me to touch your head and say something hard?"

Shi Jiamu was stunned for a moment and replied, "This... this is not necessary."

"Then don't act like a spoiled child. Since the elders of your family will let you take the position of captain this time, it means that they have high expectations for you and want to train you. After you have power, your playmate, you Brothers and sisters, your life will be turned upside down and this is just the beginning."

It's amazing, even though it was just a short sentence, Shi Jiamu's complaints about the uncle disappeared in one fell swoop.

'So...the purpose of his leaving is to let me face all this alone. ’

Thinking about what happened in the past few days, as the uncle said, whether it was her former friends or her elder brothers who took good care of her, they have all changed, or the relationship between them has changed.

It is no longer so pure.

"Uncle, is this... growing up?" Shi Jiamu looked at Jiang Beiran and asked.

"Well, congratulations you are already an adult." Jiang Beiran nodded.

Taking a deep breath, Shi Jiamu saluted Jiang Beiran as if he had suddenly grown a lot.

Because she already understood that what the uncle did was entirely for her own good.

Nodding with satisfaction, Jiang Beiran said, "Okay, let's get ready, see you tomorrow."

"Well, see you tomorrow, uncle."

Waving at Jiang Beiran, Shi Jiamu walked towards the door.

When Shi Jiamu was far away, Shi Fenglan, who had been listening, suddenly asked, "Xiao Beiran, how can you become an adult?"

"Aren't you there now?"

"No!" Shi Fenglan sighed as she spoke, "My family treats me as a child, and they don't let me know about anything. When I heard you say that just now, I suddenly felt a little envious."

After speaking, Shi Fenglan grabbed Jiang Beiran's arm and prayed, "Xiao Beiran, can you help me become an adult too?"

"No help."

Listening to Xiao Beiran's neat answer, Shi Fenglan said "hum": "Stingy! You obviously helped Momo'er become an adult, why can't you help me too!"

As soon as Shi Fenglan finished speaking, she heard a "bang", and the wooden door was blown open by a gust of wind.

At the same time, a very strong momentum came straight to Jiangbei.

'What are you doing this is...'

Looking at the overturned tea set, Jiang Beiran was full of black lines.

Having been here for a month, Jiang Beiran has long realized that the line of sight that has been staring at him comes from Shi Fenglan's father.

'I'm not serious... I have a dirty mind, why are you taking anger on me. ’

Shi Fenglan ran to the door and looked out, then closed the door and asked Jiang Beiran, "Where is this demonic wind coming from?"

"Who knows."
