Chapter 148 Why Beiran Didn’t Come Back 2

“Did… did something happen?” asked Yu Manwen, who was sitting at the square table.

This question seemed to arouse the excitement of Liu Zijin and the others, and they all rushed to say it.

“Law Protector Yu, Brother Jiang is really in the limelight this time!”

“On the day of Sect Master Guan’s birthday banquet, many people from the demonic cult suddenly came. The cult master of the Spirit Dragon Cult, Yin Jianghong, was also promoted to mystic master! We thought that there would be a fight.”

“But who knew that the purpose of Cult Master Yin’s visit was to let the demonic cult disciples participate in the Gathering of Young Heroes with us. After that…”

Yu Manwen had also heard about the demonic cult during the meeting. However, Sect Master and Incense Master did not explain in detail. So, she did not know what exactly happened after that.

Therefore, seeing that Fang Qiuyao hesitated to continue, Yu Manwen hurriedly asked, “What happened after that?”

At this moment, Yu Guishui continued, “After that, we righteous sect disciples lost terribly… Whether it was a martial competition or literary competition, we were inferior to those demonic cult disciples.” After Yu Guishui said that, she added, “Incense Master told us not to tell anyone about this in detail, so please…”

“Is that so?” Yu Manwen was a little surprised. “I only heard Sect Master say that Wu Qingce of the Order of Chaos Star had won the martial competition. I thought…”

At this point, Yu Manwen understood. It seemed that Sect Master had reported the good news but not the bad news.

Yu Manwen nodded and said, “I know. What happened after that?”

“Later, when the demonic cult disciple won the title of the champion of many competitions consecutively, Brother Jiang stood out! He defeated an extremely powerful demonic cult disciple in Go competition. At that time, everyone cheered for a long time.”

“Jiang Beiran!?”

“Stood out in the limelight!?”

Yu Manwen was shocked. She felt that the Jiang Beiran mentioned by these five girls did not seem to be the same person that she knew.

Then, one of the five girls immediately added, “Brother Jiang was very impressive at that time. He even played blind Go with the genius of the demonic cult, Mu Jiuri.”

“Yes, yes. They played amazingly fast. Even the head judge did not have time to memorize their moves.”

“At first, Mu Jiuri was very confident, but not long after, Brother Jiang made him drenched in sweat.”

When it was Yu Guimao’s turn, she felt that she had said everything, so she shouted, “Yes, yes! That demonic cult genius was no match for senior brother!”

Then, the five of them took turns to describe what happened after that, until they talked about the match between Wu Qingce and Mu Yao.

“At that time, everyone was focused on watching the match. We were all trying their best to cheer for Brother Wu. But out of everybody’s expectation…” Yu Guimu looked at his sister and saw her nodding her head. Then, she continued, “Who knew that at this time, a despicable man at the superior mystic practitioner realm suddenly hit my sister with his palm. We didn’t even have time to react at that time. However, Brother Jiang took action!”

At this point, Yu Guishui was so excited that she kept waving her hands. She even specially pulled Yu Guishui to replay the scene. “At that time, I only heard Brother Jiang shouted, ‘be careful!’ and he didn’t hesitate to turn around and protect my sister in his arms.” When Yu Guishui, who was being held in Yu Guishui’s arms, heard this, her pretty face suddenly turned red. All kinds of memories of her senior brother from that time immediately surfaced in her mind. “Strong arms, thick chest, and that firm voice…”

When Yu Guishui was performing with all her heart, Yu Manwen’s expression was already extremely shocked.

“He took a hit from a superior mystic practitioner!?”

This made Yu Manwen instantly think of the Immortal Feather Robe that Order Master Shi had given Jiang Beiran. When Yu Guishui saw that Yu Manwen seemed to be very surprised, she immediately became excited. She hurriedly continued, “At that time, we were all scared out of our wits. Brother Jiang spat out a lot of blood and his aura slowly disappeared. But who knew that just when Sect Master wanted to avenge Brother Jiang, he suddenly came back to life!”

Seeing that she would not have the chance to speak if she kept quiet, Yu Guimiao quickly interrupted the conversation and continued, “Later on, everyone said that if Brother Jiang had not died, the righteous sects and the demonic cults would definitely start a war. They might have formed a deadly enmity. Therefore, they said that Brother Jiang could have saved the entire Fengzhou.”

“Then, doesn’t anyone find it strange that Jiang Beiran didn’t die after being hit by the superior mystic practitioner’s palm?”

Although Yu Manwen knew that Jiang Beiran was fine because he had the Immortal Feather Robe protecting his body, she was not sure if the others also knew about this matter. If Order Master Shi was involved, she would have to prepare some excuse.

“Of course, everyone was surprised. However, Sect Master Guan of the Sect of Masked Moon explained that he worried that Brother Jiang would be attacked by the other members of the demonic cult after he won the Go. So, he gave him a treasure armor, which saved Brother Jiang’s life.”

“So that’s how it is…” Yu Manwen slowly nodded. She somewhat understood in her heart who had “sent” Jiang Beiran this time.

However, she quickly fell into deep thought again, because she had been very curious from the beginning why Jiang Beiran would participate in this competition. This completely did not conform to his style of doing things.

In the end, such a big commotion had happened in the Sect of Masked Moon. This was really too much a bit of a coincidence?

In addition, Jiang Beiran had asked the Order Master Shi for a magical item, which made her feel very strange. Now, he had really used the magical item to resolve a huge crisis. All of this seemed very logical. “But isn’t it a bit too much of a coincidence? This Jiang Beiran… is indeed not an ordinary in-name disciple.” Yu Manwen thought.

Seeing Law Protector Yu stunned, Yu Guimiao asked, “Law Protector Yu, do you also feel that Brother Jiang is in the limelight this time?” “Well… He is in the limelight.”
