This years gathering of young heroes includes other events. Apart from sparring with martial arts, music, calligraphy, drawing, and go playing are also included. In the end, the sect with the highest total score wins. Moreover, in order to show off this time, the Sect of Masked Moon has spent a huge amount of money. They have prepared a very tempting reward for the champion of each event.

Others may not know, but in the field of Go playing, there is no other young disciples who can compete with you in Rivernorth District, or even the entire Fengzhou. So this time, Ive decided to let you represent our Sect of Returning Hearts to participate in this competition.

Jiang Beiran was just about to speak when the system option popped up.

[ Option 1: Directly reject Zhang Heqing. Reward for completion: Red Cloud Sacred Seal (earth grade high tier)]

[ Option 2: Convince the sect master not to participate in this competition. Reward for completion: Eight Senses Technique (black grade high tier)]

[ Option 3: Leave the Sect of Returning Hearts. Reward for completion: Treasure Records of Mirage Sea (black grade low tier)]

[ Option 4: Agree to participate. Reward for completion: Random basic skill points + 1]

Damn it! Are you kidding me? Jiang Beiran cursed in his heart.

Looking at the four options in front of him, Jiang Beiran was instantly stunned. How long had it been since he had encountered the option of earth grade high tier? Combined with the two options below, if he didnt return this time, it was very likely that the Sect of Returning Hearts would be directly exterminated! Could it be that this Sect of Masked Moon is setting up a trap?

However, Jiang Beiran didnt let his shock show on his face. After choosing option 4, he agreed, I accept the order.

Dont be in a hurry to refuse. This matter Eh!? You agreed? Zhang Heqing looked at Jiang Beiran with a shocked expression and asked.

Zhang Heqing had already thought of a few excuses and swore that no matter what excuse Jiang Beiran came up with this time, he would force him to go. However, he didnt expect Jiang Beiran to agree just like that.

Yes, its my honor that Order Master is willing to entrust this important task to me.

Hahaha! After hearing that, Zhang Heqing immediately got up and walked around the table to Jiang Beirans side, patting his shoulder and saying, I knew you were a sensible disciple! You know when to stand up for the sect, I am very gratified!

Order Master, you flatter me. I have been groomed by the Sect of Returning Hearts for many years. I should have done my best for the honor of the sect.

Beiran, I didnt expect you

Hearing Zhang Heqings voice suddenly choked with sobs, Jiang Beiran quickly looked up and saw that Zhang Heqing was actually wiping his tears.

For real? Do you need to be so touched? Jiang Beiran ridiculed Order Master in his heart.

Jiang Beiran hurriedly stood up. For a moment, he really didnt know what to do. He tried to comfort Zhang Heqing, but he felt that it was weird. If he could help Zhang Heqing wipe away his tears, it would feel even weirder.

Seeing that Jiang Beiran was at a loss, Zhang Heqing wiped away his tears and said, Sorry, I lost my composure for a moment. I used to think that you were a disrespectful, unruly, and talented person

Order Master. Can we skip the derogatory remarks and praise me instead? I know that I was wrong.

Good, good, good. Zhang Heqing nodded and said with emotion, It seems that I have misunderstood you in the past. In fact, you still treat our sect as your home in your heart.

Of course. If it werent for the Sect of Returning Hearts, I would have died outside long ago. For the sect, I am willing to go through fire and water!

Very good. Im really touched that you have such a heart. Sit down please.

Returning to his seat, Zhang Heqing drank a mouthful of hot tea, after calming his mind for a while, he continued, This time, the Sect of Masked Moons sect masters birthday banquet is scheduled for the middle of September. Although I know that your Go skill is superb, I still hope that you can practice properly for a while during this period of time. Its never wrong to treat it seriously.

Yes.

The middle of September that means that theres still nearly two months of time, so I have to make some more preparations. Judging from the difficulty of this option, if I dont make sufficient preparations, its very likely that Ill encounter an option thats at least yellow grade, or even black grade. Seeing Jiang Beiran was thinking deeply, Zhang Heqing simply stood out and felt deeply comforted.

After pouring himself another cup of tea, Zhang Heqing said, Beiran.

Yes.

Did you just say that you were helping Order Master Shi to take care of the flowers and plants?

Yes. Jiang Beiran nodded.

Actually, Im quite knowledgeable about flowers and plants. Why dont I go with you another day? We cant just let you do all the hard work alone, right?

You also like flowers?

Do I look like a flower lover? Zhang Heqing posed and asked. Yes, you do! Im deeply touched that Order Master is so considerate.

Its my duty. Then you go and talk to Order Master Shi about this tomorrow. If she agrees, Ill go with you.

Agree? Agree to what? Jiang Beiran was puzzled.

Well Zhang Heqing hesitated for a moment before replying, Since youve met Order Master Shi, you should know that shes a little special. Thats why the sect master has set a rule to limit the number of times for us higher-ups to go to the Mirror Garden However, if we get Order Master Shis permission, we can go there freely. I see

Jiang Beiran immediately thought of those disciples who lined up at the gate of the Mirror Garden every day.

So tragic

Sighing in his heart, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands and agreed, I understand.

Nodding with a smile, Zhang Heqing continued, Are you satisfied with the cultivation place that I gave you in the back of the mountain?

Yes, Im quite satisfied. The spiritual essence in that piece of land is very abundant. Order Master, thank you.

Youve done so much for the Order of Blue Heart, you earned it. Also, I remember that you said that you wanted some of the Thunder Lord Charcoal, right?

Order Master, youre abusing your power again! Jiang Beiran ridiculed Zhang Heqing in his heart.

Whether it was forging or alchemy, they could not be done without the heat. The Thunder Lord Charcoal was a very good fuel. Not only could it produce a high temperature that ordinary charcoal flames could not reach, but it could also make the spiritual essence in the surroundings more active. Thus, the effects of the refined pills would be better.

However, a good thing like the Thunder Lord Charcoal was considered a rare item in the entire Sect of Returning Hearts. Moreover, most of it had been divided up by the Order of Kindness and the Order of Baizhang. Therefore, it was hard to get one Thunder Lord Charcoal as a disciple of the order of Blue Heart Hall.

But now A certain Order Master was obviously going to use his authority to get one for him.

Sighing in his heart, Jiang Beiran nodded and said, Yes, I have wanted this item for a long time.

Alright, since you still want it, then Ill help you think of a way.

Thank you, Order Master.

Mm, then thats it. Come, drink some tea, drink some tea, its already cold.

Jiang Beiran left after about an hour. He had heard enough Zhang Heqings repeatedly saying Be more attentive. He turned around and looked at the bright starry sky. Jiang Beiran could not help but shake his head.

Sigh, this Sect of Returning Hearts is going to be doomed.
