I Just Won't Play By The Book

317 Who Knows That I Would Encounter Such a Trap?_1

In the royal study, the jasmine flower was exuding its fresh, elegant, serene, and serene fragrance.

As the saying goes,” One flower can make a room fragrant.”

Especially in such a quiet environment, Jiang Beiran could clearly smell the fragrance of the jasmine flowers.

However, the young man in the beast fur coat was not in the mood to relax. He only felt that he was about to suffocate. How could he be in the mood to smell the fragrance of flowers?

“You haven’t thought about it yet, have you? It’s okay, I can talk to you about something else first.”

Jiang Beiran spoke up as he sensed the young man’s increasingly erratic breathing.

“Yes, Emperor, feel free to ask. I will tell you everything I know.”

“Tell me first, how did you sneak into the study?”

“Your Majesty, when Deng Bo was still in power, I was the one who passed on the message for the Liang Kingdom, so I was very familiar with the Twenty-Eight Mansions Ghost Sealing Formation in the Imperial Palace, which was why I was able to sneak in.”

” Oh…” Jiang Beiran nodded. Suddenly, he turned to Muyao, who was applying medicine to his shoulder.”How are your injuries?”

Muyao was still in a state of extreme shock. When she heard Jiang Beiran talking to her, she paused for a while before replying,””Little…It’s just a small injury. I’m already much better.”

“Then why aren’t you making a cup of tea for the guest?”

Muyao’s computer crashed for a few seconds after hearing that.” Even the landlord and the rich are more humane than you!’

However, Muyao suddenly felt much better after cursing inwardly. The Emperor…It seemed like he was still the same emperor.

He got up and went to the side to brew two cups of tea. He first served one cup to the Emperor, and then handed the other cup to the youth.

“Thank you.” The young man nodded as he received the teacup.

” Phew…” Jiang Beiran blew on the steam from the tea and took a sip. He looked up at the young man and asked,””I’m not too satisfied with your answer. Answer me again in detail. If you still don’t answer well, I’ll cripple one of your hands.”

Hearing Jiang Beiran’s gentle tone, the young man in the beast fur coat shuddered and almost dropped the teacup in his hand.

Noticing the fur-robed young man’s eyes darting toward the window, Jiang Beiran smiled and said,””Don’t look anymore. The moment you stepped into the royal study, the Shi Gen Formation was activated. Now, the inside is isolated from the outside. No one can enter or leave.”

The young man in the beast skin coat hurriedly said,”Your Majesty, you’ve misunderstood. This one has no such intentions. It’s just that this one likes to look around when thinking about problems.””

“Oh, I see. Think about it, Muyao. Go get some snacks for the guests.”

“Yes.” Muyao nodded and handed some candied fruits and pastries to the fur-robed youth.

Taking the snacks from Muyao, the young man had already given up on the idea of escaping. Before the emperor had even spoken, he had realized that his spiritual sense could not leave the room. Now, he realized that the Shi Gen Formation was obstructing him.

He had once heard from his elders that Gen was one of the eight trigrams, representing the mountain and also having the meaning of hardness.

According to the elder, the mountain was a very special thing. It was pure Yang and contained Yin. Although the surface of the mountain was filled with Yang Qi, the Yin Qi in the mountain was not inferior at all.

Such an extreme Yin and Yang formation could be said to be flawless. No matter what method was used, it was extremely difficult to crack.

‘This person…Who is it?

The young man in the beast fur coat would never believe that the cunning Yin Jianghong would let such a powerful person become the Emperor. Moreover, the Emperor of the Sheng Kingdom had a long history of only letting ordinary people become the Emperor. How could he suddenly break the precept?

Therefore, the young man still believed that he had stepped into Yin Jianghong’s trap and was extremely wary of Jiang Beiran’s strength.

Jiang Beiran sipped his tea leisurely as he watched the young man in the beast fur coat fall into deep thought.

The reason why he was unhappy with the young man’s answer was because he had only told him how he had entered the palace, but not how he had entered the Sheng Country.

The other point was that even if he really understood the 28 Mansions Ghost Sealing Formation, the 28 Mansions Ghost Sealing Formation that he had strengthened was no longer the same. Even if he was a Mythical Spirit, it was impossible for him to walk in without triggering the formation.

Finally, Jiang Beiran did not believe that Yin Jianghong had allowed a Mythical Spirit to barge into his royal study without taking any precautions outside the palace.

As the steam on the teacup gradually disappeared, the young man finally sighed and said,”” Your Majesty, I’m in charge of delivering messages, so I’ve been living in Ningdu for a long time. The reason why I can come here quietly is because…”

As the youth spoke, he took out a black umbrella from the Heaven and Earth Mirror.

“This is a mystic level magic treasure my master gave me, the Illusionary Sky Barrier. As long as I use it, no formation or divine sense can detect me.”

“Oh? Show it to me.”

Seeing the Emperor show his skill, the youth felt his heart ache to the extreme. This was a Black Grade middle grade magic treasure, after it was taken, there was no reason to return it to him.

But now, even his own life was in the hands of others, so what magic treasure was there to talk about?

Gritting his teeth, the young man in the beast fur coat presented the Illusionary Sky Screen to Jiang Beiran with both hands.
