I Just Won't Play By The Book

352 Icy Silver Ring (2)

Turning around, Gu Qinghuan looked at Luo Wenzhou and asked,”Junior Brother Luo, what have you found out these past few days?”

Hearing Gu Qinghuan’s question, Luo Wenzhou came back to his senses and replied,”I found out that this canyon was originally the territory of the Scarlet Cloud Cult, but the Scarlet Cloud Cult has already been exterminated as a traitor. There are no new sects or devil cult forces stationed here, so it can be considered a land without an owner for the time being.”

“That’s good news.” Gu Qinghuan nodded.

As the saying went, a strong dragon could not suppress a local snake. Moreover, the four of them were not strong dragons, so if they wanted to find treasures in other people’s territory, they definitely had to make arrangements in all aspects.

Otherwise, if the strange phenomenon that Shixiong mentioned at the beginning of the month was very eye-catching, it would inevitably attract the owner of this place.

Now that this canyon was temporarily ownerless, this trouble was naturally avoided.

“The largest force near the canyon should be the Huo Family Residence in the north. The family head is called Huo Hezheng, a seventh-level great mystic cultivator. Their family’s backing was the Scarlet Cloud Cult. When the Scarlet Cloud Cult left, they did not follow them. Instead, they turned around and joined the Flying Fox Sect.”

“Oh, the Flying Fox Sect is about 50 miles away from here and is the sect closest to the Dengjin Grand Canyon. After this Righteous Dao and Devil Convention ends, there is a high chance that the Dengjin Grand Canyon will be included in their sphere of influence.”

“Yes.” Gu Qinghuan nodded. She wanted to find a way to arrange for a few informants in the Huo family manor. If they also discovered the anomaly, it would be better for them to prepare early and try not to cause trouble for their senior brother.”

“Senior Brother Gu, don’t worry. I’ve already arranged for the informants to spread the news on time.”

“Alright, then let’s arrange the next detailed plan…”

..

In the Imperial Palace of Ningdu, Jiang Beiran was sitting in his study, reviewing the memorial Muyao had just approved.

“Yes, you handled it well.” Jiang Beiran put down the memorial in his hand and praised.

Muyao couldn’t help but feel excited at the praise, but she kept her head up and said,””Emperor, are you planning to let me approve all the memorials in the future?”

Jiang Beiran looked up at him.” What’s wrong? Are you not happy?””

“Uh…” Muyao was stumped. She believed that if she showed any signs of being a nuisance, the emperor would immediately replace her.

“It’s not a matter of whether I’m willing or not. I just want to say…”

“If you’re not willing, you don’t have to come and change it tomorrow. I’ll…”

“Don’t, don’t, don’t! I’m willing! I’m willing!” Muyao waved her hand.

From the fact that she had given up on cultivation and accompanied Jiang Beiran to read books for two months, it could be seen that she was really passionate about the affairs of the imperial court. Or rather, she really wanted to help the millions of people out of their misery.

Therefore, whenever she saw that the granary of a certain county was full and that a certain village had survived the famine, she would be happy from the bottom of her heart. She was also very happy, as if she had also contributed.

“Oh, as long as you’re willing. Is there anything else?”

Muyao wanted to say that Jiang Beiran had been visiting the palace less often recently, but she couldn’t bring herself to say anything. There’s nothing else.”

After all, even if the Emperor was not around, the court was still in order. It could be said that every official was scrupulously fulfilling their duties and working together. There was not a single matter that caused trouble in the court and forced the Emperor to make a decision.

Muyao couldn’t help but steal a glance at the emperor, who was writing beautifully as usual. She couldn’t understand how he had managed to pick out such loyal ministers from so many of his officials in just a few months. It was unbelievable.

However, to Muyao, this was only one of Jiang Beiran’s many mysteries, and it was a relatively unremarkable one.

“Why are you looking at me? Are you busy?” Jiang Beiran asked Muyao.

Muyao blushed when she was caught peeking and stammered,””I… I have a request to ask the emperor.”

“What is it?”

“Emperor, can you teach me how to write? I’ve gained a lot of knowledge in recent days, and I want to make notes for some books.”

“No.” Jiang Beiran replied without even lifting his head.

As if she had expected a direct rejection, Muyao didn’t get angry. Instead, she took out a very special silver mirror from her Cosmos Ring and showed it to Jiang Beiran.

The mirror was hexagonal, and the surface of the mirror was covered in flame patterns. There were flames burning on all six corners of the mirror, but the edges of the mirror gave Jiang Beiran a cold feeling. It was truly magical.

Jiang Beiran, who sensed the extraordinariness of the silver mirror, asked,”” What is this?”

“The Icy Silver Bracelet is a very powerful Yellow Grade High-Rank magic treasure. It’s made from ice crystals that Master Hong Yun took out from a huge rock.”
