Chapter 249: What Is Harem of Three Thousand Beauties 2

“I must help my sister defeat Wu Qing Gang! I must help my sister and Brother Jiang create an opportunity!’

While Yu Guizhui was teasing her sister, their words made Yu Manwen’s mind flash with white light.

“That’s right! Wu Qingce is what I imagined Jiang Beiran to be like!”

From the moment she came into contact with Jiang Beiran, Yu Manwen had always felt that she could not see through him at all. However, she knew that he did not only want to be a named disciple.

After that, they had more frequent contact. Yu Manwen even discovered that apart from cultivating, Jiang Beiran was able to express his unique views on everything else. He would even reveal his ability to surprise her from time to time. He was just like a treasure cave. Just when you thought that you had dug all the way to the bottom, new treasures would appear.

This made Yu Manwen feel that Jiang Beiran should not only have no talent in cultivation.

Now that she heard the Yu sisters’ words, she immediately understood why she always associated Jiang Beiran with Wu Qingce.

It was because everything that Wu Qingce displayed was exactly what Yu Manwen imagined Jiang Beiran to be like. He completely crushed his peers and displayed his unique and peerless talent, stunning everyone.

“So, I’ve always thought of Wu Qingce as Jiang Beiran’s spokesperson. That’s why I’ve always paid attention to him.’

After understanding this point, Yu Manwen looked at Liu Zijin, who was wiping her sweat, and asked, “Zijin, I’ve never asked, but now I’m a little curious. Why are you guys so determined to defeat Wu Qing Gang all of a sudden?”

After hearing this, Liu Zijin was stunned. After thinking for a long time, she moved closer to Yu Manwen’s ear and whispered, “It’s… Brother Jiang said that as long as we become the most outstanding disciples of Sect of Returning Hearts, we’ll… we’ll…”

When she heard this, Yu Manwen instantly understood everything.

“This Beiran is too ruthless.” Yu Manwen thought.

She took out a handkerchief and wiped Liu Zijin’s forehead. Yu Manwen smiled and said, “Okay. I understand now.”

“Hehe…” Liu Zijin lowered her head and smiled shyly.

When she saw Liu Zijin’s cute appearance, Yu Manwen could not help but poke her forehead with her finger. Then, she said to the others, “Alright, you guys go eat first. I’ll teach you guys how to catch Wu Qing Gang’s weakness in the afternoon.”

Yu Manwen didn’t lower her voice at all when she spoke, which made Wu Qingce tremble while cleaning his sword. He turned around and found that Law Protector Yu was sizing him up with an interested look.

“What’s going on? Again?”

He could feel that Law Protector Yu’s gaze was similar to Liu Zijin and the others’. Although Liu Zijin and the others seemed to have set him as their target, they actually wanted to achieve another goal by defeating him.

It was the same for Law Protector Yu.

‘I’ll ask Brother Jiang next time. But Brother Jiang, when are you coming back…?’

After wiping off their sweat, Liu Zijin and the others bade farewell to their master and went to the canteen together. They ordered a table of dishes that they liked and the five of them sat down to eat happily.

Although they still did not win against Wu Qing Gang today, they felt that they had already seen an opportunity.

Just as they planned to grab the time to finish their meal and immediately go to their master to practice, the conversation between the two disciples at the back table caught their attention.

“Hey, did you hear something interesting?”

“What?”

“The emperor of Sheng Kingdom has stepped down.”

“Oh, so be it. What does it have to do with us?”

“Guess who the new emperor is.”

“Who cares who he is? He can’t control me anyway.”

“Guess. I guarantee you won’t guess who it is.”

“Of course, you don’t give me any hints.”

“Okay, then I’ll give you a hint. This person is a righteous sect disciple.”

“Ah!?”

“Hehe, are you surprised?”

“What’s going on? I remember that cultivators can’t be emperors, right? Isn’t the emperor supposed to control the common people? Why did they let a cultivator become the emperor? Could it be that the emperor can control us cultivators in the future?”

“What are you thinking? How could the emperor control us cultivators? Let me give you another hint. This emperor is also from our sect.”

“Pffft! Are you serious?”

“Yes. Guess who it is.”

“Hiss… Don’t keep me in suspense. Just tell me.”

“Boring. Alright, then I’ll announce the answer. The emperor’s name is Jiang Beiran, a disciple of the Order of Blue Heart. Previously…”

“Pfft! Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough!”

Just as the disciple revealed the emperor was Jiang Beiran, Fang Qiuyao choked on the noodles she had eaten and started coughing non-stop.

The surrounding senior brothers quickly went forward to greet her and handed her a handkerchief.

After rejecting them one by one, Fang Qiuyao took out her handkerchief to wipe her mouth. Then, she quickly looked at Sister Zijin and found that her expression was equally surprised.

“I… I didn’t hear it wrong, right?” Fang Qiuyao asked in a low voice.

Liu Zijin didn’t answer first. Instead, she looked at the three Yu sisters and found that their eyes were also wide open.

“Since we didn’t hear wrongly… then it should be.”

The disciple who was talking about Jiang Beiran becoming the emperor returned to his seat after being rejected by Fang Qiuyao. He gnawed on the steamed bun in disappointment.

“Keep talking!”

Liu Zijin and the other three shouted in their hearts at the same time.

However, that person naturally could not hear the thoughts of Liu Zijin and the others. He continued to gnaw on the steamed bun.

At this moment, the male disciple who had heard half of it could not help but ask, “Continue. Why did Jiang Beiran become the emperor?”

“Good question!”

Liu Zijin and the others praised him in their hearts at the same time.

At this moment, the disciple who was eating the bun came back to his senses and said, “I’m not sure how he became the emperor. I just remember that Sect Master praised him at the previous celebration. It seems that he won the first place in the Go match.”

“What’s his cultivation level?”

“I’m not sure, but he shouldn’t be very strong. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have never heard of him.”

“Because he didn’t have any talent in cultivation, he was sent to become the emperor?”

“It’s possible.”

“Hey, then how did you know about this?”

“Oh, didn’t I go down the mountain for a trial two days ago? When I passed by a village, I heard an old man say that there was a new emperor in Sheng Kingdom. He was a good emperor. As soon as he ascended the throne, he wanted to send almanacs to the common people.”

“Giving out almanacs would make him a good emperor?”

“You don’t know? The emperor hasn’t given out almanac to the common people for decades.”

“How would I know? My family has it every year anyway.”

“I was curious and asked about the name of the new emperor. The old man said his name was Jiang Beiran. It was the village chief who went door to door to inform the people. When I heard the name Jiang Beiran, I thought it sounded familiar. When I came back to ask around, I found out that he really was from our sect.”

“There’s such a strange thing. When did Jiang Beiran go? I don’t think I’ve heard Sect Master mention it before.”

“Jiang Beiran become the emperor was not something important like Wu Qing Gang broke through to become a superior mystic practitioner at the age of 20. How is it worth Sect Master mentioning it specifically?”

“That’s true. If a sect disciple becomes an emperor, doesn’t that mean that Sect Master thinks that he doesn’t have any talent for cultivation? Actually, it’s quite miserable.”

“It’s not that bad. Although he can’t cultivate, he could have harem of 3,000 beauties. Wouldn’t that be great?”

“Hahaha, that’s true. But he’s still an ordinary person after all. Boring, boring.”

“Qiuyao… Qiuyao…”

“Ah? What’s wrong?” Fang Qiuyao, who was in a daze, turned to look at Sister Zijin.

Liu Zijin whispered into her ear, “Your chopsticks are about to break.”

Fang Qiuyao blushed and relaxed her grip.

Hearing the two male disciples talking about other topics, the five of them left the canteen in a hurry. They looked very serious on the way.

“I remember Brother Jiang was still in the sect during the winter solstice. Why… why did he suddenly become the emperor?” Yu Guizhui said first.

“What did they say about the three thousand beauties just now?” Yu Guimiao asked curiously.

Liu Zijin frowned even more when she heard that. Even her breathing became a lot faster.

Fang Qiuyao pretended to be calm when she saw the situation. “We can’t be sure whether it’s true or not. Let’s go ask Master first.”

“Okay!”

The five of them nodded in unison.
