After saluting, Shen Tianhua raised his head and looked at the man in black behind the master.

When Shen Tianhua looked at Xiao Qi's doubts, Jiang Beiran said directly: "From today on, he will help you find all the remaining pages of the ancient books, and he will also keep you safe."

When Shen Tianhua heard this, he immediately raised his hands and saluted: "Thank you, Master!"

Shen Tianhua was actually depressed for a long time. He knew that there was a newly opened tomb to explore, but he was still trapped in Shi Mansion and couldn't move. This made him extremely depressed.

Now that he heard that the master had finally found a guard for him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Qi, who was standing next to Jiang Beiran, was confused.

He originally thought that he was going to explore the mysterious place with Brother Wang, but now it seems that is not the case.

'But since this ancient book can arouse Brother Wang's interest, it must not be ordinary.'

When Shen Tianhua stood up again, Jiang Beiran suddenly put down the tea cup in his hand and asked: "How are you thinking about the other question? Don't pretend to be stupid. You should know what I am asking you."

Of course Shen Tianhua understood what Master Jiang meant.

It's nothing more than whether to truly join his camp, or become his subordinate.

But Shen Tianhua is used to living alone after all, and so far, he only knows that Master Jiang is very mysterious and powerful, but how powerful he is is still unknown.

And Shen Tianhua, who has already suffered a lot in this matter, has no intention of recognizing a mysterious figure whom he barely understands as his elder brother so quickly.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Tianhua raised his hands and responded: "Master, please give me some time to think twice."

"Okay, you can wait until this matter is completely over before you give me an answer. Now you can go to the lobby on the first floor and wait for me."

Shen Tianhua was stunned for a moment. He thought that the next step was to get to know the man in black, but unexpectedly he was kicked out immediately.

But Shen Tianhua had no intention of saying "no". After agreeing, he opened the door and went downstairs.

After Shen Tianhua left, Jiang Beiran looked at Xiao Qi and said, "Sit down, I'll tell you about this mission."

"yes."

After Xiao Qi sat down, Jiang Beiran told him the ancient book incident from beginning to end.

"Brother Wang wants me to accompany Master Shen to snatch the fragments of ancient books from other people's hands?"

"That's right."

"I...I will try my best to complete it."

Although Xiao Qi always wanted to show his best side to Brother Wang, he did not intend to say anything beyond his ability.

Judging from Brother Wang's description just now, it seems that the owners of several other ancient book fragments all have considerable backgrounds.

Although he, a cultivator at the peak of King Xuan, has a strong voice among the younger generation, if he faces Emperor Xuan or even Xuan Zong, it is a big problem whether he can escape unscathed, let alone save Shen.

Master.

Hearing Xiao Qi's cautious answer, Jiang Beiran knew that this task was difficult for him.

And this is Jiang Beiran's purpose.

Among the many younger brothers in Jiang Beiran, the most special one is actually Xiao Qi.

Because he is the only younger brother with the fate of the protagonist.

Jiang Beiran, the two protagonists he met before, did not treat them as his younger brothers, because the system would skip the option every time he had this idea.

This made Jiang Beiran not dare to let them do things for him, but let them go free.

Otherwise, it would be unworthy of causing all the fuss.

But Xiao Qi is different. From the first time he met Xiao Qi, to all subsequent contacts, the system did not pop up any options, not even when Xiao Qi expressed his surrender.

This means that even if he accepts Xiao Qi, the protagonist's younger brother, he will not cause any trouble.

With such a younger brother, Jiang Beiran's mind naturally became more alive.

My protagonist-level brother, if you don’t make good use of this, wouldn’t it be a waste of resources?

So when Jiang Beiran officially assigned him a task for the first time, he directly assigned someone who was far beyond his own abilities.

In this way, we can test out the potential of this protagonist-level brother to the greatest extent.

The second is to see if he can unleash his amazing potential when faced with events or goals beyond his abilities.

Of course, Jiang Beiran would not try it without any safeguard measures.

Now Xiaoqi is from the Lin family and has a good relationship with the two eldest ladies. In fact, he can be regarded as a person with a background, and others dare not touch him easily.

In addition, Jiang Beiran is not a hands-off shopkeeper. Whenever Xiao Qi has a problem, he will help immediately.

While Xiao Qizai was carefully reading the information given to him by Brother Wang, Jiang Beiran suddenly asked: "Xiao Qizai, how do you think you can defeat opponents who are stronger than yourself?"

"Be clever." Xiao Qi replied without hesitation.

"Yes, I have always believed that wisdom is far more important than cultivation. It is the guarantee that can keep you invincible. So in this task, what do you think is the most important?"

Xiao Qi thought for a moment and replied: "Protect Master Shen's safety."

"Is that all?"

After hearing this, Xiao Qi thought again and replied: "Deal with those formation masters before they seek the protection of their own sect."

"This is your tactics, but before tactics, you must also have your core strategy."

"Core...strategy?" Xiao Qi blinked twice, raised his hands towards Jiang Beiran and said, "Brother Wang, please give me some advice."

"Get what you want while avoiding conflict as much as possible."
