176 Human Skin Masks (2/2)
He stood a few feet away from the middle-aged man, and the zombie puppets had stopped foolishly by his side. They did not continue to attack together.
”It's you?”
Happy pretended to be surprised.
When he saw that Happy had indeed recognized the person, Little North relaxed. The animosity on his face disappeared, and he retreated to Happy's side.
”Big Brother Happy, you know him?”
”Yeah.”
Happy cast a glance at All-powerful Medicinal Stone's unforgettable face and nodded. He also looked at the incredibly smooth and lively human skin mask All-powerful Medicinal Stone held in his hand.
”You got it from the brocade box?”
When All-powerful Medicinal Stone tore off his human skin mask, his action let Happy become much more at ease. If he had continued to hide his identity, he would need to truly be careful and on guard so that All-powerful Medicinal Stone would not get close to him and steal his items.
”Heh heh…” All-powerful Medicinal Stone cackled. ”Not bad, right? One human skin mask can clone three different faces. What about your brocade box? Don't tell me that you got some useless money. Based on my instincts, your luck could not be so terrible.”
”What now, Mister Thief? Did you come from afar because you have your sights on my items?”
”No way.” All-powerful Medicinal Stone giggled and put away his human skin mask before he walked over. ”No matter what, we got acquainted with each other. Even if I feel like stealing, I wouldn't steal your stuff, you know?”
”Then you came over this time because…”
Happy did not believe that All-powerful Medicinal Stone had come to chat with him to get rid of his boredom. He sized up the middle-aged man's face and went straight for the main topic.
”I heard that you got into an argument with Class One Hall.”
The smile on All-powerful Medicinal Stone's face did not disappear. He spoke with a careless tone. ”In truth, once I separated from you at Mount Song, I also formed bad blood with Class One Hall. Damn them. They chased me for half a day for the stupid box. They surrounded me and blocked my path, and I nearly lost my life for it. So, I thought, why don't we form an alliance and deal with Class One Hall in the future?'
Happy said nothing, but he quirked his eyebrows after he heard it. In his previous life, All-powerful Medicinal Stone seemed to have formed a bad relationship with Class One Hall as well. Could it be because of the box?
When that thought appeared in his head, Happy did not have a great change of expression and spoke calmly. ”The fight for the brocade boxes only lasted for a while. Now that it's over, it's over. I don't see anyone from Class One Hall coming to cause trouble for me. If I go causing trouble for them of my own initiative, it'd be rather bad on my part.”
”That's because the timing isn't ripe.” When he spoke, All-powerful Medicinal Stone's usual calmness vanished. He gritted his teeth and said, ”Besides, you also showed extraordinary strength when the quest ended, just like me. Damn it, not only did they chase me for an entire day, they've also been investigating my actions in secret. Every single time I go out of town, someone will follow. If I didn't rely on the human skin mask, I'd have been killed multiple times already. Don't think that you'll be safe for long.”
All-powerful Medicinal Stone cast a glance at Happy's relaxed and composed look and rolled his eyes.
”I ran into a person while I was in Dengfeng. At that time, I heard something about you. Should I relay it to you?”
His mysterious expression stirred up Happy's curiosity. ”What?”
”They said that they should set you up, but someone mentioned that their hall master said to temporarily leave you alone. Apparently, you're from the University of South China, and they coincidentally have someone from the higher management who is also in the University of South China. They're prepared to investigate you in reality.”
After saying all that, All-powerful Medicinal Stone's mocking look froze, and he stopped speaking.
Little North had also noticed the temperature drop at that moment. He turned around to look and felt his eyelids twitch. He was shocked by Happy's face, which had suddenly darkened!
”What was bound to come has finally come.”
