693 Attack, Clash (2/2)

”Are the people from the Murong Clan also interested in Eunuch Yang's Warehouse, or have you already become the Li Family's lapdogs? You helped Shi Feixuan earlier, and now you're helping Li Shimin. Do you really intend to go up against me and be enemies with the holy order?”

”Since ancient times, those of the righteous path and evil path have never mixed well. I do not have any intention to help either side, but when I see injustice, I will definitely help the oppressed. This is simply a duty that the people of my generation have and that I cannot cast aside.”

Happy spoke in a neither arrogant nor humble tone.

”Haha! Help those being oppressed when you see them? Well said! Brother Happy, you are indeed a straightforward person.”

Li Shimin's affection toward Happy increased by leaps and bounds.

There was also a smile on Xu Zhiling's face.

Happy's words did not show any flattery nor bias toward Li Shimin, and he did not reveal any ambitious desires either. It was in accordance to how he usually conducted himself.

”I, Zhiling, toast to you.”

”So, the one who helped Miss Shi during the day was you? Brother Happy, I will also toast to you.” Li Shimin's eyes lit up.

'I didn't come here to drink.'

Naturally, Happy would not say such words. Besides, he was currently facing Xu Zhiling and Li Shimin. He did not dare to be inattentive toward them, so he picked up his wine cup and drank everything in one go.

But Happy soon sensed a cold gaze on his face.

”Young Master Happy.” An elegant fragrance drifted into his nostrils, and Shi Feixuan came over to the trio in a snow-white robe.

At that moment, it seemed like Happy's table had become the center of attention of the entire pleasure boat. Everyone's eyes were trained on their side.

Each faction of power paid attention to them.

”Miss Shi, it's you.”

”I have been incredibly thankful for you saving us from the encirclement during the day in Yangzhou City. Allow me to use this cup of tea as wine and toast to you.”

”Miss Shi, you praise me too much. My generation is full of chivalrous people, and when we see evil cultists harming those who share the same path as us, we help them. I was just there at the right time.”

When Happy said those words, he noticed that Xu Zhiling's gaze on him had become a little abnormal.

”Brother Happy, I will toast to you again.” There was gratitude and determination under his bashful expression.

”I really don't deserve this.” Happy threw his head back and finished his wine in one gulp.

He drank a few cups of strong wine in succession, and his insides began burning up, but Nine Yang Divine Skill soon got rid of quite a lot of the drunkenness in him and expelled it from his body, which was why Happy could remain energetic.

”How is Master Qing Yuan, and how is Brother Xibai?”

”Master Qing Yuan was wounded heavily and has already passed away. Xibai's injuries were lighter, and Young Master Li's subordinate is taking care of him. He is already fine.”

Shi Feixuan's expression was slightly bleak.

Happy heaved a long sigh. ”If I had acted sooner, perhaps I could have saved Master Qing Yuan…”

”Young Master Happy, you do not need to blame yourself. Master Qing Yuan mentioned before he died that he wanted me to thank you. He is already resting in peace. It's just a pity…” She stopped talking for a moment and quickly cast a glance at Xu Zhiling. There was regret in her voice. ”It's a pity that I didn't manage to protect the key in the end.”

”Immortal Shi, I am to blame for being careless.” Li Shimin's face was full of anguish. ”I believed in others too readily, which was why I was set up and lost the key.”

When Happy heard that, he frowned slightly in shock. 'I didn't expect that she would lose the key in the end and it will not go to Li Shimin. Judging by Shi Feixuan's expression, could it be that the key is really in Kuo Zhong's hands?'

While thinking about it, Happy suddenly remembered the face of the unfamiliar player who had never said anything standing behind Xu Zhiling.

'Something's wrong!' he thought and scowled.
