Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“The Mongolian army’s supply route has already been attacked once, and the Mongolians will definitely set up heavy defenses for their supplies right now. You might face a lot of dangers during this trip…” Shi Feixuan voiced out Happy’s predicament with those words. “Even though with your abilities, it won’t be difficult for you to burn the supplies during the chaos in the army, the Mongolian army will definitely send evil cult elites to provide reinforcements.”
“You’re right.” Happy smiled bitterly and nodded. “Right now, I’m the most worried about running into evil cult elites during the fight. At that moment, forget about burning the supplies, I might even have a problem in getting out of it unscathed.”
“It’s a pity that I am currently injured badly, and I might not be able to help you for the time being, or else, I will definitely be willing to follow you along.”
Once she said this, Shi Feixuan’s tone changed. “But I know someone who can help you.”
“Who is it?” Happy’s eyes lit up. He had been waiting for Shi Feixuan to say those words.
He knew that Shi Feixuan will be grateful for him saving her life and for fulfilling his duty to his country and his people. Since she summoned him here, she will definitely not stand by and watch him die.
“Zhiling.”
“The sect master of Twin Dragons Sect, Xu Zhiling?” Happy put on a dumbfounded expression.
He originally thought that Shi Feixuan will suggest or put up a request to the Prince of Qin to send some people to help him. After all, he can be considered to have worked for the Prince of Qin for this quest. If Qin Qiong and the woman with the red horsetail whisk followed him to the enemy camp, the quest was basically half complete.
But what he did not expect was that the person Shi Feixuan chose was not someone under the Prince of Qin, but an amazing man who had a delicate relationship with Shi Feixuan—Xu Zhiling.
Not knowing whether to laugh or smile, Happy answered, “Brother Zhiling might have an old relationship, but this mission is highly dangerous, and I am embarrassed to ask him to help me and come with me for the trip. Could it be that you actually have a way to make Zhiling take action?”
“It’s not me. It’s you.” Shi Feixuan winked her pretty and clear eyes at Happy. “The twin dragons took about Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse, and isn’t that because you helped Zhiling?”
When she said that, she stopped for a moment, and she chuckled when she saw that Happy’s cheeks had gradually turned red and he started looking awkward. “During that battle, if you didn’t pretend to be Zhiling and personally guarded the pleasure boat to make most of the elites from the righteous and evil paths stay put in their places, Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling will not be able to easily get all the treasures from Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse as well as build an army that can stand as equals as Heaven’s Scheme Mansion.”
“You know what’s going on?”
Happy felt incredibly embarrassed, and he began laughing bashfully. “How did you manage to tell?”
“When I left the pleasure boat, I found the situation a little strange. Later on, I went to search for Zhiling and asked him, and I understood everything.” Shi Feixuan’s eyes shone with amusement.
Happy smiled wryly this time.
‘That’s true. Xu Zhiling is an honest person. He acts in a righteous manner, and he will definitely not lie in front of Shi Feixuan. Once the matter with Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse happened, there’s no way he can hide it.’
Fortunately, Shi Feixuan did not intend to blame him, and she continued explaining at her own pace. “You helped the young marshal so much, so not only does Xu Zhiling owe you a debt of gratitude, even if Kuo Zhong is the one who learns that you’re in great difficulty, he might personally come to your aid.”
When he heard this, Happy felt as if he saw light in darkness, and he was enlightened.
That was right. Right now, both Shi Feixuan and Wan Wan had entered Myth Realm, and there was no need to even mention that Kuo Zhong must have mastered the Eight Skills from the Well, and he must have reached Myth Realm. Xu Zhiling had Undying Seals and True Nine Words Seals. He might have also perfected them. When it came to martial arts, he was even stronger by a small margin than Kuo Zhong.
What was even more precious was that once the twin dragons worked together, their strength will increase by leaps and bounds. They were people to whom peerless martial artists like the Evil King, Empress Yin, and Martial Paragon cannot kill when they fought together, and their strength can compare to those at the peak of Myth Realm. If it was truly as Shi Feixun said and he can get the twin dragons’ help, then he will have a seventy percent chance in completing the quest to burn the supplies at the Mongolian army’s side!

They talked for a little while longer, and Happy’s confidence grew. He did as Shi Feixuan told him to do and left the tent excitedly and found Xu Zhiling and Kuo Zhong’s tents, which were located not too far away.
