Chapter 1138 - A Machine Helping People Walk Down the Dao of Heaven (1/2)

“I could care less about the conflicts between sects. You did indeed force Evil King to retreat from Song House. As for Sword Sect’s master, I believe that it’s an unfortunate caused by Heaven Crystal. Did you come to me to ask me to help you search for the person who stole Heaven Crystal?”

As expected of the best divine constable in the world of martial arts. Right after he met Happy, he knew the reason behind why Happy came to him. He looked around and went straight to hold the pot of wine in his arms. He turned around. “Don’t ask me about the whereabouts of Heaven Crystal. I don’t know it clearly. Even if I do, I won’t tell you. Heaven Crystal once dominated the world of martial arts. Right now, it is violent and ruthless. If it appears in the world of martial artists, it will only bring about bloodshed. Sect Master Happy, please don’t make things hard for me. Regardless of who it is, I won’t tell them Heaven Crystal’s whereabouts.”

Lu Xiaofeng did not even give Happy the chance to speak. He refused to help him search for Heaven Crystal right off the bat.

When Lu Xiaofeng walked into the mansion, Happy spoke up, and his words caused Lu Xiaofeng to freeze in his movements to close the door. “I didn’t come to you for Heaven Crystal.”

“Hmm?”

Lu Xiaofeng turned around once more in surprise. “Did you come to me for some other matter?”

Happy did not answer his question. He slowly brought a letter from his Universe Bag, opened it, and threw it into the mansion.

Slap!

Lu Xiaofeng raised his hand with a relaxed expression and used two fingers to catch the letter. He frowned slightly. With curiosity on his face, he looked at Happy, then at the letter in his hand.

“Perception Finger does indeed live up to its name.” In great boredom, Happy praised Lu Xiaofeng. In return, Lu Xiaofeng rolled his eyes at him in resignation.

“The faction master of Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction…” He opened the letter, and the frown on Lu Xiaofeng’s face slowly bled away.

“I see. So you came because something important has been stolen from Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction. The art of disguise and lightness skill? These are all important clues after a crime has been committed. There are only a handful who can do this in the world of wanderers.”

“I need to learn who it is immediately.”

Happy said in simple words, “If you need me to do anything while you’re investigating this, please tell me.”

“There are only a few in the world of wanderers who can do this. I already have an idea as to who it is. But I will need to go to the yamen[1] before I can be certain just who has disappeared for a period of time recently.” When he said this, he paused. Lu Xiaofeng then said in a troubled manner, “But I’ve already promised Brother Ximen that I would spar with him. Could you come over here tomorrow.” While he spoke, he continuously sent signals to Happy through his gaze.

Happy was absolutely confused. He had no idea just what he was doing.

At that moment, Ximen Chuixue spoke on the wall, “Hey, if you continue squeezing those four eyebrows of yours, they’re going to fall off your face. If you don’t want to spar with me, fine. Have that friend of yours fight against me. If he can win against me, we can’t skip our duel.”

“Sure!”

Lu Xiaofeng’s eyes lit up. He did not give Happy the chance to refuse and agreed to Ximen Chuixue’s deal. Then, he turned his head around and gave Happy a look.

“You heard him. That’s all I can help with. Either you fight against Ximen Chuixue for me, or come here when I’m free tomorrow.”

“…”

A normal player would most likely suffer a mental breakdown for this quest.

The idea of fighting against the Sword God was absolute madness!

But Happy had already run into all sorts of opponents.

“Alright!”

The more powerful his opponent was, the more Happy would get sparring against them.

Ximen Chuixue was also an elite at the peak of Myth Realm, but his skills with the sword was not something a normal person could compare to. Happy wanted to fight against him as well. He wanted to see whether Ximen Chuixue’s sword was peerless, or whether his array of ultimate skills was more outstanding.

“Sparring while drinking wine? Not bad.”

When he saw that the two elites had burning looks appear in their eyes, signalling how fiercely their fighting spirit raged right then, Lu Xiaofeng smiled in delight. “Anyone who fights in Beijing will incur the wrath of the imperial court, and I will have a hard time explaining things by then. I’ll search for a place for you. Brother Ximen, please don’t destroy this pot of wine.”

“Once he finished speaking, with one whoosh, Lu Xiaofeng held a pot of wine in his arms and disappeared from the spot. He was so fast that all who saw him gasped in amazement.

Ximen Chuixue watched from the wall. He looked at the pot of wine in his hands, then at Happy. Then, in resignation, he shook his head. He tapped against the wall, and immediately, he vanished from the wall.

Lu Xiaofeng’s lightness skill might be extraordinary, but Ximen Chuixue was also an elite who shocked the world with his lightness skill and sword skill. There was no way he would not be able to catch up to Lu Xiaofeng.

As for Happy, he said nothing. At the same time Ximen Chuixue vanished, his spiritual senses were locked at the spot where Ximen Chuixue next landed, and he activated Wave-like Subtle Steps.

Whoosh!

When the players around Beijing heard about this and rushed over to look, the trio were already one without a trace.

*****

News about Happy’s upcoming duel against Ximen Chuixue soon spread through Beijing. Even Wandering Know-it-all heard the news, and he put down all his work to quickly make a reading of their location.

Happy had forced Evil King to retreat and killed the master of a sect. This news had only just started spreading out. And now, all the people in the world of martial artists were making guesses. They wanted to know just how strong Happy was. Was he at the later stage of Myth Realm, or was he at the peak of Myth Realm?

This was their best chance to verify their guess.

Ximen Chuixue was a true elite at the peak of Myth Realm…
