Chapter 1225 - Legacy of Zither Sect (1/2)

“You personally gave this plate to me that day, but this item is very precious, and it is of significant value to your sect. I am not worthy of having it. This time, I brought my friend over in hopes that you would fulfill my request and take your gift back.”

When the sect master saw Happy going straight to the point and pushing forward the token of the grandmaster, his expression instantly turned serious. He sucked in a deep breath and cast a profound glance at Happy. Then, he cast a glance at Wind Chimes, who was beside Happy. He put on a troubled look.

“I understand what you’re trying to say, Young Swordsman Happy.”

“I hope that you can fulfill my request.”

“I do owe you a debt. Logically speaking, I can only do my best to fulfill your requests, and I should do what you asked of me…” The sect master’s words caused Happy and Wind Chimes to feel slightly relaxed. The unease they had because of the frown on the sect master’s face disappeared a little.

Happy originally did not want to bring out the plate so easily, but when he saw how easily the sect master had neutralized Wind Chimes’ offence, his determination that he must help Wind Chimes obtain the sect master’s peerless ultimate technique became stronger. That was why he brought out his trump card without hesitation.

“Sect Master, is there anything you’re wary about? Do you need to test my friend’s temperament?”

“Young Swordsman Happy, don’t misunderstand.”

The sect master waved his hand. “With your strength and temperament, I believe that your friend will be strong and have a great temperament as well. I am just worried that if my legacy goes to this girl, her master will definitely not be happy…”

‘I knew it!’

Happy and Wind Chimes had similar expressions appear on their faces.

The sect master looked as if he did not notice it. He continued saying, “He would definitely be quite famous if he managed to produce such an outstanding disciple, and he would be pretty strong as well. Perhaps this zither player came from my sect as well. That’s why I really can’t make the decision in this and ask you to have another person from Zither Sect become your master.”

The sect master slowly said the final sentence in a solemn tone. He said with a slightly apologetic expression.

Happy and Wind Chimes smiled bitterly at each other.

The sect master had already expressed his rejection very clearly.

Just when both of them thought that this was the end for this and had disappointment appear on them, the sect master had a cunning look flash in his eyes. He changed the topic of the conversation.

“I cannot give you my legacy, but regardless of whether your master is related to Zither Sect, since you have such outstanding achievements and comprehension in the path of the zither, I’m anxious to display muy skills. I have no qualms in explaining some of my techniques to you in the path of zither. I believe that even if your master knows about it, he will not reject it. I wonder if you’re willing to stay a few days in the grass lodge.”

“Of course!”

Wind Chimes instantly felt as if she rose from hell to heaven. She was so excited that she even forgot that she was talking to someone in the dao of heaven. She rose from the cushion, and her eyes were filled with happiness.

‘This damn old man, and here I was sad just a moment ago!’

But naturally, Happy did not dare to say these words out loud to the sect master, he could only criticize him in his heart, but he put on a happy smile and congratulated Wind Chimes.

“Thank you, Sect Master!

“Since the sect master is willing to give you a chance, you must work heart. Train well, and don’t let our hard work go to waste.”

Wind Chimes was so excited that her face turned red. She nearly started worshipping Happy like she would her master.

“If that’s the case, I won’t be staying here and trespassing on you. I’ll be leaving now.”

Happy stood up and was prepared to leave.

“One moment.”

At that moment, the sect master suddenly spoke, “This young lady is fated to learn from Zither Sect, and it’s only right for her to inherit my skills. As for the token of the grandmaster, please keep it. If there comes a time while I am still alive, I hope that I will have the chance to return my debt to you.”

Happy was slightly stunned.

As he held the token given to him by the sect master, he looked surprised.

He did not end up returning the token!

To Happy, this was naturally good news. This meant that he still had a trump card up his sleeves, and he could still obtain benefits from Zither Sect.

He thought about it, and Happy’s thoughts instantly started racing.

He cast a glance at the token in his hands, turned his head around slightly, and cast a glance at Xu Yao, who was still immersed in the excitement of having her qi increase by leaps and bounds.

Happy sucked in a deep breath, and his tone was strange. He spoke with a nervous and stiff voice, “Sect Master, will my friend have the chance of learning from Zither Sect?”

The sect master was stunned. Then, an item was placed in his hands.

When he lowered his head to look at it, he found that Happy had placed the token back into his hands once more. This time, the light in his eyes burned even brighter and hotter.

The sect master’s gaze focused.

In truth, when she stood with Wind Chimes, who possessed Nine Yin Blocked Pulses, Xu Yao was incredibly insignificant before the sect master’s eyes.

But once Happy mentioned it, the sect master immediately became serious.

This girl might have a normal constitution, but when compared to Wind Chimes, who had Nine Yin Blocked Pulses, Happy seemed to pay more attention to the normal girl.
