  While Zhang Wuji, Song Yuanqiao, and Yang Xiao discussed the matter, Shaolin Temple, Mount Hua Sect, and Kunlun Sect also sent some of their people back with the news. Blood Robes was among them, and when he saw Happy in the headquarters of Ming Cult, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, but it soon faded away.

  “The six sects have indeed met with an accident.” Yang Xiao had a solemn expression on his face.

  “Ming Cult has just gone through a major change right now, and we have not recovered our strength. Even if we go, we cannot do anything significant. Cult master, I believe that this matter is not as easy as it seems. We must notify the six sects in case the matter at Light Summit repeats itself.”

  “Bright Left Messenger Yang is right!” Song Yuanqiao nodded vigorously. “I will return to Wudang Sect and tell what happened in this place to all the martial artists in the world. But we cannot just ignore the safety of the elites of the six sects.”

  When he said that, he turned toward Happy, Blood Robes, and two other players. “You are people with outstanding talents, and you are also unfamiliar faces. You will not attract the attention of the dogs of the imperial court. I want to give you the task of investigating the whereabouts of the elites from our sects. They will definitely leave some hints behind if so many people have been captured.”

  “Great Swordsman Song is right……” Yang Xiao swept his gaze over the four people. “Do any of you have any opposing opinions?”

  The other three did not say anything, because in the end, Yang Xiao’s gaze landed on Happy, who was the first to arrive at Light Summit.

  Happy had come to investigate the matter since the start, so it was only natural that he would not reject the request.

  “The survival of the elites from the six sects is unknown, and we are also worried. We are willing to be at your service!”

  Yang Xiao’s expression became much gentler.

  “Very good, I will give you three days’ time to search for the whereabouts of the elites from the six sects. At that time, I will send someone to notify you.”

  “Miss Zhou, will you stay?” Song Qingshu suddenly butted into the conversation. “We can let them handle this matter. Come down the mountain with us and return to our sect. You can stay at Wudang Sect for a while while we send someone to notify Emei Sect.”

  “Thank you for your kind will, Great Swordsman Song, but I do not know whether my mistress is still alive, and I feel uneasy.”

  Zhou Zhiruo’s tone was cold, and she did not even look at Song Qingshu. But she did not sneak a look at Zhang Wuji either. Zhang Wuji opened his mouth as if to say something, but he did not do so in the end.

  “Young Swordsman Happy, I will search for my mistress with you.”

  When Zhou Zhiruo said that, Happy only answered her after a long time had passed.

  \r \r \r

  That was because at the same time he received the quest from Yang Xiao, he received another quest. He was surprised when the system notified him that Zhao Min knew about his existence and that she had sent a powerful fighter she had enlisted to wait for him at the foot of the mountain. He was waiting there to ambush, and he had to think about it carefully.

  At that moment, he also received another system notification telling him that Song Qingshu now hated him, and even Zhang Wuji cast him strange looks. After seeing that, Happy could not help but smile in a wan manner.

  Beautiful girls always bring trouble. These words were indeed true!

  He just had some trouble knocking at his doorstep out of the blue.

  Once Song Qingshu became an outstanding person, he might end up being another great deal of trouble!

  ‘Oh well!’

  Happy wrapped his fist in his palm and bowed to bid farewell to the people. Then, he left Light Summit together with Zhou Zhiruo trailing behind him.

  The people from Shaolin Temple and Kunlun Sect followed closely behind him.

  Blood Robes stared in the direction in which Happy and the others disappeared with sparkling eyes. He lingered a little longer in Ming Cult before he left the mountain. Even though he had previously been very high in morale, when he saw Happy easily kill Xiao Shan with one slash, Blood Robes became wary of him and grew to regard him highly in the end.

  If Happy fought against him in Light Summit, he might not have survived!

  It was precisely because of that wariness that Blood Robes had resolutely given up on the quest to search for the elites from the six sects once he got down the mountain. They would run into each other multiple times during the three days of the quest, since they would be traveling on the same path, and logic and reason made him unwilling to take the risk.

  *****

  When Happy left Mount Huangshan, he found tracks left behind by a group of carriages on the government-made road not too far away.

  “The tracks are new and deep. They should be headed in that direction.” Zhou Zhiruo’s reaction was not slow. “We have to chase after them.”

  Happy knew that Zhou Zhiruo was smart, and he was happy to have an easy time, which was why he decided to just let her display her intelligence while he admired the beautiful “scenery” from the side.

  Speaking of which, the beauty mark at the center of Zhou Zhiruo’s forehead was truly like the final critical touch to a painting that brought it to life, though in this case, it transformed Zhou Zhiruo from a startling beauty into a goddess among mortals.

  Zhou Zhiruo was the center of many players’ attention while they traveled.

  If it were not for the fact that Happy stood by her side in his Golden Armor and heroic gait to serve as a shield, she might have been surrounded by countless players a long time ago.

  The golden brand of the top-ranked player on the Famous People Rank was capable of intimidating people.

  Happy looked around before he said, “Miss Zhiruo, we won’t be able to catch up to a fleet of carriages with just the two of us. They’re people from the imperial court, and they’ll change carriages repeatedly once they enter the city. Even if we spend all our energy, we won’t be able to catch up to them.”

  “Once we enter the city, I’ll have to trouble you to get us two horses, Senior Brother Happy.”

  “I can do it now.”

  Happy summoned Hoof Shadow straightaway and jumped on it before he extended his hand to Zhou Zhiruo. “My horse can carry two people just fine.”

  Zhou Zhiruo said nothing, but her face turned red.

  However, when she thought of the predicament her mistress and sisters were in, she did not reject it.

  Hence, a sight that made the jaws of an innumerable number of players to fall slack appeared. Zhou Zhiruo took Happy’s hand and landed on Happy’s horse. She even sat down in front of him.

  “No way, seriously?”

  When they saw Happy holding a beautiful girl in his arms right in front of their eyes with a legitimate reason, countless players could only watch dumbfounded. They stood in place for a long time, seriously wanting to throw their weapons at Happy so that they could knock him off his horse. After all, their envy and jealousy had already reached the tipping point.

  “Giddy up!”

  When the beautiful lady entered his arms, Happy shouted loudly, and his Hoof Shadow ran off at full speed.

  It was not as if Happy had not touched beautiful female NPCs in his previous life, but it was his first time touching a beautiful girl like Zhou Zhiruo. He did not dare to do anything inappropriate with her though. There was a distance between the two of them, and aside from the occasional inevitable touch, most of the time, Happy still retained his gentlemanly behavior.

  The two humans and one horse rushed to the nearest city at the speed of lightning.

  *****

  The matter with Happy stirred up a large storm in the world of martial artists.

  Even though various players had cursed up a storm for the final battle at Light Summit, which the official developers had launched, those curses still could not drown out Happy’s light!

  First, he had defeated a Life and Death Realm NPC in a prideful manner with one shot before the battle of Light Summit and entered the camp of the six great system-allocated sects. He had an extraordinary performance during the battle as well, and he also rushed into the sea of fire at the first moment. At the time the six great system-allocated sects fought against Ming Cult members, he also killed Xiao Shan and sent the heavily injured Zhang Wuji flying with one palm.

  Even though Zhang Wuji had been severely wounded at that time, the sight of both of them being sent flying out of the battlefield which had dust flying all over the place at the same time had still made quite a number of people incredibly envious of him!

  It had to be known that the person he injured was Zhang Wuji!

  He was a person who had no match in the world!

  Yet Happy had managed to not get injured or suffer any loss before Heaven and Earth Great Shift as well as Nine Yang Divine Skill. Because of it, Happy’s strength in the players’ eyes could be described as unfathomable.

  Even though the scandal between Zhou Zhiruo and Happy swiftly spread out, there were still a lot of people who paid attention to the battle at Light Summit, especially the one from Happy’s first person point of view.

  Once Happy had Zhou Zhiruo settled down and logged off, the manager of the pay-to-view battle replay system immediately received his call!
