  Somehow, news of Happy leading the elites of the six great system-allocated sects to forcefully break into Eternal Peace Temple to save the leaders of the six sects had spread. Countless players talked about it online, and their discussions centered around the change in the plot, Mistress Annihilation’s death, the completion rate for Happy’s quest, and his rewards.

  [Saving the leaders of the six sects is a major thing……]

  [I didn’t expect that someone would be able to change the plot and save the elites from the six sects before Zhang Wuji. I thought that they can only take action after Zhang Wuji appears.]

  ***

  [Tsk tsk, who said he wouldn’t complete the quest?! But seriously, there were six Inaction Realm fighters guarding Eternal Peace Temple, and they were Xuanming Elders, Zhao Min’s three servants, and Ku Toutuo, along with Divine Arrow Eight Heroes. I wonder how he did it.]

  [I heard that the official developers wanted the battle replay for Eternal Peace Temple’s quest from Happy, but he didn’t agree to it.]

  [Where did you get that news from?]

  [I have a friend who does maintenance for the official website.]

  ***

  [Something’s wrong. Mistress Annihilation is dead, and she’s the one who gives the quest. Can it be that Happy actually failed the quest? Why else did he not appear in the past few days? No one could tell via divination that he obtained a new martial art either.]

  [Mistress Annihilation had to die. Besides, even if she’s dead, Emei Sect is still around.]

  [Perhaps the reward for the quest isn’t a martial art manual or a divine weapon.]

  ***

  [Class One Hall suffered great losses this time.]

  [That’s right. They wanted to win big in Eternal Peace Temple, but Happy stole their wind, and he even managed to get the quest to save the six sects. Now, Chivalry Sect and Mu Clan have become even stronger.]

  [Happy vanished again. I wonder whether he has gone to Class One Hall.]

  [It’s possible. When Beautiful Robes Faction was attacked, didn’t Happy kill Barren Murderer? This time, he killed Blood Robes, and that woman from Class One Hall is definitely panicking right now. I heard that she emptied two branches in Baokang overnight and shifted them to the cities in Western Region.]

  While discussions ran wild online, the person who caused that storm was leaning against his couch calmly while enjoying the bright sun shining on him as he leisurely ate the red bean paste and churros that a beautiful and charming beauty had brought him.

  It was the weekend, and it was a rare chance for Xu Xin to be able to enjoy breakfast together with Happy. She scooped a spoonful of red bean paste and ate it while she took a nibble of churros. She looked very satisfied, and Happy felt that his heart was in a great state of comfort because he got to enjoy a beautiful scene while he ate good food.

  “Xin.”

  “Hmm?”

  Xu Xin’s fluttered her beautiful eyelashes, and a pair of charming eyes landed on Happy’s face.

  Both of them were already used to this peaceful calm and gentleness, and when they spoke to each other, their words were simple. They preferred to use their eyes to communicate.

  “I saw that you reached Life and Death Realm yesterday.”

  Happy’s lips curled in a beautiful arc as he watched the girl’s beautiful and charming face.

  Xu Xin’s eyes lit up. “You’re checking up on South China Martial Arts Ranking Board?”

  “Of course.” Happy was rendered speechless by Xu Xin’s surprise and sighed. “No matter what, I’m one of the developers of South China Martial Arts Ranking Board. I can’t just ignore it. Also, I might not pay attention to the others, but there’s no way I won’t pay attention to my friends, especially the lady who takes care of my meals.”

  “At least you’re honest.” Xu Xin stood up and picked a churros for him. “Accept my gift for you.”

  “Thank you for your gift, milady.”

  “Good boy!”

  Happy was a good sport and accepted Xu Xin’s joke. He then said, “Now that you’re in Life and Death Realm, it’ll be of great importance for you to get a Life and Death Realm martial art. Do you have any in mind right now?”

  “No……” Xu Xin looked dejected and fiddled with her red bean paste dispiritedly. “I’ve been busy with the quests my master gave me and practicing my martial arts. I didn’t have time to contribute to the clan. The demands for the Life and Death Realm martials arts in the clan are so high too. There are thousands of people ranked in front of me.”

  “It’s fine. I have a few Life and Death Realm manuals with me right now, and they’re pretty good. You can think of it as me giving you special favors.”

  “Really?” Xu Xin was delighted.

  Even though she was not in a hurry to get a Life and Death Realm martial art manual since many still did not have them, she still had a feeling that she was holding back everyone, was behind everyone, and could not appear in the frontlines to fight. There were a few times she wanted to tell Happy about it, but she was worried about various things and did not say anything in the end.

  So when she heard that Happy had extra Life and Death martial art manuals, she was instantly delighted!

  But soon, she shook her.

  “Forget it, Young Black and Young White don’t have Life and Death martial art manuals either. It’s better if you hand some to them first. I can’t help in anything anyway. You can give me a manual next time you have extra……”

  “I’ve already prepared theirs.”

  Once he said that, Happy saw Xu Xin look at him with surprise. Then, she began to eat her churros in a delighted manner, and warmth filled his heart.

  ‘You always place yourself at the back for everything, silly girl.’

  In truth, he did not have that thought out of the blue.

  Every single time Qi Ci, Bai Lang, and Chen Fan came over, they would talk to him about Xu Xin. Happy knew that she had been making use of her time to study and practice martial arts, and she had been forcing herself a lot just so that she could catch up with the others. After hearing that, Happy had been thinking about how he could help her.

  The problem was that if he took care of Xu Xin on a daily basis, he would not be helping her. Instead, he would be giving her pressure!

  That was why he had not interfered with the things concerning her and allowed her to get through the most difficult period on her own. Right now though, if she gained a Life and Death Realm martial art manual, she would be able to quickly stand out from among the large group of martial artists who did not have Life and Death Realm martial arts. She would be able to stand on equal ground with the top players!

  Since Xu Xin could overcome a great difficulty and catch up, it would be very easy for her to match the top layers once she had a Life and Death Realm martial art. At least, it would not be impossible for her to be at the same level as the top fighters on South China Martial Arts Ranking Board.

  Breakfast ended in a happy atmosphere!

  When he returned to the game, Happy had Xu Xin choose her own martial art manual.

  Among them were Shaolin Temple’s Zen Sword, Wudang Sect’s Seventeen Big Dipper, Kunlun Sect’s Flowing Clouds Sleeves, which was a palm technique, Mount Hua Sect’s Moon Invitation Sword, and Kongtong Sect’s House Ender.

  Among the Life and Death Realm high-tier martial arts, those five could be considered to be high-class goods.

  Right then, Mu Clan’s development was extraordinary. Phoenix Dances and the others already had Life and Death Realm martial arts, and they did not need to be distracted by anything else. That was why Happy decided to privately settle the ownership of the manuals he had gained and keep them for Xu Xin and the Three Lonely Wolves, which was something rare for him.

  “I have a third-echelon Clear Abyss. Even though its attributes aren’t really that great, it’s still pretty good. Take it. Then you can choose any of the three sword techniques to train.”

  “Alright.”

  Girls usually liked sword techniques more than any other martial arts. Xu Xin might not be with Happy in the game, but she could still sense his concern for her, and she felt warmth bloom in her heart.

  Her gaze moved between Shaolin Temple and Wudang Sect’s sword techniques. In the end, her eyes landed on Mount Hua Sect’s Moon Invitation Sword.

  “I don’t quite understand Zen Sword, and Wudang Sect’s Seventeen Big Dipper seems to be a little too domineering. I’ll choose Moon Invitation Sword.”

  “I knew you’d choose this one.”

  Happy smiled and sent Xu Xin the manual without any hesitation.

  “Moon Invitation places an emphasis on sword will, defense, and counterattack. You can ask for help from Glutinous Rice. Once you reach the higher levels with it, its might will be pretty strong.”

  “How did you know?” Xu Xin asked curiously.

  It had to be known that only players who had practiced a certain sword technique until the higher levels were able to understand their killing technique and the profound secret behind it.

  “I’ve experienced it before.”

  Xu Xin did not doubt Happy’s words. She nodded and listened to his instructions. Once she put them to memory, she eagerly ended their conversation and went out of the city to train.
