When the Sword Sect elites surrounded Thousand-faced Human Fox, he was chased to a spot not too far away. He used Great Turtle Breathing and hid in the shadows of the shrubs without moving. He saw the entire process of the Sword Sect Master being suppressed without missing a single detail.
"…"
Even though he looked calm on the surface, Thousand-faced Human Fox's heart was tumbling nonstop like a storm, and he could not calm down even after a long time had passed.
The former Sword Sect Master, Jian Ao, was a famous martial artist in the dao of heaven. If he fought alone, he might not lose to Evil King.
In the beginning, Thousand-faced Human Fox was worried that the Sword Sect Master would vent his anger on him after he killed Happy, but when he saw the scene before him, Thousand-faced Human Fox no longer knew how to express the shock in his heart.
Dozens of Sword Sect elites formed a formation to wait for him, but they could not stop Happy's footsteps. They could not stop Happy from suppressing and chasing after the Sword Sect Master's domineering might.
He was just a normal Shaolin Temple disciple and a young hero in Inaction Realm.
Right now, Thousand-faced Human Fox had already forgotten that he came over to send a private message to Happy to work together to break out of the encirclement.
To him, there was no longer any need for him to break out of the encirclement.
Sword Sect's sword formation was as sturdy as a piece of tofu before Happy, and it was even more so for the Sword Sect Master. He was forced to retreat repeatedly from the start to the end. If the Sword Sect elites had not risked their lives to save him, the Sword Sect Master would have already been heavily injured by Happy. Right now, forget about fighting, even his courage to stay was completely destroyed. He fled without even turning his head back, leaving behind dozens of Sword Sect elites' corpses and a group of people who fled in all directions.
"…"
Once the Sword Sect Master fled in a pathetic manner, the Sword Sect elites also left the island one after another. The forest became quiet again.
"…"
Thousand-faced Human Fox lay on the ground without moving.
At that moment, he knew that the most dangerous moment was over. Right now, he just had to wait for Happy to leave after he obtained Heaven Crystal and obtained complete victory.
But what he did not expect was that light and slow footsteps rose by his ears. They were getting closer and closer.
Thud!
Thud thud!
Even if he entered the state of Turtle Breathing, Thousand-faced Human Fox still felt his heartbeat quicken, and he became nervous.
"How long are you going to lie there?"
The footsteps stopped for half a minute before Happy's mocking voice rose in his ears.
"…"
Thousand-faced Human Fox's heart trembled, but he did not immediately get up.
"Do you want me to personally invite you out?" Right after he finished speaking, a faint sword will swept toward the spot where Thousand-faced Human Fox hid.
"No!"
Thousand-faced Human Fox shot out of the bushes like a rabbit.
Happy had been keeping his eyes on Thousand-faced Human Fox. Right when Thousand-faced Human Fox made his move, Happy immediately moved to block his path.
He cried out in surprise, "Sect Master Happy, we have no grudge against each other in the past, and we have no grudge against each other recently …" The strength Happy displayed just then had indeed shocked him, and right then, he did not have any leverage to negotiate with Happy, so there was no way he would dare to speak to Happy in such a manner.
"When you left Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction, did you take away an important treasure from them?"
"…"
Thousand-faced Human Fox's eyes lit up. Then, he narrowed his eyes in a very shrewd manner.
He did not give him the chance to build up his confidence. He stared into his eyes, and his tone was indifferent. "Don't be troubled. I have Heaven Crystal with me, and it doesn't matter to me whether or not I have the great treasures of Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction."
As he spoke, Heaven Crystal, which was exuding a bone-chilling chill, swung around in a seemingly unintentional manner.
"… Don't! This is it. "
Thousand-faced Human Fox's lips twitched. He stared at the sharp tip of Heaven Crystal, and he was nearly scared out of his wits. As if he was performing magic, a familiar item appeared in his palm.
'The plate of the sect leader of Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction?'
Happy's pupils shrank, and he cast Thousand-faced Human Fox a glance in surprise.
He was naturally familiar with this item. In the past, when the sect leader of Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction was in Gusu City, she had given this item to him, but it was a fake.
But it was also because of that quest that Happy obtained the real token of the sect leader of Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction. With his photographic memory, he could naturally tell whether the item in Thousand-faced Human Fox's hands was real or fake.
However, there was something that puzzled Happy.
The sect leader's plate was something that Qing Xue, the sect leader of Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction, kept close to her person. How did Thousand-faced Human Fox obtain it?
At that moment, Happy's opinion of Thousand-faced Human Fox's abilities rose even higher.
But Thousand-faced Human Fox naturally did not know this. Even now, he was still very uneasy. He was worried that Happy would go back on his word and take the item before he killed him to silence him. With a slightly fearful expression, he looked at Happy in an attempt to curry favor.
"When I was a spy in Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction, I saw the sect leader of Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction holding this plate when she was alone. Since the material of this item is very unique, I thought that it was definitely a good treasure, which is why I stole it. Sect Master Happy, if you like it, you can take it."
"…"
Happy grabbed it without holding back and sensed the warmth and touch brought by the familiar material of the sect leader's plate. He cast Thousand-faced Human Fox a faint glance.
"Only this?"
Happy's calm tone did not sound as calm to Thousand-faced Human Fox's ears. He thought that Happy was dissatisfied with it, and he was shocked. He quickly answered, "Only this. Even if I lied to others, I wouldn't dare lie to you, Sect Master Happy."
'Heh, you sure know how to flatter me.'
Happy laughed in his heart, but he did not show any respect to Thousand-faced Human Fox.
"Oh? Didn't you say that you were Chu Liuxiang? "
"Urk."
Thousand-faced Human Fox's face turned pale because of Happy's words. He stuttered and could not say anything. He looked at Happy awkwardly. "Sect Master Happy, you're a magnanimous person."
At that moment, Happy had already received a notification from the system. He had obtained Heaven Crystal and the important treasure of Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction, and he had completed his quest.
But Thousand-faced Human Fox did not leave, and it caused Happy to be a little tempted. He thought about it quickly, and he instantly came to the conclusion that he should be able to get more benefits from Thousand-faced Human Fox, a top-class thief.
If he did not take advantage of something that was delivered to him, he would be destroyed by the heavens!
When he thought of this, Happy instantly calmed down.
"You stole my Heaven Crystal and even set a trap to ambush me. You shouldn't be able to resolve this debt so easily with just one sentence, right?"
Happy said faintly as he stared at Thousand-faced Human Fox.
Thousand-faced Human Fox smiled wanly.
"Sect Master Happy, what do I have to do for you to stop? Why don't you tell me directly?" After all, he had just seen the sect master of Sword Sect nearly get killed by Happy, and he had to lower his stance. His tone was filled with resignation and dejected.
"I want to learn your thieving skills and lightness skill." A thought appeared in Happy's head.
Since Thousand-faced Human Fox could obtain a valuable treasure like the sect master's plate from a grandmaster at the peak of Myth Realm, it was enough to prove that his thieving skills were great, and he was the best in the world.
As for his lightness skill …
His speed was above Wave-like Subtle Steps. Even though he could not use it in fights, it was enough for him to create a top-class elite for Lovely Land.
"What do you think?"
Happy asked. "As long as you give me the manuals for your thieving skills and lightness skill, we'll be even."
Thousand-faced Human Fox's face turned red with rage when he heard Happy's conditions. He nearly went berserk.
"No!"
A piercing voice tore through the night.
Whoosh …
It startled countless birds returning to their nests.
Thousand-faced Human Fox quickly noticed that his reaction was too extreme when he saw Happy's dark expression. His expression changed, and his tone quickly changed. "Sect Master Happy, we rely on our thieving skills and lightness skills to walk the world. Unless we have a disciple who catches our fancy, we will never teach our thieving skills and lightness skills to others. If you insist on learning my lightness skill and thieving skills, it would be better for you to kill me right now."
"…"
Happy frowned in a gloomy manner.
Sure enough, a legacy was not something that could be obtained easily.
He was prepared to be rejected, but he did not expect that his thieving skills and lightness skill would not work.
"Then what can you give me?"
Happy would naturally not kill Thousand-faced Human Fox in anger. Instead, he pretended to be unhappy and asked, "The only things that catch my fancy among the things you have are your thieving skills and lightness skill."
"I also have the treasures from the seven great sects —"
Halfway through his sentence, Thousand-faced Human Fox suddenly thought of something. His expression changed, and he cast Happy a glance before he quickly swallowed the rest of his words.
Happy naturally understood why Thousand-faced Human Fox suddenly shut up. He said faintly, "Looks like aside from the treasures from the seven great sects, you don't have anything else that can interest me."
"… I do."
Thousand-faced Human Fox could sense a hint of killing intent in Happy's words. He gulped and quickly said, "Aside from the treasures from the seven great sects, I've also dug up some ruins, and I obtained some decent divine weapons and martial art manuals." He stopped talking for a moment and hesitated for a moment before he looked at Happy awkwardly. "Of course, Sect Master Happy, you might not be interested in these things."
"There's more!"
When he saw that Happy was showing signs of impatience, Thousand-faced Human Fox quickly said, "I also have some secrets about the ruins in my hands."
"I'm not interested in taking risks. I want things that I can see."
With just one sentence, Happy destroyed Thousand-faced Human Fox's fantasies.
An anguished expression appeared on his face, and his heart burned with anxiety.
Happy had Heaven Crystal in his hands, and no divine weapon could pique his interest. He also had ultimate techniques like Sun Finger and Wave-like Subtle Steps with him, and normal martial art manuals could not interest him. If he cast aside the treasures from the seven great sects that had great karmic ties to them, he would not be able to find anything suitable to exchange with Happy.
But Happy was not in a hurry to urge Thousand-faced Human Fox.
Since the system did not give him any notification, he was happy to let Thousand-faced Human Fox continue racking his brains to think of a way to get more information and choices from Thousand-faced Human Fox.
He used around half an hour.
Happy finally obtained a few decent choices from Thousand-faced Human Fox.
One of them was the treasures from the seven great sects.
For example, Beggar's Sect's Dog Beating Staff and Emei Sect's Heavenly Sword.
The other choice was the martial art manuals Thousand-faced Human Fox had searched through the ruins in the world of martial artists over the years. Some of them were pretty good ultimate techniques.
The last choice was for Thousand-faced Human Fox to stay by Happy's side for half a year. They promised to be his follower for half a year, and during that time, Thousand-faced Human Fox would go wherever Happy went. But to protect his reputation, Thousand-faced Human Fox would always wear a human skin mask.
The price Happy needed to pay was five hundred thousand taels of silver crumbs as Thousand-faced Human Fox's employment fee every day.
He was probably the first person in the game who could get a divine thief at the later stage of Myth Realm as his follower. Happy keenly sensed the value in this, and without hesitation, he chose the last option. He had Thousand-faced Human Fox stay by his side and hide his name as his follower for half a year.
