The fake Xu Zhiling's actions were clearly reflected in the three women's eyes. Aside from Shi Qingxuan, Shi Feixuan and Wan Wan felt their hearts tremble, and pain appeared on their faces for a moment.
"Feixuan, Wan Wan, you should go back. Kuo Zhong is Zhiling's brother. You know that nothing will happen, but you still ask about Kuo Zhong's whereabouts. Anyone would be angry."
"Since Zhiling doesn't want to talk to me, please help him bandage his wounds, Artisan Shi. I will leave first."
"Zhiling …"
Wan Wan refused to give up. Even though Xu Zhiling's actions made sense, she had not gotten rid of her previous puzzlement, and she refused to leave immediately.
Right when she was about to take action, she noticed that Xu Zhiling had used his injured hand to quickly form a seal.
"Appear!"
The air trembled! A solemn expression appeared on Xu Zhiling's face. His eyes burned like the sun, and he stared at Wan Wan, who was prepared to test him further.
Unmovable Bright King Seal!
Behind the solemn expression was a pair of emotionless and cold eyes. They landed on Wan Wan's face.
She also found it difficult to withstand the impact of the Daoist mantra on her mind. When she saw Xu Zhiling execute the Nine True Words Seals, the puzzlement in her heart disappeared, and a hint of guilt and uneasiness rose in her heart.
"…"
She did not leave behind a single word. She cast Xu Zhiling an incredibly resentful glance, and like an elf, she quickly moved into the night in the river.
At that moment, the moon had already hidden itself behind the clouds.
The pleasure boat became quiet again, and only Happy and Shi Qingxuan were left.
After a while, Shi Qingxuan sent him a private message. "That was close. Fortunately, you were smart and used those actions to conceal your presence. You managed to scare them away, or else, you would have definitely delayed Zhiling and Young Zhong's plans."
"Now, I've passed?"
What he did not know was that his heart had been in his throat just then, and he had to use Unmovable Bright King Seal to strengthen his will and strengthen his body. He did not expect that by a stroke of luck, he managed to scare away Wan Wan, who was the most troublesome person to deal with.
Shi Qingxuan smiled faintly and continued sending him a private message.
"It's about time. Even if the people from the evil cult and Dao Sect notice that you're fake, it won't affect Zhiling and Young Zhong." He stopped talking for a moment before he said, "This time, it's all thanks to you that Eunuch Yang's Warehouse was able to land safely in Zhiling and Young Zhong's hands. Alright, I'll be leaving now." Right after he finished speaking, the system notification rose.
"Ding!"
"Completed Xu Zhiling's request. Obtained one hundred thousand World of Martial Arts Chivalry Points. Your relationship with Xu Zhiling has become Intimate, and your relationship with Shi Qingxuan has become Familiar."
As expected! Happy was delighted. There was no reward.
This also meant that he had indeed received a rare gentleman's quest, a request between gentlemen.
The disadvantage of this mission was that although there was no substantial reward, a gentleman had to open his heart to Xu Zhiling. Through this mission, the relationship between Xu Zhiling and him had become closer. In fact, it was not much different from trust. In the future, it would be much easier to obtain missions from Xu Zhiling or directly interfere with Xu Zhiling's missions.
When he thought of this, he stood up.
Bright moonlight shone down from the edge of the clouds. Shi Qingxuan stood gracefully. Her face was covered by a white veil. She looked mysterious and cold, like a fairy who had fallen to the mortal world.
"Brother Zhiling asked me to take care of Artisan Shi. Right now, he hasn't arrived yet, and it would be inappropriate for me to leave."
"Oh well, since you insist, I will have to trouble you to escort me." Shi Qingxuan nodded gently. Her gentle and pleasant voice made Happy feel as if all the troubles in the world had disappeared.
It was no wonder then why Xu Zhiling could give up on a sexy elf from the evil cult and Shi Feixuan, who was relatively inflexible and dogmatic, and choose to spend his life with Shi Qingxuan. If it were any other man …
Ahem, it would be very difficult to make a choice between the three women!
Only Xu Zhiling, who was a hermit swordsman who stood aloof from worldly affairs but had a hot-blooded heart, could obtain the favor of three matchless beauties at the same time.
Under the moonlight, the pleasure boat slowly set sail!
Happy and Shi Qingxuan stood on the deck.
More than ten pleasure boats tailed behind them on the river.
…
Boom!
Rumble!
On the wide government-made road was a long line of carriages escorted by more than two hundred regular cavaliers. They charged to the port by the river at full speed while the sky was still dark.
There were a total of twenty well-made and sturdy carriages, and they were pulled by two-headed horses. Each carriage had four huge chests nailed with copper nails, and with just one glance, anyone could tell that the items inside were incredibly important.
The drivers were all elite soldiers in standard armor. They were equipped with sabers, swords, and crossbows. Their gazes shone brightly, and they looked murderous!
There was no need to even mention the cavaliers who escorted the carriages. They were all heavy-armored cavaliers, and they held the reins in one hand while they held small and exquisite repeating crossbows in the other. When the crossbows were drawn, they could shoot at anyone who got close to the carriages at any moment. Their great murderous aura could be sensed from the distance.
Once the martial artists nearby noticed the murderous aura from the people, they wisely retreated to a safe area and watched the carriages leave into the distance.
"What's going on?"
"That group of people just now seems to be the marshall's army."
"That's not right! Didn't the rumors in the game say that the marshall's army is poorly equipped? How could there be a standard armored army? And their equipment is so good! "
As they spoke, a man who rushed over from the direction of the carriages shouted at the top of his lungs, "Did you hear that?! Did you hear that quest?!" There was also endless excitement and surprise in his anxious expression. Under the puzzled gazes of the people on the side of the road, he eagerly tossed out a piece of shocking news like a machine gun.
"Those things are all equipment and weapons that were transported from Eunuch Yang's Warehouse!"
"What?!"
The expressions of the people by the road changed at the same time.
Eunuch Yang's Warehouse was the quest that worried them the most. Even after a night had passed, they still did not receive any news regarding Eunuch Yang's Warehouse. Many people even thought that Happy had already occupied it, so they did not expect that they would run into him here.
"You're not lying to us, right? Are those really the treasures from Eunuch Yang's Warehouse?!"
"Duh! Otherwise, how could they have caused such a huge ruckus?! " The person who gave the news was also very anxious. He did not stop and said, "You were far away just now, but I was close, which is why I received the notification from the system. The system said that this army is escorting the first batch of treasures from Eunuch Yang's Warehouse to the port by the river. At that time, they will transport them out of Yangzhou City and hand them over to the marshall's army!"
"What's the details of the quest?!"
"There's still half an hour left. As long as we can steal this batch of treasures and hand them over to Li Shiming or the imperial court, each chest can be exchanged for one million taels of silver and a low-grade demon vessel!"
Right when he finished speaking, the many martial artists by the road could no longer hold themselves back. Their eyes turned bloodshot, and they summoned their steeds while cursing. Then, they chased after the marshall's army's carriages in a hurry!
"Haha! The chance to get rich is here! "
"Don't run! Count me in!" But they did not notice that even though the man who gave the news had summoned his steed, he did not move. Instead, there was a cold smile on his face as he stared at the hundreds of martial artists who rushed forward.
Would the marshall's heavy-armored cavaliers be so easy to deal with?!
