"Are you interested in listening to a song from me?"
The young man and woman with the Bamboo Hat did not show their faces. When they were suddenly invited, they could not help but stop and size up the man in the pavilion as well as their surroundings.
The pavilion was built by the side of the mountain path. There was a green meadow nearby, and dozens of feet behind it was a lush forest. The scenery was incredibly beautiful.
The latter was dressed in embroidered robes. He had a handsome face and a gentle temperament, making it difficult for others to dislike him. Also, judging from his technique, he should be very skilled in music, unlike Wind Chimes, who knew less than twenty songs.
"…"
The young woman stopped talking for a moment and turned her head around, as if she was waiting for the man who held her hand to make a decision.
The man paused for a moment before he answered loudly.
"I've never met you before, so it's best if I don't invite you out of the blue." His voice was clear and indifferent. Even though he rejected the man's request, he appeared very relaxed and natural. Even if he intentionally kept a distance, he would not be rude.
"That's a pity …"
The man in the pavilion chuckled softly.
Zither notes continued jumping out of his fingers while he continued speaking. "You're the strongest player in the Chinese server, and you have the ability to make Class One Hall's one hundred thousand army suffer defeat one after another. You can make Class One Hall's army rise in flames of war in the north, but you're afraid of a stranger's rash invitation?"
When he said this, he stopped and did not continue speaking.
"Let me clarify two things."
The young man was not angry at all. At the same time he slowly took off his Bamboo Hat, he said, "First, I've never considered myself to be the strongest in the Chinese server. Second, I'm not worried about a stranger's invitation, but someone's choice of location spoils the mood."
He took off his Bamboo Hat, and the young man's true face was revealed to the man in the pavilion.
He was Happy.
"Oh?"
When the man in the pavilion heard this, he resolutely filtered out the first part. His gaze landed on the detail of Happy holding his female companion's hand, and he could not help but smile wanly.
"Happy, you're right. I did indeed choose the wrong time and spoil your mood. I'm truly sorry, but right now, Class One Hall is in a terrible state of work, and you're leisurely touring the mountain with your beauty. That's a little unreasonable." When he said the last part, he smiled.
"You're wrong again."
"Oh?"
The expression of the man in the pavilion froze.
Happy shook his head and chuckled softly.
"There are still two things. First, I did not reject your invitation because of this. If we were somewhere else and someone played a tune for free to liven up the atmosphere, I would be more than happy to do so. I said that you were rash because the place is not right."
"…"
The smile on the man's face did not diminish as he continued to listen.
"Playing the zither is indeed an elegant and leisurely entertainment. Unfortunately, Shaolin is originally a peaceful and peaceful place, sacred and remote. Your Excellency's zither not only broke my state of mind, but also sounded a little harsh. It's a little superfluous, and I suspect that you are wasting the zither and cooking the crane."
"…"
The man in the pavilion did not expect that his actions would receive such an evaluation from Happy, but Happy's words were reasonable. After he recovered from his shock, he got up and put away his seven-stringed zither.
"I see, I was just rash. Thank you for your reminder, Brother Happy."
Happy's smile did not fade away.
Brother Wei, you should know that during the battle at the plains, I've killed far too many people. I came to Shaolin Temple this time to ask Master Kong Xiang to help me release the souls of tens of thousands of Mongolian soldiers and Class One Hall's heroic souls from purgatory. Of course, while I'm at it, I also intend to receive a few guests at Shaolin Temple. "
When he mentioned Brother Wei, the eyebrows of the man in the pavilion twitched.
When he heard the latter part of the story, his expression turned a little strange.
"I see, Brother Happy, so you know my identity. But may I know who the esteemed guest you want to receive is?"
Happy had a smile on his face, but he did not immediately answer.
"He might not be an esteemed guest, but he might be an uninvited guest." As he spoke, he held the hand of the young woman beside him and calmly walked into the pavilion.
"…"
Wei Zhentian originally had a wary expression on his face, but he could not help but have admiration appear on his face.
"Brother Happy, you still dared to come in even though you know my identity. I admire you. I take back what I said just now."
Wei Zhentian was the real sect master of the strongest sect in America, Dragon Sect. Based on the information provided by Silver Wolf, he was an American Chinese, and his family had already created a rather illustrious business in America. Not only did they have dozens of martial arts centers, they were also involved in multiple industries, and they practiced both literature and martial arts.
In the game, Wandering Know-it-all had long since dug out all of Wei Zhentian's background.
Wei Zhentian was in Life and Death Realm, and his qi was at 570 points. If nothing went wrong, in at most three months, he would enter Moksha Realm.
Wei Zhentian practiced a very normal martial art. He created Wandering Universal Eight Trigrams Souls Palm, and it had the shadow of Universal Eight Trigrams Souls and Wandering Souls Body Movement. His usage of qi had also reached perfection, and he was the only player on the International Great People Rank who relied on his ancestral martial arts to enter the ranks of great people with normal martial arts!
Silver Wolf's evaluation of this person was very high.
It was the same for Wandering Know-it-all!
…
Once Happy understood all of this, he naturally knew why Wei Zhentian said those words.
He did indeed have the right to be arrogant!
He was an elite on the International Great People Rank!
He was one of the top hundred on the International Influential Rank!
And he had predicted that Happy would come to Mount Song, which was why he waited there beforehand.
When he faced a powerful enemy who stood on equal footing with him and waited there beforehand, it was not wrong for him to be wary, but Happy still walked in calmly and at ease.
"What's there to be impressed about?"
Happy chuckled.
"Nine Yang Divine Skill's senses far surpass a normal person's. Even the Prophet, Carlson, cannot decipher everything. Perhaps, Sect Master Wei, are you confident that you can take revenge for your subordinates alone?"
His words made the relationship between Dragon Sect and the Prophet very clear.
Once he said those words, Wei Zhentian instantly laughed.
"My younger brother has already told me about that matter. He's still young, and he doesn't understand the world. When he saw that I had built up a foundation in America and stabilized the situation, he made a ruckus and wanted to bring his disciples to wander in the Chinese server. Brother Happy, you helped me teach him a lesson and made him understand. There's no way I'll blame you."
When he said those words in a gentle tone, his words suddenly changed.
"But I, Zhentian, have come to the Chinese server because I can't wait to personally spar with you. Also, I want to resolve the past conflict and misunderstanding and seek cooperation with Mu Clan."
"Seek cooperation?"
Happy retorted with a mocking tone.
"What about Class One Hall? Has Dragon Sect decided to abandon their ally and work together with their ally's enemy so soon? "
When he heard Happy's sharp words, Wei Zhentian did not get angry.
"Hehe, I've already said that it's a misunderstanding. It's all a decision made by that useless subordinate of mine who messed around blindly. If Happy still can't vent his anger, I can chase him out of the sect and not allow him to step into the Chinese server."
'Sect Master Wei, you sure know how to get rid of yourself.'
He might have been able to tell that Class One Hall had offended Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect, two top-class sects, in one go, and they were already at the heart of the struggle. Right now, even if they continued working together with Class One Hall, Dragon Sect would not be able to gain any substantial progress within a short period of time. In fact, it might even be one or two years, which was why he decided to change his partner.
Happy smiled in his heart, but he did not expose him.
"I've long since heard that the Wandering Universal Eight Trigrams Souls Palm you created is a fusion of the essence of several martial arts. I'd like to experience it."
Wei Zhentian's eyes lit up.
"Brother Happy, didn't you say that you want to entertain a few guests?"
"They should be on their way."
Happy looked up indifferently. "I don't mind. I'm just worried that I'll have a hard time explaining things to them."
"…"
When he heard this, Wei Zhentian was stunned. Then, he smiled bashfully.
"Brother Happy, you must be joking. I'm not the one who contacted Class One Hall. There's no need for me to explain anything to Dream Clouds."
His words were filled with righteousness, and with his gentle appearance, even Happy was nearly convinced.
Unfortunately.
But Wei Zhentian missed something.
Even though the Prophet had the ability to deduce and break the shielding effect of Universe Secrets Inkstone, he did not have a lot of understanding toward it. It was an item that was not part of the five elements, and no one aside from Wandering Know-it-all knew the true secrets behind it.
It was precisely because of this that Wandering Know-it-all still responded and counterattacked appropriately when he faced the Prophet's challenge.
He told Happy about the trade between Dragon Sect and Dream Clouds, and he also supported Mu Clan during the most crucial moment.
This was something Happy admired.
Wandering Know-it-all was different from the Prophet.
He never took the initiative to put himself on the stage, and he was like a true hermit in the Chinese world of martial artists.
The Prophet might seem to have the same ability, and he managed to get a bigger stage than Wandering Know-it-all the moment he took action, but at that moment, he also put himself in the light.
In Wandering Know-it-all's words, diviners went against the will of the heavens, and they should try their best to keep a low profile. Hence, Wandering Know-it-all had even given up on training and all the things in the world of martial artists.
But at the same time the Prophet stepped onto a stage that was difficult to control, he also placed himself on the stage to compete against the world of martial artists in a complicated battle.
It was very unwise!
…
Happy naturally did not believe in Wei Zhentian's words, but he did not show it on his face.
"Since Sect Master Wei said this, I will wait a little longer." As he spoke, he elegantly brought out a pot of wine and two cups from his Universe Bag.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that you would be in such an elegant mood. I've long since heard that the wine in my hometown is intoxicating, but it's a pity that I haven't had the chance to drink since I came to the Chinese server. May I have a drink with you?"
"Of course."
Happy smiled proudly.
Before his voice faded away, Xu Xin took a step forward and grabbed the pot of wine.
Her actions instantly attracted Wei Zhentian's attention.
"Haha, Brother Happy, you're very lucky."
Happy smiled and did not say anything, but a wave of warmth surged in his heart.
'This girl is much smarter than before.'
Pouring wine for Wei Zhentian was not something Happy should do in the strongest sect in the Chinese server. Besides, when he poured wine, he revealed his weaknesses, and it was very unwise in front of a powerful enemy. Even though Happy was confident in himself, he was very resistant to Dragon Sect.
Dragon Sect had contributed quite a lot during the battle in Yangzhou City, and right now, they had even worked together with Class One Hall and the Prophet. They were a great threat, and they were not easy to deal with.
Once Xu Xin was done pouring wine, she gently moved behind Happy.
"Sect Master Wei."
Happy looked up.
"Do you know when the people of the world of martial artists usually drink in the Chinese server during ancient times?"
"…"
Wei Zhentian thought about it for a moment before he shook his head. "I'd like to hear the details."
"They kill and offer wine."
As he spoke, Wei Zhentian widened his eyes. Then, he saw flickering figures behind Happy on the path up the mountain.
