Madam Wang!
Even though it was just a quick glance, Happy's photographic memory had always been very strong, and he was also fortunate enough to have seen Madam Wang and that portrait. He could tell with just one glance that the person who walked into the palanquin was the mistress of Mantuo Villa and Wang Yuyan's mother — Madam Wang.
He actually ran into Mantuo Villa's Madam Wang in the Murong Clan!
Even though Mantuo Villa was in Lake Tai and was related to the Murong Clan, this was the first time Happy saw Madam Wang visit the Murong Clan. He could not help but be shocked. He stopped where he was and watched the servant girl who came with Madam Wang call the bearers to move.
Even though Mantuo Villa was just a small place Madam Wang had set up out of boredom and could not be considered as a force of power in the world of martial artists, it was still very arrogant. When it went out, it was always surrounded by people. No one knew whether it was because Duan Zhengchun had spoiled it.
Happy moved to the side of the road and cast a glance at them with a smile before he lost his interest. Instead, he cast a few more glances at Uncle Rong, who came out to send him off. Deep emotions and sentiments rose in his eyes.
"Stop!"
When Madam Wang's ceremonial guard passed by Happy, a bright and beautiful voice that did not lose its awe-inspiring might suddenly rose from the palanquin. The servant girl who served by the side quickly went up to her, and her voice was very clear. "Madam."
"Go and ask if the boy by the side of the road has something from Mantuo Villa on him." The sedan chair was gently opened a small gap, and Madam Wang ordered from inside.
"…"
There were not many people by the side of the road, and the palanquin coincidentally stopped beside Happy and Wind Chimes. When the servant girl heard his words, she turned around, and her beautiful eyes landed on Happy. "Sir, my madam wants to ask you whether you have anything from Mantuo Villa on you. Mantuo Villa always smears Thousand Mile Incense on the valuable items, and it will not melt even after a long time. If you have it, please bring it out."
"Oh?"
By his side, Wind Chimes had a dumbfounded expression on her face, and she blurted out, "Mantuo Villa? Could it be Langhuan Blessed Ground?"
Madam Wang's servant girl did not seem to have heard Wind Chimes' words. She stared at Happy without blinking and said again, "Young master, please return it."
"Return?"
Happy finally registered what was going on.
The other party should be talking about that painting. With a thought, Zhang Xuan immediately brought it out from his Universe Bag.
At that moment, Happy sensed that the heartbeat in the palanquin had quickened. The half-lifted curtains were drawn back, and Madam Wang could not help but reveal her true face. She took the initiative to speak. "Sir, this painting is the work of a friend of mine when I was young. The person drawn on it is my face. If you are willing to return it, I will be eternally grateful."
What he said was very reasonable.
Unfortunately for him, he ran into Happy, who loved to think and investigate things deeply, so there were quite a number of flaws in his plan.
If it was just a self-portrait, did he only draw one when he was young?
Furthermore …
Before he even opened it, the other party already knew what was inside!
There was also what the maidservant had just said.
Only Mantuo Villa's valuable items would use Thousand Mile Incense because it was easy to retrieve them.
It could be understood that Mrs. Wang valued this portrait very much, but how could she know that an ordinary self-portrait would be coveted by others? Lost?
That didn't make sense.
The only explanation was …
There was a secret hidden inside!
Moreover.
Right from the start, Happy had never thought that the portrait hanging in the treasure house of Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts would be ordinary. In fact, he had come to the south to search for Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan, and his goal was to decipher the secret behind it.
However, since he was intercepted by Madam Wang, it seemed that the secret was not as simple as he thought …
In World of Martial Arts, there were some people who had quest items that could trigger the plot, but they might not be able to successfully trigger the plot.
Some people might not be willing to hand over the plot honestly!
Just like now.
If he really did as Madam Wang said and handed over the portrait, Madam Wang might casually give him tens of thousands of taels of silver crumbs as a reward for his labor in going to Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts. Naturally, Happy would not hand over the item in his hands so easily.
"Madam Wang, you are mistaken."
Happy said,
"I risked my life to bring this painting back from the Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts. It's a treasure from the rumored barbarian merchant. Madam Wang, aren't you a little too rash if you want to take it away with just a few words?"
"Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts?"
Madam Wang's face turned slightly pale, and she seemed to be a little uneasy.
"How is it related to Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts? They actually hung this portrait in Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts?" When she said this, she suddenly thought of something, and she quickly recovered. "Young master, it's just a piece of calligraphy hanging on the wall. The barbarian merchant only hung it there because he thought it looked nice. Even if it's a treasure, there's a price for it. I'll buy it for two hundred thousand taels of silver crumbs. What do you think?"
"If it was a piece of calligraphy placed in a normal room, I would naturally not care about it. So what if I gave it to you as a gift? But aside from this piece of calligraphy, there are also a lot of ultimate techniques from the current world of martial artists in that room. I can be considered to be a martial artist. This portrait is very lifelike, and it's ethereal and captivating. It seems to contain … no matter how I look at it, it's not an ordinary item. Madam Wang, please don't bully me because I'm young and ignorant. "
When Wind Chimes heard this, she felt too embarrassed to look at Madam Wang and her maidservants. She felt that Happy was a rascal.
He even dared to come up with all sorts of nonsense.
However, Madam Wang's reaction was slightly against her expectations.
Madam Wang's expression changed. Her expression changed several times.
"What do I have to do for you to give me the portrait?"
"Of course, Madam Wang will have to be sincere in helping me decipher it, or else, if I just use normal excuses, I might not be able to get this portrait."
When he noticed the change in Madam Wang's emotions, Happy was certain that Madam Wang was in a hurry to get the portrait, and the secret behind it was definitely not simple.
Also …
The mention of Langhuan Blessed Ground by Wind Chimes reminded him that perhaps it was related to Langhuan Blessed Ground.
"This is not the place to talk. Sir, are you willing to come with me to Mantuo Villa? At that time, I will tell you everything in detail."
Madam Wang asked with a complicated expression.
"I'm not free today."
Happy rejected her very straightforwardly.
"You —"
Madam Wang did not say anything, but the maidservant beside her became angry! She glared at Happy with a scowl.
Happy smiled.
"I really don't have time today. If you're not in a hurry, I will definitely visit Mantuo Villa another day."
"Alright!"
Madam Wang finally agreed to it. "Three days. I'll give you three days. Once the time is up, I will pretend that I didn't run into you today and that I didn't see the portrait in your hands. After all, all of this no longer belongs to me since many years ago."
She smiled wanly with a gloomy expression and let down the curtain.
The maidservant beside her seemed to still be brooding over the matter. She snorted indignantly and ordered the bearers to move. She did not bid farewell to Happy and just walked into the distance with them.
"Did you receive a notification for the storyline quest?" Wind Chimes cast a glance at the man beside her. When she saw that he was smiling very happily, she could not help but roll her eyes at him. "I didn't expect that I would be able to trigger a storyline quest like this. This quest should be classified as a time-limited hidden quest. Its level is not low, and it might even be a martial art manual."
"Heh heh."
Happy smiled noncommittally. She was the mistress of Mantuo Villa. Based on Wang Yuyan's abilities, it was not difficult for him to guess that the quest reward in Madam Wang's hands was definitely a martial art manual, and there was a high chance that it was an ultimate technique!
"Let's not talk about this. We haven't completed the quest your master gave us. Don't let the Wild Wolves escape. Do you look for a place to hide first, or …"
Happy changed the topic.
When she heard this, Wind Chimes' expression finally turned serious, and her gaze darkened. "No, I'll go with you."
"If the three Wild Wolves work together, they can't be underestimated. It'll be very difficult for you to deal with them alone. I've already recovered, so I can lend you a hand."
When she said this, Wind Chimes' tone gradually turned cold, and the killing intent in her eyes was very clear.
"…"
Happy sighed in his heart when he saw this.
In this world, Wind Chimes only had a Divine Diviner who did not know how to fight against others. She did not have anyone else she could trust or entrust to. Her fight against the Wild Wolves was extraordinary. By the looks of it, she had trained her personality to the point that she was completely different from the other world. Just now, she had even tried to use words to sow discord between him and the Wild Wolves because of Blood Alliance and Class One Hall.
Windling, on the other hand, had her own thoughts.
But …
Happy also had his own decisions and thoughts.
"No."
Happy said.
"Your master also said that they don't lack Illusion Life and Death Pills. The three of them came to the Chinese server with the goal of fighting against you. Even though they failed because of me, they might not give up! "If they have a backup plan and something happens to you, the Wild Wolves will still complete the quest. At that time, how am I supposed to answer to your master?"
Once he finished speaking, he said in a tone that allowed no argument,
"Later, you're not allowed to go anywhere. Stay in the restaurant in the city and wait for my news."
"Of course I know that I'm their target, but can you do it alone?" Wind Chimes stared at him with puzzlement in her eyes.
No matter what, he was a member of Wild Wolves. Right now, they were the greatest and most mysterious underground force in the world, and they were the kings of the dark world.
She had also used a forbidden technique to kill the two Wild Wolves elites, and the price she paid was that Wild Wolves had nearly succeeded in their plans!
"Don't worry."
When he heard this, Happy smiled, not minding it at all. "If I had to fight against the three of them head on, I would indeed not have the confidence to win. Each of them is much stronger than the three Blood Alliance elders I killed, but with your master's help, they won't know that I'm in Gusu City. Heh heh, things will be much easier."
That was right.
Ten True Dragon Styles was an ultimate technique that could allow him to seize the initiative, control his enemies, and create a fatal threat to his enemies. In the past, every single time Happy was forced into a passive situation, he could turn the tables.
Now, he appeared beside his enemies like an invisible person and suddenly attacked when they were caught off guard.
Happy was confident that he could instantly kill one or even two enemies.
If he did this, he would definitely attract Wild Wolves' attention. In fact, he would even attract the attention of the Prophet, who had never shown himself.
But Happy did not mind it at all.
Because of it, the situation between the two sides became a little similar.
He would work together with Wandering Know-it-all to fight against Wild Wolves and the Prophet!
