Sword Among Us
Chapter 587 - Coincidentally Obtained!
Panda Novel
The moon hung high in the sky. Gentle light shone faintly on the large slope, and it also shone on the two young men and a woman.
“Thank you for saving me, Young Swordsman Happy. I will remember it.”
As she spoke, Shi Feixuan stood up, seemingly no longer injured.
Happy was stunned for a moment before he looked as if he understood something. He said with a myriad of emotions in him, “Brother Hou seems to have gone on his trip in vain.”
At that moment, he suddenly remembered a famous quote by Zhang Wuji’s mother, Yin Susu.
The more beautiful a woman was, the more skilled she was at lying.
He did not expect that Shi Feixuan would be the same!
Shi Feixuan did not appear to have heard Happy’s words. She had her back turned toward him, and she looked at the night sky above her head while she said faintly, “When I met Empress Yin, you seemed to be at Extreme Yin Lake.”
“That’s right.”
Happy immediately understood what she meant. At that time, Shi Feixuan had noticed him, so he took the opportunity to tell her that he was searching for Seven Stars Beauty Orchid Grass for the antidote for the Wudang Sect and Ming Cult disciples.
“Then, I heard that Old Extreme Yin wanted to harm you, Lady Shi, which was why I followed you here.”
“I see, so that’s how it is.” Praise appeared in Shi Feixuan’s eyes. “Sir, you are indeed kind and benevolent. You traveled miles for those who walk down the righteous path of martial arts and threw yourself into danger in search for an antidote.
“Then, for me, you went up against Old Extreme Yin and forced him away along with Wan Wan. It’s no wonder why the other sects sing praises for you. You are indeed the model for the younger generation.”
Happy replied humbly. “Miss Shi, you praise me too much. How can I hope to compete with you? You were alone, and yet you managed to talk casually with Empress Yin without any fear. I only dared to watch from the distance, so you’ve completely outshone me. I’ve made a fool of myself.”
“You keep calling me Miss Shi, which makes us sound so distant from each other. We’re all wanderers, so just call me Feixuan.” Shi Feixuan’s affection toward Happy had clearly increased by a large margin.
“Alright, then call me by my name as well, Feixuan. Don’t call me young swordsman anymore. It sounds so awkward.”
“Happy, you’re really a person who follows your true nature.”
Shi Feixuan smiled faintly. Even though she did not laugh, Happy felt a sense of delight from her, which made him feel refreshed, as if he had just felt a spring breeze blow against his face.
“I’ve made a fool of myself.”
“It’s good that you follow your true nature. I’m often envious of people like you and hope that I could wander about the lands without any worry, but a pity, my sect has different rules.”
After saying those words, clarity returned to Shi Feixuan’s dazed eyes. She brought out something from her sleeves, and she said to Happy, who did not know how to respond at that moment. “Happy, look, is the Seven Stars Beauty Orchid Grass Physician Wang mentioned like this herb?”
A green plant with three leaves lay in Shi Feixuan’s hand. There were plenty of veins on each leaf, which made it look like there were stars decorating them. They looked very refreshing and enchanting under the moonlight.
“Yes, that is Seven Stars Beauty Orchid Grass…” Happy cast Shi Feixuan a glance in surprised delight. “Feixuan, how did you get this?”
“I heard about the matter with Wudang Sect and Ming Cult when I came here, and I coincidentally saw this when I was near Extreme Yin Lake, which was why I picked some while I was at it. They should be enough for Great Hero Song and the others.”
While saying that, Shi Feixuan handed the Seven Stars Beauty Orchid Grass to Happy.
Happy did not expect that he would obtain Seven Stars Beauty Orchid Grass this way and praised his own luck. If his qi realm had been slighly lower, he might have stayed behind just to keep himself safe.
If that were the case, he would not have been able to complete the quest, and he might even leave behind a bad impression on Shi Feixuan!
Yet by a stroke of luck, not only did he save Shi Feixuan, but also obtained the quest item, Seven Stars Beauty Orchid Grass, ahead of time…
Since Shi Feixuan was fine and he had already obtained Seven Stars Beauty Orchid Grass, there was no longer any need to continue staying in the place.
“Let’s go.”
Happy did not expect that Shi Feixuan would be the one to say those words.
“But Brother Hou…”
“No matter what, Mister Hou is the successor of Flowers Sect. He is someone from the evil cult, and those in the path of righteousness will never mingle with those in the path of evil. Since there is nothing else, let’s leave.”
Once she finished speaking, her sword shone, and she left behind some words carved into the ground with exceptional penmanship. Then, she sheathed her sword and she turned around and left in an otherworldly manner.
Happy cast a deep glance at Shi Feixuan’s back and lamented in resignation over what he saw before he turned around and left as well. There were four words that sounded incredibly cold on the ground and were very eye-catching under the moon.
[I’m fine, don’t worry.]
A cold and callous breeze blew past a lonesome slope and it took away a faint sigh.
*****
After returning to Phoenix Sun County, Shi Feixuan’s appearance caused quite the commotion, especially since she appeared beside Happy. It shocked many people in the game.
If Shi Feixuan was not an NPC, rumors of the two might have already spread far and wide.
But the fact that Happy had been able to “pick up” the extremely popular Shi Feixuan within a short time left many people dumbfounded.
After all, the matter with Zhou Zhiruo had not calmed down yet, and Happy almost immediately caused another major scene. It was only natural then that everyone was shocked.
Countless people cursed Happy for being lucky in envy and jealousy, and they wondered why all the nice things always happened to him.
But only Happy knew that aside from him, only a certain few in the game could easily clear and complete the quest he did.
He searched for the hidden signs serving as landmarks for Beggar’s Sect and quickly rushed to the underground branch of Phoenix Sun, which Beggar’s Sect had recently moved to. Physician Wang and Chen Youliang were there.
“It’s Seven Stars Beauty Orchid Grass indeed!”
Physician Wang took the herb with extreme excitement and quickly made the antidote, which he fed to Song Yuanqiao and the others.
“Great Hero Song and the rest will need to rest for a while before they can wake up. Please come with me and wait outside.”
Chen Youliang led Happy and Shi Feixuan away in an incredibly respectful manner.
When they arrived at the courtyard, Chen Youliang wrapped his fist in his palm and saluted them.
“We managed to find Seven Stars Beauty Orchid Grass in time. Great Hero Song and the others should be safe now. Both of you have contributed to this, and I am also considered to have completed my sect master’s great request.”
He stopped talking for a moment before a troubled look suddenly appeared on his face. “But during the period of time both of you were gone, many of our members were captured by the evil cult, and the secret of the branch might be revealed at any moment, but it is not convenient to move Great Hero Song and the others, which is why I was thinking…”
“Don’t worry. Since we’re here, we will naturally protect Great Hero Song and the others as well as Beggar’s Sect’s branch.”
As it was expected of a disciple of Kind Boathouse. Shi Feixuan was skilled and courageous. She understood what Chen Youliang was implying and agreed to it without another word. Then, she turned around to ask Happy, “What are your thoughts about this?”
“I’m duty bound not to refuse.”
It was the quest Happy came for, so he naturally did not have any reason to refuse it.
Chen Youliang was instantly overjoyed.
COMMENT
“This is great! It’d be best if you two served as garrisons here. I could be at ease then.”
After he finished speaking, Shi Feixuan and Happy frowned, and they looked to the door of the backyard at the same time.
“What conceited words!”
An unfamiliar voice came from outside the yard!
Immediately after…
Boom!
The wooden door suddenly shattered into countless pieces, and they turned into countless sharp hidden weapons that pounced toward the trio in the yard.
Happy took a step forward. With a swing of his arm, an astonishing qi flow with a dull dragon roar swept the countless wooden shards back, and they crashed into the person who had shot into the courtyard.
Boom!
