“My friends, are you interested in listening to my song?”

The young man and woman with the Bamboo Hats did not show their faces. When they were suddenly extended this invitation, they could not help but stop and size up the man in the pavilion, along with their surroundings.

The pavilion was built by the side of the mountain track, and there was a patch of green grass nearby. Dozens of feet behind it was lush, green mountain, and the scenery was incredibly beautiful.

The man was dressed in brocade robes, and he looked incredibly handsome. There was a gentle air about him, and it was difficult for anyone to feel any sort of aversion toward him. Besides, judging by his movements, he should have a very clear knowledge of music, and he was not like Wind Chimes, who was an amateur who knew fewer than twenty pieces.

The young man and woman said nothing. The young woman only stopped for a while before she turned her face around, as if she was waiting for the man who held her hand to make the decision.

The young man also stopped only for a moment before he answered clearly, “We’re complete strangers, and it’s better if you don’t extend an invitation without careful consideration.”

His voice was clear and calm. Even though he refused the request from the person in the pavilion, he appeared to be incredibly composed and natural in his movements. Although he intentionally kept a distance from the man in the pavilion, he was not rude in it.

“That’s a pity…” The man in the pavilion chuckled.

Notes continued singing from between his fingers, and he continued speaking, “You’re the strongest in the Chinese server, and you have the ability to make Class One Hall one hundred thousand-man army return in failure repeatedly. You lit up the flames of war in the north around Class One Hall, and you are afraid of a stranger’s sudden invitation?”

When he said this, he stopped talking and did not continue.

The young man was not angered at all. At the same time he slowly took off his Bamboo Bat, he said, “Allow me to make two things clear. One, I have never considered myself to be the strongest in the Chinese server. Two, I am not worried about a stranger suddenly extending an invitation to me, it’s just that someone decided to choose a spot that spoils the scenery.”

Once he took off his Bamboo Hat, the young man’s real face was revealed before the man in the pavilion. He was, indeed, Happy.

“Oh?” When the man in the pavilion heard this, he resolutely filtered the first point Happy made. His gaze landed on Happy and the girl’s hands clasped together, and he could not help but smile wanly, “Are you blaming me for choosing the wrong time and spoiling your mood? I am truly sorry about that.

“But right now, Class One Hall is in a terrible plight, and yet, you are here leisurely bringing along someone while you wander about the mountains. Isn’t it a little unreasonable?”

When he said his last phrase, he was already giggling.

“You’re wrong again.”

“Oh?” The man in the pavilion had his expression freeze.

Happy shook his head and chuckled. “It’s still two points this time. One, I rejected your offer not because of this. If I were somewhere else and someone offered to play me free music to regulate the atmosphere, I would more than welcome the offer, but I said that you were obtrusive because the location you chose is not right.”

The man in the pavilion did not speak, but his smile did not fade away. He continued listening to Happy’s words.

“Playing a piece is indeed an elegant and leisurely entertainment. Unfortunately, Shaolin Temple itself is already a peaceful and tranquil place. It is holy and secluded. Your piece not only disturbed my mood, the notes you play are also slightly piercing to the ears. It’s a little superfluous, and I suspect you are trying to spoil something beautiful.”

The man in the pavilion was rendered speechless. He did not expect that his actions will actually make Happy evaluate him this way. But what Happy said was indeed reasonable. After he overcame his shock, he got up and put away his seven-stringed zither.

“It seems that I have been rash. Thank you for giving me this reminder, Brother Happy.”

Happy continued speaking without his smile fading away, “Two, I don’t have the mood to bring about a beauty to wander around the mountains in Shaolin Temple this time. You should know that, Brother Wei. During the war at the plains, I have spilled too much blood, and I came to Shaolin Temple this time to ask Master Kong Xiang to help those tens of thousands of Mongolian soldiers and the Class One Hall members’ souls be released from purgatory. Of course, I am also here with the intention to host some guests at Shaolin Temple.”

When he was exposed to be “Brother Wei”, the man in the pavilion had his eyebrows twitch, and when he heard the last part of Happy’s sentence, he could not help but have his expression turn a little strange.

“I see, so you know who I am, but I wonder, who are the guests that you intend to host…?”

Happy was full of smiles, but he did not immediately answer his question. “I wouldn’t actually say that they are honored guests. Perhaps they are actually guests with ill intentions.”

As he spoke, he held the young man by his side and casually walked into the pavilion.

Wei Zhentian, the man in the pavilion, originally had a face full of wariness, but he could not help but put on an expression full of admiration.

“You dare come inside even though you know of my identity? I am full of respect for you know, and I take back my words.”

Wei Zhentian was the real sect master of the strongest sect in America—Dragon Sect. Based on the information Silver Wolf provided, Wei Zhentian was a Chinese American, and his family had already created a rather illustrious business in America. Not only did they have dozens of martial art schools, they were also involved in multiple businesses, and they can be said to have both brawns and brains.

Wandering Know-it-all had long since dug out all of Wei Zhentian’s past as well.

Wei Zhentian was in Life and Death Realm, and his qi was at 570 points. If no accidents happened, in at most three months, he will enter Moksha Realm.

The martial arts Wei Zhentian practiced was very normal. He created a technique on his own called Wandering Universal Eight Trigrams Souls Palm, and it contained the shadows of Universal Eight Trigrams and Wandering Souls Body Movement. He had also perfected his use of his qi, and he was the only one on Great People Rank who relied on the martial arts passed down from his ancestors as well as normal martial arts to enter the ranks of the Great People Rank!

Silver Wolf’s evaluation toward this person was very high, and it was the same for Wandering Know-it-all.

And since Happy understood all this, he naturally knew why Wei Zhentian said those words.

He did indeed have the right to be arrogant.

He was in the International Great People Rank and was also ranked among the top one hundred players on the International Influential Rank of the Strong.

Besides, he managed to predict that Happy will come to Mount Song, and he came here beforehand to wait for him.

When he faced a powerful enemy who stood on equal grounds with with him and even came to face him before the others, Happy was wary, but he still walked in with great calm and composure.

Happy chuckled and said, “There’s nothing about me worth admiring. Nine Yang Divine Skill’s perception is much greater than a normal person’s perception. Even the Prophet Carlson cannot understand it completely. Or rather, are you that confident that you can take revenge for your subordinates, Sect Master Wei?”

With those words, he clearly stated that there was a relationship between Dragon Sect and the Prophet.

Once this statement was made, Wei Zhentian immediately laughed. “My younger brother has already mentioned that matter to me. He’s still young and immature. When he saw that I’ve already created a foundation for our sect in America and secured our position there, he began making a ruckus to bring our members here to wander around the Chinese server. You’ve taught him a lesson for me, Brother Happy, and you helped him become more mature. There is no way I will blame you for that.”

He said all those with a calm tone, and then, it suddenly changed, “But I came this time to the Chinese server because I have great urge in my heart to personally spar against you. Also, I wish to resolve our past conflict and misunderstandings so that we can form a working relationship with Mu Clan.”

“You want a working relationship with Mu Clan?” Happy retorted with a mocking tone. “What about Class One Hall? What is it now? Is Dragon Sect going to cast aside your own ally so soon and work together with your ally’s enemy?”

When he heard Happy’s sharp words, Wei Zhentian did not show any anger whatsoever. “Hehe, I’ve already mentioned that this is all a misunderstanding. It’s a decision made blindly by my good-for-nothing brother. If you find that your anger refuses to die down because of what they previously did, I can chase him out of my sect and refuse to let him step into the Chinese server.”

‘This Sect Master Wei sure is washing his hands clean from all this. Perhaps he is able to tell that Class One Hall has offended Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect, and they’re now at the heart of trouble. If they continue working together with Class One Hall, Dragon Sect will not be able to gain any sort of substantial development within a short period of time, perhaps even in a year or two, which is why they decided to switch their business partners.’

Happy laughed in his heart, but he did not expose Wei Zhentian.

“I’ve heard a long time ago that your Wandering Universal Eight Trigrams Souls Palm is a fusion of the essence of several martial arts, and I do want to witness it myself.”

Wei Zhentian’s eyes lit up. “Didn’t you say that you had to serve a few guests?”

Happy looked up indifferently. “They should be on their way here. I don’t mind it, but I worry that at that time, you will have a hard time offering an excuse when they come, Brother Zhentian.”

When he heard this, Wei Zhentian was first stunned before he forced himself to smile. “You must be joking, Brother Happy. I am not the one who contacted Class One Hall, and there is no need for me to make any sort of excuse for Dream Clouds.”

He said his words with a righteous and honorable air, and with his gentle appearance, even Happy nearly believed in his words.

But unfortunately for him, Wei Zhentian missed something.

Even though the Prophet had the ability to predict and break the concealment function from Universe Secrets Inkstone, he did not have a clear understanding of the item. This was an item that was not within the five elements, and aside from Wandering Know-it-all himself, no one truly understood its true profundity.

It was also because of this that when Wandering Know-it-all faced the Prophet’s challenge that he responded in time and counterattacked.

He handed over Dragon Sect and Dream Clouds’ deals to Happy, and he also provided support to Mu Clan during the most critical moment.

This was something that Happy admired a lot.

Wandering Know-it-all was different from the Prophet in the sense that he never placed himself in the spotlight intentionally. He was like a true talented hermit in the Chinese world of wanderers.

The Prophet might have the same ability and won himself an even wider market than Wandering Know-it-all when he decided to take action, but he had also placed himself in the spotlight at the moment he decided to make his posts.

In Wandering Know-it-all’s words, diviners defied the heavens, and they should try to keep a low profile. Hence, Wandering Know-it-all even gave up on training as well as everything in the world of martial artists.

As for the Prophet, when he got on the stage that was already bound to be very difficult to control, at the same time, he also placed himself in a complicated game in an attempt to fight for control over the world.

It was a very stupid move!

Happy naturally did not believe in Wei Zhentian’s words, but he did not show his emotions on his face. “Since you said this, then I will wait a little while.”

As he spoke, he brought out a pot of wine along with two cups from his Universe Bag with an elegant move.

“Hehe, I didn’t expect you to have such refined interests. I have long since heard that the wine in my homeland can easily cause people to get drunk, but I never had the chance to drink when I came to the Chinese server. I wonder if I can drink with you?”

“Of course.” Happy smiled arrogantly.

Before his voice faded away, Xu Xin had already taken a step forward and grabbed the pot of wine.

Her actions immediately caught Wei Zhentian’s attention. “Haha! Brother Happy, you are a lucky man.”

Happy 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 as the clan master of the strongest sect in the Chinese server. Besides, he will be full of openings when he poured wine, and it was a very unwise move to do so before a powerful enemy. Happy might be confident in himself, but he was aversed to Dragon Sect from the bottom of his heart.

Dragon Sect had helped Towering Palace a lot during the battle at Yangzhou, and right now, they were working together with Class One Hall and the Prophet. These were monstrous creatures, and they were not easy to deal with.

Once she poured the wine, Xu Xin moved to stand behind Happy with gentle movements.

Happy looked up. “Sect Master Wei, I wonder if you know when the wanderers during the ancient past in China drank?”

Wei Zhentian said nothing. He thought about this for a while before he shook his head. “I’m willing to hear about it.”

“They kill, and offer wine as a sacrifice.”

As he spoke, Wei Zhentian widened his eyes. Then, he saw that some people had appeared on the path where Happy took to come up here. They now stood behind Happy.
