Chapter 1225: Legacy of Zither Sect

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

“You personally gave this plate to me that day, but this item is very precious, and it is of significant value to your sect. I am not worthy of having it. This time, I brought my friend over in hopes that you would fulfill my request and take your gift back.”

When the sect master saw Happy going straight to the point and pushing forward the token of the grandmaster, his expression instantly turned serious. He sucked in a deep breath and cast a profound glance at Happy. Then, he cast a glance at Wind Chimes, who was beside Happy. He put on a troubled look.

“I understand what you’re trying to say, Young Swordsman Happy.”

“I hope that you can fulfill my request.”

“I do owe you a debt. Logically speaking, I can only do my best to fulfill your requests, and I should do what you asked of me…” The sect master’s words caused Happy and Wind Chimes to feel slightly relaxed. The unease they had because of the frown on the sect master’s face disappeared a little.

Happy originally did not want to bring out the plate so easily, but when he saw how easily the sect master had neutralized Wind Chimes’ offence, his determination that he must help Wind Chimes obtain the sect master’s peerless ultimate technique became stronger. That was why he brought out his trump card without hesitation.

“Sect Master, is there anything you’re wary about? Do you need to test my friend’s temperament?”

“Young Swordsman Happy, don’t misunderstand.”

The sect master waved his hand. “With your strength and temperament, I believe that your friend will be strong and have a great temperament as well. I am just worried that if my legacy goes to this girl, her master will definitely not be happy…”

‘I knew it!’

Happy and Wind Chimes had similar expressions appear on their faces.

The sect master looked as if he did not notice it. He continued saying, “He would definitely be quite famous if he managed to produce such an outstanding disciple, and he would be pretty strong as well. Perhaps this zither player came from my sect as well. That’s why I really can’t make the decision in this and ask you to have another person from Zither Sect become your master.”

The sect master slowly said the final sentence in a solemn tone. He said with a slightly apologetic expression.

Happy and Wind Chimes smiled bitterly at each other.

The sect master had already expressed his rejection very clearly.

Just when both of them thought that this was the end for this and had disappointment appear on them, the sect master had a cunning look flash in his eyes. He changed the topic of the conversation.

“I cannot give you my legacy, but regardless of whether your master is related to Zither Sect, since you have such outstanding achievements and comprehension in the path of the zither, I’m anxious to display muy skills. I have no qualms in explaining some of my techniques to you in the path of zither. I believe that even if your master knows about it, he will not reject it. I wonder if you’re willing to stay a few days in the grass lodge.”

“Of course!”

Wind Chimes instantly felt as if she rose from hell to heaven. She was so excited that she even forgot that she was talking to someone in the dao of heaven. She rose from the cushion, and her eyes were filled with happiness.

‘This damn old man, and here I was sad just a moment ago!’

But naturally, Happy did not dare to say these words out loud to the sect master, he could only criticize him in his heart, but he put on a happy smile and congratulated Wind Chimes.

“Thank you, Sect Master!

“Since the sect master is willing to give you a chance, you must work heart. Train well, and don’t let our hard work go to waste.”

Wind Chimes was so excited that her face turned red. She nearly started worshipping Happy like she would her master.

“If that’s the case, I won’t be staying here and trespassing on you. I’ll be leaving now.”

Happy stood up and was prepared to leave.

“One moment.”

At that moment, the sect master suddenly spoke, “This young lady is fated to learn from Zither Sect, and it’s only right for her to inherit my skills. As for the token of the grandmaster, please keep it. If there comes a time while I am still alive, I hope that I will have the chance to return my debt to you.”

Happy was slightly stunned.

As he held the token given to him by the sect master, he looked surprised.

He did not end up returning the token!

To Happy, this was naturally good news. This meant that he still had a trump card up his sleeves, and he could still obtain benefits from Zither Sect.

He thought about it, and Happy’s thoughts instantly started racing.

He cast a glance at the token in his hands, turned his head around slightly, and cast a glance at Xu Yao, who was still immersed in the excitement of having her qi increase by leaps and bounds.

Happy sucked in a deep breath, and his tone was strange. He spoke with a nervous and stiff voice, “Sect Master, will my friend have the chance of learning from Zither Sect?”

The sect master was stunned. Then, an item was placed in his hands.

When he lowered his head to look at it, he found that Happy had placed the token back into his hands once more. This time, the light in his eyes burned even brighter and hotter.

The sect master’s gaze focused.

In truth, when she stood with Wind Chimes, who possessed Nine Yin Blocked Pulses, Xu Yao was incredibly insignificant before the sect master’s eyes.

But once Happy mentioned it, the sect master immediately became serious.

This girl might have a normal constitution, but when compared to Wind Chimes, who had Nine Yin Blocked Pulses, Happy seemed to pay more attention to the normal girl.

The sect master had lived many years. There was no way he would not understand that Happy and Xu Yao shared a unique relationship.

The sect master did not remain idle. He immediately began sizing her up seriously.

After the misunderstanding two years ago, Xu Yao’s bearing had changed drastically. She had gained a calmness that no one else possessed. Or rather, it would be more accurate to say that she was almost callous. At the same time, hidden under that callousness was a patience and tenacity that no one else had. She was as aloof and lonesome as a snow-white lotus.

As for her Affinity…

Even though Xu Yao had missed out on many days of training, Happy had used everything in his power to provide her all sorts of supreme-grade martial art manuals. He even taught her personally, and she had been improving by leaps and bounds over this period of time. Her Affinity did not lose to a normal first-class player in the slightest.

“Not bad!”

The more the sect master observed her, the more satisfied he was. He nodded repeatedly.

The path of the zither was not something that everyone could practice. All practitioners required a cold, noble, aloof, lonesome, and unconventional presence.

Coincidentally, Xu Yao fit into those requirements.

Now, Happy asked for the sect master’s help using the token and by asking him to return his favor. Hence, the sect master took the token without hesitation and agreed to it.

“Since this is your request, I will agree to it. From now on, you will be my last disciple and my successor!”

After he said those words, Xu Yao was so shocked by this delightful but unexpected news that she was rooted to the spot. Even after a long time had passed, she still did not manage to regain her senses. It was clear that she could not understand it. Nine Yin Blocked Pulses was a physical constitution that could only be found one in a million, and even Wind Chimes had to go through a strict test for it. Even after that, she was denied the legacy. Yet Xu Yao, with her normal constitution, had been named the sect master’s successor.

Then, she heard a continuous stream of system notifications ringing in her ear.

Xu Yao, who was involved in this, could not believe it. But Happy and Wind Chimes both smiled.

Happy clenched his fists tightly and sent a private message to the sect master to thank him.

Wind Chimes walked over to Wind Chimes and congratulated her. “This is great! Big Sister, we can keep each other company and train in the grass lodge! I won’t feel bored or lonely now.”

Xu Yao still had not wrapped her head around the sudden surprise. She just stared curiously at the sect master, who was smiling at her kindly and happily. But she was still puzzled. Why did he agree to let her inherit his legacy?

Ever since Happy showed up and broke the Great Forbidden Daiya Technique in the desert, causing the Wild Wolves to fail in their task and were forced to leave the Chinese plains beforehand, Carlson and Evil Emperor became even warier of Happy. Over this period of time, Carlson never stopped monitoring Happy’s tracks.

But due to the influence of the human skin mask, it was only to this day that Carlson managed to truly find Happy, and he had only discovered by chance when he performed his routine check on Wind Chimes’ location.

The discovery that day caused Carlson to be delighted for an entire day.

While he remained in his house, he started cackling coldly under the shadows of his cloak. He never moved, and he did not even care about eating. His entire attention was on the crystal ball. He was worried that if he was the slightest bit careless, he would let these two big fishes slip from his hands.

But soon, Carlson discovered something that caused him great despair.

Even if Wind Chimes had finally gotten out of the city, did not wear a human skin mask, and did not have a guard beside her, with Happy alone in the area, no one could do anything to Wind Chimes.

Lovely Land’s headquarters was so huge that it took over a large expanse of the Chinese plains. Who could do anything while they were right under the scrutiny of Lovely Land? Who could do anything bad to Wind Chimes right under Happy’s nose.

Happy had now clearly obtained power that was equal to that of someone in the dao of heaven. He was also aided by Wind Chimes, who could fight against multiple top-class elites on her own. This group alone was already enough to make many of the players in the world stop and forget about attacking them. Even if he sent the news to Dream Clouds, Dream Clouds might also end up hesitating. After all, the current Chinese plains was not something Dream Clouds could easily influence.

Once he got rid of his thought to kill Wind Chimes, Carlson calmed down and started tracking down Happy and his group’s tracks, forgetting to rest. He followed them until they reached a small valley that did not have a city in sight within a circular area of thirty-one miles.

As he watched, cold sweat was quickly formed on Carlson’s forehead.

In the crystal ball, Wind Chimes used the Nine Golden Needle Transformative Acupressure Technique, and the qi she exuded as well as her might strength caused Carlson to be shocked, and he was already used to seeing many powerful players in action!

Even Happy had trouble completely dealing with Wind Chimes’ attacks. He parried them with great difficulty. If a normal person went up against her… they might end up dying in the blink of an eye.

Even though she could not use the Nine Golden Needle Transformative Acupressure Technique for a long period of time, Carlson could still tell just how terrifying Wind Chimes was after her strength had improved!

In the past, with just a few elite Wild Wolves, they could form an ambush that was targeted solely at Wind Chimes, but based on the current situation, even if they upped the number of people involved in the operation, they might not be able to succeed.

When he thought of this, Carlson’s emotions became even more complicated.

When he saw Wind Chimes staying in the grass lodge while Happy and his group were prepared to leave, Carlson’s heart let out a loud thump, and he knew that things were about to become bad.

Wind Chimes had become much stronger without his knowledge. If she received instructions from the sect master of Zither Sect, she would definitely become the third person from the Chinese plains who could pose as a threat to Evil Emperor, since the sect master was someone in the dao of heaven. At that time, these three peerless players would all gather in Lovely Land, and that would mean that the greatest force in the Chinese plains was all gathered in Lovely Land. With a swing of his arm, Happy could have multiple players respond to his call, and the Wild Wolves would not have the slightest chance to stage a comeback.

Even though Carlson knew that Evil Emperor had already sent people to gather in Persia so that he could perfect Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art and was prepared to send them all into the Turkic plains, once Wind Chimes rose to power and the trio worked together, even if Evil Emperor wanted to use the Great Forbidden Daiya Technique to crush and suppress the Chinese plains, he would not be able to do so.

“I’ll have to let the leader know about this as soon as possible.”

Right after he finished writing a paragraph, something happened in the crystal ball, and it attracted Carlson’s attention once more.

When Carlson saw a female player whose origins he did not know and who had a low qi realm kowtowing to the sect master, his solemn expression instantly turned really dark.

The person who would come to possess Heavenly Saber Song Que’s legacy was about to appear.

Right now, the legacy of Zither Sect’s sect master had also been taken by Happy’s people.

Things… were progressing in the direction the Wild Wolves absolutely did not want to see.
