“Why don’t they drop any items?”

“Damn it, we can only gather points! They don’t drop items!”

“This is a point accumulation quest?”

Many players in the surging crowd noticed that even if they killed Ming Cult disciples, they only received notifications from the system telling them that they had killed the disciples and how many points they gathered. No matter how hard they looked, they were unable to find on Ming Cult disciples’ corpses.

“Look at Happy. He doesn’t search through the corpses at all. He definitely knows something.”

Some observant people noticed that Happy’s kill count was very high, but he never bent his back to search for the loot from the corpses on the ground. He passed them by, focusing solely on accumulating points. He did not investigate the corpses at all. It seemed like he knew from the start that the Ming Cult disciples would not drop any loot.

“But those guys are also from Emei Sect, and they’re checking the corpses…” There were also people from the crowd who took note of Ancient Wind and the others’ actions.

“Maybe Happy doesn’t care for the loot from those nobodies in Life and Death Realm.”

“Yeah, it’s possible.”

“Ahem…”

When Ancient Wind and the others heard the discussions that were not soft, they felt slightly awkward. They were also elites, but they did not realize that such a small detail would make them look like low-class people.

However, they were filled with admiration toward Happy!

Regardless of the rumors from before or the provocation from Blood Robes a bit earlier, no one could match the might of the top-ranked player on the Famous People Rank. No one in the world seemed to be able to catch Happy’s attention and make him wary of them, regardless of whether they were Class One Hall or the teachers from the six great system-allocated sects.

Happy led the people in a charge against the Ming Cult disciples. He displayed confidence that the players behind him did not have. His Golden Armor Set made him look like a general charging in a battlefield. There were at least one hundred mooks who died in his hands.

His attention was never diverted while he was on the way, and when the battle ended, he did not bend his back to check for loot. His calm demeanor caused him to display the presence of an elite martial artist.

“Not bad.” Mistress Annihilation had never attacked. She watched Happy as he walked back with an admiring glance and nodded slowly. “As expected of a top disciple from the Murong Clan. Your sword technique is indeed extraordinary.”

The disciples from Emei Sect were also people. When they killed, they naturally paid attention to Happy’s graceful movements and extraordinary skills when he charged into the enemy’s ranks and fought against them.

“Mistress, you praise me too much.” Happy wrapped his fist in his palm with incredible calm before walking back next to Zhou Zhiruo.

Her gaze was no longer cold. For the first time ever, she stared Happy in the eye for a few seconds, allowing him to see her ethereal and beautiful face. It looked like she had acknowledged his position among the Emei Sect disciples, because when he fought, he had extended a helping hand to the Emei Sect disciples.

Ding Minjun swept her gaze over Happy with sparkling eyes. Then, with envy and admiration, she smiled and said, “Senior Brother Happy, our mistress mentioned that the person with the best performance among those who follow us when we attack Light Summit will obtain a reward. You come from a famous clan, and your skills are good. If you manage to perform meritorious deeds during this battle, I will ask our mistress to hand our junior sister, Zhou Zhiruo’s hand to you in marriage. What do you think? Hehe…”

“Senior sister.” Zhou Zhiruo called out to her weakly and gently. Her cheeks flushed slightly red, which made her look very innocent.

Ding Minjun cast her a cold glance. She used her status as the eldest senior sister to snort and say, “Junior sister, I’m doing this for your own good. I’m trying to look for a good husband for you, or do you think that Swordsman Happy isn’t worthy of your hand?”

Happy’s mind nearly went blank.

‘What’s going on?’

He cast a glance at Zhou Zhiruo, and he was just in time to see her frown. She seemed angry, but did not dare say anything.

“That is not what I meant.”

“Then we will have our mistress decide on this matter,” Ding Minjun said without hesitation. She sounded so opinionated that she had not just caused the atmosphere in Emei Sect to become strange, she had even made some of the players who had stayed in the area in hopes of getting inside information to become dumbfounded.

‘She wants to give Zhou Zhiruo’s hand in marriage to Happy?’

‘Are you kidding me?!’

Everyone knew that Zhou Zhiruo had lingering affection for Zhang Wuji, who was someone she met when she was young. At the same time, Song Qingshu was madly in love with her. After the battle, Song Qingshu would plead for his father, Song Yuanqiao, to ask for Zhou Zhiruo’s hand in marriage from Emei Sect’s Mistress Annihilation. In the end, he would even betray the entire martial artist community for Zhou Zhiruo.

If Ding Minjun’s words were a key for a quest, then that quest was definitely a very troublesome one.

Forget about the fact that it would be difficult to handle the young hero Song Qingjun, they would also have to handle Zhang Wuji, who was a top-class martial artist with Nine Yang Divine Skill as well as Heaven and Earth Great Shift.

Countless people discussed it while looking at Happy, who was frowning.

Mistress Annihilation spoke at that moment with a rarely seen gentle look on her face. It was focused on Zhou Zhiruo. “Minjun’s suggestion is pretty good. I’ve watched Zhiruo grow up. She is smart, obedient, and a filial girl.

“Swordsman Happy, you come from a famous clan, and you have extraordinary skills. You also support the righteous faction in the world of martial artists with all your strength. You two are a good match. But Great Swordsman Song’s son, Qingshu, has also been taking care of Zhiruo. So, I shan’t interfere too much with this.”

She paused for a moment before she added, “However, Swordsman Happy, if you can charge into Light Summit with us and display outstanding abilities during our fight to vanquish this evil cult, I will consider the matter with Zhiruo.”

Once she said those words, Zhou Zhiruo knew that her fate had pretty much been set. She frowned and lowered her head. She could not even fight back.

However, Mistress Annihilation’s words caused the crowd to burst into a commotion.

Happy was completely speechless. He did not expect that Mistress Annihilation would use such a method to unite the people.

Countless players nearby also stared at Happy with envy, jealousy, and all sorts of complicated emotions. They did not expect that Zhou Zhiruo, who was such an important character, would form a connection with him just because of Happy’s dazzling performance. He had even strangely gained Mistress Annihilation’s favor and made her promise to hand Zhou Zhiruo’s hand in marriage to him.

But when they thought deeper into the matter, they calmed down.

It was impossible for them to charge up Light Summit. Due to Zhang Wuji’s appearance, the six great system-allocated sects would not be able to destroy Ming Cult in the end. Besides, Zhou Zhiruo would injure Zhang Wuji with a stab, which would cause her to fall completely into the vortex of love, so much so that she could not extract herself from it. Hence, Mistress Annihilation’s verbal promise was basically the same as none.

The group moved again!

While they moved forward, Ancient Wind and the group of elites approached Happy.

They came to understand his temperament during their conversations, and they found that as long as they did not target him, he was actually very cordial. Hence, they were not reserved around him. Ancient Wind even grinned evilly and nudged Happy’s shoulder from behind him.

“Hehe, not bad. You actually managed to seduce Great Beauty Zhou. Zhou Zhiruo’s eyes sparkle when she’s looking at you now. What’re your thoughts about it?

“It’s Great Beauty Zhou, you know? Tsk tsk. She’s the most beautiful woman in the world of martial artists. If I were in your place, I’d rush up Light Summit even if my bones were crushed just to see whether there will be any progress in my relationship with Zhou Zhiruo.

“Whew, if our relationship really progressed and I could make it into a battle replay, it would definitely surpass that battle of yours at Common Reed Bank. Happy, how about this? If you say yes, we will definitely fight with our lives for you to get that opportunity.”

When Momo heard the boys’ vulgar conversation, she rolled her eyes. She decided to just turn her face away so that she could treat them as if they did not exist.

“Sure, as long as you help me kill Zhang Wuji. I’ll handle Song Qingshu myself. Once we’re done, I’ll give you 90% of the profit I get from that battle replay. How’s that sound?” Happy’s sentence caused Ancient Wind and the others to flee straight away.

Only Momo continued to look at Happy’s side profile while thinking about something.
