Chapter 792: Chapter 792 – Search for Lu Xiaofeng
Chapter 792: Search for Lu Xiaofeng
Wandering Know-it-all sent away his group of curious disciples . Then, he looked up and smiled while he asked, “Happy, you came over to Beijing this time in such a flashy manner and even publicly told those from Class One Hall to search for you at my mansion . Your main goal isn’t to cause me trouble, right?”
Once he learned of Happy’s thoughts, Wandering Know-it-all was not at all worried about Happy provoking Class One Hall . After all, he had a clear grasp of Mu Clan’s strength . It was once one of the four top-class sects, but now, Mu Clan’s strength had gradually surpassed Class One Hall, and it was now the best sect in the Chinese server . Even if Happy died eight or ten times in Beijing, it will not cause substantial effect to Mu Clan . The one who will suffer a misfortune at the end of the day from this will only be Class One Hall .
Happy could hide all that he did in Sky Demon Secret Cave from everyone else, but he could not hide from Wandering Know-it-all and his Universe Secrets Inkstone . Jinjiu and Yinshi, the two Myth Realm elites from the mighty northern clan, might already have their corpses turn cold, but they were still more powerful than one Nine-tailed Fox .
When he noticed the questioning look in Wandering Know-it-all’s eyes, Happy smiled faintly, and he did not hide his intentions . “This time, I came over here because I want you to help me figure out a person’s whereabouts, aside from drinking with you, that is . ”
“A reading?” Wandering Know-it-all frowned slightly . “Whose information do you want to know? You could have just gone to my disciple for that . Wind Chimes might have suffered a slight misfortune this time and many of her martial arts are now gone, but the girl still has her abilities in divination remain in her . ”
“Wind Chimes should be focusing on training with all her heart and soul right now, and I don’t want to bother her . Besides, you’re free, and you’re her master . You shouldn’t be thinking about letting your disciples do everything, right?”
“You… you just don’t know how good I am to you . ” Wandering Know-it-all brought out his eight trigrams chart in resignation . “Do you have any idea just how many people come to me to have their fortunes told? It took me a lot of effort to reject all of them so that I can spend time with you, and you say I’m free… Oh well . Next time, when you come to Beijing, I’ll just refuse to see you so that I can spare myself from all this vexation . ”

Happy just giggled .
What Wandering Know-it-all said was true .
As a person’s qi realm increased, the diviners in the market could no longer figure out the whereabouts of those who were at Inaction Realm or those whose qi realms were higher, and there was an increasing number of ways to avoid being found .
The fights between sects caused Wandering Know-it-all and his Universe Secrets Inkstone to be a god among many sects, and they will pay tribute to him once they had something they wanted to know .
Right now, there were people who posted Wandering Know-it-all’s prices when he performed his divinations .
The lowest price was two million taels of silver, and that was the starting price . If he had to perform a reading on some of the more famous players, it was impossible for him to do a reading without being paid tens of millions of silver .
Wandering Know-it-all did not only treat Happy for free when he met him this time, he had also rejected a lot of business deals . The reason behind this was because he was showing respect to the strongest player in the game as well as the strongest sect in the game, and because Mu Clan was taking care of his disciple Wind Chimes .
“Tell me, who is going to be struck by misfortune this time?” Wandering Know-it-all was not at all as quiet and lofty as the outside world said him to be .
Happy smiled wanly and said, “No one’s going to be unlucky . Help me find where Lu Xiaofeng is . I’m recently going through a quest, and I have to find him before I can clear it . ”
“Lu Xiaofeng?” Wandering Know-it-all was slightly stunned . Then, he nodded in understanding . “You had to first look for Ximen Chuixue, then Lu Xiaofeng . Hmm… it’s a little interesting . ”
As he spoke, he did not ask what quest Happy was carrying out in detail . He just arranged the chart that brought him food on his table and the other items that looked like kitchenware, but were really divination tools .
Happy did not look . He just poured wine into his own cup . After all, he will not understand it even if he looked . Even after playing the game for so many years, he never had time to come into contact with I Ching, the Chinese divination text .
“Strange…” Wandering Know-it-all fiddled with the eight trigrams chart for a while before a crease was slowly formed between his eyebrows . He had a solemn expression appear on his face and looked toward Happy . “What quest are you doing? I can’t find Lu Xiaofeng’s location even with Universe Secrets Inkstone . This sort of situation is rare . ”

“…You can’t find him?” Happy stopped bringing the wine cup to his lips . “You can’t find even a single bit of information about him?”
“It won’t reveal universe secrets to me . ”
“Then forget it . I’ll go search online when I need to . ” Happy was not affected by this problem . After all, the NPCs involved this time were all Myth Realm martial artists [1] . It was not strange for this sort of situation to appear .
Besides, Lu Xiaofeng was a busy person . It was actually very easy to find him, and there was no need for him to actually rely on divination to find him .
Also, the quests at the borders were right around the corner . Even if he did manage to find Lu Xiaofeng now, he might not be able to go over to wherever he was within a short period of time . At that time, he might need to get a reading on him again . So, to Happy, searching for Lu Xiaofeng now was not the most urgent thing he had to do .
“You don’t mind?” Wandering Know-it-all saw Happy’s reaction, but he soon understood why he reacted this way . “The quests at the borders affects all of the Chinese world of martial artists . You’ll definitely have to go . That’s good too . ”
Wandering Know-it-all began putting away his eight trigrams chart .
“Hang on, since you’re already working, why don’t you help me find out a few more people?”
“You… You sure don’t hold back in front of friends . ”
Wandering Know-it-all asked for the names from Happy with a look of resignation .
“Teacher . ” A cold glare shone in Happy’s eyes .
When he heard the name Happy mentioned, Wandering Know-it-all’s gaze also changed, and the gentle middle-aged man’s temperament changed slightly . “I thought it’d be enough for you to kill them only once . ”
At that time, Wind Chimes was killed by those Americans from Dragon Sect . Without that group of people from Dragon Sect, those from Towering Palace and Class One Hall would not have dared to do anything to Wind Chimes .
“…That’s impossible . ” Happy took a sip of wine and said, “If I don’t get rid of this person completely, I won’t feel at ease . In the next month, if I don’t chase out this wild beast from America out of the Chinese server, I’ll feel uneasy . ”
“Okay . ” Wandering Know-it-all understood what he meant .
Even though during all branches and sects will not be attacked or affected by any attacks during the Emperor’s Announcement event, if this group of American elites were intent to fight against Mu Clan, without Happy, Silver Wolf, and the other elites serving as garrisons in their headquarters and branches, Mu Clan will be in grave danger .
It will also be very difficult for them to protect those resource points .
“They’re currently still in the Chinese server, and during this period of time, they’ve been under Class One Hall’s protection . They’re hidden in one of the fixed training spots for Class One Hall . ” While Wandering Know-it-all said this, he asked Happy, “The question is, how do you intend to deal with this group of people?”
“I won’t let even a single one remain . ” A determined, cold glare shone in Happy’s eyes . “Didn’t Dream Clouds give them a batch of Illusion Life and Death Pills?
“That’s perfect . I’d like to see just how many Illusion Life and Death Pills she can provide . ”
“If Dream Clouds comes over here at that time, what do you intend to do?”
“Let her wait . ” Happy smiled mysteriously . “There should be one of Dream Clouds’ spies among your disciples . If he bears witness that I am still in your mansion, I will have basically not fail in this operation . ”
He stopped talking for a moment before he suddenly asked . “So… have you finished constructing your underground tunnel?”
“Obviously . ” Wandering Know-it-all put away his eight trigrams chart and led Happy into the house .
Wandering Know-it-all’s group of disciples then received orders from their master saying that Wandering Know-it-all had something to talk to Happy in private, and no one was to approach them .
Dream Clouds soon received this news in another mansion in Beijing . Then, she replied .
[Figure out a way to find out just who Happy brought in his trip to Beijing . ]
