Bai Guishou brought the group of them to a white-colored tent below the cliff. When they reached the entrance, he cupped his hands and said to Zhang Cuishan, “Miss Yin Susu is inside the tent. I still have to host the event so I will not accompany you in.” Then he turned to the tent and said, “Swordsman Zhang Five is here.” After that, he walked back to the wooden platform.

At this moment, they heard the gentle voice of a lady coming from within the tent. “You have come a long way. Please come into the tent for a chat.”

Zhang Cuishan reached his hand out and pulled aside the curtain. He led the way into the tent. The three players followed him.

A young lady in purple was sitting properly on the host’s seat. When she saw the four of them, her eyes got brighter. A smile crept onto her face unconsciously. It was a smile that refreshed anyone who saw it. She should be Miss Yin Susu who Bai Guishou was referring to.

As the only NPC in the team, Zhang Cuishan greeted the lady politely with cupped fists and said, “Nice to meet you. I’m Zhang Cuishan from Wudang. Actually, I came here today because there are a few things I would like to inquire about.”

Yin Susu smiled. “Swordsman Zhang Five, please go ahead and speak your mind. I promise that I will tell you everything I know.”

“Miss Yin!” Ye Weiming took over the main role and stepped forward. He stood behind the table in front of Miss Yin and took out a Seven Star Thorn and a Mosquito Feeler Needle. He placed them on the table and asked, “I wonder if you recognize these two concealed weapons?”

Yin Susu nodded lightly and answered directly, “These belong to me. Of course I recognize them.”

The other party replied so honestly, Ye Weiming felt a little speechless. He remained stunned for a moment before continuing, “Do you have anything to do with the massacre of the Dragon Gate Escort?”

Yin Susu answered calmly, “Du Dajin from the Dragon Gate Escort didn’t fulfil his mission and caused Swordsman Yu Three to be crippled. Don’t they deserve to die? Moreover, when I requested for the job, I told them that if something happened to Swordsman Yu Three, I will destroy their entire escort agency.”

“As a human, we need to be true to our words, right?”

Ding! You’ve already found the truth behind the massacre of the Dragon Gate Escort. You’ve completed the mission ‘Dragon Gate Escort’. Please return to the Divine Constable Bureau and find You Jin to collect your mission rewards.

The mission is completed just like this?

Ye Weiming couldn’t believe his ears.

As a murderer, you’re admitting to your crimes a little too easily.

The moment I asked, you admitted. Does that mean that all the interesting inferences, which includes the testimonies of witnesses, pieces of evidence, and the comparisons of the testimonies I prepared were all just a waste of time?

Ye Weiming felt a little unwilling. He continued asking, “Then Swordsman Yu Three from Wudang…”

Before Ye Weiming could finish speaking, Yin Susu interrupted him directly, “You didn’t take any missions that have direct links to Swordsman Yu Three. Why is this any of your business?”

Ye Weiming: …

You make so much sense that I actually have nothing to say.

He turned and looked at Yin Bukui and Xuan Small Pen. At the same time, he sent a message in the team channel: You guys can go ahead! If you have anything you don’t understand, I will give you ideas.

Since they formed a team to do this mission, they needed to help each other. Plus, Yin Bukui gave him many pieces of insider news so he couldn’t leave just because he finished his mission, right?

That would be too unloyal!

If you act like this, you won’t have any friends!

Also, in order to confront the murderer, he spent much effort and time preparing evidence. This evidence would go to waste if he didn’t use them. In that case, why don’t he use it to repay them?

You help me once and I will help you once. Relationships between adults came about like this.

However, Yin Susu seemed fixed that she wouldn’t give Ye Weiming the chance to show off his skills. Before the two Wudang players could open their mouths, she already started speaking, “It is a long story. I would like the three swordsmen to go out and take a walk. You can admire the scenery of Mount Wangpan. As for Swordsman Yu Three, I will explain to Swordsman Zhang Five alone.”

Yin Susu put up the stance that she wasn’t going to say anything if they didn’t leave. Thus, Ye Weiming and the other two people could only turn and leave the tent obediently.

After walking out for a certain distance, Ye Weiming noticed that Yin Bukui and Xuan Small Pen seemed very calm. He couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you worried that someone would sneak an attack on Zhang Cuishan after you leave him alone in the tent?”

“No.” Yin Bukui didn’t bother explaining. He directly sent Ye Weiming a screenshot.

You’ve already helped Zhang Cuishan to find the truth behind Yu Daiyan’s injury. You’ve completed your clan mission ‘Seeking the Truth’. Please return to Mount Wudang to collect your mission rewards!

Their mission was also already completed?

Ye Weiming was puzzled. “That means that your mission is just to let Zhang Cuishan understand the truth. Whether you know it or not doesn’t matter.”

“The truth of the matter isn’t important now. The only thing I can confirm is…” As he was speaking, Yin Bukui looked towards the tent Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu were in. His smile became vulgar. “The man who picks his toes will be online soon.”

“Ha! Ha! Ha!…”

Suddenly, a wave of crazy laughter enveloped the entire Mount Wangpan. The vibration caused the trees to sway slowly and the birds to fly off in fright!

After which, they saw a bulky man with golden hair jumping onto the wooden platform. Within a few moves, he managed to defeat the two guards that were guarding the Dragon Slaying Sabre. By the time the four of them rushed over, this person was already holding the Dragon Slaying Sabre in his hand. “The Dragon Slaying Sabre is in my hands now! I, Xie Xun, will give all of you a chance to live. As long as someone is able to gain an advantage over me in a fight, he can leave this place alive. You can use weapons or just your fist. The rest will all have to die!”

Ding! You’ve triggered the hidden mission ‘Challenge Xie Xun’.

Winner lives and losers die!

As expected, in a martial arts game, kung fu was the ultimate solution to solving a problem.

Ye Weiming prepared many ways to solve the case but Yin Susu confessed everything. It caused all his preparations to go to waste. Before this, he was still wondering why the last segment was so simple. Now, he finally understood that this was what was waiting for them!

They had already received the notification that they completed their mission but they still needed to hand over their mission. Before the handover was completed, their mission was still ongoing.

In other words, if they were killed by Xie Xun, they would fail their mission.

All the efforts they put in before this would go to waste!

Ye Weiming’s gaze landed on Xie Xun. However, all the information he got was…

Xie Xun

Known to the pugilistic world as Golden Lion. His abilities are unfathomable.

Level: ???

Health: ???/???

Internal energy: ???/???

Kung fu: ???

Ye Weiming felt frustrated when he saw all the question marks in front of him.

He turned his head helplessly and asked Yin Bukui, “Is this the man who picks his toes you were referring to?”

Yin Bukui was flabbergasted as he looked at Xie Xun, who was holding the Dragon Slaying Sabre and standing on the wooden platform. Although he knew how the storyline would progress, he didn’t expect the mission of challenging Xie Xun to fall on all the players who were present.

He swallowed his saliva and explained weakly, “The man who picks his toes I’m referring to is different from the one you’re looking at!”
