Dominating the Pugilistic World With My Detective Skills - Chapter 47

Chapter 47: Soymilk Little White’s Ability

Ye Weiming was determined to kill his opponent. However, he just couldn’t hit his opponent. Ye Weiming didn’t have a complete advantage over his opponent, but he got a hold of the initiative for this battle.

If he wanted to fight, he could fight. If he didn’t, he could drag the battle. The other party had to follow his tempo. There was nothing else he could do.

Just when it seemed an internecine outcome was inevitable, a shout came from the forest. “Stop! We’re on the same side. Don’t harm each other.”

The fight was in a heated state so it wouldn’t stop just because of someone’s shouts.

However, the moment that shout entered their ears, a white figure rushed between the two of them. The person was holding a slightly yellowish towel in his right hand. He waved the sword at Ye Weiming’s Green Bamboo Sword. With the help of his internal energy, the soft towel seemed to have turned into a soft whip. It slashed at the blade of the Green Bamboo Sword.

“Clang!” The collision between the sword and the towel gave off a high-pitched sound.

Ye Weiming felt a certain weight on his heart and took three huge steps back uncontrollably.

At the same time, the newcomer’s left sleeve was puffed up due to his internal energy. As he waved his arm, the ten concealed weapons got thrown back into the air.

After they landed, the three people stabilized themselves and stood on each side. Ye Weiming finally started observing the faces of the other two people. The person who interfered with his fight and prevented the internecine outcome was none other than Ye Weiming’s target, Soymilk Little White!

He didn’t expect this ordinary-looking soymilk seller to possess such a powerful ability.

As for that fellow who ambushed him, he should be a disciple from the Tang Clan. The only difference from Youyou was that this was a male.

Of course, gender wasn’t the main point. The main thing was, this person had a tidy appearance. He had an entire set of clan uniforms on. He looked quite similar to the NPCs who came to look for disciples at the novice village.

It wasn’t easy to gather clan contribution points. It had been more than ten days since he last met Youyou, but for a non-constable player to be able to gather the full set of his clan’s uniform, he must be a master in the game.

Who is this?

The three of them sized up one another for some time. As the middleman, Soymilk Little White opened his mouth first and broke the silence, “Brother Ye Weiming, it has been half a month since we parted at Dukang Village. Were you following me just now because you wanted to catch up with me?”

“Haha, Brother Little White, your guess is right!” After witnessing Soymilk Little White’s amazing ability, Ye Weiming shamelessly lifted his thumb and gave Soymilk Little White a thumbs up. Then he changed the topic and brought the disciple from the Tang Clan into the conversation. “Brother Little White, your life seems to be getting better. You have a bodyguard when you’re delivering soymilk.”

If Soymilk Little White wanted to explain, he must tell Ye Weiming the background of this disciple from Tang Clan.

Hmph, this was Ye Weiming’s motive.

You know who I am but I don’t know who you are.

That’s unfair!

When he saw Ye Weiming bringing him up, the disciple from the Tang Clan gave a knowing smile. He said immediately, “My name is Tang Sancai. I’m protecting Brother Little White because I have a mission. Brother Ye, if you don’t have a mission, please stop following us. Your actions are putting me in a dilemma.”

“Oh?” Ye Weiming raised his eyebrows. “Why are you in a dilemma?”

Tang Sancai shrugged. “Because I can’t beat you.”

He was conceding a large amount when he said this.

From their duel, he knew that if Ye Weiming decided to fight with him till the end, he would have to pay a huge price for a chance to win the fight. This might even be a long seesawing battle.

In this situation, as one of the top players from the Tang Clan, Tang Sancai lowered his head and gave Ye Weiming the platform to step down with his pride intact. If Ye Weiming didn’t want to be irritating and to continue pestering Tang Sancai, this would be a good chance for him to leave.

From this simple sentence, one could tell that Tang Sancai was a sensible person although he was already quite famous. Or, this mission might be very important to him, more important than his dignity.

Actually, after seeing how powerful Soymilk Little White was, Ye Weiming immediately decided to give up the thought of inspecting the health standard of his food. Since Tang Sancai was so sensible, Ye Weiming decided to let things go. Unexpectedly, the middleman Soymilk Little White suddenly opened his mouth and suggested, “Brother Ye Weiming, your skills have improved tremendously compared to the past. It’s fate that we meet today. Why don’t you join our mission?”

Without waiting for Ye Weiming’s reply, a familiar voice rang in Ye Weiming’s head.

Ding! You’ve triggered the hidden mission ‘Protect Little White’. Do you want to accept it?

Yes/No

Protect Little White

Mission level: Five-star

Based on the clues Tang Sancai gathered, someone had set a trap, attempting to ambush the honest Soymilk Little White. As a constable from the Divine Constable Bureau, you should protect the safety of a taxpayer.

Mission reward: 10000 EXP, 1000 Cultivation, Chance to increase one of your kung fu by one level!

The rewards for this mission were amazing!

The amount of experience and cultivation points were adequate. Based on Ye Weiming’s current level of kung fu, 1000 points of cultivation weren’t a big deal.

However, the chance to increase one of his kung fu by one level was too good to pass up. No matter which kung fu he chose, this was equivalent to a few thousand points of cultivation!

Ye Weiming was excited as he accepted the mission. Then he shrugged and smiled at Tang Sancai as he said, “Now we are on the same boat, shouldn’t you tell me more about this mission?”

Tang Sancai’s expression was extremely interesting.

He completed many preceding tasks before he triggered this hidden mission. But this Ye Weiming managed to share his mission so easily. He didn’t even need to gain the approval of the person who first triggered the mission—him.

How could he not feel frustrated?

He wasn’t worried about rewards! He just felt that it wasn’t fair!

He knew that Ye Weiming’s participation wouldn’t decrease his rewards. Even without considering that, he would welcome another martial arts master helping him to smoothen the process. Even then, Tang Sancai still felt uncomfortable.

Nevertheless, he was able to let it go after feeling frustrated for some time. After all, he was someone who managed to be a top player of the game. He immediately welcomed Ye Weiming insincerely. By this time, Little White had already taken his pole back. Ah Huang, who was hidden by Ye Weiming earlier, followed behind them obediently too.

The group of them continued walking towards Dukang Village. Tang Sancai started introducing the mission to Ye Weiming, “I went through a few preceding tasks, and found out that someone wanted to ambush Brother Little White. Supposedly, it is one of his past enemies. This person knows that Brother Little White is selling soymilk in Luoyang City so he came up with an evil plan to lure him out of the city before ambushing him.”

“Councillor Zhao from Peony Village just got a grandson in his household so he wanted to organize a banquet to celebrate this occasion. I’m not sure what method the other party used but he managed to get Councillor Zhao to specially appoint Brother Little White to send him soymilk. When I found Brother Little White, he had already accepted the down payment. Now, he has to go even if he doesn’t want to…”

Ye Weiming nodded slightly when he heard this. “Simply speaking, Councillor Zhao is very wealthy and recently got a grandson… wait!”

Halfway through his sentence, Ye Weiming’s expression suddenly turned serious. He said in a low voice, “There are obvious signs that the road in front of us has been tampered with. The tree branches on the side of the road are bent unnaturally. If you observe carefully, you will notice the strings between the leaves. Three inches above the ground, there is a steel wire.”

“Brother Sancai, I’m afraid the trap you mentioned is right in front of us!”
