Sword Among Us chapter 944 - a troubled night | English Novels Online

After fighting for half an hour, Happy still had not received a reply from Chen Kaixin. It seemed like the training this time caused him quite a lot of shock, and he just kept quiet without answering.

Happy only treated it as a sign that he was in great shock. When he thought about how short of time he was, he only comforted Chen Kaixin a little before he began making arrangements for proper matters.

He immediately quickly released messenger pigeons to the two people he needed to contact today. He gave an answer to Wandering Know-it-all and had him locate the few people from Wild Wolves and also contacted Silver Wolf to have him deal with the matter regarding Wild Wolves. Of course, Happy did not forget to tell him to kill them as soon as possible.

At this moment, it would be for the best if he destroyed all of Wild Wolves’ limbs and delivered several shocking blows to them.

All members in Wild Wolves were top-class elites, but they were few in number. If they lost a few people, the core of the organization will be injured badly, and even if Evil Emperor came to the Chinese server himself, he will only meet his death here.

Silver Wolf was very pleased with this mission. [Got it. In three days, I’ll make sure that I kill all of them.]

*****

‘I have the location for all ten Sky Demon Slips now. The eight sects in the evil cult have one. One is in Kind Boathouse, and the other is in Prince of Qin, Li Shimin’s hands, and it’s located in Heaven’s Scheme Mansion. Once Silver Wolf’s people are successful, Evil Emperor will not dare to enter the Chinese server so readily, and this means that the speed for him getting Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art will be delayed. We’ll be safe in this world for the time being.’ While Happy thought about this, he wrote a letter to Wei Zhentian.

Wei Zhentian sent him a letter yesterday requesting for help, stating that the American server faced too many threats from Wild Wolves. In the past two months, many sects were pummeled so badly by Wild Wolves that they were now fearful of them, and they had already lost their will to fight. These sects chose to compromise to them, and only Dragon Sect continued to persevere by relying on their powerful base of strength.

But no matter what, Wild Wolves had a lot of top-class elites, and rumor had it that they had the Prophet serving as their shield. Hence, Wei Zhentian was in a great predicament.

While Happy could not head to America to provide any support, he could do something in Asia.

He sent a messenger pigeon to Wei Zhentian telling him that Mu Clan will attack Wild Wolves at full force, and he also sent him the list of names for Wild Wolves members, which he obtained from the other world.

Happy believed that with Wei Zhentian and Dragon Sect’s strength, it will not be too difficult for him to take care of Wild Wolves.

And just as he expected, Wei Zhentian replied to him very soon, and his words were written in flourish handwriting, making him appear to be incredibly excited.

[Thanks, Brother Happy! The current thing troubling me the most is that I can’t be certain of who is among Wild Wolves. If these people are all in Wild Wolves, then I’ll make all these bastards die in America!]

While the Prophet had great investigative abilities, he did not have the ability to hide people.

Wei Zhentian found a random diviner and located these people, and he used his great strength as well the great foundation in his sect to easily kill Wild Wolves.

Once the Chinese server and the American server, the two greatest servers, became stable, not only did Wild Wolves suffer a great blow to their core, they can also only develop at other smaller countries. If Wild Wolves wanted to gain greater power within a shorter period of time, that will basically be a pipe dream.

[You don’t have to thank me. If you have time, give Wild Wolves a little more pressure. Do the same to the Prophet as well, will you? That person is too ambitious. We can’t just ignore him.]

[Heh. That’s what I intend to do as well.] Wei Zhentian’s answer was filled with cold killing intent.

*****

Wild Wolves was Happy’s greatest worry in World of Martial Arts. Right now, when he made the perfect plan to suppress them, Happy felt completely relieved now.

‘Hey, you still don’t intend to talk?

‘I’ve already found the way for you to train Tendon Changing Classic. You just need to switch to low-grade equipment. As for your sword technique, use Nine Yang Divine Skill to train for a while, and once you’re familiar with the circulation of true qi, you should have no problem with it. I’ll be leaving now.’

No reply.

‘I’m really leaving!’

He called out to Chen Kaixin a few times in his mind, but the other voice in his head did not reply to him.

It was as if there was an empty spot in his heart, and Happy found himself a little ill at ease.

He could not help but frown and say, ‘Did he run into trouble in the real world? I’ll log off!’

Happy took off his helmet in the bedroom, lifted his blanket, and got down the bed.

What he saw in the room was different from the room in the hospital in the other hospital. When he returned to this room, all that belonged here caused Happy to feel incredibly sentimental.

Night was the time where it was the easiest for a person to feel melancholic.

Happy stared at the moonlight shining through the window and heaved a long sigh. He cannot help but think about Xu Xin, who was only one wall away from him.

The girl who was originally supposed to have no possibility whatsoever to have any sort of relationship with him had come to his side because of an unexpected night plagued with a thunderstorm.

She left the original track she was supposed to take and appeared beside him.

At this moment, he returned to the other side, but that meant that he was casting aside and giving up on all the emotions Xu Xin placed on him. That feeling weighed heavily on his heart, and it crushed him so heavily that he felt as if he cannot breathe.

‘What should I do?’ Happy chuckled wanly, and he instinctively groped about for the cup on his computer desk. The gloominess in his heart made him feel thirsty, as if his throat was parched.

‘How long has it been since this person went out to drink…?’

The cup was empty.

Creak.

He pushed aside the chair and picked up the cup. With a heavy heart, he opened the door and arrived at the living room. He poured himself a cup of water, opened the floor-to-ceiling window to go to the balcony.

The apartment was still filled with the warmth and fragrance that he was deeply attached to.

This was the scent of home.

His memories over the past one and a half years as well as the emotions he experienced all happened in this apartment, and the apartment bore witness to all of it.

He could not help but sigh. Happy sat down on the bamboo chair placed on the balcony under the cold moonlight. The white bamboo chair gave off an inexplicable feeling under the moonlight, tempting all those who saw it to sit down on it. Xu Xin should be the one who added it to the apartment.

He began to let his mind wander in silence.

When he faced Xu Yao on the other side, Happy felt his heart ache for her, and his mind was filled with everything that transpired over there.

When he was in the game, he always forced himself to seize every second he had to chase after the other players, and he had to do so regardless of the cost he had to pay!

When he was in the game in this world, he had to face Chen Kaixin, who forced him to feel troubled and who was a person he had suppressed for one and a half years.

Right now, Chen Kaixin did not say anything and did not appear, but because of it, it allowed him to gain a rare chance to catch his breath.

It was as if a fish that had been submerged in water for a long time finally had a chance to come to the surface of the water to breathe.

He gave off the relaxed and carefree feeling of someone who just smelled freedom, but it was also mixed with an unguardedness of someone who fled to a place with no one around.

In any case, Happy’s current mood was incredibly complicated.

He hoped that Chen Kaixin can speak up and tell him what was going on, but he was also worried that if he appeared, it would be because he had something to tell Happy.

Happy kept quiet.

Under the cooling breeze at night, Happy thought about many things, and it was all about the things that transpired in this world.

He had plenty of memories over here with his friends.

Happy released a lot of sighs that made him feel as if breathing was a chore.

He did not know how long he sat in this place, but suddenly, a chill filled his heart.

“Achoo!”

Happy’s mind became much clearer. He sighed yet again in anguish, and he knew that if he continued brooding like this, he might end up harming Chen Kaixin’s body, so he quickly got up and returned to the apartment.

At the moment he got up and turned around, he was instantly rooted to the spot.

A figure stood daintily in the living hall, and she seemed to have been standing there for a long time.

Her bright eyes were fixed on the person on the balcony with puzzlement shining in her eyes.

It was Xu Yao.

“Why… aren’t you sleeping yet? It’s already very late.”

Originally, based on their relationship over at that side, Happy should have demanded to know why she was doing over there with a rather hostile tone, because it would be more appropriate for him to do that, but when he thought about the misunderstanding in the other world, Happy’s mindset changed, and it had already changed since a long time ago. He could not help but have his heart warm up to Xu Yao, and his tone was much gentler.

“I saw you sitting over there alone, and you seem to be troubled.”

Xu Yao did not sleep. When she logged out of the game, she poured herself a cup of water at midnight, but since Xu Xin was sleeping beside her, her actions were very light.

What she did not expect was that when she opened the door, she would see Happy sitting alone at the balcony.

That should have been it.

They lived under the same roof, and Xu Yao did not intend to alarm this boss of hers.

But Happy just kept sighing heavily and in great depression, and this was the first time Xu Yao this completely different side from Happy.

This person had always seemed to enjoy never-ending glory, was filled with enthusiasm, and was the greatest player in the Chinese server who had an incredibly awe-inspiring presence about him, but now, he was sighing like a normal person.

To countless people, Happy was a person who can do anything he set his mind to.

He was a young man with an incredibly bright and smart mind, had a wealth that no one had, had the most caring girlfriend, and made countless friends acknowledge his leadership. He was a young man many people envied.

He was also an employer who was perfect in reality and in game.

Why did he look so troubled?

Xu Yao could not help but stop in the dark and watch Happy quietly, and she continued watching until Happy got the chills and got up.

“Ah…”

Xu Yao was shocked, and it was only then she noticed that she had been standing there like a fool for a long time, and she had even been discovered by the boss who always hated her.

Just when she thought her boss was going to scold her in anger born out embarrassment, he saw a gentle look in Happy’s eyes that he had never shown her, and his tone was also very gentle.

“Why… aren’t you sleeping yet? It’s already very late.”

When she heard this, Xu Yao thought that Xu Xin woke up because of her. She looked around her before she answered with a blush on her face. “I… I just came out to get myself some water.”

As she spoke, she quickly walked to the water dispenser.

But since she had been standing where she was for a long time, she was filled with pins and needles, and her body became limp. She fell to the ground.

Happy’s limbs might not be able to move as he willed in the other world, but he did not have this problem in this world. He went forward quickly and held her when he saw this.

“Tha-thank you… Ah…”

When Happy held her, Xu Yao quickly wanted to get up, but her legs were still numb. She cried out in surprise and did not manage to get up.

“Have you stood there for a long time?” Happy saw where the problem was.

Xu Yao’s face burned with shame. She did not dare answer, much less look up to meet Happy’s gaze.

Happy did not avoid touching her and supported her by the waist so that they reached the couch.

“You didn’t twist your ankle, right?”

“No. I’m fine, I’ll be okay once I sit down a little. Come inside. You mustn’t catch a cold.”

“I’m a man, and I’m not as fragile as you think I am. Do you want me to massage your legs?”

“No!” Xu Yao looked like a cat with her tail stomped. The only thing she did not do was jump up from the couch.

Xu Xin was her best friend, and Happy was Xu Xin’s boyfriend. She still knew this very well, and even though Happy was offering to help her out of kind will, if Xu Xin saw this, it will be bad if her best friend misunderstood the situation.

“Then you’ll have to massage your leg yourself.”

“Alright.”

The duo soon sank into silence.

Half a minute later, Xu Yao was unable to endure this unbearable silence. She asked falteringly, “Happy, you… sat over there for a long time. Do you… maybe have something troubling you?”
