Unfortunately, although Liu Ling’s mission was indeed completed, it was not so quiet in the true sense. At least, Feng Tianhao was very clear about it.
In fact, Feng Tianhao had already guessed that Liu Ling would follow him. When he closed the window in the grandmother’s ward, he had already noticed a strange nurse hiding in a corner. It was obvious that, she was Liu Ling. At that time, Feng Tianhao had smiled because he discovered Liu Ling, this eavesdropping ‘female spy’.
After Feng Tianhao and Zhu Ni returned to the university, they went back to their own dormitories and returned to the game.
At this moment, it was high noon in the game. The sunlight was the strongest.
In a bleak and desolate countryside, a black-faced man was sleeping soundly in a thatched hut, and outside the door, the famous Shake the Heaven was quarreling against two fellows of unknown origin.
Shake the Heaven said: “Brothers, it won’t be good for any of us if we continue doing this.”
A red-faced and red-eyed tall man sneered: “Since that is the case, leave quickly, I won’t argue with you.”
Shake the Heaven made a wry smile. These days, he had been entangled with these two fellows. Both sides’ objective was to recruit that dark burly man in the room. Unfortunately, both sides had competed fiercely and reached a deadlock. It was impossible for anyone to complete the recruitment mission.
Shi Hao sighed and said: “Okay! Then I will leave. Merely, may I ask what your name is?”
A man with a medium build and easygoing appearance with protruding earlobes cupped his head and said: “Many thanks for yielding, brother, I’m Liu Xuande, and he is my friend, Guan Yunchang.”
Liu Bei and Guan Yu, there was no need to mention these two people’s reputations. The dark burly man in the room just happened to be Zhang Fei. What a coincidence that the three brothers had appeared together here. In addition, Liu Bei and Guan Yu had quickly gotten acquainted with each other. It seemed that they were also very certain about winning Zhang Fei over.
Shi Hao exclaimed: “It turned out to be you two are such great personage. I offended you two these past few days. I’m leaving first then.” After speaking, Shi Hao truly left without looking back, which looked more suspicious.
Guan Yu’s red eyes angrily looked at the distant back view of Shake the Heaven and said: “Brother, this fellow is definitely not a person who will let it go so easily. He had pestered us for so long, why would he give up just because of my scolding?”
Liu Bei smiled and said: “That’s natural. He, however, is Shake the Heaven. I have seen his picture many times. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have stopped you from attacking him so many times. After all, the power behind him is much stronger than us. We two are just wanderers to this day. We don’t have a stable residence…” While speaking, Liu Bei was almost in tears.
Upon seeing this, Guan Yu said: “Brother, in the future, you will definitely have a meteoric rise. Don’t be defeated by the small setbacks in front of you.”
Liu Bei smiled bitterly, and only after Guan Yu mentioned his grand ambition, he recalled the proper business. He then hastily entered the house, preparing to talk with that dark burly man, Zhang Fei.
Merely, just after Liu Bei took a step in, that Zhang Fei shouted ‘Scram, thief’. Afterward, he held a crude wooden stick and rushed towards Liu Bei, wanting to give Liu Bei a good beating.
Liu Bei’s profession was a commander. Zhang Fei, however, was a violent-type fighter. Therefore, how could Liu Bei be the opponent of Zhang Fei. Liu Bei had to retreat in haste, but he didn’t forget to say: “Brave Hero, don’t be so impulsive.”
Zhang Fei, however, snorted coldly and said: “These days, you people chattered continuously outside my house every day. It had already made me quite unhappy. And now, you all actually want to enter my house to harass me. You are bullying me too much.” Zhang Fei said while stepping forward.
Liu Bei was startled and took three steps back.
Guan Yu immediately stood in front of Liu Bei and coldly looked at Zhang Fei.
Guan Yu’s profession was a knight. The advantage of a knight was it wouldn’t lose to anyone in one vs one battle. Therefore, Guan Yu also believed that he wouldn’t lose to that burly man.
Zhang Fei, however, was fearless. He raised his wooden stick and attacked Guan Yu. That move bore down menacingly and had the spirit of breaking a mountain.
Guan Yu inwardly praised ‘good skill’, and he became serious. He then hastily used his bare hands to catch that wooden stick.
Looking carefully, the wooden stick was not a piece of equipment that increased attack. The destructive power of the wooden stick was no different from the destructive power of bare hands. Guan Yu should be able to safely resist with his bare hands.
Unfortunately, Zhang Fei was a one-and-out violent-type fighter. How could his attack power be comparable to that of ordinary fighters?
Zhang Fei’s one stick attack sent Guan Yu flying and directly collided against Liu Bei.
After a little while, Liu Bei, who was covered in dirt, got up. As for Guan Yu, he had lost half of his HP. Although he looked angry now, he didn’t dare to rashly approach that burly man.
Zhang Fei, however, didn’t follow up a victory with hot pursuit, instead, he turned around and went to sleep again…
Not long after, in a small forest not far away, Shi Hao was waiting for a powerful helper, Pei Yuanqing.
Pei Yuanqing stepped forward and said: “Am I late?” He had received a letter from Shi Hao sometime earlier, but because of his relatively slow speed, even though he used a war dragon, he was still not as fast as those knights.
Shi Hao smiled and said: “No, you have come just in time. Even if they didn’t encounter any obstacles, it would still take some time to successfully complete the recruitment mission. Let’s go now. We might just be able to catch them unprepared.” Shi Hao was very confident when saying this. It was because he understood that the mission to recruit Zhang Fei was not so easy. Even with the hidden recruitment method, it would take a lot of time.
Pei Yuanqing was relieved and said: “Then, how should we act now?”
Shi Hao just had a strange smile, and hurried towards Zhang Fei with Pei Yuanqing without replying. Soon, they arrived there and observed the situation from a hidden corner.
Guan Yu seemed to have drunk a potion, which seemed very valuable for them, and now, he had already recovered his health, and his expression was very energetic as before.
Liu Bei said: “That potion was truly a treasure…”
Guan Yu was quite grateful in his heart and said: “Many thanks, brother, but if there are any mishaps later, then we will be powerless.”
Liu Bei sighed: “Yes! We spent our entire savings to buy that potion. Those outsiders are one greedier than others. For just an ordinary potion, we truly had to cut off our flesh.”
Guan Yu also sighed: “Alas! This is also good. Divine and Mighty Alliance is even worse. We can’t even buy it. Moreover, many people of Divine and Mighty Alliance are becoming more and more greedy for profit. Our days aren’t easy, only Brother can save this world.”
Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei, who was still soundly in the room, shook his head and said: “I hope so…”
