Chapter 73 Under the Smile

| Banxia Novel Exclusive |

*

After Wu Du killed Wei Wu Ya, Wu Ya Sect ceased to exist. Before that, Wu Ya Sect still had unfinished murder commissions.

Wu Ya Sect’s employers secretly observed and felt something was wrong. If no one completed their commissions, wouldn’t the commission money be wasted?

On the way to the Salted Fish Sect, Wu Ya Sect’s clients sent a group of people to find fault and ask Wu Du for an explanation.

Wu Du remained calm and unmoved. In the face of cold-blooded witnesses, he very kindly rejected their request.

What a joke! Although these people’s money had been repaid by Bu Zao, he didn’t want to work for others in vain. This would be of no use in boosting the reputation of the Salted Fish Sect.

Leng Xue and the former assassins of Wu Ya Sect watched in silence as Wu Du made people speechless with a few words. However, this man still looked honest and sincere. After those people left because of Leng Xue's identity, they remained silent for a long time.

Wu Du thanked Leng Xue: "Thanks to you, otherwise I don't know how long I would be entangled."

Leng Xue blinked and nodded.

A killer thanked the head of the police...

The former assassins of Wu Ya Sect fell into deep thought. This was a scene they had never seen before.

Leng Xue asked Wu Du why he was willing to provide a place for these people who had nowhere to go. Wu Du's answer was still related to the leader of the Salted Fish Sect. Whenever Wu Du mentioned the leader, Leng Xue felt that the shadow of his playmate seven years ago was getting fainter.

However, when they were playing with birds together, when they mentioned the lovely Wangcai, Wudu's smiling eyes vaguely overlapped with the past.

Wudu has not changed, and is still the little friend in Lengxue's memory, but Lengxue does not agree with his attitude towards the leader of the Salted Fish Sect.

Except for the employer of the Toothless Sect who came to block the way, there was no obstacle on the road for a short time. The group of people who were not good at talking quietly went to the Salted Fish Sect.

Not only Lengxue, but also the dead men of the Toothless Sect were curious about this strange sect that had never been heard of in the world.

But no one dared to ask Wudu, they did not forget the scene where Wudu killed Wei Wuya with a knife, so even though Wudu's face under the mask was a little childish, no one dared to despise him.

The dead men of the Toothless Sect gathered together to warm themselves by the fire.

The wind was slightly cool in the late summer night. Living in the desert, one needed to light a fire to keep warm. Not far away, the cold-blooded chief constable and the killer Wu Du had another bonfire and were talking intermittently.

The dead soldiers had no proper names. They followed Wei Wuya's surname Wei and were called by serial numbers. If one of them died, his descendants would take his place. There were thirteen people present now, of varying ages.

"Will he want to keep us working for him like the leader did?"

"The cold-blooded captain was here too, he wouldn't let him do that."

"Why would he want to leave so many people behind? I heard that the handsome men who were once abducted by Shi Guanyin are also in the Salted Fish Sect."

"The Salted Fish Sect"

"I heard the cold-blooded captain and Wu Du say that..."

"What a strange name."

"But he looks very well behaved... He looks about thirteen years old. Not what I thought."

"No wonder he always wears a mask. If he shows that face to his employer, he probably won't get any murder business."

"Yeah... Come to think of it... Who are you?"

Among the thirteen people gathered in front of the bonfire, a figure suddenly appeared, holding a sword and listening to their conversation quietly.

The thirteen people became fourteen.

Everyone looked at the fourteenth person who had appeared. He was a serious-looking young man, the sword in his arms flashing with a cold light.

The fire crackled, and after a short silence, everyone jumped up and shouted, "Who are you!"

Not far away, Leng Xue and Wu Du, who were discussing the question of "Why did the leader not like to eat fish but chose the name of the Salted Fish Sect, and even the sect's token is a fish", turned their heads and looked at the messy group of people over there.

The young man surrounded by the former death warriors of the Wu Ya Sect was Zhong Yuan Yi Dian Hong.

Yidianhong said, "I have no bad intentions."

Even if she had no bad intentions, it was too scary to suddenly appear!

"Who are you?"

Before Yidianhong could speak, Wudu's voice rang out behind them, "He is Yidianhong."

Wudu comforted the former dead soldiers and asked Yidianhong to go to a quiet place to talk.

Lengxue did not get up, but just sat by the campfire and watched Wudu bring people over.

"Because you didn't come to me, I came to you." Yidianhong said lightly.

"Sorry, I'm a little busy recently. As you can see, I'm going to take them to Salted Fish Pie."

"...Salted Fish Pie" Yidianhong showed a similar expression to Lengxue when he first heard the name.

"Salty for sweet, fish for swimming." Wudu explained seriously, "Salted fish pie." Yidianhong did not speak, but looked at Lengxue on the side.

Lengxue said to him, "You have to wait. If possible, I hope you don't fight."

During the journey, Lengxue more or less learned from Wudu about the agreement between him and Yidianhong, and even knew clearly that he met him after escaping from Yidianhong's sword.

Wudu is a person who will answer every question, and in most cases, his answer will answer other people's doubts.

"Why do you say that? It's impossible."

Yidianhong said.

The leader's request cannot be violated, and this has nothing to do with Yidianhong himself and the thoughts of others.

"You let him escape... Isn't it a good thing to see him alive after reuniting?"

Leng Xue picked up a stick from the ground and poked the fading fire. The fire crackled and the faces of the three people were slightly illuminated by the fire.

Yidianhong looked at Wudu, and Wudu said, "I jumped off the cliff and was caught by the cold-blooded headman."

"...Is that so?"

The three people present had an intersection seven years ago. Such a fate made Yidianhong not know how to react for a while.

"This is the rule." Yidianhong finally said indifferently, "I can wait until you are done."

Although he is unkind, he is very easy to talk to.

Bu Zao smiled at him: "Thank you."

Leng Xue used a wooden stick to stir up the fire, looked at the two people on both sides in front of him, and said nothing.

*

The Salted Fish Sect is located deep in the mountains, and can only be reached by a stone road hidden between layers of trees.

Bu Zao arranged Shi Guanyin's male pet outside the Salted Fish Sect, and people were not allowed to enter the interior. Even if they wanted to enter, they could not find the direction - this is the power of DIY players. The roads are like a maze, and the inside and outside are not connected.

The Salted Fish Sect occupies a very large area, and the player is very keen on enclosing land to expand the address area. There are traces of him both on the ground and underground.

In the past seven years, the player has not only leveled up, as the base camp of the Salted Fish Sect, the sect buildings have also been built solemnly and magnificently by Bu Zao.

The task of building the sect was completed two years ago. In the five years before that, Bu Zao watched Yue Gan's work from time to time. Even though all the vests were equivalent to him, that kind of life was not boring.

And the result was very gratifying. Bu Zao built a building that was more magnificent than the 1.0 version. The people he brought were amazed by what they saw just by being outside the Salted Fish Sect. And the people who followed Wu Du here this time also expressed surprise.

Pavilions, towers, green trees, stone bridges and green pools, the scenery you see is like being in a fairyland, and you can only hear the wind chimes under the eaves swaying gently, and the sound is crisp and pleasant.

The handsome men who had recovered from their injuries and picked up their martial arts again came out to see Wu Du and gave warm greetings to the group.

Wu Du handed the task of arranging the death squad to the leadership-oriented Jiang Zheng. This man was once a rich young man, but his family fell into poverty and he went out to make a living, but fell into the hands of Shi Guanyin. He had a strong learning ability. Even if Bu Zao asked him to learn some complicated knowledge, he could integrate it and master it quickly.

So Bu Zao simply became a hands-off manager. The principle of the head is to teach everything, while the principle of the player is to play however you like.

Yidianhong was a little confused. He watched everything in silence, followed behind Wu Du, and saw that the other party was surrounded by people in the middle, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Is this the true meaning of "voluntarily becoming a killer" as Wudu said?

He did not do what he was forced to do, but did it out of his heart, so he had no worries when saving these people.

Yidianhong stared at Wudu blankly.

Even so, he still felt that Wudu should not take the path of a killer.

...

It was rare for someone to come to the Salted Fish Sect, and Bu Zao felt that the original leader should come out for a walk, so the original leader had returned a few days ago and showed a shadow in front of the handsome men, as mysterious as he could be.

So after Wudu returned, Jiang Zheng mentioned the return of the leader to Wudu.

The leader did not say anything, and Jiang Zheng and others dared to watch from afar. They met each other and never met again.

"Maybe he has left..."

Jiang Zheng said hesitantly.

When they saw the leader, they didn't even realize that he was the leader of the Salted Fish Sect.

The man stood under the shade of the tree, holding up a wide leaf to cover his face. From time to time, a pair of eyes appeared behind the gently swaying wide leaves, with a look of bewilderment in his eyes.

There was a hint of smile in his voice, and after a simple greeting, he disappeared into the mountains and forests.

As the leader of the Salted Fish Sect, the man showed no concern for Jiang Zheng and his party.

Jiang Zheng thought of that figure, and his heart was filled with a subtle emotion that was difficult to explain.

Wu Du's eyes widened slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Jiang Zheng could see clearly that Wu Du really respected and loved the leader master.

After saying goodbye to Jiang Zheng and others, Wu Du went to find Leng Xue and Yi Dian Hong. The two were talking, but since one was a police chief and the other was a killer, it was inevitable that they didn't get along.

"They said the head master is back." Wu Du's arrival interrupted the conversation between the two, and they all looked at him.

"I'm going to meet them, do you want to go?"

Leng Xue was surprised and said, "Can we go?"

"Sure." Wu Du nodded and said, "You took care of me before, I have to introduce you to the head master."

That can't be considered taking care of...

Looking at Wu Du's round black eyes, it was difficult for the two to say such words, so they could only nod silently.

Leng Xue and Yi Dian Hong had their own guesses about what kind of person the headmaster was, but before meeting him, they both thought that he was a very strange and cold person.

Otherwise, how could someone teach his disciples to make a living by killing people?

Based on their own experiences, no matter how they looked at it, Wu Du's master was not a righteous person.

Under Wu Du's leadership, the few people passed through the dense forests, passed through the dark valleys, and walked through the streams and valleys. After walking for an unknown period of time, the view suddenly opened up.

Carved beams and painted buildings, flying eaves and corners, white bricks and green tiles, and the railings on the ground that looked like white jade carvings shone brightly in the sunlight.

Looking back, I don't know where I came from.

Walking across the suspended stone bridge with familiarity, Leng Xue and Yi Dian Hong followed.

Previously, the system took the initiative to make compensation because Bu Zao discovered that some situations were concealed in the agreement, including the program upgrade of scheduled maintenance of all sect buildings and the installation of smart butlers.

Not to mention scheduled maintenance, just installing smart butlers can reduce Bu Zao's workload. With simple settings, the affairs of the sect can be handed over to smart butlers.

This means that even if Bu Zao is not in the sect, he can easily keep the salted fish pie clean, and even if guests come, it will not appear too dirty.

As long as there is no artificial intelligence that develops self-awareness, the smart butler will always work according to the mode set by Bu Zao.

Yidianhong was concerned about the lack of other people in such an empty building, and he couldn't help asking, "Is there no one else here?"

"No." Wudu answered him, "The head master said that three people and a dog are lively enough."

Yidianhong nodded silently.

Several people came to the main hall, Wudu asked them to sit for a while, and he went to find the head master.

Yidianhong and Lengxue were speechless.

Wudu was gone for a long time, and Lengxue looked outside. He saw green mountains all around, and the flying eaves and corners in the distance came into view, with vigorous vitality.

The two of them were in a daze for a while, enjoying this rare tranquility.

The leader appeared at this time.

The man wore a white smiley mask and a black robe with dark gold embroidery. He faced the two people in the room.

Lengxue subconsciously grabbed the sword, and Yidianhong even stood up.

The smiley mask appeared very abruptly, so abruptly that neither of them noticed any movement.

The smiley mask was smiling no matter who it looked at, and it smiled when it spoke: "You two don't need to be so defensive. We are guests from afar, so please be more casual."

Lengxue said: "Your Excellency... is the leader of the Salted Fish Sect."

The leader said: "It's me."

Yidianhong asked: "Why don't you see Wudu?"

The leader's laughter came from behind the mask.

"He's coming soon, don't worry. Why are you so nervous? I won't eat you."

"..."

Even though they chatted back and forth for a few words, they were still on guard when facing the head.

That smiling mask was too fake and made people feel uncomfortable.
