Chapter 78 Mission Complete
A little beggar pointed out the way, and they arrived at their destination smoothly, showing off their extraordinary adventure.
"Is this the place?"
"vomit……"
As soon as the little beggar landed, he couldn't help but run to the side and vomit profusely.
After he vomited up all the food in his stomach, he carefully observed the surrounding scene.
"This is it."
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he nodded: "Alright, stay here and don't go too far. If you encounter any danger, just slap me, and I'll come back to life."
"Return to what?"
The little beggar thought he had misheard and was about to ask a few more questions when he saw Xiu Chuqi sit down on the ground, instantly losing all vitality.
"!!!"
Having already entered a meditative state, Xiu Chu was unaware of the fright the little beggar had suffered; all she could see now were the souls of the dead.
This place truly lived up to its reputation as a site of unjust death, as it was filled with an unusually large number of wandering souls.
Show off your extraordinary encounter by casually stopping a wandering ghost with a sword stuck in its head.
"Can we talk for a bit? How did you die?"
Perhaps due to deep-seated resentment, this wandering spirit was incredibly unfriendly. Showing off his adventures was merely asking a simple question when the spirit suddenly erupted, turning completely red, and lunged at him.
There was no other way but to force him to pass on after showing off his extraordinary encounter.
"Since this ghost won't cooperate, I'll try another one."
This time, Show Off Your Adventure chose to ask a wandering spirit that didn't have any obvious wounds.
Have you ever heard of assassin organizations?
The wandering spirit remained silent, merely roaming aimlessly around.
Showing off her extraordinary adventure, she stopped him, still unwilling to give up: "How did you die?"
These words seemed to have some kind of magic; the wandering soul who had previously disregarded the "Show Off Your Adventure" instantly turned into a red-named individual and pounced on the "Show Off Your Adventure."
Once again, he showed great kindness and helped a lost soul find peace, but after showing off his extraordinary adventure, he realized he had discovered something wrong.
"They don't seem to like me asking about their cause of death. Maybe we should change the subject next time?"
This time, the victim's soul is a man who is missing half of his head.
Have you ever heard of assassin organizations?
The wandering soul remained silent.
"Who killed you? Would you like me to help you get revenge?"
The wandering spirit continued its journey.
"Hey, did you hear what I said?"
The wandering spirits ignored it.
"Don't ignore me, you bastard!"
"Pfft."
A soft laugh rang out from not far away. Xiuchu looked over and found that the person who laughed was a little girl sitting on a rock.
Seeing Xiu's strange encounter and looking over, the little girl's smile froze, and she immediately floated down and hid behind a rock.
It's rare to encounter a wandering spirit that seems to be able to communicate with; how could I possibly give up on this extraordinary encounter?
He strode over to the rock and pulled the little girl out from behind it.
"Let me go, let me go."
The little girl screamed.
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he couldn't just put her down like that. He raised his hand and placed her on the rock, making her look into his eyes.
"Can you understand me?"
The little girl seemed a little scared.
"I don't know, please don't kill me, I haven't hurt anyone!"
The little girl kept calling out and then burst into tears.
Showing off his unexpected encounter, he awkwardly put her down, thought for a moment, then took out a candied hawthorn from Uncle Egg Fork's bag from his backpack and stuffed it into the little girl's mouth.
"Don't cry, I'll treat you to candied hawthorns."
As expected of Uncle Egg Fork, the moment he stuffed the candied hawthorn into the little girl's mouth, the crying immediately stopped.
The little girl's eyes widened in surprise.
"Ah, it's candied hawthorn!"
Seeing that the other person had finally calmed down, he squatted down to look the little girl in the eye.
"Is it tasty?"
"Delicious!" the little girl nodded.
Showing off her amazing adventure, she took out more candied hawthorns from her backpack: "Answer me a few questions, and if you answer correctly, I'll give you all these candied hawthorns."
"Wow!"
The little girl's eyes widened in surprise: "Really?"
"Really, if you don't believe me, let's pinky swear."
Two fingers, one big and one small, hooked together: "Pinky promise, never to change! Whoever changes is a puppy."
"Alright," Showing off her extraordinary encounter, she withdrew her finger, "Now you can answer my question, right?"
The little girl took a bite of half a hawthorn and said, "Go ahead and ask."
After thinking for a moment, Xiu Chuqi decided to go straight to the most crucial question: "Do you know about assassin organizations?"
Although she herself didn't hold much hope for the answer to this question. The other party was simply too young, so young that they might not even know what an assassin was.
"I know."
"If you don't know, then..."
"Huh?" Showing off her extraordinary encounter was taken aback.
"I know," the little girl repeated, biting into her candied hawthorn.
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he looked at her in shock: "How do you know about the assassin organization?"
The little girl calmly replied, "Of course I know, they're the ones who killed me."
He paused for a moment after revealing his extraordinary encounter.
Although she knew that the killers were in the business of killing, she never expected that they would not even spare such a young child.
He reached out and touched the little girl's hair: "Do you know where the assassin organization's headquarters is? I can kill their leader to avenge you."
The little girl shook her head: "I don't know."
Before she could even reveal her disappointment at her extraordinary encounter, she continued, "However, I know who the leader of the assassin organization is; you can go directly to him."
This is what it means to find a new path after a long and winding road.
Since entering the game level, I've always been the one to show off my adventures and dictate other people's emotions. This is the first time I've been so flustered by an NPC's words.
But she wasn't unhappy at all.
He suddenly picked up the little girl, tossed her up in the air, and caught her again.
"You are amazing."
The little girl proudly tossed her braids: "Of course, I overheard his conversation with my dad."
“That man demanded that my father serve him, but my father refused, so he killed everyone in our family.”
“I remember it very clearly, my father called him Second Master Xue.”
"Second Master Xue?"
Upon careful recollection of her extraordinary encounter, she realized that she had never actually seen the so-called Second Master Xue in Xue Family Village.
The little girl nodded: "It's him, I remember him very clearly."
Showing off his extraordinary encounter to suppress his doubts, he touched the little girl's hair.
"Okay, I understand."
"Thank you so much, you've really helped me a lot."
As he spoke, he took out all of Uncle Egg Fork's candied hawthorns from his backpack and stuffed them all into the little girl's hands.
The little girl was overjoyed: "These are all for me? This is so much!"
“Not much, not much,” Xiu said, looking at her with affection. “You deserve all of this. Don’t worry, when I get back, I will kill the leader of the assassin organization and avenge you.”
The little girl nodded seriously.
"I trust you."
After saying goodbye to the little girl, he showed off his miraculous encounter and returned to his body.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the little beggar who had given me directions earlier lying in front of me, crying his eyes out.
"How could you die? You can't die!"
"How am I supposed to explain this to Chu Xiangshuai if you die?"
"Besides, this place is so far from the ruined temple, and I don't have any silver on me. How am I supposed to get back and send a message?"
"Stop crying, I'm not dead!"
Showing off her extraordinary encounter made him cry so hard his head ached, so she couldn't help but scold him.
"Aaaaaah!"
The little beggar was startled by the revelation of his extraordinary encounter and ran away abruptly.
"There's a ghost!"
"Don't come looking for me! I didn't kill you. You just stopped breathing as soon as you got here. It has nothing to do with me. Don't come looking for me!"
She showed off her amazing encounter and, with quick reflexes, grabbed his collar.
"Stop yelling! Look closely, I'm not dead!"
The little beggar was so frightened that snot and tears streamed down his face. When Xiuchu pulled him, he fell to the ground.
Seeing this strange sight, Xiu sighed and went forward to help him up.
Feeling the warmth of Xiu Chu's hand, the little beggar finally calmed down a bit.
"Huh, it's warm."
Looking up at her rosy, beautiful face, she blushed and asked, "You're really not dead?"
Showing off her extraordinary encounter, she said irritably, "Of course I'm not dead. Didn't I tell you? I came here on business. I was just communicating with the wandering spirits here."
The little beggar looked at the man who had just revealed his extraordinary encounter with astonishment: "You're actually a Taoist priest with superb magical powers?"
"I am not a Taoist priest."
"Fine, you can just think of me as a Taoist priest."
"Anyway, I'm not dead, and I've found the clues I was looking for. Let's go back now."
As he spoke, he grabbed the little beggar and flew straight into the sky.
"Aaaaaaah!"
"No, I can go back by myself!"
Ignoring the little beggar's resistance, he returned to the dilapidated temple after showcasing his extraordinary adventure.
As soon as he returned, Chu Liuxiang greeted him.
"So, have you found any useful information?"
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he nodded: "Of course."
He gestured to Chu Liuxiang to find a quiet place. Chu Liuxiang understood, turned around, gave a few instructions, and then left the dilapidated temple with Xiu Chuqi.
“I learned some information from a young girl. She had overheard a conversation between her father and the leader of an assassin organization. Her father referred to the other party as Master Xue the Second.”
"Second Master Xue?"
Chu Liuxiang looked at the person who had just shared their extraordinary encounter with surprise: "Are you sure the other person didn't mishear?"
Showing off her extraordinary encounter, she nodded: "That's exactly what she said."
Chu Liuxiang pondered for a moment, then touched his nose as usual before speaking with a solemn expression.
“I have indeed heard of the Second Master Xue. He is Xue Yiren’s younger brother, named Xue Baobao.”
"But he went mad many years ago because he couldn't stand people comparing him to his brother Xue Yiren."
"Crazy?"
Showing off her extraordinary encounter, she looked at Chu Liuxiang.
Chu Liuxiang nodded: "He really is insane."
“I have seen him before. Regardless of the weather, he always wore a red cotton-padded jacket. He looked crazy and had the mind of a child.”
"But that little girl did say that the leader of the assassin organization is the Second Master Xue. Could it be that there is another Second Master Xue in Xue Family Manor?"
Both of them fell into deep thought.
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he stroked his chin like Chu Liuxiang and said, "Do you think it's possible that Xue Baobao isn't crazy at all?"
"Was he actually faking it?"
"ah?"
Chu Liuxiang was taken aback, but quickly realized what was happening.
"That's right. The leader of the assassin organization is highly skilled in martial arts and strikes frequently. There are only a handful of masters in the martial arts world with such high skills. They either live in seclusion or are the leaders of a sect. They simply don't have that much time to manage a large assassin organization."
"But if it's Xue Baobao, then this can be explained."
"Who would keep track of where a madman, especially a madman with superb martial arts skills, goes?"
"No wonder the assassin organization only operates near Songjiang Prefecture. Xue Yiren would never let his crazy brother leave home alone for too long, so they can only operate near Songjiang Prefecture."
In this way, everything makes sense.
However, considering the other party's identity, Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but sigh.
Turning to look at Xiu Chuqi, he gave a wry smile: "It seems that our feud with Xue Yiren is now set in stone."
Showing off her extraordinary encounter, she couldn't help but silently mourn for Xue Yiren for a second: "There's nothing we can do about it, his family members are all up to no good."
Before dawn, one can go out to look for clues anytime, but visiting someone's home requires choosing a suitable time. Even if one is an unwelcome guest, there's no such thing as showing up in the middle of the night.
The two spent the night in the dilapidated temple, and the next morning they went to Xuejiazhuang again.
Why are you here again?
Xue Honghong was still standing in front of the two of them.
After Xue Bin's martial arts were crippled, she returned to the Xue family mansion. At first, Xue Yiren tried to send her back to Shi Family Village, but Xue Honghong insisted on staying, citing her concern for Xue Bin as the reason.
After Xue Yiren was defeated by Xiu Chuqiyu, he became even more disheartened and stopped caring about the affairs of Xue Family Village. Now, Xue Honghong has completely become the person in charge of Xue Family Village.
As for her good-for-nothing brother, Xue Bin, he was terrified. He spends all his time hiding in his room, living a life of debauchery and too ashamed to come out.
Seeing the speechless expression on Xue Honghong's face, Xiu Chuqi sighed. She didn't want to either, but some things had to be done.
"We've come to find your second uncle."
"What do you want with my second uncle?" Xue Honghong looked at Xiu Chuqiyu with a puzzled expression. "He's probably not available to receive guests."
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he stared into Xue Honghong's eyes and said, word by word, "This matter is of great importance. Before your second uncle arrives, you'd better ask your father to come forward."
Xue Honghong was puzzled, but looking at Xiu Chuqi's determined eyes, she had a sudden realization.
Regardless of whether his elderly father's wounded heart had healed, he forcibly broke into his secluded place and pulled him out.
"How dare you! Who gave you permission to barge in without your elders' permission?"
Xue Yiren's golden image had already been shattered when he was defeated by Xiu Chu's extraordinary encounter. Now, Xue Honghong no longer sees him as the greatest swordsman in the world, but only as a pitiful old father. Naturally, she no longer feels any fear towards him.
While pulling Xue Yiren outside, he explained, "Don't talk about this anymore. That female demon is here again. This time it seems she's here to cause trouble for Second Uncle. Father, you should go and see what's going on."
Caught off guard, Xue Yiren was pulled out of the room by Xue Honghong. Although he was furious, he couldn't bring himself to kill his own daughter over such a trivial matter.
Before he could calm down, he heard Xue Honghong's words.
"What? She's causing trouble for your second uncle again?"
"This is absolutely outrageous!"
With that, he shook off Xue Honghong and strode towards the reception room.
"My second brother is a patient, how could he have offended you, young lady?"
"Is it really worth it for you, young lady, to make another trip to our Xue Family Village? Are you perhaps taking advantage of the Xue family's lack of talent?"
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he looked at the furious Xue Yiren and silenced him with just one sentence.
"Your second brother is the leader of an assassin organization."
Xue Yiren: "..."
A moment of silence fell over the surroundings.
After a long pause, Xue Yiren spoke angrily: "There's a limit to what a young lady can say. Everyone knows that my second brother went mad many years ago."
"How could a madman be the leader of an assassin organization?"
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, Xue Yiren's reaction was not surprising. He simply asked slowly, "Then may I ask if you remember which year your second brother went mad?"
Xue Yiren: "Hmph!"
Upon seeing this, Xue Honghong quickly said, "I remember, my second uncle fell ill six years ago."
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he turned to Chu Liuxiang and asked, "Then may I ask, Chu Liuxiang, in which year did the assassin organization appear in the martial arts world?"
Chu Liuxiang smiled and glanced at Xiu Chu's extraordinary encounter: "It was also six years ago."
"So what does that prove?" Xue Yiren said dismissively.
Showing off his extraordinary encounter without getting angry, he slowly said, "That proves a lot."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around abruptly to look behind him: "Second Master Xue, don't you think so?"
Everyone was then surprised to realize that Xue Baobao had somehow appeared outside the reception room.
"What did you say? The baby doesn't understand."
Then, she ran up to Xue Yiren in a frenzy and asked, "Brother, who are they? Why are they in my house?"
Xue Yiren closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his gaze was sharp as he looked at Xue Baobao.
"Are you really the leader of an assassin organization?"
Xue Baobao's eyes were full of innocence: "Brother, what did you say?"
"What kind of assassin organization leader? Is he powerful?"
"I want to be, I want to be, I want to be the leader of the assassin organization!"
He acted erratically, without a trace of acting.
Xue Yiren turned to look at the group that had just had a strange encounter: "As you can see, he is indeed a madman and could not possibly be the leader of an assassin organization."
Before revealing his extraordinary encounter, he had already guessed that the other party wouldn't admit it so easily.
But it doesn't matter, she has evidence.
"Is that so? Yesterday, Chu Liuxiang and I were attacked while investigating the assassin organization. Although the person who attacked us escaped, he was hit by my sword."
"Master Xue is known as the greatest swordsman in the world. He must have a deep understanding of swordsmanship. He should be able to deduce the style of swordsmanship from the wound, right?"
She had discovered this before showing off her adventure: the NPCs in the game levels were different from her; they actually had real wounds. And they didn't have any miraculous medicines like the High-Grade Panacea that could instantly heal injuries.
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he was certain that the wounds left on him yesterday were still there.
As she spoke, she looked at Xue Baobao.
"I wonder if the Second Master could take off his shirt so that your elder brother could examine him personally and see if there are any injuries on his chest?"
"It just so happens that Master Xue has also witnessed the Ice Heart Technique, so he should be able to tell whether that wound was left by the Ice Heart Technique."
Xue Yiren's gaze fell on Xue Baobao again.
This time, Xue Baobao did not continue to pretend to be crazy.
He was silent for a moment, then spoke in a tone completely different from before: "How did you find out about me?"
His eyes were full of doubt: "I clearly cleaned up all the clues."
"Those beggars couldn't possibly know anything, so how did you find out?"
He doesn't have the habit of revealing his extraordinary encounters to his enemies.
He slowly drew the Dragon Carp sword, its tip pointing at Xue Baobao: "Go ask that question in hell."
Even though he already knew Xue Baobao's true identity, Xue Yiren still couldn't bring himself to see him in front of him.
Without hesitation, Xue Yiren stepped in front of Xue Baobao and looked at Xiu Chuqiyu: "I am willing to die in his place, please spare him, young lady. If you agree, I am willing to give you the entire Xue family estate."
"Father!"
Xue Honghong exclaimed in surprise.
Xue Yiren glanced at her and said, "Shut up!"
That glare was so stern that even though Xue Honghong had long lost any respect for Xue Yiren, she was still rooted to the spot by that look.
Showing off her extraordinary encounter, she chuckled softly.
"You've really hit the nail on the head; I really love money."
As he spoke about his extraordinary encounter, he opened the martial arts assistant: "But some wealth makes me feel very bad."
Selecting Xue Baobao, showing off her adventure, and clicking the attack button: "At this point, I have no choice but to make myself feel better first."
Looking at Xue Baobao lying behind him, Xue Yiren couldn't understand how Xiu Juqi had managed to sit over him and seriously injure Xue Baobao without moving an inch.
Xue Baobao's blood splattered on Xue Yiren's clothes, reminding him of every opponent he had ever killed.
Their blood was splattered on their clothes back then, and those blood-stained clothes are still kept in my collection room.
For the first time, he realized that the blood-stained clothes were a bit too glaring.
Holding the dying Xue Baobao, Xue Yiren looked at Xiu Chuqiyu with red eyes and said, "You've gone too far."
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he glanced at Xue Yiren's head. Despite constantly spouting threats, he unexpectedly turned into a green-named individual after learning Xue Baobao's identity.
This is also why Xue Yiren was able to survive.
But Xue Baobao couldn't survive.
"Brother, I..."
Before Xue Baobao could finish giving her last words, Xiu showed off her extraordinary encounter and then launched another attack.
"puff……"
A large amount of blood soaked Xue Yiren's clothes red, and Xue Baobao ultimately failed to express his jealousy and resentment towards his brother.
"Your Mightiness……"
Xue Yiren didn't even finish speaking.
Because the moment you complete the main quest after showing off your extraordinary encounter, you are teleported back to your home.
Before me was the familiar settlement screen.
"Have you heard? A powerful figure has appeared in the martial arts world who can communicate between the living and the dead. It is said that she can communicate between the two realms and obtain the truth from ghosts."
"Hush, never do anything bad. Even if the living cannot define your sins, the spirits of the dead will find you under the guidance of justice and seek revenge."
System: "Congratulations to the player for clearing the game level 'Ghostly Romance' and achieving the ending 'Good and evil will ultimately be rewarded, and right and wrong will all lead to the gates of hell'."
System: "The completion reward will be sent to your mailbox one minute after you log out of the game. Please check your mailbox in time."
Returning home again, Xiu Xiu recounts her extraordinary adventures while still pondering what Xue Yiren ultimately wanted to say.
He's really a very strange NPC.
Logically speaking, after showing off his extraordinary encounters, crippling his son's martial arts skills, and killing his brother, he should at least be a red-named player.
Why did it end up being a green name?
Even if they were in the wrong, shouldn't they at least have their names changed to yellow as a token gesture? Why did they turn green?
Showing off an extraordinary encounter left him completely baffled.
"You're back."
Kunyu Xuanjing's voice rang out, interrupting Xiu's thoughts on her extraordinary encounter.
Forget it, it's all in the past, let's not dwell on it.
Wouldn't a green name be better? Players can leave, but Chu Liuxiang and the others remain in that world. Having an enemy who was once the greatest swordsman in the world is not a good thing.
