With Ye Weiming pushing his Eight-Step Toad Leap to full throttle, the Tang Clan disciples could only eat dust behind him. But after Ye Weiming passed through a Small Forest, they did not even have the chance to eat dust anymore—Ye Weiming had completely shaken them off!

At once, someone quick-witted reminded them to go back and block the gates. Thus, the Tang Clan disciples charged back toward Hangzhou City's west gate with murderous momentum.

Twenty minutes later, Ye Weiming appeared outside the north gate. Then he was once again chased down by a large group of Tang Clan players...

Meanwhile, Youyou was still on the road to Longjing Village.

According to Ye Weiming's plan, his job was to probe the four gates of Hangzhou City one by one, reminding those Tang Clan disciples that "Youyou" was still wandering outside Hangzhou City, trying to find an opening to slip back in and take a carriage to Tang Clan Station.

Therefore, all four gates were surely guarded by large numbers of Tang Clan disciples lying in wait, and Ye Weiming was happy to play with them a little longer.

But this time, he finally encountered a troublesome opponent.

Eternal Chivalry was a game with a million players online at the same time. Ye Weiming could not possibly be the only skilled player blessed with lucky opportunities. His speed might surpass that of ninety-nine percent of ordinary players, but there would always be a select few who were no slower than him.

Outside Hangzhou City's north gate, he ran into one such expert.

Relying on the speed of his level-three Eight-Step Toad Leap, Ye Weiming sprinted for more than three li, yet a Tang Clan player remained on his tail. Not only had the distance failed to widen—it was steadily shrinking!

Clearly, that Tang Clan player's speed was even greater than Ye Weiming's!

"Haha..." Seeing that his prey was only a hundred meters away, the Tang Clan disciple chasing Ye Weiming laughed excitedly. "Junior Sister Youyou, I, Tang Sancai, am different from the others. You can shake them off, but you can't shake me! How about we make a deal? Give me the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, and I, Tang Sancai, promise to help you three times—whether it's quests, killing bosses, or PK. What do you say, Junior Sister?"

Carrier Pigeon Message from Youyou: Who is Tang Sancai?

Reply: I haven't met him in person, but Shuizhuroupian and the others mentioned him before. Apparently, he was a top expert in other games, and he's already shown considerable ability in Eternal Chivalry. Shuizhuroupian said he might currently be the strongest player among the Tang Clan disciples. You ran into him?

Another Carrier Pigeon Message: If I have time to message you, that means there's no danger. I was just asking.

Reply: Oh.

The strongest player among the Tang Clan players?

Interesting!

After reading Youyou's reply, Ye Weiming suddenly braked hard, spun around one hundred and eighty degrees, calculated with the fingers of his left hand, and aimed the hand crossbow in his right at Tang Sancai.

Tai Shan's Secret's active effect, activated!

Under the effects of Tai Shan's Secret, Tang Sancai felt a chill rise from his heels and shoot straight to the top of his head!

He realized that, in his eagerness to chase someone down, he seemed to have overlooked a very important problem...

Tang Sancai slammed on the brakes, turned, and ran!

What the hell was I doing?

That guy is holding the Zhuge Divine Crossbow!

The Zhuge Divine Crossbow isn't something one person can fight against!

Why was I chasing so fast!?

With a faint smile, Ye Weiming took a detour toward Hangzhou City's east gate. His speed was noticeably faster than before, because his Eight-Step Toad Leap had finally leveled up once again during this chase, reaching level four.

However, considering that the person behind him might be a gaming expert—and a gaming expert could easily tell that the cultivation gained from one boss and one wanted-quest reward could not possibly raise Youyou's basic qinggong by more than three levels—he had not accelerated immediately after his qinggong leveled up. Instead, he used the threat of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow to scare Tang Sancai away.

Meanwhile, Youyou was still on the road to Longjing Village.

Another twenty minutes later, Ye Weiming finally circled around to the Small Forest outside Hangzhou City's east gate. Just as he was about to draw another wave of aggro, he received a Carrier Pigeon Message from Youyou:

The mission is complete. If you need me in the future, just call. —Youyou

It was an extremely simple sentence, yet Ye Weiming seemed to see Youyou's pretty, unsmiling face.

Without replying, Ye Weiming changed back into his Imperial Hound outfit and entered Hangzhou City through the east gate at an unhurried pace.

The Tang Clan players had arrived quickly and dispersed just as quickly. The moment Youyou stepped down from the carriage at Tang Clan Station, players spotted her. Especially when they saw a high-level NPC personally come to receive her and hand over the mission, how could they not know the outcome of today's chase?

Thus, the players who had not participated in the pursuit began sending Carrier Pigeon Messages to their friends. The news spread from one to ten, ten to a hundred, and before long everyone knew that the Zhuge Divine Crossbow was beyond their reach. They then went their separate ways.

After all, everyone was pretty busy, weren't they?

As the sun set, the scenery by West Lake was naturally breathtaking. As one of West Lake's Ten Scenic Spots, Broken Bridge also carried the beautiful legend of the White Snake. It was an in-game dating haven for couples, and all along the road, male and female players could be seen in pairs, chatting and laughing. From time to time, a girl could even be heard softly singing a line or two about "the female ghost up ahead" or something like that, spreading dog food everywhere.

As for how the beginner period was precious time to improve one's strength and widen the gap with others?

For many people their age, even the sky falling was less important than dating!

Ye Weiming had no plans to date in the game, but seeing all those couples around him still made him feel deeply uncomfortable. It was not that he was annoyed by all the dog food, but because...

During this prime time for dating, he had come all the way to this prime dating location just to meet an old Daoist. How could that not be frustrating?

Even more frustrating, the old Daoist he was meeting was a goddamn man!

"Brother Ye, you're here." From far away, Ye Weiming saw Yin Bukui, dressed in Daoist robes, waving to greet him. This immediately drew all sorts of strange looks from the surrounding couples.

Walking over with a dark expression, Ye Weiming could not help complaining, "Look at the place you picked!"

"I didn't have much choice either." Yin Bukui gave him a helpless look. "This is my first time in Hangzhou, both in real life and in the game. There are only a few places whose names I know. Basically, West Lake, Broken Bridge, Leifeng Pagoda, and Lingyin Temple. West Lake is too big, Leifeng Pagoda is a leveling area with too many people around, and as for Lingyin Temple... I figured they might not welcome a Daoist."

There were too many people at leveling spots, but there were fewer people here?

Feeling the strange looks around him, Ye Weiming felt as if needles were pricking his back. "Let's find somewhere else to talk. The way they're looking at me feels like Naruto calling out Sasuke's name."

"Fine. To be honest, I felt it too."

The two of them each unleashed their movement techniques and fled Broken Bridge's territory of couples as though escaping for their lives. Ye Weiming said, "Our mission objectives are the same, so we have a basis for cooperation. But I still know too little about this mission. You've followed it all the way from Wudang Mountain to here, so you should know more than I do, right?"

Yin Bukui said, "What do you want to know?"

"Start from the beginning, if possible."

Yin Bukui said, "If we're starting from the beginning, then we have to start with the Dragon Slaying Saber."

"The Dragon Slaying Saber?"

"Brother Ye, you've heard of the Dragon Slaying Saber too?"

"Of course." Ye Weiming said, "I remember a catchy saying about the Dragon Slaying Saber. What was it again... Ah, right!"

Ye Weiming slapped his thigh. "Dragon Slaying Saber, free with one click!"
