Unless, You Laugh a Few Times

"What?"

The Divine Calculator Fang Wu was taken aback.

"Senior brother, your eyes!!!" The followers crowded around and roared in anger after seeing Fang Wu's miserable state.

"Who on earth dares to commit such a heinous act within the sacred grounds?!"

"Could it be the Holy Son?!"

"Senior Brother Fang, rest assured, no matter what happens, we will follow you, stand with you through thick and thin, and avenge you!"

The Divine Calculator: "..."

"No one harmed me; it was all my own doing..."

"Senior brother! We know you don't want us to be in danger. After all, someone who can injure you like this is definitely not someone we can match!"

"But a true man in this world has things he will do and things he will not do; how can we..."

The Divine Calculator: "(⊙o⊙)..."

"You've misunderstood. I'm very happy, extremely happy, because this is a wonderful thing for me, and no one has hurt me!"

He could only helplessly emphasize and explain his situation.

However...

Although he was willing to speak, people were not willing to listen.

Upon hearing this, several followers immediately became serious. "Senior Brother Fang, is the opponent so powerful that you can't even afford to offend them, and you have no choice but to accept your defeat and let it go?"

"What are you talking about?!"

The Divine Calculator was nearly driven mad.

I've been talking for ages, are you guys even listening? Even if you can't listen, don't start thinking nonsense and spouting rubbish, okay?!

What did I do?

Why do you have to assume I was beaten up like this?!

He said dejectedly, "I told you, no one hurt me. It's all because of my own cultivation. It may look a bit miserable, but actually I'm very happy, extremely happy!"

"Do you understand? Because I am about to achieve the pinnacle of my divine power..."

Followers: "(ˉ__￣)..."

"Senior Brother Fang, are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious!" The Divine Calculator had a terrible headache.

"We don't believe it! Senior Brother Fang, you must not want us to put ourselves in danger, so you did this... Senior Brother Fang, please don't do this, we would rather die a glorious death than live a shameful life!"

The Divine Calculator: "... What do I have to do for you to believe what I'm saying?"

The followers looked at each other in bewilderment. Among them, Yu Huo, as one of the most outstanding followers of the Divine Calculator, had a sudden inspiration and said, "Senior Brother Fang, since you say you are very happy at the moment, why don't you laugh a few times from the bottom of your heart?"

The Divine Calculator was stunned. "???"

"Senior Brother Fang, if you are truly happy, then a hearty laugh from the bottom of your heart would be easy for you. But if you can't laugh... how can we trust you?"

"We know you mean well, but a subject must die for his master! Although you are not our master, we share the same fate, whether we are honored or disgraced."

"How can we allow you, Senior Brother, to suffer such humiliation?"

The Divine Calculator: "..."

I was completely dumbfounded! Could this even be possible?!

However, Yu Huo the Divine Calculator remained silent, Yu Huo immediately said, "Indeed, Senior Brother Fang didn't want us to put ourselves in danger, so he..."

"But senior brother, it's fine if you don't tell me. You're not the only one who knows about this. We can just go and ask!"

"Feng Ru, you escort Senior Brother Fang back to heal his injuries. We'll... be right back!"

Yu Huo and his followers were all extremely loyal.

Even knowing that their opponent could defeat the Divine Calculator so badly, and that they were no match for them, they still did not back down. Instead, they immediately went to find someone to ask what had happened...

"Senior Brother Fang, I'll take you back."

Feng Ru had only recently become a follower and was not very strong, so at this moment he could only be responsible for sending the Divine Calculator back.

However...

What kind of mess is this?!

The Divine Calculator was extremely annoyed. He rubbed his temples and called out to Yu Huo and the others, "Wait... I... I'll laugh!"

At this moment, the Divine Calculator felt extremely frustrated.

If it were anyone else, he would have already turned and left, not bothering to pay them any attention.

But these people happen to be his followers, and they are all loyal. He can't just stand by and watch them cause trouble, can he?

If they really investigate, wouldn't they end up fighting with Dan Chengzi?

Let them fight if they want. What if something goes wrong? Will I still be able to hone my Fiery Eyes of Truth later?

Left with no other choice, the Divine Calculator could only... laugh.

It's just a few heartfelt, genuine laughs, what's the big deal!

I was in a good mood to begin with, and if you guys hadn't stopped me, I would have burst out laughing!

The Divine Calculator was speechless and could only stop them, saying that he wanted to laugh.

Yu Huo was stunned for a moment, then immediately moved. "Senior Brother, you can even endure such grievances for our sake. We would gladly die for you. It is truly our honor to follow you, Senior Brother Fang!"

"But you absolutely mustn't wrong yourself like this for our sake. Look, although you say you're happy, you can't seem to smile. We know you're forcing a laugh to protect us..."

The Divine Calculator was completely dumbfounded, and inwardly he was about to go crazy. "..."

Why the hell am I not laughing?

Don't you guys have any idea why I'm not laughing?!

I'm fucking...

Seeing that Yu Huo was about to lead his men to cause trouble, the Divine Calculator could only hurriedly think of all sorts of happy things, especially since he had made progress in cultivating his Fiery Eyes of Truth of Truth. Perhaps soon, his divination skills would be able to advance further because of his Fiery Eyes of Truth of Truth...

By then...

Once my cultivation level increases, who in the world can surpass me in divination and fortune-telling skills?

In this field, I must be number one!

Hahahaha!!!

Yu Huo and the others were about to leave, the Divine Calculator smiled—a genuine, heartfelt smile, a hearty laugh...

Yu Huo and the others immediately stopped their flying swords, turned around in utter astonishment, and looked at the Divine Calculator.

"Senior Brother Yu, Senior Brother Fang is... genuinely laughing from the bottom of his heart!"

"That's right, Senior Brother Yu, did we guess wrong?"

"Could it be that no one really hurt Senior Brother Fang, and that this tragic situation was caused by practicing some kind of cultivation technique?"

Yu Huo frowned, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly realized!

He sighed deeply, almost bursting into tears, and then cried out in anguish, "What kind of cultivation technique could have reduced me to this miserable state, even blinding me?!"

"But Senior Brother Fang's smile was truly from the bottom of his heart..." someone said, puzzled.

"So what if it comes from the bottom of his heart?! It only shows that Senior Brother Fang has suffered far more than we imagined!"

"I ask you, how could someone in such a miserable and severely injured state possibly produce such a genuine and joyful smile from the bottom of their heart, even if they were experiencing something very happy?!"

"If I'm not mistaken, Senior Brother Fang is probably already...!!!"
