Dominating the Pugilistic World With My Detective Skills
Chapter 47 - 47 47 The Strength of Little Soy Milk

47: Chapter 47: The Strength of Little Soy Milk 47: Chapter 47: The Strength of Little Soy Milk Editor: Henyee Translations Ye Weiming had made up his mind to kill, but his opponent had no wish to engage in a battle where both would end up losing.

But he had no choice.

Although Ye Weiming could not outright defeat his opponent, he had control of the fight.

He attacked and retreated at will while his opponent could do nothing but follow his toll, incapable of devising a strategy to counter him.

Just when the battle seemed inevitably headed for a mutual loss, a loud shout came from the woods: “Stop!

We’re all on the same side.

Don’t spoil the harmony.”

The fight, already far along, would not stop because of a single person’s words.

However, at the same time as the shout rang in their ears, a white figure had already rushed between the two fighters.

His right hand held a color slightly yellow towel.

He suddenly whipped it directly at Ye Weiming’s bamboo sword.

With his inner strength boosting it, the soft towel seemed to turn into a flexible whip, fiercely lashing on the bamboo sword.

“Clang!” The sound of the towel colliding with the bamboo sword echoed like the high-pitched cry of a sword.

Ye Weiming, who bore the brunt of the attack, felt a choking sensation in his chest and took a step back, unable to stop himself from retreating three steps backwards.

Meanwhile, the newcomer’s left sleeve, inflated by his inner strength, swished through the air, sending ten projectiles flying away.

Once they were on the ground, all three of them stood their ground.

Ye Weiming finally took a closer look at the two people.

The person who had stopped them from destroying each other was none other than Soymilk Xiaobai – the one Ye Weiming had pursued.

He had not expected that a seemingly ordinary fellow would possess such frightening capabilities.

And the one who had sneakily attacked him was likely a disciple of the Tang Sect, a male one unlike Youyou.

Of course, gender was not the point.

The point was that he was fully dressed in Tang Sect attire, as neat as the representatives from the schools whom he had first seen in Novice Village.

It was not easy to gain Sect contribution points.

Even after a dozen more days from their first encounter, any non-constable player who could put together a full set of Sect equipment was undoubtedly considered a master in the game.

Who was this person?

After a while of sizing each other up, Soymilk Xiaobai, as the middleman, broke the silence first: “Little brother Ye Weiming, it’s been more than half a month since we parted in Du Kang Village.

Was it nostalgia that led you to keep following me?”

“Haha, Brother Xiaobai, you’ve guessed it right!” Having seen the terrifying power of Soymilk Xiaobai, Ye Weiming shamelessly raised his thumb up in approval, swiftly changing the subject to the disciple from Tang Sect, “Brother Xiaobai, it’s great to see how well you are doing now.

Even a soymilk delivery for you comes with a bodyguard.”

If Soymilk Xiaobai wanted to explain, he needed to tell them about the origins of the Tang Sect disciple.

Heh heh, and that’s exactly what Ye Weiming wanted.

You know who I am by now, but I still don’t know your name.

It’s unfair!

Seeing Ye Weiming steer the topic towards him, the Tang disciple showed a knowing smile on his face, readily introducing himself, “I’m Tang Sanci.

I’m here to protect Brother Xiaobai because of a mission.

If Brother Ye doesn’t carry a mission, please don’t continue following us, or it would make things complicated for me.”

“Oh?” Ye Weiming raised an eyebrow, “In what way would it be complicated?”

Tang Sanci shrugged, “Because I can’t beat you.”

His answer paid much respect to Ye Weiming.

In reality, from their earlier exchange, it was evident that if Ye Weiming really committed himself to fight to the end, victory would come at a great cost.

It could potentially be a long and exhausting battle!

Under these circumstances, Tang Sanci, as a top-tier master of the Tang Sect, took the initiative to step down.

The way to a peaceful retreat was paved for Ye Weiming.

If he didn’t feel like further hassling himself andpreferred a graceful exit, he could do so right now.

From this simple sentence, it can be inferred that Tang Sanci, despite his well-known reputation, was still quite adept at handling human relationships.

Or perhaps, this mission was extremely important to him, maybe even more than his own pride?

In actuality, after witnessing the skills of Soymilk Xiaobai, Ye Weiming had already given up his plan to inspect the food hygiene.

Seeing Tang Sanci so insightful, he planned to seize the opportunity to step down.

However, Soymilk Xiaobai, who had been the middleman all along, suddenly suggested, “Young brother Ye Weiming has greatly improved his skills.

Since we bumped into each other, it’s a matter of fate.

Why not join us on our mission?”

Before Ye Weiming could respond, a familiar system sound rang in his head.

Ding!

You’ve triggered the hidden mission “Protect Little Bai,” would you like to accept?

Yes/No

Protect Little Bai

Mission Level: Five-Star

According to clues Tang Sanci possesses, someone has set a trap with the intent to backstab the honest Soymilk Xiaobai.

As a constable in the Divine Constabulary, it is your duty to protect the safety of tax-abiding citizens.

Mission Reward: 10,000 Experience Points, 1000 Cultivation Points, randomly upgrade one Martial Art by one Level!

What a generous reward for this mission!

The experience points and cultivation points were good, but the upgrade of one martial art by one level was the real jackpot!

It was equivalent to a few thousand cultivation points!

While excited, Ye Weiming chose to accept the mission.

Then, shrugging his shoulders, he said to Tang Sanci with a smile, “Now that we’re all in the same boat, can you share the mission clues with me?”

The expression on Tang Sanci’s face at that moment was priceless.

This mission to protect Little Bai was something he had to complete several prerequisite missions to trigger, but Ye Weiming casually shared the mission without seeking his permission.

How could he not be distressed!

It wasn’t about not wanting less, it’s about fairness!

Though he knew Ye Weiming’s addition wouldn’t diminish his mission reward and in fact, having another master along could make the mission go smoother, Tang Sanci was still upset about it.

Being a master himself, Tang Sanci knew how to let things go.

After a brief moment of distress, he welcomed Ye Weiming, albeit unenthusiastically.

By this time, Soymilk Xiaobai had picked up his load and Ah Huang, whom Ye Weiming had hidden earlier, happily followed.

As they continued toward Du Kang Village, Tang Sanci casually began to explain the mission: “I learned about someone trying to backstab Brother Xiaobai through another mission.

I heard it was an old enemy.

The enemy knows Brother Xiaobai is selling soymilk in Luoyang.

So, he planned to lure him out of the city and ambush him.”

“Wealthy Zhao was celebrating the birth of his grandson in Peony Village.

However, he specified that he wanted Brother Bai to deliver soymilk.

When I found Brother Xiaobai, he already received the down payment and couldn’t back out…”

Ye Weiming nodded slowly, “In simpler terms, Wealthy Zhao has money, had a grandson…

wait!”

Mid-sentence, Ye Weiming suddenly turned pale and sternly warned, “There are visible signs of someone tampering with the road ahead, and the trees on both sides have unnatural bends.

If observed carefully, you can see an obvious wire between the leaves.

It’s hidden three inches above the ground.”

“The trap Brother Sanci mentioned must be ahead!”
