Chapter 1072: Reveal the First Clue
“Why did you drag us here?”
Once Happy put Xu Xin down within Mantuo Villa, he stared at the group of people who appeared in front of him in surprise. There were Silver Wolf, Thunderous Battle, Little North, Momo, Phoenix Dances, Responsible Dragon, Rampaging Dragon, Thunder, and the Three Lonely Wolves…
“You wouldn’t be thinking of having your wedding in the inner villa, right? This place is a little small. I don’t think our people can fit in here.”
Silver Wolf smiled and answered, “Of course not. When we sent out the wedding invitations, we sent more than one hundred thousand of them. We definitely can’t exclude these people. The location of the wedding is set at the mountain at the back of the villa. You know that place.”
“That place is alright, just a little crowded.” Happy no longer had the thought of pursuing the matter of Silver Wolf pranking him. When he thought about the people he saw at the bank, he could not help but feel chills in his heart. He nodded seriously. “But you’ve worked out all this while. All that you did exceeded my expectations. You did so well that I don’t know how to describe it.”
“Well, you’re my boss.” Silver Wolf smiled. Then, when Happy glared at him, he added. “Of course, the most important thing is that we’re brothers! Or else, I wouldn’t have wasted so much time on this and found so many people to help plan this thing.”
“That’s better.” Happy smiled. Then, he turned to Phoenix Dances with a puzzled look. She seemed to have guessed what he wanted to say, so she spoke ahead of him.
“Heheh. Practically all the people in the University of South China gave us ideas. I was just in charge of organizing those ideas.
“Don’t even think about thanking us. This is just a small expression of goodwill.”
“That’s right.”
“If you’re really touched, just be sure to be good to our Xu Xin for the rest of your life.”
“That’s right!”
“Xin, if he bullies you, just tell us. We’ll rebel against him…” Phoenix Dances glanced at Happy with a malicious gaze.
The others quickly responded and made a ruckus.
“That’s right!”
“At that time, we’ll make you the clan master and lock him up to be your husband.”
“You’re a genius! Come, shake my hand!”
Phoenix Dances shook Little North’s hand in a show of tacit agreement.
The group joked around for a while before they went back to the main topic under Silver Wolf’s stern expression.
“Happy, the wedding has been progressing smoothly up until now, and we can still control everything, but there is one thing that we must remind you.”
“Hmm?”
When he saw Silver Wolf and the others’ stern expressions, Happy put away the smile on his face. Xu Xin also seemed to have noticed that there was something off about the atmosphere, and she, too, looked attentive.
“The people who came to the wedding exceeded our expectations. Even though we have more than fifty thousand members in Mantuo Villa, and Chivalry Sect, Wind a.s.sault Tower, as well as Wind and Rain Alliance have brought nearly one hundred thousand members to help us maintain order in Mantuo Villa, there are more than one million guests who came here on their own. Besides, aside from the elites we invited, another group of people also arrived.”
Happy was stunned, and he asked, “Which unwelcomed guests came? Why are you so nervous?”
If they were just rather infamous players in the game, Happy believed that Silver Wolf could deal with them. Since he mentioned this so gravely and earnestly, then it meant that the ident.i.ties of these people were not simple.
“We’ll cast aside those evil players who are just average. There are also plenty of top-cla.s.s evil players who came over this time…”
Silver Wolf started reporting a string of names.
Orochimaru, the successor of Profound Abyss Divine Palm.
This was one of Happy’s opponents from a long time ago. However, he had disappeared without a trace recently for a very long period of time, and he never interacted with Mu Clan.
There was also Lu Mingyue, the palace master of Cold Moon Palace and Dongfang Bubai’s successor; Fearlessly Rampant, the successor of Evil Valley; and the Twin Female and Male Demons, disciples of the evil cult.
There were more than five thousand evil players who were on their level, and they were all people who could make babies stop crying with their presences alone.
“These evil players on Demon Influence Rank have offended many people usually, but they have never interacted much with us. This time, they might not have come here to target Mu Clan. They might just be here for the fun.” Happy still had a clear grasp of the situation over here. Even though he had been paying attention to the world three years later for the past few months, he still had the situation over here in control. The infamous players on Evil Rank would not dare to readily offend Mu Clan, unless they did not want to continue playing in the game anymore.
“These people might cause conflict with others during the wedding and interrupt the operations of the wedding, but what I really care about is Cla.s.s One Hall and Towering Palace.” Silver Wolf mentioned two names. “Towering Palace is behaving right now, but Cla.s.s One Hall… Not only did they send people over this time, they’re even personally led over by Blood Robes and Barren Murderer…”
“What else?”
Happy gradually had a grave expression appear on his face. He did not believe that these two weaklings would make Silver Wolf pay so much attention to them. Even though Blood Robes and Barren Murderer were good, there were plenty of people in Mu Clan who could win against them.
“There are also a group of foreigners who came from the neighboring countries to the west. These countries never managed to break free of Wild Wolves, and they have already become places where Wild Wolves have stationed themselves.”
“Oh?”
In truth, Happy already knew about this since a long time ago.
Once Wild Wolves failed in conspiring against the big countries, they went to control the sects in small countries, and due to Wild Wolves’ strength, even though they faced great resistance while they were controlling these small countries, they still managed to conquer them smoothly.
“Has Wandering Know-it-all done a reading on their ident.i.ties?” Happy scowled.
“There’s absolutely no mistake about their ident.i.ties.” Silver Wolf’s answer caused a hint of wariness and killing intent to appear in Happy’s eyes.
Wild Wolves sent people into the Chinese server in this situation, and Cla.s.s One Hall definitely had some sort of connection with Wild Wolves.
With Happy’s understanding of a certain ambitious woman called Dream Clouds, Wild Wolves, the Prophet, and Cla.s.s One Hall might have already come to some sort of agreement to destroy this wedding.
“Are they under surveillance?”
Silver Wolf nodded. “Since we can’t attack them during the wedding, we’ve already stationed people to watch them, and Tea Words is in charge of personally keeping an eye on them. Their words and actions won’t escape Tea Words’ eyes. If there’s a need for it, I will think of a way to take them all down within a short period of time.”
If there was anyone else in the area, they would definitely understand the confidence in Silver Wolf when he said those words.
The best of the elites in the four great sects in the Chinese server were gathered here. Even if Wild Wolves sent all their people, with the advantage of being the best from the bests, Mu Clan would still be able to get a stable victory.
But Happy shook his head. “No need.”
He stopped talking for a moment before he continued. “What are the other segments of the wedding?”
“The emcee will speak. Then, the sects will come up to send you their congratulatory gifts. The time for this segment will be rather long. Then, finally, as the clan master and the bridegroom, you will have to speak.”
Happy replied flatly, “Got it. We’ll watch quietly and see what they’ll do. I want to see what sort of tricks they want to play. If Dream Clouds is bored of staying at Western Region, I don’t mind chasing her out of her final dwelling place in the Chinese server.”
When he said his final sentence, all the Mu Clan higher ups in the area could sense the familiar resolution and the decisive signal from Happy’s words.
*****
A small group of people in the crowd caught a lot of people’s attention on the wedding site.
Cla.s.s One Hall’s Blood Robes and Barren Murderer had both appeared at Mantuo Villa and captured countless people’s curiosity. They stared at them with speculative gazes.
Even though Cla.s.s One Hall had been chased to Western Region for several months, no one could deny the glory Cla.s.s One Hall enjoyed in the past. Besides, Cla.s.s One Hall still possessed great strength and influence even now.
This time, Cla.s.s One Hall had sent two vice hall masters over in a flashy manner to the wedding of Mu Clan’s clan master, and they might actually be thinking about resolving the tension between them. Perhaps they had come with the goal of asking for peace. Right now, everyone in the Chinese server knew that if Happy wanted to, the people from the four sects could easily make Cla.s.s One Hall descend into an even worse situation at any moment they wanted.
Hence, they were not surprised when they saw Cla.s.s One Hall’s people standing in an orderly fas.h.i.+on in the group who were going to be sending congratulatory gifts later.
Blood Robes and Barren Murderer stood closer to the forefront of the crowd. They held winecups in their hands, and without spending even the slightest effort, they could see Wandering Know-it-all standing on the white jade platform in a celebratory costume.
Their gazes were complicated.
Wandering Know-it-all held a transcendent status in the Chinese server.
But ever since Happy achieved all that he did during that war, this diviner who enjoyed great glory actually humbled himself to be an emcee. Even though he did not read a single line even up to this moment, when they saw Wandering Know-it-all standing on the white jade platform, the people in the area all felt that they had not wasted their time coming here, and they were all willing to wait.
This was a privilege Cla.s.s One Hall never got to enjoy.
The two vice hall masters felt jealous, and if they were jealous, the Cla.s.s One Hall members who followed them here were even more jealous.
While they were on their way here, they saw how lively the wedding was, along with how many players from the Chinese server gathered together.
They used a carriage with a jade bell tied to it, then used one hundred thousand s.h.i.+ps that intimidated the crowd to cross Lake Tai, and even booked all of Mantuo Villa to create this wedding site.
Mu Clan enjoyed great power and splendor, but Cla.s.s One Hall could only stay reluctantly at Western Region, which was filled with wind and sand. It was definitely a lie to say that these people did not have any ulterior motives in their hearts.
While they group sized up their surroundings, they began sending private messages to each other.
“Mu Clan sure is really attentive when they organized Happy’s wedding. There are already twenty thousand Mu Clan members in Mantuo Villa serving as the guards and the parade. There are even tens of thousands people in the wedding site serving wine. There’re no tables around, but they still managed to make this desolate place so lively… Beautiful.”
“Darn it…”
“If that monster Happy hadn’t appeared, Cla.s.s One Hall should be the one who has all this! Second-string sects like Wind a.s.sault Tower as well as Wind and Rain Alliance wouldn’t be able to stand above our heads and stomp on us!”
“Hmph.”
“It’s a pity we didn’t kill him in the start.”
The group of Cla.s.s One Hall members naturally did not say these words out loud. They only dared speak to each other privately and quietly to vent the indignation they felt in their hearts.
“But I just don’t get it. Vice hall masters, we’ve already become total enemies with Mu Clan since a long time ago. Why are we still here to give gifts to congratulate him?”
“That’s right. Even if we hand over rich congratulatory gifts, we might not be able to touch the hearts of those people from Mu Clan and amend our relations.h.i.+p with them. Not only will we not get any benefits from it, the Chinese players will also look down on us.”
Blood Robes listened to his subordinates grumble, but he said nothing and did not bother about them. He just moved his lips on his own and just conversed with Barren Murderer privately.
“The plan is progressing smoothly. Our brothers are filled with a lot of grudge, and the Mu Clan members will definitely see it. When we send our gift to them right before the people in the word, even if Wild Wolves take action, Mu Clan will only target them and not connect them to us.”
“Using this sort of method where we do two things simultaneously to lessen how Mu Clan perceives us as a threat… I wonder whether I should say that the hall master is too cautious or whether Happy is too dangerous.”
“Let’s stop talking. There’s a person over who has been staring at us all this while. I think he’s part of Mu Clan’s higher ups.” Blood Robes keenly noticed that someone’s gaze had been fixed on him and Barren Murderer. He frowned a little and quickly cast that person a glance. Then, they immediately stopped talking.
But they did not know that their conversation, which was supposed to be private, had already been completely read by Tea Words quietly, because he knew how to lip read.
