Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
From the moment Happy used his full strength, his ident.i.ty was exposed.
The people from Emei Sect were not the only ones who recognized him. The players from Wudang Sect and Shaolin Temple had also noticed that the mysterious man’s strength and posture overlapped with that of Happy from the battle replays.
Once they made the comparison, they linked the mysterious man together with Happy.
When she noticed the change in att.i.tude within the people from Emei Sect, Phoenix Dances felt rather resigned. After all, Happy’s fame was very great. No matter how he tried to hide his ident.i.ty, they could not help it from being exposed sooner or later.
Little Jade bit her bottom lip while she lowered her head to think. She was rather absent-minded.
She had imagined many times over about how when she came to the royal mausoleum she would introduce herself to Happy when they met and how she would break the ice between them so that he would pay more attention to her. However, once Happy revealed his astonis.h.i.+ng strength, she became uneasy, and she suddenly felt that the Yellow Dragon Bow was a little heavy.
She did not know how to fulfill the request she had received anymore…
Everyone around her were her university mates and coursemates with whom she was good friends with, and they were even faction members with whom she had gone through many trials and tribulations. How could she actually mention that she wanted to poach Happy from Beautiful Robes Faction?
How would the people look at her after that?
How coldly would Happy regard her at that time?
She felt very confused and disconcerted. Hence, she did not notice that Happy had already ended the fight and was headed their way.
“Congratulations!”
“You do indeed live up to your rank as the top on the Famous People Rank.”
Emei Sect’s Yue Hua stared at Happy while he approached them with a strange look on her face. “Shouldn’t you wipe off the blood and dirt on your face now?”
“Haha, sorry for being impolite.” Happy laughed heartily and wiped off the blood and dirt on his face without hesitation so that he returned to his original, handsome appearance.
The eyes of quite a few people in the crowd brightened up when they saw his face.
“He’s very handsome. Why did he have to make his face dirty like that just now?”
“That’s right.”
“Happy, I’m your fan! It’s true! I’ve watched the battle replay a few days ago about you destroying Five Venoms, and I watched it even a few times! You were so cool!”
“Heh, you praise me too much.”
Happy put his fist in his palm and saluted the girls, but he did not stop walking until he arrived in front of the people from Beautiful Robes Faction.
A person’s reputation was very important.
There were many people who were still clearly shocked by the strength he displayed as well as the merciless manner with which he had destroyed Five Venoms. Many people just stood where they were and did not approach him to talk, such as what Yue Hua had done.
Their eyes were still filled with delight, surprise, respect, and admiration. They watched him from a distance, and that included some of those from the University of South China who were not in the higher level of management within Beautiful Robes Faction.
That distance gave Emei Sect a chance to get close to Happy. The beautiful mistresses admired him a lot, and they surrounded him while chattering nonstop.
“Enough, stop flirting with him. He’s busy, and he doesn’t have any time to waste with you.” Yue Hua smiled and got Happy out of the predicament, but before Happy could thank her, the sentence Yue Hua uttered immediately after instantly changed the tone of the conversation. “If you’re good, make him your man. Then, you can hold him every day and talk to him. We can also bask in that glory, and we can do whatever we please in the game.”
Happy was instantaneously rendered speechless.
When the mistresses of Emei Sect saw that Happy was shy, they were immediately filled with energy.
“Alright!”
“Big Sis Yue Hua, you go!”
“He might still be a virgin, hehehehe…”
Tea Words and the others could no longer hold themselves back in Beautiful Robes Faction’s group. If they did not consider the fact that their faction master’s face had already turned almost red with rage, they might have not been able to hold themselves back and joined in the fun to ask the mistresses from Emei Sect to have a gathering with them.
“Happy!”
The people from Wudang Sect and Shaolin Temple finished treating their wounds by circulating their qi and headed over .
Ouyang Qing came close and placed his fist in his palm to thank Happy.
“Thank you for saving us.”
“Since we’re outside right now, if we can help each other, we should.” Happy quickly regained his composure, acting modest, polite, and relaxed. The heroic bearing he gave off did not lose to that of the heroes of Wudang Sect. “I might need your help in the future.”
Some people in the group originally tried to guess Happy’s age and thought that he might be part of Beautiful Robes Faction, but when they saw his experienced mannerisms and his temperament, they did not think that he was a student from an ivory tower. Hence, they rejected that a.s.sumption.
“Heh, then allow me to be arrogant and call you my younger brother.”
Not only was Ouyang Qing friendly, he also acted as if he had known Happy for a long time. “By the way!” he said with a loud bark of laughter. “We haven’t checked the corpses of those from the three sects. Since so many people died here, we might get quite a huge sum of money if collect the loot from them. But it’s not good if we overstep our boundaries and make the decision in this, so Happy, you should take charge in this matter.”
The others were not surprised at all in regards to Ouyang Qing’s stance on the matter.
Shaolin Temple and Wudang Sect had quite the good opinion of Happy. Besides, the three sects would definitely blame Happy for their deaths in the Royal Mausoleum. If any of the other sects acted without careful consideration and took the loot, they might end up trespa.s.sing on Happy’s personal interests, so they paid a lot of attention to the matter.
“I won’t be able to take all of the loot myself, so how about thi, my friends from Beautiful Robes Faction, could you help keep it for me for the time being and split it into four portions while you’re at it? Just treat it as my thanks for you helping me clear up the battlefield.”
Before the people from the four sects could raise any objections, Happy added, “Everyone, if you have a good opinion of me, please treat this as my gift for being friends with me. How does that sound?”
Everyone was stunned speechless.
Right after Happy finished speaking, the people who originally did not want to get involved in the conflict with the other three sects immediately looked up with delight.
“If that’s the case, I’ll have to thank you!”
“Alright, we’ll take it!”
Wudang Sect’s Ouyang Qing was the first to state his opinion on the matter. Then, Shaolin Temple agreed to his suggestion as well. Even though Emei Sect’s Yue Hua did not say anything, the mistresses of Emei Sect began to nod vigorously too.
Next time, when they moved around in the game and said that Happy was their friend, how cool would that be?!
There was no need for Beautiful Robes Faction to voice their opinion. They used their actions to show their att.i.tude on the matter. They gathered all the items the three sects had dropped, and when they did an inventory check, they found that they had gathered more than one million taels of silver crumbs! Quite a lot of that money came from a few people such as the tanned-faced man and Hidden Soul Guild’s boss.
When the four sects split up the rewards evenly, everyone could get at least ten thousand taels of silver crumbs.
Phoenix Dances held back her urge to speak to Happy. She just watched quietly from the side and stared at his side profile. When Happy talked to the other three sects, her eyes shone with perplexity and puzzlement.
Quite a lot of people saw his face clearly, and when they looked at him at such a close proximity and matched him with the people in the university, a handful of them managed to identify who he was, but there was a huge disparity compared to the few “suspects” they’d had in mind.
Chen Kaixin!
He was a good student who did not have a lot of talent in sports. He also did not have astonis.h.i.+ngly good relations with people nor a great background. He was very normal, and the only good thing about him was his grades. He had actually even failed when courting a girl once.
How could such a person become a super elite whom everyone in World of Martial Arts respected and who everyone aspired to be?!
When they faced Happy, who was very experienced with dealing with people, humble and modest, and whose actions were so relaxed that it was pleasing to the eye, they found it hard to believe that he was really the “good student” who was the Three Lonely Wolves’ dormmate and who was in no way special.
Everyone’s hearts were full of puzzlement. However, their questions never came to light because they soon reached the entrance leading to the second level of the royal mausoleum.
