Sword Among Us c1-1268

  "...Heh, I was only joking with you. I told you that no matter what happens on the other side, half a month later, we will organize the grandest wedding over here between you and me."

  Happy's serious answer finally turned Xu Xin's angry huff into a glare.

  But when she saw Happy's tired gaze, Xu Xin could not help but feel her heart go out for him, and she said, "I know that you're going through a lot of pressure at the other side. We can actually ask Big Brother Silver Wolf to switch the time. Besides, I might not actually want to get married to you."

  "It's too late for you to regret your decisions now. We're getting married tomorrow." Happy, of course, knew that Xu Xin was being considerate for him. He instinctively hugged the beautiful woman in his arms, and the elegant fragrance of a maiden instantly swept away all the gloomy emotions Happy brought over from the other world. "From tomorrow onwards, we'll be changing how we address each other. Why don't we start practicing now?"

  "Dream on." Xu Xin slid off and easily broke free from Happy's embrace. "The wedding is to be held at Mantuo Villa, outside Gusu City. They said it's because the scenery there is beautiful and grand, and it's also easy to control the place. Big Brother Silver Wolf has been urging us to take action a long time ago, and they've already completed all preparations over there. If we start heading there now, we should make it in time."

  "Alright." Happy already knew this long ago when Silver Wolf sent him a messenger pigeon. Silver Wolf had asked his friends from Wudang Sect and Emei Sect to search for the best wedding spot over this period of time. It was said that within just two to three days, news of Happy's wedding spread through the entire Chinese server, and many non-Mu Clan members proactively provided suggestions as well as gave Silver Wolf videos of possible wedding spots.

  He ended up choosing Mantuo Villa not only because the scenery was pretty good, it was also because the island was surrounded by water. The environment was beautiful and unique, and when the place was decorated with lanterns, Mantuo Villa was already decorated into a large wedding site

  Also, Happy heard that the number of players who would be going there to congratulate him was astonishing. Even the official developers had been alerted of this. Hence, unless they emptied an entire city or emptied an important sect, it was impossible for them to accommodate so many people. The Murong Clan might be a good choice, but since it was in a city, it was very easy for there to be heavy traffic in there, and there would be multiple inconveniences, which was why Silver Wolf chose Mantuo Villa, which was a sect set up in a wide area.

  *****

  "Clan master!"

  When Happy and Young Yu Yan walked out of the clan prison, orderly and respectful shouts suddenly rose from outside. The entire yard was filled with men and women in red silk clothes. They wrapped their fists and lowered their heads together. The grandiose air from their actions came charging at Happy's senses, and because of how abrupt this happened, Happy was shocked.

  "This is…"

  Happy was just about to rebuke them for fooling around when he saw the people at the front row raising their heads, and he did not expect to see Little North, Responsible Hero, the Three Lonely Wolves, NotaRascal, Rampaging Dragon, and the others' varying grins. The girls at the front row were Phoenix Dances, Wind Chimes, Xu Yao, Glutinous Rice, Black Rose, and Red Coral.

  Most of them were students from the University of South China, and some of them were core members and elites of Mu Clan!

  "Boss, how is it? That's enough pomp and grandeur, right?" Little North grinned and waggled his eyebrows while he sent a private message over. Right now, Ten Thousand Poison Duke, who always dressed up in a unique and strange way, was no different from the normal parade sent to escort the bride to the wedding. He looked incredibly ridiculous and hilarious.

  Happy's expression sank.

  Little North immediately knew that he said something wrong, and he quickly sent another private message.

  "Boss, don't say anything, don't move either. You have to pay attention to how imposing you appear, you know, im-po-sing? I've already asked someone to be prepared to record the entire wedding, and we'll be uploading it to the pay-to-view battle replay system—Ack—"

  The group giggled when they watched Little North cradle his head while he slunk into the crowd as he made a clamor, "Director, edit this one out! Remember that!"

  As Happy watched Little North move in and out of the crowd like a clown, he immediately found himself not knowing what to do with the situation. He just moved his feet and walked out of the crowd.

  The red parade actually started following him neatly in all apparent seriousness.

  What caused Happy to be even more speechless was that the entire corridor of the branch was filled with red flags. Wherever he went to, he only saw red. When he walked out of the main door of the branch, a red dragon was already following him out of the hall behind him.

  When he saw this, Happy felt warmth bloom in his heart. He knew that Silver Wolf, Little North, and his group of friends had definitely spent a lot of time and effort for this day.

  Under countless earnest and expectant gazes behind him, Happy turned around, and under Xu Xin's suddenly shy and uneasy gaze, he extended his hand.

  The group of girls started egging her on and encouraging her. Xu Xin then twisted her waist and jumped lightly on the handsome horse alone.

  "Giddy-up!"

  Without another word, she cracked the whip, and the handsome horse charged forward, shocking the people behind and the large parade.

  "Clan master, hurry up and chase after her!"

  While Little North and the others shouted in surprise, Happy had already released a bark of laughter and jumped on the horse, activated the skill allowing him to become one with his horse, and caught up to Xu Xin, despite the fact that he started later.

  "Brothers and sisters, after them!"

  Little North shouted in a very flamboyant manner. The red parade made up of hundreds of people summoned their steeds with loud poofs. They jumped on their steeds, and like red waves, they quickly chased after the couple.

  In the beginning, many people were puzzled by the red parade that had been blocking the city gates in the entire city, but now, when they saw the joyous red riders excitedly charge out, the entire city immediately rejoiced, and many people discussed what happened among themselves! In fact, some people could not hold back from summoning their steeds to go out of the city and gallop after the group!

  "What's going on?"

  "What happened?"

  "Idiot! The clan master of Mu Clan is going to get married at Mantuo Villa tomorrow! This is the parade Mu Clan formed! What the heck, isn't this group way too grand?! They even spilled out of the entire city!"

  "Is this parade going to stretch from here to Mantuo Villa?"

  "Such a big front…"

  Many of the people in the city were stunned silent for a long time by the parade that went out of the city like a tide. They could only gasp in surprise.

  "Big front? Let me tell you, compared to Mantuo Villa, this is nothing." Someone from the crowd immediately caught many people's attention right when he spoke, and the people around him quickly gathered around him.

  "What is it?"

  "What happened at Mantuo Villa?"

  The player who leaked information saw multiple gazes gather on him, and he cleared his voice smugly. "I can't really say either. Mu Clan is being very mysterious about the wedding. They cordoned off a circular area around Mantuo Villa, and no one is to come and go as they please. Even the Mantuo Villa disciples have all been asked to leave Mantuo Villa after receiving a red envelope. Over the past few days, they have not been able to carry out their clan quests."

  "How domineering!"

  "That's nothing. All the restaurants and inns in Suzhou have been booked by Mu Clan. I heard that they have been booked for three days, and it's even difficult for you to rent a ship."

  "...It's that crazy? Are they really holding a wedding or some
thing else?"

  "I can't say. But Mu Clan already mentioned that they will lift the ban on the wedding day. At that time, everyone can go to Mantuo Villa." The person who leaked the information said this smugly. Suddenly, he remembered something, and he looked stunned before he looked into the distance.

  "Gosh darn it! Why am I still talking to you! I have to follow them and record this! I need to record the parade to my chief-of-staff! I was supposed to follow them and interview them!"

  Once he finished speaking, before the people around him could ask any questions, he jumped on the roof as if there was a fire burning behind him, and with a few jumps, he vanished.

  His words stimulated quite a lot of players in the crowd.

  "Sorry, I won't be training today! Once I come back from Mantuo Villa, I'll let you see the video I recorded!"

  "Wait for me!"

  "There's no way I'm missing this large spectacle!"

  No matter what, World of Martial Arts was not a game that focused solely on training. Many people came here to enjoy the game. When they heard that Mantuo Villa might have multiple people gathered there, and the event would be unprecedented, there was no way they could hold themselves back.

  Many people immediately jumped on the roof.

  *****

  "What's that sound?"

  Many of the people inside and outside the city saw two horses rush out of the city without stop, and they looked behind them in surprise.

  The ground rumbled, and they saw red light attacking their eyes.

  "Ack!"

  "Hurry up and move away!"

  Quite a number of people thought they had just run into a legendary scene of a sect moving out to encircle and kill their targets, and they were so scared that they dared not move. It was only when they noticed that the horses that charged past them were all from Mu Clan that they snapped out of their dazes.

  When they craned their heads to look once more, the countless Mu Clan disciples who charged out of the city had turned into a tumbling, large, red dragon outside. Galloping sounds could be heard in waves, and those rumbles moved to the government-made road in the distance.

  "This is…"

  Many people found themselves dumbfounded in their shock, but they had a vague feeling that something major had happened.

  However, before this group could discuss and think about it, another group made up of all sorts of people rushed out of the city. It was clear that these people's clothes and equipment were not uniform, but their goal was clear. They chased after the thousands of red cavaliers who rushed out of the city, and they followed them without stopping.

  The people at the city gates were stunned once more. They stood by the roadside and just stared at the cavaliers charging majestically into the distant horizon in an endless stream.

  *****

  "These people sure caused a huge ruckus."

  After traveling several miles away from the city, Happy finally turned his head around to get a clear view of just how many Mu Clan members were tasked with the duty of being part of the parade, and he immediately did not know whether he wanted to laugh or cry. There were more than five thousand cavaliers set up from the branch to the city gate, and the large red dragon that formed behind him looked incredibly lively and celebratory, it was like a bright red ball of flames.

  "It's your fault for being the strongest in the Chinese server, and you're even the leader of the strongest sect. Silver Wolf said that if your wedding is too simple and monotonous, it won't be atmospheric at all, and it would destroy how impressive you are as Mu Clan's master. That's why…" The resignation in Xu Xin's voice caused Happy to be stunned.

  "That's why what, exactly?"

  "You'll know if you continue looking."

  Xu Xin left her sentence hanging and did not finish it, causing Happy to have the faint feeling that there might be a greater secret hidden in the wedding.

  "Surrounding all of Mantuo Villa and arranging such a grand parade to escort us is definitely not Silver Wolf's idea. It's impossible for a person from the military to come up with tricks like this. Who exactly came up with this plan?"

  Happy's attention was subconsciously lured away by Silver Wolf and the group's arrangement. The grave mood he brought over from the other world gradually faded away.

  Chapter 1062 - Dispirited Wandering Know-it-all

  When he returned to the world three years later, it had an atmosphere that was completely different from the joyous and high-spirited air in the other world. Right after Happy entered the game, he sensed the grave atmosphere from Wandering Know-it-all's mansion growing and spreading outside.

  In the past, every player would be incredibly proud of the fact that they could enter Wandering Know-it-all's mansion, and they believed it to be a symbol of their status and strength.

  But ever since Class One Hall took control over Beijing, even the people of the sects in Beijing did not dare come to him. Many of his divination disciples had also left. His mansion became much quieter and desolate. When he logged in, he saw Wandering Know-it-all sitting in his pavilion alone while he played a piece Happy could not name.

  When he saw this scene, Happy could not help but suck in a deep breath in silence. He hesitated for a moment before he still decided to walk into the pavilion.

  Perhaps he was snapped out of his stupor because of Happy's footsteps, or perhaps it was because he had long since noticed Happy approaching him, but at the moment Happy entered the pavilion, Wandering Know-it-all spoke, and he did not stop playing his zither. "All this while, I have always thought that as long as I don't get involved in all the affairs in the game, no one can snatch away or replace my title as World of Martial Arts' Wandering Know-it-all. I didn't think that in the end, I was still unable to hold myself back from breaking my vows and getting involved in the conflicts in the game."

  The zither sounds started rising falteringly, but they are harmonious and rhythmic. When they were coupled with Wandering Know-it-all's calm and elegant voice, it actually sounded quite aesthetic.

  Happy did not speak, he stopped walking and listened to Wandering Know-it-all laying his heart b.a.r.e.

  "But I don't regret getting involved in the conflict of the world of martial artists this time." Wandering Know-it-all raised his head slightly. His voice now became more powerful, and he scrutinized Happy's face with an indifferent gaze. "I can't do anything about the ending of the war, but I believe that it's impossible for Class One Hall and Wild Wolves to rule over the Chinese server for too long. But my greatest regret is that Wind Assault Tower will have to disappear from the Chinese server, along with my disciple Wind Chimes." When he played the zither to this point, an arrhythmical note destroyed the rhythm of the entire piece.

  Happy still did not say anything. He just sighed softly in his heart.

  After this battle, Class One Hall worked together with Wild Wolves, and they completely secured Class One Hall's hegemony in the Chinese server. Wind Assault Tower no longer had the power to fight back, and it was only a matter of time before they were completely destroyed, and they would not remain gasping for their breaths for long.

  As for Wind Chimes, even though she logged off to escape from this disaster, with the current situation in the game, it was very difficult for her to survive, since she had Nine Yin Blocked Pulses and was treated as the disciple of Class One Hall's thorn. No matter how good she was, she cannot live long.

&nb
sp; "There is no way for us to save Wind Assault Tower anymore, but I can escort Wind Chimes back to your mansion." While he said this, Happy sat down across Wandering Know-it-all.

  His words were filled with confidence, and it caused Wandering Know-it-all's eyes to light up, but the light soon faded away.

  "Even if you manage to escort her back, it's very difficult for her to step outside anymore, because she has Nine Yin Blocked Pulses. Dream Clouds will take the risk of sending a top-class elite into jail and not letting Wind Chimes easily step out of this door."

  This was the first time Wandering Know-it-all was so pessimistic and resigned in front of Happy.

  Regardless of whether it was in this world or in the world three years later, this was the first time Happy saw such negative emotions on Wandering Know-it-all's face.

  Happy scowled and brought out a pot of wine and two wine cups from his Universe Bag. He filled the cups nonchalantly before he picked one up. "What's the point of being so worried? We'll see how things go with each step we take. How bad can the situation be, anyway? After some time, the situation might become better."

  He gestured at Wandering Know-it-all to pick up his cup, and he stared at the man resolutely. "Wish me luck!"

  Clang!

  Their winecups knocked into each other. Happy then drank all of the wine incredibly frankly. Then, under Wandering Know-it-all's surprised gaze, he rose up and walked out of the mansion.

  "Where are you going?" Wandering Know-it-all finally noticed that there was something off about Happy's tone, and he could not help but get up to chase him out of the pavilion.

  Happy did not turn his head around when he answered, "Of course I'll be returning to Wind Assault Tower's former headquarters. Once I'm done dealing with Class One Hall, I'll send you a messenger pigeon to tell Wind Chimes to log in."

  Wandering Know-it-all was shocked. He did not expect that Happy would immediately carry out with his plan after he said he would do it. He did not even intend to make any detailed plan about it. "But that place is currently a no fighting zone. Even if you go over, you can't do anything about it."
