254 Mount Hua’s Summit, Sword Dance Summi (1/2)
Once Happy quickly ate his dinner, he rushed back to his dorm so that he could meet up with Little North, Thunderous Battle, and All-powerful Medicinal Stone outside White Tiger Forest!
”Little North, Thunderous Battle, I asked you about joining Beautiful Robes Faction last time. Have you thought things through?”
”I have no problems with it. Wherever you go, I will follow, boss,” Little North answered firmly.
Thunderous Battle was silent for a little while before he nodded. ”I can join you. It's not very good for me to play the game alone all the time. But Happy, you know as well that I like my freedom. I don't quite like people commanding me. If that happens…”
”I know what you mean. You will just be a member and can move around freely at your usual hours. But when it comes to matters regarding the glory of the faction, I hope that you can provide some help as well. If you can't, there's no meaning for you to join the faction. It'd be better if you didn't,” Happy said while looking at Thunderous Battle.
Happy did not compromise completely because they knew each other well and allowed Thunderous Battle to stand completely above Beautiful Robes Faction. If that were the case, it would be better if they were just normal friends.
Thunderous Battle nodded under Happy's steadfast gaze. He seemed to have come to some sort of realization.
”Alright, I understand.”
He managed to get these two to join his faction without any surprise. Then, Happy turned his attention to All-powerful Medicinal Stone.
The man instantly panicked and quickly waved his hands while crying out, ”Aaaahhhh, kid, don't even think about it. You're asking me, an old man in his thirties, to play around with a group of children? Even though being young is good, it's still too… you know, that. Yup. That's how it is. We'll still be friends in the future and maintain contact with each other, and I think that it will be enough. If you need any help, you can come to me, and when I need your help, I will come to you.”
”Alright!” Happy smiled and did not bother to waste his breath. ”Just now, I received a quest from my clan, so I have to immediately leave for a period of time. Little North, Big Brother Thunder, you can make your own decision. This time, it is a faction quest. I want to bring you to meet up with the people in the faction.”
Little North and Thunderous Battle instantly understood what had transpired.
No wonder then that Happy had chosen to ask them about their intentions right then. He actually intended to leave White Tiger Forest for a while.
”Since I have to take a two-day journey, I won't force you two to come with me.”
”I'm going! Why shouldn't I be going?! I heard that Beautiful Robes Faction's master is a beauty… Heh heh, I wonder if she'll take a fancy to me if I give her a Phantasm Body Movement Skill later.”
”What about the Momo that you've been dreaming of day in and day out?”
Thunderous Battle rolled his eyes at Little North. He remembered that Little North had been constantly talking about how he had not met the girl with the long purple gown again, and that he would definitely confess the next time he ran into her, among other such related stuff.
Little North froze up, feeling embarrassed.
He lowered his head and patted it a little. Then, with the abilities of an Academy award winning actor, he displayed the classic action of Steven Chow and said, ”Sigh… Men who are too popular really have it tough.” His tone and his expressions were very similar to those of the actor, which showed just how great his acting skills were.
All-powerful Medicinal Stone ignored Little North's acting and said to Happy, ”Wuhu will not be peaceful for the time being. Since Fox Cave is gone, I don't have any intentions to stay in this place. It'd be best if I leave this dangerous area soon. You peeps go on ahead, I'll go and try to cause more trouble for Class One Hall.”
Happy nodded. ”Alright, good luck!”
”Yup, luck be with you too.”
Once he finished speaking, All-powerful Medicinal Stone placed his fist against his palm and saluted them. Then, he jumped up, and as if he was led by an invisible force, he landed on a tree. With a few more shifts, he quickly disappeared without a trace.
”What about you, Big Brother Thunder?”
”We're going together!” Thunderous Battle answered in a very simple and direct manner. He brought out his Horse Plate and summoned Hoof Shadow.
The three of them jumped on their horses at the same time.
”Giddy up!”
A loud sound rose a moment after. Thunderous hoofbeats could be heard, and they swiftly crushed the tranquility outside White Tiger Forest.

A day later, at the moment the morning sun rose above the summit of Mount Hua, the first rays of light shone on Mount Hua's Sword Dance Summit, and a grand banquet appeared before countless players…
Whoosh!
There were thousands of Mount Hua disciples gathered on the mountain that could accommodate more than ten thousand people at the summit. They stood tall with their swords held aloft, and their white robes fluttered madly in the wind!
All the people had brightly burning eyes while staring in front of them with stern expressions. The will of their swords rose into the air, even though it could not be seen.
At that moment, the three sect elders stood sternly on the platform across Sword Dance Summit. They inspected the whole area, then one of them suddenly gave an order.
”Prostrate!”
His voice spread far and wide, and it lingered in the air for a long time.
Boom!
