296 Meeting Old Friends (1/2)

Happy had no clue whatsoever regarding Murong Clan's salt ship quest. There were simply too many quests in his previous life, and each clan had countless different ones. They were intricate, complex, and spanned out through multiple regions. However, since it was a quest the Murong Clan Lady had personally given to him, Happy did not reject the quest. He accepted it, and after understanding the general gist, he left the wing.

When he went past the rabbit pen in the backyard, the young Fallen Rain was still fighting with the rabbits. She ignored Happy when he walked past her, and he also ignored her because he was thinking about other matters.

At that moment, hurried footsteps reached his ears. A few people rushed over, and when they saw him, their eyes lit up.

”Eldest Senior Brother Happy!”

”Haha, it's really you!”

The familiar voice pulled Happy out of of his thoughts. He looked up and saw Whirlwind Young Li, Eleventh Crane, Xu Lang, Orchid Researcher, and Dawn Lotus in front of himself.

”Hey, eldest senior brother, you're seriously horrible! You didn't even tell us that you're back!” Whirlwind Young Li punched Happy before he laughed and swung an arm over his shoulder. ”Come on, let's go to Jade Gate Restaurant! We'll treat you to dinner to welcome you back!”

”That's right!”

”I haven't drunk with you for a long time. Now that you're famous, the chances of us getting to drink together are smaller.”

Xu Lang smiled to show his agreement. Eleventh Crane stood by the side with a smile as wlel. He was still as quiet as ever, but he seemed to be in high spirits.

”Why are all of you here?”

The quintet's arrival caught Happy by surprise, but he was happy to see them.

Orchid Researcher quickly cut into the conversation, sounding very excited. She quickly threw out the explanation, but despite her quick speech, Happy got the gist of it.

Once they lost their tribute, they noticed how dangerous the tribute boxes were, and all of them gave up on continuing with the quest. They returned to Gusu City and went back to the Murong Clan. Since they frequently met each other, they quickly became familiar with Whirlwind Young Li. They then drank together and did quests together. Whirlwind Young Li's personality was also to their taste, so they became quick friends!

”We were training together just now. When we heard that you're back, we were worried that you'd leave after stopping for a while, so we hurried back,” Dawn Lotus said softly while looking at Happy.

”That's right, our Big Sis Dawn Lotus urged us to hurry up a few times while we were coming back… Hahahaha…”

”Orchid Researcher, you chatterbox. Stop with the nonsense.”

Dawn Lotus instantly turned red. She moved to pinch Orchid Researcher's ears, but the other girl avoided her hands.

The people looked at each other at a loss.

”It has been a long time since we met. I missed you as well. Come! Let's go and find a place to sit so that we can talk,” Happy said.

They were part of the earliest batch of disciples in the Murong Clan, and when the disciples gathered in the front hall heard about it, they stared at them with admiring gazes while they left Murong Mansion in a mighty manner to head to Jade Gate Restaurant.

On their way there, Whirlwind Young Li naturally did not forget to tell Happy about the situation in Gusu City.

Ever since Happy left, Heaven Domination Sect had expanded and tried to destroy Dragon Tiger Sect so that they could become the strongest sect in Gusu City.

However, they first failed in stealing the tribute, then their foundation suffered damage because of Dragon Tiger Sect's counterattack. Once Eleventh Crane and the others returned to Murong Clan, they worked together with Dragon Tiger Sect to deal a destructive blow to Heaven Domination Sect.

At that moment, the news of Happy rising to the third place on the Famous People Rank traveled over. Heaven Domination Sect instantly felt even greater pressure, and from then on, they were worried every single day that he would return and destroy them. The sect was tormented both physically and mentally, and it slowly fell into decline.
