296 Meeting Old Friends (2/2)

A month ago, there were only a few weaklings left in the sect, which had reached its last days.

When he heard that, Happy finally remembered that he had been ambushed by Heaven Domination Sect during his journey when protecting the tribute. At that time, he had even made the decision to destroy Heaven Domination Sect when he returned. By the looks of it now, there was no need for that. Heaven Domination Sect was completely ruined.

”Eldest Senior Brother, lately, Dragon Tiger Sect has been growing stronger and stronger, and they're already showing signs of becoming the strongest sect in Gusu City!”

That was what Whirlwind Young Li said when they sat down in Jade Gate Restaurant.

”But Nine-tattooed Dragon really knows how to act. He restricts his sect members quite well, and they do not cause trouble while they're outside. They're also very polite to all of us from the Murong Clan.”

”Oh?”

Happy quirked an eyebrow at that. Last time, Dragon Tiger Sect's master had indeed placed restrictions on his sect members, but it had to have been quite hard to keep them up until then.

”That's true,” Orchid Researcher said excitedly. ”Every single time we go out and search for a place to train, the people from Dragon Tiger Sect will call Whirlwind Young Li Big Brother Wind and make way for us. Then, Young Li will be so smug.”

”Researcher, what are you saying? I'd forgive you if you said all this embarrassing stuff in front of other people, but why did you say that to our eldest senior brother? They're doing that because they respect our eldest senior brother, you know?” Whirlwind Young Li glared at Orchid Researcher while looking very embarrassed.

Happy could not help but smile. ”Where's Eastern Green Gate and the others?”

”Ah… they should be doing quests. Eastern is seriously very powerful right now. Not only is he in Mystical Realm, but he also obtained four high-tier martial arts from his master. He's much more powerful than us. Right now, he's the leader of Gusu's Six Swordsmen.”

”Gusu's Six Swordsmen?” Happy was stunned.

Whirlwind Young Li then put on an embarrassed and awkward expression.

”This is what happened. We thought that others will definitely say we're tooting our own horn if we asked you to join our party after you created such a great name for yourself. So, Eastern, Azure Wolf, Xuan Kun, Xuan Zhong, Qian Kunzi, and I formed a six-man party. We intended to explore the game in the future and catch up to you. Right now… hehe, we can be considered to have some degree of success. We're known as Gusu's Six Swordsmen.”

”Not bad.” Happy smiled and lifted his wine cup. ”A toast to Gusu's Six Swordsmen. Come, cheers!”

The group responded loudly.

Once they drank, the atmosphere became lively.

Whirlwind Young Li summoned his courage and said boldly, ”Eldest senior brother, I have to say, one day, I, Young Li, will definitely make my way to the Famous People Rank like you. I will definitely fight until I become famous!”

While they laughed, another toast was naturally born.

”Eldest senior brother, I've been thinking about something all this while.” After they drank three full pots, Whirlwind Young Li suddenly stared at Happy. ”Look at you. You're now insanely famous, but sometimes, I think that you're really weird. Over this period of time, you never joined or built any sect. You didn't even join Chivalry Sect, which is both famous and powerful. You only care about becoming stronger. You look like you have a goal, but we really can't understand what you're trying to do.”

”I think I'm living a pretty good life right now.”

Happy's face was as calm as ever while he poured himself a cup of wine with a smile.

”I don't think that's good, truly! Eastern and I have been waiting since a long time ago in hopes that you'll build a sect! Last time, you could push that task away, but now, you have fame, power, wealth, and you have a good head on your shoulders! You have everything, and we're just waiting for you to spread your wings and fly! Forget about Gusu City, you can even build your own empire spreading over all of Jiangnan!”

Eleventh Crane and the others by the table also stared at Happy with expectation...
