349 Competition (1/2)

When Class One Hall acted against Beautiful Robes Faction, it was the third day of Happy's stay in the crystal mine. The one-hundred-and-fifty-men mining team had already become a gold mining machine for Mu Clan. They gained more than one hundred million taels of silver of revenue per day, and it caused Mu Clan's accumulation of wealth to reach extraordinary heights.

The miners came from Beautiful Robes Faction, Black Rose Clan, and some were hired locally. When they saw their contribution points continue to rise, they were all in high spirits.

The steady income from the second level of the crystal mine allowed them to earn more than what most players outside could gain. They could basically buy one masterpiece per day, so all of them mined the caves happily.

Happy was not idle either. Once Red Coral and Black Rose left, he bought a few low-tier martial arts from the market and practiced them on Stone King. Their realms increased by leaps and bounds!

But he only managed to push one martial art to the tenth realm.

Since he was still hunted by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, he did consider it a waste of his time. At the very least, he was another step closer to learning Shifting Stars.

'So happy right now.'

A messenger pigeon flew into the crystal mine, and Happy happily handed over Stone King to a member of Righteous Sect—it was their turn to lure Stone King around—before moving away from the fight. While he calmed down his surging heart, he opened the letter.

And frowned.

It was One Circle who had sent him the letter. It had a brief description of Beautiful Robes Faction's predicament along with his anger toward Class One Hall. One Circle and the others from Beautiful Robes Faction had already equipped themselves and were prepared to go, ready to head back to Wengcheng to provide reinforcements, and they asked Happy whether he wanted to join them.

Class One Hall's outrageous attack caught Happy by surprise!

Besides, Beautiful Robes Faction did indeed lack the power to protect itself at that moment.

Even though Beautiful Robes Faction's numbers surpassed even Jade Fox Palace, One Circle had led many of their elites to Baokang. Right then, they were certain to not be able to make it back in time for the war.

If Class One Hall truly wanted to attack Beautiful Robes Faction, then even if Beautiful Robes Faction made full preparations, they would not be able to stop the attack. Beautiful Robes Faction, Phoenix Dances, Tea Words, and the others might be in danger.

While Happy pondered about it, he looked up. A group of Beautiful Robes Faction members had stopped mining within the cave and looked at him anxiously. Clearly, they had also received news that Beautiful Robes Faction was in danger.

”Everyone, continue. Beautiful Robes Faction will be fine.”

Once Happy placated the people, he quickly wrote two letters and swiftly sent them out.

Class One Hall should have been doing it as a counterattack to the alliance of the five sects in Baokang. Happy had considered the possibility that Class One Hall would be enraged after he stopped their plans to develop in Baokang County Town. After all, Baokang was one of the few counties that had a vast pool of resources. Yet right then, due to Happy's interference with the situation, Baokang had turned into an unshakeable military camp.

If Class One Hall's Dream Clouds could endure something like that, then he would have to admit that he admired her patience!

After all, all of it was happening right under Dream Clouds' eyes.

Beautiful Robes Faction was swiftly growing stronger, and Mu Clan rose to power as well!

Class One Hall would definitely not wish to see these two factions grow stronger in two different regions and joining together in the end.

Hence…

'So you want to destroy Beautiful Robes Faction, huh?'

Once he became certain of Class One Hall's plans, Happy could not help but feel a chill grow in his heart. He could not help but remember a certain person's figure in his mind.

The attack had a very clear goal. Class One Hall wanted to instantly wipe out all the forces of power in Wengcheng, and they had decided to provoke and attack the hot-tempered students from Beautiful Robes Faction first. If Happy tried to convince himself that there was no one guiding that girl's actions behind her back, even he himself would not be able to believe in his own words.

'You attacked me in my previous life, and now you betrayed all of Beautiful Robes Faction…' When Happy noticed that things had progressed differently from how they did in his previous life, for some unknown reason, he felt a little relieved and relaxed, but also strangely hurt.

At that moment, he was certain that Xu Yao, who had been his girlfriend for more than two years in his previous life, had some form of connection with Class One Hall since the start. Perhaps that connection was even that person.
