657 Calm… (1/2)
”Towering Palace's Clear Music has stepped down, and right now, her younger sister, Musical Note has taken the position of palace master. Clear Music has been forced into a corner by Happy.”
Dream Clouds smiled faintly in the meeting room in the headquarters.
”Even though Mu Clan's prestige has increased and turned them into the strongest sect in China in all its literal sense, Happy can be considered to have planted a hidden problem for Mu Clan. He actually didn't seize the chance to completely occupy Towering Palace's coastal cities in the south.”
”Heh.” Blood Robes also had a hint of a cold smile on his face. ”Happy is a very troublesome opponent, but when it comes to handling women, he's not ruthless enough. Ahem, what I mean is, Towering Palace will be filled with hatred for Mu Clan now. Clear Music will definitely be filled with hate as well, and in the future, when the time is ripe, they might become a very troublesome enemy for Mu Clan.”
Dream Clouds said nothing. Her expression turned slightly calmer, and she nodded. ”Perhaps the battle at the summit of Mount Tai will turn into a turning point for Mu Clan.”
She stopped talking for a moment before narrowing her eyes slightly and saying, ”If Happy wins, Mu Clan's reputation will become even greater. No one will be able to touch Mu Clan's position as the strongest for at least half a year. But if he loses to One Emperor… Hmph! How's your progress?”
When she reached the latter half of her sentence, her tone suddenly changed.
”Everything is going smoothly.” Blood Robes smiled. ”It's a real coincidence. The woman who is taking care of Happy right now shares the same surname as that girl, and they're calling each other sisters. Their relationship is incredibly good, and she's often invited to Happy's place.”
”Oh.” A hint of surprise appeared in Dream Clouds' eyes.
”Is the woman taking care of Happy really pretty?”
”She should be pretty good looking.”
”Is there any way for Happy to take the initiative to chase away the woman taking care of him and switching to someone by your side?”
”This will be a little difficult. I heard that the woman taking care of him right now is one of the veterans of South China Martial Arts Ranking Board, and she's a work partner with Happy. I heard that there's romantic tension between them as well.”
”Didn't you say that the person on your side looks pretty good?” Dream Clouds stared at Blood Robes with a strange gaze.
Blood Robes could only smile wanly and explain. ”It's not that I don't want to use her. I heard from her that there was a conflict between them in the past, and things were not pleasant. Happy has some prejudice against her, and there's a barrier between them. Even if it were not because of that woman, it'd be impossible for her to get close to Happy. So it's unlikely to happen...”
”A pity,” Dream Clouds said. She frowned a little and did not say anything else.
”By the way, Dream, we didn't receive any news about Barren Murderer over this period of time. Where did he go?”
”Persia,” Dream Clouds said without hiding anything, ”Did you forget? While we were at Ming Cult, we received a quest item from that side, but the trigger point for that quest was too far away, and I didn't have any thoughts about it, but Zhou Yu gave me a reminder later on saying that while Persia is a barbaric place, it's still the birth place of Ming Cult.
”There are countless elites over there, and if Barren Murderer manages to get Heaven and Earth Great Shift or items such as Ming Cult's Holy Fire Order while he's there, his strength would increase by a lot.”
”Persia…”
A hint of joy appeared on Blood Robes' face.
He still remembered how the Holy Fire Order messengers from Persia had trapped Zhang Wuji and Xie Xun for a long period of time, which was enough to prove that there were some very powerful people outside the country.
