Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There might be some among the dozens of sect leaders who were close to Class One Hall who knew about Class One Hall’s plan in getting out of Beijing in an orderly fashion, but Dream Clouds had definitely not notified everyone. Since she wanted them to use their full strength to fight against Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect so that they can whittle down their power, it was only expected that she will only tell a certain number of people.
Besides, Dream Clouds will definitely not release this news even at the very last moment.
However, Happy’s act of revealing this piece of news beforehand caused Barren Murderer to panic completely.
A few of the sect leaders in the hall had their gazes gathered on Barren Murderer’s face, which was now as dark as coal.
“Vice Hall Master Barren!”
“Is what Happy said true?”
“How could you do this?”
Wandering Know-it-all stood by the side calmly. There were hundreds of famous people from Beijing outside, and there was no reason for them to suspect whether what Happy said was the truth. Nearly half of them stood up in anger and glared at Barren Murderer. They felt as if they had been betrayed.
The people in the front yard held their breaths.
They watched as Class One Hall’s allies flew into a rage in the hall and leave in a huff. Fewer people remained inside the hall, and Barren Murderer’s expression grew darker.
The Class One Hall members who stood behind Barren Murderer also had very sour expressions. In fact, some of them did not even dare to look at the exasperated sect leaders by the tables.
“Vice Hall Master Barren, you’re the ones who were heartless first. Don’t blame us for being disloyal. Goodbye!” Another sect leader stood up. Once he said those words coldly, he sucked in a deep breath and turned to Happy.
“Clan Master Happy, I will not be involved in the matters pertaining Beijing, and I hope that Mu Clan will also not provoke us.”
Happy said nothing at first. He just toyed with the cup in his hands nonchalantly. “Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect will take all of Class One Hall resource spots before we redistribute them. Mu Clan will not touch all those that do not belong to Class One Hall.”
That person’s turned pale in his silence. Even though he managed to hear Happy’s underlying meaning, he cannot ask for more. Was he supposed to ask Mu Clan to protect Class One Hall’s ally so that they will not be devoured by Mu Clan’s allies? That was clearly not realistic!
“Goodbye.”
“We will be leaving as well.”
Many people decided to not even look at Barren Murderer. They bade farewell to Happy and Wandering Know-it-all before they left, leaving Barren Murderer alone in the hall.
The ones who remained were the sect leaders who received the news, but they did not dare stay for long either. In fact, they did not show any intention to stand together with Class One Hall. They also left like the others and did not dare to stay for even a moment longer.
In the end, there were only five people who remained in the hall.
Wandering Know-it-all, Happy, Responsible Hero, Barren Murderer, and Langye.
Sky Penetrating Tower’s Langye naturally cannot easily break all ties with Class One Hall.
News about Sky Penetrating Tower working closely together with Class One Hall had been going around for a while in the game, and naturally, he cannot act like the other sect leaders, who can show that they had severed their ties with Class One Hall by leaving.
When he saw that the hall had instantly become much more deserted than before, Langye had an awkward expression on his face. He looked at Happy nervously before he picked up his winecup laboriously. “Clan Master Happy, this isn’t the first time we met.”
But he did not continue speaking.
Because Barren Murderer was already staring at them with a face red with rage. His burning anger made him look like a volcano that was about to erupt.
After losing so many sects’ support, it was already impossible for him to complete the task Dream Clouds gave to him. It will be much easier for Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect to move north now. In fact, the local sects in the entire northern section will welcome them with open arms, because they will be welcoming the day where they can get all the resource spots that once belonged to Class One Hall.
The plan Class One Hall prepared through laborious effort was destroyed by just a few sentences from Happy and Wandering Know-it-all. Right now, Class One Hall was completely alone. Aside from leaving this place, they really could do nothing else.
“Heh. Tower Master Langye, thank goodness you stayed behind to talk to me, otherwise, I will really be lonely if I have no one to talk to in Beijing.”
Happy smiled in such a way that caused Langye’s heart to shudder. He quickly replied, “Clan Master Happy, it’s incredibly easy for you to find someone to talk to. The sect masters and famous people in Beijing are all in the front yard. There is already no one here. Why don’t we add another table outside?”
He already revealed his intentions to switch sides and swear loyalty to Mu Clan with that sentence.
“That’s not very appropriate, is it?” Happy hesitated for a while.
“Clan Master Happy, if you have any requests, you can just bring it to the table. I have nearly one hundred thousand people under me, and I need to provide for them as well.”
“As expected of the vice commander for the Embroidered Uniform Guards. You are indeed an outspoken person. I do so like people who get straight to the point.”
“Please tell me what you want, Clan Master Happy.” Langye smiled wanly.
He had the largest share from the resource points Class One Hall occupied, and that was not including his thirteen branches occupying nearly half of the thirty or so resource spots in the north.
However, Class One Hall lost, and they even had to transfer all the resources in their headquarters to West Region. It was already a fact that Mu Clan will be stationed in Beijing. If he did not act smart right now, perhaps with just one word from Mu Clan, Sky Penetrating Tower will lose all their resource spots, and they had to redo everything from scratch.
Right now, he can only be humble and hope that Happy will grant him a path of survival. He hoped to keep one-third—No, he hoped to keep at least one of his branches, one of the resource spots he had, and fifty percent of the resources he had in store in his storage.
“Tower Master Langye, I heard that you have already developed a group of Embroidered Uniform Guards who are of rather high standards, and each of them have the right to capture escaped prisoners as well as martial artists.”
Langye was stunned.
