The flowers and trees in the front yard of Wandering Know-it-all's were still there. The elegant courtyard was bustling and solemn for the first time. There were more than twenty tables set up in the spacious courtyard. The people in charge of the sects in Beijing, as well as the famous players in Beijing, sat down in an orderly manner.
However …
Seating was also a little particular.
Most of the people outside were famous fighters in Beijing and the people in charge of some unsuccessful gangs. Those who were rather influential were not in the front yard.
But Wandering Know-it-all personally went to the banquet and exchanged pleasantries with the people in charge of the sects. Instead, he treated the group of people in the hall with a solemn attitude, and that included Class One Hall's Vice Hall Master Barren Murderer.
Once they sat down, their expressions were unpleasant and dark. They were stern and nervous as they stared at Happy, who held his teacup in a relaxed manner. The atmosphere was incredibly grave.
"We'll sit outside."
Clear Music and Musical Note quickly came to a consensus. They found a relatively empty seat and sat down.
This scene was naturally seen by Bai Xiaosheng, but he didn't say anything. He chatted with the people around him for a while, picked up his wine glass, and walked slowly to the Qin sisters' table.
"Your presence brings light to my humble dwelling."
Clear Music and Musical Note were no longer the same as they were in the past. They quickly got up and spoke with a smile.
"Master Bai Xiaosheng is hosting a banquet and we came uninvited. Please forgive us."
"Haha, you're being too polite. I can't even wait to be happy. By the way, Class One Hall's Vice Hall Master Barren and a group of sect masters are in the hall. Would you like to come over and have a chat with them?"
A faint smile hung on Bai Xiaosheng's face.
Clear Music and Musical Note smiled in anguish.
"We appreciate Grandmaster's good intentions, but we feel that the scenery in Grandmaster's courtyard is better, so we won't go over."
They wanted nothing more than to avoid Barren Murderer right now, so there was no way they would be willing to enter the hall.
Wandering Know-it-all smiled as if he understood something.
"Since that's the case, I won't disturb the two of you. I'll go over there to greet the guests."
"Alright."
Nodding their heads and sending Bai Xiaosheng off with their eyes, Qin Qing and Qin Yun heaved a sigh of relief. However, their beautiful eyes passed through the door and looked at the three tables of people in the hall.
…
"Responsible Hero, why are you free to come out today? How is your master? "
"My master has always been in good health. Thank you for your concern, but a guest came to my house yesterday, and my master asked me to come out for a few days."
Responsible Hero sat to Happy's left, and he was the only person who did not feel uncomfortable. He spoke to Happy in a normal tone.
When he heard this, Happy's eyelids twitched.
"Guest? Ximen Chuixue doesn't have many good friends, could it be … "
"My master calls that man Four Eyebrows." Responsible Hero looked as if he was a simple-minded person. His tone and expression did not change in the slightest. "You seem to have a pretty good relationship with me, and I didn't pay much attention to it. When I heard that you came to Beijing, I wanted to spar with you again."
He smiled happily.
"Hehe, it really is him."
Responsible Hero was always immersed in practicing the dao of the sword, so he might not have paid too much attention to it, but Four Eyebrows was the target Happy had been searching for all this while.
As the saying goes, one can wear out iron shoes in fruitless searching only to find it effortlessly by chance!
"Sparring is not a problem, but you have to bring me to meet your master and this good friend of yours."
"You know him?"
Responsible Hero was stunned. When he looked over, he saw a hint of passion flash in Happy's eyes.
"I've been looking for him for a long time."
Quite a number of people heard Happy's words.
Most of the people, including Barren Murderer, had already guessed that the person Happy was looking for was Lu Xiaofeng, the man who was said to be able to catch Ximen Chuixue's longsword and the most amazing heroic constable in the Chinese server.
A storyline quest!
Practically everyone had this thought pop up in their heads.
A storyline character triggered a storyline quest, and they did not expect that when Happy returned from the plains, he would be placed in a new storyline quest. He killed, looted, expanded his territory, and all other storyline quests.
This sort of enemy was too terrifying!
Many people's expressions changed slightly on the spot, and when they looked at Barren Murderer, their gazes sparkled.
"…"
When Barren Murderer saw that more sect leaders had come to the courtyard, his expression turned even more unpleasant.
He had originally gathered the sect leaders who were loyal to Class One Hall into the hall because he wanted to intimidate Happy and let him know that if Mu Clan wanted to get involved in Beijing, they would have to pay a large price!
But he did not expect that once Wandering Know-it-all's invitation was sent, a group of sect leaders who had failed in their ambitions in Beijing and were people who Class One Hall had never paid any attention to in the past had all come.
Many of the sects had even formed alliances in the dark to fight against Class One Hall.
This scene caused Barren Murderer's heart to surge. He could vaguely guess that Wandering Know-it-all's actions might mean that he wanted to use the local power in Beijing to fight against Class One Hall's local power.
He couldn't help but say,
"Happy, today, you asked Wandering Know-it-all to help you invite the famous people in Beijing to a banquet. Right now, most of the people who should be here are already here. It's time for you to stir up that gourd of yours and let us know just what you're planning!"
"Is Vice Hall Master Huang in a hurry?"
Happy's casual words caused Barren Murderer to snort coldly and turn his head to the side.
"This is Beijing, and I'm not even in a hurry. You shouldn't be in a hurry when you're at your own doorstep, right?"
"Besides, the master of this place hasn't started the feast yet, so why would he want Happy to say anything? It's not a good habit to usurp the host's position. What do you all think? "
"…"
The group of people raised their cups of wine and tea, but no one dared to answer.
It was only at this moment that Responsible Hero finally sensed the abnormality in the atmosphere. He looked around and said, "Who are these people? Why are all of them so taciturn?"
After all, he was a young man who practiced his sword all day long and did not pay much attention to the matters of the world of martial artists. Naturally, he did not know the identities of the leaders of the sects who were famous in the outside world.
As soon as he said this, many people's faces turned red …
An enigma.
'A bunch of enigmas.'
All of them were people who could make Beijing tremble with just a stomp of their feet. They had actually been looked down upon by a brat who was still young.
But Happy was right beside them, and they only dared to be angry, but they did not dare say anything.
Happy could not help but laugh loudly.
"Haha … well said, you bunch of enigmas. I'm telling you, each of the people here have tens of thousands of people under them."
"Oh?"
Responsible Hero might not have a good understanding of the matters in the world of martial artists and was a newbie, but he was very smart. When he heard this, he could not help but put on a frivolous and arrogant expression.
He looked at the sect leaders who puffed out their chests and puffed out their heads before he said, "Responsible Hero has been troubled by not being able to find people to spar with. Since you have so many people under you, you must have quite a number of capable people. Why don't you recommend a few of them to spar with me?"
With just one sentence, the group of sect leaders who had puffed out their chests and felt that they had done a good job instantly fell silent. The muscles on their faces twitched, and they did not look into Responsible Hero's eyes.
That included Barren Murderer. When he heard Responsible Hero's provocation, he could not help but have his face turn red, and he nearly twisted his neck to the back. He pretended that he did not hear it.
"As expected of a group of sect leaders. None of them are willing to pay attention to a nameless brat like me." If Responsible Hero had said those words in an aggrieved tone, perhaps the people in the area would have been able to feel better. Unfortunately for them, his tone was very disdainful and mocking, and it caused the faces of the sect leaders to turn red and purple. They could not even drink the tea in their cups.
'What a smart brat!'
When he saw that Responsible Hero had managed to suppress Barren Murderer and the others' imposing manner with just one sentence, Happy could not help but gasp in amazement in his heart. At the same time, he started making plans in his heart.
One month ago …
When he ran into Responsible Hero in Beijing, he showed off his abilities and drew his sword to kill. If the saying went that the way of the sword was the way of the people, then it was very easy for Responsible Hero to suffer setbacks. But now, the boy's presence had clearly become a little more tactful, but he was still as sharp as ever. His sword techniques should have already reached another level and realm.
Right now, Responsible Hero's strength might have already surpassed Silver Wolf's, and he might even be ranked in the International Influential Rank of the Strong. If he could rope him into Mu Clan, he would definitely be a powerful fighter who could defend an area in the future!
"Young Hero, if Big Brother Happy invites you to be the branch master of Mu Clan's branch in Beijing and be in charge of the northern region, would you be willing?"
"Ah!"
Responsible Hero was stunned, and he opened his mouth to cry out in surprise.
Barren Murderer turned his head around mechanically, and with surprise on his face, he stared at Happy. His gaze moved between the two people's faces.
The group of sect leaders in the hall held their breaths. They could not believe that Happy would so easily place the sensitive issue they were the most concerned about on the table.
What was even more unbelievable was that he actually let a brat manage it.
The branch master of Beijing and the person in charge of the entire northern region?
Even though Responsible Hero's reputation was quite great, and he was Ximen Chuixue's disciple. His sword technique was extraordinary, but that was just an empty title.
He could be trampled on by others at any moment, but the person in charge of Mu Clan's branch represented great material benefits and absolute status. That status might even surpass that of all the people in the hall.
When the group heard Happy's words, they were momentarily stunned, and they stared at Happy and Responsible Hero dumbly.
"…"
Responsible Hero also suddenly felt as if the chair under his butt had turned into a needle, and he found it a little hard to sit still.
He originally practiced the sword so that he would not be bullied!
But once he mastered his sword technique, he kept thinking about how he could be as awe-inspiring as Happy and lead the world around him.
But he also knew that with his personality, it was impossible for him to become a tyrant. He needed too much time and energy. This time, he came to Wandering Know-it-all's banquet because he wanted to use the excuse of sparring to let Happy witness his sword technique so that he could enter Mu Clan.
But what he did not expect was that before they even fought, Happy had already placed a huge burden on him, and he was caught off guard.
But Happy's expression and tone made no one doubt the veracity of his words.
"Boss Happy."
Responsible Hero was delighted, but he could not help but smile wanly. "I'm afraid that I'm not cut out for this. I've never managed a few people before, and I can't manage such a big group. Besides, isn't there Master Wandering Know-it-all in Beijing? I don't have the right. "
"Since Mu Clan has developed to this point, we have long since formed our own set of rules and regulations. It's a strict system, and we have a clear line between rewards and punishments. You just need to follow this system and carry it out. Besides, you don't need to do everything personally. At that time, I will send some people to help you manage the branches. What you need to do is to ensure and protect this set of rules and regulations so that the outside world will not interfere with it. I believe that you can do this.
Happy stared into Responsible Hero's eyes with a smile. Once he saw the delight and confidence in Responsible Hero's eyes, he knew that he had succeeded.
A young swordsman had fallen into Mu Clan's hands.
