Chapter 565: 565
‘It’s a pretense!’
When the group noticed that Lu Mingyue had suddenly retreated from Class One Hall’s battlefield while Mu Clan’s group took action to brazenly approached Dream Clouds and the rest of Class One Hall to take care of the evil cult elder, the dozens of elites watching not too far away finally understood Happy’s real intention .
It was clear that he had taken a fancy of the evil cult elder that people from Class One Hall were fighting, but it was not convenient for them to go up and kill-steal straightaway, which was why he used Zhang Wuji’s answer as a pretense to forcefully and righteously cut in in the name of helping those who walked down the same path as them .
At least Lu Mingyue was sensible .
Mu Clan was getting stronger day by day, and they were showing signs of replacing Class One Hall as the strongest sect in the game . Lu Mingyue knew that Cold Moon Palace could not provoke them, and he did not want to get involved in the fight between two gigantic forces, which was why he resolutely gave up on fighting against the evil cult elder to protect himself .
Without Lu Mingyue holding the evil cult elder back, the four from Class One Hall sensed a faint hint of pressure . It was clear that they were no longer as at ease as before .
When they saw Mu Clan’s elites get closer to them, a hint of indignation and anger appeared in Blood Robes’ eyes .
‘They’re bullying us! They’re blatantly bullying us!’
Dream Clouds and Zhou Yu could see the solemnness and wariness in each other’s eyes .
“Haha! Don’t worry, we won’t snatch the point, we just want some loot . ”
Little North was basically a brain cell in Happy’s mind, and he knew that getting points right then was completely useless for them, so when they drew closer to Class One Hall’s people, he loudly explained their actions .
Because of it, Vast Heaven and his group felt a little more at ease! The group also appeared to be slightly less villainous in the other players’ hearts .
After all, the people here were all top-class players in the game, and they were not lacking in equipment . Everyone was fighting for points, but Mu Clan said that they did not need points, so it was only natural that they received some other rewards for their hard work .

Little Norths’ words allowed the other top players to relax . They were no longer wary of Mu Clan, and Class One Hall also got a good chance to extract themselves from the situation .
“Since our friends from Mu Clan are willing to help, I will gladly welcome it . Blood Robes, baldy, we’ll retreat . Let them handle this evil cult elder . ”
Dream Clouds reacted very quickly . She smiled with her eyes closed, which made her look very charming .
“None of us have any points, and even if we get one point, it won’t be useful . Since Brother Lu gave up, we’ll give up as well . ”
Her words sounded very logical, and once she said them, it sounded as if they had not just attacked and occupied one evil cult elder for their own sect, but had helped Lu Mingyue . Because of it, it seemed like Class One Hall had not been bullied by Mu Clan, but once Lu Mingyue chose to give up, they left as well…
“This woman is indeed good . ”
Wu Kuo, who was in the crowd, thought that Class One Hall would definitely suffer a huge blow . Only when they saw that the situation had actually taken a gentle turn and things resolved peacefully and the people from Class One Hall left in a smooth motion under Dream Clouds’ orders so that Mu Clan could take over, he finally sensed just how powerful was Dream Clouds .
Phantasmal Shadow had a white veil over her face, as usual . She nodded slowly and gracefully, and her voice was airy and faint when she spoke . “With Dream Clouds’ rationality and calmness, she would definitely not clash head-on with Mu Clan within a short period of time . Giving up is the right action . ”
She then paused for a moment and looked toward Happy, who had not taken any action and frowned . “But that man is also very good . He actually used Zhang Wuji’s answer as a pretense to interfere in a righteous manner and force Lu Mingyue to take the initiative to retreat . He’s smart indeed . ”
“That’s smart?” Wu Kuo was stunned . “That boy is clearly against Class One Hall . Now, he’s blatantly kill-stealing and forcing them to give up on the evil cult elder . He already has the title of champion in his bag with the points he accumulated, so is this really worth it for a bit of equipment?”

Phantasmal Shadow’s veil swayed slightly, and a hint of a smile flashed through her eyes . She then explained things in a very conceited manner .
“Naturally, it’s not worth it to break the peace between them for some equipment, but he doesn’t seem to want to maintain peace with someone like Dream Clouds . That’s right, it’s not practical to think about maintaining peace and sharing the resources in the game with someone like Dream Clouds!
“She has a view of the general situation, and she is also ambitious! This sort of person would not be satisfied with the current situation, or else, she would not have done something like attack and attempt to kill the higher-ups of Chivalry Sect in Eternal Peace Temple . After a few months of peace, the people in Mu Clan will have to become wary again . ”
Wu Kuo was dumbfounded as he listened, and he mumbled, “Are you saying that he wants them to be prepared for danger even during peace?”
“Yes . ” Phantasmal Shadow stared at Happy as he stood calmly by the side . “If he really wanted to stir up conflict and humiliate Class One Hall, he could have taken action personally, but he did not . This means that he still wishes to maintain the superficial level of peace . ”
“Then… what is with the meaning behind him saying that he wants his members to be nervous, but also wants to maintain the superficial level of peace?”
Wu Kuo frowned . He felt a little baffled and could not catch up with his little sister’s thoughts!
“If Happy doesn’t take action, it means that Mu Clan doesn’t wish to take the initiative to fight . ” Phantasmal Shadow pointed at a person in Mu Clan’s team and said, “But don’t forget that Thunderous Battle is the one who is the titular clan master of Mu Clan . If he attacks Class One Hall, it will be a signal to that hall . ”
Once she finished speaking, she saw that Wu Kuo looked as if he had understood what she meant, but at the same time, like he had not understood a single word of what she said . She shook her head in resignation and said, “Forget it . I should not have told you those things . ”
Once she finished speaking, she ignored Wu Kuo and left him with a muddled head while he thought of her words in vexation .
*****
When the elites of Mu Clan fought against the evil cult elder, Happy found a rather clean spot on the debris-filled street . He sat down on the ground with his legs crossed and began to circulate his qi .
Lin Xiao and Red Dust were by his side as they watched the people from Mu Clan kill-steal Class One Hall . They felt incredibly pleased by the sight .
The battle at Eternal Peace Temple had allowed them to understand the ambition and brutality of Class One Hall, so they naturally felt pleased with whatever unfair treatment Class One Hall faced . If Happy had not arrived to save them at Eternal Peace Temple, no one knew how Chivalry Sect would have ended right now .
“Happy, say, do you think that we will get along with Class One Hall some day in the future?” Lin Xiao asked .
He met Happy’s surprised gaze, and he could not help but smile and add, “Heh heh, what I mean is that do you really think that Dream Clouds will truly be satisfied with Class One Hall just guarding their own territory and not crossing the borders?”
When he said the latter half of his sentence, his tone became incredibly serious .
Happy’s expression also became stern . He thought about it for a while before he said, “Big Brother Lin, I know what you mean . I have to say, I understand Class One Hall’s ambitions better than you . You don’t know this, but a long time ago, Medicinal Stone tracked a few of Class One Hall’s core members for a long period of time, and he heard many of Class One Hall’s plans to fight against Chivalry Sect .
“Dream Clouds is very ambitious . Aside from Class One Hall, she also has some hidden sects that no one knows belong to her . Class One Hall will not be satisfied with only a few counties to the north… Dream Clouds has other plans, so no matter what, I will continue to be wary of this woman . ”
Happy’s answer allowed Lin Xiao and Red Dust to release a breath of relief .
They looked at each other and smiled . They could sense the level of understanding that some heroes shared between each other!
