When he reached the top, a clear voice suddenly rose in the air. "Happy, you didn't take down the Ruyi jade on the door head, and without it, you can't remove the head covering from the bride's head."
The bridegroom froze a little in the air.
At that moment, he had already shot past the door head…
But with a speed as fast as lightning, the heroic Happy dressed in red suddenly raised his hand and seized the air behind him!
Whoosh!
Before the group could react, the large flower hanging at the door head was seized by an invisible power, and it was dragged into Happy's hands.
"Silver Wolf, you bastard! How could you set me up?!"
Happy's exasperated shout caused multiple people in the area to be shocked.
"Who would have the guts to set up the clan master of Mu Clan?"
Then, they saw a Ruyi jade appearing in the red flower in Happy's hands, and when they thought about the name Happy shouted, they immediately had their question answered. They knew that this was definitely the core members of Mu Clan playing a small prank on their clan master.
Quite a number of foreigners looked surprised.
"What's that thing he's holding?"
"A Ruyi jade."
There was someone who was rather experienced in this sort of event, and he put on a reserved but knowing smile.
"Ruyi jade? The name sure is pleasant. What is its use?" The foreigner, naturally, did not understand.
"The Mu Clan members prepared it for their clan masters. It serves as a good luck charm for the wielder to succeed in everything he or she does. Now, it should be the thing used to lift the bride's head covering."
Many people in the group already had their question answered at that moment, and they understood that this was a small, thrilling segment Mu Clan prepared for the bridegroom.
However, to Happy, who had Dragon Capture, he could easily get over this small segment. It was just that he was a little frightened when he heard this as he was flying over.
Many of the players watching by the side had knowing smiles appear on their faces because of the small, unconventional accident. They, too, shouted loudly and clapped.
The lively atmosphere at Mantuo Villa instantly shocked those who were still calmly moving to Mantuo Villa.
They knew that they must have missed something, and many people quickly sped up. They even used their lightness skills to rush over.
If there were too many people, the port would definitely not fit them.
Right then, a lot of them finally understood why Mu Clan decided to move along with the wedding ceremony without stopping to wait for the rest and went straight to making the bridegroom jump over the brazier, because it was impossible for them to wait for even more people to come.
Once Happy jumped over the brazier, he stepped on the fragrant petals that scattered down everywhere from the sky. Then, the bridegroom carried the bride on his back to enter a sea of lanterns while the parade escorted them.
The scenery at Mantuo Villa had always been outstanding. It was like paradise on earth, and once it was carefully decorated by the people, it had now turned into a sea of lanterns. The rails, roofs, and treetops were filled with lanterns. They were exquisite, beautiful, sone with a red light, and gave off a magnanimous air. The Chinese character was seen stuck on the front of the lanterns. They were incredibly eye-catching, and they did not affect the beauty of the lanterns. The people felt a warmth in their c.h.e.s.ts, as if they had walked into their own courtyards.
Countless people chasing after the bridegroom and bride were soon attracted by the scenery around them.
The parade moved while intersecting with each other.
The people also moved.
Many people quickly noticed a reality that caused them to be speechless. They lost sight of the main characters because of the lanterns and the beautiful scenery!
The bridegroom and the bride disappeared.
Many people wanted to head into Mantuo Villa, but they were immediately told by the Mu Clan members that the bridegroom and bride had headed to the place where the wedding was to be held, and if they wanted to walk on this winding path, they would need at least half an hour before they could fully admired everything.
"Is there a shortcut?"
"There's a piece of flat land on the mountain behind Mantuo Villa. You will reach it if you walk a few miles west. You just need to follow along the red carpet, and you will reach it.
"We've set up a banquet over there."
The crowd quickly changed directions.
They did not come here to admire the lanterns, but to observe the wedding of the century. They could not afford to miss anything else!
The news spread quickly, and the situation of the people admiring Mantuo Villa finally disappeared.
*****
The flat ground on the mountain behind Mantuo Villa was originally deserted.
But now, after the Mu Clan members decorated it, it turned into a red sea. Not only was the place covered in red carpets and petals, there was even a huge platform made of white jade at the center. It was like a bit of green in a sea of flowers, and it was incredibly eye-catching.
As the crowd entered, the originally empty flat land on the mountain behind Mantuo Villa was swiftly filled with people.
Wandering Know-it-all was escorted here beforehand. He stood on the white jade platform, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he could not help but have his eyebrows twitch.
Even though he knew that people from all over the place would definitely come over to congratulate Happy, since the clan master of Mu Clan was about to get married, and he also knew that it would be very lively, but there were just a few too many people.
In less than ten minutes, most of the wedding scene, which would accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, was already occupied. The area near the white jade platform was still rather empty, but the other places only allowed a space enough for others to stand. It was difficult for them to even move.
Yet countless people just craned their necks and looked. They did not show any signs of agitation or impatience.
When he saw this, Wandering Know-it-all exchanged a glance with Silver Wolf—he was in charge of protecting him—and Silver Wolf nodded. A loud and sonorous voice traveled out vigorously everywhere from the white jade platform.
"Set the banquet!"
In an instant, the aroma of wine spilled out from among the tightly packed crowd.
Chapter 1072 - Reveal the First Clue
"Why did you drag us here?"
Once Happy put Xu Xin down within Mantuo Villa, he stared at the group of people who appeared in front of him in surprise. There were Silver Wolf, Thunderous Battle, Little North, Momo, Phoenix Dances, Responsible Dragon, Rampaging Dragon, Thunder, and the Three Lonely Wolves…
"You wouldn't be thinking of having your wedding in the inner villa, right? This place is a little small. I don't think our people can fit in here."
Silver Wolf smiled and answered, "Of course not. When we sent out the wedding invitations, we sent more than one hundred thousand of them. We definitely can't exclude these people. The location of the wedding is set at the mountain at the back of the villa. You know that place."
"That place is alright, just a little crowded." Happy no longer had the thought of pursuing the matter of Silver Wolf pranking him. When he thought about the people he saw at the bank, he could not help but feel chills in his heart. He nodded seriously. "But you've worked out all this while. All that you did exceeded my expectations. You did so well that I don't know how to describe it."
"Well, you're my boss." Silver Wolf smiled. Then, when Happy glared at him, he added. "Of course, the most important thing is that we're brothers! Or else, I wouldn't have wasted so much time on this and found so many people to help plan this thing."
"That's better." Happy smiled. Then, he turned to Phoenix Dances with a puzzled look. She seemed to have guessed what he wanted to say, so s
he spoke ahead of him.
"Heheh. Practically all the people in the University of South China gave us ideas. I was just in charge of organizing those ideas.
"Don't even think about thanking us. This is just a small expression of goodwill."
"That's right."
"If you're really touched, just be sure to be good to our Xu Xin for the rest of your life."
"That's right!"Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/sword-among-us_13772664505174105/reveal-the-first-clue_49538479293516673 for visiting.
"Xin, if he bullies you, just tell us. We'll rebel against him…" Phoenix Dances glanced at Happy with a malicious gaze.
"That's right!"
"At that time, we'll make you the clan master and lock him up to be your husband."
"You're a genius! Come, shake my hand!"
Phoenix Dances shook Little North's hand in a show of tacit agreement.
The group joked around for a while before they went back to the main topic under Silver Wolf's stern expression.
"Happy, the wedding has been progressing smoothly up until now, and we can still control everything, but there is one thing that we must remind you."
"Hmm?"
When he saw Silver Wolf and the others' stern expressions, Happy put away the smile on his face. Xu Xin also seemed to have noticed that there was something off about the atmosphere, and she, too, looked attentive.
"The people who came to the wedding exceeded our expectations. Even though we have more than fifty thousand members in Mantuo Villa, and Chivalry Sect, Wind Assault Tower, as well as Wind and Rain Alliance have brought nearly one hundred thousand members to help us maintain order in Mantuo Villa, there are more than one million guests who came here on their own. Besides, aside from the elites we invited, another group of people also arrived."
Happy was stunned, and he asked, "Which unwelcomed guests came? Why are you so nervous?"
If they were just rather infamous players in the game, Happy believed that Silver Wolf could deal with them. Since he mentioned this so gravely and earnestly, then it meant that the identities of these people were not simple.
"We'll cast aside those evil players who are just average. There are also plenty of top-class evil players who came over this time…"
Silver Wolf started reporting a string of names.
Orochimaru, the successor of Profound Abyss Divine Palm.
This was one of Happy's opponents from a long time ago. However, he had disappeared without a trace recently for a very long period of time, and he never interacted with Mu Clan.
There was also Lu Mingyue, the palace master of Cold Moon Palace and Dongfang Bubai's successor; Fearlessly Rampant, the successor of Evil Valley; and the Twin Female and Male Demons, disciples of the evil cult.
There were more than five thousand evil players who were on their level, and they were all people who could make babies stop crying with their presences alone.
"These evil players on Demon Influence Rank have offended many people usually, but they have never interacted much with us. This time, they might not have come here to target Mu Clan. They might just be here for the fun." Happy still had a clear grasp of the situation over here. Even though he had been paying attention to the world three years later for the past few months, he still had the situation over here in control. The infamous players on Evil Rank would not dare to readily offend Mu Clan, unless they did not want to continue playing in the game anymore.
"These people might cause conflict with others during the wedding and interrupt the operations of the wedding, but what I really care about is Class One Hall and Towering Palace." Silver Wolf mentioned two names. "Towering Palace is behaving right now, but Class One Hall… Not only did they send people over this time, they're even personally led over by Blood Robes and Barren Murderer…"
"What else?"
Happy gradually had a grave expression appear on his face. He did not believe that these two weaklings would make Silver Wolf pay so much attention to them. Even though Blood Robes and Barren Murderer were good, there were plenty of people in Mu Clan who could win against them.
"There are also a group of foreigners who came from the neighboring countries to the west. These countries never managed to break free of Wild Wolves, and they have already become places where Wild Wolves have stationed themselves."
"Oh?"
In truth, Happy already knew about this since a long time ago.
Once Wild Wolves failed in conspiring against the big countries, they went to control the sects in small countries, and due to Wild Wolves' strength, even though they faced great resistance while they were controlling these small countries, they still managed to conquer them smoothly.
"Has Wandering Know-it-all done a reading on their identities?" Happy scowled.
"There's absolutely no mistake about their identities." Silver Wolf's answer caused a hint of wariness and killing intent to appear in Happy's eyes.
Wild Wolves sent people into the Chinese server in this situation, and Class One Hall definitely had some sort of connection with Wild Wolves.
With Happy's understanding of a certain ambitious woman called Dream Clouds, Wild Wolves, the Prophet, and Class One Hall might have already come to some sort of agreement to destroy this wedding.
"Are they under surveillance?"
Silver Wolf nodded. "Since we can't attack them during the wedding, we've already stationed people to watch them, and Tea Words is in charge of personally keeping an eye on them. Their words and actions won't escape Tea Words' eyes. If there's a need for it, I will think of a way to take them all down within a short period of time."
If there was anyone else in the area, they would definitely understand the confidence in Silver Wolf when he said those words.
The best of the elites in the four great sects in the Chinese server were gathered here. Even if Wild Wolves sent all their people, with the advantage of being the best from the bests, Mu Clan would still be able to get a stable victory.
But Happy shook his head. "No need."
He stopped talking for a moment before he continued. "What are the other segments of the wedding?"
"The emcee will speak. Then, the sects will come up to send you their congratulatory gifts. The time for this segment will be rather long. Then, finally, as the clan master and the bridegroom, you will have to speak."
Happy replied flatly, "Got it. We'll watch quietly and see what they'll do. I want to see what sort of tricks they want to play. If Dream Clouds is bored of staying at Western Region, I don't mind chasing her out of her final dwelling place in the Chinese server."
When he said his final sentence, all the Mu Clan higher ups in the area could sense the familiar resolution and the decisive signal from Happy's words.
*****
A small group of people in the crowd caught a lot of people's attention on the wedding site.
Class One Hall's Blood Robes and Barren Murderer had both appeared at Mantuo Villa and captured countless people's curiosity. They stared at them with speculative gazes.
Even though Class One Hall had been chased to Western Region for several months, no one could deny the glory Class One Hall enjoyed in the past. Besides, Class One Hall still possessed great strength and influence even now.
This time, Class One Hall had sent two vice hall masters over in a flashy manner to the wedding of Mu Clan's clan master, and they might actually be thinking about resolving the tension between them. Perhaps they had come with the goal of asking for peace. Right now, everyone in the Chinese server knew that if Happy wanted to, the people from the four sects could easily make Class One Hall descend into an even worse situation at any moment they wanted.
Hence, they were not surprised when they saw Class One Hall's people standing in an orderly fashion in the group who were going to be sending congratulatory gifts later.
Blood
Robes and Barren Murderer stood closer to the forefront of the crowd. They held winecups in their hands, and without spending even the slightest effort, they could see Wandering Know-it-all standing on the white jade platform in a celebratory costume.
Their gazes were complicated.
Wandering Know-it-all held a transcendent status in the Chinese server.
But ever since Happy achieved all that he did during that war, this diviner who enjoyed great glory actually humbled himself to be an emcee. Even though he did not read a single line even up to this moment, when they saw Wandering Know-it-all standing on the white jade platform, the people in the area all felt that they had not wasted their time coming here, and they were all willing to wait.
This was a privilege Class One Hall never got to enjoy.
While they were on their way here, they saw how lively the wedding was, along with how many players from the Chinese server gathered together.
They used a carriage with a jade bell tied to it, then used one hundred thousand sh.i.p.s that intimidated the crowd to cross Lake Tai, and even booked all of Mantuo Villa to create this wedding site.
Mu Clan enjoyed great power and splendor, but Class One Hall could only stay reluctantly at Western Region, which was filled with wind and sand. It was definitely a lie to say that these people did not have any ulterior motives in their hearts.
While they group sized up their surroundings, they began sending private messages to each other.
"Mu Clan sure is really attentive when they organized Happy's wedding. There are already twenty thousand Mu Clan members in Mantuo Villa serving as the guards and the parade. There are even tens of thousands people in the wedding site serving wine. There're no tables around, but they still managed to make this desolate place so lively… Beautiful."
"Darn it…"
"If that monster Happy hadn't appeared, Class One Hall should be the one who has all this! Second-string sects like Wind Assault Tower as well as Wind and Rain Alliance wouldn't be able to stand above our heads and stomp on us!"
