Chapter 155: Nuomi’s Intuition

Apart from the gang forces and union organizations that were always closely watching Happy’s activities in Zhengzhou for the sake of fame and fortune, there was also a small group of people who were extremely concerned and worried about his situation. Among them were, of course, the many students of Nanhua University…
“The Nanhua Jianghu Ranking” kept abreast of many events happening in the jianghu world. As a student of Nanhua, Happy’s inclusion in the “Famous Figures List” of “Jianghu Secrets” naturally couldn’t go unnoticed by everyone!
Although many people were skeptical of Happy’s secrecy and criticized his refusal to reveal his true identity, they still felt deeply proud that one of their classmates could achieve such success in the jianghu world. Especially after learning that Happy had obtained the coveted treasure box desired by all jianghu practitioners and skillfully manipulated numerous martial arts masters at will, they admired him even more. Their curiosity about Happy’s true identity grew even stronger!
In particular, Feng Wu Caiyi, the leader of the Colorful Clothes Sect, felt greatly reassured upon thinking that such a great figure could join their humble sect, giving her more confidence in managing sect affairs.
“Sister Caiyi, I have a question.”
“Hmm?”
“When do you think Happy will join?” After a pause, that delicate voice snapped, “Those gangs in the city still look down on us. Hmph! I really wish Happy would join soon so we can see if those guys still dare to act arrogantly in front of us… Hmph!”
It was Nuomi, another Nanhua heroine who was close to Feng Wu Caiyi! With a few freckles on her face, Nuomi looked like a delicate and gentle neighborhood girl in real life, extremely endearing. At this moment, her face was filled with excitement and anticipation as she talked.
There was no trace of the resentment she had shown toward Happy during the martial arts conference on her face—this change had occurred the moment Happy stunned Orochimaru from the sidelines. Even Feng Wu Caiyi once joked with her, asking if she had developed feelings for Happy out of spite…
Of course! Whenever she heard such things, Nuomi would promptly berate Happy harshly, dismissing him as worthless, afraid that others might misunderstand her having feelings for him.
As usual, Feng Wu Caiyi took a deep breath, appearing slightly lost in thought:
“Who knows? This guy is really good at keeping secrets. I asked sisters from different majors—about their QQ usernames, MSN usernames, and forum handles—none of them use ‘Happy’ as their name… Those three bastards from the Lonely Wolves Sect don’t know what they’re thinking either; they won’t even tell me.”

As she spoke, she couldn’t help but show signs of anger. After all, she was a prominent figure at Nanhua University—no one, not even the teachers, had ever refused her requests. Yet here she kept running into setbacks in front of these guys; it was unclear what bad luck she had. Watching Feng Wu Cai Yi’s changes, Nuomi’s lively and bright eyes shifted as she whispered, “I heard two new people have been added to the designers of Nanhua’s martial arts rankings…” “I know,” Feng Wu Cai Yi nodded. “One is the roommate of the Lonely Three Wolves, a bookworm who’s extremely good at studying; the other is the beauty of the computer science department, Xu Xin…” “Chen Kai Xin—those last two characters seem to fit…” Nuomi stared at Feng Wu Cai Yi, observing her reaction. “That bookworm?” Feng Wu Cai Yi laughed and shook her head. “Impossible.” “Why?” “Actually, the people in the computer science department suspected him even earlier than we did. But according to his classmates, since entering university, Chen Kai Xin has never played games—he only focuses on studying and has excellent grades. Someone with no experience in virtual games couldn’t have reached this level.” “But he…” Nuomi wanted to say more. Feng Wu Cai Yi seemed to know what she was about to say and smiled, “This time, his leave seems related to Xu Xin. Now that he’s getting close to her, it’s even less likely he’d miss the chance to play games… In short! That bookworm can’t be ‘Happy’ in the martial arts world! Neither in terms of appearance, temperament, nor anything else—completely impossible!” “Oh.” Nuomi nodded silently, but inwardly she wasn’t convinced. She remembered that during several meals in the cafeteria, Happy’s appearance seemed somewhat similar to that bookworm’s. But after what Feng Wu Cai Yi said, it indeed seemed unlikely. A bookworm who only knew how to study and had no contact with games… He was indeed quite dull; it was impossible for him to become a prominent figure in the martial arts world so quickly! “By the way, Nuomi! When you go back, make sure to hurry up and try to master the seventh level of ‘Flowing Cloud Sword Technique.’ Right now, only you and Yu Cha in our Cai Yi Sect have advanced martial arts skills—make the most of it.” After a pause, Feng Wu Cai Yi looked thoughtful. “Once Happy joins our Cai Yi Sect, we’ll definitely have to confront some of his rival forces. Just him alone won’t be enough!” “Mm!” Nuomi’s playful expression vanished as she nodded firmly. … Besides the people from Nanhua University, there was also a small group worried and concerned about Happy’s fate!

These people were Red Coral, whom Happy accidentally saved in an ancient tomb outside Yangzhou a few days ago, along with the Black Rose Family, which paid special attention to Happy. This small faction had not yet formed an organized gang and had no fixed residence; it simply called itself the Black Rose Family. Since the battle in the ancient tomb, they have been continuously gathering information about Happy… After learning that Happy had gone to Songshan and accomplished several major events that shocked the martial arts world, the leader of the Black Rose Family, “Black Rose,” grew even more confident in Red Coral’s judgment. As a professional gaming guild, though not very famous, the Black Rose Family was well aware of the strength and rigor of the First Rank Hall. Happy certainly hadn’t defeated their team just by relying on natural advantages. Without proper strength, who could easily defeat such a team of highly skilled experts? Happy’s achievements only strengthened Black Rose’s conviction in Red Coral’s proposal! Such experts must be brought on their side… In a restaurant inside the city, Black Rose and Red Coral met briefly to discuss how to contact Happy. “Coral, this time, Happy is targeted by many factions and is in great danger! What do you think? How about sending a secret message to assist him secretly?” “There’s no rush.” Red Coral, with a delicate frown, paused while drawing on a piece of paper and pen, then shook her head. “Unnecessary kindness often hides ulterior motives.” “Isn’t now the right time?” Black Rose looked puzzled at the map in Red Coral’s hands, where several red dots marked Happy’s location after each reconnaissance mission. “Two hours ago, his escape route started to become chaotic—moving east and west. If this continues… he might be surrounded by those gang forces.” “That won’t happen!” A faint smile appeared on Red Coral’s face. “His stay time follows a pattern, and his direction is unpredictable. I thought about it from his perspective—if I were chasing him based on the predictions, I’d always miss him. Also… I used to wonder why he didn’t run away all at once, but now I understand—he definitely had another goal… and he succeeded!” “What?” “The most obvious change, which you might not have noticed… every time he deliberately lingers to create a battle, the cost of prediction rises significantly!” “You mean!” Black Rose took a deep breath. “The prediction cost doubles—could that also be his doing?” Red Coral nodded firmly, full of confidence.

Black Rose stared intently with a frown for a few seconds, looking at her sister whose eyes shone, suddenly feeling uneasy: If all of this is true, such a monstrous person… seems hard to control.
