Chapter 1000 - 946: The Inheritance of the First General Tower Master, Thorough Identity Investigation! (Part 3)

...

"What are you doing inside?"

Outside the door.

A moment passed.

Gongsun Bei gradually lost his patience and knocked on the door forcefully a few more times.

There was still no sign of the stone door opening.

"Could it be not in the Alchemy room?"

He frowned involuntarily, waited a little longer, and finally couldn’t stand it anymore, turning around to leave.

Just then, the stone door slowly opened.

"Oh, Lord Gongsun, is there something you need from this disciple?"

Mu Qing feigned ignorance, standing behind the door, suspiciously looking at Gongsun Bei.

"Why did it take so long to open the door?"

Gongsun Bei asked with a frown.

Mu Qing quickly replied, "This disciple was just doing Alchemy, any offense, please forgive me, my lord."

Gongsun Bei entered the Alchemy room and sniffed; indeed, there was a strong medicinal aroma in the air, so he didn’t pursue the matter further.

Then.

He closed the stone door and looked at Mu Qing, saying, "Are you familiar with Ancestor Mu?"

"Very familiar."

Mu Qing nodded.

Gongsun Bei asked, "Then do you know, who are his family members?"

Mu Qing thought for a moment and said, "Aside from his parents, he doesn’t have any other brothers or sisters."

Gongsun Bei asked again, "Do you know the location of his house?"

Mu Qing shook his head, "I’ve never been there, but I heard him mention it once, it seems to be somewhere outside Ice Crystal City..."

"Exactly where, think carefully."

Gongsun Bei urged.

"Alright, alright."

Mu Qing nodded repeatedly, then lowered his head, pretending to recall with effort.

This pondering lasted over an hour.

Gongsun Bei grew sleepy from waiting.

Mu Qing himself was also sleepy, as he wasn’t recalling anything at all.

When a person stays in such a state for a long time, even if you don’t want to sleep, you will want to!

Gongsun Bei yawned and said, "Did you remember it or not?"

Mu Qing troubledly replied, "The time has been too long, I really can’t recall immediately."

Gongsun Bei’s face darkened, suppressing his anger, he smiled, "Don’t rush, think slowly, I will take a nap over there."

After speaking, he entered the rest room, leaned on a chair, and closed his eyes to rest.

"Okay."

Mu Qing nodded.

But looking at Gongsun Bei, his eyes carried a hint of mockery.

In a blink, over an hour passed again.

"I can’t stall anymore, or it’ll arouse his suspicion."

"But over there... father should have arranged things by now!"

Mu Qing muttered secretly, his eyes flashed, then he hurried into the rest room, saying, "My lord, the disciple remembered."

Swish!

Gongsun Bei immediately opened his eyes, stood up, and asked, "Where?"

"Ancestor Mu once said, his home is beside an ice lake south of Ice Crystal City."

Mu Qing replied.

"Take me there."

Gongsun Bei ordered.

"Huh?"

Mu Qing was slightly stunned, suspiciously asked, "Why go there?"

Gongsun Bei replied, "Of course, to check it out."

"This..."

Mu Qing hesitated, "My lord, may I ask a question even if I shouldn’t?"

"Speak."

Gongsun Bei said, clearly becoming impatient.

Mu Qing asked, "Has Ancestor Mu committed some mistake? Is there a need to investigate him?"

"Don’t you know, the General Tower Master intends to take him as a Disciple?"

Gongsun Bei suspiciously looked at him.

"That’s news?"

Mu Qing showed a face of astonishment, then anger surged in his eyes, dissatisfied, "Such a good thing, that bastard actually kept it from me, utterly outrageous!"

"You really didn’t know?"

This time it was Gongsun Bei’s turn to be startled, shaking his head, "He probably wanted to give you a surprise."

"Who cares!"

Mu Qing’s eyes showed disdain, then said, "Given this, is it the General Tower Master himself who wants to investigate his identity?"

"Correct."

Gongsun Bei nodded.

"Makes sense."

"After all, anyone wouldn’t trust someone with unknown origins to be their Direct Disciple."

"Fine, this disciple will take you there now."

Mu Qing finished, opening the portal.

Swish!!

The next moment.

The two appeared in the Elixir Tower square.

After Gongsun Bei explained his purpose to the Law Enforcement Elder tasked with guarding the teleportation altar, he activated the altar and brought Mu Qing to the teleportation altar above the Ninth Sector.

Then.

The two didn’t delay at all, flying straight out of Ice Crystal City, rushing south.

Mu Qing certainly knew the location of the ice lake.

But he led Gongsun Bei running around, naturally trying to buy time.

Because he wasn’t sure if things were arranged properly over there, he could only stall as long as possible.
