Immortal God of War

Chapter 1167 - 1102: The General Tower Master’s Worries

After the red-haired old man left, the Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion looked at the corpse of the Tianxuan Tribe leader, then turned to Qin Feiyang and asked, "Young friend, what’s the story with him?"

Qin Feiyang said, "Last night, he and the leader of the God Python Tribe colluded together, disguised as Pei Yi, and lured me to Black Cloud Valley with the intention of harming me. In the end, my elder brother appeared and disabled their cultivation.

The crowd’s pupils shrank.

To disable even the leader of the God Python Tribe, this elder brother of his is indeed terrifying!

"Where is your elder brother now?"

Gongsun Bei asked.

Qin Feiyang shook his head and said, "He left after disabling them, and I don’t know where he is now."

Gongsun Bei subtly raised his brow and turned to look at the General Tower Master.

The General Tower Master smiled faintly without saying much.

Upon seeing this.

Gongsun Bei also fell silent.

The Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion looked meaningfully at Qin Feiyang and shouted, "Someone, take away his corpse for me."

Two more guards ran up, dragging away the corpse of the Tianxuan Tribe leader.

Fatty, Shen Feiyun, Li He, and Yan Wei also wisely left the high platform.

The Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion said, "Li He, wait a moment."

Li He was startled and returned to the high platform, standing beside the Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion.

Wang Youer chuckled softly, "It will definitely be announced soon that Li He will succeed as the Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion."

"It’s inevitable."

Qin Feiyang smiled.

The Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion glanced at those present, bowed and said, "I sincerely apologize for all the events of today."

"It’s not something you wanted to see. Let’s not dwell on it; let bygones be bygones."

"Indeed, as long as no bigger mistakes were made, it’s fine."

The various leaders laughed.

"Thank you all for your understanding."

"Now, I personally announce that the next Vice Pavilion Master position will be inherited by Li He."

The Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion took out the jade seal, held it out to Li He, and said apologetically, "I’ve put you through an ordeal."

"This..."

The sudden joy left Li He somewhat at a loss.

The Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion laughed, "This is what you deserve, and what we owe you. Take it and manage the Trading Pavilion well, don’t disappoint my expectations."

Li He glanced at the Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion, bowed to receive the jade seal, and said, "I will do my best. Thank you, Pavilion Master."

"Alright, say a few words to everyone!"

The Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion patted Li He on the shoulder, then left the high platform and walked toward the elder in black, looking rather haggard.

With all that’s transpired, no one could remain unaffected.

Li He, unlike Fu An-shan, stood on the high platform, spoke earnestly, and then invited everyone to move to the Dragon Phoenix Building.

A banquet is necessary.

After all, with so many people traveling from afar, they couldn’t just be sent off like that, could they?

For the moment.

Various leaders opened teleportation gates and headed to the Dragon Phoenix Building.

But the General Tower Master and Gongsun Bei didn’t go; they nodded to the Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion and then left.

Li He put away the jade seal and, in one step, landed in front of Qin Feiyang and the others, smiling, "Brother Mu, Young Master Hao, You’er Miss, I really want to thank you all."

"And me?"

"Don’t assume that just because you’ve been appointed Vice Pavilion Master, you can pretend not to know me."

"You must know, my contributions are significant too."

Fatty looked at Li He with dissatisfaction.

Li He shook his head with a smile and said, "How could I forget you?"

Then he turned to Yan Wei, cupped his hands, and said, "And you, thank you."

"It’s nothing."

Yan Wei waved his hand.

Li He glanced at the others and said, "Anyway, today, no matter what, you can’t refuse. You must go to the Dragon Phoenix Building so I can properly thank you all."

"It would be a pleasure!"

Young Master Hao said.

Qin Feiyang smiled and said, "I have a few matters to attend to, so I won’t be joining the fun."

Young Master Hao instantly became annoyed, saying, "Brother Mu, you’re really boring, you know that?"

Li He also was displeased.

Qin Feiyang said with a wry smile, "I really have things to do, my apologies."

Seeing Qin Feiyang’s determination, Li He couldn’t force him, shaking his head helplessly, "It’s truly difficult to invite you for a meal. Alright, go handle your business; there’s plenty of time in the future. We’ll gather again."

"Thank you."

Qin Feiyang smiled, opened a teleportation gate, and walked in.

Fatty and Yan Wei exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

Li He shook his head and looked at Wang Youer, smiling, "You’er Miss, what about you?"

"I won’t go either, have fun."

Wang Youer gave the disappearing teleportation gate a glance, smiled at Li He, and also opened a teleportation gate to leave.

"Well..."

Li He’s old face couldn’t hold on.

Young Master Hao patted Li He on the shoulder, smiling, "Brother Mu doesn’t go, so naturally the old sister won’t go either. Understand, understand."

"What do you mean?"

Li He looked at him suspiciously.

Young Master Hao said, "Can’t you see? My old sister’s attention is completely on a certain someone now."

"A certain someone?"

Li He was stunned, then suddenly realized, laughing, "Looks like it won’t be long before we have a wedding to attend."

"A wedding?"

"Hopefully!"

"Enough talk, come on, today I’ll accompany you for a good drink."

Young Master Hao, full of energy, led Li He to the Dragon Phoenix Building.

...

General Tower!

Inside a pavilion, a stone table with some standards set on it.

The General Tower Master stood by the stone table, holding a brush, staring at the white paper on the table, focusing quietly.

Nearby.

Gongsun Bei stood silently and respectfully.

Suddenly!

The General Tower Master waved his brush, writing a vigorous character on the paper.

This character was ’Wisdom’!

The General Tower Master glanced at the word ’Wisdom’, put down the brush, sat on the stone stool, and asked, "Gongsun Bei, do you know why I wrote this word?"

"I do."

Gongsun Bei nodded.

"Explain."

The General Tower Master said.

"Wisdom represents intelligence, strategic thinking, and talent."

"The ancients said that those with wisdom can conquer the world."

"If I’m not mistaken, this word, my lord wrote it for Ancestor Mu."

Gongsun Bei said.

"That’s right."

"I wrote it precisely for him."

"Hao’er’s performance today was very gratifying, but I understand that it was all orchestrated by Ancestor Mu behind the scenes."

"He is truly a person with great wisdom and strategy."

The General Tower Master said.

Gongsun Bei’s pupils shrank, and he whispered, "Is my lord worried?"

The General Tower Master said, "I must be worried because his presence poses a great threat to Hao’er, and if he wishes, he can easily toy with Hao’er."

"In my opinion, my lord is overthinking."

"Because, from my observation, Ancestor Mu is not an ambitious person."

Gongsun Bei said.

"The world is unpredictable!"

The General Tower Master sighed deeply.

Gongsun Bei said, "If my lord truly feels uneasy, I can make him disappear immediately."

The General Tower Master pondered silently.

Gongsun Bei’s eyes flashed slightly, and he added, "My lord, forgive me for speaking bluntly. Although Ancestor Mu poses a great threat to Little Brother, thinking from another angle, his appearance is also an opportunity for Little Brother."

"How so?"

The General Tower Master was taken aback and asked.

"Think about it, with Ancestor Mu’s intellect, if he fully assists Little Brother, then who could challenge Little Brother’s position on the Forgotten Continent in the future?"

Gongsun Bei said.

The General Tower Master’s eyes lit up, but he frowned again and said, "What you said is only if."

"So first, we must confirm if he truly is an ambitious person, rather than smothering a rare talent in its cradle."

Gongsun Bei said.

The General Tower Master said, "Are you saying I am jealous of talent?"

"I dare not."

"If I spoke too harshly, please forgive me, my lord."

Gongsun Bei quickly bowed.

The General Tower Master looked up at the garden ahead, his gaze flickering, and suddenly asked, "Honestly, have you ever hated me all these years?"

"No."

"Because everything I have today is bestowed by my lord, and I am already very content."

Gongsun Bei lowered his head and said.

The General Tower Master smiled slightly and said, "If Ancestor Mu can have such an understanding as you do, then keeping him by Hao’er’s side is not unthinkable."

Gongsun Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and said, "Then let me handle this matter!"

The General Tower Master nodded and said, "Give me an answer as soon as possible."

"Alright."

Gongsun Bei nodded, then turned and left.

The General Tower Master got up, walked out of the pavilion, and gazed at the clear sky, muttering, "Life is short; don’t take it for granted!"

This sentence did not seem to be directed at himself.

He did not know that in the flower bed not far away, there was a colorful little snake hidden, so tiny that it was almost invisible to the naked eye.

...

Quiet Heart Lake!

In the pavilion hall, Fatty looked at Qin Feiyang and asked, "Boss, what needs to be dealt with?"

Yan Wei also looked at Qin Feiyang, puzzled.

"Nothing."

Qin Feiyang shook his head and sat by the coffee table.

"Huh?"

Fatty and Yan Wei were both puzzled.

Yan Wei said suspiciously, "If there’s nothing, then why not go to the Dragon Phoenix Building?"

Qin Feiyang smiled and said, "Those going to the Dragon Phoenix Building this time are all big figures from the Forgotten Continent. If I were to go, I’d certainly have to entertain them, and I don’t have the energy for that."

"I see."

"You just want to avoid trouble!"

Yan Wei said.

"Exactly."

"Things are basically settled, so you guys stop wandering around and go cultivate in the ancient castle!"

Qin Feiyang said.

Yan Wei was a bit surprised and asked, "Then regarding the Mu Family’s stronghold and the mysterious person buying herbs, are we not going to look for them?"

"No more looking."

Qin Feiyang waved his hand.

After such a long search without results, continuing would be a waste of time.

"Alright!"

Yan Wei nodded.

Buzz!

Suddenly.

Fatty took out an Image Crystal Stone.

A white, dazzling silhouette appeared.

It was Li Yan!

Li Yan wasted no words and asked, "Fatty, where are you now?"

"I’m with my boss, what’s up?"

Fatty asked suspiciously.

"Come to the Dragon Phoenix Building immediately."

Li Yan finished speaking, and the virtual image vanished.

"What does this mean?"

Fatty stared at Qin Feiyang and Yan Wei.

Qin Feiyang and Yan Wei exchanged a glance and couldn’t help but smile.

"Why are you smiling?"

Fatty frowned.

Qin Feiyang said, "You’re doing pretty well!"

Fatty said angrily, "What’s the matter? Can you be clear about it?"

Yan Wei rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Don’t you understand? The girl fancies you."

"Fancies me?"

Fatty pointed at his own nose, looking incredulous.

Li Yan, such a beautiful woman, would be interested in him? Must be joking!

"Isn’t this what you want?"

"Hurry up and go!"

"Don’t keep the lady waiting."

Qin Feiyang said with a smile.
