Chapter 1120 - 1055: A Master of Disguise
A moment later, Qin Feiyang came out.
After confirming multiple times, indeed, there was nothing else in the lake besides that mermaid pattern.
"What were you doing down there?"
Young Master Hao looked at him suspiciously.
Qin Feiyang smiled and said, "Nothing, I just wanted to see if I could find any treasure."
"Treasure hunting?"
Young Master Hao was taken aback and rolled his eyes.
Wang Youer also looked at him as if he were a fool.
Shen Island is a necessary route between the Outer Sea and the Inner Sea, and who knows how many people have passed through here over the years; any treasure would’ve long been searched clean.
Qin Feiyang smiled faintly and said, "We can teleport from the Outer Sea now, let’s just teleport back!"
"Alright."
Young Master Hao nodded.
The three didn’t delay any longer, quickly left Shen Island, and then Young Master Hao opened a teleportation gate, walking in one after another.
At the same time!
In the holy land of the General Tower, inside a courtyard.
A middle-aged man stood in a pavilion, wielding a brush and writing a character.
This middle-aged man wore a pure white long robe, his long hair draped down his back, emanating an unfathomable aura.
It was none other than Young Master Hao’s father, the General Tower Master!
He was alone in the courtyard.
He held a glittering golden brush, writing rapidly, and the character he was writing was "kill"!
Each stroke contained an astonishing murderous aura!
Not only did this character exude killing intent, but his eyes also flashed with a murderous glint, as sharp as a blade!
Suddenly!
His arm paused, and he glanced at the courtyard gate with the corner of his eye, then waved his hand quickly, causing the brush in his hand and the paper with the "kill" character to instantly turn into dust.
And the murderous intent in his eyes vanished as well.
Swoosh!
Almost simultaneously.
Three figures appeared out of thin air at the gate of the courtyard.
They were Qin Feiyang, Young Master Hao, and Wang Youer!
The General Tower Master turned to look at them and smiled, "You’re back."
"Are you disappointed that we didn’t die?"
Young Master Hao snorted coldly, kicked open the courtyard gate, and swaggered in.
Qin Feiyang and Wang Youer exchanged glances and couldn’t help but shake their heads with a bitter smile.
Throughout the Forgotten Continent, only this Young Master Hao would dare kick open the General Tower Master’s gate.
"Greetings, Master."
"Greetings, Uncle."
The two followed, entering one after the other, and standing before the pavilion, they bowed respectfully.
The General Tower Master nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Was the trip to Qinghai smooth?"
"Fairly smooth."
Wang Youer responded respectfully.
However, looking at the smile on the General Tower Master’s face, Qin Feiyang no longer felt any warmth.
This is someone very adept at disguising, with not a single flaw to be found.
If he hadn’t already known this person’s true nature, he would surely continue to be deceived by these appearances.
The General Tower Master smiled and asked, "Did you bring back the Pill Fire?"
"This..."
Wang Youer was momentarily speechless and glanced sideways at Qin Feiyang.
Qin Feiyang bowed and said, "Master, this has nothing to do with them. It is my incompetence for not managing to snatch the Pill Fire."
"What happened?"
The General Tower Master’s eyes showed a hint of suspicion.
"It was my brother; he also went to the Inner Sea and snatched it the moment the Pill Fire appeared."
After saying this, Qin Feiyang quickly added, "But Master, I swear, I absolutely did not leak the information about the Pill Fire appearing in Qinghai to him."
"So that’s what happened."
The General Tower Master suddenly understood and asked, "Is he your biological brother?"
"Yes."
Qin Feiyang nodded.
The General Tower Master said, "Your brother is quite bold, daring to snatch something our General Tower had its eyes on."
Qin Feiyang’s expression changed, and he quickly said in fear, "Master, please don’t be angry. I will immediately send a message to him, advising him to hand over the Pill Fire."
"There’s no need for that."
The General Tower Master waved his hand.
"Hmm?"
Qin Feiyang looked at him suspiciously.
The General Tower Master said, "I believe Gongsun Bei has already told you the real purpose I sent you to Qinghai."
Qin Feiyang nodded.
"So, I’m not that concerned about the Pill Fire. What I want is for Hao’er to grow through this experience."
"As for the leakage about the Pill Fire, I never suspected you."
"Because I know very well that there are spies from numerous forces within my General Tower."
The General Tower Master smiled.
"So, this person knew everything but pretended not to know. Truly, a wily old fox."
Qin Feiyang murmured to himself, feigning a sigh of relief.
The General Tower Master laughed again, "But I’m very interested in your elder brother. If there’s time, invite him to come to the General Tower as a guest."
Qin Feiyang replied, "It would be my brother’s honor, I’ll definitely pass on the message."
The General Tower Master smiled and turned to Young Master Hao, "So, have you gained anything from this trip?"
Young Master Hao said, "A little."
The General Tower Master, intrigued, said, "Then summarize it for me!"
Young Master Hao bowed his head, pondered for a while, and sighed, "In a word, I used to be a frog at the bottom of a well."
"Hehe..."
Though it was just one sentence, the General Tower Master was very pleased.
The General Tower Master looked at Qin Feiyang and Wang Youer, and said sincerely, "Thank you for taking care of him all the way and for bringing him back alive, preventing me from the sadness of losing a young one."
Wang Youer giggled, "Uncle, you’re being too formal. I’ve always treated him as my own brother, so taking care of him is what I should do."
"Haha..."
The General Tower Master laughed heartily.
But suddenly.
He frowned, looking at Qin Feiyang, "Do you know? Even though you weren’t in the Divine City, it was bustling with news about you."
"Huh?"
Qin Feiyang looked puzzled.
The General Tower Master said, "Somebody spread the news that you were killed in the Inner Sea."
"Bastard!"
"Who’s spreading these rumors?"
Before Qin Feiyang could say anything, Young Master Hao was the first to explode in anger.
The General Tower Master shook his head, "I don’t know who’s spreading the rumors, but everyone in the Divine City is talking about it now."
Wang Youer also looked puzzled.
Only Qin Feiyang knew in his heart that it must be the people from the nine great super tribes spreading it. He began to anticipate, wondering what reactions would occur when he appeared in front of them.
Suddenly.
A thought struck him, and he looked at the General Tower Master, "Master, did you believe it then?"
"Of course, I didn’t believe it."
"Because if you truly encountered an accident, You’er and Hao’er would definitely report to me immediately."
The General Tower Master laughed.
"That’s true."
Qin Feiyang smiled embarrassedly.
The General Tower Master frowned, "But this matter couldn’t have come out of thin air. What exactly happened in Qinghai?"
"Talking about it makes me angry."
Young Master Hao was the first to speak again, filled with indignation.
"What?"
The General Tower Master turned to look at him.
"Old man, you know what? As soon as we left the Divine City, someone tried to assassinate Brother Mu."
Young Master Hao said angrily.
"Who has the audacity to touch my Direct Disciple?"
The General Tower Master’s gaze turned slightly cold.
"Fu An-shan and the Kirin Tribe, luckily Brother Mu was alert, or else he would have been dead."
"Even the person sent by Fu An-shan, named Fu Han, intended to kill me and my elder sister!"
Young Master Hao said.
"Is this true?"
The General Tower Master couldn’t stay calm.
Young Master Hao said, "Of course, we caught that Fu Han on Divine Island, and he admitted himself that Fu An-shan wanted to leave none alive, meaning to kill all three of us."
"That’s true."
Wang Youer also nodded.
"Fu An-shan!"
A killing intent flashed in the General Tower Master’s eyes.
Qin Feiyang’s gaze flickered, and he bowed, "Master, you don’t need to trouble yourself with this matter. Leave it to us to handle."
After speaking, he gave Young Master Hao a look.
Young Master Hao nodded, "Yes, yes, we will handle it well."
"Really?"
The General Tower Master looked at him skeptically.
Young Master Hao vowed, "Just trust me this once. I guarantee this time you’ll see me in a new light, and I’ll also find out the cause of Li He and Shen Feiyun’s deaths."
The General Tower Master looked at him in surprise and smiled, "It seems this experience has indeed made you grow a lot. Alright then, I’ll give you this opportunity, go ahead and do it!"
The message was clear: whatever Young Master Hao did, he would unconditionally support him.
"Thank you, Dad."
Young Master Hao was overjoyed.
Qin Feiyang was stunned, after spending so much time together, this was the first time he heard Young Master Hao affectionately call the General Tower Master "Dad."
"Alright, after all the hard work, you should go back and have a good rest."
The General Tower Master smiled.
"Disciple takes his leave."
Qin Feiyang bowed and then opened a portal, returning to Quiet Heart Lake with Young Master Hao.
