At the foot of Mizar Peak.
Lu Ping and Wen Gecheng didn't speak the whole way down. Until they reached here, and seeing that they were about to separate, Wen Gecheng finally couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Hey!" He called out.
"Hmm?" Lu Ping looked at him.
"Why didn't you ask me about the organization I went to investigate?" Wen Gecheng said.
"Oh, right." Lu Ping clearly just remembered, and immediately asked, "How is it?"
Wen Gecheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This person involved, actually cared even less than him, a curious person. He really didn't know what to say. Of course, in reality, he didn't have much to say. He was just purely curious as to why Lu Ping hadn't asked. In the end, Lu Ping also very purely forgot.
And now, driven by his curiosity, Lu Ping finally asked.
"There are no clues at the moment." Wen Gecheng could only tell him the truth.
"But from the known clues that Old Guo has obtained, that location is within the borders of this Green Peak Empire, the Zhoushan Snowy Plains in the extreme north." Wen Gecheng said as he observed Lu Ping's expression, and then added: "Of course, Old Guo has already told you about this."
"Hmm …" Lu Ping nodded.
"The Zhoushan Snowy Plains, there are more forces of the Dark Academy." Wen Gecheng said again.
"Hmm …" Lu Ping still nodded.
"Alright, I still have things to do, I'll leave first." Wen Gecheng decisively turned and left. It was very obvious that Lu Ping already knew about these two pieces of information. Originally, this was something that almost everyone knew. Back then, Guo Youdao had passed by there. To tell the truth, even before Wen Gecheng personally went there, Guo Youdao had already told him about these two clues.
"Then will you continue investigating?" Lu Ping asked behind him.
Wen Gecheng decisively turned back: "Good lad, at least you still have some hope."
Lu Ping nodded again. Just like before, this appearance slightly dampened Wen Gecheng's enthusiasm. However, his curiosity wasn't because of Lu Ping's expectations or anything else. It was because of his curiosity toward this Awakened, who was imprisoned by the Soul Locking Spell and had his Six Physical and Spiritual Links, that was enough to drive him to do anything.
"I will continue. Definitely, "he said.
"Thank you. Thank you for the trouble. "No matter what the other party's original intentions were. In the end, Lu Ping still had to thank him.
"You …" Wen Gecheng looked at him again. "I'm afraid your current problem still lies with that old fellow." As he spoke, he cast a glance towards Mizar Peak. It went without saying that the old man he was referring to was a believer.
"Old Guo made such an arrangement. He must have his reasons, "Wen Gecheng said.
"I believe you," Lu Ping said.
"Good luck."
"Yes."
A hasty meeting and a hasty farewell. Just like the last time they met, the two of them did not interact much. But perhaps it was because Wen Gecheng could see through too many things, he could always easily give people a very familiar feeling.
Lu Ping stood at the foot of the mountain, sending Wen Gecheng off with his eyes. Suddenly he raised his hand and waved.
"No need to watch me go, I still have friends to visit. I'm leaving without saying anything, maybe we'll meet again in two days!" Wen Gecheng shouted.
"Alright …" Lu Ping said, and silently turned around.
He took another glance at Mizar Peak, then followed the mountain path towards Big Dipper Mountain. He actually wasn't too clear where he should go. But, since he was brought away from Megrez Peak, then returning there shouldn't be too much of a mistake right?
On Megrez Peak. The Megrez Peak students tidied up the Star Observatory that was blasted apart. Under the use of various abilities, the rebuilding speed was extraordinary. In a short while, the observatory was actually restored to its original appearance.
There were all sorts of capable people in North Style Academy, this fact was not worth making a fuss about. The newcomers were not too surprised, so as not to show that their knowledge was shallow. Moreover, the majority of them didn't have the time to care about other things.
The Seven Peaks and Seven Stars Valleys' Big Dipper Gate people who came to investigate successively came to Megrez Peak. Some of them came out of curiosity, some came to investigate under the orders of the seven academicians. Nobody went up to greet the curious. But the students sent by the seven academicians. At this moment, Megrez Peak academician Chen Jiu and head disciple Jin Qi were gathered together, discussing this matter.
"No one from Mizar Peak came?" Alioth Peak's Chen Chu's insight was outstanding, and he immediately saw that among the people gathered here to discuss business, only Mizar Peak was missing. He even swept a glance at the shadows all around. Who knew whether or not the ones coming from Mizar Peak were Dark Practitioners, hiding in the dark in some place?
No, there were no Mizar Peak students, nor were there any secret agents that only the seven academicians of Mizar Peak could mobilize. And at this moment, Jin Qi also answered Chen Chu.
"I saw someone from Mizar Peak coming this way, it seemed like …" Ruan Qingzhu's head disciple Deng Wenjun from Alkaid Peak said. They were in the direction of Alkaid Peak. Just in time to see a flowing light flash past Mizar Peak. He already had a guess in his heart, but he didn't dare confirm it. After all, that person hadn't taken half a step out of Mizar Peak for far too many years. Perhaps it was just a fellow student from Mizar Peak who'd also cultivated that ability?
In the end, Jin Qi immediately answered them: "The people from Mizar Peak came."
"Ah, where are they?" Chen Chu began to look around again.
"Academician Guo came personally, and brought away the newcomer, Zhenfeng College's Lu Ping." Jin Qi said. In this little bit of time, they'd already understood Lu Ping's background.
"Academician Guo?" Chen Chu stared blankly, he even thought about who Academician Guo was. Alioth Peak and Mizar Peak were close neighbors, and he, as the head disciple of Alioth Peak, was the number two figure of Alioth Peak. Normally, he'd had many opportunities to see the number one figures of any of the peaks, but this Guo Wu Shu, he couldn't even remember how many years it'd been since he'd seen him. For a time, he'd almost forgotten to address him as "Academician Guo", and almost blurted out "which Academician Guo".
And Deng Wenjun, who was at the side, also confirmed his guess. That flowing light, really was Academician Guo Wu Shu.
"Sky's End Near at Hand …" he said. This was Mizar Star's unique control system ability, Guo Wu Shu. It seemed that for the time being, there weren't any students from Mizar Peak who could master it. The only one who could use it was still him, Guo Wu Shu.
The other three peaks of Phecda, Merak, and Dubhe also had people come. There were also teachers from Seven Stars Valley who were concerned about the situation here, and called their students over. At this time, hearing that Guo Wu Shu, who hadn't left Mizar Peak for many years, had actually personally made a trip, and even used his Sky's End Near at Hand to cross the distance between the two peaks, this urgency really made everyone feel it was inconceivable.
"Then, then?" someone asked.
"Then he was directly taken away." Jin Qi said helplessly. Then … they didn't have the chance to ask, Guo Wu Shu came over, and Chen Jiu didn't even pay attention to him, the head disciple, any more.
"Then this … do we still need to ask?" Everyone looked towards Chen Jiu.
"Just now, it was undoubtedly Star Fall." Chen Jiu said, "Why would it suddenly happen, and fall here, perhaps it has something to do with the newcomer Lu Ping, but we can't be completely sure. The Master of the Star Fall is called Guo Youdao, report it truthfully! "
