In this way, Gu Yuan and Gu Ting settled down in a hotel in Gumo City. Gu Yuan rested in the hotel for a day and completely adjusted his condition to the peak.
The next morning, Gu Yuan got up early and came to the door of the hotel. He looked at Gu Ting beside him and said, "Let's go. I'm ready. Let's go to the Mu family now."
Gu Ting looked at Gu Yuan and said, "Don't worry too much when we go to the Mu family this time. Nothing will happen. Even if they want to make things difficult for you, at most they will send their own juniors to compete with you. Then you can just fight them. If you can beat them, then fight. If you can't, then admit defeat. Anyway, they have no reason not to give you the elixir they owe you. As long as they have a little sense of shame, they won't do this."
Gu Yuan nodded and said with a smile, "You're right. The Mu family is a large family. I don't think they would do such a shameless thing as to refuse even a small amount of spiritual medicine. But I can be sure that based on the Mu family's usual behavior, they will definitely not give me spiritual medicine easily. Moreover, even if they let the younger generation of the family fight me in the name of a competition, they will definitely have malicious intentions during the battle and will definitely not let me take these spiritual medicines easily."
Gu Ting agreed and said, "You're right. Although the Mu family is a large family that values credibility, they're not what they appear to be. We in the Gu family are aware of what they've done over the years. From what I've learned, it's not uncommon for the Mu family to secretly murder talented young men from other families. There's even suspicion within our family that the two young men who disappeared were the work of the Mu family. But these are just suspicions. There's no evidence at the scene to point to the Mu family, so after all these years of investigation, we in the Gu family haven't found any leads, so we can only give up."
"If that's the case, then your Gu family really has no reason to seek justice from the Mu family. What a pity, you two young men."
Gu Ting shook her head. "These things are all in the past, and they happened several years ago. Those two young men were among the most senior members of our family. If they were still alive, they would have already reached the fifth level of Spirit Master. The Mu family is not a family that values martial arts. The people in their family cultivate because they need to protect their family business. Without martial arts, their family business would not be so stable. So, in comparison, our Gu family, who values martial arts, is stronger than the Mu family, but in terms of financial resources, we are definitely not as good as the Mu family. The Mu family can be said to be a business family."
After saying this, Gu Ting waved her hand and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's set off for the Mu family now. After this matter is completed, we will discuss the next plan."
"Okay, let's go now."
Gu Yuan nodded and followed Gu Ting.
Gumo City is very big.
The two walked slowly in the ancient desert city, without taking any means of transportation. Because there were too many people in the ancient desert city, even the streets were crowded, and even taking public transportation would be very congested. It would be better for the two of them to walk slowly and take in the environment of the ancient desert city.
Gu Yuan surveyed his surroundings. Both sides of the street were lined with shops, hotels, restaurants, and so on. There were also some blacksmith shops, making a crisp clanging sound. The sounds of hawkers echoed throughout the street, noisy but not harsh.
Gu Yuan still prefers this kind of lively occasion.
Following the street, they turned several corners. Gu Yuan didn't know where he turned, but just kept walking behind Gu Ting.
After walking for a long time, Gu Ting finally stopped. Gu Yuan also stopped walking behind her. He raised his head and looked ahead. They arrived in front of a mansion.
"Who is coming?"
The guard at the door of the mansion looked at Gu Yuan and the other man who had stopped in front of the mansion, walked up to them fiercely, and asked them.
Gu Ting said to the two guards, "I am Gu Ting from the Gu family. Go and inform your young master Mu Tianxing that Gu Ting is here to visit."
The two guards glanced at each other and frowned, looking back and forth at Gu Yuan and Gu Ting, paying special attention to Gu Ting.
"Are you the daughter of the Gu family, Miss Gu Ting?" asked one of the guards.
Gu Ting nodded and said, "Yes, I am Gu Ting from the Gu family. Mu Tianxing and I are friends. He knows me. Go in and tell him that I'm here to visit him."
The guard nodded and said quickly, "Miss Gu Ting, please wait here for a moment. I will go in and inform Master Mu Tianxing."
Gu Yuan and Gu Ting waited outside for a while before they saw two figures walking out of the door. One of them looked extremely flustered. It was Mu Tian Xingxing.
"Tingting, why are you here? Why did you think of looking for me?" Mu Tianxing looked at Gu Ting anxiously and asked.
But the next moment he frowned again, looked at Gu Yuan behind Ting, and then immediately stopped.
Gu Ting looked at Mu Tianxing and said, "Mu Tianxing, I'm here to visit you today with a friend. I have something to talk to you about. My friend wants to talk to you about the previous bet."
Mu Tianxing's expression darkened immediately. He looked at Gu Ting and said, "Tingting, what do you mean? Why did you bring him here? If it were you, I would welcome you! But the guy standing behind you, we in the Mu family don't welcome him."
Gu Yuan sneered and stood up. He looked at Gu Ting and said, "Master Mu, I didn't come here today expecting your Mu family to welcome me. I just came to claim the spiritual medicine you owe me. Master Mu Tianxing, you shouldn't have forgotten the bet we made some time ago, right? If you lose, you will lose a hundred times the spiritual medicine I gave you. I wonder if Master Mu Tianxing has prepared these spiritual medicines? I'm here to get them today."
Mu Tianxing's face was gloomy, and he sneered and said, "Gu Yuan! Very good, I didn't expect you to be so bold. You actually dared to come to our Mu family to get this elixir. I have to say that you are really brave."
Gu Yuan smiled and said, "There's no other way. I'm just a casual cultivator. I don't have the resources you have, like a family controlling 60% of the spiritual medicine industry. I'm very poor, so these resources are extremely important to me. There's no other way, so I have to come and get them."
