248 IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME (1/2)

It was indeed frustrating to know that their search for the apprentice necromancer and all of the extra effort and hardship that they have put through just to get its whereabouts will only point them back at their starting point, the Magus Academia.

If they should have known from the start that the apprentice necromancer is just within Magus Academia, they should have saved a lot of time and energy.

But considering that only the Mu Clan knows about this matter, they cannot say entirely that their trip back to the Kingdom of Long is wasted.

If they didn't personally go here and uncover the deepest secret of the Mu Clan for their own, then there is no doubt that they won't know anything about the whereabouts of the apprentice necromancer even if they were to stay within Magus Academia for another ten years straight.

”So what would be our next plan??”

Chan Gu asked after their shock subsided.

”What else??? Of course, we will go back to Magus Academia and start our search there!”

Long Yue said as if it is the most normal thing to do.

”Long Yue, that is a given. Do you even call that a plan?? What I mean is how can we find the apprentice necromancer among the student populace???”

Chan Gu tried to clarify his question to make himself clear, especially to Long Yue.

”Well, that is to say, that the apprentice necromancer is still studying at Magus Academia. But considering that the news that we got is almost 2 decades late, we cannot deny the possibility that the apprentice necromancer is no longer staying at Magus Academia.”

This time, it was Fan Lei who expressed his idea. Just like what he had said, there is no guarantee that the apprentice necromancer is still staying at the Magus Academia up until now.

Considering that it was already 18 years ago, a lot of things could have happened during that span of time.

But just like Fan Lei, Mu Lingxi had already thought about this possibility before. That is why she had already come up with a countermeasure for it.

”Regardless if he was still there or not, it will remain a fact that he used to be at Magus Academia. That is a good starting point already. Well, at least, we can try looking for the student records.”

”Brilliant! Why I haven't thought about it before??? HAHA! Of course, Magus Academia must have records of its students. We can start from there!!!”

Long Yue shouted in delight. It was only after hearing the idea from Mu Lingxi did he thought about the feasibility of this plan.

”Su Yan's plan is indeed the best shot that we have so far. But the only problem is, it is a daunting task. Just think about the countless warlocks and sorceresses that had been at Magus Academia for the past 18 years. How are we going to seed out the apprentice necromancer among them.”

It is not that Yun Xue was purposely going against Mu Lingxi's idea, but what he said has a point. When this issue was brought to light, the group had reached an impasse again.

Little did they know that Mu Lingxi still has another trump card on her end. If they were talking to someone else, they might really be stump by that situation.

But considering that the daughter of the very person who is related to the apprentice necromancer itself is within the group, they still have another lifeline.

”Well, we can start looking for the sorceress named, Yu Yan.”

”Yu Yan??? Is that the name of the girl who supposed to be the apprentice necromancer's bride???”

Since Long Fuzi already told them the background story as to why the apprentice necromancer had come to the Kingdom of Long before, they already have quite an idea about it.

Base on what Long Fuzi had told them before, the apprentice necromancer had come wreaking havoc in the Kingdom of Long after pursuing his runaway bride.

So it was indeed a good plan for them to go looking for that sorceress named, Yu Yan, and start from there.

”Yes, it was her. Since she used to know the apprentice necromancer, then we can definitely find something related to the apprentice necromancer once we tried looking for her information.”

”Great! Now, we really have a good start. By the way, how did you know her name??? It was not even recorded on the books at the book depository.”

As someone who personally looked for the information about the appearance of the apprentice necromancer who appeared in their kingdom, Long Fuzi make it sure that he had read all the books recording the details in that incident that happened 18 years ago.

In fact, he deliberately tried looking for the names of the parties involved. But there is no single book that mentioned the names of anyone related to it.

If not for personally asking his father about it, he won't even know that it was actually related to the Mu clan.

Of course, no one will know about this information. But Mu Lingxi certainly does. After all, it was her mother's name.

Although Mu Ruochen purposely hides the truth about her parents, the 'previous' Mu Lingxi was still told about the names of her parents.

Her mother's name is Yu Yan. A beautiful name that suits her perfectly. Since that name was derived from a phrase that describes women who have beautiful smiles.

While her father's name is Jianjun, Mu Jianjun. His grandfather, Mu Ruochen, named his son like that because he wanted his son to be the strongest general who would build and lead the strongest army that will protect their country.

”The Clan Head told him about it himself. I heard it.”
