The Sky Tower Ruler
Episode 3

Meng Wan let out a long sigh then said, "You shouldn't have to ask why, because I don't want to embarrass you. But if you really want to know why, then I'll say."

Gu Xingyan's facial wrinkle grew even scarlet upon hearing that, "Your son is inappropriate for my daughter, let alone Yixue will soon become a disciple in the Heavenly Bird sect."

Everyone was so astonished to hear the name of the strongest sect in the city mentioned by Meng Wan, not everyone could enter the sect.

Only talented and privileged people would be accepted into the Heavenly Bird sect, and Yixue was the one accepted there because she had a Heavenly body that was qualified for her to be accepted into the sect.

Xing Yan had no time to say anything else, Gu Lang had already stepped forward and said, "Alright if that's what you want, then, starting today I Gu Lang have already canceled my engagement and Meng Yixue. From this second on, there's no more bonding between us."

Just now Gu Xing Yan was surprised to hear that, the article had been Gu Lang himself who was eager to maintain the matchmaking.

And now without a doubt he ended it himself, and made it seem as if he was the one who had thrown Yixue away and not vice versa.

"Xiao Lang, are you sure of what you said?"

"I'm sure, dad. Besides I don't need anything useless, especially something that's secondhand!" Gu Lang glanced cynically at Yixue, with a mocking smile.

That Gu Lang's words, naturally made everyone even more shocked even more Xing Yan, Meng Wan and also Yixue who felt Gu Lang was currently different from the coward Gu Lang that used to be.

"Why do I feel Gu Lang is a little different?" inner Yixue was confused.

"What do you mean Gu Lang, you dare insult my son!?" Meng Wan who was provoked by anger, instantly snapped at Gu Lang and used her aura to suppress Gu Lang.

Although he was surprised, Gu Lang swiftly took out a black shadow and resisted the pressure making it seem as if it had no effect at all on him.

Since others could not see the black aura that enveloped Gu Lang's body, they were flabbergasted even more so Meng Wan.

He could not believe what he saw, how could the person he had been humbling and despising just seemed to be completely unaffected get any pressure from him.

Though others whose strength was beneath him, there were some who got to their knees and some who held him with great difficulty.

Xing Yan was amazed to see the change his son was now no longer a coward, "Uncle Meng could ask her own daughter uncle, about what she had done with Gu Feng."

After saying that, Gu Lang invited the father to leave the sickening meeting hall.

But the moment they reached the exit, Gu Lang stopped and turned around to say something.

"For the matter of you guys wanting to kick me out, I don't mind. But everything will be decided by family competition. If I can't win that game, then I'll leave this family with pleasure."

The embarrassed Meng Wan also immediately invited Yixue to go home with her, and would interrogate her about what Gu Lang had said when they got home.

While the third elder was annoyed, but was also happy at the same time. He would immediately contact Gu Feng about the bet that Gu Lang made himself.

Arriving at their courtyard, Gu Lang made his point to his father. He wanted to return to the Crescent Moon sect to practice again.

"Xiao Lang, Why do you have to go back to the sect?" tanyakanya.

"I have to be dad. I don't want to be stamped as a frog in a shell. Dad always protected me, and that would make me unable to thrive. So I had to return to the sect to train and become even stronger" Gu Lang said.

"Alright, I can't stand in your way either. If you really want to return to the sect, then come back. Try and practice well."

Finally Gu Lang decided to return to the sect. Gu Xing Yan delivered his son's departure to the front gate of his house.

Gu Lang rode his horse and darted quickly away from the Gu family home, after saying goodbye to his father who looked so heavy to take his leave.

The distance from his house leading to the Crescent Moon sect was quite a distance away, Gu Lang took days to get there.

And arriving at the sect, Gu Lang headed straight to the Cloud pavilion to borrow a cultivation technique book. He was so lacking in skill at the moment, he needed a skill book to practice.

Now Gu Lang arrived at a very large and magnificent building. Strangely enough, there was only one guard on duty. Gu Lang got off his horse and walked towards that place.

"Greetings senior," Gu Lang said as he cupped his hands together in front of his chest, making the pavilion guards stare at him.

"Senior, my name is Gu Lang. I'm here to borrow a style book," Gu Lang said, stating the intention of his arrival.

"Level 7?" he muttered, "You can only borrow books on the first floor, and a maximum of only two books. After you pick the book you want, meet me."

Gu Lang was lucky because his guess was very precise. A place that big is only guarded by one person, and that means only one, that person is very great.

His two lives knowledge was really useful. That person could even figure out his strength with just a glance, somehow powerful that person was.

Gu Lang nodded at the pavilion guard, then went inside thinking. As the saying goes, above the sky is still the sky. So he really had to put in more effort, to become even stronger.

Inside the Cloud pavilion, Gu Lang was choosing the book he wanted to study.

The first, he found the 5th Lightning Life-delivering handbook. Once issued a move, 5 lives will be lost. The stance was suitable for the owner of the lightning spiritual root.

The second was the Yin Yang Flame sword stance. Using fire to form a sword as a weapon, this was suitable for the owner of the fire spiritual root.

Then there is also the Steel Bear style that uses physical strength, to form a very strong body protector. A very suitable course for the owner of the spiritual roots of the animal.
