"Wait!" Mister Zong and Gu Lang both stared fixedly at Bong Quan with faces filled with question marks. And Bong Quan immediately descended from Pang's back, and ran over to Mr. Zong, "Are you Mr. Zong, the famous array master?" bong Quan asked with a face that looked very enthusiastic.
Gu Lang frowned, as he did not know who Lord Zong was. And in Gu Lang's original memory, there was also no information about the old man.
While Mr. Zong just smiled at Bong Quan who turned out to know him, "It turns out you recognize me young man? But unfortunately your friend doesn't seem to recognize me." He glanced at Gu Lang then said goodbye and immediately left from there.
Gu Lang and Bong Quan also resumed their journey towards the crescent moon sect, and along the way, Bong Quan unceasingly asked Gu Lang why he had rejected the rare offer from master Zong earlier to make Gu Lang careless to hear it.
"Gu Lang, why did you refuse that offer? Do you know..."
Bong Quan had not yet finished his words, Gu Lang had already interrupted him and said, "I don't know and don't want to know anything about the old man." Gu Lang replied, "Because as strong as he is, he can't possibly be any stronger than the old master." Of course, the connection is only in the heart.
Bong Quan could only take a deep breath, as making Gu Lang change his mind seemed to be quite impossible.

After an exhausting journey, Gu Lang and Bong Quan finally arrived in front of the crescent sect gate.
Gu Lang deliberately stopped his horse at a place a little far from the sect entrance gate, as he had to go inside there without being seen by the guards. Although he was a disciple of the crescent moon sect, but he was already determined to make Gu Lang, die in everyone's eyes for a while.
"Wait here, I won't be long. And from now on you must remember, never call me by the name of Gu Lang. Call me Hao Feng."
Bong Quan nodded obediently then sat down cross-legged and read Gu Lang's handbook, waiting for Gu Lang to finish his business.
Gu Lang shot up as fast as lightning using cloud steps, making the two gatekeepers bewildered as they felt a gust of wind but only as fierce as it could be, but they also do not see anything suspicious so they choose not to care about it.
Inside the Xiao San residence...
"Sister, is Gu Lang really going to return safely?" bingyan asked Mu Yue.
Ever since Gu Lang's departure, they had indeed stayed at Xiao San's place, along with the Great elder to look after Xiao San as Gu Lang requested before he left.
"Calm down. That boy is very strong, much stronger than we thought. So you don't have to worry about it, Bingyan." Mu Yue gently stroked the top of her sister's head to calm her down, although she did not know why her sister was usually indifferent and never cared about the people around her other than her, could be worried about that to Gu Lang, the person he had just met and had helped him once.
When the brother was talking, the sound of the door suddenly opened, making the three people in the room turn towards the source of the voice.
"Gu Lang?" lirih Bingyan who was somehow very sure if the man before her was really Gu Lang.
And of course Gu Lang was quite surprised because Bingyang could recognize him even though he was already tempted by the disguise.
"Yes, it's me. I don't have much time. I just want to tell you, if I survive and still live, I have also managed to destroy the five great families in the city of Biluo. But I made myself die in the eyes of people, and live with a new face and identity, at least for a while." Gu Lang dispelled his disguise to make his friends believe what he said.
Mu Yue and Xiao San were stunned to see Gu Lang being able to change his face in a matter of seconds.
"So this is really you?" Xiao San clasped both shoulders of Gu Lang with a look of happiness and boundless gratitude, "Whatever reason you're doing this, but I will support you even if I can't help you solve your problems."
Gu Lang nodded and said goodbye to Xiao San. But when he was just about to leave, Bingyan stopped his steps.
"Wait, Gu Lang." Gu Lang looked at Bingyan who was running towards him until he stopped right in front of him and said, "Let me come along. Maybe I won't help much, but I promise I won't trouble you."
Gu Lang and Mu Yue were of course surprised by Bingyan's wishes.
"Bingyan, are you serious? Gu Lang would definitely go to a dangerous place, hence he used another identity." Said Mu Yue who was absolutely right.
"No, brother, I still have to come. My gut tells me that Gu Lang will need me, later."
After various considerations, Gu Lang finally agreed to Bingyan's request as well as Mu Yue who was forced to give permission to her sister because Bingyan continued to insist. And he knew that Bingyan was equally stubborn and could not be prevented by anyone if he made a decision.
However since Gu Lang had come secretly, he had Mu Yue drive Bingyan to the gate to meet him again outside the sect.

"Bingyan, beware!" mu Yue exclaimed as the horse that Gu Lang and Mu Yue were riding on had already dashed away leaving her. Mu Yue let out a long sigh, "Maybe it is indeed the only way for Bingyan to be freed from father."
"Gu Lang, who is this woman? Your boyfriend? Your wife?" bong Quan asked along the way, which made Gu Lang gasp and made Bingyan's cheeks meet red to hear him.
"Can you shut up? If you can't, I'd rather just leave you here."
Bong Quan also poked his lips back, hearing Gu Lang's threat that made him inevitably have to close his mouth tightly. And Bingyan also could only hold back her laughter seeing the silliness of the two men, yet somehow, she felt very happy when Bong Quan thought that she was Gu Lang's woman.
