The Sky Tower Ruler
Episode 67's

But Gu Lang did not bother at all let alone answer Bong Quan's question, and continued walking until they came out of the inn. "Thankfully there's another way out." Gu Lang breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the sea of humans in front of the inn who were still whispering about the incident earlier, even though the radiance of the aura had suddenly disappeared.

Not wanting to waste his time on such useless things as fame, Gu Lang immediately walked to the daycare and took his horse and Pang and then left.

Gu Lang sped his horse at high speed, leaving the inn on the road behind the inn so he wouldn't have to face the crowd of curious locals.

"Hey!" Gu Lang was speeding up his horse, as he sensed a foreign aura following them. "Damn! A strong aura. Even though I joined Bong Quan, it is still very difficult to defeat him." Inner Gu Lang worriedly, as he could feel that the aura of the person following him was extremely strong.

Even after a few minutes of travel, that fellow still continued to follow them without any intention of stopping them even though he could have done just that, given his strength that was above Gu Lang.

"It looks like this guy didn't mean anything bad. I'd better stop and ask him what his purpose was to follow me from now on." Thought Gu Lang who a moment later immediately pulled the reins of his horse and made the warhorse neigh with its legs raised and then stopped.

"What's wrong? Why stop?" asked Bong Quan who was surprised why Gu Lang suddenly stopped without warning, making him almost hit and kiss the butt of the horse that Gu Lang was riding on, if only Pang hadn't stopped in time.

But Gu Lang actually raised his hand towards Bong Quan, as a sign for him to be quiet and not ask a lot of questions because there were more important things than just answering a rain of questions from him.

"Get out! Aren't you tired of following us since?" gu Lang exclaimed as he looked forward, precisely towards a large tree with its leaves so shady.

And sure enough, just after Gu Lang called for the stalker to come out of his hiding place, the man jumped down from the tree that Gu Lang had been looking at with a sharp look.

"It turns out you already know that, young man?" asked the man, who turned out to be a man who seemed to be quite old when viewed from his beard and hair that was partly white because of inedible age.

Gu Lang only nodded without showing the slightest bit of fear or panic at the sight of the old man, although he knew if they were to really fight, then he would have to exert all his strength if he wanted to survive, even though it is still difficult.

"I know you don't mean anything to us. So tell me, what's your purpose in following us, sir?" Gu Lang immediately asked the old man's intention of following him.

"It turns out you're very smart, young man. It seems I'm getting convinced to make you my apprentice." The old man smiled at Gu Lang while stroking his long beard.

"Murids?" paro Gu Lang and Bong Quan were together, as they were quite surprised to hear the reason the old man who was none other than that Zong master, was following them.

Gu Lang frowned hearing Master Zong's words to him, and thought hard what reason did master Zong suddenly offer him to be the only disciple he chose.

Until finally his estimate fell on one very strong presumption, namely the radiance of spiritual aura that he had just released. He remembered that in his illusionary skill book, the first process was the opening of the first gate, the Baihui gate, which was also the first process that one who wanted to become an array master had to undergo. But what Gu Lang did not understand was, how could master Zong know if the aura was his.

"You're confused why I know you're the owner of the city's electrifying aura?" his question made Gu Lang nod without hesitation, "That's because earlier, I accidentally saw you and there just happened to be a spiritual aura that was the same as the aura from the radiance, still lingering around your body. So I can make sure you're the one." Reply Mr. Zong in full.

"Sorry sir..." Gu Lang purposely hung up his words, for mister Zong to say what his name was.

"Zongs. Just call me that."

"Zong?" inner Bong Quan, "I've heard this name before, but where have you been?"

"Alright Mr. Zong, I'm very grateful that you think I'm so high. But I'm sorry that I can't be your student, because I already have a teacher."

Mr. Zong nodded his head, a sign that he understood. But that didn't necessarily make him give up on making the seedling of the array master as good as Gu Lang as his student, "Isn't it alright to have two teachers at the same time?" he said, "I'll make you my student, but you can still be your teacher's student as well. How's it?" ask again.

"I'm sorry again, sir. But I have an important mission to complete immediately, and I am just like you, sir. I'll only have one teacher, for good." Gu Lang cupped his hands together in front of his chest, as an apology because he could not accept the offer from master Zong.

Hearing Gu Lang who was still adamant about not accepting his offer, finally, even Master Zong could only sigh resignedly because he also had to respect Gu Lang's decision.

"Well, if that's your decision. I can't force you, but accept this. Maybe you'll need it, someday." Mr. Zong gave a jade plaque to Gu Lang that had a phoenix engraving and Zong writing on it.

"Alright Mr. Zong, thank you and sorry once again." Gu Lang received the plaque from Mr. Zong.

But when Mr. Zong was just about to leave, Bong Quan called out and made Mr. Zong abandon his intentions.

"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.
