Bai Lu's Letter

Gu Ziyi:

Given how smart you are, you must have already guessed that my cousin and I have returned to the Haotian Sect.

I'm sure the reason isn't hard for you to guess either—it's because Big Cousin discovered what was going on between you and my cousin.

That day, after we helped my cousin attach her spirit ring, she said she wanted to go back and invite you to join the Haotian Sect. Unfortunately, Big Cousin refused, saying your aptitude was insufficient.

Naturally, my cousin refused to accept that. She tried to persuade him again and again, but in the end, Big Cousin directly exposed what was between her and you.

Although I don't know how Big Cousin discovered it, that no longer matters. Since your relationship has been exposed, the outcome is obvious.

Big Cousin didn't agree, and neither did Second Cousin.

After Second Cousin found out, he even wanted to go back and teach you a lesson. Fortunately, Big Cousin held him back.

Afterward, Big Cousin and Second Cousin tried to persuade my cousin together, saying that you were completely unworthy of her. If she truly got together with you, she would bring shame upon the entire Haotian Sect.

In the end, Big Cousin even declared that if Uncle found out—oh, Uncle is the Haotian Sect Master—Big Cousin implied to my cousin that if he learned about your relationship, you would be in danger.

Although my cousin was heartbroken, she ultimately compromised for your sake.

After returning to the sect, I also asked my cousin whether she wanted to write you a letter as a final farewell.

But she refused. She was afraid that staying in contact with you would hurt you.

Still, after thinking it over, I decided I should tell you. After all, we were friends, weren't we? No matter what, you were the one who solved my cousin's inability to cultivate.

If you truly like my cousin and still want to be with her, then do your best!

Find a way to grow stronger. If you become strong enough for the Haotian Sect to accept you, you can still be together with my cousin.

You're both still young, anyway. There will be plenty of time in the future.

So, young man, work hard and become stronger!

"..."

Looking at the letter in his hand, Gu Ziyi was quite surprised. He had not expected the letter to be written by Bai Lu.

Gu Ziyi stared at the letter in his hand for a long time without speaking.

Everything was exactly as he had guessed.

Sure enough, Tang Xiao had discovered them.

Gu Ziyi had already expected this, so he was not overly angry when he saw it.

But this incident made him realize that living off a woman was not so easy after all.

If you had no value—or rather, if you had not displayed enough value—you could not even afford to live off a woman.

Especially in a world like the Douluo Continent, where strength reigned supreme.

The reason he had managed to win Tang Yuehua's heart before was that Tang Yuehua was still young. Moreover, she had always been unable to cultivate, and Gu Ziyi had solved that problem for her. The impact he had brought her was too great, which gave Gu Ziyi an opening.

In the original story, the reason Yu Xiaogang had won Bibi Dong's and Liu Erlong's hearts was not only because of the wisdom he displayed and their love-struck minds, but also because he was the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan Master.

Now, he had won Tang Yuehua's heart, but if the Haotian Sect refused to accept him, there was nothing he could do.

Tang Yuehua's concern actually made sense. If he went to their door and stubbornly pestered her, it would be no different from seeking death.

Tang Yuehua was probably worried about that, which was why she did not give him even a shred of hope! Gu Ziyi knew that Tang Yuehua still liked him.

But that was useless, unless he became strong, just as Bai Lu had said.

Gu Ziyi also believed that he would definitely grow stronger in the future.

But after this incident, did he really want to grow stronger and then go to the Haotian Sect to pursue Tang Yuehua? Gu Ziyi did not want that. He was not that desperate.

"Being with me would bring shame upon the Haotian Sect?"

After carefully rereading the descriptions of the Tang Xiao and Tang Hao brothers, Gu Ziyi laughed in anger.

"If anyone is going to bring shame upon the Haotian Sect, it'll be you two brothers in the future!"

"You both fell in love with a spirit beast!"

"Especially Tang Hao. Even after learning that Ah Yin was a spirit beast, he still refused to give up, completely ignoring how disgraceful that was to the sect!"

"The Haotian Sect is the Number One Sect Under Heaven, and it even regards protecting the Douluo Continent as its duty. But when it came to you, all of that was cast aside!"

"You call yourself a sect slave, yet you could abandon the sect for your wife!"

"And now you actually have the nerve to lecture your own sister!"

As Gu Ziyi grumbled inwardly, he tore the letter in his hand into tiny shreds.

"No matter what, I didn't actually lose out this time. At least I got a spirit bone!"

"And with Tang Yuehua's help, the Advanced Meditation Technique was developed in a relatively short time!"

"I only lost a beautiful, wealthy girl, that's all!"

After destroying the evidence, Gu Ziyi quickly calmed down.

He had approached Tang Yuehua with the attitude that it would be great if he could win her over, but it did not matter if he could not. So Tang Yuehua's departure did not hurt him all that much.

"Heaven Treasure Academy was no longer an option either..."

"Since Tang Xiao could say he'd use me to threaten Tang Yuehua, he might very well be considering getting rid of me outright!"

"I can't pin my hopes on the possibility that he'll never change his mind!"

"I have to leave immediately—today!"

After calming down, Gu Ziyi realized that his situation was not absolutely safe.

Especially since he had a soul bone on him!

Even if Clear Sky Sect had no intention of eliminating him, he would still be in danger if they revealed that they had given him a soul bone.

They could even make the matter public openly, claiming that someone had helped Tang Yuehua solve her inability to cultivate, and that Clear Sky Sect had given out a soul bone as a gift of thanks.

That would also let them promote Clear Sky Sect's gratitude and display the magnanimity of the Number One Sect Under Heaven.

So he had to leave as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the semester had already ended, so Gu Ziyi's departure would not seem abrupt.

After returning to his dormitory and packing his belongings, Gu Ziyi left that very day.

After leaving Heaven Treasure Academy, Gu Ziyi found himself somewhat directionless, unsure where to go.

Should he simply find another Intermediate Soul Master Academy to join?

With his current Soul Power Level, finding an Intermediate Soul Master Academy would be much easier than before.

But could attending another Intermediate Soul Master Academy really help him avoid Clear Sky Sect? Gu Ziyi thought that would be difficult.

"If I'm going somewhere, it has to be a place Clear Sky Sect can't afford to provoke!"

Once he thought that, Gu Ziyi quickly made his decision, his gaze turning resolute.

"Spirit Hall!"

That was right—Gu Ziyi planned to head to Spirit Hall.

With his one-of-a-kind support martial soul, joining Spirit Hall would not be difficult.
