“I did not expect you to be able to come to this place. I’m truly surprised. If you want me to help you resolve the curse, come into the tower. I’ll help you solve your problem when you see me.”

 

It was Jing Xiang’s first time hearing the Early Ancestor’s voice after he came to the Land of Eternity. After being startled for a moment, he was elated.

 

Nevertheless, he did not dare to tell anyone about it. He forced himself to calm down. After all, there were many people here, including the Patriarch and the Seniors of the Jing Family. They might detect something.

 

But now, the anomaly shown on Jing Xiang’s face could not be hidden from his parents.

 

They exchanged glances and took Jing Xiang to the back of everyone before inquiring about it.

 

Jing Xiang had not replied to the voice in his mind yet. Faced with his parents’ inquiry, he did not hide anything from them. He informed them that the Early Ancestor inside the tower was communicating with him.

 

[Is he really the Early Ancestor?] Jing Xiang’s parents were flabbergasted, but they were also slightly doubtful.

 

However, they could not verify anything at this point.

 

Meanwhile, Jing Xiang was communicating with the voice, asking how he could find the Early Ancestor. “I’m trapped on the highest floor of the tower. If you want to come here, you have to go through the lower 17 floors. Given your power, you might not be able to come here. Moreover, once you enter the tower, you might not be able to leave again. Naturally, if you can achieve reach the top, you can try destroying the tower. It’s just that those Juniors of the Jing Family will not agree to it.”

 

The voice sounded amused and scornful. Jing Xiang fell silent upon hearing that. Given his power, he could not even enter the tower, let alone destroy it.

 

It was something he could never achieve.

 

When Jing Xiao noticed his hesitation and struggle, she offered a suggestion. “Brother, why don’t you inform everyone about the secrets you’re aware of and see how the Elders will react?”

 

Jing Xiang shook his head, saying that no one would believe him even if he exposed everything.

 

Moreover, if such a matter was true, it would be a scandal for the Jing Family. The Elders would not allow the scandal to spread.

 

He would be lying if he said he was not tempted to have his curse removed. Moreover, the solution was right before his eyes.

 

The light went out of Jing Xiao’s eyes.

 

“It seems you’re in a dilemma, Junior Brother Jing Xiang. What’s troubling you?”

 

All of a sudden, a voice sounded from a short distance which caught the attention of Jing Xiang’s parents.

 

They were shocked when they saw that the person was the mysterious young man in white clothes whom Jing Xiao had stolen glances at.

 

He had entered this place along with them but disappeared after that. It was a wonder where he had been. Much to their surprise, he suddenly made an appearance at this point.

 

They were curious about this young man whom Ling Qiuchang had mentioned in a letter.

 

Besides his identity and background, they were also curious about why their Daughter was fond of this young man.

 

Jing Xiao lifted her head with surprise upon hearing the voice. On the other hand, Jing Xiang did not expect Gu Changge to suddenly appear and say such a thing to him. He looked at him in puzzlement.

 

Gu Changge slowly approached them and swept a glance over the magnificent tower before putting on a smile. “The tower will be destroyed sooner or later. If you intend to go inside, you can start planning now, Junior Brother Jing Xiang.”

 

He was aware of what was on Jing Xiang’s mind as he could easily see through his secrets.

 

Jing Xiang was astounded. He realised that when Gu Changge looked at him, the voice of the Early Ancestor which had been communicating with him suddenly vanished.

 

“What do you mean by that, Senior Brother Gu?” Jing Xiang appeared cautious.

 

Gu Changge was mysterious, but he was not like Ling Yuxian who had many secrets and concerns in her mind. He was inscrutable and unpredictable. No one could ever see through his mind.

 

Even when he was smiling gently, anyone would be terrified when they saw him.

 

“Junior Brother Jing Xiang, I have some speculation about what you’ve been going through as of late, so you don’t have to be surprised,” Gu Changge said with a smile.

 

Jing Xiang was cautious and vigilant upon hearing that. “Aren’t you and Ling Yuxian on the same side?” he asked.

 

“Of course not. She has her things to do and I have mine. Why would we be on the same side? Instead, we have very different goals. She has come to the Land of Eternity to save the trapped Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace . On the other hand, I’m here to see the Early Ancestor of the Jing Family and ask him some questions.” Gu Changge still kept a smile on his face.

 

“What? You want to see our Early Ancestor?” Jing Xiang was shocked, not expecting Gu Changge to have such a goal. Jing Xiao was equally astounded. She had never heard Gu Changge bring it up before.

 

Moreover, if that was indeed the case, what Ling Yuxian had told her before would be true.

 

Gu Changge only wanted to come into contact with her because she was from the Jing Family. He intended to find out more about the Jing Family from her.

 

The light went out of Jing Xiao’s eyes. She stared fixedly at Gu Changge, hoping to hear an explanation from him.

 

However, Gu Changge’s expression did not change much, nor did he even spare her a glance. He was still speaking to Jing Xiang with a smile, assuring the latter not to be worried. He could help him destroy the tower so that the latter could see the Early Ancestor of the Jing Family.

 

[He’ll help me see the Early Ancestor?] Jing Xiang was tempted upon hearing his words. However, he was not foolish. He did not believe there was any free lunch in this world.

 

“What’s sealed inside the tower? What will the consequences be if we destroy the tower?”

 

Jing Xiang’s parents suddenly felt a chill running down their spines. They hurriedly pulled him to their back.

 

In their opinion, Gu Changge’s intention was not to help Jing Xiang but to destroy the tower.

 

A glint flashed across Gu Changge’s eyes as he shook his head. “You have to ask the Patriarch about what the consequences will be. After all, I’m only an outsider.”
