Chapter 180: His Deity, His Belief
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Gu Zhicheng was so excited that his beard trembled.
“Good! Good! Good! Xiaonan, you’re amazing!”
Originally, he had only wanted to please his eldest daughter by giving up a spot.
He never expected this illegitimate grandson, who came from a disgraceful background, to bring so much honor and prestige to the Gu family!
What excited him even more was the fact that Gu Xiaonan was so powerful; he must have consumed the spirit pills from the Island of No Return to enhance his cultivation.
After taking the Universe Stabilizer pill himself, Gu Zhicheng deeply appreciated the benefits of the pills from the Island of No Return; they were nothing short of miraculous elixirs.
Gu Xiaonan’s exceptional abilities could not have been possible without the help of those pills.
The Island of No Return was so powerful. As long as he established a good relationship with Gu Qingluan, he could ascend to the Island of No Return in no time!
With the assistance of the Island of No Return, his cultivation could reach new heights, and the Gu family would also have a group of powerful experts.
By then, under his leadership, the Gu family would flourish and become the number one noble family in the Cloud Plains Continent!
Gu Xiaonan glanced at Gu Zhicheng and squeezed into Gu Qingluan’s arms, acting cute. “Mom, am I good?”
“Very good!” Gu Qingluan smiled and pinched his soft little face.
Feng Yuanxi looked at their affectionate appearance, envy evident in his eyes.
Ah, he also wanted Beautiful Sister to pinch his face!
“Squeak! Squeak!” Xiaobai jumped into Gu Xiaonan’s arms, excitedly raising its little paw.
Its young master was so amazing!
Indeed, he was Xiaobai’s young master!
Xiaomei fluttered its wings and landed on Gu Xiaonan’s shoulder, shouting excitedly, “Young master is incredible!”
Su Lie and Bo He stood beside them, equally excited.
Although they knew that Gu Xiaonan was powerful, witnessing his performance in the arena made them feel proud.
Even Jing Feng was happy for him.
“Turns out Young Master Gu is so amazing! No wonder you joined the competition! 1 believe you will definitely make it to the top three!”
“Hehe, I appreciate Uncle Jing Feng’s kind words!”
While they enjoyed the lively atmosphere, in contrast, Feng Tianlan, who sat on another high platform, seemed unhappy.
Unlike the four major families, the members of the royal family watched the competition from a pavilion with the best seats.
Feng Tianlan sat there with the Crown Prince, Qitian You.
Apart from Qitian You, no one else had a higher status than Feng Tianlan in the royal family.
The members of the royal family knew that Feng Tianlan was a distinguished figure from the Holy Heaven Dynasty and dared not act too casually in front of him, leading to a somewhat solemn atmosphere in the pavilion.
Feng Tianlan looked from afar at the lively scene in the Gu family’s camp and pressed his thin lips into a line.
Others didn’t know why he was unhappy, but they could feel the chill emanating from him. Everyone whispered about the peculiarity but no one dared to approach him.
Qitian You sat next to Feng Tianlan and followed his gaze, smiling. “This child is truly unexpected. Such cultivation at such a young age is rare. There are few people in the world who can surpass him. Even if he doesn’t make it to the top three this time, he is still an extraordinary talent. Have you considered making an exception and admitting him?”
A faint glint flashed in Feng Tianlan’s narrow and pitch-black eyes. Just as Qitian You thought he wouldn’t answer, Feng Tianlan spoke, “No need.”
This child was indeed talented, almost comparable to his son. Gu Xiaonan didn’t need the help of Feng Tianlan to get admitted to the Qiankun Academy; Gu Xiaonan could join even without his help.
Feng Tianlan didn’t expect such a gifted prodigy to emerge from a small place like Chengyuan Kingdom.
Through the gentle breeze and radiant brilliance, Feng Tianlan looked from afar.
His son stuck closely to the woman’s body, his bright, black eyes fixed on her as if she were his deity, his belief.
His slender, phoenix-like eyes slightly narrowed, and a dangerous glint flickered through them.
A soft snort suddenly resounded in the pavilion.
The members of the royal family present all shivered, looking at each other before cautiously glancing at Feng Tianlan.
Who provoked this lord’s displeasure?
