The Sky Tower Ruler
Episode 2

Hearing the name Gu Lang mentioned, his anger was lured out. But Gu Lang quickly tried to temper his father's anger.

"Dad not to worry, leave this matter to me. I'm sure, I can reply with my own hands!" Gu Lang looked at his father's eyes confidently.

"You really deserve to be my son, Gu Xing Yan. You're so brave."

Gu Xing Yan smilingly looked at his son, yet inwardly he could feel Gu Lang's change becoming bolder.

But Gu Xing Yan looked surprised, as he circulated his gaze and found that one of the wooden puppets there still emitted seven tiers of yellow light.

He looked towards Gu Lang, as there was no one else there but his son. Although he himself was also unsure, it was Gu Lang who used the training puppet.

"I just tried my strength, father," Gu Lang said as he looked at the confusion on his father's face.

Gu Xing Yan was surprised as well as delighted, hearing Gu Lang's words. Because Gu Lang had finally reached the level of a level 7 warrior.

Although on one hand, he was also confused as to why Gu Lang who had been trapped in the level of a level 5 warrior for so long, could suddenly shoot up to level 7, in such a short time.

"But haven't you been stuck at level five long enough, Xiao Lang? How can you suddenly level up, even two levels at once."

"Maybe yesterday's events awakened potential in me, Dad." Gu Lang looked for a reasonable reason to be accepted by his father, because he still did not want to tell anyone about the appearance of Black Shadow.

Gu Xing Yan felt very happy. His beloved son, was finally able to surpass his limits after being stuck at the level of a level 5 warrior for so long.

"Alright Xiao Lang, come tomorrow with my father to the family meeting," he said, "We'll see how they'll try to bring me down, the head of the Gu family."

"Good, dad. I won't let you down."

Gu Xing Yan told Gu Lang to go back to his room and rest. Without rebutting, she returned to her room and laid her body on the bed, while staring at the ceiling of her room.

"For so long I thought this kind of world existed only in comics and novels. But now I'm experiencing it myself." He muttered, which made him laugh a moment later.

Gu Lang was very happy, because he was finally able to live in the world he had dreamed of for a long time. He promised himself that he would make good use of his second chance.

"From now on, my name is Gu Lang. And those who once bullied me, I will repay you many times over!"

Gu Lang vowed to avenge all the ill-treatment he received, one by one! Making them feel, a more cruel retaliation, than a Gu Lang.

The day of family meetings arrived. The entire Gu family members had already gathered in the meeting hall of the Gu family.

Just as Gu Lang and his father were stepping into the family hall, various kinds of gossip had already been heard here and there.

Starting from the embarrassing incident, where the dying Gu Lang was escorted home by the person from the Crescent Moon sect.

Various rumors began to be heard from some members of the Gu family. They had already predicted what the purpose of the meeting this time, held.

Suddenly, a young man standing not far from Gu Lang raised his voice.

"Curtain! Is this trash not dead?" he said in an arrogant tone, "You should just die. You're just trash that embarrasses the family! And you even still have the face to come to the family meeting? I really don't know shame! Aren't you afraid of being a laughingstock!?"

The young man spoke as he folded his hands in front of his chest, and looked down at Gu Lang.

Just as Gu Lang was about to respond to Gu Ming's ridicule, the father immediately held his hand and shook his head slowly.

According to Gu Xing Yan, it was useless to talk to someone like Gu Ming. It is best that they wait for the family meeting to be over, and silence the mouths of those people with concrete actions.

Gu Lang nodded and obeyed his father, then resumed his steps to enter the family hall.

"You can only hide behind your armpits! You chick!" circus Gu Ming, insult Gu Lang viciously.

The moment everyone was waiting for, finally arrived. Family meetings began.

The third elder of the Gu family began his talk, "The elders, a few days ago the Crescent Sect came and visited with a pile of rotten carcasses. And this deeply tarnishes the surname of Gu! So I hope, Gu Lang will soon be kicked out of the Gu family!"

Just as Gu Xing Yan was about to speak, a gatekeeper came hurriedly to face him. And of course it made the third elder angry, and even nearly killed him if only Xing Yan did not prevent it.

"Say, what's up?" ask Gu Xing Yan.

"The heads of the Meng family and Ms. Meng Yixue are at the front, sir. They asked to meet you, the head of the family. I told you there were still family gatherings, but they still forced their way in."

"Meng Wan's? What'd he want to come here for?" xing Yan's mind was confused, why did the iron candidate come at such an inopportune time.

But unlike Xing Yan and Gu Lang who were confused by the arrival of the Meng family, the third elder actually smiled happily at their arrival.

Finally Xing Yan ordered the gatekeeper, to allow the Meng family to enter.

But not yet had the guard told that to the Meng family, they had already entered the meeting room.

"I'm sorry if my arrival interfered, Gu Xing Yan. I came just to cancel the engagement of Meng Yixue, and Gu Lang."

The difference in facial features was so noticeable between the third elder, Gu Lang, as well as Gu Xing Yan.

If Gu Xing Yan must have felt extremely angry at that one-sided decision. But the third elder was just the opposite, he fully supported Meng Wan's decision to cancel the engagement between Gu Lang and Meng Yixue.

While Gu Lang looks ordinary because he even just met his fiancee, who will soon become a former fiancee.

"How can you unilaterally cancel an engagement like this!? What's the reason you broke off our son Meng Wan's engagement? This arranged marriage had been arranged by their grandfathers both long ago."
