Starting from a short stick, becoming the master of the universe

Gu Changkong fell silent.

No matter how reluctant he was, he had to admit that what Gu Changlin said made sense.

The truth cannot be hidden, let alone if someone with ulterior motives adds fuel to the fire.
Just like Gu Changlin.

The other party could easily spread the news after hanging up the phone. I believe it would reach the woman's ears within a day.

By then, he should be fine, but it's hard to say about Jiang Cheng. The Black Turtle Shield is very powerful, but no matter how powerful it is, can it block the attack of a level 3 or even a level 3 master? The opponent can kill Jiang Cheng right under his nose and then walk away!

Thinking further, if the position of the future head of the family is really inherited by Gu Changjun, not to mention his mother, even Gu Changjun himself will most likely not let him go, right?

Thinking of this, Gu Changkong felt a huge sense of powerlessness in his heart.

He knew that he was not qualified to compete for the position of Patriarch, and he did not want to be involved in the battle for the position, but once you enter the world of martial arts, you have no choice.

Even if he just wanted to protect his own piece of land, others would not let him do so. Just like Gu Changjun, if he had not sent Huang Xing, wouldn't nothing have happened?
"How about it, Third Brother, do you want to cooperate with me?"

Gu Changlin's voice finally sounded again.

"Do I have a second choice?"

Gu Changkong laughed bitterly.

Apart from joining Gu Changlin, there are only two choices.

The first one was the one he had chosen before, which was to stay out of it, but now it seems that this option is obviously not feasible.

If Gu Changjun becomes the head of the family, he will definitely suffer the consequences.

If he fails, he won't be able to protect Jiangcheng, and everything will be in vain in the end.

Moreover, now that Gu Changlin has become the head of the family, will his good days begin?

The second option is to do the opposite and join Gu Changjun, who is favored by his father and has the Bai family behind him. This may be a way out.

But as soon as this idea came up, he rejected it.

Because the reason why this series of events happened was because of Gu Changjun? When he saw that the intruder was Huang Xing, he wanted to kill Gu Changjun!
Not to mention, he has never been optimistic about the other party since he was a child, thinking that the other party is not fit to be the head of the family. Even if he becomes the head of the family, the Gu family will decline rapidly.

Of course, there is another way out besides these three options, which is to tell my father about this.

This method seemed feasible at first, but it was actually asking for trouble. After all, what was he going to say? Say that Gu Changjun and his mother wanted to harm him? If his father heard it, it would be a relief if he didn't scold him.

"So, you have finally made up your mind to follow me?" Gu Changlin showed a faint smile on his face.

"Yes."

Gu Changkong took a deep breath and agreed.

"Hahaha."

Gu Changlin laughed heartily.

However, the current direction of events is almost exactly as he guessed.

"Third brother, I'm glad you're willing to follow me, but you have to prove your sincerity. I don't think I need to teach you how to prove it, right?"

Gu Changkong frowned slightly.

He understood what the other party meant.

The approach was to expose Huang Xing's involvement in the incident and make it known, the bigger the noise the better.

This cut off his retreat and caused him and Gu Changjun to completely fall out.

"Why, you can't bear it?"

Gu Changlin's voice sounded, and he said in a somewhat joking tone:
"Or do you want to keep your promise?"

"No."

Gu Changkong shook his head.

He is not a pedantic person.

Making the agreement with Gu Changjun was a helpless choice, and he was also prepared in his heart for the possibility that the other party would not abide by the agreement.

If Gu Changjun's mother knew about this, the so-called promise would seem more like a joke.

"I'm worried that once this matter gets out, Gu Changjun will be furious and might attack Jiang Cheng at any cost." "You think highly of him, don't you?"

Gu Changlin said with a smile.

“He deserves such attention.”

Gu Changkong replied after hesitating for a moment.

Since you have chosen to stand on Gu Changlin's side, it would be unwise to hide anything.

And with the latter's skills, sooner or later he will know all this.

"Oh? Please elaborate."

Gu Changlin immediately became interested.

The main reason he made this call was to disgust Gu Changjun and, ideally, to ruin his reputation.

In fact, the purpose was to win over Gu Changjun and eliminate a potential competitor.

As for Jiangcheng, it was the last consideration. After all, there were alchemists in the inner city who were able to refine top-level calming pills, and some were even able to refine top-level awakening pills.

"Brother, Jiang Cheng can now refine top-grade Awakening Pills, and all ten of them are top-grade."

"what!"

Hearing this, Gu Changlin couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"One furnace, ten top-grade awakening pills? Are you sure?"

"I saw it with my own eyes."

Gu Changkong nodded.

"However, Jiang Cheng uses a lot of medicinal materials. Ten portions of medicinal materials are needed to refine a furnace of top-grade awakening pills. But even so, the profit is very considerable."

"good."

Gu Changlin murmured.

So what if there are ten portions of medicinal herbs?
As long as I can make enough money.

"No wonder that kid Gu Changjun sent people to kill him. If that kid was recruited by him, I'm afraid I would also have to send people to do this."

He muttered to himself, excitement in his eyes.

Gu Changkong felt uncomfortable when he heard this.

But there is nothing we can do.

After all, with his strength, he couldn't protect Jiang Cheng. Introducing Jiang Cheng to Gu Changlin would be good for both of them.

"Third brother, how about this? I'll go to your place tomorrow to see if that boy is as powerful as you say. If he is, don't worry. I, Gu Changlin, will never treat you unfairly. If I eat, you will drink."

"You're welcome, bro."

Gu Changkong smiled bitterly.

"Okay, let's do this for now. As for the matter of Huang Xing, we will do as you say. It won't be too late for us to expose it when they make some moves. By then, the people in the family will also know that it's not that we don't want to keep things quiet, it's just that they are going too far."

"it is good."

"Okay, that's it for now. Go to sleep first. I'll come to see you early tomorrow morning." Gu Changlin gave another instruction and hung up the phone.

"The third brother really gave me a big surprise. No wonder he wanted to protect this person to the death."

A smile appeared on Gu Changlin's face.

He knew very well when Gu Changkong borrowed the medicinal herbs from their father. How long had it been since then?

If we can keep this person firmly in our hands, it would be like having a cash cow. How much money will we have in the future?
After hanging up the phone, Gu Changkong didn't feel sleepy at all.

He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the scenery outside, and sighed.

Again, he didn't want to take this step, but there was no other way. (End of this chapter)
