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

Gu Changlin had a beautiful dream.

In his dream, he became the patriarch of the Gu family, and his word was law in the family.

Gu Changjun, who had once competed with him for the position of head of the family, prostrated himself at his feet, crying and begging for his forgiveness.

Not only that, he also dreamed of Jiangcheng.

In the dream, the latter could refine ten furnaces of top-grade awakening pills a day, which could bring him 50 to 60 million in net profit every day, 1.5 to 1.6 billion a month, and 1.5 to 2.5 billion a year...

When he counted to one year, he felt like he was slapped in the face, and the pain woke him up all of a sudden.

What came into view was Gu Tianyuan with a gloomy face, as well as some elders in the family, all with solemn expressions.

Just then, I felt a burning sensation on my cheek.

Only then did Gu Changlin realize that the slap in the face was not an illusion but real. The person who slapped him should be his father.

"woke up?"

Gu Tianyuan's voice was filled with unprecedented coldness. "Wipe the saliva from the corners of your mouth when you wake up. Today, you have completely disgraced the reputation of my Gu family in the inner city!"

Gu Changlin's brain was still in a daze. Hearing this, he subconsciously wiped the corners of his mouth with his palm. Sure enough, there was a lot of saliva.

"?"

He was stunned.

What is the current situation?
Why is he here? Isn't he in the restaurant, having dinner with Jiang Cheng?

and many more.

Suddenly, a memory came to his mind.

Just as he was eating, a beautiful flute sound came from outside. The people around him either lay on the table or fell to the ground. Only he held on with the help of the Calming Pearl.

But it didn't hold up completely.

He did not have a deep understanding of the Calming Pearl. After all, as a seventh-grade treasure, it was the most valuable item in the family. In the recent period, he wanted to open up the two most important acupoints. Once they were opened up, he would be able to become a fourth-level master, so he borrowed it from his father, the head of the family.

Finally, his head sank and he lost consciousness.

At that time he thought he was in great danger and would not be able to escape, but now it seems that his life is saved.

and many more!

Something seems wrong!
Gu Changlin realized something, and the next moment, his face changed drastically!

Because he could no longer sense the existence of the Calming Pearl.

Although he did not drip blood to acknowledge the Calming Pearl as his owner, he still had some rights to use it. If it was still on him, he would be able to sense it no matter what.

At this moment, Gu Tianyuan's voice sounded, "What's wrong?"

Gu Changlin was awakened, raised his head and looked at the other party, his eyes full of fear.

Even the Gu family does not have many seventh-grade treasures.

Not to mention, the Calming Pearl is also a spiritual treasure. Resisting spiritual attacks is only one of its functions. The most important thing is that it can stabilize the mind and prevent going astray. Not to mention him, even his father needs its help when attacking the acupoints.

In the end, such a treasure was lost?

How could he say this?
"What happened?"

Gu Tianyuan also realized something, and there was some panic in his voice.

After receiving the news, the first thing he did was to rush to the scene and check Gu Changlin's body to see if he was injured.

So he naturally knew that all the treasures on Gu Changlin's body had been looted, but those were only treasures of the fifth or sixth grade. It was a pity to lose them, but as long as the person was fine, it was great news.

But looking at Gu Changlin's expression of despair, could it be that this rebellious son had carried with him the calming beads that he had secretly lent him by abusing his power as the patriarch?
"Father, father, I, I..."

Gu Changlin stammered and couldn't utter a complete sentence.

The other people in the room also noticed something was wrong. "Changlin, what's going on? Tell me now, don't hesitate!"

"Now everyone in the inner city knows about this, and you are still here fussing about it. Don't you think our Gu family has been embarrassed enough?"

"Say it!"

Gu Changlin's scalp tingled. He knew that if he didn't explain things clearly today, he would not be able to leave this room. There was a high probability that even if he explained things clearly, he would be under house arrest for the next few months.

"Is the Calming Pearl missing?"

Gu Tianyuan asked.

With a glimmer of hope in my heart.

After all, truth will come to light sooner or later. If he loses it, he won't be able to produce the real thing when other people come to borrow it from him.

But if it wasn't lost, there would be nothing wrong with him asking this question. If someone else became the head of the family, they would do the same.

"What, the Calming Bead?"

"Tian Yuan, did you lend him the Calming Pearl?"

"The Calming Pearl is lost?"

"impossible?"

When the people behind him heard this, their faces changed drastically.

Gu Changlin trembled all over and nodded.

"Is it really lost?"

Gu Tianyuan's eyes turned red in an instant, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Father, please listen to my explanation, I..." Gu Changlin was frightened out of his wits.

"Shut up, you rebellious son!"

Gu Tianyuan could no longer hold back the anger in his heart and slapped him on the head.

The palm wind alone was enough to shatter all the tables, chairs and benches around.

"Tianyuan, don't be impulsive!"

An old man stepped forward and grabbed his right hand, "We haven't figured out the situation yet. It won't be too late to take action once we figure it out."

“Yes, the Calming Pearl was obtained by our ancestors of the Gu family at a great cost. It is not okay to just throw it away like that. We must find out what happened.” An old man nearby looked at Gu Changlin, who collapsed on the ground with fear, and then looked at Gu Tianyuan, who had murderous intent in his eyes, and felt suspicious.

Perhaps, this was a play directed and performed by the father and son themselves? For the sake of a calming bead, it was worth it.

Gu Tianyuan took a few deep breaths and finally suppressed his anger. He stared at Gu Changlin and said, "Explain to me clearly what is going on! Why was the Calming Bead lost?!"

"Yes, yes, father."

Gu Changlin nodded with lingering fear. He had never been so close to death as he was just now.

The one who wanted to kill him was none other than his own father.

However, as a member of the Gu family, he had expected this and did not feel too sad.

After all, Gu Tianyuan had many sons besides him. Over the years, he had been intent on training Gu Changjun to compete with him. If he died here, he could just let Gu Changjun become the next head of the family.

However, there is only one Dingshenzhu in the entire Gu family, no, maybe even on this planet. If it is lost, it will be very difficult to find it back.

"Father, this all started yesterday. Last night, I received a call from Gao Ling, saying that Jiang Cheng... Oh, father, where is Jiang Cheng? Where is he?"

Gu Changlin suddenly realized something and asked in a hurried tone.
