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

Although the attack on Gu Changlin caused a big stir, it also reached the ears of many families in a short period of time.

However, news spreads fastest among people of the same class. If they are not in the same class, it will take a long time to get the news.

Gu Changkong rushed to Gu Tianyuan's residence, where someone was already waiting and took him to the meeting room inside.

Gu Changkong was walking on the road, feeling very nervous.

He had come to this place many times when he was a child, but after he grew up, he seldom came here. It’s not that he was not allowed to come, but it was meaningless.

Just like at a family meeting, if he wants to fight for some benefits for himself, will others agree?

"Master Changkong, the room in front is where the master of the family lives. I won't see you off." The man said with his head down.

"Okay, please."

Gu Changkong thanked him, walked quickly out of the room and knocked on the door.

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

A voice sounded inside the house.

As soon as Gu Changkong pushed the door open, he felt several gazes falling on him. The atmosphere was very solemn.

And Gu Changlin even fell to his knees.

He was suddenly shocked.

"The sky!"

Gu Changlin turned his head and shouted, like a drowning man who grabbed a life-saving straw, and urged: "Come in quickly and tell father the origin of Jiang Cheng's kid."

"Jiangcheng?"

Gu Changkong looked at Gu Changlin, then at his father and several elders in the clan, all of him looking confused.

The origin of Jiangcheng.

Didn't Gu Changlin already investigate everything clearly? In fact, the former's power was even more thorough than his investigation.

Why are you asking him back?
Could it be that this scene before my eyes is related to Jiang Cheng?

"Why are you still standing there? Tell me quickly! Isn't he the person you found?" Gu Changlin said hurriedly.

He called Gu Changkong over because, on the one hand, he wanted to see if there was any chance of a turn for the better. If he could know where Jiang Cheng went after leaving here, that would be great. But if he didn't know, he would put the blame on Gu Changkong. Of course, the others were not fools either, so they would put the blame on Gu Changkong as much as they could.

"it is good."

Gu Changkong didn't have time to think about it and recounted the entire process of how he met Jiang Cheng.

It’s a pity that what he said was no different from what Gu Changlin said, except for some additional details.

Gu Tianyuan and the others naturally frowned when they heard this.

This information is useless, right? It's impossible that the boy returned to the Dawn Club after leaving the inner city, right?

I can’t wait to get rid of the group of people in the Dawn Society.

"It's none of these."

Gu Changlin hurriedly said: "Besides these, there are some other news."

"Some other news?" Gu Changkong looked confused.

"Yes, for example, does he know some people from other forces? Those people are very powerful, including several Grandmasters."

"what?"

Gu Changkong opened his mouth wide. In the inner city, there are many families with this strength, and some even have supreme masters.

However, he didn't know which one of them was related to Jiang Cheng.

"Brother, I think Jiang Cheng doesn't know this kind of person, right? When he was a killer in the Dawn Club, he had a feud with the owner of the Kuangfeng Martial Arts School. In the end, he found an opportunity and killed the other party.

If he knew several masters, why didn't he ask them for help, instead of taking the risk and doing it himself? "

Gu Changkong thought for a moment and said.

"Nonsense, if he didn't know me, this time, this time..." Gu Changlin's face turned red and he couldn't say anything else.

Gu Tianyuan and his companions also remained silent.

Obviously, it is impossible to get any useful information from Gu Changkong.

"What exactly happened?" Gu Changkong couldn't help but ask.

"Humph," an old man snorted coldly, looking at Gu Changlin who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "He took that kid Jiang Cheng out, but he ran away, and all his belongings were stolen. What's even more hateful is that he even had a seventh-grade treasure on him!"

"What! Seven, a seventh-grade treasure!" Gu Changkong opened his mouth in shock.

"My Gu family spent so much effort to get the Calming Pearl, but he lost it in such a mess. Damn it!"

"Ding, Ding Shenzhu..."

Gu Changkong seemed to be frozen in place, stunned.

He had heard of this treasure in his family a long time ago. It can greatly reduce the accidents that may occur when breaking through the acupoints. It can be used not only by Force warriors, but also by Force Supremes, and the effect is the best.

Unfortunately, his status was not high and he was not qualified to borrow it, let alone even take a look at it.

In the end, it was lost by Gu Changlin?
And from what he said just now, it was Jiang Cheng who stole it?
"Changkong, think about it again." Gu Tianyuan looked at Gu Changkong and said softly, "Are there any details that you have overlooked? If the Dingshenzhu is finally found, I will give you a great achievement. If you have any requests, you can ask for them. I will try my best to meet them."

"Yes, yes, Changkong, think about it carefully."

"That's the Soul-Settling Pearl! It's a treasure worth hundreds of billions, and there are only a few of them on the entire planet."

"That's right, you unfilial descendant, an unfilial descendant!" An old man stared at Gu Changlin as if he wanted to tear his heart apart.

Gu Changkong tried his best to recall it, but still shook his head, "Father, I really don't have any clues at the moment. Let me think about it carefully after I go back. If I have any clues, I will tell you as soon as possible."

"Alright."

Gu Tianyuan had no choice but to accept it and patted him on the shoulder, "Then you go back first, remember to think about it carefully."

"I understand. Please rest assured, father. After I return, I will also ask other people in the black market in the outer city. Maybe they know some information."

"Oh? Is there anything else?"

"Yes, when Jiang Cheng was still in the outer city, he had contacts with many of my alchemists. In addition, there were also some alchemists' families who had contact with his family, so maybe he knows something."

Gu Changkong said hurriedly, feeling a little excited.

If there is any important information, he will definitely not hide it.

It is undeniable that he had a good relationship with Jiang Cheng, but that was in the past, and he did not owe Jiang Cheng anything. Now he still had to put the family first, not to mention that Jiang Cheng stole the family's most important calming bead, which was something that no member of the Gu family could tolerate.

If he could seize this opportunity, his status in the family would surely be greatly improved, and he might even have the possibility of competing for the position of head of the family!

"Okay, okay, go ahead."

Gu Tianyuan's eyes lit up as he watched Gu Changkong quickly leave. He suddenly felt that this son had inexplicably become much more pleasing to the eye.
