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

Hearing what Gu Changjun blurted out, the middle-aged man's mouth twitched.

This kid, can't he think before he speaks or does anything?
Just like before in the alchemy room.

Gu Changjun seemed not to notice the middle-aged man's expression, and said to himself: "Uncle Huang, with your master's strength, killing an alchemist is easy, right? Even if Gu Changkong wanted to stop you, he couldn't."

"Fifth Young Master, you are right, but have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this?"

"as a result of?"

Gu Changjun curled his lips, "What consequences can there be? Even if you are not here, can Gu Changkong still kill me?"

You have to know that he may have a fourth-grade treasure on him, so even if he is a master, he can’t be hurt for a while.

"As for the future, even if my father knew about this, at most he would just scold me. It's no big deal."

The middle-aged man was speechless after hearing this.

Yes, the worst that can happen to you is that you get scolded.

But what about him?
Killing someone right under the Third Young Master's nose, and killing someone the other party valued very much, this was simply a slap in the face! Afterwards, could the Third Young Master let him go easily?

Even if the death penalty can be avoided, one will still have to suffer a lot.

Of course, such words must not be said, otherwise it will inevitably make the person in front of him unhappy, and he will be in even worse trouble.

Fortunately, after years of getting along, he had a deep understanding of this person's temperament, so he said, "Fifth Young Master, this is not the consequence I'm talking about."

"That's not it?"

Gu Changjun frowned, "Which one is that?"

Then, a look of suspicion appeared in his eyes, "Uncle Huang, you are not afraid to offend Gu Changkong and are deliberately shirking your responsibility, right?"

"Fifth Young Master, you misunderstood. As long as you give the order, I won't even frown if I kill Third Young Master, let alone that alchemist."

"Then why don't you do as I say?"

"Of course it's for your reputation, Fifth Young Master."

The middle-aged man said calmly, "Fifth Young Master, many people know that you are here to recruit talents. Whether you can recruit talents is a fifty-fifty thing. If you succeed, everyone will be happy. If you fail, it is also reasonable.
But Fifth Master, if you kill him just because he refused your recruitment, how will the family members view you if this gets out? How will the other young masters view you? And how will the people below view you?"

“What will they think of me?”

Gu Changjun asked hurriedly.

"They will think that you are petty and intolerant, and that you will never achieve great things. Moreover, once this matter gets out, I'm afraid no one will be willing to work for you, the Fifth Young Master, in the future."

"hiss……"

Gu Changjun took a breath of cold air.

It seems that this is really the case!

"Uncle Huang, thanks to you for advising me in time, otherwise, I would have almost made a big mistake!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Fifth Young Master. This is my job." The middle-aged man smiled.

In fact, the person in front of me has no shortcomings except that he is a little impulsive.

Moreover, he has been spoiled since childhood, it would be strange if he didn't have some spoiled childish habits.

"Uncle Huang, then according to what you said, what should I do next? Do I have to go back and apologize to him?"

A look of pain appeared on Gu Changjun's face.

It is too difficult for him, the fifth young master of the Gu family, to apologize to a servant. However, the book says that if he does so, it will show that he is sincere in seeking talents and corrects his mistakes, which will become a good story if it gets out.

The middle-aged man saw his dilemma and laughed. "Fifth Young Master, if you go back now, even if you condescend to be noble, I'm afraid you won't be able to make that person change his mind..."

"Yeah yeah."

Gu Changjun looked at the middle-aged man with emotion.

"Besides, it's hard to say whether that person is an alchemy genius or not."

"Uncle Huang said that we should just ignore him?"

"of course not."

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Fifth Young Master, when you go back, tell the head of the family about this matter and tell them that you have discovered a very promising alchemist here and secretly funded him. Let the head of the family have an impression of him first.

If that person has grown up, you can bring him over and let him work for us. As long as the head of the family agrees, it will be useless even if the person disagrees. If that person has average potential and some time has passed, we will send someone to capture him and you, the fifth young master, will deal with him.
No one will link this matter to you, the Fifth Young Master, by then. Even if it is the Third Young Master, he can't do anything without evidence. What do you think, the Fifth Young Master?"

"High! High! Really high!"

Gu Changjun clapped his hands excitedly.

"Just do as you say, Uncle Huang. When I get back, I'll go see my father and tell him about this. If that kid is really a genius, I'll take him over then."

The middle-aged man also showed a proud look on his face.

……

At the same moment, inside the alchemy room.

Gu Changkong did not leave, but took this opportunity to introduce Gu Changjun in detail.

It also gave Jiang Cheng a rough idea that the so-called black market was actually a larger auction house, and the person behind it was the Gu family to which Gu Changkong belonged.

Gu Changkong's father is the current head of the Gu family.

A hundred years ago, when Yan State was at its peak, it was common for strong men to have three wives and four concubines. There were even powerful women who kept many men.

Let alone now.

Therefore, Gu Changkong also has several brothers and sisters, but they are girls. They are basically used to marry into other families and basically do not participate in power disputes within the family.

"Among my brothers, the one just now is the most brainless."

Gu Changkong sneered: "If the Gu family is really handed over to him, I'm afraid it will not be long before it falls apart."

Jiang Cheng nodded when he heard this, "It does look like he is not very smart."

He was not deaf, so he naturally heard what the other party said before he left, and he had even less good feelings towards him.

"Hahaha, indeed."

Gu Changkong was amused, and he patted Jiang Cheng on the shoulder, saying, "You know, on the way here I was still worried that you might betray me and be tempted by the benefits to join his team.
Frankly speaking, my conditions here are indeed not as good as his, but you didn't do that. Others treat me sincerely, and I, Gu Changkong, will also treat others sincerely. "

"?"

Jiang Cheng's eyes lit up slightly.

"What does the supervisor mean?"

"Don't think about money."

Gu Changkong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I paid for all these medicinal materials out of my own pocket. If I'm not mistaken, these 100 million medicinal materials won't allow you to perfect your alchemy skills, right?"

"Well, yes." Jiang Cheng nodded, "It will cost about another 100 million."

He didn't say anything final. (End of this chapter)
