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

Even though Jiang Cheng had fallen asleep while he was still awake.

But his intuition told him that everything that happened to him was related to Jiang Cheng.

Otherwise, there would be no such coincidence in the world.

It shouldn't have happened sooner or later, but it happened just when he promised Jiang Cheng to take him to visit the inner city area?
"Jiangcheng?"

Gu Tianyuan frowned, "Are you asking about the people who went out with you?"

"That's right." Gu Changlin nodded. "He is an alchemist under my command. The person mentioned at the last family meeting was him. As for the others, they are his family members. This time, he felt bored refining pills in the alchemy room and wanted to go out and relax, so I brought him along."

Gu Tianyuan didn't say anything and just looked at him quietly.

The other old men also had different looks in their eyes.

Gu Changlin understood instantly.

Everything is clear.

Those three people were coming for Jiangcheng.

The purpose is very simple, which is to take him away.

In order to cooperate with them, Jiang Cheng found an excuse and eventually escaped with his whole family right under his nose.

Up to this point, he was not too angry, but before the other party left, he actually stole all the treasures on him, including a seventh-grade treasure!
This is going to cost him his life!
"Father!"

Gu Changlin sat up straight instantly and said through gritted teeth, "It was Jiang Cheng, he stole the Calming Pearl! He stole all the treasures I had!"

"You carry the Calming Pearl with you?" an old man questioned.

"I didn't think much about it at the time. I thought that since I was only away for a few hours and it was in the inner city, nothing would happen. But who knew..." Gu Changlin regretted it deeply.

If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have carried the Calming Pearl with him. No! He shouldn't have agreed to it!

Jiang Cheng should be put under house arrest! He should be forced to make pills in the alchemy room for the rest of his life!
"How ridiculous! A mere alchemist can be accompanied by you personally?"

"No, he is not a simple alchemist." Gu Changlin explained quickly, "He can use seven or eight medicinal materials to refine a whole furnace of top-grade awakening pills, and he can refine five furnaces a day. Wasn't he mentioned at the last family meeting? I also promised that I could hand over half of the profits to the family."

"Oh, now that you mention it, I have some impression of it." An old man nodded, "But, he wanted to go out, and you let him go? Even so, how could you not be on guard at all!"

"He, he was too obedient before."

Gu Changlin lowered his head.

"To be honest, I was a little wary of him at first, because some of the things he did in the outer city before showed that this person was not an easy person to deal with.
But later, when I reduced his share from 50% to 40%, he readily agreed. After a month or two, I reduced the share from 40% to 30%, and he still had no objection. He also did everything I asked him to do, including spending more time every day and increasing the number of pills he refined by one furnace every day.

I let my guard down, but who knows, these were all fake illusions he created, and I'm afraid that when I did this, he had already started to think of a way to leave."

"What an idiot! He can't even see the basic principle of keeping a low profile!" an old man cursed, "He was made a fool of, and before he left, all his belongings were taken away, even the Calming Bead!"

At this point, he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Do you dare to swear to our ancestors that every word you said above is true, and you are not lying to us?" An old man spoke, obviously still not believing that a dignified seventh-grade treasure was stolen just like that.

"Ancestors, if there is one falsehood in what I, Gu Changlin, said just now, may I be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!" Gu Changlin said gritting his teeth.

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the room froze. Now, even the elders couldn't help but believe it.

Suddenly, everyone's faces fell, as if they had lost their parents.

What's more, some even wanted to beat Gu Changlin to death on behalf of Gu Tianyuan who was standing beside him.

"Who are the people who picked up that kid? Where did they go?" Gu Tianyuan calmed down at this time.

He didn't think Gu Changlin was lying because the latter didn't have the courage to deceive him.

"I, I don't know either." Gu Changlin hesitated for a long time and finally blurted out these words.

"What, you don't know anything?"

"You, you, how can you be so useless? You don't even know where that kid left here and went?"

"What about the three people who picked them up? Do you know who they are? You should remember what they look like, right? Tell me now!"

"What's the point of remembering what you look like? Isn't it easy to disguise yourself these days?"

Several old men were talking to each other.

"You really don't know anything at all?" Gu Tianyuan also asked.

"I, I really don't know."

Gu Changlin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Suddenly, he thought of something and said quickly, "Before coming to me, he was staying in the outer city area, under Changkong's command. Maybe Changkong knows his origins."

"Then what are you still standing there for? Call him and ask him to come over!" an old man shouted. At this point, they could only try their best. Besides, what if they found some clues?

Gu Changlin looked at Gu Tianyuan, who was furious. "Then call him over. You'd better pray that he has some clues. Otherwise, if the Ding Shen Pearl is lost and can't be found, you will be a sinner of the family. Even if you die a hundred times or a thousand times, you can't make up for this loss!"

"Yes, yes, father."

Gu Changlin quickly opened the communication.

At this point, he also understood that if the Calming Pearl could be found, at most he would be punished and his life would definitely be safe. As for the position of family head, it might be in danger.

This time, not only did he make such a big mistake, but he also made his family look so embarrassed. The elders of the family, including his father, will definitely re-evaluate whether he has the ability to serve as the next head of the Gu family.

And if I can't find it back...

Not to mention the position of the head of the family, being banished to the "cold palace" and ignored by everyone is the lightest punishment. If things go wrong, his life will be in danger, and after his death, he will be nailed to the family's pillar of shame, leaving a bad reputation for hundreds and thousands of years! The younger generations of the Gu family will always remember that it was him who lost the family treasure.

Jiangcheng!

He clenched his fists.

He was so good to Jiang Cheng, bringing him here from the outer city area and letting him live a life like a god.

But it would have been fine if the other party was not grateful, but he also hurt him so badly!
Gu Changlin will definitely fight this ungrateful bastard to the death!!!
