Chapter 24: Don’t Underestimate Me

1276 Words
With Yu Ze as his bodyguard, plus his own connections and other resources, Gu Changyi knew about cultivation. If Yu Ze's failure was due to the opponent being a master, he would believe it! But if Gu Changyi still believed what Yu Ze said afterward, it would be impossible. In fact, probably no one in their right mind would believe it was true. "Yu Ze, are you playing me? Are you even human?!" Filled with resentment, before Yu Ze could finish explaining, Gu Changyi suddenly flew into a rage, pointing a finger at Yu Ze and cursing, "That person is a master, I believe that. You failed because of him, so why make up such a ridiculous lie that even a fool wouldn't believe?! Damn it, do you really think I'm stupid?!" He believed Yu Ze had failed; an occasional mistake wasn't a big deal, but he couldn't tolerate being deceived like this. Or perhaps, if he was going to lie, at least be sincere? Couldn't he come up with a decent reason to lie to him?! Did he think he was that stupid? That his brain was full of tofu dregs? With Gu Changyi's outburst of rage, Yu Ze, who had been quickly explaining, suddenly froze, staring blankly at Gu Changyi. When he tried to explain again that he hadn't lied, he opened his mouth but found himself speechless. Even he, if he hadn't witnessed it firsthand, would probably have thought someone was playing a trick on him after hearing these explanations. This was a blatant insult to the listener's intelligence! "What? Speechless?! You…you're disgusting!" Seeing Yu Ze's speechless state, Gu Changyi flew into a rage again, shouting angrily before striding downstairs and plopping down on the sofa, glaring fiercely at Yu Ze. It seemed she had been too kind to this guy before, making him think she was someone he could easily fool? Even in his rage, he managed to suppress his fury and quickly considered how to obtain the precious jade from that guy after Yu Ze's failure. After all, Yu Ze was already his best fighter; if sending him wasn't enough, then the others were even less capable. But if he didn't send someone to secretly seize it, what else could he do? Use official power? Although he could influence some low-level officials, unless they were completely out of their minds, they wouldn't let him act so recklessly, targeting someone just to force them to hand over their treasure? That was impossible! Nothing worked, nothing worked, and Gu Changyi gradually became agitated. Was he really going to watch such a precious jade slip through his fingers? "No! I absolutely cannot miss this jade. If I can obtain it and then present it to the Lin family, they will surely be overjoyed..." In another moment of contemplation, Gu Changyi suddenly made up his mind. Since Yu Ze was no match for the other party and he couldn't use other forces to obtain it, he would have to rely on the Lin family's power. Indeed, his purpose in seizing the jade from Xu Yu was to present it to the Lin family. In fact, the Lin family's upper echelons had been collecting various kinds of jade for a long time. Gu Changyi knew the reason for their jade collection; it seemed to be related to cultivation. While he had only a superficial understanding of this, and knew nothing about spiritual energy, he did know that the higher the grade and the more translucent the jade, the better the spiritual energy it contained. The greater the benefit he could gain by obtaining it and presenting it to the Lin family, the more valuable it would be. The Gu family's current wealth and status were due to his father's years of doing this for the Lin family, which allowed them to gradually become rich and powerful. He had followed in his father's footsteps, developing a keen eye for jade through years of collecting various stones. The jade he had seen last time was undoubtedly the finest he had ever seen. If he were to present it to the Lin family, the reward he would receive would be enormous. Driven by enormous profits, how could he possibly refrain from taking action just because the other party is a master? "Masters? The Lin family has no shortage of masters." Previously, he had planned to rely solely on his own strength to obtain the jade and then claim the reward from the Lin family. However, now that he is unable to obtain it on his own, he can only rely on the Lin family's power. Even if the reward and benefits he receives afterward are significantly less, it is still better than nothing. He chuckled again, a somber tone, before abruptly pulling out his phone. Once the call connected, Gu Changyi immediately put on a fawning smile and carefully said, "Fourth Young Master, this is Changyi. Are you busy? It's like this, I recently discovered something truly remarkable. If you could obtain it and present it to Uncle Lin, he would surely be greatly pleased..." "It's absolutely the most perfect jade I've ever seen in my life. However, the guy with that jade has no intention of selling it. I'm certain he's unwilling to sell, so I sent Yu Ze. But I didn't expect that person to be such a master..." He quickly recounted the situation into the receiver. After hanging up, Gu Changyi suddenly felt relieved. The person he had just contacted was Lin Dongjie, the most outstanding martial artist among the younger generation of the Gu family. Lin Dongjie 's strength had already reached the early stage of Body Cultivation, an absolute peak, far beyond what Yu Ze could compare to. He believed that as long as Lin Dongjie made a move, there would be no chance of anything going wrong. Thinking of the benefits he would soon reap, Gu Changyi felt a surge of joy again. However, when he glanced at Yu Ze, who stood to the side with a strange expression, his face changed, and he snapped, "Get down! You can't even handle such a small matter, requiring Fourth Young Master's intervention. I'll settle accounts with you after this is over!" These words clearly made Yu Ze's expression change slightly. However, as an ordinary martial artist, facing Gu Changyi and the Lin family behind him, he could only fawn over them. So, even though he harbored resentment, Yu Ze still retreated sheepishly. But as he left, his eyes were filled with horror. The Fourth Young Master of the Lin family? He knew that even four or five of him wouldn't be a match for the Fourth Young Master. If the other party really intervened, there shouldn't be any problem. After all , while that monster's learning ability and resilience were terrifying, other aspects, such as strength and speed, weren't strong, and were even somewhat weak. If it were the fourth young master of the Lin family, a master whose speed, strength, and even martial arts skills far surpassed his own, there really wouldn't be any more surprises. The fact that he couldn't break through the opponent's defense might be due to the opponent practicing some kind of hard qigong, but that didn't mean Lin Dongjie couldn't. As for that guy's learning ability, he was probably a true super genius… However, as long as Lin Dongjie made a move and quickly defeated the opponent, preventing him from learning, that would be enough. Thinking about how that guy who had made him so utterly miserable was about to suffer a major setback, Yu Ze gradually became excited.
