What's So Good About Being Presumptuous

"Gu Chen, what are you doing?"

Just then, Gu Youwei's sharp voice rang out from behind him.

Gu Zhengchun, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, took the opportunity to struggle free from Gu Chen's feet and, covered in dirt, scurried behind Gu Youwei.

"My good daughter, you arrived just in time. You have no idea, this Gu Chen is truly insatiable. He not only wants the inheritance but also my Gu Family's foundation. When I refused, he resorted to violence..."

Gu Zhengchun righteously accused Gu Chen of his brutality.

Gu Youwei listened and became furious. She looked at Gu Chen with a mixture of shock and anger, demanding, "Gu Chen, I knew you had ill intentions coming here. Not only do you want to seize everything by force, but you also injured someone!"

"Apologize now and I might let it slide! Otherwise, be careful, I'll break your legs!"

Gu Youwei, with her Body Tempering Realm Tenth Level cultivation fully displayed, wore a smile of determination.

It turns out my cultivation is progressing smoothly, almost as if it's a natural progression to re-cultivate my past life's cultivation method.

However, Gu Youwei was puzzled. Why hadn't she felt the Heavenly Dao Bone within her while cultivating?

The Heavenly Dao Bone, a symbol of innate talent, is found in only one in ten thousand individuals.

Cultivators with the Heavenly Dao Bone are naturally close to the Dao, making their cultivation journey incredibly smooth.

But Gu Youwei didn't dwell on it, assuming it was because she was still young and the Heavenly Dao Bone hadn't awakened yet.

After all, she had started cultivating years earlier in this life.

"Don't forget, I'm the one who taught you how to cultivate!" Gu Chen sneered.

As soon as he spoke, Gu Youwei seemed to have been struck a sore spot. She became enraged, trembling all over.

"Shut up!"

"I know you've definitely started cultivating too, but so what? I'm Body Tempering Realm Tenth Level now!"

"You're barely at the Sixth Level, what gives you the right to be so arrogant in front of me?"

Gu Youwei was almost driven to shame and anger.

Gu Zhengchun, standing behind her, felt his pupils contract. In just three days, this brother and sister duo—one at Body Tempering Realm Sixth Level, the other at Tenth Level—were too monstrous!

They would definitely become a major threat to Feng'er in the future and must not be allowed to live!

Deep in his eyes, there was a full measure of apprehension.

Gu Youwei was about to say more, but her words abruptly stopped as her eyes widened.

In her sight, Gu Chen's figure vanished from his spot in an instant.

In the next moment, Gu Youwei felt a large hand press against her chest.

A violent force surged towards her.

BOOM!

A loud noise suddenly erupted.

Gu Youwei's body shot backward like a cannonball, spewing blood, and slammed heavily against the wall behind her.

Dense, spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread across the wall.

Her ribs were broken, and her internal organs were damaged!

Gu Youwei hung on the wall like a dead dog, unconscious.

Partly due to her injuries, and partly because she was terrified by Gu Chen.

She had been defeated by Gu Chen in a single move. The memory of Gu Chen, like a god or demon in her previous life, couldn't help but surface in Gu Youwei's mind.

"I taught you, so what makes you so cocky?" Gu Chen said indifferently.

Then, he turned to Gu Zhengchun, "So, can I have my parents' belongings back now?"

Gu Zhengchun's expression stiffened, and his throat bobbed.

When did Body Tempering Realm Tenth Level become so worthless?

How did this look easier than killing a chicken?

"Gu Chen, I can give you the inheritance, but Youwei is your sister. She also has inheritance rights, so you can only take half!" Gu Zhengchun compromised.

"No! I want it all!"

Gu Chen clenched his right fist, his knuckles cracking. "I only know her name isn't on the family tree!"

"How dare someone who recognized a thief as her father and is ungrateful have the face to be my sister?"

Fearing Gu Chen would continue his assault, Gu Zhengchun tremblingly produced the key to the storeroom, his heart aching terribly.

Giving up this inheritance was a severe blow to him!

It would even affect his son Gu Feng's cultivation.

Gu Chen took the key, verified the contents of the storeroom, and then had everything moved out.

Gu Zhengchun watched from behind, heartbroken and furious with Gu Chen, but he didn't dare to make a move.

Only after Gu Chen left with the items did Liu Caiyun peek out to check. Seeing the almost empty treasure vault, she immediately sat on the ground and wailed.

"My treasures! They're all gone!"

"Gu Chen, that damned little brat, he really showed no mercy!"

Gu Zhengchun's face darkened. "This isn't over!"

Liu Caiyun tentatively asked, "Gu Youwei that girl is also injured. Should we get some spiritual medicine for her?"

"What spiritual medicine does that little girl need? Just brew her some medicinal dregs. She's already at the Body Tempering Realm Tenth Level, it won't kill her!"

"Once her injuries heal, immediately offer her to an elder of the Cangshan Sword Sect to exchange for resources for Feng'er. Delaying will lead to complications!"

Gu Zhengchun's face was grim. He flicked his sleeve and left. He couldn't wait for his slow plans anymore; Gu Chen's actions today had disrupted his scheme.

After Gu Chen left the Gu Family, he headed straight for the Golden Dragon Treasure Bank.

The Golden Dragon Treasure Bank was immensely wealthy, and one could buy all sorts of items and spiritual medicine there. Its vast financial power made countless forces envious.

However, almost no one dared to plot against the Golden Dragon Treasure Bank because the power behind it was too immense.

Not to mention the Golden Dragon Treasure Bank's own strength, but behind it, countless noble families and sects cooperated with the Golden Dragon Treasure Bank!

The branch in East Desolation Commandery was just one of them.

As soon as Gu Chen stepped into the Golden Dragon Treasure Bank, a maidservant respectfully approached him and asked, "What would you like to purchase, honored guest?"

"I want all the spiritual medicine written on this list!" Gu Chen decisively handed over a prescription filled with spiritual medicine.

The maidservant took a closer look and knew this was a big customer. She immediately smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, honored guest. I'll go get the medicine for you. Other spiritual medicines are easy to handle, but for the Crimson Blood Vermilion Fruit, we at the Golden Dragon Treasure Bank only have five."

"Just give me whatever you have!"

"Certainly, honored guest. Please wait!"

A moment later, the maidservant returned with the spiritual medicine Gu Chen needed, accompanied by a round, chubby man with a simple smile on his face.

The fatty said with a joyful smile, "I am President Qiu of the Golden Dragon Treasure Bank in East Desolation Commandery. Your purchase has nearly cleared out our entire monthly spiritual medicine inventory!"

"Since you are so generous, we at the Golden Dragon Treasure Bank will reciprocate. How about a 30% discount for you?"

President Qiu, being the branch president of the Golden Dragon Treasure Bank in East Desolation Commandery, was naturally adept at handling people. Even Gu Chen couldn't fault his words.

"As President Qiu says!"

Even with the 30% discount, it almost emptied the inheritance Gu Chen had taken from the Gu Family.

Gu Chen couldn't help but shake his head and smile wryly. The path of cultivation was truly a bottomless pit.

The Primordial Celestial Scripture he cultivated was an even bigger money-devouring beast.

Each realm required both body and qi cultivation to be perfected before breaking through. Qi cultivation required abundant spiritual energy, and body cultivation was even more difficult.

The spiritual medicine Gu Chen purchased this time was precisely for body cultivation.

Finally, President Qiu personally escorted Gu Chen to the entrance of the Golden Dragon Treasure Bank.

Just as President Qiu was about to return after seeing Gu Chen off, Wei Qingyu suddenly appeared, limping, still bearing the injuries from being severely taught a lesson by Gu Chen not long ago.

"President Qiu!"

She called out.

"Miss Wei?" President Qiu turned around in surprise. "How did you get injured like this?"

Wei Qingyu's face darkened. Did she have to admit that Gu Chen had beaten her?

She couldn't afford to lose face.

Wei Qingyu immediately changed the subject. "President Qiu, I need Crimson Blood Vermilion Fruit. I want as much as you have!"
