Villainous Cao Cao: Inheriting Everything from the Chosen One

36: Jie jie jie jie jie jieUpon hearing this, Gu Yun was taken aback and subconsciously cast a deep glance at Cao Bu.

Although these words sounded somewhat rude, upon careful reflection, it was far more cost-effective than actually having to return a real supreme dao emperor weapon in the future!

Moreover, since these words came from Cao Bu’s mouth, if it really came down to losing Face, it would be Cao Bu losing Face; he, the Clan Chief, would not lose a shred of it.

No wonder his father valued him so much; this ability to take the bullet for others and resolve trouble was truly something others could not compare to.

Gu Yun immediately reacted and hurriedly rebuked Cao Bu: ”Big Brother, you are wrong to say that!”

”What do you mean by returning it exactly as it is?”

”If we are to return a gift, we should find an even better one to give in return!”

Cao Bu hurriedly bowed in apology, his attitude extremely respectful: ”Yes, yes, yes, the Clan Chief is absolutely right. It was my lack of consideration; I misspoke.”

The two of them sang in harmony, allowing the Gu Clan to keep a supreme dao emperor weapon.

Gu Yun looked at Cao Bu again.

Hmm, he didn’t seem particularly annoying either.

Damn it, he just flattered me a few times, why am I feeling happy?

No, I still have to drive Cao Bu away.

Xu Fenglai stared intently at Cao Bu, having already greeted Cao Bu’s ancestors down to the eighteenth generation in his heart.

That was a supreme dao emperor weapon!

Even his Exploding Heavens Faction didn’t have one. He had originally planned to swindle one from the Gu Clan, but who would have thought that this damn brat Cao Bu would mess it all up!

He wasn’t afraid of Gu Yun exposing him on the spot; at worst, he would just say the servants had prepared the wrong item. He was thick-skinned anyway.

But this move by Cao Bu directly caused him to lose a supreme dao emperor weapon.

Fine, fine, fine, kid, I’ll remember you!

Just wait for my Exploding Heavens Faction’s million book friends to bombard you!

Cao Bu revealed a kind smile: ”Faction Leader Xu, please.”

Xu Fenglai cast a cold glance at Cao Bu and stepped into the Gu Clan.

Not far away, Axe Gang leader Brother Kun looked at the box in his hand and hurriedly said to the people behind him: ”Bring me the prepared immortal sacred artifact, the Golden Axe.”

A lackey beside him asked suspiciously: ”Faction Leader, we aren’t very familiar with this Gu Clan; wouldn’t giving an immortal sacred artifact be too valuable?”

Brother Kun was so angry he knocked the lackey on the head: ”You damn bastard, you want me, an Immortal Emperor-level force, to give a seventh-grade Spiritual Artifact as a gift? If people found out, wouldn’t it be a laughingstock!”

The lackey asked stubbornly: ”But this seventh-grade Spiritual Artifact was prepared by you yourself. The old Faction Leader told you to bring the immortal sacred artifact, the Golden Axe, but you said the Gu Clan didn’t deserve it.”

Brother Kun glared and said to the lackeys behind him: ”Beat him. Pin him to the ground and beat him to death.”

It wasn’t just the Axe Gang; many forces that wanted to freeload hurriedly swapped out the trash in their hands.

They had originally wanted to be greedy for a bit, but it seemed there was no hope now.

For a moment, the gazes of the representatives from various forces looking at Cao Bu were more or less dissatisfied.

”Clan Leader Gu, this is the immortal sacred artifact, the Golden Axe, sent by my Axe Gang. Please accept it.” Brother Kun opened the box with a chuckle and handed it over.

Gu Yun’s expression brightened. For forces with an ordinary relationship, an immortal sacred artifact was just the right gift.

So he smiled and raised his hand: ”Faction Leader, please.”

Brother Kun nodded, and when passing by Cao Bu, he cast a hypocritical smile.

Damn it, he had valued this Golden Axe, and now it had just been given to the Gu Clan. It was all the fault of this kid named Cao Bu!

He immediately took out a small notebook and recorded Cao Bu’s name in it.

Cao Bu caught a glimpse of this action from the side, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently.

An immortal sacred artifact—was it really necessary?

This was the first time he had seen such a stingy Immortal Emperor-level sect.

Next, after the small accident just now, everything proceeded in an orderly manner.

Although no Great Emperor arrived, all the major forces sent someone of significant status within their own ranks.

Time flew by, and the famous forces of the entire Spirit Realm had basically all arrived, and the welcoming proceedings were nearing their end.

Just at this moment, Gu Yun swept his gaze and suddenly saw a pair of eyes staring at him from a dense forest not far away.

He looked carefully and his expression changed.

This person actually looked exactly like him!

In an instant, he understood; it was this person who had defiled Gu Chuyan and then framed him!

Today, he must personally catch this bastard!

If it weren’t for the other party, he wouldn’t have been pointed at by his clansmen every time he stepped out this past month, ultimately forcing him to only Cultivate in the Xiang Xiao Courtyard, only going out when necessary.

Gu Yun checked the time until the Succession Ceremony; there was still a while, it should be enough.

He immediately said to Cao Bu: ”Big Brother, you stay here and welcome the forces that haven’t arrived yet; I’m going back to the Xiang Xiao Courtyard to make some preparations for the Succession Ceremony.”

Before his voice had even faded, he had already rushed out.

Cao Bu looked at Gu Yun’s retreating figure, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly. The good show was about to begin.

This person impersonating Gu Yun was naturally Ye Linglong.

With her there, this plan would go much more smoothly.

With her Realm King First Layer cultivation and the Nine-Turn Linglong Body, he was confident that Gu Yun would not be able to catch her.

Immediately, Cao Bu gave some instructions to the Grand Elder beside him: ”Grand Elder, I’m going back to the Cangfeng Residence to change my clothes; you all keep watch here.”

After saying this, he immediately turned and left.

Not long after.

At a location less than ten miles from the Moyue Residence, Su Li’s voice transmission came: ”Hurry up, I can’t stall Leng Yue for long.”

The corners of Cao Bu’s mouth curled up slightly. When he passed behind a blue stone and came out again, he had already transformed into the appearance of Gu Yun.

He arrived outside the Moyue Residence and knocked on the courtyard gate.

The person who opened the door was an unfamiliar Maidservant. Seeing Cao Bu, she immediately saluted: ”Greetings, Clan Chief.”

Cao Bu smiled slightly: ”Is younger sister Shuang inside?”

”Reporting to the Clan Chief, the Young Miss is just preparing to go out,” the Maidservant replied.

Cao Bu nodded: ”Lead the way; I have some things I need to understand from her.”

”Yes, Clan Chief.” The Maidservant turned around and led the way.

Just as they were about to approach Gu Lingshuang’s bedchamber, the Maidservant blocked Cao Bu’s path: ”Clan Chief, please wait a moment; I will go and invite the Young Miss out.”

After speaking, just as the Maidservant turned around, she felt a pain in the back of her neck, and her Primordial Spirit suffered an instant shock, causing her to faint.

Cao Bu kicked the Maidservant into a corner and immediately walked into Gu Lingshuang’s bedchamber.

Seeing Cao Bu arrive, the Maidservants inside the bedchamber hurriedly saluted: ”Greetings, Clan Chief.”

Cao Bu nodded and commanded: ”You all leave; This Clan Chief has important matters to discuss with younger sister Shuang.”

Upon hearing this, the Maidservants looked at each other, their Faces showing hesitation.

Cao Bu shouted sternly: ”Get out!”

The Maidservants trembled all over; having to respect the current status of ”Gu Yun,” they turned and left the bedchamber.

Seeing that the Maidservants were all standing outside the hall, Cao Bu shouted angrily again: ”Go outside the courtyard! Without This Clan Chief’s order, no one is allowed to enter.”

The Maidservants hesitated for a moment, then retreated from the Moyue Residence.

At this moment, Gu Lingshuang walked out from the inner chamber; she was alone.

”Big Brother, what is the meaning of this?”

Gu Lingshuang immediately showed dissatisfaction; this was her bedchamber, and no man had ever entered it before.

”Gu Yun’s” action had already offended her.

Cao Bu saw that the Maidservants had all retreated outside the courtyard, so he immediately turned around and quietly closed the door.

At the same time, he took out a sound-isolation Talisman and activated it. Before Gu Lingshuang could react, he struck a Seal Talisman into her body.

In an instant, Gu Lingshuang’s Face lost all color, turning deathly pale.

She had completely failed to anticipate that Cao Bu would suddenly attack, to the point where she had no defense.

Almost in the next instant, she thought of the incident with Gu Chuyan.

Gu Chuyan had told her that ”Gu Yun” had treated her exactly like this at the time!

”Big... Big Brother, what do you want to do?”

She forced herself to stay calm, trying not to let herself feel so afraid.

But having already guessed what was about to happen, how could she still be calm?

Cao Bu leaned against the door crack, licked his lips, and let out an evil laugh: ”Hehehe, hehehe, hehehe...”

Outside the Moyue Residence, the Maidservants looked at each other, their Faces filled with helplessness.

”Clan Chief Gu Yun is ignoring the Succession matters and instead has time to run over here, even chasing us all out of the courtyard; it’s really strange,” one Maidservant muttered suspiciously.

These words caught the attention of a sharper Maidservant.

She thought of the rumors currently circulating in the Gu Clan and was instantly so scared that her Face lost all color.

Immediately.

She said to this Maidservant: ”You go notify the nearby patrol guards, and I will go tell the Second Mistress.”

The Maidservant blinked, and she also reacted immediately.

The two of them quickly left the crowd and sped off in their respective directions.

The other Maidservants looked at each other, but they also quickly reacted.

Immediately, all the Maidservants began to take action.

The number of people participating in this Succession Ceremony was extremely large.

The dozens of peaks of the Gu Clan, and even the surrounding cities, were packed with people.

The required number of patrol guards was already huge, and with the shortage of manpower, the guards from each courtyard had already been pulled away.

Watching the other Maidservants leave, the remaining Maidservants stood on the spot, anxious and distressed.

They wanted to go in and stop him, but ”Gu Yun” was now the Clan Chief; as mere Maidservants, how could they dare to act rashly?

Moreover, ”Gu Yun” possessed Realm King cultivation; how could they possibly stop him?

The only plan now was to wait for the Second Mistress to return and take charge of the situation.
