Villainous Cao Cao: Inheriting Everything from the Chosen One

39: Let them help you in your spiritual practice.At this moment, a red-haired man leaned in behind the two and spoke with a mocking smile, ”Say, you two, are you sure you’re any different from this Gu Yun?”

Xu Fenglai and Brother Kun turned around and immediately put on smiling Faces, ”So it’s Young Master Ling of the Flame Emperor!”

Xu Fenglai hurriedly explained, ”How are we not different?”

”The business between me and my Younger Brother’s Wife will never be known by outsiders.”

”Look at this Gu Yun, how brainless he is. Doesn’t he know how to be discreet? Now that the matter is exposed, he’s finished, right?”

Brother Kun crossed his arms and said, ”Fenglai’s words make sense.”

”You can act like a beast, but you cannot let others know you are a beast.”

”Just like how I sleep with my Second Aunt—my father still doesn’t know to this day. In his eyes, I am still a good son.”

”This Gu Yun is completely finished.”

”We are both second-generation powerhouses, so why is the gap between us so large?”

”I originally wanted to recruit him, but now it seems he’s too stupid. He’s not suitable; there’s a generation gap.”

The corners of Xiao Ling’s mouth twitched.

These two were truly bizarre.

He nonchalantly put the sound-recording stone hidden behind him into his storage ring, planning to blackmail the two of them when he found the opportunity.

Hearing the discussion around him, Gu Yun suddenly roared, ”Shut up! What the hell do you know! Don’t spout nonsense without understanding the truth!”

After roaring, he turned to Leng Yue, his voice filled with pleading, ”Second Aunt, it really wasn’t me, it was someone else!”

Li Xinxue was convinced that the person before her was a fake Gu Yun and anxiously said to Leng Yue, ”Second Aunt, he is a fake! Listen to me and have him sliced to death!”

Leng Yue glanced at her coldly, ”Do you think I can’t tell whether he is real or fake?”

Li Xinxue’s body swayed, tears instantly welling up, yet she continued to argue, ”Second Aunt, Gu Yun must still be at the mountain gate greeting guests! He must not have discovered what happened here.”

Before she finished speaking, tears were already rolling down her cheeks.

During the fight just now, she had already scanned the entire Gu Clan with her Divine Sense; other than the one on the ground, there was not a trace of Gu Yun’s presence anywhere else.

But she didn’t believe it—she would rather die than believe that the husband she loved so deeply could be such a beast.

Seeing this, Leng Yue raised her hand and made a sucking motion, pulling a drop of crimson Essence Blood from Gu Yun’s body.

She flicked it directly in front of Li Xinxue, ”Now, are you still clinging to your fantasies?”

Li Xinxue stumbled back a few steps, her eyes reddening, ”Impossible, Gu Yun would never do such a thing.”

Leng Yue snorted, ”You caught him in the act yourself, yet now you refuse to admit this is the real Gu Yun.”

”Li Xinxue, are you perhaps trying to help Gu Yun escape punishment?”

Li Xinxue shook her head frantically, retreating in a breakdown, looking at Gu Yun with disappointment. Her lips trembled, and she couldn’t say a word.

Gu Yun only felt a tightness in his chest, so painful that he couldn’t catch his breath.

He knew that he had completely disappointed this woman.

Although he didn’t do this, he lacked the ability to overturn the false accusation.

As a man, he had failed miserably.

”Gu Yun, with both human witnesses and physical evidence present, sparing your life is already the greatest tolerance I can show.”

After speaking, Leng Yue raised the Emperor Weapon in her hand high, the cold light pointing directly between Gu Yun’s legs.

At the critical moment, Gu Yun shouted hoarsely, ”Second Aunt! For my mother’s sake, at least... at least give me a chance to explain!”

Leng Yue’s sword stopped abruptly in mid-air, and she took a deep look at Gu Yun.

In truth, she didn’t believe Gu Yun had done this either.

After all, she had watched Gu Yun grow up and knew what kind of temperament he had.

Of course.

It was also possible that Gu Yun was hiding it too deeply.

Previously, with Gu Qingtian suppressing him, he didn’t dare to be reckless. Now that Gu Qingtian had gone through Ascension, he was slowly exposing his perverted habits.

She slowly retracted her longsword, dispersed her aura, and said in a voice that remained cold, ”Speak!”

Seeing the sword put away, Gu Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, a layer of cold sweat already seeping from his forehead.

He stumbled to his feet and looked around.

Countless pairs of disgusted and disdainful eyes pricked at him, making his whole body tense up.

In the crowd, the look in Gu Chuyan’s eyes, as if she wanted to drink his blood and eat his flesh, made his heart sink even further.

He took a deep breath and began to sort through everything that had just happened.

During the fight with Li Xinxue just now, the moment he realized there was no way out, he had been thinking of ways to escape.

Now, he needed time.

As long as he could escape, once his mother came out of seclusion and returned, no one would dare to touch him.

The onlookers held their breath, and the entire Gu Clan fell silent. Only Gu Yun’s clear yet slightly sluggish voice echoed through the mountains, ”Just a moment ago...”

On the other side. Inside the cultivation room of Cangfeng Residence.

Cao Bu’s eyes were tightly closed as he sat cross-legged on a cushion. Two powerful currents of air, one black and one white, were swirling crazily around him—this was the power he had seized from Gu Lingshuang’s body.

His Face was flushed, and the veins on his forehead were bulging, clearly due to forcibly refining this power.

Wanting to refine this power in a short period of time was by no means an easy task.

He fully circulated the Primal Yin-Yang Art, greedily devouring that power, and the spiritual energy in his body surged at an unprecedented speed.

Boom! The Bottleneck shattered, and his Realm began to climb.

Dharma Body Realm Sixth Level! Dharma Body Realm Seventh Level! Dharma Body Realm Eighth Level!

In the end, his aura settled at the Peak of the Dharma Body Realm Eighth Level, only one step away from the Ninth Level.

Cao Bu wanted to make one final push, but he felt a lack of stamina and could only stop at this step.

He opened his eyes abruptly, feeling the surging power within his body, and a smug smile curled at the corners of his mouth.

This Physique paired with the exclusive Cultivation Technique was truly a match made in heaven!

As long as there were still women in this world, he, Cao Bu, would one day be able to reach the Peak!

By then, stepping on Gu Qingtian with his feet, while holding Luo Qingcheng and Leng Yue in his arms—wouldn’t that be wonderful!

Cao Bu looked inside himself and discovered that his Dharma Body had grown from the original twelve zhang to fourteen zhang.

He stood up, pushed open the door, and walked out.

Beside him, Yan Ruyu immediately bowed and saluted, ”Master, it is time to bathe.”

Cao Bu nodded and headed toward the bathing pool.

Under Yan Ruyu’s attendance, he quickly washed away the faint scent belonging to Gu Lingshuang from his body.

At this moment, Ye Linglong’s voice rang in Cao Bu’s mind, ”Cao Bu, I’m back.”

Cao Bu replied via voice transmission without changing his expression, ”How did it go?”

Ye Linglong’s voice was full of excitement, ”Of course it was a perfect conclusion!”

Cao Bu said, ”Do this: take advantage of the fact that everyone is currently staring at Moyue Residence and go capture the daughters of those old fossils like Xia Yuan.”

Ye Linglong understood instantly, ”You want to use them to assist your Cultivation?”

Cao Bu nodded, ”Smart.”

Ye Linglong replied, ”Good, I’m going now.”

After speaking, her aura vanished into the air without a sound.

Not long after.

After washing away the faint scent of Gu Lingshuang, Cao Bu said in a deep voice, ”Xiao Yu, come with me to Moyue Residence.”

”Master, aren’t servants not allowed to go there?” Yan Ruyu asked, puzzled.

Cao Bu glanced in the direction outside the courtyard, ”Today is special. Didn’t you see that everyone has surrounded Moyue Peak so tightly that not even water could trickle through?”

Yan Ruyu had naturally seen it, but her current identity was Cao Bu’s Maidservant.

Plus, the Gu Clan did not allow casual use of Divine Sense for investigation, so she still didn’t know what had happened on Moyue Peak.

The two got dressed, and hurried toward Moyue Residence.
