Rebirth with a Space to Counterattack and Abuse the Scumbag
Chapter 107 The Path of Inheritance Begins: Obstacles from Family Bonds
"I remember now!" I slapped my forehead. "There are quite a few things to prepare for the Land of Inheritance. Gu Ling specially made a list for me. I need to pack quickly." I turned around and went back to my room, opened the wardrobe, and began to look for suitable clothes.
Lightweight and durable are the top priorities. I also need to bring the protective suit that Gu Ling gave me before. I don't know what the environment of the Inheritance Land is like, so it's always good to be prepared.
Gong Lin followed me in and silently helped me pack my bags.
He packed essential medicines, tools, and dry rations into his backpack with practiced and meticulous movements.
We don't need many words; a single glance is enough for us to understand each other's thoughts.
This unspoken understanding makes me feel safe and warm.
"Is everything packed?" Gong Lin's voice was deep and gentle.
I nodded and tied the last package tightly.
"Yes, let's get ready to go." My voice trembled slightly.
I know that the road ahead is long and full of unknown challenges, but I must face it bravely.
I must face the trials of this land of heritage.
only……
I looked at the package in my hand, and a sense of unease welled up inside me.
I haven't told my father about my decision yet.
I took a deep breath and pushed open my father's bedroom door.
"Dad, I have something to tell you."
My father was sitting at the table reading a book. When he saw me come in, he put down his book and smiled kindly.
"Xiao Qing, what's wrong?"
“Dad, I…” I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down, “I need to go somewhere.”
"Where?" asked the father.
“A…very far away place.” I didn’t dare look my father in the eye, and my voice grew softer and softer.
"A very far place?" The father frowned slightly. "What are you going there for?"
“Go…to accept a test.” I finally said it, but it felt like a boulder was pressing on my chest, making it hard to breathe.
The father's expression instantly turned serious.
"What kind of test?" His voice was low and hoarse, as if he had a premonition of something.
"A...very important test." My palms started sweating, and my heart was beating faster and faster.
"Xiaoqing," her father's voice trembled slightly, "can you tell me what kind of test it is?"
I bit my lip, finally mustered my courage, raised my head, looked into my father's eyes, and said, word by word, "I am going to the land of inheritance to undergo the test of inheritance."
"What?!" The father suddenly stood up, the book in his hand falling to the ground with a dull thud.
His face was pale, and his lips were trembling. "No! Absolutely not!" he almost shouted.
The atmosphere in the room froze instantly, and an invisible pressure enveloped me, making it almost impossible for me to breathe.
"Xiaoqing, listen to me," the father's voice trembled, with a hint of pleading, "that place is too dangerous, you can't go!"
"Dad, I know it's dangerous, but..."
“There are no buts!” my father interrupted me. “I absolutely will not let you go!”
My heart aches as if it's being stabbed.
I understand my father's concerns, but I cannot give up this opportunity.
“Dad…” I choked up, wanting to explain, but not knowing how to say it.
Just then, a steady voice came from outside the door...
“Uncle…” “Uncle,” it was Gong Lin’s voice. He pushed open the door and walked to my side. His tall figure was like a sturdy pine tree, standing between me and my father.
"You don't need to worry too much. I will do everything I can to protect Xiaoqing and will not let her get hurt in any way."
Gong Lin's tone was calm and firm, like a rock, carrying a reassuring power.
I looked at him, and his deep eyes were filled with trust and support. A warm feeling welled up in my heart, as if I had found the strongest support.
He's always like that, giving me strength in crucial moments.
The father looked at Gong Lin. He knew Gong Lin's strength and his character. Perhaps it was because of this that he wavered.
He sighed heavily, his tone softening, "Xiao Lin, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just... I'm really worried about that place."
“Uncle, I understand your concerns,” Gong Lin said calmly. “I will protect her with my life and will not let her suffer the slightest injustice.”
I clenched my fists, my heart pounding with excitement.
His words, "I understand your concerns," made me feel his delicate tenderness, and his words, "I will protect her with my life," filled my heart with strength.
With him by my side, what do I have to be afraid of?
I was about to speak when I sensed an unusual aura, a faint energy carrying a hint of malice and jealousy permeating the air.
I quickly looked around, but found nothing unusual.
Is it my misunderstanding?
Hmph, whatever it is, I am the one who will inherit the legacy. How can a little storm stop me?
"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely come back safely!" I smiled, my tone relaxed but firm, not wanting my father to worry too much.
My father looked at me, then at Gong Lin, and finally sighed helplessly.
"Sigh, you two are such a worry." His tone was helpless, but his eyes were full of care.
My heart warmed, knowing that my father had tacitly approved.
"Alright, it's getting late, let's go." Gong Lin's tone was slightly urging. He was always like this, decisive and efficient, never dragging his feet.
I nodded in agreement and turned to walk towards the door.
The moment I stepped out the door, my foot suddenly slipped, and an unexpected pulling force nearly made me fall to the ground.
"Watch out!" Gong Lin exclaimed, quickly grabbing my arm.
I steadied myself and looked down, only to find a shallow pit that had been dug in the ground, covered with a thin layer of fallen leaves.
I was startled and immediately realized that this was done on purpose, but who could it be?
Just as I was thinking, Gong Lin took my hand and held it tightly, as if he was giving me strength.
He looked at me with unwavering eyes, a hint of tenderness in them.
The warmth of his palm traveled through my skin to my heart, dispelling my unease.
"It's alright." His voice was deep and gentle, like a spring breeze brushing against my cheek.
I leaned against him, feeling the warmth and strength emanating from him.
His broad chest is my safest haven.
In this oppressive environment, his gentle gaze, like a shining star, illuminated my world.
“I know who did it.” I raised my head, my gaze fixed firmly ahead.
Gong Lin didn't speak, but listened quietly. He knew that I already had the answer in my heart.
Instead of avoiding the trap, I deliberately stepped on it.
Because I had already noticed it. From the moment I stepped out of the room, I sensed a strange aura. It was a faint energy fluctuation carrying malice and jealousy, but it did not escape my perception.
Wu Jun, that guy who's always been jealous of me, I never expected him to resort to such despicable tactics.
Haha, that's ridiculous!
I cried out "Ouch!" and pretended to stumble. Gong Lin quickly caught me and asked with concern, "Are you alright? Are you hurt?"
I shook my head and rubbed my ankle in feigned pain. "It's nothing, I just twisted it."
Wu Jun, who was hiding in the shadows, saw that I was "injured" and a smug smile appeared on his face.
He thought his scheme had succeeded, but little did he know that everything was under my control.
I smiled slightly.
"Who was so careless as to dig a hole here?" I deliberately raised my voice, pretending to be completely unaware.
My voice was exceptionally clear in the quiet night. Wu Jun, who was hiding in the shadows, turned pale instantly. He panicked and tried to escape, only to find that he was already surrounded.
Seeing his flustered state, I sneered inwardly. Trying to ambush me? You're still too green!
“Come out, Wu Jun,” I said with a hint of mockery, “Don’t hide, I know it’s you.”
Wu Jun emerged from the shadows, his face deathly pale. He kept his head down, avoiding my gaze.
"I...I..." he stammered, unable to speak.
Seeing his disheveled appearance, I felt a surge of satisfaction.
Gong Lin's hand was still tightly holding mine. I took a deep breath, straightened my back, and prepared to face the challenge ahead.
“Wu Jun,” my voice was calm and firm, “do you think this will stop me?” I paused, a cold smile playing on my lips, “Let me tell you, no obstacle can shake my resolve!”
I……
I turned around, looked directly at Wu Jun, and said in a firm voice, "I'm telling you, no obstacle can shake my determination; it will only make me more determined to move forward!"
Wu Jun's face was deathly pale, like a wilted eggplant, and he stood there listlessly.
He originally thought that this small trap would make me back down, but to his surprise, I not only did not back down, but became even more determined.
He lowered his head, avoiding my gaze, his eyes flashing with shame and regret.
Although the father no longer strongly opposed it, a trace of worry still lingered between his brows.
More importantly, Uncle Gong is unaware of the situation.
He controls the Gong family's treasury, and many key items needed for the inheritance site require his permission to be retrieved.
Gong Lin squeezed my hand and gave me a reassuring look.
I know he will definitely stand by my side and fight alongside me.
“Let’s go,” I said to Gong Lin, “Let’s go to the Gong family home.”
My tone was firm, as if what awaited me was not a challenge, but a triumphant song of victory.
Gong Lin nodded and we smiled at each other.
We walked side by side toward the Gong family, leaving Wu Jun's lonely figure behind us.
As night falls and the lights come on, the Gong family mansion appears exceptionally solemn and mysterious in the darkness.
Standing in front of the Gong family's gate, I took a deep breath and felt a tense atmosphere permeating the air.
"Are you ready?" Gong Lin turned to look at me, his eyes filled with encouragement.
I nodded, a confident smile playing on my lips. "Of course."
Gong Lin raised his hand, about to knock on the door, when the door suddenly opened...
