Rebirth with a Space to Counterattack and Abuse the Scumbag

Behind the door stood an elderly man dressed in a black Tang suit, who was Gong Lin's third uncle and the guardian of the Gong family's treasure vault.

His face was serious, exuding an air of authority without anger. When he saw us, he paused slightly, then his gaze fell on me with a hint of scrutiny.

“Third Uncle,” Gong Lin spoke first, his tone respectful, “Qingqing and I have something to ask of you.”

Uncle Gong's gaze swept back and forth between the two of us, and he asked in a deep voice, "What is it?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Gong Lin directly stated their purpose: "We want to go to the Land of Inheritance and need to borrow some items from the treasure vault."

Uncle Gong's face instantly darkened, and his already stern expression became even more frosty.

He stared sharply at Gong Lin, his tone tinged with displeasure: "Nonsense! The Land of Inheritance is not a game! You think you can just go whenever you want? What if something happens? Who will be responsible?"

The atmosphere inside the room suddenly became tense, like a taut string that could snap at any moment.

I stood beside Gong Lin and felt his grip on my hand tighten slightly.

Gong Lin did not back down and said firmly, "Third Uncle, we have made full preparations, nothing will happen."

"Prepare? What preparations?" Uncle Gong sneered. "Do you know what the Land of Inheritance means? It's a secret that our Gong family has guarded for generations. How can we allow you to set foot there so casually?"

“Third Uncle, I know your concerns,” Gong Lin explained patiently, “but the land of inheritance is of utmost importance to us.”

"Crucial?" Uncle Gong's tone became even sterner. "I think you've been bewitched by this girl, listening to everything she says! How dare a junior like you interfere in matters of the inheritance grounds?"

I stood aside, listening to the argument between the uncle and nephew, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

I know that Uncle Gong San meant well, but his overly conservative and stubborn nature became an obstacle.

The atmosphere inside the room grew increasingly oppressive, as if the air itself had solidified.

Gong Lin's expression gradually turned grim. He took a deep breath and slowly said, "Third Uncle, I..."

Gong Lin took a deep breath and slowly spoke, "Third Uncle, I understand your concerns, but please believe me. I am not acting rashly, but after careful consideration. Our trip to the Land of Inheritance is not only to unravel its secrets, but also for the future of the family. My experiences in the army these past few years have made me deeply realize that the family's strength needs to be elevated to a higher level. Only by passing the test of the Land of Inheritance can we gain greater power and enable the Gong family to make a difference on a larger scale."

Gong Lin's words were like a torrent, and a series of principles were like sharp swords, piercing Gong Sanshu's heart.

His words were filled with confidence and determination, making them impossible to ignore.

Uncle Gong's eyes flickered slightly, as if Gong Lin's words had touched some emotions.

"The future of the family?" Uncle Gong's tone softened slightly, but a hint of doubt remained. "Are you really confident?"

Gong Lin nodded, his tone firm: "Yes, Third Uncle. I am not only confident, but I have also made detailed plans. Our trip will be a powerful cornerstone for the Gong family."

Uncle Gong remained silent for a moment, his brows furrowed, as if he were deep in thought.

Finally, he took a deep breath and slowly said, "Alright, considering the contributions you've made to the family over the years, I can consider lending you the treasure. But you must agree to one condition."

Standing beside Gong Lin, I felt a surge of excitement upon hearing this, and a relieved smile appeared on my face.

Uncle Gong finally relented. Although the conditions were unknown, there was at least some hope.

Uncle Gong continued, "You must return the treasure intact within a month and pay a storage fee. This fee is not a small amount, so you should think it over carefully."

As soon as Uncle Gong finished speaking, Gong Lin and I exchanged a glance, looking somewhat troubled.

This storage fee is indeed not a small amount, but for the sake of preservation, we have no other choice.

Gong Lin nodded firmly: "Third Uncle, we understand. We will abide by your conditions."

Uncle Gong nodded, finally showing a hint of satisfaction: "Alright, then follow me."

I gripped Gong Lin's hand tightly, a warm feeling welling up inside me.

Gong Lin smiled slightly, squeezed my hand, and said softly, "Qingqing, don't worry, I'm here for you." Gong Lin's warm hand enveloped me, and the temperature of his palm seemed to have some kind of magic, instantly soothing the unease in my heart.

I took his hand in return, looked up at him, and the trust and love in my eyes were self-evident.

His lips curled up slightly, giving me a reassuring look.

Under pressure from our families, we relied on each other and became even more determined.

Following Uncle Gong through the long corridor, the air was filled with an ancient atmosphere, and every brick and tile seemed to tell the story of the Gong family's long history.

My heart started racing; I was both excited and nervous.

I've arrived at the land of heritage!

Uncle Gong led us to the depths of the treasure vault, where a heavy iron gate appeared before us, engraved with intricate patterns and exuding a mysterious aura.

He took out an old-fashioned key from his pocket, inserted it into the lock, and with a dull thud, the iron gate slowly opened.

The interior of the vault was resplendent with gold and dazzling with a multitude of treasures.

Rare medicinal herbs, ancient weapons, dazzling jewels...

Everything is available.

I couldn't help but marvel at the profound heritage of the Gong family, which also strengthened my resolve to pass the test of inheritance.

“You may choose three of these treasures,” Uncle Gong said solemnly, pointing to the dazzling array of items, “but you must return them within a month and pay ten century-old ginseng roots as a storage fee.”

Ten ginseng roots that are over a hundred years old!

Even with my current business achievements, this is a considerable sum.

I frowned slightly, quickly calculating in my mind.

"Third Uncle," I stepped forward, my tone sincere, "ten century-old ginseng roots are indeed quite valuable. Could I find another way to pay for this?"

Uncle Gong was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting me to make such a request.

"Oh? What method do you want to use?" he asked with great interest.

"I can use my business resources to bring greater benefits to the Gong family," I answered confidently, my tone firm. "For example, I can help the Gong family expand into overseas markets and internationalize their businesses..."

I briefly explained my business plan to Uncle Gong.

Gong Lin listened quietly from the side, his eyes full of admiration.

Uncle Gong's originally serious face gradually revealed a look of surprise. He did not expect that a young woman like me would have such business acumen and foresight.

I paused for a moment, then continued, "I believe this is more valuable than ten ginseng roots that are a hundred years old."

Uncle Gong fell silent. He paced back and forth in the treasure vault with his hands behind his back, seemingly seriously considering my proposal.

A tense atmosphere filled the air. I held my breath, waiting for his final decision.

After a long while, he stopped and stared intently at me. "Are you sure you can do it?"

I nodded without hesitation, "I'm sure!"

Uncle Gong's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile...

“Okay, I promise you.” Uncle Gong’s voice carried a hint of disbelief. He stared at me intently, as if trying to see right through me. “If you can do what you say, then those ten century-old ginseng roots will be my gift to you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, I felt a surge of emotion in my chest.

Become!

I successfully persuaded the stubborn Uncle Gong!

I couldn't help but smile slightly. I turned to look at Gong Lin, whose eyes were full of admiration. His gentle gaze warmed my heart.

"Third Uncle, don't worry, I won't let you down." My tone was full of confidence, and also tinged with gratitude.

Uncle Gong nodded slightly, his facial features softening considerably. He pointed to the dazzling array of treasures in the vault, indicating that we should make our selections.

The treasure trove shone brightly, and various rare treasures exuded an ancient and mysterious aura.

My gaze swept quickly across the area, finally settling on three items: a seemingly ordinary jade pendant, a yellowed ancient book, and a dagger carved with intricate patterns.

I handed the three treasures I had chosen to Gong Lin, who carefully accepted them with a hint of seriousness in his eyes.

We exchanged a knowing smile, our hearts filled with anticipation for the new challenges that lay ahead.

"You must make good use of these treasures. Remember, you must not be careless." Uncle Gong's voice carried a hint of admonition. He looked at us as if he saw the future hope of the Gong family.

A warm feeling welled up inside me; it felt so good to be recognized by my family.

Stepping out of the treasure vault, the warm sunshine felt wonderful on my skin.

Gong Lin gripped my hand tightly, his fingertips gently caressing my palm, as if transmitting strength.

Surprised shouts and congratulations from my family members filled the air, and I felt surrounded by blessings, which instantly gave me a surge of pride.

I glanced back at the tightly closed doors of the treasure vault, my heart filled with emotion.

We've finally taken this step!

But this is just the beginning.

Next, we'll have to face that mysterious old craftsman, Old Master Lin. He's a tough one, and we don't know what kind of exorbitant demands he'll come up with this time.

Gong Lin noticed my worry, patted the back of my hand, and said firmly, "Don't worry, it'll be fine."

I took a deep breath and temporarily put my worries aside.

Now that we have the treasure, the next step is to find Elder Lin as soon as possible and break the protective formation of the inheritance site.

“Let’s go.” I looked at Gong Lin and said firmly.

He nodded, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. "Let's go..."
