I Am The Sole Heir

The scene was shocking.

Gu Yun was so terrified that she couldn't control herself and took a step back.

She could hardly believe that such a terrifying aura came from Gu Ling, who used to be a useless waste!

Even the current head of the Gu family, Gu Fu, didn't have such an overwhelming presence!

Gu Yun's heart trembled, but she quickly forced herself to calm down.

After all, the person standing in front of her was just the same useless Gu Ling from years ago.

Did she really need to be afraid of someone like her?

"You worthless trash! What's wrong with you? You want to get beaten again?"

"Let me teach you a lesson and remind you of your place!"

Furious, Gu Yun suddenly lunged forward, ready to beat Gu Ling until she was covered in blood and begging for mercy, just like before.

"Foolish and ignorant!"

Just as Gu Yun's fist was about to hit her, Gu Ling smirked coldly.

Gu Yun, who had learned a few martial arts moves, was indeed stronger than the original Gu Ling.

But compared to a former top special agent who had mastered the world's deadliest combat techniques…

One second before the punch landed, Gu Ling swiftly dodged to the left, easily avoiding Gu Yun's powerful blow.

Then, in a flash, she raised her knee, twisted her body, and used a standard Muay Thai combat move to send Gu Yun flying like a frog!

"Bang!"

"Gu Ling!!!"

At the same time, an angry roar came from behind them.

It was Gu Fu and his wife, Li Yanmei.

Both of them had witnessed Gu Ling's move at the same time.

Their eyes widened in shock as they stared at her, speechless.

Gu Ling, who had been unable to even perform the simplest front kick after years of martial arts training, had just executed a flawless Muay Thai technique and sent Gu Yun flying!

Shock.

Disbelief.

Impossible!

Even Gu Fu, a true master of the Gu family's martial arts, wasn't shocked because his "useless" daughter had defeated his precious Gu Yun.

No—he was shocked because…

That kick!

At first glance, Gu Ling's kick seemed ordinary.

But only those with real combat experience—like Gu Fu, could recognize it.

That was a killing move, a technique commonly used by international underground agents!

If Gu Ling had used just a little more force, Gu Yun would have died on the spot!

Gu Fu had only ever seen such moves used by elite agents at underground gatherings.

So how… how did his "worthless" daughter know this?

Could it be…

A terrifying suspicion arose in Gu Fu's mind.

Could she have been secretly trained by some international big shot?

Otherwise, how could she use a killing technique used by top agents?

But the thought only lingered for a few seconds before Gu Fu quickly dismissed it.

Impossible!

She was his lifelong shame!

A martial arts failure who couldn't even learn the most basic moves!

She wasn't worthy of being his daughter!

She must have cheated!

Yes, she must have used some kind of trick to send Gu Yun flying!

Thinking of this, Gu Fu's face darkened, and his eyes burned with anger.

"Gu Ling, do you even know what you're doing?!" he roared.

"Xiaoyun is your sister, yet you dared to use such a vicious move on her! Do you have any sense of family at all?!"

"Apologize to Xiaoyun right now!"

The mention of "Xiaoyun" made Gu Ling sneer.

Her "sister"?

Gu Yun was the daughter of her father's affair.

She was only acknowledged as part of the family after her mother died.

Gu Ling chuckled to herself.

As a former top agent, she had long learned to be independent. She didn't have time for petty family drama.

Ignoring the furious people in front of her, she turned around to leave.

But Gu Fu wasn't going to let her go that easily.

"What do you think you're doing?! You can't just walk away without apologizing to your sister!" he shouted.

Gu Ling didn't even acknowledge him.

She kept walking.

Seeing this, Gu Fu reached out to grab her.

But before his hand could touch her, Gu Ling raised her hand and blocked his attack effortlessly.

In a flash, she turned around, her expression cold and merciless.

"Don't touch me," she said sharply.

"You're not worthy."

Her words struck like thunder.

"Also," she continued, her voice filled with icy authority, "I don't have a sister."

"Remember this, I am the sole heir of Gu's Martial Arts Academy."

"If any of you dare to challenge me again… I'll kick you all out!"

With that, she didn't wait for their reaction.

She turned and walked upstairs without looking back.

Because of Gu Ling's warning that day, neither Gu Fu nor Gu Yun dared to bother her for the next few days.

Gu Ling, on the other hand, was too busy with her own plans to waste time on them.

The three days at home were surprisingly peaceful.

Three days later.

At night.

The Lu family's grand villa was brightly lit.

Tonight was the 80th birthday banquet of the Lu family's old patriarch, and many important guests had gathered.

By the time Gu Ling arrived, the banquet had not yet started.

She had always been a laid-back person, so she wandered around the venue lazily, not particularly interested in the event.

Just as she turned a corner—

She unexpectedly ran into Lu Ming and Lin Miaoyuan.
