My Sexy CEO Wife

Immortal Master Huang had barely left when Chen San arrived.

"My lord, I've heard some news..."

"What news?"

"It's being spread all over that Shangguan Yunyue, the Palace Master of Piaomiao Palace, has fallen into an ambush, and his life or death is uncertain."

"What!" Gao Fei shot to his feet, his eyes staring intensely at Chen San, his gaze sharp as knives, "Shangguan Yunyue fell into an ambush? Is the news reliable?"

"It's likely true..."

"Go, investigate immediately. I must have this matter investigated clearly before nightfall."

"Ah, yes." Chen San turned and hurried away; he had not expected Gao Fei's reaction to be so intense.

Gao Fei frowned, pacing back and forth in his room. At this moment, his heart was in chaos! Shangguan Yunyue had fallen into an ambush? How could that be possible? Shangguan Yunyue was a Transcendence Tribulation Stage expert, who could possibly lay a trap for him?

It must be a rumor!

It has to be a rumor!

It can only be a rumor!

Gao Fei kept comforting himself in his heart.

Before nightfall, Chen San returned: "My lord, I have found out the truth. Shangguan Yunyue really did fall into an ambush..." Chen San found that as he finished his sentence, Gao Fei's expression turned extremely grim: "It was Nangong Qi who laid the ambush for Shangguan Yunyue. Nangong Qi is the Vice Palace Master of Piaomiao Palace."

"Nangong Qi?!" Gao Fei's eyes glittered with intense murderous intent, "Why would he lay an ambush for Shangguan Yunyue?"

"This... I am not sure about..." Chen San shook his head.

"No!" Gao Fei declared with unwavering determination, "I cannot stand by and do nothing!" Saying this, Gao Fei strode towards the door to leave.

"My lord, please don't act rashly!" Chen San was startled, quickly rushing over to block Gao Fei: "This matter has nothing to do with you..."

"How do you know it has nothing to do with me?"

"Ah?"

"During the days I am gone, I will leave the military camp in your and Liu Qing's charge."

"My lord, you must keep calm..."

"Enough, no more persuasion." Gao Fei pushed Chen San away from the doorway and quickly left.

When Chen San chased after him, Gao Fei had already vanished.

"Damn it!" Chen San stamped his foot furiously, saying anxiously, "Has our lord lost his mind! The affairs of Piaomiao Palace are not for him to meddle in! No, I must go and consult with Liu Qing!" By the time Chen San found Liu Qing and explained the situation, Liu Qing's expression remained very calm, showing not the slightest bit of haste.

"Enough, don't bother." Liu Qing waved his hand dismissively, "What kind of temper our lord has, we are all well aware; once he has decided on something, not even nine bulls could pull him back..."

"But..."

"I know you worry about our lord! In fact, so do I, but... our words carry limited weight, we have limited abilities, we truly can't help our lord. Hence... we had better stay within the military camp, attend to our own duties, and not create more trouble for our lord."

"Alas!" Chen San heaved a deep sigh, "Our lord... really knows how to make trouble."

...

"Swoosh!"

A figure dashed from afar, one moment a thousand yards away, the next right in front of Gao Fei – on closer inspection, it turned out to be the Great Demon, Immortal Master Huang.

"Didn't you tell me to go deal with Dongfang Jian? Why did you send a message for me to hurry back?" Immortal Master Huang asked, puzzled.

"The situation has changed, the plan is canceled for now."

"What happened?"

"A friend of mine has encountered danger, and urgently needs my help for rescue. I fear my own strength is insufficient, that's why I called you back."

"A friend? What friend? Male or female?"

"Stop asking so much! Just follow me."

"Still keeping secrets? Heh heh... Seems like you're not just any ordinary friend."

After a few words, Gao Fei and Immortal Master Huang took to the air and left.

...

Several days later.

Immortal Master Huang looked up, gazing at the towering mountain opposite him: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the territory of Piaomiao Palace, right?"

"You're not mistaken, this is indeed the territory of Piaomiao Palace." Gao Fei nodded.

"Why have you brought me here?" Immortal Master Huang turned his head, his eyes shining brightly as he looked at Gao Fei: "Are you hiding something from me?"

Gao Fei took a deep breath: "The person I need to rescue is... Piaomiao Palace's Palace Master, Shangguan Yunyue."

"Who?"

"Shangguan Yunyue!"

"Am I hearing things?"

"No, you heard right. It's her!"

"Damn it!" Immortal Master Huang glared fiercely at Gao Fei: "You're scheming against me, aren't you, wanting me to take risks... You... You're really too cunning... Sorry, I can't help you with this. You should find someone else more capable."

"Besides you, there's no one else who can help me."

"This is Piaomiao Palace! The defenses are tight, and it's filled with experts; even if I had the ability to move heaven and earth, I wouldn't be able to break in."

"I'm not asking you to force your way in, I want you to sneak in... and then find the right moment to rescue the person..."

"No way, I can't do it." Immortal Master Huang shook his head vigorously: "I'm not ready to die."

"I won't let you help for nothing, I'll give you a reward, a generous one."

"Even if you offered me an entire Purple Crystal Mine, I wouldn't help."

"Really? No way?"

"No way!" Immortal Master Huang shook his head decisively: "It's not that I don't want to help you, but... it's too dangerous, practically a surefire death. Listen to me, it's not too late to back out now..."

"I'll give you back your soul!" Gao Fei, biting his teeth, offered a condition that Immortal Master Huang couldn't refuse.

"Huh... What did you say? Say it again!"

"You help me rescue her! I'll give you back your soul!"

"Are you serious?"

"I can swear to the heavens, if I speak even half a lie, may I be struck by lightning and meet a violent death!" To rescue Shangguan Yunyue, Gao Fei was really going all out. He had once forcefully taken a wisp of Immortal Master Huang's soul and since then, Immortal Master Huang had no choice but to follow Gao Fei's orders obediently.

Immortal Master Huang stared into Gao Fei's eyes for a long while before finally speaking: "I have two questions."

"Go ahead." Gao Fei nodded: "As long as I know, I'll tell you the truth."

"First question." Immortal Master Huang held up one finger: "Is Shangguan Yunyue worth such a great expense for her rescue?"

"Yes."

"Second question." Immortal Master Huang held up another finger: "You could have used my soul to threaten me, to force me to go rescue Shangguan Yunyue... but you didn't do that. Instead, you've decided to give it back to me. Why? I really can't figure it out. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't do that."

"Do you want to hear the truth, or a lie?"

"Of course, the truth."

"Because I consider you a friend! I can't bear to threaten you."

"Is it that simple?"

"Yes." Gao Fei nodded: "The human heart is made of flesh. In this time, you've shielded me from the wind and rain, and saved my life several times. I'm truly grateful to you. A long time ago, I already considered you a friend, my best friend. I value our friendship and don't want to destroy it."

After hearing Gao Fei's words, Immortal Master Huang fell silent. He had not expected Gao Fei to say such things; it was a complete surprise. So, a long time ago... Gao Fei already considered me a friend...

"Here, take this." Gao Fei handed over a small vial to Immortal Master Huang: "Inside is a wisp of your soul. Take it back." With his actions, Gao Fei demonstrated his sincerity. I'm returning the soul to you first, can you trust me now?
