My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 768: A Sharp Sword in Hand



Xuan Wu and Xuan Fei left with faces full of misery.

To stay alive, they had no choice but to act as spies once more.

To speak from the heart, the taste of being a spy is really too distressing. Not only do you have to face danger, but you also have to bear immense pressure. A slightest lapse in attention can cause a breakdown.

"They look quite pitiful." He Hentian smacked his lips.

"They brought this upon themselves," Gao Fei snorted. "If they hadn't come to assassinate us, how could we have caught them?"

...

Five days later.

Xuan Wu and Xuan Fei returned, both looking haggard.

"We almost got exposed," Xuan Wu said. "Luckily, we were vigilant and avoided disaster, otherwise..."

"Enough, no more useless talk," Gao Fei waved his hand. "Let's get to the point, did you find out any vulnerabilities about Little Ancestor Tianji?"

"We heard something, but we don't know if it's true."

"Speak quickly."

"I inquired everywhere and then entered the Scripture Pavilion to pore over ancient texts from ten thousand years ago, and finally, I found some secrets."

"Oh come on, stop beating around the bush and just tell us!" He Hentian cried out impatiently. "Hurry up."

"According to the records, Little Ancestor was born into a wealthy family, living a life of luxury from a young age. His secular name is Liang Feiqing. By chance, he witnessed two Cultivators in combat, which was so astonishing that he was dazzled and became obsessed with Cultivate Immortality from that moment. He would leave early and return late, inquiring everywhere about the Cultivate Immortality Sect, and no matter how his family tried to persuade him, he wouldn't listen. Later, Little Ancestor abandoned his wife and son, leaving alone, and never returned home again."

"Damn, that's harsh! He even had the heart to abandon his wife and son. Did his conscience get eaten by a dog?" He Hentian cursed.

"Don't interrupt. Let him finish speaking," Gao Fei glared at He Hentian, then turned back to Xuan Wu. "Continue, what happened after that?"

Licking his dry lips, Xuan Wu continued, "After Little Ancestor abandoned his wife and left home, it angered his parents so much that they became ill on the spot and not long after, passed away… Little Ancestor's wife, devastated by grief, endured for the sake of her young son. A gentle woman, she took control of their vast family assets, which ignited the covetousness of many. Every day, thugs and bullies would come to cause trouble. Some were after money, others for lewd purposes. Little Ancestor's wife was a famous beauty in the region, with no one daring to make trouble while her in-laws and husband were there to protect her. But now with her in-laws dead and her only husband missing, those thugs and bullies had no scruples left and began to hound her, extorting and pressuring her…" Xuan Wu suddenly halted.

"Hey, don't stop there, keep talking," Gao Fei was listening intently. "Keep going, what happened next?"

"Hurry up, will you stop holding back, huh?" He Hentian urged.

Duanmu Hong sat quietly on the side, not speaking.

"Ah…" Xuan Wu sighed softly. "Little Ancestor's wife was driven to death alive."

"What? Dead?" He Hentian's eyes widened.

"Driven to death?" Gao Fei frowned.

"Unable to bear the humiliation, Little Ancestor's wife took poison and committed suicide."

"What about Little Ancestor's child?"

"Also dead."

"Dead? How?"

"Poisoned. Little Ancestor's wife, fearing her child would suffer alone, steeled her heart and poisoned her child too, and mother and child died together."

"Damn it!" Gao Fei couldn't help but curse, "What a heartless mother! It's one thing for her to want to die, but to take her own child with her! This kid really had terrible luck, first running into an irresponsible father and then a cruel-hearted mother, ending up poisoned to death, it's just so sad."

"What the hell?!" He Hentian cursed furiously, "That little bastard Xiao Zutian is a scumbag, so is his wife! Two scumbags killed an innocent child, that's just... despicable and hateful!!"

Even Duanmu Hong couldn't help but curse a few words, calling Xiao Zutian heartless and not fit to be human.

"At first, I thought Xiao Zutian was some saintly high monk, but now I see he's nothing but a despicable man, and this kind of person has lived for a hundred thousand years, heaven really is blind!" Gao Fei swore.

Xuan Wu and Xuan Fei nodded in agreement, "What Xiao Zutian did... really is a bit too much... Even if you want to cultivate immortality, you can't just abandon your wife and son, right?"

"So, does Xiao Zutian know about these things?" Gao Fei asked, "Does he know his parents died of illness, and his wife and son were driven to death?"

"This... he should know..." Xuan Wu said uncertainly, "With such a big incident, there's no way he wouldn't know."

"Hmm, did you find out anything else?"

"No, that's all I found."

"Well, thanks for the hard work, Senior Duanmu, please take care of their detoxification."

...

After the poison was cured, Xuan Wu and Xuan Fei wanted to leave, "We can go now, right?"

"Didn't I say it already? You can leave after I take care of Xiao Zutian," Gao Fei said indifferently, "Go and rest aside."

"I knew it would be like this," Xuan Wu snorted and pulled Xuan Fei to one side.

He Hentian blinked in confusion, "Huh? Why didn't they get angry today? Why did they agree to stay so readily?"

Gao Fei smiled slightly, "You know, when people are used to being on the losing end, it becomes a habit."

He Hentian raised his thumb in admiration, "What a fitting metaphor! I'm impressed!"

"Alright, let's talk about some serious matters," Duanmu Hong said, "Now that we know Xiao Zutian's weakness, our next move should revolve around that."

"Yeah, let's do that," Gao Fei nodded.

...

In the sunlight, the imperial city gleamed with a faint halo, dazzling and stunningly beautiful.

The heavy city gates opened, and a man and a woman walked out side by side, the man handsome, dressed in royal prince attire, the woman beautiful, in princess attire. At this point, you probably already guessed who they are, right? That's right, they are Dongfang Jian and Dugu Xiu.

Both wore smiles, looking in a good mood.

"I really didn't expect it! Liu Yifei actually let me help him govern the Human Territory," Dongfang Jian laughed, "This way, the power in my hands has grown a lot."

"Liu Yifei is a cultivation freak, he spends a lot of time every day cultivating, how could he have the energy to manage the Human Territory?" Dugu Xiu smiled sweetly, "We visit the palace often, treating Liu Yifei with utmost respect, obeying his every word without hesitation... Our efforts have paid off, and we've received a great reward."

"Originally, the one to assist Liu Yifei in managing the Human Territory was He Hentian, but alas, He Hentian was too arrogant and didn't take Liu Yifei seriously, which really annoyed Liu Yifei," Dongfang Jian said with a laugh, "Liu Yifei promotes and trusts me in the hope that I can suppress He Hentian. To put it bluntly, I am the Sharp Sword in Liu Yifei's hand, helping him eliminate dissidents."

"Hmm, since you understand the reasoning behind it, make sure you perform well and don't disappoint Liu Yifei," Dugu Xiu instructed.

"Don't worry, I'm clear on what to do," Dongfang Jian said with a smile.
