Chapter 1825: Demon Faction Infighting

That night, Xiao Zheng took three cold showers.

It wasn’t until the middle of the night that he finally fell asleep.

The next day.

Xiao Zheng woke up early in the morning.

When he opened his eyes, he found that Leng Ruobing was still asleep. Looking at Leng Ruobing’s increasingly charming face, a faint smile involuntarily appeared on his face, and he gently brushed her hair with his hand.

After doing all this, Xiao Zheng gently got out of bed.

As soon as he left the bedroom, Leng Ruobing slowly opened her eyes, looked toward the bedroom door, and a faint smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

Xiao Zheng didn’t know that Leng Ruobing was actually pretending to be asleep just now.

He went to the living room and found Chu Xiaoran already sitting on the sofa, holding a bowl of grapes, eating while watching TV.

Seeing Xiao Zheng coming downstairs, she seemed to remember last night’s events, and her cheeks quickly turned red: "You’re awake? I’ve already bought breakfast. If you’re hungry, go and eat."

Xiao Zheng looked at her blushing cheeks and found it amusing, but then curiously asked: "Why are you up so early today? On weekends, don’t you usually sleep until nearly noon?"

Hearing this, Chu Xiaoran wrinkled her nose and said with a playful hum: "I’m not that lazy, okay? Do you think I’m a pig? Besides, I have something to do later, so I got up early."

"You’re going out to run errands so early? It’s only a little after eight," Xiao Zheng said in surprise.

Chu Xiaoran helplessly replied: "I can’t help it. The company assigned a new task that I need to follow up on. But it shouldn’t take too long, at most an hour or two to finish."

"This afternoon, our company is holding a promotional event at Rongxing Mall, so I need to go check the stage setup."

"I see. Well, then, let’s go out together later," Xiao Zheng suggested, "We haven’t gone shopping together for a long time. After you finish, we’ll stroll around Rongxing Mall."

"Really? That’s great! I was worried it would be boring to go to the event alone!" Chu Xiaoran said happily.

Xiao Zheng smiled and then went into the dining room to have breakfast.

Ten minutes later, Leng Ruobing also came to the living room.

After learning about their plans, she didn’t refuse. After all, she’s been wanting to go out shopping. Since becoming pregnant, aside from occasional trips to work, she’s been practically cooped up at home every day and was almost dying of boredom.

After breakfast, the three of them went out together.

Xiao Zheng drove and took Chu Xiaoran to Rongxing Mall.

As they got out of the car, they indeed found workers busy in front of Rongxing Mall, already having built the framework of a stage, which would be completed in another one or two hours at most.

Chu Xiaoran stayed on-site, while Xiao Zheng took Leng Ruobing shopping inside the mall first.

About an hour and a half later, Chu Xiaoran joined them.

The three of them shopped until a little past four in the afternoon, returning home after a fulfilling day.

After taking Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran home, Xiao Zheng drove alone to the Sky Net headquarters. At the headquarters base, people were constantly coming and going. When they saw Xiao Zheng, they respectfully saluted him.

Xiao Zheng responded with a friendly smile to each of them.

It was evident that he was in a good mood today.

Xiao Zheng finally walked into Long Qie’s office and saw Long Qie’s busy figure at the desk: "It’s past four, and you’re still busy?"

Hearing this, Long Qie lifted his head with a look of surprise: "Mr. Xiao? You’re finally back! Catherine called me to say she was safe a week ago, but then you vanished."

"During your time in Europe, where exactly did you go? We were all worried about you and didn’t dare to tell Miss Leng."

"I went to find Hades. I sparred with her, got injured, and ended up staying with her for about a week," Xiao Zheng briefly recounted his European trip.

Long Qie wasn’t particularly interested in these matters. As long as Xiao Zheng returned safely, Long Qie could be at ease.

Xiao Zheng led Long Qie to sit on the sofa and asked, "How have things been going recently? Any new information from the Demon Alliance?"

He was particularly concerned about the happenings in the Demon Alliance.

Hearing this, Long Qie nodded and said, "Actually, I have received some new information about the Demon Alliance. It seems like they’re planning something big!"

"Something big? Like what? Are they planning to counterattack the Eight Sacred Lands or target us?" Xiao Zheng asked with a half-smile.

However, Long Qie seriously replied: "Neither! It seems there’s internal strife within the Demon Alliance. According to the information I’ve received, the nine major sects that first founded the Demon Alliance have been secretly clashing. Just the day before yesterday, there was even a significant battle."

"The estimated number of casualties is over a thousand!"

"So many people died? What on earth are those Demon Alliance folks up to?" Xiao Zheng frowned, sensing a hint of conspiracy, "Their strength already can’t compare to the righteous factions. Why internal conflict?"

After hearing his words, Long Qie smiled wryly and said, "That’s exactly what confuses me. I can’t understand why the people of the Demon Alliance would have internal strife."

"Have you sent people to keep investigating?" Xiao Zheng asked.

Long Qie nodded and said: "Of course. Since you said to pay more attention to the Demon Alliance, I’ve sent many spies. We receive new reports daily, but they haven’t reached the core of the Demon Alliance yet."

"Infiltrating into the core levels of the Demon Alliance isn’t something that can be done overnight," Xiao Zheng said, "However, we can focus our investigation on a small number of sects within the Demon Alliance first."

"This way, it can save time and manpower while being more efficient."

"If I’m not mistaken, the reason for the internal strife in the Demon Alliance is certainly related to the nine major sects. As for those minor factions, they’re just pawns and not worth investigating."

After pausing for a moment, an image of Liu Yiyi inexplicably flashed in Xiao Zheng’s mind.

A flash of unfamiliar emotion crossed his eyes as he said, "Especially the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect, I think it should be a major focus of the investigation!"

Long Qie, raising an eyebrow, was filled with puzzlement and questions.
