My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 269 - 268 Became a Hot Commodity

Inside the Council Hall.

Jia Yunfeng glared at Gao Fei, his face incredibly grim. Gao Fei had actually become an Elite Disciple? Damn it! Was this some kind of joke?

Gao Fei had joined the Artifact Refining Pavilion just over a month ago, and in just over a month, he had cultivated to the Inedia Stage. This speed was simply defying the heavens.

What to do?

Jia Yunfeng's brow furrowed tightly, unsure of what to do next.

Now that Gao Fei had become an Elite Disciple, his status and position had greatly increased. If Jia Yunfeng insisted on killing Gao Fei, he would certainly be punished by the Sect Leader.

"Gao Fei! Just you wait, I'll get you sooner or later!" Jia Yunfeng spat out a vicious threat before turning and storming away with heavy steps.

"Don't bother to see yourself out." Tong Pojun's voice rang out from behind.

After Jia Yunfeng had left, Tong Pojun asked Gao Fei what had happened. Gao Fei didn't hide anything and gave a simple account of the events.

"This Jia Yunfeng..." Tong Pojun curled his lip in disdain, "The longer he lives, the more muddled he becomes!"

"Tong Steward, I really can't thank you enough for today. If you hadn't stepped in, I would have been in danger," Gao Fei sincerely thanked.

"No need to be polite, it was only right for me to protect you. Let's go, I'll take you to see the Sect Leader."

"It's getting late, the Sect Leader should be resting by now, shouldn't he? Let's go tomorrow instead?"

"No matter, the Sect Leader stays up quite late every day." Tong Pojun, pulling Gao Fei along, walked towards the outside, "The Sect Leader will definitely be pleased to see you."

...

In the Council Hall.

An elderly man with a head full of white hair was sitting in a chair, slowly reading a book in his hands.

This elder was none other than the Tianyang Sect's Sect Leader, Song Qingfeng, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, a prominent figure in the Cultivate Immortality World.

"Sect Leader." Tong Pojun entered excitedly, "I have some amazing news to tell you! You'll definitely be thrilled to hear it!"

"Oh?" Song Qingfeng lifted his head, "What kind of good news?"

"We have one more Elite Disciple," Tong Pojun announced.

"That's indeed good news," Song Qingfeng nodded in approval.

"This disciple's name is Gao Fei. He's been with us for just over two months..."

"Just over two months, huh? That's not a long time... Eh... What did you say? Just over two months?" Song Qingfeng snapped back to reality, his face filled with surprise as he looked at Tong Pojun, "Am I hearing you correctly?"

"You heard right; Gao Fei has indeed been an entry-level disciple for just over two months," Tong Pojun affirmed.

"Bang!"

Song Qingfeng threw the book onto the table, then stood up, his face brimming with shock and disbelief: "He cultivated to the Inedia Stage in just over two months? It's a miracle! A genius!"

"Exactly," Tong Pojun nodded, "Gao Fei is a genius among geniuses!"

"Where is he?"

"Right outside the door!"

"Bring him in at once!" Song Qingfeng said, unable to wait.

"Gao Fei! Come in!" Tong Pojun turned around, summoned his strength, and called out loudly.

There was a faint sound of footsteps from outside, and under the gaze of Song Qingfeng and Tong Pojun, Gao Fei stepped in with firm strides, sweeping his gaze around and inwardly exclaiming, What a magnificent hall! Is that old man across there the Sect Leader? His aura is truly unfathomable!

"Gao Fei, this is our Sect Leader," Tong Pojun introduced.

"Disciple Gao Fei, greeting the Sect Leader." Gao Fei bowed with his hands clasped in salute.

"Good, very good," Song Qingfeng looked at Gao Fei with eyes as if admiring a rare treasure, growing fonder the more he looked, "Your name is Gao Fei?"

"Yes."

"How old are you this year?"

"28 years old."

"Very young..." Song Qingfeng sighed, "To cultivate to the Inedia Stage in just over two months is truly incredible! I can only describe you as a genius! It's the Tianyang Sect's fortune to have you, and it will be up to you to bolster our sect in the future." Song Qingfeng held Gao Fei in high regard, or rather, his expectations for Gao Fei were very high.

"You flatter me, Sect Leader. My cultivation to the Inedia Stage was purely a stroke of luck..."

"Don't be modest," Song Qingfeng waved his hand, "According to the sect's rules, upon becoming an Elite Disciple, you get your own independent cave abode and access to greater cultivation resources. Hmm... Pojun, see to the arrangements for Gao Fei's cave abode and the distribution of cultivation resources. Make sure it's taken care of." His last sentence was directed at Tong Pojun.

Tong Pojun nodded, "Rest assured, Sect Leader, I will handle it."

"Gao Fei, do you have any other requests? Just mention them. As long as they're not too difficult, I'll see to them," Song Qingfeng said with a smile.

"Since the Sect Leader has offered, I won't hold back," Gao Fei pondered briefly, "Firstly, I'd like to visit the Scripture Pavilion to take a look. I've heard that it houses many Spell Manuals."

"Granted."

"Secondly, could you provide me with a few Treasures?"

"Your cultivation isn't sufficient right now. Even if I give you Treasures, you wouldn't be able to wield them. I'll give you a few Magic Artifacts for now, and once you reach the Golden Core Stage, I'll give you Treasures," Song Qingfeng replied.

"That will do," Gao Fei nodded.

"Any other requests?" Song Qingfeng asked.

"Oh, and one more thing, the last one."

"Go ahead."

"I hope the Sect Leader can ensure my safety."

"Huh?" Song Qingfeng was startled. "Safety? What do you mean? You're safe now, aren't you?"

Gao Fei shook his head. "I'm not safe at all; someone wants to kill me! Just now, if it weren't for Steward Tong's intervention, I would have been killed."

"Really?!" Song Qingfeng's expression darkened. "Who is it? Who wants to kill you!"

"It's the Pavilion Master of the Artifact Refining Pavilion, Jia Yunfeng," Gao Fei said.

"Jia Yunfeng?" Song Qingfeng frowned. "Why would he want to kill you?"

"It's a long story..." Gao Fei embellished his tale, recounting the events: "Sect Leader, you must ensure my safety. Jia Yunfeng has already said that even if I become an Elite Disciple, he will not let me go..."

"He dares!" Song Qingfeng exclaimed. "The nerve of him! Gao Fei, rest assured, with me here, no one can hurt you!"

"With the Sect Leader's word, I'm relieved," Gao Fei breathed a sigh of relief.

"Pojun, take Gao Fei to rest, and find him a nice place to stay," Song Qingfeng instructed.

"Yes." Tong Pojun complied, then led Gao Fei out of the Council Hall.

Song Qingfeng pondered for a moment, then looked up and called, "Someone, come!"

"Your disciple is here." A handsome-looking disciple entered. "What instructions does the Sect Leader have?"

"Go!" Song Qingfeng commanded. "Summon Jia Yunfeng here!"

"Yes." The disciple accepted the order and departed.

It wasn't long before Jia Yunfeng arrived. "Sect Leader, what do you need me for?" In fact, Jia Yunfeng had already guessed why Song Qingfeng wanted to see him; he was just feigning ignorance, playing dumb.

"The Tianyang Sect has gained another Elite Disciple," Song Qingfeng said evenly. "His name is Gao Fei, and he's been with us for just over two months. You're familiar with him, aren't you?"

"Not unfamiliar," Jia Yunfeng nodded.

"Listen carefully to me," Song Qingfeng spoke sternly. "I don't care what grievances you have with Gao Fei, but from today onwards, you are not to bother Gao Fei, not to intimidate him! Not to threaten him!"

"I can't do that," Jia Yunfeng huffed. "That bastard Gao Fei seduced my daughter and provoked me. I won't be able to ease my anger unless he's dead!"

"Scoundrel!" Song Qingfeng's eyes widened. "Gao Fei has a talent for cultivation; his significance to the Tianyang Sect is immense. You should be protecting him, not harming him!"

"Nonsense, him a genius?"

"He reached the Inedia Stage in just over two months! Isn't that the mark of a genius? How long did it take you to reach the Inedia Stage?"

"I..."

"Not just you! Even I can't compare to Gao Fei!"

"Sect Leader..."

"This isn't a discussion; it's an order! If you bother Gao Fei again, I'll cripple your cultivation and expel you from the Tianyang Sect! I'm not joking with you!"

"..." Jia Yunfeng's face turned red with anger.

"You can leave now," Song Qingfeng waved him away. "Focus all your thoughts on cultivation, and don't think about all this nonsense."

Jia Yunfeng turned and left, huffing angrily.

"Gao Fei, I'm filled with expectations for you, so don't disappoint me," Song Qingfeng muttered to himself.

...

Ever since becoming an Elite Disciple, Gao Fei's treatment had changed dramatically.

He not only had his own independent cave dwelling; the food, clothes, and drinks were dozens of times better than before. Most importantly, he no longer had to work! He had plenty of time to cultivate every day!

What excited Gao Fei the most was the monthly allowance of Spirit Stones. Spirit Stones were treasures that cultivators dreamed of!

Gao Fei made inquiries and learned that the Tianyang Sect had its own Spirit Stone mine. It wasn't very large, producing about ten thousand stones per year. Half was distributed to Elite Disciples and Elders, the other half went into the Sect's storage. Over the years, the number of Spirit Stones in the Tianyang Sect's treasury had reached a terrifying figure.

"Elysium is indeed a blessed land for cultivators," Gao Fei exclaimed. "Not only is the Spiritual Energy dense, but there are also Spirit Stones, Magic Artifacts can be found everywhere, and Spell Manuals are uncountable... What a place, truly a wonderful place."

There is one more thing worth mentioning about Jia Yunfeng.

After being warned by Sect Leader Song Qingfeng, Jia Yunfeng immediately toned it down a lot, no longer daring to trouble Gao Fei, at least outwardly.

Once, when Gao Fei was out for a walk, he ran into Jia Yunfeng returning from an errand. Gao Fei thought there would be trouble, but who knew... Jia Yunfeng simply walked past without turning his head, not bothering Gao Fei at all.

From then on, Gao Fei felt more at ease.

...

"Gao Fei! You're living large now!" Jia Xue folded her arms and walked around Gao Fei twice. "From a worm to a butterfly, you've struck it rich!"

"What are you saying!" Gao Fei didn't like what he heard. "Who's a worm? I am a dragon! A dragon that will soon soar above the clouds!"

"Keep boasting, boast all you like, since it's not illegal," Jia Xue said with disdain.

The two were like natural enemies, always bickering upon meeting.

"By the way, Jin Dalong hasn't been pestering you lately, has he?" Gao Fei casually asked.

"Pestering! He comes to suck up to me every day, but I've sent him packing," Jia Xue mentioned Jin Dalong with a bit of a headache. "That guy, Jin Dalong, has such thick skin! I've run out of ways to deal with him!"
