My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 272 - 271: I've Got Your Back

"Let me out! Let me out!!!" Jia Xue pounded on the door with all her might, "What right do you have to restrict my freedom! Open the door for me, open it! Don't leave, come back! Come back to me!!!"

Both the door and the windows had been sealed with a Restriction Spell by Jia Yunfeng, and no matter how much Jia Xue struggled, she couldn't get out.

Jia Yunfeng was a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, whereas Jia Xue was merely at the Qi Gathering Stage Second Layer; the gap between them was simply too vast.

"Even if you shout yourself hoarse, I won't let you out," Jia Yunfeng huffed, "Since I can't control Gao Fei, I will control you! You're my daughter, and I'll discipline you as I see fit. Even the Sect Leader has no right to interfere."

And just like that, Jia Xue was grounded, no longer able to go find Gao Fei for their "idle chats".

...

For several days, Gao Fei hadn't seen Jia Xue, and he began to wonder, "Why hasn't this crazy girl come to see me? When I don't want to see her, she's around every day, but now that I do, she's nowhere to be found?"

Gao Fei had gotten used to bickering with Jia Xue every day, and now that she wasn't coming by, he found it a little unsettling.

"Gao Fei, I have some good news for you," Xuan Jizi's voice rang in his mind.

"What good news?" asked Gao Fei.

"I've figured out the operating patterns of the Mini Thunder Sound Temple and the Demon Sky Tower... in other words, I've uncovered their secrets."

"Really?" Gao Fei perked up instantly.

"When have I ever lied to you?" Xuan Jizi said with a laugh.

"Awesome! Incredible!" Gao Fei exclaimed, "I knew you could do it! Tell me, what are the secrets of the Mini Thunder Sound Temple and the Demon Sky Tower? What secrets are they hiding?"

"Er... I'll need a few more days..."

"A few more days? What do you mean?"

"I've only preliminarily figured out the operating patterns of the Mini Thunder Sound Temple and the Demon Sky Tower. To fully understand them... I'll need a few more days."

"Damn it!" Gao Fei cursed, "So after all this time, you've only halfway figured it out?"

"Don't rush me, just give me a few more days, and I'll have it all worked out," Xuan Jizi said confidently.

"A few days?"

"Er... It might be three days, maybe five, or perhaps ten..."

"How many days exactly?"

"I can't say for sure."

"Alright, go do your research, and let me know when you've figured it out thoroughly," Gao Fei said, pouting, "You got my hopes up for nothing."

Initially, when Gao Fei went to Miaojiang to search for the Antidote to cure the Gu insects, he stumbled upon the Demon Clan's Holy Land and there acquired two treasures. One was a shimmering golden temple with a plaque hanging on it that read "Mini Thunder Sound Temple", and the other a stone tower surrounded by black mist, also inscribed with the words "Demon Sky Tower".

One was a treasure of the Buddhist Sect, and the other belonged to the Demon Clan.

Gao Fei had spent a long time investigating, unable to uncover the secrets of the Mini Thunder Sound Temple and the Demon Sky Tower. Eventually growing frustrated, he delegated this task to Xuan Jizi to investigate. Time flew by, and at last, Xuan Jizi had made some headway.

...

"I should go check on Zhu Xiaoliang; it's been a while since I've seen him."

Gao Fei closed the door, put his hands behind his back, and sauntered towards the storeroom.

Zhu Xiaoliang was Gao Fei's only friend in this world, a friendship he valued deeply. Even though Gao Fei had become an Elite Disciple, he had not forgotten about Zhu Xiaoliang.

Shortly, Gao Fei reached the storeroom, and that's when he heard a commotion.

"Zhu Xiaoliang, are you blind? How dare you bump into me!" an angry roar.

"I'm so sorry, really sorry! I was deep in thought and didn't see you..." Zhu Xiaoliang hastily apologized.

"You think a simple sorry will do?" the other party was relentless.

"Then what do you want?"

"Kneel down, knock your head on the ground, and admit your wrongs!"

"...That's too much!" Zhu Xiaoliang, holding back his anger, said, "I just accidentally bumped into you and you want me to kneel? Knock my head to the ground? Aren't you bullying me too much?"

"I am bullying you! What are you going to do about it!"

"You..."

"What 'you'! You dare to glare at me? Believe it or not, I'll smack you with a big slap across your face!"

...

Gao Fei couldn't bear to listen any longer. He pushed the door open and walked in, "Who is bullying my friend? You got a death wish or something?"

"Gao Fei!?" Zhu Xiaoliang's eyes shone with surprise.

"Don't worry, with me here, no one will dare to bully you," Gao Fei took his place beside Zhu Xiaoliang, then glared at the other two disciples, "Was it you who bullied my friend?"

"Gao Fei!" The two disciples blanched, taking a step back; they had recognized Gao Fei, as he had previously spent some time in the storeroom.

"You've got some nerve, bullying my friend!" Gao Fei took a step forward, "Seems like you're sick of living!"

The two disciples retreated another step, their voices trembling, "It was Zhu Xiaoliang who provoked us first..."

"I just accidentally bumped into you guys, and you've been unrelenting, cursing me, even demanding I kneel and knock my head to the ground!" Zhu Xiaoliang said indignantly, "You're truly too bullying!" With Gao Fei backing him up, Zhu Xiaoliang's courage surged, and he was no longer afraid.

"Kneel down! Knock your heads to the ground!" Gao Fei barked.

"Huh?" Zhu Xiaoliang was momentarily stunned, staring dumbly at Gao Fei, "What did you say? You want me to kneel? Knock my head to the ground?"

The two disciples who had bullied Zhu Xiaoliang were also stunned, watching Gao Fei in disbelief.

"Not you, it's the two of them," Gao Fei waved his hand, "I told them to kneel, to kowtow and apologize to you!"

"It's not me..." Zhu Xiaoliang patted his chest, "I was really scared to death just now, I thought you were going to..."

The two disciples who bullied Zhu Xiaoliang suddenly widened their eyes. What? Kneel down to us? And kowtow too? For God's sake, is there any way to bully people like this? They had already forgotten how they had just bullied Zhu Xiaoliang...

"I told you to kneel and kowtow, didn't you hear me!" Gao Fei said sharply, "I will count to three, and if you don't kneel and kowtow by then, I'll take matters into my own hands!"

"One!"

The two disciples didn't move.

"Two!"

The two disciples still didn't move.

"Three..."

When Gao Fei shouted "three," the two disciples moved. They turned around and started running with a lift of their feet.

"Trying to run?" Gao Fei quickly caught up, slapped them hard, and the disciples were sprawling on the ground, Snaggletooth grimacing and groaning, "Daring to run in front of me! How overconfident! Zhu Xiaoliang! Come here, I'll give you a chance to vent."

"Ah?"

"What are you 'ahhing' about! Don't you want to get even?"

"But..."

"I'm backing you up, you have nothing to be afraid of!"

…

Encouraged by Gao Fei, Zhu Xiaoliang came over, lifted his foot, and brutally kicked the two disciples, cursing as he kicked, "Bastards! How dare you bully me! I'll kick you to death!!!" Since joining the Tianyang Sect, Zhu Xiaoliang had always been bullied. In the past, Gao Fei was there to protect him sometimes, but after Gao Fei left the storeroom, Zhu Xiaoliang's life became miserable.

Anyone would take a turn to bully him.

Over time, Zhu Xiaoliang had accumulated a lot of resentment, and today he let it all out in one go.

Even a meek person, when pushed too far, will bite!

"Bang!"

"Bastard!"

"Bang Bang!"

"You two bastards!"

"Bang Bang Bang!"

"Let's see if you dare to bully me again!"

…

"We won't dare anymore, we'll never dare to bully you again!"

The two disciples started to beg for mercy, "Stop hitting us, please, please stop!"

"Kneel! Kowtow! Apologize! Admit your fault!" Zhu Xiaoliang shouted loudly.

"...Fine, we'll kneel..." The two disciples, terrified by the beating, shakily got up, knelt down, kowtowed, admitted their faults, and apologized.

"Get lost!" Zhu Xiaoliang's vanity was greatly satisfied, "Don't come looking for trouble with me ever again!"

"Yes, yes." The two disciples got up from the ground and left, supporting each other.

"Today really felt good!" Zhu Xiaoliang let out a sigh of relief, "Gao Fei, thank you! I really thank you! If it weren't for you showing up in time today, they definitely would have bullied me badly!"

"Do they often bully you?" Gao Fei asked.

"You know, I always appear very honest," Zhu Xiaoliang shrugged, "Nowadays, if a person is too honest, they'll be bullied."

"This bunch of bastards." Gao Fei cursed, "Zhu Xiaoliang, don't worry, from today onwards, no one will dare to bully you again!"

"With you backing me up, who would dare to bully me? Unless they're tired of living," Zhu Xiaoliang laughed.

"Zhu Xiaoliang, why haven't you come to look for me during this time?" Gao Fei asked.

"Now you're a person of different status, an Elite Disciple high above, while I'm just a common disciple who cleans, the difference between us is like heaven and earth..."

Gao Fei interrupted Zhu Xiaoliang with an outstretched hand, "You're my friend, always have been, and even if I become the Sect Leader, you're still my friend! A good friend!"

"I'm really happy to hear you say that," Zhu Xiaoliang smiled broadly, "You're still Gao Fei, you haven't changed, it was just me worrying too much."

"I'll never change," Gao Fei said.

Just then, someone walked in from outside, the steward of the storeroom, Wu Dongzhu, "Gao Fei, bullying two common disciples, don't you think that's a bit much?" Wu Dongzhu entered with an accusatory tone.

"The two of them bullied Zhu Xiaoliang, I couldn't stand by and do nothing, so I taught them a lesson," Gao Fei said indifferently, "What? Did they go to you to complain?"

"Gao Fei, you're no longer part of the storeroom, you have no right to interfere in the storeroom's affairs."

"Zhu Xiaoliang is my friend, if someone bullies him, I certainly can't ignore it!"

"You could have come to me, I could make decisions for Zhu Xiaoliang!"

"Oh, give me a break!" Gao Fei sneered, "Zhu Xiaoliang has been bullied more than once or twice, why haven't I seen you intervene?"

"You…"

"What about 'you'? Am I wrong? As the steward of the storeroom, it's your duty and obligation to protect all of the disciples, but instead, you spend all day indulging in pleasures, completely ignoring the life and death of your disciples.

Someone like you who can't tell right from wrong and indulges in laziness should be kicked out of Tianyang Sect!" Gao Fei's words were too harsh, infuriating Wu Dongzhu nearly to the point of suffocation.
