My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 289 - 288: Argument and Fallout

Dongfang Jian stood in the square, looking around with a trace of amazement on his face, "Magnificent and beautiful beyond measure! Truly worthy of being the foremost great family in the world!"

"Starting from today, you are a member of the Niu Family," Niu Kun said with a smile, patting Dongfang Jian's shoulder. "Work hard and don't disappoint me."

"Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill what I've promised you," Dongfang Jian assured, patting his chest.

"To avoid arousing my cousin's suspicion, we should contact each other as little as possible in the future," Niu Kun said.

"Understood," Dongfang Jian nodded.

"Alright, I'm off," Niu Kun waved his hand and turned to leave with big strides.

"The stage is set for me, and now it's time for my performance," Dongfang Jian's lips slowly curled into a smile. "I believe that in a few years, I will make a name for myself and become one of the top figures in the world!"

Gao Fei was striving, and so was Dongfang Jian. Sooner or later, they were bound to meet, and at that time, who would win and who would lose would depend on their respective capabilities.

...

Gao Fei had no idea that Dongfang Jian had already come to Elysium, let alone that Dongfang Jian had joined the foremost family under heaven. He was now devoting all his energy to cultivation, cultivating during the day and studying the Immortal Buddha Finger and Heavenly Demon Ten Transformations at night to the point of neglecting sleep and food.

Effort pays off!

After days of diligent cultivation, Gao Fei's cultivation had advanced to the Eighth Layer of the Inedia Stage, and he had made significant progress with the Immortal Buddha Finger and Heavenly Demon Ten Transformations.

"Sigh..." Gao Fei sighed lightly. "Even with my improved cultivation, I still can't open the wooden door of the Little Thunder Temple or the Stone Gate of the Demon Sky Tower..."

"Don't rush, take it slow," Xuan Jizi consoled. "The Little Thunder Temple and the Demon Sky Tower aren't going anywhere, what's the hurry?"

"How can I not be anxious?" Gao Fei retorted, curling his lip. "With so many enemies around, if I don't hurry to enhance my strength, they'll sooner or later kill me."

"You brought this on yourself," Xuan Jizi snorted. "Who told you to cause trouble! Now you're worried? What were you doing earlier?"

"Can't you stop with the sarcastic remarks?" Gao Fei was not in the mood to listen.

"I've said them, what are you going to do about it!"

"Do you still want to practice the Immortal Buddha Finger and Heavenly Demon Ten Transformations?"

"...It was my fault for talking nonsense. I apologize to you..."

"Just this once, it won't happen again! If you dare to make sarcastic remarks in the future, I'll retract my offer. You can forget about practicing the Immortal Buddha Finger and Heavenly Demon Ten Transformations for the rest of your life!"

"...Alright, you have me scared. You win," Xuan Jizi relented.

Almost every time they argued, Gao Fei would win.

"Enough, I won't argue with you anymore, I'm going to practice," Gao Fei said, calming his emotions before closing his eyes to begin cultivating.

...

"Who is it! Who is impersonating me?!!" Jin Chaoyang roared out loud. "Show yourself if you're brave enough! Hiding like this, what kind of ability is that!"

After searching for several days and not finding the person who duped him out of the Comprehension Pill, Jin Chaoyang was driven to rage and madness!

"I do have an idea!" the manager of the Elixir Room, Zhao Guang, spoke solemnly. The Comprehension Pill had disappeared on his watch, and he was also fuming inside.

"What's your idea?" Jin Chaoyang asked, huffing and puffing.

"Search!" Zhao Guang squeezed the word through his clenched teeth. "Close the Sect's gate, gather all the disciples, and then search them! Including their living quarters! Once the Comprehension Pill is found, we'll know who did it!"

"Right, that's a good plan!" Jin Chaoyang nodded. "We should search not only the disciples but also those elders! No one will escape!"

"I'm worried... the Sect Leader might not agree..." Zhao Guang said gravely.

"He must agree!" Jin Chaoyang snorted. "I'll go to him right now!" With that, Jin Chaoyang hastily left.

"This is our last resort," Zhao Guang sighed. "If this doesn't work... then we're out of options..."

...

Council Hall.

No sooner had Jin Chaoyang finished speaking than Sect Leader Song Qingfeng furrowed his brows, "No! Absolutely not! I disagree!"

"Why don't you agree?" Jin Chaoyang demanded.

"Gathering the disciples to search them is disrespectful to them!"

"What about my Comprehension Pill?"

"Find another way…"

"If there were another way, I wouldn't have come to you!"

"I know you're anxious! Truth be told, I'm anxious too! I also hope you can advance to the Nascent Soul Stage and help me shoulder some of the burdens..."

"Enough with the pleasantries," Jin Chaoyang waved his hand dismissively, "I know exactly what you're thinking, you don't want to see me advance to the Nascent Soul Stage at all."

Song Qingfeng's face darkened, "That's utter nonsense!"

"Logically, I shouldn't say these things, but I can't help it!" Jin Chaoyang was all in, "Over the years, Tianyang Sect has been yours to command, your word is law! Nobody dares to question you, challenge you, let alone provoke you!" Pausing, Jin Chaoyang continued, "If I advance to the Nascent Soul Stage, I'll be on an even footing with you.

Your prestige would be undermined, and your power would diminish..."

"You're right!" Song Qingfeng nodded, "You're telling it like it is! Once, I was conflicted and even thought of stopping you, of keeping you from succeeding, but later... I realized, I couldn't be so selfish, I had to think of Tianyang Sect. Your advancement to the Nascent Soul Stage would greatly benefit Tianyang Sect. For the future of Tianyang Sect, I can accept some personal sacrifices."

"You talk a good talk," Jin Chaoyang didn't buy it.

"I'm speaking the truth," Song Qingfeng said gravely, "Believe it or not!"

"I'm asking you one last time, do you agree or not..."

"I don't agree! Everything else is negotiable, but this matter is not up for discussion!"

"You..."

"If there's nothing else, you may go back," Song Qingfeng gestured dismissively.

Jin Chaoyang clenched his fists, his face darkened with fury, and he gave Song Qingfeng a deep look before leaving without looking back.

"Things are getting out of hand!" Song Qingfeng huffed indignantly.

...

After leaving the Council Hall, Jin Chaoyang began to curse vehemently, "You old fool! I am utterly at odds with you! Just wait, I'll kill you sooner or later!!!"

And so, Jin Chaoyang, cursing and fuming, returned to his quarters.

"How did it go?" Zhao Guang, the manager of the Elixir Room, asked anxiously, "Did you sort it out?"

"Damn!" Jin Chaoyang cursed, "Song Qingfeng adamantly refused! I nearly came to blows with him!"

"I knew it would be like this," Zhao Guang sighed.

"It's infuriating! Truly infuriating!" Jin Chaoyang swore through gritted teeth.

"Old Jin... just accept it... the Comprehension Pill is gone..."

"Nonsense! I will find that Comprehension Pill!"

"Where? What if someone has already consumed it?"

"Shut your mouth!"

"Why are you yelling at me!!"

"It's all because of you! Your stupidity allowed someone to trick you out of the Comprehension Pill! You are the 'A' grade Number One fool!" Jin Chaoyang scolded.

"You're the fool! I toiled to refine the Comprehension Pill for you, you don't appreciate it, and you even curse me? Do you have no conscience at all!" Zhao Guang quivered with anger.
