My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 291 - 290: Having This Great Honor

"I have been very restrained," Gao Fei said with a mournful face. "During this time, I've honestly stayed at Repentance Cliff cultivating, not causing any trouble or stirring up disputes, seriously, I've been extremely well-behaved..."

"Let me ask you something, you must answer me honestly,"

"What is it?"

"Do you like Jia Xue?"

"Uh..."

"If that's the case, I will help you propose marriage, to ensure that you lovers end up together," Song Qingfeng thought of using marriage to tie down Gao Fei, ensuring that he would stay in the Tianyang Sect forever.

"No, I don't like Jia Xue," Gao Fei hurriedly shook his head. "Jia Xue and I are just friends."

"Really don't like her?"

"Don't like!"

"Alright, I have thought too much!" Song Qingfeng nodded. "I'm leaving, I'll come to see you another day." After saying this, Song Qingfeng turned and left.

Just at this moment, the voice of Xuan Jizi came into his mind: "Jin Chaoyang has started to suspect you, your days ahead will be difficult."

"I'm not afraid of him," Gao Fei huffed.

"Enough, don't be so stubborn, be careful from now on," Xuan Jizi said.

...

Three days later.

Song Qingfeng convened all the elders to discuss matters.

"Beast King Valley has opened," Song Qingfeng said solemnly. "As per tradition, the Tianyang Sect will send a group of disciples into Beast King Valley for the trial."

Beast King Valley is a forbidden area, teeming with ferocious beasts such as lions, tigers, pythons, and other mutated species. Tens of thousands of years ago, Beast King Valley was powerful and commanded respect throughout the world, so much so that even the Human Emperor had to show deference.

Any power has its rise, and it has its fall!

Beast King Valley was not an exception!

The most glorious era of Beast King Valley was when it simultaneously had dozens of Transcendance Tribulation Stage Beast Kings; sadly... all these Beast Kings died under the Heavenly Tribulation! With the catastrophic loss of the Beast Kings, the power of Beast King Valley began to decline... year after year...

After the last Beast King died, other powers joined forces and attacked Beast King Valley. After a great battle, all ferocious beasts above the Golden Core Stage were eradicated, leaving only some minor creatures.

Beast King Valley was enclosed with formations, transforming it into a trial ground. Every ten years, various sects would send a batch of disciples into Beast King Valley for trials, where they would hunt the ferocious beasts within. The one who killed the most beasts would be the first, earning generous rewards.

It sounds brutal, treating the ferocious beasts as prey to be hunted at will!

Since ancient times, humans and ferocious beasts have been adversaries; it's either your death or mine. After prolonged warfare, humans have emerged victorious, reducing the beasts to sacrificial victims.

"Counting the days, it is indeed the time for Beast King Valley to open," the Great Elder Jin Chaoyang nodded.

"According to the rules agreed upon by the various sects, once Beast King Valley opens, only disciples of the Inedia Stage are allowed to enter," the Second Elder stated.

"What are the rewards for this year?" the Third Elder asked.

"Quite generous!" Song Qingfeng smiled slightly, "The first place in the trial will be awarded a Supreme Grade Magic Artifact and ten thousand Spirit Stones."

"Wow! The rewards are indeed very generous, even more so than in previous years!"

"The organizers have really spent a lot this time."

"The Tianyang Sect has a total of one hundred and eight Inedia Stage disciples, many of whom are prodigies with a great chance of claiming first place."

"The Beast King Valley trial has been held dozens of times, and the Tianyang Sect has never attained first place, which is a great regret."

"This time, we must seize first place no matter what! The disciples will get the generous rewards, and the sect will gain prestige! Two birds with one stone!"

The elders were all speaking one after another, the discussion was lively.

"There are only thirty spots, but there are over a hundred disciples in the Inedia Stage, how should we choose?" Song Qingfeng asked for everyone's opinion.

"That's simple, whoever is strongest gets to go."

"Or maybe we should draw lots? That would be fairer!"

"How about... a competition, with only the top thirty participating in the trial."

...

After much discussion, a decision was finally made.

Selection would be based on strength, with the top thirty participating in the Beast King Valley trial.

Going to Beast King Valley for the trial was risky, allowing the disciples with higher cultivation to participate could better ensure their safety.

"Gao Fei doesn't need to go," said Song Qingfeng.

"Why?" Jin Chaoyang frowned and asked, "Among the many disciples in the Inedia Stage, Gao Fei's strength is among the top five, he's fully qualified for the trial."

"You misunderstand me," Song Qingfeng waved his hand, "I'm not questioning Gao Fei's qualifications... I just don't want him to face danger."

"Sect Leader, isn't this a bit unfair?" Jin Chaoyang's expression darkened.

"Exactly, if you keep Gao Fei back, what will the other disciples think?" Jia Yunfeng chimed in, "You're the Sect Leader, you need to be impartial."

"Gao Fei is a once-in-a-millennium cultivation genius, his future achievements will surely far surpass ours, and the prosperity of Tianyang Sect will depend on him!" Song Qingfeng spoke unhurriedly, "Before Gao Fei has fully matured, I must ensure his safety."

"Sect Leader, have you ever heard the saying, 'Flowers grown in a greenhouse won't last long?'" Jin Chaoyang remarked, "On the surface, you seem to be helping Gao Fei, but in fact, you're harming him! Without experiencing storms, how can one see a rainbow?"

"Elder Jin is right! If Gao Fei wants to achieve something, he needs to go out and gain experience, he can't hide in Tianyang Sect like a flower in a greenhouse," Jia Yunfeng agreed.

"What he said makes sense, flowers from a greenhouse don't live long," the other elders nodded in agreement.

"Not allowing Gao Fei to participate in the Beast King Valley trial turns him into a greenhouse flower? What kind of logic is that? It makes no sense at all!" Song Qingfeng frowned, he hadn't expected all the elders to object.

"The Beast King Valley trial happens once every ten years, missing this chance would mean it's hard to find such a good opportunity again."

"Sect Leader, we all understand that you want to protect Gao Fei, but you can't be too... you know... what will the other disciples think? They definitely won't accept it!"

"If you unevenly distribute the water, it will spill out."

"I suggest letting Gao Fei take part in the Beast King Valley trial."

"I agree."

"I agree too!"

"I wholeheartedly agree!"

"I agree with both hands and feet!"

...

The elders said in unison.

Song Qingfeng's expression grew uglier by the second!

"Sect Leader! How about we call Gao Fei over and ask for his opinion?" one of the elders suggested.

"Hmm... that's a good suggestion." Song Qingfeng nodded slightly, "We should indeed consult with Gao Fei himself, someone go and call for Gao Fei." The last sentence was directed to a gatekeeper disciple.

The gatekeeper disciple responded and then hastened away.

The Sect Leader asking for a disciple's opinion? Among the many disciples, only Gao Fei had this honor.
