My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 293 - 292 Incompetent

"Miao Zheng, I won't beat around the bush with you," Jia Yunfeng said directly, "I've come today to propose a deal to you."

"A deal?" Miao Zheng was startled, "What deal?"

"Help me kill Gao Fei."

"What?"

"This is your payment." Jia Yunfeng took out a short sword from his bosom and gently placed it on the table.

"A Treasure!" Miao Zheng's eyebrows shot up.

Jia Yunfeng nodded, "This short sword was refined by me personally. It's very sharp and can double your combat power. Help me kill Gao Fei, and the short sword is yours."

"This..." Miao Zheng forced a smile, "Gao Fei is the apple of the Sect Leader's eye. If I kill him, the Sect Leader definitely won't let me off the hook."

"Another five thousand Spirit Stones," Jia Yunfeng extended his hand, waving it in front of Miao Zheng.

"...Alright," Miao Zheng gritted his teeth, "I agree..."

"I'll be waiting for the good news," Jia Yunfeng stood up and left with a smile.

"Hehe... today is really a good day!" Miao Zheng closed the door and broke into a broad grin, "To receive two benefits at once... two Treasures and fifteen thousand Spirit Stones... I'm rich, truly rich!" As he spoke, Miao Zheng sneered, "Jin Chaoyang is more generous, indeed. A Middle Rank Treasure and ten thousand Spirit Stones right away, much better than Jia Yunfeng."

...

Several days later.

Thirty Elite Disciples at the Inedia Stage left the Tianyang Sect, heading northwest.

Sect Leader Song Qingfeng personally saw them off.

"Let's go back," Song Qingfeng waved to the Elders, "Elder Jin, Pavilion Master Jia, come with me." As he spoke, Song Qingfeng strode toward the Council Hall.

Jin Chaoyang and Jia Yunfeng hurriedly followed.

Moments later, the three arrived at the Council Hall.

"Sect Leader, you summoned us... for what matter?" Jin Chaoyang asked.

"In the Scripture Pavilion, I found a book personally written by the Ancestral Master," Song Qingfeng said slowly, "Its contents are profound. I only read a few pages and already benefited greatly. I called you here to share this book with you."

"A book handwritten by the Ancestral Master?" Jin Chaoyang was taken aback, "About what?"

Jia Yunfeng showed equal curiosity.

"The contents are varied, touching on many aspects. It's not something I can explain in just a word or two," Song Qingfeng said, "Starting today, stay here and study the Ancestral Master's book with me."

"Oh..." Jin Chaoyang and Jia Yunfeng exchanged glances, then nodded together, "We will comply with all that the Sect Leader commands."

"Good, let's start now." Song Qingfeng waved his hand and an old, yellowed book appeared on the table.

In the time that followed, the three sat together, studying the book written by the Ancestral Master.

The book was thick and rich in content. Song Qingfeng deliberately controlled the reading pace, and in one day, they had only read a dozen pages. At this rate, it would take at least half a month to finish the book.

Jin Chaoyang and Jia Yunfeng were no fools; they could guess Song Qingfeng's intentions without even thinking... Song Qingfeng purposely used a book to detain the two of them, preventing them from going after Gao Fei. It had to be said that Song Qingfeng was indeed working hard.

From this point, it was evident that Song Qingfeng's regard for Gao Fei had reached an unparalleled level.

Jin Chaoyang and Jia Yunfeng were not in the least bit anxious, for they were already prepared. Even if Song Qingfeng used strategies to tie them up, Gao Fei would still be doomed!

They were also willing to drag this out with Song Qingfeng here, as once Gao Fei was dead, the two of them could clear themselves of suspicion.

...

Under the azure sky,

a flying ship rapidly sailed through the air, its prow bearing a flag with the words "Tianyang Sect."

Inside the cabin sat a group of people, all Elite Disciples from the Tianyang Sect.

"I am the team leader! You all must listen to me!" Miao Zheng said slowly, "Without my consent, none of you may act on your own. Do you hear me?"

"We hear you."

"Louder!"

"We hear you!!!"

"Gao Fei, what's with that expression?" Miao Zheng glared at Gao Fei, "If you have a problem with me, say it to my face! Don't go making sneaky moves behind my back!"

Gao Fei shrugged and curled his lips, "I don't have a problem with you."

"No problem? Then why are you pouting? And looking at me with such disdain!" Miao Zheng barked.

Gao Fei laughed out of frustration, "Indeed, I was pouting just now, because my tooth hurts! As for looking at you with disdain... that's completely nonsensical! I was not even looking at you a moment ago!"

"You dare to argue back!"

"I'm telling the truth!"

"Bang!"

Miao Zheng slapped the table and stood up, pointing at Gao Fei, "Looking for unease, are we!"

Gao Fei stood up as well, his face expressionless as he confronted Miao Zheng, "What are you yelling at me for? What's so great about being a mere team leader? You really think too highly of yourself!" Gao Fei was not the type of person to take things lying down. If Miao Zheng picked a fight with him, he would certainly not hold back.

"Alright, alright, both of you say a little less,"

"We are all fellow disciples of the same Sect. It's not worth quarreling over a trivial matter."

"When you're out and about, everyone should help each other out, not create internal strife,"

The other disciples stood up to mediate, for better or worse, they finally calmed Miao Zheng and Gao Fei down.

"Hmph!" Miao Zheng glared fiercely at Gao Fei and then sat down huffily. He had intended to show Gao Fei who was boss, let him know his prowess. But Gao Fei was so defiant, arguing directly with him, and they almost came to blows.

"Hmph!" Gao Fei turned his head away, looking unwilling to bother with Miao Zheng.

The other disciples had bitter smiles on their faces. They hadn't even reached Beast King Valley yet, and Miao Zheng had already quarreled with Gao Fei, which was not a good sign.

Clenching his fist, Miao Zheng cursed inwardly: Let you strut around for a few more days, wait until we get to Beast King Valley, and see how I deal with you.

...

Gao Fei felt somewhat frustrated; he didn't understand why Miao Zheng was targeting him. He didn't seem to have offended Miao Zheng, did he? After thinking it over for a long time and not finding any reason, he decided not to dwell on it. Whatever happens happens, a mere Miao Zheng couldn't threaten him.

During the journey that followed, both Miao Zheng and Gao Fei kept quiet, with no further disputes, much to the relief of the other disciples.

Several days later, the flying ship slowly descended to the ground.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh..."

Thirty disciples disembarked from the flying ship and started to survey their surroundings.

"Is this Beast King Valley? It doesn't seem like it."

"Isn't it said that Beast King Valley is a valley? There's no valley here?"

"I'm a bit confused."

...

"Everyone, follow me," Miao Zheng stepped forward.

The other disciples hurriedly followed him.

After leading the disciples around a few bends, Miao Zheng pointed ahead: "There, that's Beast King Valley."

Everyone looked up to see a valley a few dozen meters away. There was a clearing in front of the valley, which was now crowded with people. Undoubtedly, these were disciples from other Sects. They hadn't expected them to arrive so early.

"From now on, follow me closely. Don't wander off and don't cause any trouble. Understood?" Miao Zheng instructed.

"Understood," the disciples nodded and responded.

"Alright, everyone sit down and rest." Miao Zheng took out a piece of tarp from his sleeve, spread it on the ground, and sat down, bending over. The tarp was small, just enough for Miao Zheng to sit on.

"So stingy and selfish." Gao Fei sneered, "A person like you can actually be the leader."

"What did you say!" Miao Zheng, with his sharp ears, heard Gao Fei's remark. He looked up, glaring angrily at Gao Fei.

"I said you're stingy and selfish!"

"You need evidence to back up what you say! Where am I stingy? Where am I selfish?"

Gao Fei pointed at the tarp beneath Miao Zheng's rear: "You know the ground is dirty, so you put down a tarp before sitting. We also dislike dirt, so why didn't you offer tarp for us as well?"

"I only have one piece of tarp on me!"

"Couldn't you have brought a few more tarps before you left?"

"I..."

"How much could a piece of tarp cost? You're not willing to part with a few pieces of tarp: if that's not stingy, then what is?"

"You..."

"So many people standing, and you're the only one sitting. Aren't you being a bit too selfish?"

"Gao Fei! Have you said enough?"

"No!" Gao Fei snorted, "You're the leader! You have a responsibility to take care of everyone!" Pausing for a moment, he continued, "All along the way, you've only taken care of yourself, eating and drinking well, without a thought for everyone else. You're doing a poor job as the leader. When we get back to Tianyang Sect, I will definitely complain to the Sect Leader!"

...

In terms of arguing, ten Miao Zhengs couldn't compete with Gao Fei.

With just a few words, Miao Zheng was choked up and unable to respond. He clearly knew that Gao Fei was just causing trouble, but he had no comeback.

"Come, come, come, I'll provide some clothes for everyone." Gao Fei took out a bunch of clothes from his storage ring, laid them on the ground, and invited the disciples to sit: "Feel free to sit anywhere. A few pieces of clothes aren't a big deal. I'm not like certain people, overly cautious."

Miao Zheng was so angry he felt like he could vomit blood, what the hell, motherfucker, I will kill you one of these days!

After being messed with by Gao Fei, Miao Zheng's authority plummeted to rock bottom, and the other disciples started looking at him in a different light.

Gao Fei's words were harsh, but on closer thought, they did make some sense. Miao Zheng really wasn't fit to be a leader.

Miao Zheng glared at Gao Fei with such intensity that if looks could kill, Gao Fei would have died countless times already.

After mocking Miao Zheng for a while, Gao Fei turned away, to chat and laugh with the other disciples, paying no further attention to Miao Zheng, as if he was invisible.

...

The number of people continued to grow, and by nightfall, there were already over a thousand people on the clearing.

With over a thousand people gathered together, chatting and laughing, the atmosphere was lively.

Gao Fei marveled inwardly at the number of people. So many had come, and their Cultivation was not low. Competing for first place among so many was going to be quite difficult.

The so-called trial was to hunt down Ferocious Beasts, kill them, gut them, and extract their inner cores. Whoever obtained the most inner cores would be the first place winner!
