My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 298 - 297 The True Face

"You all needn't bother persuading me anymore, I've made up my mind, I won't leave until I've secured first place," Miao Zheng said with determination.

The remaining disciples looked at each other, feeling very hesitant in their hearts, not knowing what to choose.

"If you're afraid of dying, then leave," Miao Zheng said, "With the inner cores you have in your hands, you should be able to get a good ranking as well."

"I... I'm leaving..." one disciple said, "I've had enough... I really don't want to stay any longer..."

"I'm also leaving..." another disciple said.

In a matter of moments, the disciples had made their decisions, six chose to withdraw, and four chose to stay.

"After you leave, don't wander around, just wait safely for us to come out," Miao Zheng instructed before leading the four disciples deeper into Beast King Valley.

The disciples from the other sects also made their decisions, some stayed, and some left.

The disciples who chose to stay moved in groups, heading deeper into Beast King Valley.

...

"Up to now, we haven't seen Senior Brother Gao Fei, I'm guessing his chances are slim..." a disciple sighed, Gao Fei was a cultivation genius, it would be a pity if he died just like that.

"Who asked him to act alone? If he had followed Senior Brother Miao, he definitely wouldn't have died," another disciple snorted.

"Enough, say no more," Miao Zheng waved his hand, "The person is already dead, there's no need to discuss it."

"Eh? Who is that? Why does he look... so much like Senior Brother Gao Fei?"

"It's not just a resemblance, it's actually him!"

"Damn! Senior Brother Gao Fei isn't dead? He really has a big life!"

...

Straight ahead, dozens of meters away, a person was dissecting ferocious beast corpses, slicing open the stomachs and extracting inner cores, his movements extremely skillful. This person was Gao Fei.

Miao Zheng was stunned, mentally cursing a few times, what the hell! Gao Fei was actually still alive?

"Senior Brother Gao Fei!" someone called out loudly.

Hearing the shout, Gao Fei turned his head around, a look of surprise on his face; he probably didn't expect to run into everyone either.

Miao Zheng led the others over, looking sullenly at Gao Fei, "Seeing you alive is quite a surprise to me."

"I'm also surprised, I thought you were dead," Gao Fei shrugged his shoulders and quirked his lips.

"You're hiding here alone getting inner cores?" Miao Zheng glanced around and saw many ferocious beast corpses with their bellies sliced open and the inner cores all gone, no need to ask, for sure it was Gao Fei's doing.

"Hiding? That's not the right word!" Gao Fei shook his head, "I am taking inner cores in an open and honorable way!"

"How many inner cores have you got so far?" Miao Zheng asked.

"Hmm, why do you ask?"

"Just curious."

"Sorry, that's my secret, I can't tell you for the time being."

After a couple of sentences, their conversation broke down.

"I won't waste time talking with you, I'm off to get inner cores," Gao Fei said and turned to walk away.

Miao Zheng wouldn't be outdone, he carried his weapon and headed towards an area with more ferocious beast corpses.

The other disciples also began to take action.

...

At this time, the disciples from the other sects also hurried over, wielding swords and started to extract inner cores.

"I won't compete with you, I'll go somewhere else," Gao Fei said, stepping lightly as he left.

Miao Zheng stood up and glanced in the direction where Gao Fei had left, hesitated for a moment, then lifted his foot and chased after him.

"Brother Miao, where are you going?" a disciple asked.

"I'm going to check out other places," Miao Zheng casually replied.

"Let me go with you..."

"No need, you stay here and collect the inner cores; I'll be back soon," Miao Zheng said without turning back and walked away.

...

As Gao Fei walked on, he muttered to himself, "With the inner cores in my hand, I should be able to take first place, right?"

"Why did those ferocious beasts retreat?"

"They won't come back, right?"

"Speed up, finish up and get out of here quickly!"

All along his way, Gao Fei saw many ferocious beast corpses, he walked up to them, sliced open their bellies, and took out the inner cores, leaving no corpse untouched.

The inner cores varied in size and color, but the one thing they had in common was that they all harbored spiritual energy.

"Huh?" Gao Fei, who was walking, suddenly stopped in his tracks and slowly turned around, "Come out! I've already noticed you!"

"What a strong feeling." A man came out from behind a large rock, and upon a closer look, it was actually Miao Zheng, "I thought I was very cautious; how did you still manage to discover me?"

"Your skill at concealment is indeed not bad, I didn't notice at first, but later... I felt a surge of murderous intent..." said Gao Fei, expressionless.

"Murderous intent?" Miao Zheng was stunned, then cracked a smile, "So that's it!"

"What are you following me for?"

"What do you think?"

"I'm not a worm in your stomach, how would I know what you're thinking?"

"Gao Fei, to speak from the heart, I envy you, I'm jealous of you," Miao Zheng said indifferently, "You have a high talent for cultivation, in just a few months, you've caught up with me, and I estimate in a few more months, I'll have to look up to you...

The Sect Leader values you, indulges you, even if you cause trouble, the Sect Leader is unwilling to punish you, if it were any other disciple who made a mistake, they would definitely face severe punishment..."

"Did you come after me just to say these things?" Gao Fei frowned.

"Hand over the inner cores you have, and I can leave you an intact corpse."

Gao Fei's eyes narrowed, "You want to kill me?"

Miao Zheng nodded, "Yes! I've wanted to kill you for quite some time now, only I haven't found the opportunity."

At this point, Miao Zheng paused, "I originally thought you would die in the beast tide just now, but who knew you were lucky enough to survive, no other way, I had to do it myself."

"Just because you're jealous of me? Envy me? That's why you want to kill me?" Gao Fei asked calmly.

"That's one of the reasons," Miao Zheng stated, "Anyway, you're going to die, so I might as well tell you the whole truth, someone offered me a reward to kill you."

"Who is it?"

"One is Jin Chaoyang, the other is Jia Yunfeng."

"It's them, huh."

"Alright, now that I've told you the truth, you can go die," Miao Zheng said as he slowly raised his weapon, an intense murderous aura emanating from him.

Gao Fei, completely unruffled, said, "You just said it yourself, the Sect Leader values me highly, do you think he would spare you if you killed me?"

"The Sect Leader isn't an Immortal; how would he know I killed you?" Miao Zheng scoffed, "Later, I'll blame it on the ferocious beasts, saying it was they who killed you."

"Miao Zheng, you're wrong, terribly wrong."

"Where am I wrong?"

"You shouldn't have provoked me! You could have lived a while longer, but now..."

"Such arrogance!" Miao Zheng leaped forward, gripping the weapon in both hands, and smashed it down at Gao Fei's head, "Go to hell!"
