My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 305 - 304 Abandoned

Two days later.

Sect Leader Hu Shuisheng of the Sunset Sect arrived at the Tianyang Sect.

"Sect Leader Hu? What brings you here?" Song Qingfeng asked, his face full of surprise.

"I came to avenge my son!" Hu Shuisheng said coldly.

"Huh?" Song Qingfeng was startled, "What happened to your son? What revenge are you speaking of?"

"My son is dead."

"Ah? Dead? How did he die? When did he die?"

"A few days ago, outside the Beast King Valley, he was killed by one of your Tianyang Sect disciples."

"Someone from the Tianyang Sect?" Song Qingfeng frowned, "Who"

"A guy named Gao Fei."

"Gao Fei?" Song Qingfeng's face twitched violently, "Are you mistaken? How could Gao Fei possibly kill your son? That's absolutely impossible!"

"It was Gao Fei who did it," Hu Shuisheng insisted firmly.

Song Qingfeng twisted his mouth, "You keep saying it was Gao Fei, but do you have any evidence?"

"Of course, I have evidence," Hu Shuisheng snorted, "All the disciples who participated in the Beast King Valley trial can attest that before entering the Beast King Valley, my son had a dispute with Gao Fei, and right after that Gao Fei beat him up... A few days later, my son was killed; many people are saying it was Gao Fei."

"So, you didn't actually see Gao Fei kill your son with your own eyes?"

"How could I have seen it when I wasn't there?"

"What about the others? Did any of them see Gao Fei kill your son?"

"...There should be someone who saw it..."

"What do you mean 'should'? Either there is or there isn't. Can you give me a definitive answer?"

"Call Gao Fei out, and let me interrogate him."

"Impossible." Song Qingfeng refused decisively, "Without conclusive evidence, I won't let you touch Gao Fei."

"My son was killed, and I am in immense grief, with anger building up with no outlet. You'd better not provoke me, or else..."

"Or what? Fight me? Kill me? Do you think you have the ability?"

"You..."

"In short, if you can't produce definitive proof, don't even think about laying a hand on Gao Fei."

The conversation had essentially broken down at this point.

"I won't let this matter rest!" Hu Shuisheng left in a huff.

...

Song Qingfeng called Gao Fei over and asked gravely, "Did you kill Hu Shuisheng's son? Tell me the truth!"

"Hu Shuisheng?" Gao Fei was taken aback, "Who is he? I don't know him."

"Hu Shuisheng is the Sect Leader of the Sunset Sect."

"Oh, him. His son, Hu Qiu, is nothing but a troublemaker, always acting arrogantly just because he has some backing, so I gave him a good lesson."

"Did you kill Hu Qiu?"

"No, I didn't." Gao Fei shook his head, "I didn't kill him! The disciples who came back with me can vouch for me."

"Why was Hu Qiu's death kept from me?" Song Qingfeng asked.

"I forgot..." Gao Fei said, embarrassed.

"What about the other disciples? Why didn't they report to me?" Song Qingfeng asked with a snort, "Don't tell me they also forgot."

"That's right, they really did forget." Gao Fei nodded earnestly.

"You... talking to you is a form of torture! You'll be the death of me one day!" Song Qingfeng waved his hand in irritation, "You can go now, get out of my sight immediately."

"Hu Qiu wasn't killed by me, I swear to heaven." After saying this, Gao Fei staggered away.

Watching Gao Fei's retreating figure, Song Qingfeng narrowed his eyes, muttering to himself, "Can Gao Fei's words be trusted?"

...

"Hey, did you hear? The Sect Leader of the Sunset Sect has arrived!"

"I heard from others that the Sect Leader of the Sunset Sect is here to pick a fight."

"His son was murdered, and he's here for revenge."

"People are saying that the murderer is Gao Fei."

"Gao Fei killed the son of the Sunset Sect's Sect Leader? What a joke! Does Gao Fei have that kind of courage?"

...

Many disciples were discussing the matter privately.

Gao Fei deliberately stepped forward to defend himself, claiming that he was wronged, and he hadn't killed Hu Qiu. Several disciples who had accompanied Gao Fei in the trial also stood out to testify for him.

Unfortunately, not many people believed Gao Fei.

At dusk.

Hu Shuisheng came to find Song Qingfeng again.

"Hand over Gao Fei to me," Hu Shuisheng said icily, "I'll give you one hundred thousand Spirit Stones." Hu Shuisheng attempted to use Spirit Stones to sway Song Qingfeng, sadly to little effect.

"The last thing I'm short of is Spirit Stones," huffed Song Qingfeng.

"I'll give you ten Treasures in addition."

"I'm not interested."

"Ten Spell Manuals."

"Don't need them."

"... You can set your terms, as long as they aren't too unreasonable, I can agree to them."

"I have no terms."

"Song Qingfeng! What on earth do you want!" Hu Shuisheng was getting desperate.

"It's getting late, I want to rest. If you have nothing else, please leave," said Song Qingfeng in an even tone.

Hu Shuisheng's face twitched uncontrollably a few times, and he nodded forcefully, "Fine, you're tough! We'll just wait and see!" After dropping this harsh remark, Hu Shuisheng turned and left.

"Clang!"

Song Qingfeng closed the door, extinguished the oil lamp, took off his shoes, and went to bed to rest.

...

Time flew by quickly.

In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.

During these five days, Hu Shuisheng stayed in his guest room the entire time, not leaving nor letting anyone know what he was up to by himself in there.

"This Hu Shuisheng, what's he hiding in his gourd?" Song Qingfeng said to himself, "So many days and not a peep, it doesn't make sense."

"Reporting to the Sect Leader!"

A disciple rushed in, "An emissary from the Piaomiao Palace has arrived."

"What?" Song Qingfeng suddenly stood up, "Who did you say has come?"

"An emissary from the Piaomiao Palace," the disciple repeated.
