My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 387 - 384 What's Most Important

In fact, the bandit elder's guess proved accurate; Miao Kuangfeng indeed intended to protect Cao Buwei. He wasn't a fool, and of course, he could see Ding Dalin taking the blame for Cao Buwei. It's just that he didn't delve into it. After a great battle, over ten thousand soldiers were injured or killed, and more than half of the generals suffered the same fate.

It was easy to train soldiers but not so easy to train generals. Cao Buwei was also considered a capable leader, so to kill him would be a great pity, especially when there was a shortage of troops and officers. Keeping Cao Buwei became very important...

After much thought, Miao Kuangfeng ultimately decided to spare Cao Buwei's life.

How clever Gao Fei was! He thought carefully and understood Miao Kuangfeng's intentions.

"Cao Buwei really has good luck," Gao Fei scoffed.

"I'm very curious, what grievance do you have with Cao Buwei that you must fight to the death?" the bandit elder asked doubtfully.

"You might not believe it if I told you."

"Let's hear it."

"Just because I talked back to Cao Buwei, he held a grudge..." Gao Fei recounted the cause of his enmity with Cao Buwei simply.

"That's it?" the bandit elder's eyes widened in disbelief.

Gao Fei nodded, "Yes, just that simple."

"Damn!" the bandit elder cursed, "That Cao Buwei is too petty, even pettier than the eye of a needle. Offending such a person, that's your bad luck." After a pause, he added, "Petty people easily bear grudges, and their maliciousness is hard to guard against. You need to be careful from now on."

"Are you taking pleasure in my misfortune?"

"No, I'm just stating the truth. If you don't want to hear it, pretend I didn't say anything."

"Fine, stop the chatter and start explaining," Gao Fei said as he tossed a stack of papers to the bandit elder, "Write down everything you know, and don't leave anything out."

The bandit elder blinked, "Are you not letting me lie and frame Cao Buwei anymore?"

"Frame my foot!" Gao Fei cursed, "Write your stuff, quickly!" Now that he knew Miao Kuangfeng was deliberately protecting Cao Buwei, Gao Fei definitely couldn't go looking for trouble. For now, he would let Cao Buwei off and look for another opportunity to deal with him later.

After being scolded by Gao Fei, the bandit elder immediately shut his mouth and did not dare to speak again.

As the bandit elder bowed his head to write, Gao Fei brewed a cup of hot tea, sat beside him, sipping his tea while contemplating silently.

Counting the days, it had been almost a year since Gao Fei arrived in Elysium. Many things had happened over the year, some good, some bad. Overall, it was acceptable, at least his cultivation had improved, and he managed to attain some form of official status.

Of course, in this time, Gao Fei had offended many people, and they were all deadly enemies. Due to various reasons, Gao Fei couldn't eliminate these enemies, leaving him depressed daily.

"I wonder how things are outside," Gao Fei murmured to himself, "Father, mother, my wives, and friends...are you all doing well?"

Experiencing the solitude and loneliness of navigating Elysium alone was something others couldn't understand.

"Should I go back and have a look?" Once this thought surfaced, it lingered persistently.

No, I can't go back yet!

Gao Fei's purpose for coming to Elysium was to cultivate, and he didn't want to return without achieving something substantial.

He had finally made it to Elysium, and he couldn't just go back like that.

Moreover, returning was not an easy task either, for it required passing through a lengthy Space Channel, filled with numerous rifts that could obliterate one at the slightest inattention. With Gao Fei's current strength, he was not yet capable of withstanding those terrifying rifts.

When he had arrived, his Dantian was severely damaged, resulting in the loss of his Cultivation. It took him a long time to recover his Cultivation, and if he had to go through it all over again... Gao Fei might break down.

"Just wait a little longer, wait until my Cultivation has improved, then I'll go back," Gao Fei decided in an instant, "My family and friends, please wait a bit longer, I'll come back to see you soon, and then, I'll bring you to Elysium to live together."

Elysium had no television, no internet, no planes or cars... It seemed somewhat monotonous, but... the air in Elysium was fresh, completely free of pollution, and living there could greatly extend one's lifespan.

What's most important to a person? Of course, it's life! As long as life can be extended, sacrificing some things is acceptable.

Gao Fei believed that his parents and wife would definitely be willing to come to Elysium.

Just as Gao Fei was indulging in the thought of a happy life with his parents and wife, the old bandit put down his pen, lifting his head, "I'm done."

"Eh? Oh... that was fast." Gao Fei was displeased to be interrupted in his thoughts. He stood up, walked over, picked up a piece of paper, and began to read, "Is this all?"

"For now, that's all I can remember." The old bandit shrugged, "Take it to your Wan Fuchang to see, he will definitely be interested."

"Alright, you stay here and behave, I'll be right back." Gao Fei left with the paper in hand.

"Phew..." The old bandit leaned back in his chair, exhaling a sigh of relief, "Finally, I can relax a bit, these past two days have been so exhausting."

...

Inside the central military tent.

Gao Fei handed the paper filled with writing to Miao Kuangfeng.

Miao Kuangfeng glanced down at it, "Hmm, not bad, the old man knows quite a lot." After reading it for a bit, Miao Kuangfeng set the paper down, then looked up at Gao Fei, "Ding Dalin has been executed, and Cao Buwei has been lashed a hundred times. Are you satisfied with this outcome?"

"Eh?" Gao Fei didn't expect Miao Kuangfeng to ask for his opinion, "I have no objections to the decisions made by Lord Wan Fuchang."

"Are you speaking honestly?"

"Yes."

"Gao Fei! I know you have been wronged this time. After we return to the main camp, I will compensate you well."

"There's no need for compensation, as long as Cao Buwei doesn't scheme against me in the future, I'll be content."

"He wouldn't dare." Miao Kuangfeng said, "I've already warned Cao Buwei. He won't dare target you again... cough cough cough..." As he said this, Miao Kuangfeng coughed violently, his complexion turning a bit pale. His injuries were too severe; any slightly vigorous movement would cause unimaginable pain in his organs.

"Sir, are you alright?" Gao Fei asked with concern.

"Don't worry about me, I'm fine." Miao Kuangfeng waved his hand, "If there's nothing else, you can go back."

"Alright." Gao Fei took one more glance at Miao Kuangfeng, then turned and left.

"Cough cough cough..." The sound of Miao Kuangfeng's coughing followed from behind.

Upon leaving the tent, Gao Fei furrowed his brows and muttered to himself, it seems... Miao Kuangfeng's injury is not light at all! Inside the tent, Gao Fei could clearly sense that Miao Kuangfeng's Qi was chaotic and weak, much like a patient in critical condition.
