My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 231 - 230: Independent Space (Part 3)

"Sect Leader Huyan, in consideration of you, I won't bother with this senseless fellow," Gao Fei feigned magnanimity as he spoke, "I am broad-minded and never hold grudges. Even if someone offends me without seeing clearly, I can forgive them. What can I say? I'm just soft-hearted."

"You... you bastard!" Chen Feiyang was nearly driven to madness, "I must kill you... I will kill you for sure..."

"Sect Leader Huyan! This guy is insulting me, and he's threatening me, aren't you going to do something?" Gao Fei shouted.

Huyan Wudi rubbed his forehead with his hand, getting a headache from Gao Fei's antics in just a short while. Gao Fei really was a supreme-grade oddball! The incessant chatter that came from his mouth could really anger someone to death.

"Enough..." Huyan Wudi waved his hand languidly, "Cultivator Chen Feiyang, you are broad-minded, so let's not bother with him. Sit down and have a drink to calm down."

Chen Feiyang stared at Gao Fei for several seconds, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Although he didn't speak, his meaning was crystal clear—he thoroughly resented Gao Fei and wouldn't rest until he killed him.

"Fellow cultivators, what do you really think?" Huyan Wudi, irritated by Gao Fei's commotion, spoke with a hint of iciness, "If you're afraid of dying, you can step back. I won't force you." Huyan Wudi paused and then added, "I disclosed the situation with the independent space hoping that everyone could benefit from it, to cultivate there together. What I didn't expect was...

that you would all behave in this way? Honestly, I'm very disappointed."

"We're all very willing to enter the independent space for cultivation."

"But those bugs are tough to handle."

"We need to come up with a safe plan."

"We can't just throw our lives away for nothing."

...

After much discussion, everyone finally reached a consensus.

They would go together, strike at the swarm together, and no one should back down. No matter the cost, they must annihilate that swarm of bugs.

Huyan Wudi turned to Gao Fei, "What do you think of this proposal? If you're not satisfied, you can back out. I won't force you."

"Agree, of course I agree," Gao Fei nodded without hesitation, "As long as I'm not made the cannon fodder, whatever works. We all charge together, share the dangers. Whether we live or die, we can't blame others."

"Fence-sitter!" A cold snort came from across the room, "Just now you were too scared to participate, and now you're eagerly vying to join in. Shameless."

"Slap!"

Gao Fei slammed his hand on the table, standing up, "Sect Leader Huyan, you heard that, right? That old bastard Chen Feiyang insulted me again. What are you going to do about this? You said earlier that whoever swears should be kicked out!"

Huyan Wudi suddenly felt a toothache coming on. Gao Fei was really too good at making trouble. Similarly, he started to feel a tinge of dissatisfaction towards Chen Feiyang, knowing well that Gao Fei was tricky to deal with, yet he kept provoking him, what a fool.

"Gao!" Chen Feiyang roared, "I now formally challenge you; I want a fight to the death with you!" His words shocked everyone present; they all lifted their heads and pricked up their ears, waiting for the drama to unfold.

A fight to the death in the hall of Ninefold Mountain? That was a rare event indeed!

Huyan Wudi frowned slightly, then picked up his wine cup and slowly sipped it, not intervening—his lack of action was tantamount to acquiescence. It seemed Huyan Wudi had quite the issue with Gao Fei, hoping to use Chen Feiyang's hand to eliminate him.

"Sect Leader Huyan, didn't you say? Private fighting is forbidden in Ninefold Mountain," Gao Fei asked.

"Issuing a formal challenge for a fight to the death isn't considered private fighting," Huyan Wudi said indifferently.

Damn!

Gao Fei cursed inwardly, shameless person, to say such a thing.

"Gao, do you dare to accept!" Chen Feiyang pressed.

"I accept your challenge as much as I accept a kick!" Gao Fei snorted, "What's your cultivation level? What's mine? You challenging me is just plain bullying!"

"I..." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"I what? You, a Golden Core Stage cultivator, challenging me, one in the Inedia Stage; that's clearly taking advantage of others!"

"You..."

"What about you! You still think you're in the right? You're nothing but an old bastard, a shameless old bastard!"

"If you're a man, duel with me!"

"Whether I'm a man is not for you to judge. Listen up!" Gao Fei said emphatically, "As for your challenge, I do not accept it."

"Whoosh..."

A chorus of hisses rose from the crowd. They couldn't believe Gao Fei dared to refuse. Was he not worried about losing face?

"You're just a coward! A good-for-nothing! A weakling!" Chen Feiyang cursed loudly, trying to anger Gao Fei into accepting the duel. Unfortunately... his plan was doomed to fail. Who was Gao Fei?

A sly individual. How could he fall for Chen Feiyang's bait?

Without paying any more attention to Chen Feiyang, Gao Fei turned to look at Huyan Wudi, "Sect Leader Huyan, why haven't you taken action yet?"

"Action?" Huyan Wudi raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Yes, take action," Gao Fei nodded, "Chen Feiyang has hurled so many insults, go ahead and kick him out."

"..."

"Sect Leader Huyan, just now, you yourself said that anyone who swears again will be kicked out directly. You can't go back on your word, can you?"

"..."

"You are the Sect Leader of the Ninefold Mountain, the number one expert in the Cultivate Immortality World. The words you speak are as precious as gold, you must honor them."

"..."

"Of course, if you want to protect Chen Feiyang, I have nothing to say. It's just that... your reputation might suffer in the future. When people mention Sect Leader Huyan, the first thing they'll think about is that your words carry no weight, and that's not a good sign. Over time, Sect Leader Huyan's authority will be gone."

"Enough! Don't say another word!" Huyan Wudi uttered sternly, "My word is absolute!" Having said that, Huyan Wudi turned his head to look at the ashen-faced Chen Feiyang, "Cultivator Chen Feiyang, please leave on your own."

"Sect Leader Huyan..." As soon as Chen Feiyang heard this, he became anxious.

Huyan Wudi waved his hand, "Don't make this difficult for me."

Chen Feiyang couldn't say a word in response; his mouth twitched violently a few times before he glared fiercely at Gao Fei, then... turned and left the hall. In his heart, he was furious. He, the Sect Leader of Flying Dragon Gate, had actually been driven out? If word of this got out, he'd be the laughingstock of the world.

With this incident, Chen Feiyang had lost face big time.

"Dad, I'll go with you," Chen Baobao threw down his wine cup, stood up, and rushed out, giving Gao Fei a fierce glare before he left.

"What are you glaring at! Glare again, and I'll dig out your eyeballs to soak in wine!" Gao Fei shouted.

"Swish!"

Chen Feiyang abruptly stopped in his tracks, "Sect Leader Huyan, this Gao guy also cursed. You should kick him out too!"

Before Huyan Wudi could express his stance, Gao Fei hastily said, "When did I swear? Does talking about digging out eyeballs count as swearing? Ask everyone, does it? Right, you should hurry up and leave. You're blocking the view. We still have matters to discuss." Gao Fei waved his hand impatiently.

"It counts!" Huyan Wudi slowly exhaled, "High Sect Leader Gao, you should leave as well."

"Me leave?" Gao Fei's face was full of surprise, "On what grounds should I leave?"

"Because you swore," said Huyan Wudi calmly, "Talking about digging out eyeballs is swearing."

"Who decides that digging out eyeballs is swearing..."

"I decide. Do you have a problem with that?"

"... Fine, since you put it that way, I've got nothing else to say. I'll leave right now."

Gao Fei cradling a jar of wine, walked outside, "I'll drink outside and enjoy the scenery while I'm at it, which is much better than sitting in this hall." Gao Fei managed to find himself a way out gracefully.

Sima Shangyue stood up and hurriedly followed out; with the Sect Leaders gone, there was no need for this Elder to stay.

"Hahahaha..."

Chen Feiyang burst into laughter, "That's satisfying! Truly satisfying! Damn it, that felt good!"

"You..." Gao Fei was about to speak when Sima Shangyue forcefully pulled him out, and Gao Fei took a displeased look at Sima Shangyue, "Why are you dragging me out? I wanted to curse a few more times."

"Just calm down," Sima Shangyue said with a bitter smile, "You've provoked too many people, even Sect Leader Huyan has grievances with you."

"They're the ones who provoked me," Gao Fei snorted, "I'm not someone who gets pushed around easily."

"This is their turf after all. If something happens, we're on our own," Sima Shangyue advised earnestly, "Besides, we still need Sect Leader Huyan to find the entrance to the independent space; we can't make our relationship too strained."

"Huyan Wudi never had good intentions, he wants us to be cannon fodder while he reaps the benefits from behind, truly sinister."

"Hasn't Sect Leader Huyan already declared his stance? He's willing to fight the black beetles with us, right?"

"That was forced by me. After I exposed his malicious intentions, he had to agree, just to maintain his image."

"Anyway, our trip here wasn't in vain. If we really can enter the independent space for cultivation, that would be amazing. Maybe we could even reach the Nascent Soul Stage."

"You're thinking too simply. Let's not even talk about whether we can enter the independent space; even if we really get in... can we cultivate in peace and safety?" Gao Fei scoffed.

Sima Shangyue blinked, "What do you mean by that?"

"Do you understand the independent space?" Gao Fei asked.

"No," Sima Shangyue shook his head.

"Without understanding the details of the independent space, would you dare to enter it?"

"Are you suggesting the independent space contains dangers?"

"We can't rule out that possibility."

"So what do we do? Not go?"

"Go, of course we have to go! The spiritual energy on Earth is meager, not suitable for cultivation. We must find a place teeming with spiritual energy for cultivation, the independent space is a great choice. As for danger... in pursuit of wealth and rank, one mustn't shy away from risks. To improve our cultivation, some risk is acceptable."
