The Supreme Martial Expert of the Female CEO-Chapter 1823 - 1820: The Head of the Cheng Family’s Intentions

Since entering the Ancient Ruins, Ling Feng noticed that the Jade Token no longer showed the location of the Witch. At first, he thought it was because he was too far away, but despite crossing half of the Ancient Ruins, he still found no trace of the Witch, which made him suspicious.

"Son-in-law of the Emperor, there’s no need to worry. Lady Witch’s cultivation is earth-shattering; the mere Ancient Ruins cannot possibly harm Lady Witch!" Tian Huo said confidently.

Ling Feng was a bit curious: "You have so much confidence in Lady Witch?"

"Of course, Lady Witch is an Immortal Realm expert, second only to Lord Demon King. Back in the days..." Wu Xing stopped in time.

Ling Feng said discontentedly: "What happened back in the days? Leaving sentences half-spoken isn’t a good habit!"

Wu Xing smiled wryly: "It’s because Lady Witch imposed a gag order on us, saying it would affect her glorious image!"

Hearing this, Ling Feng became even more interested: "Quick, spare no words, what exactly happened?"

"Actually, it wasn’t anything extraordinary. Back then, the Abyssal Court was not stable in the Abyss Realm, surrounded by many powerful tribes who resisted the Court’s jurisdiction. One strong tribe even wiped out all the stationed soldiers of the Court over a trivial matter!"

"At that time, the Demon King intended to prioritize peace talks, but Lady Witch, unable to contain her anger, ventured into that tribe with just one sword. Three days later, rivers of blood flowed, leaving not a soul alive. That battle made Lady Witch famous and instilled deep fear of the Court in all forces since then!"

Ling Feng’s eyes widened: "Was Lady Witch really that furious?"

"Back then, Lady Witch indeed drew her sword at the slightest disagreement!" said Tian Huo. "But for unknown reasons, after Lady Witch reappeared, she issued a gag order on us not to speak of those days. As for why, we’re not quite sure!"

The corner of Ling Feng’s mouth twitched. It seems that being confined on Earth by the Demon King for thousands of years was, in some sense, a great mercy to Earth for not being obliterated by her when she broke free!

"Back then, that power had dozens of experts at the Pinnacle of the Azure Sky Realm, but none could contend with Lady Witch. The strength of an Immortal Realm expert is unfathomable to us, so Lady Witch is bound to be unharmed!"

Ling Feng nodded, realizing that Lady Witch’s strength had gained consensus among everyone. With that in mind, Ling Feng was less worried, as she was an Immortal Realm expert, after all.

"Once the commotion here settles, I’ll let you leave. After you get out, immediately gather your other comrades!" Ling Feng said solemnly. "The strength of the Ancient Ruins far exceeds our expectations. It’s impossible to obtain much Star Core Power through violent means!"

Wu Xing and Tian Huo nodded, having come to understand the might of the Ancient Ruins over this period.

"Rest here for a while. When the opportunity arises, I’ll let you out!" Ling Feng said as he left the Heavenly Spirit Stone Cave.

Meanwhile, in the Head of Cheng Family’s room, Cheng Minxue curiously asked: "Father, what exactly do you want to talk to me about?"

The Head of Cheng Family pondered for a moment and said: "Daughter, I want to discuss matters regarding our young friend Ling Feng!"

Cheng Minxue blinked her eyes, looking at the Head of Cheng Family with curiosity. She had no idea what her father wanted to say.

"Do you remember the incident with Guild President Dao Chengzi?" the Head of Cheng Family said gravely. "At that time, in order to save Ling Feng, you said he was your boyfriend, and I acknowledged Ling Feng’s identity."

Cheng Minxue’s face turned slightly red: "Father, I only said that in a moment of urgency; please don’t blame me, okay?"

The Head of Cheng Family chuckled: "Who said I was blaming you? If I had wanted to blame you, I would have said something afterward. I just want to ask, what are your feelings towards Ling Feng?"

Cheng Minxue’s face showed some panic: "Father, what do you mean by that?"

"Three days ago, the Li Family proposed the idea of an alliance through marriage!" the Head of Cheng Family said calmly.

"What?" Cheng Minxue’s face turned pale: "An alliance through marriage? Is it Li Zhiyuan?"

The Head of Cheng Family nodded and said: "That’s right, it’s Li Zhiyuan. Li Zhiyuan is the first in line for inheritance in the Li Family. His father hopes you can become his daughter-in-law, so..."

"I refuse!" Cheng Minxue said resolutely: "Father, Li Zhiyuan is a notorious playboy; I don’t like men like him!"

"Isn’t it quite normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines?" the Head of Cheng Family said with a smile. "That’s not really a problem. Besides, I believe that if you marry him, Li Zhiyuan wouldn’t fool around outside again, otherwise I’d break his legs!"

Cheng Minxue was somewhat flustered: "But I don’t like him!"

"That’s because you don’t know him yet!" the Head of Cheng Family said. "I’ve come to understand Li Zhiyuan quite well. Although his love life is a bit colorful, he certainly is a capable person; otherwise, he wouldn’t be the first in line for inheritance!"

After a pause, the Head of Cheng Family looked at Cheng Minxue: "Are you rejecting because you already have someone you like?"

"I..." Cheng Minxue bit her lip and remained silent.

"If not, then I’ll agree to the Li Family’s request..."

"No!" Cheng Minxue immediately said: "I do like someone!"

"Oh? Who is it?" A smile emerged in the eyes of the Head of Cheng Family.

"It’s... Big Brother Feng!" Cheng Minxue said, blushing: "I really like Big Brother Feng. I’m very happy when chatting with him, and he has never looked at me in a way that makes me uncomfortable."

"Hahaha!" The Head of Cheng Family laughed heartily: "I knew it. Alright, I understand what you mean. However, let me tell you, some things require you to pursue actively, or you might regret it later!"

Cheng Minxue blinked: "Father, what do you mean by that?"

The Head of Cheng Family said solemnly: "Then why do you think Ling Feng was able to walk out of the Emperor Seal Chamber of Commerce’s dungeon? And where did those two Mid Sky Realm experts who were with Ling Feng go?"

Cheng Minxue furrowed her brows and shook her head.

"Ling Feng harbors quite a few secrets!" the Head of Cheng Family said flatly. "So, if you want to get close to his heart, it’s not going to be easy! Therefore, as the daughter of the Cheng Family, if you want something, you have to fight for it yourself, understand?"

Cheng Minxue nodded: "I understand, I will try my best!"

"If you can connect with Ling Feng, the Cheng family will at least deepen its ties with that benefactor!" the Head of Cheng Family thought to himself: "The rise of the Cheng family is also imminent."
