My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 150 - 149 Dramatic Name

In the reception room of the auction house, Gao Fei met Zhu Zhi's friend, a man in his forties, very tall and thin, looking just like a bamboo pole. After being introduced by Zhu Zhi, Gao Fei learned that this bamboo pole-like man was called Yang Wei, quite a theatrical name.

"Mr. Yang, can you tell me where you got that batch of porcelain from?" Gao Fei asked directly.

"What? Is there something wrong with that batch of porcelain?" Yang Wei raised his eyebrows.

"No, don't get me wrong." Gao Fei quickly waved his hands, "That batch of porcelain is all genuine, no problems whatsoever." He paused, then continued, "Mr. Yang, do you still have porcelains? To be precise, do you have other antiques? If so, I would like to buy all of them."

"Buy all of them?" Yang Wei's eyes narrowed.

Seeing Yang Wei's expression, Gao Fei knew for sure he still had antiques, "I'm willing to pay a high price."

"What do you want so many antiques for?" asked Yang Wei.

"Two reasons." Gao Fei held up two fingers, "First, I personally love collecting antiques, especially those that are ancient. Second, I have my own antique company and need a large source of goods."

"Oh, you have a company? What company?"

"Feitian Group."

"What! You own Feitian Group?" Yang Wei was very surprised, and Zhu Zhi standing beside him was full of shock as well.

Gao Fei nodded, "Yes, it's mine."

"Truly, one cannot judge a person by their appearance." Yang Wei sighed, "Mr. Gao, so young and already the chairman of a large group, that's really impressive."

"Mr. Yang, I'm sincere about wanting to buy antiques from you. I hope you can agree," Gao Fei's attitude was earnest.

"Mr. Gao, to be honest with you, I'm just an intermediary, responsible for helping some people sell antiques."

"An intermediary?"

"Yes, an intermediary! I know a lot of people, all kinds of people with various statuses. If they want to sell antiques, they usually come to me," Yang Wei paused, "There are two reasons they come to me. First, I have a wide network and can sell at very high prices. Second, I have high credibility and never play tricks, so it's very safe to do business with me."

Gao Fei nodded slightly, "I had no idea Mr. Yang was such a resourceful person."

"Just scrabbling together a living," Yang Wei laughed, "Mr. Gao, I can help you find antiques... but it will take a few days."

"No problem, I have plenty of time," Gao Fei said with a smile.

"What kind of antiques does Mr. Gao plan to buy?" Yang Wei inquired, "Do you have any requirements on quantity?"

"No limitation on size, type, or origin, as long as they are ancient antiques, I want them. As for the quantity... the more, the better. I'll take as many as you have," Gao Fei stated.

Yang Wei's eyes lit up, "Rest assured, Mr. Gao, I will make sure you're satisfied!" You'll take as many as I have? Without restricting types? This deal is too good to pass up. "Mr. Gao, I have one more request."

"Go ahead," Gao Fei nodded.

"According to the rules of our line of business, you need to put down a deposit..." said Yang Wei.

"That's only fair," Gao Fei had no objections, "How much of a deposit do I need to put down?"

"Usually, a deposit of one hundred thousand yuan is enough, but since you want a lot of antiques, I need to put in quite some effort... So, the deposit needs to be higher, five million," Yang Wei stated his price.

"Accepted." Gao Fei took out his phone and transferred five million to Yang Wei's account.

"Give me a few days' time, I will contact you as soon as I get the antiques."

"I appreciate it."

...

Yin Yang Sect.

Inside the council hall.

Xiong Batian sat in his chair, his brows knitted tightly, seeming to be in a bad mood.

"Master, I've searched everywhere in Yin Yang Sect and still haven't found any trace of Tang Shitian," Dongfang Jian reported.

"Tang Shitian is very cunning. It's within my expectations that you can't find him," Xiong Batian said indifferently.

"Please rest assured, Master. I will continue the search. As long as Tang Shitian is hiding within the Yin Yang Sect, I will definitely find him!" Dongfang Jian declared loudly.

"Dongfang Jian, how long has it been since you became my apprentice?" Xiong Batian picked up his teacup, blew on the hot surface, then took a sip, the aroma filling the air, soothing his throat and lungs, quite refreshing.

"It's been half a month." Dongfang Jian replied respectfully.

"I have seen your performance during these days," Xiong Batian smiled, "You're very dedicated and respectful towards me, not bad, very good indeed."

"Thank you for your praise, Master."

"Starting today, you will cultivate together with me."

"Ah?" Dongfang Jian was directly stunned.

"What's the matter? You're not willing?" Xiong Batian raised his eyebrows slightly, "Haven't you always wanted to cultivate?"

"No, no, no, I'm willing! I'm more than willing! I'd be willing even in my dreams!" Dongfang Jian hastily responded.

"To be honest, your cultivation talent isn't that great," Xiong Batian spoke slowly, "If it were in the past, I would definitely not have accepted you as a disciple, and neither would anyone else."

"Master..." Dongfang Jian became anxious upon hearing this.

"Let me finish speaking," Xiong Batian waved his hand, "You helped me escape my predicament; I owe you a massive favor, and I must repay you no matter what..." As he spoke, Xiong Batian took out a yellowed book from his bosom, "Take this and start your cultivation."

Dongfang Jian stretched out both hands, received the book, and looked down, noticing three words on the cover—three traditional characters—although a bit blurred, were still recognizable, "Merciless Decision!"

"Yes, that's the Merciless Decision," Xiong Batian nodded.

"Thank you, Master!" Dongfang Jian bowed respectfully to express his thanks, "I will cultivate diligently and definitely won't let you down."

"You need to remember every single word I'm about to tell you very clearly!" Xiong Batian's expression suddenly became very serious.

Dongfang Jian nodded vigorously, "Please speak, Master!"

"The Merciless Decision is a profound secret manual; during the early stages of cultivation, one's temperament will become impulsive, bloodthirsty, and sometimes even irrational, doing things beyond one's control. Of course, this is only temporary. Once you reach the Profound Realm, your temperament will gradually stabilize, and you will no longer lose your rationality."

"To cultivate the Merciless Decision, one must sever all emotions! Only by becoming heartlessly cold can one cultivate to the Great Achievement Realm."

"To gain, one must lose! If you desire powerful strength and a long life, you must be prepared to pay a certain price!"

"Dongfang Jian, think it over carefully."

...

"There's no need to think it over." Dongfang Jian said decisively, "I'm willing to cultivate the Merciless Decision! Even if I have to pay a great price, I'm willing!"

"Take the Merciless Decision back with you, understand it well, and if there's anything you don't get, come ask me."

"Disciple takes his leave."

Clutching the Merciless Decision with both hands, Dongfang Jian backed out of the council hall.

"Poor kid, so happy to become my scapegoat; he's such a fool," a cold smirk rose at the corner of Xiong Batian's mouth. He did not have good intentions in teaching Dongfang Jian the Merciless Decision; it was purely to use him as a scapegoat.

Xiong Batian had initially cultivated the Merciless Decision smoothly, rapidly increasing his strength. However, as his cultivation progressed, he sensed something was wrong. He discovered latent injuries in his body, scattered throughout his meridians—imperceptible without careful examination.

These hidden injuries did not exist before he began cultivating the Merciless Decision; they all emerged after its cultivation.

Xiong Batian got scared and dared not continue cultivating the Merciless Decision, yet he couldn't bear to just give it up. Eventually, he thought of a plan—to pass on the Merciless Decision to Dongfang Jian, using him as a pathfinder. He would closely monitor Dongfang Jian to see what consequences would emerge from his cultivation. Would he, too, sustain the same hidden injuries?

Dongfang Jian was completely unaware that he was being used by Xiong Batian. Right now, he was still very grateful to Xiong Batian, believing him to be a good master.

This is the deceitfulness of the human heart, amiable on the surface but insidiously evil within.

Impossible to guard against!

...

Elated, Dongfang Jian returned to his dwelling. "Dad, I have good news. Today, Master gave me a secret manual, and from today onward, I can begin cultivating."

"That is good news," Dongfang Fengyun nodded, "You must work hard and not disappoint your Master."

"I know," Dongfang Jian nodded, "I will work hard!"

"If your brother were still alive and saw you becoming accomplished...he'd definitely be very happy…" As he said this, Dongfang Fengyun's eyes began to redden, his lips tightly pursed, struggling not to let tears flow out.

Seeing his father in such sorrowful pain, Dongfang Jian also felt distressed. He walked over and grasped his father's wrist, "Dad, the dead cannot be brought back to life, please try to let go. Brother is gone, but you still have me. I will take good care of you in the future."

"What grieves me the most is... up to now, I still haven't seen your brother's remains…"

"Didn't Elder Lu go down the mountain to chase after the murderer? When he comes back, he's sure to bring brother's remains," Dongfang Jian reassured.

"Elder Lu…" Dongfang Fengyun frowned slightly, "It has been almost a month since he left, and there's been no word from him. I hope nothing untoward has occurred."

"You're overthinking it," Dongfang Jian shook his head. "Elder Lu is so strong; how could anything happen to him?"

"Better safe than sorry," Dongfang Fengyun sighed.

Dongfang Jian hadn't thought much of it, but after his father's words, he couldn't help but feel unease. Could something have really happened to Lu Sanyang? Logically, that shouldn't be possible—Lu Sanyang was at the Inedia Stage, and who in the mundane world could possibly be a match for him?

But still…

Why hasn't Lu Sanyang returned after such a long time? Is it because he hasn't found the murderer yet, or has he encountered some accident? Or perhaps he heard about the upheaval in the Yin Yang Sect and knew Xiong Batian had taken control, so he didn't dare to return?
