The Supreme Martial Expert of the Female CEO-Chapter 1874 - 1871: Reunion

"So what does the Family Head mean..." Great Elder furrowed his brow, somewhat puzzled.

Ling Feng chuckled lightly: "The Ximen Family and the Storm Sect are bound to clash with Heaven’s Gate. At that time, they will definitely try to find as much external support as possible, and among the entire Ancient Ruins, that mysterious force is definitely one of the ones worth the Ximen Family or the Storm Sect vying for!"

"If we get this token, we’ll have the capital to negotiate on equal footing with the Ximen Family or the Storm Sect!" Ling Feng said in a deep voice.

"Really?" Great Elder was still somewhat doubtful: "What if they don’t need it..."

"Then our family won’t lose out!" Ling Feng smiled and said: "A token is equivalent to a promise, which benefits our family without harm. As for Dao Chengzi, he already has grievances with our family."

Great Elder nodded thoughtfully: "The Family Head’s thinking is indeed that way!"

Ling Feng squinted his eyes: "By the way, how is our plan progressing?"

"Everything is going smoothly. Regarding the counterfeit of the Wordless Heavenly Scripture, it has already been shaped. We invited an artifact refining master to refine it, and even a master at the Pinnacle of the Azure Sky Realm won’t detect any difference in a short time!"

Ling Feng slowly nodded: "What about the other matters?"

Great Elder’s expression turned somewhat unpleasant: "We’ve contacted numerous forces, but they all responded vaguely. Clearly, they don’t want to take sides at this time. At least for them, if a war breaks out, the first to bear the brunt would be the Storm Sect and the Ximen Family. They all want to wait until the situation becomes clear before making a decision."

"A group of short-sighted fools!" Ling Feng couldn’t help frowning.

Great Elder sighed and said: "There’s no help for it. To know the enemy one must know oneself, so as to win a hundred battles. Heaven’s Gate’s strength is unclear now, so naturally, they won’t easily take a stand."

Ling Feng had a bit of a headache. If he couldn’t unite enough power, how could he make Heaven’s Gate hold back?

At this moment, a Cheng family guard walked in: "Family Head, Great Elder, the Ximen Family’s representatives have arrived!"

"People from the Ximen Family?" Ling Feng and the Great Elder exchanged a glance: "Let’s go and have a look!"

At this moment, people from the Ximen Family had already arrived at the Cheng family, and Ximen Shuang also encountered Vice President Dao Chengzi.

"President Dao Chengzi!" Introduced by Zuo Yuqi, Ximen Shuang stepped forward: "I’m the representative of the Ximen Family, Ximen Shuang. There’s something I need your help with!"

The Ximen Family’s representative? Dao Chengzi showed a hint of surprise on his face. Although he’s the Vice President of Canglan Commerce, he’s nothing compared to the Ximen Family.

"I wonder what Miss Ximen needs from me?" Dao Chengzi suppressed the shame received at the Cheng family and said calmly.

Ximen Shuang smiled: "I heard President Dao Chengzi purchased the token of that mysterious force from the auction. Can you part with it? Our Ximen Family will definitely offer a satisfactory compensation to the president."

Dao Chengzi’s expression changed, he gritted his teeth and then sighed, saying: "Since the Ximen Family needs it, what harm in handing it over? But right now... the token isn’t in my possession at all!"

Ximen Shuang’s brow furrowed slightly. This time, the most important thing was to get the token, but she didn’t expect Dao Chengzi to say it wasn’t in his hands?

"I wonder who holds the token now?" Ximen Shuang pressed on.

Dao Chengzi said resentfully: "Just a moment ago, my token was forcibly taken by the Cheng family! If you want the token, you can only try to ask the Cheng family for it! But the Cheng family members are quite arrogant, they might not hand it over."

Ximen Shuang turned to look in the direction of the Cheng family, and after a moment of contemplation said: "Let’s go, let’s meet the Cheng family members, and by the way, see who this so-called new Head of Cheng Family really is!"

...

"The Ximen Family visiting us brings great honor to our humble Cheng family!" Ling Feng and the Great Elder pushed open the door and entered the reception hall, and at this time, Ximen Shuang also looked up.

At the moment Ling Feng’s and Ximen Shuang’s eyes met, they both froze.

"Big Brother Lei, why is it you!" Ximen Shuang exclaimed in disbelief.

Ling Feng pretended not to know her: "Miss Ximen, you must have mistaken me for someone else!"

Ximen Shuang took a deep breath: "Big Brother Lei, do you think I’d mistake someone else for you, my savior, the only one I care for?"

Great Elder frowned: "Miss Ximen, this is our new family head Ling Feng, surely not the person you know..."

Ximen Shuang seemed to remember something, and her face suddenly turned extremely pale: "Ling Feng? Big Brother Lei, what exactly is your name? Were you deceiving me all along?"

Ling Feng sighed, realizing that pretending not to know Ximen Shuang was now too late.

"Great Elder, could you and the others leave for a bit? I’d like to speak to Miss Ximen personally." Ling Feng said in a deep voice.

Great Elder nodded, although he didn’t know what had transpired between Ling Feng and Ximen Shuang, he could see that their relationship was quite deep.

"Miss Ximen, this..." Zuo Yuqi felt a twinge of annoyance at seeing Ximen Shuang’s attitude towards Ling Feng, as if something that belonged to him was being taken away.

"Leave!" Ximen Shuang said sternly, her elegant eyebrows raised, exuding an aura of authority that pressed down on Zuo Yuqi: "You should know your place!"

Zuo Yuqi’s face instantly turned pale, and his newly mustered courage vanished completely, then he obediently followed Great Elder out.

When only Ling Feng and Ximen Shuang remained in the room, Ximen Shuang took a deep breath: "Should I call you Big Brother Lei or Big Brother Ling Feng now?"

Ling Feng awkwardly rubbed his nose: "Well... the name Lei Feng was one of my aliases in the martial world, but... you can call me Ling Feng. I’m sorry, I deceived you back then!"

"You..." Ximen Shuang’s eyes instantly reddened, feeling a deep sense of grievance. She never imagined that Ling Feng had been deceiving her all along, not even revealing his true name to her!

Ling Feng sighed, feeling a bit troubled. Initially, Ling Feng indeed approached Ximen Shuang with an intention to use, but later, when Ling Feng realized her feelings, he decisively left the Ximen Family.

He didn’t expect that there would come a day when he would meet Ximen Shuang again.

Ximen Shuang wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes: "Big Brother Lei, I didn’t expect you to become the head of the Cheng family! Then you and Cheng Minxue..."

"I have nothing with her!" Ling Feng replied: "Uncle Cheng has done me a great favor, so I took up the responsibility to save him with all my strength."
