My beautiful CEO wife

The corpses left in the courtyard were quickly cleared away.

The bodies left by the Ghost Raising Family and others were eventually dragged up the mountain to feed the dogs as instructed by Xiao Zheng.

As for the Sky Net brothers who died in this battle, their remains were preserved, awaiting an auspicious day for a grand funeral.

After dealing with these matters, Long Qie and the others arrived at the living room.

Xiao Zheng was sitting on a chair drinking tea, his expression calm, and no one knew if he was angry.

"Mr. Xiao."

Finally, Long Qie, with a determined expression, broke the silence.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng glanced at him, then his gaze swept over the crowd, and he slowly said, "Each of you say what mistakes you made in today’s incident."

Upon hearing his words, Long Qie’s eyes instantly moistened, then he said through clenched teeth, "Tonight’s incident was mostly my fault. If I hadn’t been so careless, those people wouldn’t have succeeded in their sneak attack."

"I also have responsibility."

"We also have responsibility..."

Titan and others also spoke up, wanting to shoulder the responsibility themselves.

Seeing this, Xiao Zheng put down his teacup and said, "You all were right; tonight’s incident involved everyone, including myself. So from now on, we must heed such errors and never let them happen again!"

"As for the compensation for these brothers, it will come from all the leaders above the Martial Saint Realm present, including myself!"

No one had any objections to his punishment; rather, they felt relieved.

Because if Xiao Zheng was willing to punish them, it meant his anger had mostly subsided. As long as Xiao Zheng’s anger diminished, it meant the night’s events could be put past like flipping a book.

However, this was only temporary; Xiao Zheng would definitely avenge tonight!

Especially upon learning that the Ghost King has returned to the mortal realm after two years, he felt an inner urge to meet this legendary Xiangnan Ghost King!

Whether he could find the Golden Bone from the Ghost King temporarily wasn’t on Xiao Zheng’s mind.

Since he simply wanted to eliminate the Ghost Raising Family, mutual hatred and animosity had been established, and Xiao Zheng would not let the Ghost Raising Family escape.

Long Qie and others were well aware of this, especially since they were beside him while he spoke with Feng Shanming.

"Mr. Xiao, what should we do next?"

"The Ghost King will be back tomorrow, right? Should we set a trap and ambush him?"

Titan proposed.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng decisively refused, without even thinking, "Setting traps and such is best avoided. You have no idea where the Ghost King might appear, and with his minimum Supreme Realm strength, no matter how many traps you set, they would be useless against him."

"Then what should we do? Are we just waiting for the Ghost King to come to us?" Titan asked again.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng shook his head and stated, "We can’t remain passive; rest assured, I know how to handle this. As long as he dares appear in Yun Chuan City, I’ll ensure he is detected immediately."

"Supreme Realm or higher warriors differ significantly from other martial artists; at the same realm, it’s easy to sense each other’s presence."

"Thus, as soon as he appears in Yun Chuan City, I’ll quickly find him!"

This was unbelievable!

Titan and the others exchanged glances, seeing surprise in each other’s eyes.

Xiao Zheng slowly said, "That’s the reality; I have no need to deceive you. Leave dealing with the Ghost King to me, while you focus on rebuilding and defensive work at the branch."

"The opponent is, after all, a renowned expert; even if I can instantly kill him face-to-face, we should still show him some respect."

Upon hearing his words, Long Qie and others nodded in agreement.

If the Ghost King were in the living room now, hearing Xiao Zheng’s words would likely infuriate him, as it rendered the Ghost King seemingly worthless, even needing to plead for respect!

But unfortunately, the Ghost King couldn’t hear this.

Even if he knew, Xiao Zheng wouldn’t fear him.

For as Xiao Zheng said, if the Ghost King dares to appear before him, he would dare to instantly kill the Ghost King!

Since breaking through to the Transcendent Realm, he felt unprecedented strength!

"Alright, everyone fought for a long time tonight; go rest now."

"Injured brothers especially need to rest after being bandaged."

"You should all leave; I’ll stay guard tonight."

Xiao Zheng surveyed the crowd and said slowly.

Long Qie and others didn’t insist, as Xiao Zheng’s strength was clear; as long as he was present, no matter if the Ghost Raising Family attacked again at night, Long Qie and the others’ safety would be assured.

The originally lively living room became instantly empty.

Xiao Zheng sat alone in the living room sipping tea, yet he didn’t feel bored.

One night quickly passed.

The next day, Long Qie and others woke up very early.

They hardly slept at all, or more accurately, they didn’t sleep. Instead, they lay tossing in bed repeatedly playing scenes from last night’s battle in their minds.

Especially seeing the corpses in the morning, Long Qie and others felt deeply pained!

"Good morning, Mr. Xiao."

Long Qie was the first to arrive in the living room and greeted Xiao Zheng proactively.

Titan and others followed closely, and upon seeing Xiao Zheng, they also greeted him.

Xiao Zheng responded to each, not appearing arrogant.

The crowd didn’t sense anything amiss, and after chatting briefly, they all sat beside him to drink tea.

However, as they chatted, the topic inevitably returned to the Ghost Raising Family.

Since the Ghost Raising Family hadn’t been completely eradicated, everyone discussed the next steps.

Long Qie said, "We absolutely cannot sit passively; although Mr. Xiao can roughly sense the Ghost King’s appearance time, he can’t lock its precise location, so we should continue gathering information."

"Didn’t that guy Feng Shanming say the leader is Wang Hui, who has a family relationship with the Ghost King? If the Ghost King shows up in Yun Chuan City, he’ll surely go to Wang Hui’s house first."

"We can investigate Wang Hui, and once we lock the Wang Family’s location, we can easily locate the Ghost King!"

Long Qie’s statement gained the approval of everyone.

Soon, a team of spies departed from the branch...
