My beautiful CEO wife

"I didn’t expect that after such a short time, the gap between us would only grow larger."

"Mr. Xiao, if in the future you really break through dimensions, doesn’t that mean we won’t be able to meet for a lifetime?"

Long Qie sighed with emotion and spoke up.

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Don’t worry, even if I really can break through dimensions, I’ll definitely take you all with me."

Long Qie smiled but didn’t respond.

Because he knew very well in his heart that not only he, but even the likes of Evil Eyes, couldn’t catch up with Xiao Zheng’s power. Still, Xiao Zheng’s words touched him deeply.

After their idle chat, Xiao Zheng seemed to remember something, and suddenly spoke up: "By the way, there’s something very strange I want to tell you."

"What is it?" Long Qie glanced at him and asked curiously.

Without any hesitation, Xiao Zheng narrated the series of events that happened in the Southern Ocean.

Upon learning about the Ancient Clan and the Ancient World, Long Qie’s expression became incredibly serious: "Mr. Xiao, is this true? Did that Li Wei really say he was from the Witch Clan? And that he came from a place called the Ancient World?"

"It’s absolutely true, even I couldn’t believe it at the time," Xiao Zheng said solemnly, "Because the Witch Clan was assimilated long ago. When Li Wei claimed he was from the Witch Clan, I was stunned."

"Did he say where the Ancient World is?" Long Qie asked.

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "No, if he had told me, I wouldn’t be asking you now. Doesn’t our Sky Net intelligence system have any information on the Ancient World?"

"No..." Long Qie said helplessly.

Though he was reluctant to admit it, the Sky Net’s intelligence system indeed had no information on the Ancient World.

As for the Ancient Clan, it was unheard of.

"This makes things a bit tricky," Xiao Zheng said with a frown, "Li Wei said before he died that people from the Ancient Clan would descend upon the human world, inevitably causing a great disaster then!"

"Are the people of the Ancient Clan very strong?" Long Qie asked.

"In my opinion, definitely not," Xiao Zheng replied without hesitation, "But to many martial artists, the people of the Ancient Clan can definitely be considered freaks. Just that kid Li Wei has a mid-stage Transcendent Realm level; do you think they’re powerful?"

Upon hearing the words "Transcendent Realm," Long Qie’s face became extremely unpleasant: "But Transcendent Realm masters aren’t commonplace like cabbage on the street; the Ancient Clan shouldn’t have too many of such powerful beings, right?"

"It’s hard to say, as we currently know nothing about the Ancient Clan and the Ancient World," Xiao Zheng spoke, "None of us can guarantee how many Transcendent Realm masters the Ancient Clan has, they might even have true Creation Realm masters!"

After hearing his words, Long Qie’s mood grew even heavier.

Looking at him, Xiao Zheng then smiled and said, "Don’t show such a heavy expression; after all, the Ancient Clan hasn’t shown itself yet, and we have plenty of time for preparations."

"What should we do next?" Long Qie asked.

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng laughed and said, "Of course, we start investigating the Ancient Clan and the Ancient World. Since the Ancient Clan once lived on the same land as us, there must be traces of them left on this land."

"As long as we vigorously delve into it, we should be able to find some clues!"

After nodding, Long Qie said, "I understand, I will handle this personally."

He now realized that the Ancient Clan might be the most formidable enemy they’ll face next. Moreover, there could be more than one branch of the Ancient Clan, as they all live in the Ancient World; being their own realm suggests their numbers are not few.

"Alright, I’ll leave this matter to you," Xiao Zheng said, "If you have any developments, remember to tell me first."

Long Qie nodded, then escorted him out of headquarters.

After leaving the headquarters, Xiao Zheng drove to pick up Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran.

After nearly three hours of class, they were just finishing up.

After picking up Leng Ruobing and the others, Xiao Zheng asked, "Where should we go now? Should we go home, or just have dinner out before going back?"

Hearing this, Leng Ruobing said, "I’m fine with anything, either going home or going out to eat."

"Then let’s just have dinner out before going home," Xiao Zheng said with a smile, "Since we’re already out and about, there’s no rush to get home so early."

His decision was supported by Chu Xiaoran.

Xiao Zheng then changed direction and headed for a Western restaurant he recalled.

At the restaurant, the atmosphere was very elegant.

After ordering, the food was served quickly.

"The chef here is quite skilled; the steak’s texture is just right," Chu Xiaoran exclaimed in admiration, like a food critic.

Even Leng Ruobing nodded in rare agreement.

Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "If you think it’s good, then eat more."

Hearing this, Chu Xiaoran couldn’t help but curiously ask, "Xiao Zheng, aren’t you eating? Why haven’t you taken a bite since the food was served?"

Leng Ruobing also couldn’t help but glance at him and ask, "Are you troubled by something?"

It’s said that hearts align like those of spouses, and this saying truly holds true.

Although Xiao Zheng showed no trace on the surface, it didn’t escape Leng Ruobing’s notice.

After pondering a moment, Xiao Zheng decided not to hide it any longer and recounted his earlier conversation with Long Qie to them. The matter concerning the Ancient Clan was indeed serious. If they really emerged from the Ancient World, it wouldn’t be something he could keep from them.

Since it couldn’t be hidden, he might as well tell them in advance.

Upon learning the details, the expressions on the two women’s faces became somewhat serious.

"I didn’t expect such a thing!" Chu Xiaoran said worriedly, "Xiao Zheng, is that person who claims to be from the Ancient Clan really from the former Witch Clan? But where is this Ancient World? Could it be aliens?"

Hearing her words, Xiao Zheng felt both amused and exasperated: "You really think boldly, even considering aliens. It’s not that exaggerated; the Ancient World might be a remote place, like the Ice Plateau hidden in some corner of Earth, just not yet discovered by outsiders."
