My Wife is a Beautiful CEO

After standing in the training field for a while, an old man wearing a long green robe with a goatee in the corner of his eyes walked towards the three with light footsteps from the back of the main hall.    

    

He glanced at the Zhao siblings, then suspiciously at Yang Chen. The old man had his hands behind his back and asked: "Zhao Muyang, Zhao Ting, what are you two doing here?"    

    

"Housekeeper Xiao, we siblings are here to beg for a pill for Grandfather. Grandfather's life is nearing its end, and I hope to obtain a spirit pellet to assist in raising my Nether Water Stage." Zhao Muyang said respectfully.    

    

Yang Chen stood behind in silence. When he came, he already knew that the main butler of the Xiao family was called Xiao Gu Yuan, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Kui Water. He was from the Xiao Clan's branch family, and was a popular person by the Xiao Clan's Patriarch's side.    

    

"Oh? Begging for pill s? " Xiao Guyuan disdainfully smiled, "So Zhao Liangyu is not dead yet. His perception is already very good at the final stage of the Kui Water. He doesn't have much use for elixirs, it's just a waste."    

    

The expressions of the Zhao siblings suddenly changed. Their faces were as pale as paper, but they didn't dare to say anything. They lowered their heads, afraid that Xiao Gu Yuan would see the anger on their faces.    

    

Zhao Muyang forced out a smile and said, "Chief Steward, this Xiao Chen is also the one that came with us. He is a good friend of mine that just entered Hongmeng. I recommend him to join the Xiao family …"    

    

Although Yang Chen hated this Xiao Guyuan, he still acted cooperatively. He smiled and bowed as he said, "I am Xiao Chen. I was recommended by Brother Zhao. I admire the Xiao family and wish to seek allegiance with them."    

    

"I was about to ask, where did this little guy from, who has an early stage Deification." Xiao Gu Yuan sized up Yang Chen and sneered: "You're only at the early stage of Deification, aren't you afraid that we'll reject you and kill you when we go back to Hongmeng?"    

    

Yang Chen shook his head and firmly said: "I am still very young. Although I have just reached the Deification realm, I believe that I will be able to enter the Tribulation Stage in a few years. At that time, I will naturally be able to help the Xiao Family."    

    

"Haha, you truly don't know your own limits. It won't be too late to say these things after you survive until you reach the Tribulation Stage." Xiao Guyuan did not reject Yang Chen's offer to join him.    

    

Underworld Family required the addition of fresh blood. No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. If one didn't accept others submitting to them, the other two clans would accept it. When that time came, the other two clans would have nothing left to gain.    

    

Therefore, Ancient Families had always been a welcome treat for cultivators above the Deification realm. In any case, their relationship with Hongmeng had always been bad.    

    

With the identity of a nominee as the clan's bargaining chip, Xiao Guyuan clearly liked the Zhao siblings more and made them feel embarrassed for nothing.    

    

"The family head is currently in closed door cultivation. I don't know when he'll come out, but I'll take you guys to meet the lord. Let him decide."    

    

After Xiao Gu Yuan finished speaking, he took the lead to walk towards the main hall.    

    

What Xiao Mengyu was said to be in closed-door cultivation was actually just an excuse. Since the two of them were juniors from an insignificant vassal clan, Xiao Meng Yu couldn't be bothered to meet them even if he was here.    

    

The "master" he was referring to was Xiao Mengyu's eldest son, Xiao Mohui, who was also the blood brother of Xiao Zhiqing's father, Xiao Mozheng.    

    

The three of them followed Xiao Guyuan into the main hall. Stepping on the thick pine wood, the air was filled with the fragrance of purple sandalwood. The four corners of the great hall were carved with dragons and phoenixes. They were engraved with many inscriptions, and many ancient paintings were hung on them. It was both grand and graceful.    

    

A middle-aged man with long black hair was sitting elegantly on a chair, wearing an ancient brocade robe. He was holding a book and reading with relish.    

    

Yang Chen looked, this Xiao Mohui was only at the middle stage of the Underwater Stage. Although he was considered an expert in the illusions, he did not pose a threat to Yang Chen.    

    

The arrogance on Xiao Gu Yuan's face disappeared and he revealed a fawning smile as he went forward to bow and said, "Uncle, the Zhao siblings Zhao Mu Yang and Zhao Ting have brought a brat who wants to rely on our Xiao family to meet you. They want to obtain a Spirit Pill to help Zhao Liangyu pass the Kui Water stage. "    

    

Xiao Mohui raised his head, revealing a beautiful and mature man's face with distinct edges, just that he looked a little lazy and casual.    

    

"Oh, it's this kid from the early stage of Deification?" Xiao Mohui laughed strangely: "To use pill s in Tribulation Stage, one must have at least a mid quality spirit pellet or higher. To have any big effect, it must be a high quality spirit pellet." Don't you think it's a stupid thing to find some random brat at the early stage of Deification to try to trick a high quality spirit pellet?    

    

Zhao Mu Yang and Zhao Ting's faces darkened and they kneeled to the floor.    

    

Grandfather, please look at the fact that our Zhao Family and the Xiao Family have been stuck for more than a thousand years, and show mercy. Grandfather is only short of one last helping hand, if you can enter the Nether Water Stage, you will definitely help the Xiao Family even more, and you will definitely not forget the Xiao Family's kindness! Zhao Mu Yang pleaded.    

    

However, Xiao Mohui yawned, and picked his ears, "Nether Water Stage... Humph, let's not talk about whether or not he could really enter the sect. Even if Zhao Liangyu had entered the sect, this old bones of his might not even have that many years of lifespan left.    

    

If he gave him a high-grade spirit pellet, at most, it would only be Nether Water Stage, and it could be given to those experts who were already at the peak of Samadhi True Fire, or perhaps even Nether Water Stage, whose cultivation would be closer to the Karmic sinflames stage, Weak Water Stage, or even break through into the Weak Water Stage …    

    

"Father has gone into seclusion. I have recently taken charge of the internal affairs of the Xiao family. I cannot waste such a precious high grade Spirit Pill in vain."    

    

The Zhao siblings felt a chill in their hearts. Xiao Mohui was right, although they were anxious to extend Grandfather's life, looking at the entire Xiao Family and the subordinate clans below, seeing how a Kui Water stage old man had died, giving birth to a person who was at the peak of the Karmic Realm or Underwater Realm would be even more valuable.    

    

Originally, they thought that if they recommended a cultivator to join their clan, even if they did not give them any high quality spirit pellets, they would at least give them a few middle grade pill s. However, they never expected Xiao Mohui to be so heartless, and only look at the clan's benefits.    

    

"Great sir, please be merciful. Only grandfather can protect us in the Zhao Family. If grandpa leaves, the other families that have grudges with us will definitely suppress us and loot us. At that time, our descendants of the Zhao Family will be brutally killed."    

    

There are already over a dozen young disciples who have entered the Innate realm. In less than twenty years, there will definitely be another batch of cultivators above the Deification realm. At that time, wouldn't it be even more beneficial to the Xiao Family? " Zhao Ting tried her best to persuade him, causing tears to appear on her face.    

    

Xiao Mohui put down the book and walked over to Zhao Ting. Bending his waist, he reached out his hand to pinch Zhao Ting's chin and lifted her face.    

    

"Tsk tsk, truly a pitiful little girl. Unknowingly, so many years have passed. Twenty years ago, she was still a little girl. But now, she's already so pretty."    

    

Zhao Ting's eyes revealed traces of panic, her face blushing red, but she did not dare to disobey. On the side, Zhao Mu Yang trembled in nervousness.    

    

Xiao Mohui did not do much, his finger pointed at Zhao Ting's face and said: It's a pity, no matter how many reasons you have, you can't come up with an answer, so wanting to obtain a high grade spirit pellet is impossible … I can give you a few low-grade spirit pellets for old friendship's sake. "    

    

"Low rank?" Zhao Mu Yang and his sister looked troubled. The low grade spirit pellets were already useless against the Tribulation Stage cultivators.    

    

At this moment, Yang Chen spoke up from behind, "Uncle, I'm Xiao Chen. I have something to report."    

    

Xiao Mohui glanced at him and waved his hand: "I know, don't worry. Although your cultivation is low if you join my Xiao Family, on account of the fact that you have the same surname as my Xiao Family, I will not treat you unfairly. I will arrange a place for you to stay and give you a few low-ranked pill s. If you continue to cultivate well in the future, my Xiao family will protect you when Hong Meng comes to find you. "    

    

Yang Chen smiled, "I naturally believe that the Xiao family will not treat you unfairly. Only, even though this one has an initial stage of Deification cultivation, I am confident that I have some special abilities, which is definitely not as simple as the early stages of Deification. Brother Zhao, you recommended me to come here, so I should be able to obtain some benefits. "    

    

Xiao Mohui and Xiao Gu Yuan looked at him in surprise, while the Zhao siblings were confused, not knowing what Yang Chen was up to.    

    

"What do you mean?" Xiao Mohui became somewhat interested.    

    

"My innate talent was extraordinary since I was young, my body was extremely outstanding, and I also trained quite a few body refining skills. Although I was only at the early stage of Deification, my combat strength was enough to rival a mid or even late stage Deification. Furthermore, I am not even thirty years old. As long as the Xiao family is willing to give us a certain amount of support, I will definitely be able to help the Xiao family in the future. " Yang Chen revealed a confident look.    

    

Xiao Mohui, Xiao Gu Yuan and the others evidently could not believe it, but just as they were about to say something, the charming laughter of a woman came from outside the great hall.
