My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife

The Lingyun Emperor looked at Qingfeng Li with admiration and gave him a thumbs-up in his head as he watched Qingfeng Li flirt with Ya Xun, causing her face to blush like a red apple.

The Lingyun Emperor was well aware of Ya Yun’s identity – she was the daughter of the Chairman of the Crimson Fire Business Alliance, the most powerful business alliance on the Continent. Ya Yun was known as one of the four beauties of the Crimson Fire Continent, and everyone knew who she was. But who knew that Ya Yun would become so embarassed in front of Qingfeng Li?

Mengyao Xu walked up to Qingfeng Li and pinched his arm with her slim fingers. She said quietly, “Don’t hit on other women.”

At a loss for words, Qingfeng Li rolled his eyes – he had forgetten about Mengyao Xu, and was surprised that she was so easily jealous. Naturally, he stopped talking to Ya Yun immediately.

Lu Gu hurried up to Qingfeng Li. “Qingfeng Li, hi, allow me to introduce to you Zhen Lu, the vice master of Planetary Pavilion.”

“Hello, Master Lu, I’ve heard a lot of about you.” Qingfeng Li bowed slightly at the grey-cloaked elder.

This man was Lu Gu’s boss, so Qingfeng Li said hi just so Lu Gu wouldn’t lose face.

Zhen Lu looked at Qingfeng Li with admiration, and said, “I heard from Lu Gu that you are not only powerful, but also incredibly skilled at alchemy, and you helped him level up to the supreme level. I also heard that you killed the patriarchs of the Four Great Kingdoms. Are you interested in joining the Planetary Pavilion? I can provide you with an monarch level elixir.”

“Wow, he’s so generous, even offering an monarch level elixir to get Qingfeng Li to join the Planetary Pavilion.”

“If only I were Qingfeng Li… I would definitely join Planetary Pavilion. After refining a monarch level elixir, I might be able to breakthrough to the Spirit Monarch Realm.”

“No wonder the Planetary Pavilion is one of the ten great powers on the Crimson Fire Continent, they’re offering him a monarch level elixir already?”

The other self-cultivators discussed amongst themselves while looking at Qingfeng Li with jealousy. Even the other powerhouses looked at him in admiration.

The Planetary Pavilion was the most powerful elixir sect on the Crimson Fire Continent, and the elixirs they brewed were extremely strong. Rumor has it that their monarch level alchemists had the ability to brew monarch-class elixirs, but those elixirs were scarce. Therefore, only extremely talented powerhouses could possess them.

The Lingyun Emperor looked at Qingfeng Li in wonder and said quietly, “Hurry and say yes, if you join the Planetary Pavilion, you’ll have the monarch level elixir, and down the road you may be able to level up to monarch level.”

Qingfeng Li thought quietly for a second and shook his head, “Master Lu, thank you for thinking so highly of me, but I currently have no plans to join any organization.”

Lu’s expression turned into disappointment, as he thought that an monarch level elixir was appealing enough for Qingfeng Li to join them. He also thought more highly of Qingfeng Li, since any self-cultivator who had the ability to say no to an monarch level elixir had a bright future ahead of them.

The Array Formation Pavilion brought an monarch level array formation, while the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion brought monarch level treasures. Yet, Qingfeng Li had no plans to join either of them.

The other powerful sects and powerhouses stood up one-by-one, ready to lure Qingfeng Li into joining them.

A clan of beautiful women even presented Qingfeng Li with their own princess, but was still heartlessly rejected by Qingfeng Li. He wasn’t at all interested in beautiful women.

Lingyun’s Emperor looked helplessly as Qingfeng Li rejected all the powerhouses. He knew that Qingfeng Li was stubborn, but not to this extent.

All the representatives failed to lure Qingfeng Li into joining them, thus failing the missions their masters bestowed upon them.

Qingfeng Li didn’t care for monarch level elixirs, treasures, array formations, or beautiful women. It seemed like he wasn’t interested in anything.

Just then, Ya Yun smiled mysteriously. She stepped up to Qingfeng Li and said, “if you are willing to join the Crimson Fire Business Alliance, I’ll tell you a secret that you’ll definitely be interested in.”

Qingfeng Li asked, “What secret?”

Ya Yun replied, “Weren’t you looking for someone named Xue Lin? I know where she is.”

Qingfeng Li’s expression lit up with surprise, and his heart began beating rapidly in excitement.

Qingfeng Li took a deep breath, and opened his mouth, “Ya Yun, if you’re telling the truth, then I’ll join the Crimson Fire Business Alliance.”

The other representatives’ hearts broke upon hearing this.

Their elixirs and treasures weren’t enough for Qingfeng Li, yet Yun Ya said no more than a few words before Qingfeng Li agreed to join her alliance. What was going on?

The others had no idea that Qingfeng Li only cared about Xue Lin and Ruyan Liu. Ruyan Liu was still MIA, but at least by joining Ya Yun, he would know where Xue Lin was.

Ya Yun smiled faintly, “I obtained this information from a secret envoy within the Crimson Fire Continent. Xue Lin is in the Dark Ice Sect, and their master is a powerhouse of Half-Step Spirit Monarch Realm master.”

“Ya Yun, how far is Dark Ice Sect from here? How long will it take me to get there?” Qingfeng Li asked.

Ya Yun replied immediately, “Right now you’re only of level six supreme realm, so it’ll take at least a year to get to the Dark Ice Sect, located at the northern tip of the Crimson Fire Continent.”

Qingfeng Li said, “Time isn’t a problem. Can you get me a map of the Crimson Fire Continent? I’m going to head north to the Dark Ice Sect and look for Xue Lin.”

The other powerhouses were disappointed that Ya Yun had convinced Qingfeng Li, but had no choice but to leave Lingyun’s Palace.

Ya Yun was the last to depart; before leaving, she told Qingfeng Li that she was going to get him a map of the Crimson Fire Continent and asked him to pick it up that evening at the auction company.

Qingfeng Li looked at the Lingyun Emperor and said, “I might have to leave Lingyun Country tonight to go to another part of the Crimson Fire Continent. It might be a long while before I come back.”

“Here is a book with level-eight supreme realm techniques, some treasures and elixirs. These can help you level up.”

Qingfeng Li gave the book of techniques, elixirs and treasures he obtained from the Dark Arrow Assassin Organization to the Lingyun Emperor.

Unwilling for him to leave, Lingyun’s Emperor looked at Qingfeng Li sadly. But, he knew that there was no other choice.

Qingfeng Li was currently the most powerful self-cultivator of Lingyun and its surrounding countries. He needed a bigger platform to unleash his potential.
