Chapter 718: 718 Chapter: Wife, I Did It to Chase After You

"Who in the world is this current Martial Saint!"

As the man in the black robe left, the entire council hall fell into a silence like death.

The power of the Evil God was already terrifying, and now a current Martial Saint was helping him! Why? Who exactly is this Martial Saint, and why would he help?

...

On the other hand.

After Xiao Zheng caused a commotion at the Hushan Sect, he led the Sky Net’s army back to the Sky Net Base.

Just having been through such a battle, there were many matters to attend to, and it took some time before Xiao Zheng could see to all of them.

Afterwards, he thought for a moment, then summoned Long Qie, Titan, as well as Ten Killings into the conference room, distributing the ten Dragon Blood Pills and ten copies of a martial art he had obtained from the Hushan Sect among Ten Killings.

Ten Killings were all overjoyed.

With such resources, plus Ten Killings’ own talents, their strength was sure to advance further in a short period.

As for Long Qie and Titan, because they had received the Muscle Strengthening Scripture, those items weren’t distributed to them.

In fact, Xiao Zheng wanted to pass on the Muscle Strengthening Scripture to Ten Killings as well, but considering the major significance of the scripture, it was not yet the time.

Such a heaven-sent manual was a treasure—once leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable; for safety’s sake, he couldn’t easily impart it.

"All right, for the time being, focus on your cultivation. I reckon, with the Hushan Sect’s style, they won’t just let things go."

Xiao Zheng said with a smile.

"Understood."

Everyone dispersed.

Afterward, Xiao Zheng thought of Leng Ruobing and the other four women and couldn’t help feeling a bit troubled.

Keeping them at the base all the time was not a solution.

After all, matters with the Hushan Sect had come to a close and no issues were expected to arise in the short term, so after some thought, Xiao Zheng decided to let them return home.

However, learning from previous lessons, Xiao Zheng specifically assigned several batches of elite experts to guard the women day and night so that he would be informed immediately if anything arose.

The days that followed were peaceful.

Xiao Zheng continuously ordered his people to monitor the movements of the Hushan Sect, but over the next few days, he found that the Hushan Sect had not taken any action, which he found peculiar.

Based on the Hushan Sect’s style, they certainly wouldn’t let it go so easily.

"Go and investigate, there must be some other reason behind this."

Xiao Zheng promptly gave the order.

Instantly, the power of Sky Net began to act, probing into the events within the Hushan Sect, and ultimately, they did find out something.

"What? After I left, a mysterious Martial Saint came to the mountain and spoke on my behalf?" Hearing the report from his subordinates, Xiao Zheng’s brows furrowed deeply.

He didn’t know any Martial Saint!

Who was that person, and why would he help him?

"Heh, it’s for the best this way, at least I won’t have to clash with the Hushan Sect from now on." Xiao Zheng shook his head, dismissing the concern from his mind. He felt a sense of relief.

He was very pleased to avoid a fight with the Hushan Sect.

After all, as a sacred place for martial arts, the Hushan Sect had an incredibly vast influence. If a full-on conflict were to erupt, Sky Net wouldn’t stand a chance, and many people would die.

Besides.

Xiao Zheng’s life was already near its end, and if he were to suffer from several severe battles, aggravating his injuries and precipitating his demise, the aftermath for Sky Net was unthinkable.

"Whoever you are, I’ve taken note of this favor," Xiao Zheng quietly said to himself.

Xiao Zheng did not like being indebted to others. Faced with such aid, he would naturally seek to repay it in the future.

After that, Xiao Zheng resumed his ordinary life, going back to work.

When he returned to the villa, Leng Ruobing found him, her face exhibiting a playful smirk.

Xiao Zheng immediately felt a headache coming on, knowing what Leng Ruobing was about to do.

After the battle on the blood-red wasteland, Xiao Zheng had settled Leng Ruobing within the Sky Net Base, and since then he had been focused on preparing a counterattack against the Hushan Sect, paying her little attention.

Although Leng Ruobing had learned of Xiao Zheng’s identity as the Heavenly Net Evil God during the battle in the blood-red wasteland, she still had many doubts, and probably some dissatisfaction, since Xiao Zheng had kept this identity hidden from her all this time.

These matters needed an explanation.

"Hehe, my dear wife, good evening," chuckled Xiao Zheng with a laugh.

"I’m not well," Leng Ruobing replied, her tone even.

"Uh... what’s wrong?" Xiao Zheng feigned confusion.

"Hmph, you have yet to tell me about your affairs as the Evil God! Xiao Zheng, impressive, I must say. I had no idea that you were the leader of such a renowned global organization."

Leng Ruobing teased, "These past few days, I even did a bit of research. This Sky Net is known as the uncrowned king of North Africa, a truly formidable organization indeed."

Xiao Zheng replied with a forced smile, "It’s not all that formidable."

Leng Ruobing said, "Hmph, I don’t care about that. I just want to know why someone as important as you would... why would you engage with me in that fake marriage? What are you really after?"

Xiao Zheng felt troubled. This was, in fact, difficult to explain.

His aim in coming here was to search for the Golden Bone while also experiencing the life of a commoner. After years of constant fighting, he was a bit tired.

But to tell the truth and let Leng Ruobing know that it was all just for fun would probably lead to trouble.

"Hahaha, there actually isn’t any specific purpose. I’m actually in pursuit of you. Look, you are the CEO of Qianqiu Group, a top-notch figure throughout Hua Country. As a single dog,

the moment I laid my eyes on you, I was bewitched, so I decided to get close to you. But you are known as an ice queen, and even with my prestige, I probably wouldn’t have won your favor,

so out of necessity, I had to try some other methods, starting with a sham marriage. Hehe, gradually, over time, our feelings were bound to deepen,"

sputtered Xiao Zheng, his excuses flowing like a runaway train.

Of course, Leng Ruobing didn’t believe him.

If Xiao Zheng genuinely wanted to pursue her, then he wouldn’t have been so keen on divorcing her. If she hadn’t been dragging her feet and had not slightly changed his attitude in the end, perhaps this guy would have already taken off by now.

But even though she knew it was a lie, Leng Ruobing felt a wave of sweetness in her heart.

"Hmph, considering the effort you’ve put into pursuing me, I might give you a chance," said Leng Ruobing, her eyes lighting up as she played along with Xiao Zheng’s words.

After speaking, Leng Ruobing felt a warmth on her face and quickly turned to rush upstairs.

"Ni... Ni Ma..."

Xiao Zheng stood there dumbfounded.

A chance to pursue her?

The young lady’s words were loaded with meaning.

"Hehe."

Xiao Zheng chuckled to himself, seemingly struck by some thought, and continued to smile.

Shortly after, Xiao Zheng also returned to his room to begin practicing his martial arts.

Meanwhile, in Jianghu outside, undercurrents surged in secret.

In fact, ever since Xiao Zheng fought with the Hushan Sect, almost the entire attention of Hua Country was fixed upon him.

All the powers were watching.

There were even some international forces that had sent spies to gather information because Xiao Zheng held significant influence overseas as well.

Now, almost every power was waiting for the Hushan Sect’s next move, believing that the sect would certainly seek revenge.
