Chapter 1191 1191: Sometimes It's Better Not to Know
"It's over, it's all over..."The One-eyed Bald looked as if his soul had left him, collapsing on the ground. Then, along with the others, he began to cry out in despair, "It's completely over! Without Snake Heart, our Empress is doomed..."
"Ahem."
Qin Feng, wiping his sweat, raised his hand and said, "Come on, stop acting like women. Seriously, didn't I say I'll help you out?"
"But without Snake Heart, how are you going to help?" One-eyed Bald cried.
"Even if we had Snake Heart, it wouldn't be possible to give it to them." Qin Feng squinted his eyes and said, "These days, there are many ways to solve problems, and fists are a good option..."
"Huh? Brother Qin is..."
One-eyed Bald and the others found it hard to believe.
The Holy Soul Hall is said to be one of the strongest in the Hidden World of Hua Country.
It's almost secured the number one spot in Kunlun.
Who would dare confront them head-on?
"Here's the plan, give me a month." Qin Feng said after some thought, "In a month, I'll go to Kunlun Mountain!"
He had heard from Young Master Black Soul.
A month later, they would sacrifice the Heavenly Empress to force him to sell Fengyun Group.
"But Brother Qin, that's the Holy Soul Hall..."
One-eyed Bald was still uneasy.
Qin Feng smiled and said, "Don't mention the Holy Soul Hall, even the Dragon King Hall - I'll go there if I have to!"
Upon hearing this, One-eyed Bald and the others exchanged glances and then kneeled in unison before Qin Feng, "We, the Big Snake Clan, are endlessly grateful for Brother Qin's generosity!!"
After seeing off the people from Big Snake Castle, Qin Feng's expression turned serious. He looked at the sunset outside the window and murmured to himself, "It seems the trip to Kunlun is necessary..."
But sharpening the axe won't delay the job.
When facing a sect force at the level of Holy Soul Hall, one cannot be sloppy.
They aren't like Qinling, Changbai Mountain, or Tang Sect, which Shu Mountain Sect can compare to.
Moreover, the land of Kunlun is inherently perilous.
This time, opposing the Holy Soul Hall needs to be taken seriously!
Of course.
Another very important thing is whether his wife believed the lie Ziyi told in the morning. It has been a thorn in Qin Feng's heart.
If things are as Ziyi said, and she figures out what happened between him, Ziyi, and Qingyi, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"I'll have a good talk with her tonight!"
Qin Feng decided.
Just as he thought this, Xu Yunxiao called, saying, "Qin Feng, something suddenly came up at the company. I have to go on a business trip, so I won't be coming back. I'm heading to the airport now."
"Business trip??"
Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat.
Wasn't she supposed to be shopping with Li Jie? Why a business trip? Where to?
"There are only two concerts left for Hongyan's tour, and I haven't been on the front line for a while. I want to help out when her concert ends. Otherwise, staying home all the time makes me uncomfortable. Also, I've missed Hongyan, Shen Lu, and the others. I want to visit them." Xu Yunxiao said on the other end of the call.
"..."
Qin Feng couldn't discern her tone: Was she really missing them, or was she upset because he hurt her feelings? So he said, "No rush, where are you? I'll come to find you."
"No need. I'm at the airport with Li Jie and Isa. The flight's taking off in fifteen minutes. Isa has been here for quite a while, and I'm taking her to see the concert. Don't worry, I'll be fine." Xu Yunxiao replied.
"Oh, then..."
Qin Feng didn't know what to say, cautiously he asked, "Honey, about what Miss Ziyi said to you this morning..."
Before he could finish, Xu Yunxiao interrupted, feigning annoyance, "Just thinking about it makes me angry."
Huh??
Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat.
She...
Does she really know?
"Honey, listen, let me explain..."
Qin Feng planned to clarify things but was interrupted again.
"What's there to explain! Can't you be a bit tidier? Honestly, your office suite is such a mess, letting Miss Ziyi and Qingyi hide in your room, with bedding everywhere, clothes and shoes strewn about, and tissues all over the floor. Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you?"
"Even if you aren't afraid of being laughed at, I am. What if they laugh at the husband I found being such a slob?"
"So, you need to change this habit. Even if you're alone, everything should be organized, understand?"
"..."
After Xu Yunxiao finished speaking, Qin Feng was incredibly embarrassed.
He hadn't expected this to be the reason she was upset.
He almost exposed himself.
"Okay, I'll change." Qin Feng said.
"Alright, I'm telling you, I'll secretly check when I get back, so don't let me find out again. Pay more attention." Xu Yunxiao warned.
"Don't worry!" Qin Feng assured.
"Alright, I have to board the plane, so we won't chat now. Take care at home." Xu Yunxiao said and then hung up.
Qin Feng then exhaled a long sigh of relief, recalling the previous conversation, carefully observing her tone. It seemed no different from usual, and nothing seemed wrong.
But he was still uneasy.
After hesitating for a moment, he called Li Jie.
Xu Yunxiao only took Isa to find Luo Hongyan, while Li Jie stayed back working at Fengyun Group.
"Li Jie, while shopping with Yunxiao today, did you notice her acting differently? Like... not being happy?" Qin Feng asked.
On the other end, Li Jie chuckled and said, "Boss, did you do something guilty and you're afraid Yunxiao found out?"
Qin Feng: "..."
"Don't worry! Yunxiao didn't think too much, she seemed quite normal." Li Jie said with a grin. But then her tone became more serious, "However, being too normal is also abnormal."
"What do you mean?" Qin Feng asked quickly.
"I don't know, I just realized that while shopping today, she was acting a bit unusual. Initially, I didn't pay much attention, but in the afternoon, I noticed her eyes frequently dazing out. Sometimes, she wouldn't respond when I called her, like she was forcing a smile. Of course, that might be my illusion, as she seemed as happy as usual." Li Jie said.
"Great, given the situation, something might be amiss..." Qin Feng struggled, "I can't just sit by; I have to find her and explain things!"
Just about to hang up, Li Jie stopped him.
Li Jie said, "Boss, I think... maybe you shouldn't."
"Why not? It's better to clear things up." Qin Feng argued.
"No."
Li Jie shook her head and said, "Sometimes, 'playing dumb' is better than explaining things. I know Yunxiao; if she wants to know something clearly, she won't let up. But for many things, she says nothing."
"What things?" Qin Feng was puzzled.
"Like, your scandals, especially after the one in East Sea City where dozens of affairs were rumored, she never delved deeper." Li Jie said, "That's minor, given she understood the situation back then, but there's one thing she probably never asked you about."
"What is it?" Qin Feng inquired again.
"Your engagement to Zuoqiu Feng; it's known throughout Fengyun Group, even nationwide in the upper circles." Li Jie sighed, "But she acts like she hasn't seen or heard anything..."
