Seeing the expression on He Zheng's face, Qiao Peiyu came to know that He Zheng had recollected what happened on that day. She covered her lips and chuckled.

But He Zheng refused to let this vicious woman enjoy her triumph for long. He flintily stared at Qiao Peiyu. There seemed to be two small flares in his eyes. ”Qiao Peiyu, you think I don't know who did that to me?”

After a brief pause, he added in a muted voice, ”Your son sent a demonized Dream Eater to kill me. Do you know who saved my life?” Qiao Peiyu's eyelids fleetingly twitched as she heard the word ”demonized”.

Collusion with demons was the greatest taboo in the realm of cultivation. If any family of cultivators colluded with demons and was exposed, all cultivators in the realm of cultivation would hunt them down. 'Given He Jin's abnormal behavior lately...' Qiao Peiyu tried hard to calm herself down. ”Stop talking nonsense, you brat! You can never fool me. I think you should spend more time thinking about how to serve your man!”

”That's none of your concern.” He Zheng was a short-tempered man. Previously, he would be easily provoked by a couple of remarks of Qiao Peiyu and then do a lot of stupid things. Now, since he had gained much more self-control, Qiao Peiyu's attempt to goad him into losing his temper had ended up in vain.

He walked up to Qiao Peiyu. There was no thundering rage that Qiao Peiyu had expected to see. What He Zheng had on his face was a calm expression. In a voice audible only to the two of them, he said, ”The one who saved my life was Li Zong.”

He Zheng looked extremely charming when smiling. Looking down at Qiao Peiyu with his head up, he added, ”You think Li Zong won't investigate it?”

”Actually, I have to thank you for putting so much effort into marrying me to Li Zong.” He Zheng lowered his head and gave a bland smile. Qiao Peiyu was filled with panic and anger, the color of her face alternating between pale and red.

Satisfied with her reaction, He Zheng leisurely walked out of the hall and exhaled deeply.

'It seems that dealing with this kind of woman requires not loud voice but a smart brain.'

He Zheng glanced at the reflection of Qiao Peiyu's vulnerable figure in the glass and gave a chuckle.

'This is only the beginning,' he thought.
