My Silly, Sweet Wife

Ye Guichen had never seen Bai Qinghe so nervous before.

Even in the face of death, Bai Qinghe always appeared fearless and ready to die.

But now, she seemed very tense.

She was holding two cups of milk tea, but one hand was pressing hard on the lid of one of the cups.

Strangely, there seemed to be a fluttering sound coming from the cup, as if something alive was inside.

Although curious, Ye Guichen kept silent and followed Bai Qinghe to a secluded spot behind the Chen Building.

”What’s going on?” Ye Guichen asked after they stopped.

Bai Qinghe looked troubled: ”I’m being targeted by people from the Heavenly Master Tao.”

”Heavenly Master Tao?” Ye Guichen frowned.

Ye Guichen knew well about the Heavenly Master Tao.

It was a powerful Taoist sect that usually didn’t involve itself in worldly affairs.

”Yes, Heavenly Master Tao!” Bai Qinghe nodded vigorously and then carefully placed the milk tea cups on the ground, picking up the one with the sound: ”There’s a paper crane made with a secret technique unique to the Heavenly Master Tao in here. I found it while buying milk tea for Mr. Chen. Luckily, I discovered it early; otherwise, this paper crane would’ve reported back by now.”

”Heavenly Master Tao, paper crane?”

Ye Guichen knew there were many powerful figures in the world. In terms of medicine, his master was one of them.

Apart from that, the Witch Clan was also beyond ordinary understanding.

Then there were the Taoist and Buddhist sects; particularly the Taoists, who rarely appeared in public and often chose to train in deep mountains.

Many secret techniques indeed existed.

Subconsciously, Ye Guichen thought of the Taoist he encountered at Wannian Chang’s place.

That Taoist didn’t harm anyone but used a compass to confuse Zhou Huairen, indicating his deep mastery.

”Let me see.” Ye Guichen reached out to grab the milk tea cup.

Bai Qinghe quickly pulled back: ”No, if we release it now, it will immediately fly back to its owner, exposing my location.”

”Then destroy it,” Ye Guichen said nonchalantly.

Bai Qinghe glanced at Ye Guichen: ”You don’t seem to understand the secret techniques of the Heavenly Master Tao. If it’s not thoroughly destroyed, they can still track it. And to destroy it completely, only top-level experts can do it.”

After a pause, Bai Qinghe added: ”I know you’re skilled in medicine and poison, but you might not understand this kind of secret technique.”

”Then why did you call me?” Ye Guichen shrugged helplessly.

Bai Qinghe was stunned.

Indeed, she thought of Ye Guichen the moment she caught the paper crane.

Besides Ye Guichen, she had no one to consult.

But if not handled properly, the secret technique could harm her. What good was calling Ye Guichen?

For a moment, Bai Qinghe didn’t know what to do.

Ye Guichen sighed: ”Alright, don’t worry, we won’t be caught.”

With that, Ye Guichen swiftly grabbed the milk tea cup and opened the lid.

”Whoosh!” A paper crane with a copper coin around its neck leaped out of the cup, flapping its wings like a living creature, trying to escape.

Bai Qinghe’s face changed: ”Catch it quickly.”

Ye Guichen smiled slightly: ”Why catch it?”

”What?” Bai Qinghe was puzzled: ”What do you mean?”

Ye Guichen said: ”Since it’s from the Heavenly Master Tao, even if you destroy this paper crane, there will be another. Better to deal with the source.”

After speaking, Ye Guichen chased after the paper crane.

Bai Qinghe hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly followed: ”Ye Guichen, the people from the Heavenly Master Tao are not easy to deal with.”

But Ye Guichen didn’t stop at all.

Bai Qinghe had no choice but to quickly follow.

Although the paper crane flew in the air, it was only about twenty meters above the ground, resembling a small bird if not observed closely.

Ye Guichen and Bai Qinghe followed at a steady pace.

After half an hour, the paper crane flew into the Shangri-La Hotel through an open window.

”Here?” Ye Guichen had just been to the Shangri-La and was surprised to find the Heavenly Master Tao person there too. Could it be related to Ning Chengyuan?

”Remember that window. Let’s go,” Ye Guichen glanced at the window and said to Bai Qinghe, then walked into the Shangri-La Hotel.

They took the elevator to the twelfth floor.

Bai Qinghe was extremely tense: ”Ye Guichen, don’t be too impulsive. Taoists might not be as powerful as you, but they know many secret techniques that can kill you without you realizing it. Besides, I heard the president of the Azure Dragon Commerce has a good relationship with the Heavenly Master Tao, paying them generously every year for their assistance when needed.”

”Bai Qinghe, you’ve cheated death once. Why so scared?” Ye Guichen stopped suddenly and looked at Bai Qinghe.

Bai Qinghe froze and then stiffened her neck: ”I, I’m just afraid you’ll die in vain.”

Although she highly admired Ye Guichen’s skills, she didn’t show much politeness in her speech.

Admiration aside, there was no need to be overly humble.

After all, Bai Qinghe felt she had been humble for too long at the Azure Dragon Commerce. Now, with a chance to escape, she wanted to live freely.

The comforting part was that Ye Guichen never seemed to mind her blunt words.

”You don’t need to worry about that.” Ye Guichen smiled, walked to room 1207, and knocked on the door.

Soon, a man’s voice came from inside: ”Who is it?”

”Here to see you!” Ye Guichen replied frankly.

Bai Qinghe was startled: ”Are you crazy!”

She expected Ye Guichen to find another way in or scout the place first, but he directly announced their presence.

Was he not afraid of the paper crane being discovered?

Bai Qinghe quickly clenched her fist, one hand ready to draw her Soft Sword.

The voice inside hesitated, then footsteps approached.

Soon, a Taoist opened the door.

The Taoist glanced at Ye Guichen and Bai Qinghe, smiling slightly: ”What’s the matter?”

Ye Guichen pointed at Bai Qinghe: ”Your paper crane was looking for her, so I brought her here.”

Bai Qinghe stiffened instantly.

She stared at Ye Guichen in shock, her mind blank.

Did you just deliver me right to them?
