My Silly, Sweet Wife

As for Yuan Shao’s thoughts, Ye Guichen naturally saw through them.

At the time when Zhou Weijun introduced Yuan Shao to him, he clearly stated that Yuan Shao had a rebellious nature and was an untrustworthy person.

Ye Guichen understood that Zhou Weijun was right after truly meeting Yuan Shao.

People in this world are all after fame and profit, even to the extent of using unscrupulous means to achieve their goals.

Yuan Shao almost brought this saying to life.

If it had been in the past, Yuan Shao would definitely have become a treacherous hero like Cao Cao.

Unfortunately, he met Ye Guichen.

At first, Ye Guichen did not understand why someone like An Cangsheng would willingly take in a treacherous person like Yuan Shao, but now he understood.

Although Yuan Shao was cunning and even willing to betray his master for glory, he had true abilities.

For instance, with the Heavenly Gang Formation, although its true effect was not significant, the power of the illusion was extremely formidable.

To many people, Yuan Shao was indeed a talent.

Ye Guichen also cherished talents, but he had no intention of bringing Yuan Shao under his command.

In Ye Guichen’s eyes, Yuan Shao was not even as good as Tie Shou.

Because, although this person had skills, his character was too poor.

In the entire Heavenly God Temple, everyone was Ye Guichen’s treasure, not just for loyalty but also for their sense of righteousness.

Someone who could easily abandon righteousness would one day abandon him in the same way.

Of course, Ye Guichen also had the confidence to keep Yuan Shao firmly under control.

But Ye Guichen didn’t intend to do so.

It was meaningless.

”Your act of carrying the rod to seek punishment doesn’t interest me.” Ye Guichen waved his hand, signaling to have Shui Liao carried into the Medicinal Food Restaurant and then had others dispersed.

After closing the door, only Zhao Erdan and his group were left in the Medicinal Food Restaurant.

However, there were some things Ye Guichen did not want Zhao Erdan and the others to know, so he let them go back to their rooms to rest, telling them not to show up no matter what they heard.

Although they didn’t understand Ye Guichen’s intention, they quickly left as he instructed.

Soon, only Yuan Shao’s people, Ma Xiaoling, Su Jiu’er, and Tie Shou were left on the first floor of the Medicinal Food Restaurant.

”Actually, I also hate traitors the most.” Ye Guichen sat in front of Yuan Shao without any intention of untying him: ”So, you transferred the Herbal Street to my name just to save your life, but it doesn’t mean your crime is forgiven.”

”I understand, I understand.” Yuan Shao, cunning as a fox, naturally knew Ye Guichen would not easily let him go. After witnessing Ye Guichen chop the Taishi Chair with a palm from a distance, Yuan Shao had only one thought in mind: No matter what, he had to follow Ye Guichen.

Because, only by following Ye Guichen could he rise step by step.

As for the Azure Dragon Commerce, although it had many first-rate masters, it lacked even a Half-step Master.

In front of Ye Guichen, the Azure Dragon Commerce was nothing but rubbish.

”Mr. Ye, here is the transfer contract for Herbal Street, I haven’t signed it yet, now it’s all yours.” Yuan Shao spoke, and someone threw a black plastic bag in front of Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen opened it and saw that it was indeed filled with stamped contracts, except for the buyer’s signature.

He casually took out one and glanced at it; it was the property contract for Herbal Street.

As long as Ye Guichen signed his name, Herbal Street would belong to him.

This was worth hundreds of billions of assets, a windfall for Ye Guichen.

That Yuan Shao could capture Herbal Street in just a few days was a rare feat.

Ye Guichen tossed the contract aside, seemingly disinterested, smiling: ”I told you earlier, the issue with Herbal Street can only spare your life, but it cannot pardon your crime...”

”Yes, yes, yes, that’s exactly why I came to see you.” Yuan Shao grinned, not showing any impatience despite Ye Guichen’s attitude, and continued: ”Actually, a major reason I came to Yun City this time was to pave the way for my godfather, um, I mean, An Shengtian.”

An Shengtian, the son of An Cangsheng, acknowledged as Yuan Shao’s godfather.

Ye Guichen did not speak but signaled Yuan Shao to continue.

Yuan Shao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, moved two steps closer to Ye Guichen, and said: ”Godfather, you may not know...”

”Hold on, I don’t have such a son!” Ye Guichen’s skin crawled at Yuan Shao calling him godfather.

This person truly was shameless.

He would call anyone he needed to fawn over godfather.

You’re certainly overdoing it.

Yuan Shao, hearing this, gave a sheepish smile: ”Mr. Ye, hehe, Mr. Ye.”

He then stopped hiding and revealed his intentions for coming to Yun City.

Although midway, Huo Yi kept struggling with an intent to kill Yuan Shao, he was slapped unconscious by Tie Shou.

According to Yuan Shao, the leader of Sakura Falling was on the verge of death, and there was a Holy Daughter in Sakura Falling who was rumored to be a beautiful woman. She was very likely to become the leader of Sakura Falling after the Oiran on Sakura Road died.

An Shengtian had been lusting after the Holy Daughter for a long time, wanting to have her but never had the opportunity.

This time, due to the impending death of the old leader, there was turmoil within Sakura Falling, with some people eyeing the leadership position covetously.

Although the Holy Daughter had strong cultivation and was beautiful, she did not have many supporters.

Thus, the Holy Daughter of Sakura Falling was in a weak position.

This was the opportunity An Shengtian wanted to seize to marry the Holy Daughter, and with the power of Azure Dragon Commerce’s An Cangsheng, forcefully intervene in Sakura Falling’s affairs.

If this succeeded, An Shengtian could easily control Sakura Falling and quickly become a prominent figure in Azure Dragon Commerce.

Sending Yuan Shao to Yun City was mainly to have him completely swallow Yun City and accumulate wealth for future needs.

Although An Shengtian didn’t say it outright, Yuan Shao had inferred that An Cangsheng’s intentions weren’t simple either; it seemed he didn’t want to merely remain a grand secretary.

So, on the surface, An Shengtian sent Yuan Shao to capture Ye Guichen’s Seven-colored Lotus Jade, but secretly it was to amass power for An Cangsheng.

After explaining, Yuan Shao eagerly looked at Ye Guichen: ”Mr. Ye, although Sakura Falling is affiliated with Azure Dragon Commerce, Azure Dragon Commerce doesn’t have substantial command over Sakura Falling. Now is a perfect opportunity. If Mr. Ye is willing, I could join you in a covert maneuver and seize the leadership position of Sakura Falling, which would be a significant blow to Azure Dragon Commerce.”

Ye Guichen squinted his eyes.

This Yuan Shao was indeed cunning.

He witnessed Ye Guichen’s Innate Realm power and immediately turned to deal with his own old employer, showing he had no character at all.

However, if used properly, such a person could become a sharp weapon.

Although he had no interest in the leadership of Sakura Falling, its current leader held the Seven-colored Lotus Jade, which greatly intrigued Ye Guichen.

Moreover, when Ugly Fox was released, he promised to obtain the Seven-colored Lotus Jade for him, but there had been no news for a long time, likely indicating failure.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Guichen smiled faintly: ”Your idea is quite good.”

He neither agreed nor refused.

Then, Ye Guichen took out the bone he had snatched from Yuan Shao earlier, waved it before Yuan Shao, and asked: ”Is this bone the key to controlling Shui Liao?”
