My Silly, Sweet Wife

Two days later, seeing that Bai Qinghe had recovered well and the matters in Qingzhou were almost resolved, Ye Guichen called Yuan Shao and asked him to bring Shui Liao and Huo Yi to wait for him at the highway entrance, preparing to head to Sakura Falling.

According to Situ Yufeng, Sakura Falling is located in the southwest of Hua Country, about three hundred miles away from Miaojiang, in an original forest.

Moreover, looking at the map, that original forest is situated like the limbs of Miaojiang’s famous mountains and rivers, resembling the branches of the Miaojiang region.

Originally, Mai Lang wanted to go together, but Ye Guichen didn’t want the Mai Family to be too involved, so he simply let Situ Yufeng lead the way.

When they arrived at the highway entrance, Ye Guichen saw Yuan Shao and his group.

To Ye Guichen’s surprise, Ma Xiaoling had also come along.

”What are you doing here?” Ye Guichen was a bit surprised to see Ma Xiaoling.

Ma Xiaoling didn’t seem to be in a hurry to leave, her eyes shining brightly after seeing Shui Liao.

Previously, when Ye Guichen and Chen Ziran went to Qingzhou, Ma Xiaoling insisted on staying behind to take care of Shui Liao.

Now, after soaking in the medicinal bath prepared by Ye Guichen, Shui Liao’s skin had not only fully recovered but even attained a bronzed beauty. Nowadays, even a knife or axe couldn’t harm Shui Liao in the least.

Ma Xiaoling seemed a little embarrassed upon hearing this, ”Mr. Ye, Shui Liao’s physique is too special, too suitable for us Corpse Chasers to refine into the legendary Golden Armor Corpse. So, I wanted to follow along, and if Shui Liao ever dies, I want to take his corpse.”

”Pfft!” Ye Guichen almost spit blood.

This Ma Xiaoling is actually waiting for Shui Liao to die!

Ye Guichen rolled his eyes at Ma Xiaoling, ”You’ll probably be disappointed. Now, unless a top-tier expert kills Shui Liao, nobody can do anything to him.”

”I don’t mind; I’m just bored, and I just want to follow along,” Ma Xiaoling quickly defended herself but lowered her head as she spoke, as if afraid Ye Guichen would see through her.

The miraculous effect of Ye Guichen’s elixirs had saved the Corpse Chasers from danger. Her grandmother had personally told Ma Xiaoling to make sure to maintain a good relationship with Ye Guichen.

If she could help Ye Guichen in any way, it would be best.

But Ma Xiaoling couldn’t find a way to help Ye Guichen and make him grateful, so she had to follow with an excuse.

Ye Guichen was helpless; having a Corpse Chaser by his side might be helpful in that original forest, so he didn’t say much more. However, he noticed Yuan Shao’s flickering gaze, as if he had something to say.

Ye Guichen asked curiously, ”What’s the matter?”

Yuan Shao glanced at Situ Yufeng standing by the car nearby, hesitated for a moment, and asked, ”Mr. Ye, is that the second secretary of the Azure Dragon Commerce, Situ Yufeng?”

Yuan Shao had joined the Azure Dragon Commerce and called An Shengtian his godfather, so naturally, he had to understand the secretaries of the Azure Dragon Commerce.

Although Situ Yufeng didn’t know Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao knew Situ Yufeng.

Thus, when he saw Situ Yufeng appear with Ye Guichen, he was a bit stunned.

Ye Guichen said, ”He knows the specific location of Sakura Falling, what’s the matter?”

”Oh, nothing, it’s just that Azure Dragon Commerce has too big a grudge against you, I’m afraid he’ll harm you,” Yuan Shao quickly responded.

”Haha, what’s wrong? Are you afraid he knows you’re An Shengtian’s man?” Ye Guichen could see through Yuan Shao’s thoughts and exposed them, making Yuan Shao a bit evasive.

Yuan Shao smiled awkwardly, ”Mr. Ye, look at what you’re saying, I, I’m genuinely concerned for you.”

”Enough, let’s get going. From now on, I’m your attendant. When we encounter An Shengtian, you should know what to say.” Ye Guichen didn’t pay any more attention to Yuan Shao’s little thoughts and simply instructed.

This trip to Sakura Falling might be dangerous, so to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ye Guichen decided to hide his identity.

Since Yuan Shao called An Shengtian his godfather, his presence in Sakura Falling would be justifiable.

This time, Yuan Shao would play the lead, and the rest would act as his subordinates, probably avoiding suspicion.

After giving all necessary instructions, the group continued on their way.

However, Ye Guichen didn’t fully grasp Yuan Shao’s intentions.

Knowing that Ye Guichen was an Innate expert, Yuan Shao’s thoughts had already become active.

He knew how terrifying an Innate expert was. Although the Azure Dragon Commerce was strong, it might not be a match for Ye Guichen.

The most crucial aspect was Ye Guichen’s youth; given time, Ye Guichen’s achievements would definitely surpass the Azure Dragon Commerce.

Therefore, Yuan Shao made up his mind to cling tightly to Ye Guichen’s support.

As the saying goes, if one person achieves the Dao, their followers rise too.

If he could maintain a good relationship with Ye Guichen, his future achievements would be immeasurable.

However, seeing Situ Yufeng nodding and bowing to Ye Guichen, Yuan Shao felt a sense of crisis.

If Situ Yufeng won Ye Guichen’s favor and Ye Guichen kicked him aside, wouldn’t all his previous efforts be wasted?

Seeing Situ Yufeng, Yuan Shao instinctively saw him as a rival.

No matter what, Situ Yufeng had to be eliminated.

This was like ancient officials competing for favor before the Emperor; Yuan Shao felt that this potential danger couldn’t be allowed to exist.

Situ Yufeng didn’t know Yuan Shao nor realized that his presence had made him a target.

After some allocation, Yuan Shao, Ma Xiaoling, and Shui Liao sat in one car, while Ye Guichen, Situ Yufeng, and Huo Yi sat in another.

Ye Guichen had his own plans for bringing Huo Yi along.

Huo Yi was An Cangsheng’s person, and she was very principled. If she were released, it might alert An Cangsheng. Keeping her close might be useful.

However, when Huo Yi saw Situ Yufeng, her eyes almost spewed fire, and she cursed furiously, ”Situ traitor, you’ve colluded with the enemies of Azure Dragon Commerce? You’ve betrayed the president’s kindness!”

Situ Yufeng’s face turned unpleasant after being cursed by Huo Yi.

He naturally knew Huo Yi was one of An Cangsheng’s Master Five and didn’t understand why Huo Yi was here.

”Mr. Huo, haha, what’s your implication?” Situ Yufeng forced a smile and glanced at Ye Guichen, ”Mr. Ye’s righteousness outweighs the president’s kindness.”

”Bah!” Huo Yi spat at Situ Yufeng, ”If I see the Secretary An, I will surely tell him about your actions and let the Azure Dragon Commerce’s rules punish you!”

”You...” A flicker of anger crossed Situ Yufeng’s eyes.

At such a moment, if Azure Dragon Commerce knew he was with Ye Guichen, it would spell disaster for him.

”If you want to kill, just do it; too much noise,” Ye Guichen said coldly, watching the two argue.

”Mr. Ye...” Situ Yufeng hesitated momentarily but quickly agreed, ”Understood!”

Suddenly, he struck Huo Yi’s head with a palm.

Huo Yi didn’t even realize what was happening, and her head shattered, dying in the car.

”Alright, drive!” Ye Guichen squinted and instructed.

With Huo Yi’s death, Situ Yufeng had no retreat.

He could only follow Ye Guichen blindly, daring not to play any tricks. If Azure Dragon Commerce knew he killed Huo Yi, they’d consider him an enemy.

Thus, Ye Guichen wasn’t worried about Situ Yufeng scheming on the way.

Nevertheless, it was unfortunate for Huo Yi, one of Master Five, to die so unjustly.
