My Silly, Sweet Wife

Duan Nanye nodded: ”Yes, not only a woman, but also a dual cultivation genius.”

”Dual cultivation?” Ye Guichen was puzzled.

Duan Nanye explained: ”That’s right, this world often isn’t short of geniuses, and Gongsun Fengying is the genius of all geniuses. She is not only a martial arts prodigy but also excels in external physical training. She’s a genius in both martial arts and external physical training, a genius among geniuses.”

”Yes, Brother Duan is right. So, this year, even Su Mu may have a hard time, but to complete the mission, we still need team collaboration. I believe Captain Ye has what it takes.” Wang Chaoyang’s words were clearly meant to be comforting.

Ye Guichen didn’t mind, instead, he started looking forward to this upcoming martial arts tournament.

Soon, Ye Guichen met those genius individuals.

Except for Su Mu, Ye Guichen didn’t recognize any of them.

By evening, members of the eight major organizations had basically all arrived.

And Ye Guichen also met the legendary genius among geniuses, Gongsun Fengying.

Ye Guichen originally thought that women who practiced external physical training would definitely have a robust physique with well-developed muscles, completely lacking the delicate beauty of women. But after seeing Gongsun Fengying, Ye Guichen realized he seemed to have fallen into a misconception.

Gongsun Fengying was not only not tall, but her figure could only be described as petite, standing at just about 1.6 meters, even appearing dainty and delicate in front of Wang Ying.

Moreover, her skin was incredibly tender, like that of a child. If it weren’t for Duan Nanye’s special introduction, Ye Guichen would have thought Gongsun Fengying was an underage girl.

But even so, Gongsun Fengying still had a presence that made her stand out in the crowd.

Because, at the Vermilion Bird Tower side, even the leading person treated Gongsun Fengying with utmost respect. Other team members, when they spoke, didn’t dare to look Gongsun Fengying in the eye as if she were a heavenly maiden, and even looking at her was a blasphemy.

Ye Guichen, however, didn’t care, and unabashedly observed her for a while.

Gongsun Fengying seemed to sense Ye Guichen’s gaze and suddenly turned her head to glance at him.

A pair of beautiful light blue eyes.

At that glance, Ye Guichen couldn’t help but be shocked once again.

Previously, he hadn’t noticed from the side. Now, seeing her from the front, Ye Guichen was once again amazed.

It turned out Gongsun Fengying was of mixed heritage, and her face could definitely be described as exceptionally beautiful, like a princess from a fairytale kingdom in the Western world.

After staring back at Ye Guichen for a few seconds, seeing that Ye Guichen had no intention of backing down, Gongsun Fengying’s blue eyes carried a warning, seemingly telling Ye Guichen that if he continued to stare, she would dig out his eyes.

Ye Guichen just shrugged indifferently.

”Ye Guichen, I didn’t expect you to actually dare to come!” At this moment, a hearty laugh rang out.

Ye Guichen then withdrew his gaze and looked towards where the voice came from.

Su Wu walked over with large strides.

”Brother Su,” Murong greeted shyly, her face immediately blushing, completely different from when she looked at Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen rolled his eyes.

It turns out Murong is also lovestruck.

”Junior Sister Murong, didn’t expect you to come this year as well.” Su Wu nodded courteously.

”Yes, I specifically came to train this year and didn’t expect to run into Brother Su.” Murong quickly replied with a smile, hinting at a sense of serendipity.

”Ahem, Murong, whose side are you on?” Ye Guichen said, looking at Murong’s lovestruck expression, raising goosebumps all over: ”Let me make it clear. If you’re planning to betray us, then go find your Brother Su right now. Otherwise, keep your mouth shut and play dumb.”

”Hey, Ye Guichen, are you insane!” Murong quickly retorted but then realized she needed to present herself as a lady in front of Su Wu. Immediately, she assumed a shy pose again: ”Brother Su, didn’t Jiu’er come?”

Su Wu shook his head: ”Jiu’er is at home cultivating. Our father has arranged a marriage for her, and she won’t be coming out before the wedding.”

While speaking, Su Wu glanced at Ye Guichen intentionally.

Ye Guichen didn’t avoid his gaze: ”Brother Su, I hope you’re not here just to let me watch you chat with our team members?”

”Ye Guichen, you...” Murong felt that Ye Guichen’s words sounded off, but couldn’t find a retort for a moment.

Su Wu laughed heartily, looking every bit the gallant gentleman: ”Ye Guichen, you really are lucky. First, Jiu’er is infatuated with you, and now you’ve become the captain for Dragon Teeth in this tournament. Should I say you’re lucky, or unlucky?”

Ever since knowing that Su Jiu’er might like Ye Guichen, Su Wu’s impression of Ye Guichen had dropped significantly.

Because, regardless of family background or status, Su Wu felt Ye Guichen was not worthy of Su Jiu’er.

Back in Jinling, Su Wu had casually mentioned it, never expecting Ye Guichen would actually come to participate in the tournament. Seeing him now was somewhat unexpected.

”Ye Guichen, I’m here to tell you that this year’s tournament is more dangerous than ever. You’d better protect your life. I’ve always hoped we could have a fair fight, to show you the gap between us in martial arts.” Su Wu’s tone was mild, but his words were full of arrogance.

Ye Guichen shrugged: ”Don’t worry about me, Brother Su. I’ll definitely survive this, and make sure our team members do as well. And I’ll say the same to you, for Su Jiu’er’s sake, I hope you live through it too, so you don’t make her sad.”

”Same to you!” With that, Su Wu gave Murong a friendly smile and then turned back to his own team.

Wang Ying blinked her wide eyes and asked Ye Guichen: ”Are you two very familiar?”

Ye Guichen shook his head: ”Who is he?”

Wang Ying, realizing Ye Guichen was playing dumb, turned away, not wanting to talk to him anymore.

Murong, however, looked at Ye Guichen with a peculiar expression, practically gloating: ”Hey, Ye Guichen, do you have some relationship with Su Jiu’er? If so, you’re doomed! Su Wu has a paternal and fraternal bond with Jiu’er and has high standards for her future husband. If you show any affection for her, just wait for punishment from Brother Mu. Didn’t expect there’d be a good show to watch in this tournament.”

Murong had the demeanor of someone who loved to stir up trouble.

Ye Guichen cast a glance at Murong and asked, ”Lady Murong, do you find it fun to make cynical remarks? From Su Wu’s demeanor, it seems like you fancy him, but he doesn’t seem to care about you. Indeed, it’s a case of the falling flowers longing for love, but the heartless brook disregards them.”

”Ye Guichen, I’ll kill you!” Murong, as if her tail had been stepped on, couldn’t contain her anger any longer and rushed at Ye Guichen with claws bared.
