My Silly, Sweet Wife

”Mr. Ye, I heard from Junior Brother Zhang that you are here, and since I wanted to visit Gong Cheng, I came by to thank you for your assistance.”

Yang Hongfu, with an impressive demeanor, approached Ye Guichen directly and greeted him with respect.

”Master Yang, you are too kind,” Ye Guichen said, completely unprepared for the arrival of so many people. He withdrew his hand from Gongsun Zhi’s grip, hurriedly pulled Feng Wuji up, and scolded, ”What are you causing trouble for? Move aside!”

Despite being reprimanded, Feng Wuji wasn’t angry. Instead, he grinned broadly, feeling more at ease. ”Understood, Master, understood.”

With slight annoyance, Ye Guichen said, ”Alright, alright, first it’s Brother Ye, then it’s Master. I don’t know what you’re thinking.”

Nong Huaji observed Feng Wuji’s submissive demeanor in front of Ye Guichen and was secretly astonished.

This Young Master Feng was known as an unruly heir in the capital, usually defying everyone, sometimes even arguing with the elder of the Feng Family. But now, in front of Ye Guichen, he was as obedient as a kitten. Truly, there’s always someone who can tame another.

Ye Guichen sighed and, ignoring the others, gestured for Zhang Chongchen to take Gong Cheng aside. Only then did he shift his focus to Shen Lao Hu, as if only now noticing him kneeling on the ground, exclaiming, ”Mr. Shen, what are you doing?”

Shen Lao Hu couldn’t fathom Ye Guichen’s intentions and trembled, ”Mr. Ye, I... I didn’t recognize greatness...”

”What happened?” Before Shen Lao Hu could finish, Gongsun Zhi stepped forward, his expression darkened. ”Mr. Ye, what’s going on here?”

”It’s nothing. This man simply wanted to ask me for spiritual spring water,” Ye Guichen casually explained.

”Ask you for spiritual spring water?” Gongsun Zhi said coldly, ”What audacity! Does anyone from Medicine King Valley dare to ask for that?”

Saying this, he dragged Gong Cheng in front of Shen Lao Hu, ”Ask him yourself, Elder Gong from Medicine King Valley, does he dare to request spiritual spring water from Mr. Ye?”

”What?” Shen Lao Hu was dumbfounded, staring at Gong Cheng, who looked disheveled and wretched. ”Elder Gong from Medicine King Valley?”

Suddenly, he slapped his forehead, remembering that the one overseeing Quanzhou for Medicine King Valley was indeed someone with the surname Gong.

Moreover, Shen Lao Hu had been fortunate to meet Gong Cheng a few times, always addressing him as Elder Gong, never knowing his full name.

When Ye Guichen mentioned Gong Cheng on the phone earlier, Shen Lao Hu was puzzled.

Now, upon closer inspection, Shen Lao Hu instantly recognized Gong Cheng, nearly wetting his pants in fear.

”Elder, Elder Gong, how did you end up like this?”

Gong Cheng’s face was now lifeless.

All his schemes crumbled into ashes in front of Ye Guichen.

Particularly, his men were slaughtered, and Qiuming Mountain fled, leaving Gong Cheng in utter despair.

Losing the spiritual spring water was bad enough; he hoped to redeem his errors through this opportunity at Lingquan Villa, so the Valley Master wouldn’t hold him accountable.

But now, everything was ruined. Even if Ye Guichen and the others let him go, Medicine King Valley would probably wish him a fate worse than death.

On hearing Shen Lao Hu’s question, Gong Cheng hung his head silently.

Ye Guichen, however, said mockingly, ”Elder Gong, they’ve always said our Shennong Sect is inferior to Medicine King Valley. Why don’t you tell them yourself if that’s true?”

His tone was nonchalant, but to Gong Cheng, it was full of deadly intent.

Gong Cheng shivered, not daring to waste a word, quickly raising his head and slapping Shen Lao Hu’s face, ”Nonsense! Shennong Sect is the number one traditional medicine sect in the world. Medicine King Valley is nothing! If anyone dares to slander Shennong Sect again, I’ll deal with them!”

Shen Lao Hu felt utterly bewildered being slapped but dared not argue, kneeling dumbfounded on the ground.

This was Elder Gong from Medicine King Valley, declaring their inferiority to Shennong Sect?!

What on earth happened?

But Shen Lao Hu didn’t dare ask further.

Ye Guichen continued, ”Boss Shen, do you plan to stay kneeling here forever?”

”Ah?” Shen Lao Hu finally realized, scrambling over to Fan Zhidong, consistently kowtowing and pleading, hoping for forgiveness from the Fan father and son.

While tearfully confessing his wrongdoings.

Gongsun Zhi generally understood the situation, his face growing darker as he spoke indifferently, ”Shen Lao Hu, you should leave Quanzhou yourself. Your medical clinic will become a place for Shennong Hall. If I find you still in Quanzhou from tomorrow, there will be no place for the Shen Family.”

At this, he glanced at the other medical clinic owners who came with Shen Lao Hu.

None of them dared meet Gongsun Zhi’s eyes, and as soon as they felt his gaze, they all fell to their knees, begging for mercy.

Everyone realized that the Fan Family was on the rise.

The Fan Family had grasped a golden opportunity, which not only connected them to the Kyoto Feng Family but also linked them with Heavenly Master Tao and the Gongsun Family.

Who would dare offend them in the future?

Fan Zhidong and his son were stunned by this unexpected turn of events, already dazed.

Amidst the continuous pleas, another voice sounded from outside, ”Our Su Family might not understand much about medicine, but we wish to invite Shennong Sect to establish themselves in the Southwest Region. Subsequently, I’ll order the eviction of all Medicine King Valley-related people in the Southwest.”

Everyone turned to look and saw Su Wu walking swiftly towards Ye Guichen, ”I wonder if Sect Leader Ye is agreeable?”

Ye Guichen’s performance at Lingquan Villa had been too impressive, leaving Su Wu feeling inferior.

His initial trepidations about Ye Guichen had completely faded.

Seeing Ye Guichen remain silent, Su Wu added hastily, ”Jiu’er has been thinking about Sect Leader Ye. In ten days or so, it will be the day of her engagement. Could Sect Leader Ye honor us with a visit to the Sunan Mansion?”

”Sunan King?”

Once these three words were heard, the entire clinic exploded with astonishment.

At first, many didn’t know who Su Wu was.

But hearing the words Sunan King, everyone understood that this person was from the Sunan Mansion.

How had the Fan Family also linked themselves to the Sunan Mansion?

And a decree to evict those associated with Medicine King Valley from the entire Southwest Region?

This, doesn’t it mean Shennong Sect will rise to incredible heights?

The original troublemakers were left dumbfounded.

Soon after, the sycophancy began, and they started praising loudly.

After everyone finally left, Fan Zhidong and his son felt like they were dreaming.

They understood that from today, the Fan Family would soar to great heights.

And all of it was because they followed Ye Guichen.

Half an hour later.

After temporarily sending others away, Ye Guichen led Yang Hongfu to the back courtyard of the clinic.

Gong Cheng and Qiuming Mountain were temporarily taken back to Heavenly Master Tao for Zhang Chonglou to handle.

As for the others, almost all were killed by Ye Guichen.

The storm that came quickly, went just as swiftly.

However, neither the Eternal Life Hall, nor the Yin Ghost Sect, nor even Medicine King Valley had their foundations truly damaged.

If they’re not uprooted completely, they’ll remain a hidden threat.

”Sect Leader Ye, I wonder what you wish to discuss with me?” Yang Hongfu, unsure how else to address Ye Guichen, decided to call him by his title after knowing he was the Sect Leader of Shennong Sect.

Ye Guichen didn’t respond, instead he descended into the dry well again, pulling out the Second Protector wrapped in a black cocoon, ”Master Yang, take a look for yourself.”
