My Silly, Sweet Wife

The white-haired person shook his head: ”Never mind, as long as we benefit from it. However, I did hear a rumor that Medicine King Valley colludes with the Eternal Life Hall and has entered the demonic path. Not only has the Sunan Mansion started targeting Medicine King Valley, but even the Taoist sects are targeting it now.”

”What?”

”What should we do?”

”For those magic pills, should we offend the Sunan Mansion and the Taoist sects?”

”Exactly, this is the southwest region, which is Sunan King’s territory. If Sunan King finds out we’ve helped Medicine King Valley, we may never leave the southwest region.”

The group became tense upon hearing the white-haired person’s words.

The white-haired person laughed heartily, glanced disdainfully at the people around: ”Look at you all, so spineless. The pills promised by Medicine King Valley can help us level up at least once. With these pills, all of our forces will skyrocket. Moreover, with the connections of Medicine King Valley, nearly half of the noble families and sects in Hua Country would support Medicine King Valley. Although Sunan King is a dominant figure in the southwest, after all, it is just the Sunan Mansion, does he really want to become enemies with so many sects and noble families?”

”Haha, by then, I’m afraid Sunan King will pretend to be oblivious, turning a blind eye.”

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this reasoning.

”That’s right, Medicine King Valley has always been stingy. It’s rare for them to offer pills to seek our help. It’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and who knows when the next chance will come if we miss this one.”

”Not just that, I heard that Medicine King Valley has already created the Innate Pill, the kind of pill that can break through the limitations of the first-class realm and step into the Innate Realm.”

”What? Are you joking? Really?”

”It should be right. Quite a few half-step masters have come this time, all aiming for the Innate Pill. Moreover, Medicine King Valley seems to have issued a bounty order for someone named Ye Guichen. They seem to suggest that whoever can kill Ye Guichen will receive an Innate Pill, and Medicine King Valley will give their utmost assistance to help them ascend to the Innate Realm, becoming a grandmaster level expert.”

”Wow!”

”That’s incredibly generous!”

”Tsk tsk, some people stay at the half-step master level all their lives, unable to break through. If they truly get an Innate Pill, entering the Grandmaster Realm would be a walk in the park.”

”Mr. Bai, this is a tremendous opportunity. You must seize it.”

Many people began fawning over the white-haired person.

The white-haired person smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth: ”Everyone, I think Medicine King Valley is just making a fuss over nothing. From what I understand, that kid named Ye Guichen is only in his twenties. Even if he’s got some skills, why would Medicine King Valley issue a bounty order? Haha, I fear there’s more to the story.”

”Who cares what the story is, just kill that kid and get the Innate Pill first.”

”Yes, Mr. Bai, the Innate Pill is what really matters.”

The white-haired person gently nodded as well, his eyes full of disdain: ”Indeed, later I will need everyone’s help to find out where that kid named Ye Guichen is. If we can kill Ye Guichen this time, I, Divine Fist Bai Xiaosheng, will certainly not treat you poorly.”

”You’re too kind, Mr. Bai!”

”We’ll definitely find that kid for Mr. Bai.”

”Haha, that kid is unlucky, being targeted by Mr. Bai, surely it’s a dead end for him.”

Simultaneously, many similar scenes were playing out elsewhere.

And the bounty order from Medicine King Valley for Ye Guichen undoubtedly became the most intriguing affair for some martial artists and noblehouses.

Especially for half-step masters, although they’re just a half step away from the Grandmaster Realm, for many, it’s akin to an insurmountable chasm, unable to cross it in a lifetime.

However, with the Innate Pill, the odds greatly increase.

Ye Guichen naturally got the news as well.

It was a little past ten in the evening when someone knocked on his door.

A person dressed in a Taoist robe appeared at the door.

Upon seeing Ye Guichen, the person bowed: ”Mr. Ye, I am a disciple of the Southwest Wudang Mountain. Ti’er is my martial uncle. He specifically sent me to see you.”

Ti’er Taoist, though holds a seemingly low position in Wudang, rarely stays in Wudang. His favorite activity is roaming the mountains and waters, deceiving and swindling everywhere.

After being recruited by Ye Guichen into the Heavenly God Temple, his nature became somewhat restrained, but within the Taoist sect, he’s still regarded as a wandering Taoist.

Ye Guichen had long anticipated that upon arriving in the southwest, Ti’er Taoist would surely come to see him.

Originally, Ye Guichen thought Ti’er Taoist would personally come to see him. Seeing he sent someone, he couldn’t help but frown: ”Where is Ti’er? Why didn’t he come himself?”

The other hurriedly bowed: ”Mr. Ye, my martial uncle is at a critical moment in his cultivation, seemingly about to break through, so he couldn’t come. Initially, when he heard that the Eternal Life Hall had appeared, he intended to come to you, but ultimately he couldn’t. Now, knowing that you’ve arrived in the southwest, he specifically asked me to come find you.”

”Oh.” Ye Guichen lightly nodded upon hearing this and invited the person inside.

The young Taoist looked no older than twenty, with an exceptionally handsome appearance, introducing himself as Yuanqing.

After entering the guest room, Yuanqing immediately said: ”Mr. Ye, our Wudang Sect Leader also received news from Heavenly Master Tao Master Zhang, learning that Medicine King Valley colludes with the Eternal Life Hall with intentions of disorder. Sect Leader was furious and sent someone to bring our Taoist disciples to Medicine King Mountain to meet you. When you arrive, he will go up the mountain with you to question Medicine King Valley.”

Ye Guichen politely responded: ”Sect Leader is indeed considerate.”

Yuanqing frowned: ”Mr. Ye, however, Medicine King Valley has already issued a bounty for you, using the Innate Pill as a lure. I’m afraid there’s no shortage of people who want to kill you. Although it’s only a hundred kilometers or so away from Medicine King Valley, there may be many dangers. If possible, our Sect Leader’s advice is for you to first disguise yourself as one of our Wudang Taoists and come with me, to avoid unnecessary trouble.”

Although he didn’t say it, Yuanqing’s meaning was simple.

They feared that Ye Guichen might lose his life before even reaching Medicine King Valley.

Ye Guichen understood their goodwill and smiled faintly: ”Little Master Yuanqing, I know, but there’s no need to disguise. I’ve never feared assassination. If they dare to come, then let them come.”

”But...”

”Yuanqing, since you call Ti’er your martial uncle, that makes you one of us. Let me ask you this, is Ti’er truly at a critical moment in his cultivation?” Ye Guichen suddenly stared at Yuanqing.

Upon hearing this, Yuanqing became somewhat flustered: ”Mr. Ye...”

”Speak!” Ye Guichen demanded without room for doubt.

Yuanqing lowered his head: ”Mr. Ye, my martial uncle asked me not to tell you...”
