My Silly, Sweet Wife

Upon seeing Yuanqing’s reaction, Ye Guichen understood immediately, and his expression became colder: ”Has something happened?”

Yuanqing couldn’t withstand the oppressive aura emitted by Ye Guichen, and he slumped to the ground: ”Uncle Master, he’s not going to make it, I’m afraid he won’t last a few more days.”

Then, while crying, Yuanqing recounted the overall events.

It turned out that about a month ago, Ti’er the Taoist met someone who offered him an Innate Pill at a low price.

An Innate Pill, even for someone as composed as Ti’er the Taoist, was a dream—a chance to enter the Innate Realm and become a legendary Grandmaster.

At that time, Ti’er spent all the money he had saved in his life to buy the so-called Innate Pill.

The result was that after taking it, within a couple of days, Ti’er the Taoist’s meridians shattered, and he lost all his martial abilities, becoming completely disabled.

Moreover, as time passed, Ti’er the Taoist’s vitality also gradually faded, looking in such a state that he probably couldn’t hold on for even a month.

”Yuanqing, Ti’er’s physical problems all stem from that so-called Innate Pill?” Grabbing Yuanqing by the collar, Ye Guichen shouted angrily.

Yuanqing nodded vigorously: ”Yes! Moreover, we’ve investigated the person who sold the pill to Uncle Master Ti’er, it turns out to be the Deputy Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, but later when the Sect Leader and others went to confront Medicine King Valley, they completely denied it, claiming not to know Uncle Master Ti’er.”

”Without evidence, even the Sect Leader had to swallow his anger. But watching Uncle Master Ti’er waste away day by day, I... I feel heartbroken too.”

Yuanqing raised his head, his eyes filled with tears: ”Mr. Ye, you don’t know, although Uncle Master Ti’er has spent his life scamming and deceiving, he never did anything that violated morality. After losing all his abilities, he joked that he had spent his life deceiving others, only to be deceived in the end. You should also know Uncle Master Ti’er had a poor fate with many misfortunes; he never could save any money, and the few hundred thousand he did save were swindled away. Even though Uncle Master Ti’er didn’t say it, I could see that he was very sad inside.”

”After the incident, Uncle Master Ti’er heard you would come to the southwest, and he made us promise not to tell you anything, saying there was no need to affect the bigger picture over personal grudges...”

”Nonsense!” Ye Guichen shouted angrily: ”Ti’er talks nonsense! How would he affect the bigger picture? Damn it, you go back right now, even if you have to carry him, bring Ti’er to Medicine King Valley. I want to seek justice for Ti’er!”

Ye Guichen now roughly understood the Deputy Valley Master of Medicine King Valley’s intentions at that time.

Though Ti’er the Taoist was considered a wandering Taoist by many, he was a prominent figure in Taoism.

Sabotaging Ti’er the Taoist was likely a warning to Taoism not to meddle in affairs.

But regardless of their intentions, since Ti’er the Taoist was his person, even if Medicine King Valley’s people don’t die, that Deputy Valley Master must.

Just then, someone knocked on the door again.

Ye Guichen raised an eyebrow and quickly walked to the door, opening it.

Standing outside the door was Su Wu.

”It’s you?” Ye Guichen was somewhat surprised that Su Wu would come in person.

Even though this was the southwest, and Ye Guichen knew the Su Family probably found out about his arrival, he didn’t expect Su Wu himself to come.

”Let’s talk inside.” Su Wu, without courtesy, nodded to Ye Guichen and entered the room, glancing at Yuanqing, whom he seemed to have seen before, knowing he was from Wudang, and he didn’t hide it: ”Captain Ye, Medicine King Valley has issued a wanted order for you, are you aware?”

Ye Guichen nodded: ”I am aware.”

Su Wu’s face was grim: ”What happened at Lingquan Villa, while Medicine King Valley doesn’t know all the details, they can guess the gist. You ruined their plans, stained Medicine King Valley’s reputation, and while they don’t dare to act against our Sunan King, they already see you as a thorn in their side. According to our intelligence, Medicine King Valley is offering an Innate Pill as a bounty to have you killed.”

Ye Guichen nonchalantly said: ”So what?”

”Ye Guichen, I know you’re strong and skillful, but as the saying goes, it’s easy to dodge an open spear, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. Many masters have come to the southwest this time, many of whom haven’t appeared in years, and even our Sunan Mansion isn’t confident in dealing with them.”

”By the way, I’ve also heard there’s an assassin skilled in assassination, seemingly aiming for the Innate Pill too.” Su Wu pondered for a moment, then asked: ”You know about the Heavenly Kill Organization, right?”

”Heavenly Kill?”

Ye Guichen had heard of this name before, it seemed to be an organization specializing in assassination.

Every one of them in there was a master in assassination, never failing in their assassinations over the years, seemingly much more skilled than the original Yama Hall assassin organization.

”People from Heavenly Kill are also coming to kill me this time?” Ye Guichen laughed, surprised that Medicine King Valley would mobilize on such a grand scale; it seemed Medicine King Valley was truly anxious.

”So, Ye Guichen, Grandpa’s intention is for you not to act alone for now, it’d be best if our people from the Sunan Mansion protect you. Stay at Sunan Mansion for a while, regarding Medicine King Valley, the Sect Leader of Wudang has also contacted my grandpa, planning to join forces with Sunan Mansion to question Medicine King Valley. No matter what, it’s an undeniable fact that they’ve colluded with Eternal Life Hall, and even if they try to deny it again, we won’t let them succeed this time.”

Ye Guichen didn’t expect to be so popular and smiled: ”Su Wu, I understand your intentions but Medicine King Valley and our Shennong Sect have old grudges. I need to personally deal with Medicine King Valley this time. Heh, rest assured, I’ve got it under control.”

”Ye Guichen, this is not the time to show off!” Su Wu was evidently anxious.

Although he knew Ye Guichen was formidable, having gained fame after the significant battle at Lingquan Villa with a magnificent presence.

But no matter how formidable Ye Guichen was, how could he face so many Half-step Masters attempting assassination?

Even a slight misstep could cost him his life.

Previously, Su Wu indeed looked down on Ye Guichen, but after several interactions, he felt a sense of mutual respect.

A genius like Ye Guichen, if he were to die, would truly be a pity.

Ye Guichen utterly disregarded the advice and patted Su Wu’s shoulder: ”Su Wu, don’t worry, I’ll attend Jiu’er’s engagement. As for the rest, no need to worry. Oh yes, our Shennong Sect’s development in the southwest will probably need your help.”

Seeing that Ye Guichen ignored his advice, Su Wu couldn’t help but get a bit emotional: ”Do you think I’d run all the way for you on purpose? Hmph, if it weren’t for Su Jiu’er asking me, do you think I’d come this far to find you tonight with nothing better to do? Jiu’er said, if you die, she won’t live either!”

Hearing this, Ye Guichen was taken aback, suddenly not knowing how to respond.
