My Silly, Sweet Wife

Ten minutes later, Su Wu returned with those from the Su Family.

Seeing the scene at the site, Su Wu was momentarily stunned, especially upon seeing the three Half-step Masters lying on the ground, disbelief flickering in his eyes.

”Did you do all this?” Su Wu looked up at Ye Guichen.

”Let’s go.” Ye Guichen didn’t say much and got back into the car.

As for Situ Kong from Medicine King Valley, he was shot dead in the first round of crossbow arrows.

Ye Guichen directly threw Situ Kong’s corpse off the car.

Su Wu looked extremely disheveled, with a lot of bloodstains on him, his clothes torn, and covered with several injuries, indicating a fierce battle in the dense forest.

Moreover, only a third of the Su Family members whom Su Wu brought with him remained.

On the way back to the Su Family, Su Wu didn’t say a word.

Ten miles away from the Su Family, more than a dozen cars drove up to greet them.

They seemed to know that Su Wu had encountered trouble midway.

One middle-aged man stepped forward to check Su Wu’s injuries and his face turned grim, ”Wu’er, are you okay?”

Su Wu shook his head, forcing a smile, ”Medicine King Valley has obviously made a big move this time, determined to go against us. Godfather, it seems we need to deploy the assassins.”

The middle-aged man nodded, glancing at the back of the car, ”Is he okay?”

Su Wu knew the middle-aged man was referring to Ye Guichen, and he gave a bitter smile, ”We worried too much. Four Half-step Masters died on site, including three people I know, all murdered. Although no one mentioned anything, I’m afraid it’s Ye Guichen’s doing. Heh, it seems rather redundant for us to be protecting him.”

The middle-aged man was incredulous, ”One person, killed three Half-step Masters?”

”To be precise, it was one Cross Training Master, plus three Half-step Masters,” Su Wu added.

”Hiss...” The middle-aged man took a sharp breath, ”No wonder, no wonder Medicine King Valley put out a Bounty Order for him, and Master Zhang of Heavenly Master Tao even called my father to say we should lend him a hand. He really might be a divine star. But about Jiu’er…”

The middle-aged man hesitated.

Su Wu sighed, ”Godfather, about Jiu’er’s marriage, we initially agreed. The other side is from the Capital City’s prominent families, their status not inferior to our Sunan Mansion. But Jiu’er is adamant about not marrying him. I understand your intention, to bring Ye Guichen here partly to discourage him and partly to make Jiu’er give up. But if he is indeed this formidable, then…”

Su Wu also showed a look of embarrassment, ”Godfather, I’ve already brought the person here. If he clashes with Jiu’er’s fiancé and his family, I’m afraid…”

The middle-aged man furrowed his brows, ”It seems we must reconsider this matter thoroughly. With Medicine King Valley having made their stance clear and using a large amount of pills to attract experts to support them, although they didn’t explicitly say they want to deal with our Su Family, a conflict is inevitable. Especially with the ambush you’ve encountered, even if it wasn’t Medicine King Valley who acted directly, it definitely has connections. Let’s first think of a way to postpone Jiu’er’s engagement, use dealing with Medicine King Valley as a pretext, to give Jiu’er some time to calm down.”

Su Wu nodded, ”It’s all we can do.”

The middle-aged man didn’t say anything more and instead walked over to Ye Guichen’s car, gently knocking on the window.

As the window rolled down, Ye Guichen asked, ”What’s the matter?”

The middle-aged man introduced himself, ”Oh, I am Su Cheng, Su Wu’s godfather, and also Su Jiu’er and Su Ze’s father. Last time in Yun City, Su Ze offended you greatly, and I must apologize to Mr. Ye here.”

With that, Su Cheng cupped his hands towards Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen was a bit surprised, not expecting the son of the Sunan King to be so humble, quickly getting out of the car, ”Uncle Su, you’re being too kind. Although Su Ze was a bit impulsive, it happened in the past, and if he can change, that’s good.”

Back in Yun City, Su Ze, out of jealousy, tried several times to make things difficult for Ye Guichen, almost getting himself killed by Ye Guichen.

Later, he was taken back to the Su Family, and has been under house arrest since.

Speaking of which, he hadn’t been seen in over half a year.

Su Cheng was clearly a man of deep scheming, his face betraying no emotions, politely said, ”Mr. Ye, I initially wanted to have you stay with the Su Family for a few days to prevent any accidents. But I just received news that Medicine King Valley has completely severed ties, even declaring war on our Su Family, warning that our Su Family should not get involved, or they would target us. This time, I’m afraid…”

Ye Guichen couldn’t tell if Su Cheng’s words were sincere, but seeing him stop the convoy here, he got a rough idea.

He didn’t want to let himself enter the Su Family for the time being.

”Oh, it’s fine, we’ll just stay nearby for the night and head to Medicine King Valley tomorrow, no problem,” Ye Guichen was indifferent.

The original plan to visit the Su Family was primarily due to Su Wu saying that Su Jiu’er was determined. If it weren’t for Su Jiu’er, Ye Guichen wouldn’t have bothered with this trip.

Now that Su Cheng had spoken, it seemed that Su Jiu’er had been appeased.

Su Cheng, hearing this, breathed a small sigh of relief, beckoning to someone behind him.

Soon, a person came to stand before Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen naturally recognized this person, none other than Su Ze, who had gone to Yun City with Su Jiu’er before.

It had been more than half a year since they last met, and Su Ze seemed noticeably thinner, his eyes slightly sunken, but he appeared much more composed.

”Uncle Su, what’s the meaning of this?” Ye Guichen didn’t point it out.

He had no fondness for Su Ze.

Although Su Ze had likely been confined at the Su Family for the past half-year and had been punished, Ye Guichen had no good feelings toward someone who wanted to harm him.

In fact, after just one glance at Su Ze, Ye Guichen shifted his gaze away, not looking again.

A subtle, cold glint flashed deep in Su Ze’s eyes. If it had been before, he might have already erupted, but now he stayed silent, only clenching his fists slightly.

Su Cheng seemed to sense a change in Su Ze, his face darkening as he rebuked him, ”Ze’er, the scheming against Mr. Ye in Yun City failed. You accepted the punishment, which you deserved. Now that Mr. Ye is here in our southwest region, it’s your chance to seek his forgiveness. During the upcoming time, take Mr. Ye to Medicine King Valley, and whatever Mr. Ye requests, try your best to fulfill it, understand?”

Su Ze nodded compliantly, ”Father, I understand.”

Su Cheng smiled at Ye Guichen, ”Mr. Ye, I know you’re not familiar with the place here, but Master Zhang has requested that we help. Even though Su Ze has been foolish before, I’ve disciplined him, and I hope you can give him a chance to atone for his mistakes.”

Su Cheng adopted a very humble posture, continuously addressing him as ”Mr. Ye,” leaving Ye Guichen unable to refuse.
