My Silly, Sweet Wife

Wu Dan seemed to be very apprehensive of the middle-aged man, and quickly nodded: ”Alright, alright, I’ll do whatever Mr. Long instructs.”

Then, he provocatively extended a middle finger towards Ye Guichen and quickly walked ahead.

Su Ze looked at Wu Dan’s back, spat, and cursed incessantly: ”Coward, still dare to challenge our Su Family, how many lives do you have?”

Ye Guichen observed Su Ze’s demeanor, knowing that Wu Dan probably had an unusual background, but he couldn’t be bothered with these family grievances and instead looked meaningfully at the middle-aged man.

For some reason, Ye Guichen always felt an eerie sensation from this middle-aged man.

”Mr. Ye, are you very curious about that Wu Dan?” Lou Shanguan came over, explaining quietly before Ye Guichen could ask: ”The Wu Family is also a large family in the Southwest region, second only to the Su Family. Hehe, in the territory of Tianzhou, many people say the Wu Family might become the next Southwest King, and the Su Family will become history, so the Wu Family and the Su Family are hostile towards each other.”

Lou Shanguan glanced at Su Ze as he said this.

Although Wudang, where Lou Shanguan belongs, is on the territory of Sunan King, there aren’t many entanglements between them.

Moreover, the sects are basically independent, they speak fairly and don’t fear anyone, so Lou Shanguan didn’t avoid Su Ze when speaking.

”Mr. Ye, but no one expected the Su Family to have a beauty, known as the ’Flower of the Southwest,’ but due to the status of Sunan Mansion, most of the young masters of the prominent families in the Southwest didn’t dare to show any affection, as they say, they have the heart but not the guts.”

”Hehe, but this Wu Dan openly proclaimed that Su Jiu’er is his wife and insisted on marrying Su Jiu’er, even wanting to take the entire Su Family with her.”

”Naturally, the Su Family was furious hearing this, but it was just the words of a junior, so the elders couldn’t intervene, and over time, Wu Dan became even more presumptuous, thinking the Su Family feared them.”

”I just didn’t expect to encounter the Wu Family’s people here. Hehe, as far as I know, the Wu Family has been gathering experts over the years, expanding their influence, aiming to rival the Su Family and seize the Southwest King title.”

This Lou Shanguan is indeed eloquent, not like an ordinary, gentle and quiet Taoist.

But hearing Lou Shanguan’s words, Su Ze’s face turned red with anger: ”Master Lou, you’re a man of religion, why are you gossiping like an old woman here? Hmph, even if the Wu Family can gather more experts, how could they possibly match our Su Family? My grandfather has been Sunan King for decades; our Su Family’s foundation is strong. How can they, the Wu Family, contend with us?”

Lou Shanguan giggled: ”I was just enjoying a bit of gossip, hehe, but I’ll say something you might not like to hear, dealing with Medicine King Valley this time, Wudang has made great efforts. Look at us, we’ve dispatched so many Wudang disciples, enough to show our leader’s sincerity. But your Su Family only sent you and Mr. Ye, perhaps your Su Family also has trouble and can’t spare the manpower?”

Su Ze glared at Lou Shanguan: ”Master Lou, what do you mean by this?”

Lou Shanguan seemed to have not the best impression of Su Ze either, shrugged and said: ”I have no other meaning, but dealing with Medicine King Valley this time isn’t just about Mr. Ye’s Shennong Sect and our Taoist sect, this matter probably involves your Sunan Mansion too. But your Sunan Mansion only sent you, so I don’t see any sincerity in dealing with Medicine King Valley.”

Seeing Su Ze still wanting to argue, Lou Shanguan raised his hand to interrupt: ”Young Master Su, you are the young master of the Su Family, highly respected, I am just a small Daoist, speaking without reserve, there’s no need for you to argue with me. I’m just speaking my mind, and that’s that, please don’t take it to heart.”

As he spoke, he didn’t forget to say to Ye Guichen: ”Mr. Ye, you are a guest that Master Zhang himself instructed to be well-protected. Everyone knows I have a loose tongue; I just say things without thinking, please don’t take my words to heart. If you see the sect leader later, please don’t mention this to the sect leader, otherwise, I will be punished again.”

Ye Guichen smiled: ”No problem.”

Though he said nothing, Ye Guichen felt that Lou Shanguan and the Su Family didn’t seem to have a good relationship.

Or perhaps, the situation in the Southwest seemed more complicated than he knew.

Although the Su Family was called the Southwest King, and even the largest family in Tianzhou, they didn’t seem to be popular, aside from the Wu Family, it seems that their relationship with Wudang isn’t also great, giving a facade of unity while being divided at heart feeling.

This relationship is completely unlike in Quanzhou where the Gongsun Family, while being Quanzhou’s largest family, has an inseparable relationship with Heavenly Master Tao.

However, Ye Guichen didn’t want to delve into these intricacies.

After all, he came this time to deal with Medicine King Valley, once the matter was resolved, he would boost Shennong Sect’s influence, completely eradicate Medicine King Valley, and leave once it’s done. As for the Southwest affairs, he couldn’t be bothered to manage them.

Meanwhile.

Wu Dan and his group, who had gone ahead, slowed down.

This was the deep mountains, difficult terrain, if not knowing Medicine King Valley’s location, even walking a lifetime might not find it.

But clearly, the middle-aged man with Wu Dan was familiar with the area, walking steadily, hands behind his back, as if walking on flat ground.

”Mr. Long, do you think there really are ghosts in this world?” Wu Dan almost jogging to keep up with the middle-aged man, asked as they had left Ye Guichen and the others behind, unable to hold back.

The middle-aged man glanced at Wu Dan: ”Young Master Wu, this time the master had you follow me to Medicine King Valley just to broaden your horizons. As for whether there are ghosts, you’ll see for yourself then.”

”Hehe, Mr. Long, I know you have extraordinary skills, but I’m just curious.” Wu Dan smiled cheekily, apparently trying to get some information out of Mr. Long.

Long Yuntai squinted his eyes, as if talking to himself: ”Young Master Wu, I won’t tell you more, but I can responsibly tell you, this time we take advantage of Medicine King Valley’s chaos to come here, to find that Yinfeng Land, once we obtain what’s inside, I, Long Yuntai, not only guarantee the Wu Family to become Southwest King, but also trample the Su Family underfoot. Hehe, as for Wudang Mountain, if they turn a blind eye, I won’t bother them, but if they dare to make any move, I will also erase them from this world.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Dan’s eyes lit up: ”Mr. Long, then I’ll rely on you, but when dealing with the Su Family, make sure to leave Su Jiu’er for me, I still want to play with her.”

Long Yuntai’s eyes showed a trace of disdain, but he didn’t say it out loud, just nodded slightly: ”Don’t worry, Young Master Wu.”
