My Silly, Sweet Wife

Ye Guichen immediately took a liking to the Yi Mu Chang Qing Technique at first glance.

For Ye Guichen, the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique was too aggressive, and every time it was used, it was almost guaranteed to take a life.

Just from the literal meaning, the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique was a life-draining, lethal weapon.

However, the Yi Mu Chang Qing Technique was completely the opposite.

After casually flipping through it, Ye Guichen could basically understand the function of the Yi Mu Chang Qing Technique, which not only could be used to defeat enemies but also to nurture vitality, heal illnesses, and save people.

It perfectly matched his path in medicine.

According to Su Mu, he had managed to reach the Grandmaster Realm by cultivating the Yi Mu Chang Qing Technique to the second level, proving that this technique was probably not inferior to the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique.

”Sunan King, why did you give me this technique and not to the Su Family?” Ye Guichen asked.

Su Mu gave a bitter smile, ”Mr. Ye, this technique is not something that just anyone can cultivate. The most talented person in our Su Family is Su Wu. Although he was taken in, I consider him my grandson. I even taught him this technique, but for some reason, he couldn’t even master the first level. Perhaps it’s because his nature is too firm, making him unsuitable for such a gentle technique.”

Ye Guichen said no more and nodded, ”Alright, in that case, I’ll agree to your terms to protect your Su Family for thirty years. But what do you want to do? Do you want a marriage with Shen Lian, or something else?”

Su Mu seemed to have anticipated that Ye Guichen couldn’t resist the allure of this technique and quickly replied, ”I hope you can take Jiu’er away from Shen Lian.”

”Hmm?” Ye Guichen’s face turned cold.

Almost instantly, Ye Guichen understood Su Mu’s intention, ”You want to shift the conflict between the Su and Shen families onto me and Shen Lian?”

”Ah, how is it that you’ve achieved so much at such a young age? Even your way of thinking surpasses many of your peers,” Su Mu said, nodding. ”So far, Shen Lian has been with our Su Family for several days, but with my current appearance, I naturally can’t meet him. If he were to see me like this, even if he wanted to slowly swallow our Su Family, he would be eager. But now, it’s just as well, signaling to the Shen Family that I’m still conservative about this marriage arrangement.”

”I also know that if this conflict involves you, Mr. Ye, it will bring you a lot of trouble, but I’m left with no choice. Nowadays, not only are members of our Su Family starting to become restless and colluding with others, but many noble families in the Southwest Region are already baring their fangs, ready to move against us. If we add the Shen Family into the mix, I’m truly overwhelmed.”

Ye Guichen understood the predicament faced by the Su Family.

Su Mu’s health was failing, and it could not be hidden for much longer.

Many noble families must have gotten the news and were ready to act against the Su Family.

This time, if the Shen and Su families were able to marry successfully, they might exercise some caution and wait for the right opportunity. However, if this marriage alliance breaks down, they definitely won’t hesitate any longer.

A dying tiger, no matter how fierce, can’t bite with its claws and teeth fallen.

The only thing they feared was Su Mu.

After pondering, since the Su Family helped the Shennong Sect establish a foothold in the Southwest Region and also had the Yi Mu Chang Qing Technique, Ye Guichen calculated that it seemed worthwhile.

Most importantly, even if he didn’t deal with Shen Lian, Shen Lian definitely wouldn’t let him off.

”Fine, it’s settled then.” Ye Guichen glanced at the female corpse in the crystal coffin and left without saying another word.

Su Mu didn’t leave in a hurry but sat quietly by the crystal coffin, doing who knows what.

Ye Guichen didn’t want to bother about the female corpse’s identity and quickly found Feng Wuji after leaving.

Before heading to Medicine King Valley, Ye Guichen asked Feng Wuji to take Nong Huaji to recuperate first and then meet up at the Su Family.

Feng Wuji, after all, was a candidate for the next Feng Family Patriarch, one of the four major noble families in the Capital City. Although many people from the Su Family came with distinguished statuses today, they were quite respectful in front of Feng Wuji.

”Young Master Feng, I didn’t expect to see you here. It seems the Sunan King has quite some influence to have you come.”

”Indeed, seeing you today, Young Master Feng, you truly live up to your reputation, elegant and poised. By the way, have you heard about it? There was a Master Ye from the Medicine King Valley a few days ago. I wonder if it’s true?”

”I heard about it. He supposedly defeated masters of the Esoteric Sect and is quite accomplished in the arts.”

”Come on, there’s surely some exaggeration. Apparently, that Master Ye is related to the Shennong Sect. Perhaps it’s just the Shennong Sect trying to promote themselves by blowing things out of proportion. What kind of sect is the Esoteric Sect? All techniques originate from there, and it’s been gone for so long. How could it suddenly emerge?”

”That’s true. It’s highly likely just a tactic of the Shennong Sect. And this Master Ye, they’re not afraid of boasting too much and biting their tongue.”

Feng Wuji listened alongside them.

Recently, rumors about the Master Ye, an expert in techniques, were rampant.

However, Feng Wuji hadn’t seen him in person and didn’t know if that Master Ye had any connection to Ye Guichen.

Several phone calls went unanswered.

This made him even more curious.

Amidst the exchanges, Feng Wuji seemed distracted, continuously looking around for Ye Guichen.

Now, Feng Wuji was eager to see Ye Guichen to verify if the Master Ye from Medicine King Valley was indeed Ye Guichen.

”What are you looking at?” Suddenly, someone patted Feng Wuji on the shoulder.

Feng Wuji turned his head and was immediately filled with surprise, ”Master?”

Ye Guichen nodded slightly, ”Seems like you’re quite popular here.”

Feng Wuji scratched his head in embarrassment, ”Not really, not really. Right, Master, that Master Ye...”

”Young Master Feng, who is this?”

Most of the people greeting Feng Wuji hadn’t met Ye Guichen before, and seeing that Feng Wuji knew him, they couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Before Feng Wuji could introduce him, Ye Guichen introduced himself, ”Oh, I’m just an insignificant person from a small place in Yun City. I merely know Young Master Feng by chance.”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions turned disdainful.

”At the Su Family’s engagement party, someone from a small place like Yun City sneaked in. It’s really surprising.”

”Didn’t you hear? Knowing Young Master Feng, he must have brought him in.”

”Yeah, yeah, but looking at him, it doesn’t seem like this Mr. Ye has much of a relationship with Young Master Feng.”

Many lost interest in talking to Ye Guichen.

Feng Wuji couldn’t understand why Ye Guichen wanted to hide his identity and gave Ye Guichen a peculiar look.

Ye Guichen nodded to Feng Wuji and turned to leave.

Feng Wuji quickly followed, ”Master, are you alright? The reputed Master Ye of Medicine King Valley, is that you?”

In a secluded spot where no one was around, Ye Guichen looked at Feng Wuji, ”What’s your relationship with Shen Lian?”

”Shen Lian?” Feng Wuji was startled.

As they belonged to the four major noble families, Feng Wuji naturally knew Shen Lian.

But to talk about the relationship, it could only be described as ordinary.
