My Silly, Sweet Wife

Someone dragged Su Qing in front of Su Mu.

Su Mu was just about to take a closer look at Su Qing when he suddenly saw Su Qing erupt, drawing a dagger from his waist and thrusting it straight at Su Mu.

No one expected such a sudden change, and everyone was stunned.

Only Su Cheng was beside Su Mu, but he was too far from Su Qing to react in time.

Although Su Mu’s body was extremely weak, he was still a master. The moment Su Qing drew the dagger, he had already reacted, slapping Su Qing’s shoulder and sending him flying.

However, after delivering this slap, Su Mu’s breathing involuntarily became rapid.

After being slapped away, Su Qing’s arm was apparently crippled. Before anyone else could step forward to restrain him, he started laughing maniacally: ”Su Mu, you old bastard, even if I didn’t succeed in killing you today, I won’t let you go in my next life as King Yan! I’m your grandson, yet not as valued as an outsider, haha, you old bastard, you’re too biased!”

Then, he suddenly raised his other hand and slapped his forehead, shattering it instantly and dying on the spot.

Su Yuan was dumbfounded.

Everyone was shocked.

Su Qing actually committed suicide.

”Dad, brother, I, I…” Su Yuan was at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Su Cheng, however, couldn’t be bothered to argue with Su Yuan, seeing Su Mu’s breathing becoming increasingly labored as if he wouldn’t survive. He immediately shouted: ”What are you waiting for? Quickly go get Ye Guichen.”

Someone hurriedly ran out and soon brought Ye Guichen in.

As soon as Ye Guichen entered, he saw Su Qing’s corpse lying on the ground.

However, he paid no attention to Su Qing’s corpse and quickly went to Su Mu, grabbing his wrist and swiftly performing the Yi Wood Evergreen Technique.

Streams of vitality flowed into Su Mu’s body.

Although it was just the first level of the Yi Wood Evergreen Technique, in Ye Guichen’s hands, it was akin to fish in water, like adding wings to a tiger, unknowingly showing extraordinary effects.

As the vitality continued to flow into Su Mu, his previously rapid breathing gradually stabilized.

Everyone, seeing this, widened their eyes and looked incredulously at Ye Guichen.

”What is happening?”

”He did nothing, yet pulled the old man back from the Ghost Gate?”

”Isn’t this unbelievable? No wonder he is the legendary Sect Leader of the Shennong Sect, indeed living up to his reputation!”

”Too amazing!”

”Mr. Ye, is father, is he okay?” Su Cheng asked nervously.

Ye Guichen withdrew his hand: ”For now, he’s fine, but the old man’s chronic illness has lasted too long; recovery won’t be easy. In this situation, the old man should rest without further stimulation.”

Ye Guichen didn’t refuse to save Su Mu; it’s just that Su Mu’s body was as good as half-dead.

This is perhaps also the downside of the Yi Wood Evergreen Technique.

In such a large Su Family, only Su Mu had cultivated the Yi Wood Evergreen Technique to the second level. Over the years, Su Mu used this technique to maintain his vitality quite frequently.

Without this cultivation technique, Su Mu would have likely been dead long ago.

Even so, Su Mu’s body continued to weaken, becoming a spent force given the current level of the Yi Wood Evergreen Technique he possessed.

This was the reason for Su Mu’s deteriorating health, turning him into a spent force.

Even though Ye Guichen’s medical skills were extraordinary, he couldn’t bring a dead person back to life.

Sighing, he watched the Su family place Su Mu onto the bed before asking: ”What just happened?”

Su Cheng didn’t conceal anything, quickly recounting what happened.

Ye Guichen also became intrigued, stepping forward to examine Su Qing’s body.

Initially, he didn’t notice anything unusual, but Su Qing’s body was extremely cold, not at all like it had just died.

”Hmm? Strange?” Ye Guichen suddenly thought of something, immediately pried open Su Qing’s mouth, and instructed: ”Pull out his tongue for me!”

Su Yuan was scared out of his wits now; although he didn’t understand what Ye Guichen intended, he rushed to help, hoping to atone for his wrongs.

After much effort pulling out Su Qing’s tongue, everyone present was astonished.

”What’s going on here?”

”Damn, why is Su Qing’s tongue forked?”

”Is this still a human tongue? Why does it look like a snake’s tongue?”

Fortunately, the Su Family members present were Su Mu’s most trusted people, composed individuals, or else there would’ve been an uproar.

Su Yuan, however, was blank-faced: ”Is, is he my son?”

Su Cheng also questioned: ”Yes, Mr. Ye, what does this mean?”

Ye Guichen furrowed his brows and asked: ”Have you ever heard of an ancient witchcraft called the ’Beauty Snake’?”

”Beauty Snake?” Everyone was startled, shaking their heads in confusion.

Ye Guichen explained: ”This is an ancient witchcraft similar to the Gu Liangren technique, which supposedly vanished hundreds of years ago, believed to be lost, no longer appearing. Yet, I didn’t expect it to show up here. The Gu Liangren technique involves using the human body as a host for Gu worms, transforming people into entities more frightening than zombies. The Beauty Snake, however, involves using oneself as a vessel for holding Gu poisons, consuming snake meat and blood from the age of three months until eighteen years, morphing the body into a snake-like constitution. Its body fluids become akin to Gu poison, easily misleading others’ minds, achieving the purpose of controlling them.”

”Ah? So, does this mean Su Qing was actually controlled by someone?” Su Yuan was somewhat delighted. If this were true, although Su Qing was dead, it wouldn’t implicate him, nor affect his wealth.

Ye Guichen nodded: ”Most likely, but now that ancient witchcraft is re-emerging, appearing within the Su Family, the trouble is likely substantial.”

Su Cheng also furrowed his brows: ”Mr. Ye, I understand what you imply. It seems our adversary involves not only the person behind Shen Lian’s murder but also the influence of the Eternal Life Hall?”

Ye Guichen shook his head: ”I’m not entirely sure, but failing to find the hiding place of Wei Donglin and his siblings after so long, it might be connected.”

He pointed at Su Qing’s body.

”Su Qing?” Su Cheng suddenly slapped his forehead: ”Right, we’ve searched for such a long time, yet never found a room for the Su Su family. Could it be that Wei Donglin is hiding in Su Qing’s room? Alright, I’ll immediately have Su Wu search; no room shall be overlooked.”

Su Cheng quickly issued the order.

Ye Guichen didn’t elaborate, instead smiling at Su Qing’s corpse.

The development of events was becoming more interesting.

Initially, it seemed like someone was interested in the Su Family’s assets, but it now appeared the matter was not solely about the Su Family’s properties.

Even those involved with ancient witchcraft were getting involved.

Could there be other intentions?

Thinking of this, Ye Guichen inexplicably thought of the coffin hidden in the well by Su Mu, alongside the woman in the coffin.
