My Silly, Sweet Wife

”Master Ye? Magic Master?” The half-eaten apple in Wu Liang’s hand fell to the ground, ”Are you sure?”

His subordinate lowered his head: ”Almost, I used a lot of people to investigate these matters. Although some people in the Medicine King Valley remained tight-lipped, I’m friends with one. After getting him drunk, he revealed a bit, I fear...”

Wu Liang waved his hand, signaling his subordinate to leave.

After the subordinate left, Wu Liang’s expression showed concern.

Magic Master.

If Ye Guichen is truly a Magic Master, then all calculations would have to be reassessed.

In this world, martial arts experts are numerous, yet those who reach the peak of martial arts remain rare.

Magic Masters are even rarer among the rare ones, perhaps a hundred times more valuable than Martial Arts Grandmasters.

But regardless of martial arts or magic, it seems Ye Guichen can do it all.

”Could it be that Ye Guichen is the real help invited by the Su Family?”

For a moment, Wu Liang felt at a loss, not knowing what to do.

After thinking for a while, Wu Liang quickly arranged his clothes and walked briskly toward his father’s room.

However, just as he reached Wu Hualong’s room, he heard hearty laughter from inside.

”Haha, Mr. Long, you’re too polite. It’s a blessing for the Wu Family to have Mr. Long say a word. How could I, Wu Hualong, be so thoughtless?” Wu Hualong’s tone was extremely courteous, with a very humble attitude.

Wu Liang felt puzzled and hurriedly knocked on the door.

As soon as the door opened, Wu Liang saw Long Yuntai sitting with Wu Hualong, drinking tea together.

”Mr. Long?” Wu Liang was momentarily stunned.

Since Long Yuntai, along with Wu Dan, went to Medicine King Valley, there had been no news.

It’s only been a few days, how did Long Yuntai suddenly return?

Moreover, chatting happily with his father?

Wu Liang was full of confusion.

Seeing Wu Liang enter, Wu Hualong gestured warmly, ”Come, come, quickly greet Mr. Long.”

Wu Liang, despite his internal doubts, still respectfully saluted.

After all, Long Yuntai was a master of the Esoteric Sect, a figure that the Wu Family could not afford to offend.

These masters of magic, if offended, could use unknown means, leaving you unaware of how you died.

Just like Wu Dan and those bodyguards, Wu Hualong and Wu Liang both suspected that it was Long Yuntai who intervened.

However, without evidence, they had no way.

And even if they had evidence, they still wouldn’t have a way.

So, these matters could only be ignored.

”Alright, I’ve said what I needed to, the Family Head can consider it.” Long Yuntai seemed unwilling to say more, standing up, glancing at Wu Liang: ”I still need to find the Sect Master, hope the Family Head doesn’t make a muddle-headed mistake, even if I have goodwill with the Wu Family, I can’t protect you.”

”Alright, alright, let me see Mr. Long off.” Wu Hualong also quickly stood up, his face full of smiles, escorting Long Yuntai out of the Wu Family.

Watching Long Yuntai’s departing figure, Wu Liang, who had been silent behind, could no longer contain his curiosity, and asked: ”Father, why has he returned?”

”Humph, returned naturally to warn me.” Wu Hualong turned around and walked back.

Wu Liang quickly caught up: ”Father, what do you mean?”

Wu Hualong looked at Wu Liang, sighed: ”Wu Liang, do you know that Ye Guichen’s true identity?”

”By the way, Father, I just investigated, Ye Guichen is very likely the Master Ye who appeared at Medicine King Valley, so I was about to report to you.” Wu Liang quickly replied.

Wu Hualong chuckled self-deprecatingly: ”Master Ye? Haha, he’s more than just Master Ye. His real identity is the Esoteric Sect Sect Master, unmatched in the world, the Sect Master of the most powerful sect!”

After saying this, Wu Hualong seemed to age considerably.

Wu Liang’s pupils contracted, his face full of disbelief: ”Father? Esoteric Sect Sect Master? You’re, you’re not joking?”

”Joking?” Wu Hualong gently shook his head: ”You and I both know Long Yuntai is from the Esoteric Sect, and he personally said Ye Guichen is the new Sect Master of the Esoteric Sect. Do you feel I’m joking, or is Long Yuntai joking?”

”Hiss...” Wu Liang took a deep breath.

This news was even more shocking than being a Magic Master.

The Esoteric Sect is the leader of the magic world and the origin sect of magic.

If this is true, then compared to Ye Guichen, they are but ants.

If they anger him, their only path is death.

”Father, then, what do we do next?” Wu Liang’s voice trembled.

Originally, he didn’t even consider Ye Guichen, but now suddenly realizing the formidable beast he was facing.

If the other side bares its fangs, it might tear them apart, leaving not even bones.

Compared to Ye Guichen, the Su Family seemed so insignificant, not worth mentioning.

Wu Hualong sighed deeply: ”Ah, what else can we do, seek peace. Since the Su Family can hold onto Ye Guichen, why can’t our Wu Family? I’ve heard Su Jiu’er from the Su Family seems to have a good relationship with Ye Guichen, perhaps there’s a connection?”

Wu Liang paused, then puzzledly said: ”Father, you mean Ye Guichen helped Su Family because of beauty?”

”There’s that possibility.” Wu Hualong said, like an old fox: ”Though he’s achieved much despite his young age, after all, young blood runs high, who doesn’t love beauty? Su Jiu’er, though pretty, our Wu Family’s girls aren’t scrubby either.”

Wu Liang’s eyes brightened: ”Father, are you referring to sister Wu Nuannuan?”

”Yes.” Wu Hualong looked at Wu Liang with profound meaning: ”Since childhood, I’ve cultivated Nuannuan, ensuring she excels in every art, so she could marry into a wealthy family and aid the Wu Family. I thought Su Mu, that old fellow, clinging to the Shen Family would let Su Family fly high, and I’d connected with Capital City’s elites, planning to marry Wu Nuannuan into one of those families. But now, it’s seemingly unnecessary. If Ye Guichen favors her, it might rival marrying into wealth.

Wu Liang was somewhat unwilling: ”Father, though sister Nuannuan isn’t as publicly recognized as Su Jiu’er, praised as Southwestern’s Flower, her beauty, figure, even substance, is no less, perhaps more. Do you really intend to offer her to Ye Guichen? Is he truly that formidable?”

Wu Hualong squinted, saying: ”Aliang, you still don’t understand Esoteric Sect’s terror. This sect isn’t one we can touch. Even knowing Long Yuntai was from there was chance luck. When I learned, I thought of offering half the Wu Family’s assets to keep him, but they could acquire the world’s wealth easily. So, if Nuannuan catches Ye Guichen’s eye, it’s tough for the Wu Family not to soar.”

”Is, is it truly so powerful?” Wu Liang stood still.

It’s his first hearing his father speak so highly of a sect, a person.

Wu Hualong waved his hand: ”Now, inform Nuannuan, I will visit personally. Also, Ye Guichen being Sect Master must not leak, I feel even Su Mu doesn’t know. If Su Mu learns, he’d spread the word widely.”

Wu Liang nodded: ”Father, rest assured, I understand.”
