My Silly, Sweet Wife

There aren’t many people inside the Qingfeng Tea House.

As soon as Ye Guichen entered, someone immediately approached him and escorted him straight to a private room in the innermost part of the tea house.

Outside the private room stood several people, all experts, and it was evident that this tea room was of a higher standard compared to others.

”Mr. Ye, please come in!”

The guide politely opened the door.

After Ye Guichen walked in, the door was immediately closed.

Although the tea room was not large, the environment inside was very elegant, with a landscape painting hanging on the wall.

Wang Xiao had been waiting inside for a while. He saw Ye Guichen come in and didn’t exchange too many pleasantries: ”Mr. Ye, although I, Wang Xiao, am just bones, my life was saved by you, and our Wang Family owes you a great debt. Though I may not know the depth of your vendetta with the Shen Family, if you want to deal with them, I won’t even bat an eye.”

He stated his intentions right from the start.

Ye Guichen smiled faintly: ”Old Wang, your words are too heavy. I appreciate your goodwill, but I’m afraid you might not be able to assist in this matter. Since the Shen Family has issued a bounty order against me, you should know that there are many hidden experts in this world who may not be easy for you to handle, so I still want to deal with this matter myself.”

”Mr. Ye, I know your skills, but this time the situation is completely different. I’ve heard not only the Shen Family wants to act against you, but even the Qin Family might not let you off. Moreover, you also incapacitated the Ninth Grand Protector of Lord Military God. Before coming here, that old guy from the Mu Family called me and expressed his thoughts. Although from the bottom of his heart he wants to stand by your side, the incident with the Ninth Grand Protector involves Lord Military God, and since he’s part of the military, taking a stand might make Lord Military God have some reservations, so...”

Ye Guichen had long known about Situ Yu’s sensitive identity. Disabling him would undoubtedly invite unnecessary trouble, but if others bullied him and he allowed them to roam free, that wouldn’t be his style.

”Old Wang, I understand. I still hope you can tell Mr. Mu not to interfere. Since the Shen Family wants to deal with me, I naturally cannot sit and wait for my death. So today, I plan to visit the Shen Family and ask Shen Wanzhong directly!”

”What! You want to go to the Shen Family?” Wang Xiao was startled: ”That’s a dragon’s den and tiger’s lair. If you go there, I’m afraid...”

Ye Guichen waved his hand: ”I know, but what is a dragon’s den or tiger’s lair? In my eyes, it’s just a small sheep pen. Old Wang, you took the risk to call me here today, and I appreciate your goodwill, but this is my matter. I only hope that during the time I’m away, you can protect my people and make sure no one touches the Martial Arts School or Shennong Hall. When I return, I will definitely express my gratitude.”

”Mr. Ye, rest assured about this. I’ve already sent people secretly to keep watch. Although the Jinling Prince Mansion may not count for much in the eyes of the Shen Family, this is still my territory. If anyone dares to act recklessly, I’m not one to be trifled with!”

Saying this, Wang Xiao chopped the solid wood table beside him with one palm: ”Ever since Mr. Ye saved me from a near-death, my cultivation has progressed by leaps and bounds. Now I’ve reached the Grandmaster Realm, although perhaps not as good as Mr. Ye, but in Jinling, I believe no one is my match.”

Ye Guichen had naturally sensed Wang Xiao’s change when he came in.

Now a Grandmaster, Wang Xiao’s aura was more fierce, truly deserving of the Jinling King’s title.

However, since the Shen Family had issued a bounty order against him, some hidden powers probably included grandmasters. If he hid, it might implicate others.

Instead of reacting passively, it’s better to take the initiative.

A small Shen Family was not really worth Ye Guichen’s attention: ”Old Wang, if there’s nothing else, then I’ll leave first. Jinling is in your hands.”

”Mr. Ye, if there’s any command, just a word from you, and I won’t even blink!” Wang Xiao immediately cupped his hands.

”Alright!” Without further ado, Ye Guichen didn’t even have a sip of tea before leaving abruptly.

When he left, Ye Guichen didn’t let Wang Ying escort him but walked back alone.

On the way, he also had someone book him a plane ticket to Tianjing.

This time, Ye Guichen was heading alone into Yanjing.

”Grandpa, Ye Guichen isn’t really going to Tianjing, is he?” Upon learning that Ye Guichen truly intended to head to Tianjing, Wang Ying furrowed his brows: ”Are we really going to just stand by and do nothing? Given Ye Guichen’s immense kindness to our Wang Family, even if it results in mutual destruction with the Shen Family, it would be warranted!”

Wang Xiao sighed: ”Xiao Ying, I understand your intentions, but compared to the Shen Family, our Jinling Prince Mansion is still quite weak. However, since Mr. Ye is the esteemed person from the Heavenly God Temple, he wouldn’t act recklessly. If he dares to break into the Shen Family in Tianjing, he must be very confident. My current concern is that the issue with the Ninth Grand Protector might involve the Military God, which could become tricky. It’s not something I can intervene in easily. If it further involves the Mu Family, it won’t be good either. So, now, whether you have business or not, you should visit Murong often and try to gather information. Transmit the events through the Mu Family to the ears of Lord Military God. As long as Lord Military God keeps his side restrained, the Shen Family shouldn’t be able to do anything to Mr. Ye for the time being. As for the Qin Family, heh, they likely won’t act rashly for a minor branch member, right?”

Even as he said this, Wang Xiao couldn’t help but feel somewhat worried inside.

Having already inquired about Qin Liu’s desire to seize Dragon Tomb Peak, Wang Xiao also knew the situation.

Both Qin Yu and Situ Yu seemed to be advocating for Qin Liu.

However, Qin Liu’s status in the Qin Family was merely average, so Wang Xiao held a slim hope that the Qin Family wouldn’t confront Ye Guichen for the sake of someone like Qin Liu.

Though Wang Xiao pondered this way, he couldn’t entirely rid himself of the anxiety inside.

After all, Ye Guichen was now somewhat famous, with numerous businesses to his name. If larger interests got involved, who knows if the Qin Family might choose to simply sit back and wait?

Wang Ying naturally understood Wang Xiao’s intention, quickly nodding at his words: ”Alright, I’ll go find Murong right now and hope to gather some information that could benefit Ye Guichen.”

With that, Wang Ying hurried off.

Watching Wang Ying’s departing figure, Wang Xiao couldn’t help but sigh deeply: ”Ah, this girl, truly hard to keep when she’s grown up. Clearly, she has feelings for someone, yet she still pretends not to care. All these years, I’ve never seen anything stir so much concern in her.”

With a bitter smile, Wang Xiao pondered for a moment, then took out his phone and made a call: ”Tell everyone in the Prince Mansion to be on full alert. If anyone dares to touch the people of Shennong Hall, they’ll be killed without mercy!”
