My Silly, Sweet Wife

Jin Ling sighed, pouting: ”As long as this stone lights up with one color, it’s enough to be nurtured. If we were only looking at power, that Ye Guichen could probably light up at least two colors, but this stone isn’t just about ability, it’s about potential. I think he’ll at most light up two colors.”

Cai You also agreed: ”Earlier, I found it hard to believe that Situ Yu got defeated by him. After all, no matter how strong in martial arts, Situ Yu isn’t weak. In a pure strength contest, Situ Yu wouldn’t lose so badly that he couldn’t even escape. But seeing this guy deal with the white-haired zombie today, it seems he practiced some strange cross-training techniques. His strength surpasses ordinary imagination. That’s why Situ Yu didn’t expect it and got defeated in one blow, without a chance to escape.”

Jin Ling was still a bit unwilling: ”Even so, talent is a strange thing; it’s not just about power. No matter how skilled Ye Guichen is, he absolutely cannot light up more than three colors.”

Ye Guichen was extremely interested in this novel thing.

He was actually very curious about how much power he possessed.

Since there was such a fascinating thing here, Ye Guichen naturally had no reason to refuse.

Seeing Wen Cangfeng nodding at him, Ye Guichen wasn’t shy and stepped forward to place his hand on the seven-colored stone.

However, the stone didn’t react at all, not a single color lit up.

Ye Guichen’s expression turned a bit sour.

No way?

Could it be that he had no potential?

Wen Cangfeng was also puzzled, and after waiting for a while, seeing the stone unresponsive, he comforted: ”Brother Ye, actually you’re already very powerful. Your fist can frighten even the white-haired zombie, and you’re not afraid of facing a Cross Training Master. As for having potential, it really doesn’t matter.”

Cai You and Jin Ling in another room were also somewhat surprised.

A hint of mockery surfaced on Cai You’s face.

”Wow, I thought he’d have great potential, but he has none at all!”

”Yeah, pity such tremendous power has no potential whatsoever. Seems like his development stops here,” Cai You felt a bit regretful.

Despite not having much contact with Ye Guichen, being able to take down a white-haired zombie barehanded is no ordinary feat.

But no matter how great the strength is, without potential, it’s useless.

In this world, strength alone is of no use.

Especially for people like them, who have seen many strange things, deeply understand that strength is just one aspect; there are many bizarre spells and witchcraft that can easily kill someone like Ye Guichen.

”No, look quickly!” As Cai You silently sighed, Jin Ling suddenly pointed at the monitor and shouted.

Cai You immediately focused his gaze on the screen.

Looking at it, Cai You was shocked: ”What’s going on, what’s going on here?”

Visible to the naked eye, the stone actually developed cracks.

Wen Cangfeng was also stunned.

This kind of thing has never happened before.

This stone was obtained with great difficulty, and though its principle hasn’t been figured out, it has screened many talents for them over the years.

It can even be said, this stone has never been wrong.

Even if it lights up merely one color, it’s definitely talent. If it lights up more than two, it can be called genius.

Someone like the Military God who can light up four colors is absolutely a first-rate figure in Hua Country.

But now, the stone hasn’t lit up any color and actually cracked?

”Quick, quickly inform Lord Military God, everyone stay alert!” Wen Cangfeng’s face turned white.

This stone is priceless. If it’s really broken, he cannot bear the responsibility.

Wen Cangfeng absolutely didn’t think the stone cracking was related to Ye Guichen.

From years of investigation, they’ve speculated this stone is related to higher-level cultivation, possibly even beyond the hidden sect.

It’s very likely it belongs to a cultivator.

But given their level, they can’t contact any cultivator, so they’ve never been able to confirm what this stone really is.

However, none of this matters.

What’s important is that the stone is a treasure and must not be damaged.

Following Wen Cangfeng’s order, Jin Ling quickly took out a phone, dialing Chu Tiannan’s number.

But no one answered the call.

He dialed several times, still no answer.

”Damn, what now?” Jin Ling glanced at Cai You.

Cai You was equally helpless: ”Immediately gather everyone, and meet up with Brother Wen.”

At this moment, they could only go and check on the stone.

Soon, a dozen people arrived at the room where Wen Cangfeng was.

Although many of these people weren’t members of the Thirteen Grand Protectors, each clearly had uncommon skills like Cai You, the Spirit Communicator, or Jin Ling, the Wizard skilled in witchcraft.

Seeing the stone’s cracks, everyone looked as if they’d seen a ghost.

”Second Grand Protector, what’s going on?”

”This stone has been here for probably over a hundred years, and nothing like this has ever happened!”

”Could something major be about to occur?”

”What should we do next?”

Everyone’s expression turned a bit grim, some even slightly agitated.

The stone’s cracks were clearly not a good sign.

A Taoist wearing a robe with a large Bagua diagram embroidered at the front, appeared to be over fifty, resembling Ninth Uncle, holding a wooden sword in his left hand and a compass in his right, mumbling continuously.

After murmuring for a while, the Taoist’s expression suddenly changed: ”Not good, this is a sign of major turmoil!”

”What?”

”Master Pang, please explain clearly!”

Everyone focused their gaze on the so-called Master Pang.

Wen Cangfeng frowned as well, whispering to Ye Guichen: ”This is our Feng Shui Master. He’s a prophet, able to see things many of us can’t. It’s said he was once a master of Yi studies. Although not part of the Thirteen Grand Protectors, his skills are not to be underestimated.”

Ye Guichen nodded, indicating he understood.

In this world, Feng Shui Techniques may be invisible and intangible, but Feng Shui indeed exists.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have persisted for thousands of years without fading.

However, Ye Guichen’s attention wasn’t on Master Pang but was curiously staring at the stone.

Because when Ye Guichen touched the stone, he felt a sense of familiarity.

What’s even stranger was that upon touching the stone, Ye Guichen seemed to perceive something inside moving, as if breaking free from a cocoon.

”Could this really be because of me?” Ye Guichen thought curiously, but seeing the tense expressions of Wen Cangfeng and the others, he couldn’t help but feel a bit awkward.

If the stone really cracked because of him, how would he face Chu Tiannan later?

”Crack!”

Before Master Pang could explain further, a crisp cracking sound came from the direction of the stone again.

Everyone’s eyes were immediately drawn to it.
