My Silly, Sweet Wife

”What’s wrong, Hall Master?”

The others saw the Martial Arts Hall Master looking shocked and all started to ask.

”Is there no hope?”

”Hall Master, you must kill the Eastern Ninja and avenge our junior brother!”

”Ah, it’s all because of my lack of ability, otherwise our junior brother wouldn’t have died!”

Many from the martial arts hall thought their brother couldn’t be saved, and they were all very downcast.

However, in the eyes of the Martial Arts Hall Master, he saw something different.

After all, the Hall Master had already reached the Grandmaster Realm and was also the president of the Tianjing Martial Arts Association, so his eyesight was rather keen.

He actually saw strands of green energy emanate from Ye Guichen’s hands and gradually enter into the body of the disciple named Xiao Qi.

Moreover, the Hall Master clearly felt that as the green energy entered, the previously lifeless Xiao Qi began to burst with vitality.

This process lasted for a good ten minutes.

The previously bloodless Xiao Qi’s face also became much rosier, and his breathing gradually stabilized.

”Alright, send him to the hospital now. He’s broken four ribs, and he’ll probably need to recuperate in bed for a while.”

After Ye Guichen repaired Xiao Qi’s internal organs, he stood up and said.

”It’s okay now?”

Everyone was astonished and unsure.

Also, Ye Guichen hadn’t even checked Xiao Qi’s body earlier; he didn’t do any examination and yet claimed Xiao Qi had four broken ribs. It seemed quite unbelievable.

However, the Martial Arts Hall Master was filled with joy, ”Thank you, thank you very much.”

He immediately instructed people to carry Xiao Qi away.

”All those of you who are injured, go to the hospital for a check-up, and the expenses will be covered by me.” After saying this, the Hall Master looked at Ye Guichen enthusiastically, ”Sir, may I know how to address you?”

Though he did not understand why Ye Guichen had green energy within him, or how he could save a life just through touch, he was certainly an extraordinary person worth befriending.

”Oh, I’m Ye, Guichen is my name.” Ye Guichen replied, ”It’s no trouble at all, don’t mention it.”

”Ye Guichen?” The Hall Master felt the name was somewhat familiar but couldn’t recall it at the moment, and quickly said courteously, ”Mr. Ye, if you have some time, may I invite you inside?”

Ye Guichen, having nothing else to do, and knowing that the red-clothed vengeful spirit probably wouldn’t appear during the day, nodded in agreement.

The Hall Master led Ye Guichen into the reception room and immediately instructed someone to prepare tea. Once the others had left, the Hall Master asked, ”Mr. Ye, may I know your occupation?”

Though uncertain about Ye Guichen’s martial prowess, his earlier actions in healing and saving lives had made the Hall Master eager to establish a connection.

Given the chance, the Hall Master naturally wanted to keep Ye Guichen close by.

Ye Guichen chuckled, ”Oh, I’m not in any high position, just wandering around. By the way, Hall Master, what’s the matter with these people from the Eastern Ninja Sect?”

The Hall Master sighed when Ye Guichen mentioned the Eastern Ninja Sect, and he explained, ”To be honest, Mr. Ye, those from the Eastern Ninja Sect have been in Tianjing for days now. Every day, they’re challenging our martial arts halls. In the past few days, eleven martial arts halls have been defeated, plus several martial artists have died. Originally, I thought they wouldn’t dare challenge my Azure Dragon Martial Arts Hall, but I hadn’t expected that during my meeting with the Martial Arts Association, they not only attacked my hall but also nearly killed someone. If it weren’t for Mr. Ye stepping in, sigh...”

Ye Guichen furrowed his brow.

These Eastern Ninjas are so arrogant.

”So how are you planning to deal with this, Hall Master?” Ye Guichen inquired.

Ye Guichen had no fondness for the Eastern Ninjas.

Previously, at Great Cold Mountain, he heard the Eastern Ninjas mention that their Sect Leader would come to challenge Military God Chu Tiannan.

But who is Chu Tiannan?

He is a symbol of the army, the pinnacle of martial arts, and if he truly were to fight the Sect Leader of the Eastern Ninja Sect, no good would come of it regardless of the outcome.

If he wins, Chu Tiannan’s status alone makes it an unfair fight.

If he loses, the Eastern Ninjas will surely claim that Hua Country’s martial arts are inferior, even the Military God was defeated.

Thus, if there really were a challenge to Chu Tiannan, it would be completely unnecessary.

The Hall Master was clearly troubled by this as well, sighing, ”Mr. Ye, truthfully, the people from the Eastern Ninja Sect didn’t just come for us martial artists; they’re likely targeting Lord Military God. Of course, Lord Military God must not make an appearance. If he does, we will be at a disadvantage. Just now, I didn’t strike heavily because I wanted to lure out the Sect Leader of the Eastern Ninja Sect. If I can, by defeating him, at least I’ll have provided Hua Country Martial Arts with an explanation.”

”Oh?” Ye Guichen was somewhat surprised. It seemed the Hall Master had already considered the intentions of the Eastern Ninja Sect. He asked, ”How confident are you in dealing with the Sect Leader of the Eastern Ninja Sect?”

The Hall Master smiled bitterly, ”Mr. Ye, don’t laugh at me, I don’t have even a bit of confidence.”

”Hmm?” Ye Guichen was somewhat surprised, ”Hall Master, you’ve already reached the Grandmaster Realm and you still have no confidence?”

”Hehe.” The Hall Master shook his head, ”Mr. Ye wouldn’t know, though I am in the Grandmaster Realm and considered a leader in Tianjing’s martial arts, that Sect Leader of the Eastern Ninja Sect is a true expert. Rumor has it he’s just half a step away from the Great Grandmaster, and his ninjutsu is extraordinary. Moreover, his specialty is the Thousand Mechanism Slash, which has claimed the lives of countless Grandmasters. Sigh, there’s no other choice this time. Our Martial Arts Association discussed for a long time without result, I’m the only one who might withstand a few moves, but ultimately, I’m afraid I’ll end up dead. My death is trivial, but the arrogance of the Eastern Ninjas is unbearable.”

At this point, the Hall Master had a sense of going to battle and never returning.

At this moment, someone came to report from outside.

”Hall Master, the people from the Eastern Ninja Sect have sent a message. They say that in an hour, if the Hall Master dares, go to the Qingyuan Arena, the Sect Leader of the Eastern Ninja Sect will be there then.”

”Qingyuan Arena?” Hearing this name, the Hall Master’s pupils slightly constricted.

Ye Guichen was unfamiliar with the name, ”What happened?”

The Hall Master explained, ”Ah, the Qingyuan Arena is an arena created by martial artists themselves in the territory of Tianjing. Previously, when martial artists had disagreements, they would go to that arena to compete, but once on that arena, they have to fight to the death. Also, before stepping onto the arena, a life-and-death contract must be signed, and if someone gets killed, there will be no pursuit of accountability.”

”Oh?” Ye Guichen hadn’t expected the Sect Leader of the Eastern Ninja Sect to pull such a move, ”From what you’re saying, it seems he wants to completely humiliate you in front of Tianjing’s martial artists, so that you can’t lift your head in shame.”
