My Silly, Sweet Wife

Although Ye Guichen didn’t ask much, Jin Ling told Ye Guichen everything that had happened.

According to Jin Ling, the other party is King Qin, one of the hidden sects. Because the Hall Master of the Eternal Life Hall, Du Yun’er, was involved with King Qin, and Chu Tiannan actually had Du Yun’er killed, destroying their grand plan.

So, the other party requires Chu Tiannan to give an explanation.

”An explanation, what kind of explanation do they want from Chu’s Military God?” Ye Guichen asked rhetorically.

Jin Ling quickly replied, ”Two conditions: either let Lord Military God help them get the Book of Life and Death or help them capture the Son of the Nether Emperor.”

Hearing this, Ye Guichen couldn’t help but smirk.

These two conditions were clearly aimed at him.

However, it was somewhat unbelievable that a dignified Military God could be constrained by the other party.

”Do they have very high cultivation?” Ye Guichen asked again.

”Not really, just at the Grandmaster Realm, but after all, they represent King Qin. Lord Military God does not want to fall out with them for now, so...”

”Alright, I’ll go take a look.” After thinking for a moment, Ye Guichen felt it was necessary to make contact with King Qin’s people.

After all, the other party harbors ill intentions. For the time being, his identity hadn’t been exposed yet, but the matter of the Book of Life and Death was probably already known to many.

Anyway, there’s no need for him to keep hiding.

”Okay, okay, thank you, Mr. Ye.” Jin Ling quickly said.

Ye Guichen gestured for Jin Ling to lead the way.

Meanwhile, Chu Tiannan was staring expressionlessly at the person across from him.

Wen Cangfeng had already told Chu Tiannan about what happened in the underground base, but Chu Tiannan simply didn’t have the time to address it.

Sitting next to Chu Tiannan was Qin Ru.

It was obvious that it was through Qin Ru’s connection that King Qin’s people found Chu Tiannan.

The atmosphere felt somewhat oppressive.

”Mr. Fang, Tiannan truly didn’t know that King Qin was behind it, so Tiannan can’t be entirely blamed for this.” Qin Ru tried to ease the tension, forcing a faint smile as she spoke to King Qin’s envoy.

The person sent by King Qin was named Fang Tiancheng, also known as King Qin’s Envoy.

He appeared to be in his thirties but carried an air of supremacy, not taking Chu Tiannan seriously at all.

Hearing Qin Ru speak up for Chu Tiannan, Fang Tiancheng gave Qin Ru a sideways glance: ”Family Head Qin, your last name is also Qin. Who do you think gave you the position you have now? Are you speaking up for an outsider now?”

Qin Ru’s face subtly changed, and she quickly explained: ”Mr. Fang, I didn’t mean that. But Tiannan is responsible for the safety of the entire Hua Country, and the appearance of the Eternal Life Hall is threatening Hua Country, so he was forced to act. Moreover, I’ve heard there’s more to the story.”

”Family Head Qin, I repeat, there’s no place for you to speak here!” Fang Tiancheng’s face had already darkened: ”If you don’t want to be Family Head, I can replace you. If Chu’s Military God doesn’t want to give me an explanation, King Qin has said he doesn’t mind creating a little chaos. Heh, if King Qin wants to stir up trouble in the mundane world, I think Chu’s Military God will be so busy that he won’t be able to manage, right?”

The threat was blatant.

Chu Tiannan’s face looked very unpleasant: ”I’ve said it, if King Qin wants to make trouble for me, I’ll take it. This matter is unrelated to others.”

”Unrelated?” Fang Tiancheng laughed heartily: ”Chu’s Military God, you might be an esteemed figure in the eyes of others, but to me, you’re nothing! According to our intelligence, the person who killed the Hall Master of the Eternal Life Hall is named Ye Guichen. Hand over that guy named Ye Guichen, and I’ll let this go on your part!”

Qin Ru looked at Chu Tiannan, ”Tiannan, how about...”

”I’ve said it, this has nothing to do with others; it’s my idea!” Chu Tiannan directly interrupted Qin Ru’s words, ”Moreover, Ye Guichen knows nothing about this matter, don’t trouble him.”

Outside the room, Wen Cangfeng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

”Why aren’t they here yet, why aren’t they here yet?”

Wen Cangfeng had a basic understanding of Fang Tiancheng’s purpose.

This time, Fang Tiancheng came for Ye Guichen, wanting Chu Tiannan to hand Ye Guichen over to King Qin.

If Chu Tiannan refused, they wouldn’t hesitate to take measures against him, possibly even assassinate Chu Tiannan.

In this scenario, knowing Chu Tiannan’s dilemma, Wen Cangfeng secretly informed Jin Ling to call Ye Guichen over.

According to Wen Cangfeng, no matter what, they needed to shift the conflict between King Qin and Chu Tiannan onto Ye Guichen.

However, Wen Cangfeng did not reveal their true intentions to Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen naturally had no idea.

”Brother Wen, will that person named Ye Guichen come?” a young woman couldn’t help but ask as she watched Wen Cangfeng pacing back and forth.

The woman was evidently close to Chu Tiannan and understood Fang Tiancheng’s purpose.

Wen Cangfeng sighed, uncertain: ”He should come.”

”If he doesn’t come, what will Lord Military God do?” The woman’s face was full of dissatisfaction: ”As for King Qin’s people, hmph, they’re just here to flaunt their power. Why should Lord Military God fear them? If worst comes to worst, we fight them. With Lord Military God’s current strength, can he not handle a mere King Qin?”

Wen Cangfeng chuckled wryly: ”You don’t understand. King Qin is connected to the hidden sects. If we solely rely on Lord Military God’s strength, coupled with the military’s power, perhaps we could contend with King Qin. But Lord Military God has more to consider. If King Qin simply sends some masters to cause trouble or even attempt assassinations, Lord Military God wouldn’t be able to handle it all.”

”Then, what do we do?” The woman frowned, her face full of distress.

At that moment, footsteps echoed from the end of the corridor.

Wen Cangfeng and the woman looked towards the source of the sound simultaneously.

Seeing that, Wen Cangfeng breathed a sigh of relief: ”He’s here.”

He signaled to the woman with a look, indicating for her not to speak further, and quickly approached, ”Mr. Ye, you’re finally here.”

Ye Guichen was, of course, unaware that Wen Cangfeng was scheming for Chu Tiannan at his expense.

Even if he knew, Ye Guichen could understand.

After all, to people like Wen Cangfeng, Chu Tiannan’s value far exceeded his own.

Ye Guichen smiled at Wen Cangfeng, ”That red-clad resentful spirit has already been eliminated.”

”So quickly?” Wen Cangfeng was momentarily stunned.

He knew the red-clad resentful spirit’s power. Originally, it took four or five people to barely capture it.

In just one day, it was already dead?

But Wen Cangfeng didn’t think much of it, just assuming Ye Guichen had good luck, and quickly said politely, ”Excellent, excellent, Mr. Ye doesn’t disappoint and is someone even our Lord Military God values.”

After some polite exchanges, Wen Cangfeng glanced at Jin Ling, then said to Ye Guichen, ”Mr. Ye, please wait for a moment. I’ll go inside and announce your arrival.”

”Okay.” Ye Guichen nodded, not saying much more.

However, before Wen Cangfeng entered the room, Ye Guichen felt that Jin Ling and another woman were blocking his path, as if afraid he would run away.
