My Silly, Sweet Wife

”Hey, three grown men bullying a little girl, how shameless!”

However, before Jin Ling could make a move, Ye Guichen’s voice sounded.

Ye Guichen had unknowingly disembarked the vehicle, leaning against the car door, smiling as he glanced at Fang Tiancheng: ”Fang Tiancheng, right? Are you with King Qin?”

Fang Tiancheng smirked sarcastically, ”That’s right, King Qin wants to see you, so you have to come with me.”

”What if I’m unwilling?”

”I’m afraid you have no choice.” Fang Tiancheng was convinced that Ye Guichen was nothing more than a cowardly turtle; even if he could kill Du Yun’er, it was likely with someone’s help.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to speak a word in front of Chu Tiannan and had to be protected by him like a mother hen shielding her chicks.

Besides, he had three masters on his side, who could easily take down a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Dealing with Ye Guichen and Jin Ling was just too simple.

Ye Guichen nodded, indicating he understood, then swaggered over to Jin Ling, nudging her shoulder: ”Hold on for a second, since I haven’t had the chance to meet King Qin, now that there’s an opportunity, can you let me speak a few words first?”

Jin Ling glared at Ye Guichen, secretly cursing, thinking this isn’t the time to be talking.

”Ye Guichen, you better run when you get the chance!”

Although Jin Ling looked down on Ye Guichen, he was still someone Chu Tiannan valued, and as one of the Thirteen Grand Protectors, she should act accordingly.

Since Chu Tiannan had entrusted Ye Guichen to her, Jin Ling couldn’t let anything happen to him.

Ye Guichen didn’t expect Jin Ling to suggest he run away at this moment. He chuckled, ignoring her, and looked at Fang Tiancheng: ”I just want to ask, did King Qin play a role in murdering the Netherworld Emperor and causing chaos in the Hidden Gate?”

Fang Tiancheng sneered, ”Do you even need to ask? Heh, without King Qin, how would the other six kings dare? In the Hidden Gate, only King Qin could become the next Netherworld Emperor. Kid, what’s the point of this question? Once you meet King Qin, become his puppet, and you can ask him anything!”

Ye Guichen shook his head: ”At the moment, I’m not quite interested in meeting King Qin.”

”I’m afraid you have no choice!” Fang Tiancheng stepped back and ordered, ”Kill the woman, leave the man barely alive!”

Three black-robed masters immediately swung their long knives, sealing Ye Guichen and Jin Ling tightly within.

Jin Ling’s face turned pale, looking at Ye Guichen as if he were an idiot.

If Ye Guichen had taken the chance to escape earlier, he might have had a slim chance.

But now, Ye Guichen went out of his way to ask a pointless question, disembarking and stepping right into their encirclement.

Damn, isn’t this just idiocy?

Though cursing inwardly, Jin Ling still quickly scanned the surroundings, trying to find a way for Ye Guichen to escape.

But as she pondered, the three long knives were already approaching.

Jin Ling had no time to think, she could only fight back.

To her surprise, before Jin Ling could make a move, the three black-robed men were already sent flying, hitting the ground, twitching twice, unable to move.

One of them smashed onto the car’s hood, denting it.

”What’s happening?” Jin Ling was dumbfounded and turned to look at Ye Guichen, only to see him patting his hands, as if he’d done something trivial, saying: ”Hey, so weak, I thought King Qin’s men would have some impressive tricks, but they’re just low-skilled!”

Fang Tiancheng’s pupils contracted.

He rushed to one of the black-robed men, checked his pulse, and his expression instantly turned grim: ”You killed them?”

Ye Guichen shrugged: ”If I didn’t kill them, should I keep them for the New Year?”

”You know they are King Qin’s men, yet you dare to kill?”

Ye Guichen was speechless, ”Precisely because they’re King Qin’s men, I had no psychological pressure at all when killing them.”

”You, you…” Fang Tiancheng pointed at Ye Guichen, trembling with fear.

He never expected Ye Guichen to be so terrifying.

Three Half-step Masters hadn’t even seen how Ye Guichen acted, and they died so easily.

”Haha, good lad, I’ll give you a chance today!” Fang Tiancheng quickly ducked into the car, ignoring his three companions’ bodies, and drove away: ”The green hills will not change, and the waters will flow long, Ye Guichen. King Qin’s target won’t escape capture!”

Fang Tiancheng left behind an arrogant remark and soon disappeared.

Jin Ling was still in a half-dazed state.

It took her a long time to snap back to reality, incredulously looking at Ye Guichen: ”Was it really you who made the move just now?”

Ye Guichen didn’t answer, instead, he sighed as he watched Fang Tiancheng leave: ”I originally wanted him to pass a message to King Qin, asking him not to die so soon, but he ran away faster than a rabbit.”

He turned and sat back in the car.

Jin Ling swallowed hard.

Recalling how Ye Guichen forced the white-haired zombie to kneel and beg for mercy, and glancing at the three corpses, she finally sat back in the car compliantly.

Jin Ling made a call to have the bodies dealt with, then growing curious about Ye Guichen: ”What’s your cultivation level exactly?”

Ye Guichen glanced at Jin Ling: ”Actually, Chu Master really worries too much. Even if King Qin’s men came, I still wouldn’t be afraid. But seeing how concerned Chu Master is, I didn’t want to refuse.”

”Hmph!” Jin Ling scoffed when Ye Guichen didn’t answer directly, ”So by your logic, even Lord Military God isn’t your match?”

The tone was noticeably better than before.

Ye Guichen nodded: ”Now I have the confidence to defeat Chu Master, but since he treats me so well, I certainly wouldn’t duel him.”

Jin Ling wouldn’t believe this, as she soon drove to a villa in the suburbs.

From the outside, the villa looked ordinary, but Jin Ling bringing Ye Guichen here proved it was extraordinary.

”Since Lord Military God advised you not to move freely during this time, you might as well stay here.” Jin Ling drove directly into the villa’s courtyard.

The villa’s gate was sensor-activated.

Yet, upon entering, Ye Guichen sensed an array’s fluctuations.

He turned to look closely and understood.

From the outside, the villa looked normal, but it was enveloped in an array so powerful that even Grandmaster Realm experts couldn’t break through.

”Ah, so Chu Master truly cares for me!” Ye Guichen lightly sighed, feeling genuinely touched.

Such arrays aren’t easily set up.

This place was clearly Chu Tiannan’s unique safe spot; entrusting Jin Ling to bring him here was quite a hefty favor.
